Answer:

true                                  

Explanation:

Assume, original stock was A. Now a new stock B is added.

Weight of Stock A in the portfolio=Wa

Weight of Stock B in the portfolio=Wb

Standard Deviation of Stock A=Sa

Standard Deviation of Stock B=Sb

Cova,b=Covariance between Aand B

Portfolio Variance=(Wa^2)*(Sa^2)+(Wb^2*Sb^2)+2*(Wa*Wb*Cova,b)

Correlation between A &B=(Cova,b/Sa*Sb)

Cova,b=Sa*Sb*(Correlation between A&B)

Hence,higher the correlation between A&B, higher will be the covariance (Cova,b).

Hence higher will be the Portfolio variance.

So, the reduction of risk will be lower.

Carpenters​ Company, a manufacturing​ company, acquired equipment on January​ 1, 2017 for $ 500 comma 000. Estimated useful life
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

$46,571

Explanation:

The cost price is $500,000

The residual value  is $ 11,000

Useful life is 7years

The depreciable amount will be cost price -residual value

=$500,000 - $11,000

=$489,000

Depreciation expense per year on the straight-line method will be

=$489,000/7

=$69,857. 14

After three years, the total depreciable amount will be 69,857.14 x 3

=$209,571.42

New book value after three years will be 489,000 - 209,571.42

=$279,428.58.

Useful has been adjusted to nine years.  Three years have passed. Four years remain plus two added years meaning six years to go.

Depreciation from the 4th year will be

=279,428.58/6

=$46,571

Critical Thinking Questions 1. Why do you think vinyl records are appealing to customers? 2. Do you think the sales growth will
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The answers are provided below

Explanation:

• Why do you think vinyl records are appealing to customers?

Vinyl records are appealing to customers due to nostalgia as people will typically love to recall their older times and hence will want to re-live them again. Also, listeners can listen to whole album rather than them listening to single tracks. Lastly, the packaging involved is great.

• Do you think the sales growth will continue to be strong for vinyl sales? Why or why not?

Yes, I think the sales growth will continue to be strong for vinyl sales. Due to the fact that vinyl records accounts for just a few portion of the entire sales in the music industry, this means that there is room for improvement and growth and can increase demand.

• What research would you want to conduct prior to making a decision to invest in new presses?

The research I would want to conduct prior to making a decision to invest in new presses are:

• The demand for vinyl records: This will help me to know the amount of people that request for vinyl records and know if there is any reason to invest in new presses.

Size of the market: The size of the market also plays a vital role in knowing whether to invest in new presses or not. If the market size is big, new presses can be considered, and vice versa.

Competitors: The competition had to be looked at critically in order to know if nee presses are required or not.

Consumers income: The consumers are the one purchasing the products so for anything to be done, they've to be taken into consideration. The higher the consumers income, the higher the probability of them buying new presses.

A company sells two models of a product—basic and premium. The basic model has a variable cost of $75 and sells for $100. The pr
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Beak-even point  =   450 units

                 

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of activity where a business makes no profit or loss. At this level of activity, the total contribution equals the total  fixed costs.

To calculate the break even point in a multi product scenario, we use the formula below:

<em>Break-even point = Fixed cost for the period / average contribution per unit</em>

<em>Average contribution per unit = Total contribution in a mix/ units in a mix</em>

We will follow the steps below to work out the Break-even point:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the average contribution per unit</em>

<em>contribution per unit for each product= selling price - variable cost</em>

Basic model = 100- 75 = $25

Premium model =  150 - 100 = $50

<em>Average contribution per unit</em> =<u> ( 5000 × $25) + (2500 × $50)</u>

                                                            (   5000 + 2500) units

                                = $33.33 per unit

Step 2

<em>Calculate the Break-even point</em>

Break even point = $15,000/ $33.33

                           =   450 units
