Answer: $85,000
Explanation:
Drawings are debited/deducted from the Equity account to reflect that the owner's holdings in the business has reduced.
Profit is added to the Equity account in the form of Retained Earnings.
The closing Balance on Equity is;
Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Profit - Drawings
Profit = Closing Balance - Opening Balance + Drawings
Profit = 175,000 - 120,000 + 30,000
Profit = $85,000
Answer:
Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx
Explanation:
Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR
Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58
Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072
Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>
Expected HPR 14.49%
<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>
(A) (B) (A) - (B)
Given return Exp return d p 
60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718
58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045
49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>
Total = 122.91
wherein, d = deviation
p = probability
Standard Deviation = 
= 
= 11.08
<u></u>
<u>Working Note</u>:
Holding period return = 
Boom = 
= 26%
Similarly, for normal = 
= 18.4%
Recession = 
= (0.5)%
figure in bracket indicates negative return
What you’re talking about is Beta. Beta is the ratio of how much a stock changes relative to the market as a whole (NYSE, NASDAQ)
A Beta of 2.0 means it changes (up/down) twice as much as the general market (Dow, S & P, NAS), such as the twitchy, hyper reactive tech stocks ( FAANG’s and also boom-or-bust Big Oil). In other words, high Standard Deviations.
A Beta of 0.5 means it changes (up/down) half as much as the general market. Sleepy blue chips such as GE, AT&T or power utilities fall in that category. Low Standard Deviations
Most stocks by definition pretty much track the market (Beta 1.0) so there are a lot of those. Middling Standard Deviations
So…it is dictated by your risk tolerance.
Answer:
$70
Explanation:
Total revenue from three employees:
= No. of gallons of paint produced × Selling price per gallon
= 40 × $15
= $600
Total revenue from four employees:
= No. of gallons of paint produced × Selling price per gallon
= 48 × $15
= $720
Total revenue created by 4th worker:
= Total revenue from four employees - Total revenue from three employees
= $720 - $600
= $120
Cost of hiring 4th worker = $50 per day
Therefore,
Marginal profit for the fourth employee:
= Total revenue created by 4th worker - Cost of hiring 4th worker
= $120 - $50
= $70
Answer:
The journal entry is as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $18,000
Equipment (Fair value) A/c Dr. $9,000
To N's capital $27,000
(To record the investment bought by Nichols)
Workings:
Cash contributed by Nichols = $18,000
Equipment's Book value = $6,300
Fair value of equipment = $9000
Nichols capital = $18,000 + $9,000
= $27,000
