Answer:
-1.0
Explanation:
Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.
The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.
In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.
Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.
Answer:
$-148,867.17
Explanation:
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=42000/1.15+44000/1.15^2+45000/1.15^3+50000/1.15^4+650,000/1.15^5
=$451132.83
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$451132.83-$600,000
=($148867.17)(Approx)(Negative figure)
Hence since NPV is negative;investment must not be made.
Answer:
b. greater under absorption costing than variable costing.
Explanation:
The question is to calculate the closing value of inventory and based on the choices, we need to calculate based on both the Absorption Costing and the Variable Costing Methods.
1. Closing Inventory based on Variable Costing Method
Direct Material $40
Direct Labour $30
Variable Overhead $2
Fixed Overhead <u>$0 </u>(this method does not reecognise fixed cost
Totals (Unit cost of Production) $72
Based on this, the closing inventory is $72 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $216,000
2. Closing Inventory based on Absorption Costing Method
Direct Material $40
Direct Labour $30
Variable Overhead $2
Fixed Overhead <u>$5</u>
Totals (Unit cost of Production) $77
Based on this, the closing inventory is $77 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $231,000
Based on these calculations:
The Ending Inventory is higher/Greater under absorption costing than variable costing and the reason is that variable costing does not recognize fixed cost in determining the value of ending inventory.
Answer:
Unless the company is 100% certain that it can prove Jim's misdeeds and has all the evidence to support their accusation, they should have waited for the police to act first before going to the newspaper. If their is the minimum chance that they cannot prove their accusations, Jim might be able to sue them for libel.
