makkiz [27]

Answer: $525,400

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Nash's Trading Post, LLC had an increase in inventory of $88800, the cost of goods sold was $414400 and that there was a $22200 decrease in accounts payable from the prior period.

Using the direct method of reporting cash flows from operating activities, Nash's's cash payments to the suppliers will be:

= $88,800 + $414400 + $22200

= $525,400

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895

After 1989, Donna purchased series EE savings bonds for $2,500 at the age of 25. This year she redeemed the bonds for $5,000 and

Orlov [11]

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Donna purchased series of savings bond for $2,500 at the age of 25

This year Donna redeemed the bond of $5,000

She paid $3,000 as expenses for her daughter education

The first step is the calculate the interest income

= $3,000/$5,000 × $2,500

= 0.6 × $2500

= $1,500

Therefore the interest that will be required by Donna to include in her gross income this year can be calculated as follows

= $2,500-$1,500

= $1,000

Hence Donna is required to include an interest of $1,000 in her gross income this year

Volgvan

Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.

Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.
