You own a stock which has produced annual returns of 11 percent, 3 percent, 8 percent, and 14 percent over the past four years,

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

C) 9.00; 8.92

Explanation:

The arithmetic rate of return is given by:

$R_{A} = \frac{11+3+8+14}{4} \\R_{A} = 9.00$

The geometric rate of return is given by:

$R_{G} = (\sqrt[4]{(1.11*1.03*1.08*1.14)} -1) *100 \%\\R_{G} = (1.0892-1) *100 \%\\R_{G} = 8.92$

Therefore, the arithmetic rate of return is 9.00 percent and the geometric rate of return is 8.92 percent

The answer is C) 9.00; 8.92.

McGregor Company allows customers to pay with credit cards. The credit card company charges McGregor 3% of the sale. When a cust

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

C. Debit Service Fee Expense for $6

Explanation:

McGregor only uses the services of the Credit Card company for their own activities, therefore, aside from the income of the service provided of $200, the credit card company will charge McGregor for the use of credit card services by the customer.

As such, since it is the decision of the customer to pay with a credit card, then the customer must bear the service fee expense of 3% of the cost of the service which is $6. Hence, Option C is correct. It means aside the $200 for the service, there is a need to debit service fee expense for $6

Option D is wrong because only $200 is service revenue, it has to be clearly stated that the 3% of $6 is different from the service revenue and should be debited as service fee.

If the customer is reluctant to make the payment, then there is an allowance to pay cash instead of using the credit card service.

Explanation:

The formula we will us to calculate the cash option payout for formula for calculating the present value (PV) .

Present value (PV) can simply be described as the current value of a future amount or future stream of cash flows given a certain return rate.

To calculate the PV of a future cash flow, we will discount it by using the discount rate.

The formula is provided as follows:

PV = FV/(1 + r)^n ............................................ (1)

Where,

PV = Present Value = ?

r = discount rate = 66% = 0.66

FV = annual future value = $863,636.36

n = number of years = 2222 years

Note that the annual future value calculated by diving the $1919 million by 2222 years and this give us $863,636.36 (i.e. 1,919,000,000 ÷ 2222 = $863,636.36).

Substituting the figures above into equation (1), we obtain:

PV = 863,636.36/(1 + 0.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/(1.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/∞

PV = 0

This is because, the division of any number by infinity is equal to zero. And if we multiply by zero by 2222, it will still give us zero PV.

Therefore, the cash option payout will be zero. It is better the winner take the option of collecting $863,636.36.
