The crying will be more difficult to control if they do not stick to a consistent reinforcement plan.

The partial reinforcement effect says <em>resistance </em>to learning is greater when the good/bad behavior is only reinforced part of the time.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1 Line item description                Cost                Retail

2 Beginning inventory                 40000            360000

3 Purchases                                  1000000        10000000

4 Transportation in                       50000

5 Purchase returns                      -20000          -196000    

6 Net purchases(3+4+5)             1030000        9804000

7 Net additional markups                                    800000    

8 Cost to retail ratio                     1070000       10964000

  component(2+6+7)

9 Net markdowns                                                -500000    

10 Sales                                                                  -9800000    

11 Ending inventory,retail(8+9+10)                       664000

Setup calculation:

Cost to retail ratio = Cost to retail ratio component at cost/Cost to retail ratio component at retail

= 1070000/10964000

= 0.097592

= 9.76%

Ending inventory,cost = Ending inventory,retail*Cost to retail ratio

= 664000*9.76%

= $64806

Cost of goods sold = Sales*Cost to retail ratio

= 9800000*9.76%

= $956480

Suppose you are currently invested 100% in U.S. stocks and you CANNOT short: a.Find the portfolio that maximizes expected return
Volgvan

Answer:

Part a: The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Explanation:

As the question is incomplete and the data is not available, thus the complete question is found as attached with the solution.

The Sharpe rate is given as

S_a=\frac{E_a-E_r}{\sigma}

Where

  1. E_a is the estimated rate of return for a value
  2. E_r is the risk free rate of return
  3. σ is the standard deviation of the investment.

The portfolio variance is given as

\sigma^2_{portfolio}=\sum_{i}^{n}{\sigma_i^2w_i^2}+\sum_{i}^{n(n-1)/2}{cv_i}

Where

  1. σ is the standard deviation of the investment.
  2. w is the weighted value of the investment
  3. cv is the covariance term

Portfolio standard deviation is given as

\sigma_{portfolio}=\sqrt{\sigma^2_{portfolio}}

Expected rate is given as

E_{rate of return}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{E_a_i\times w_i}

Now the Sharp value is calculated as above.

Now the values as given in the excel sheet are added in the attached excel sheet,  following formulas are used to calculate various values

Sharpe ratio is calculated using =(B6-J3)/C6

Portfolio variance is calculated using (=B13^2*C6^2+B14^2*C7^2+B15^2*C8^2+B16^2*C9^2+2*B13*B14*C6*C7*D7+2*B13*B15*C6*C8*D8+2*B13*B16*C6*C9*D9+2*B14*B15*C7*C8*E8+2*B14*B16*C7*C9*E9+2*B15*B16*C8*C9*F9)

Portfolio standard deviation is SQRT(Variance)

Expected return is calculated using =B13*B6+B14*B7+B15*B8+B16*B9

Sharpe is calculated using =(B23-$J$3)/B22

Part a:

The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:

The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Corbel Corporation has two divisions: Division A and Division B. Last month, the company reported a contribution margin of $47,8
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$15,450

Explanation:

The computation of the common fixed expenses is shown below:

We know that,

Net operating income = Contribution margin + Sales × contribution margin -  traceable fixed expenses - common fixed expenses

$35,700 = $47,800 + $235,000 × 25% - $55,400  - common fixed expenses

$35,700 = $47,800 + $58,750 - $55,400  - common fixed expenses

$35,700= $47,800 + 3,350   - common fixed expenses

So, the common fixed expense would be $15,450
