Answer:

=> fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 0.4482 = 44.82%.

=> fraction to equity = 0.5518 = 55.18%.

Explanation:

So, in this question or problem we are given the following parameters or data or information which are; that the utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2 and the risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4.

The fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills and its equivalent fraction to equity can be calculated by using the formula below;

The first step is to determine or Calculate the value of fraction to equity.

Hence, the fraction to equity = risk premium/(market standard deviation)^2 - risk aversion.

= 8.10% ÷ [(20.48%)^2 × 3.5 = 0.5518.

Therefore, the value for fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 1 - fraction to equity = 1 - 0.5518 =0.4482 .

Cave Hardware's forecasted sales for April; May; June; and July are $ 170,000; $ 230,000; $ 190,000; and $ 260,000; respectively
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

accounts payable 128,500

Explanation:

To answer we must determine how much is the amount of purchases needed for the month of June.

It is not interesting the debt that is generated in previous months since they are paid in full, so in May the purchases of the month of May will already be canceled, so they will not impact the suppliers account.

June  

Purchases=  190,000 x 0.85 + (inventory cost of sales of the month) + 80,000 (inventory at the end of the month)  + 260,000 x 10% (inventory at the end of the month) = 276,500,

But according to the company's policy at the beginning of the month the inventory was equal to

80,000 + 190,000x10% (June sales) = 99,000

So the purchases necessary to meet the costs of sale and comply with the policy of the owner at closing is the same

267.500(inventory needed) - 99.000( initial existence) = 168.500

<u>the record will be </u>

Inventory      168,500

Cash                           43,810

accounts paylable    124,690

At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The uni
amid [387]

Answer: $80

Explanation:

Since the fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000, then the total cost will be:

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $180000 + 540000

= $720000

Since there are 9000 units, then the unit sales price will be:

= $720000 / 9000

= $80

The unit sales price is $80

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Production for Q2 12,700 units

Explanation:

Q2

sales for the quarter 11,000 units

desired ending inventory

20% of Q3

20% of 19,500 =      3,900 units

Total requirement   14,900 units

Beginning inventory

20% of Q2 sales

20% of 11,000 =      (2,200) units

Production for Q2   12,700 units

We add the sales and the desired inventory as the production needs.

The beginning inventory is subtracted, those units is work done towards the goal, so we need to produce the differente, which is 12,700 units.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$1,642.83

Explanation:

The amount after four years can be calculated using the formula below

A = P(1 +r)^n

where A= amount

P = Principal amount $1500

r= interest 2.3% or 0.023

n = time in year; 4

A = $1500(1 + 0.023)^4

A= $1500(1.023)^4

A=$1500x 1.095222

A=$1,642.83
