Answer:

Variance = 0.02141851

Explanation:

We first calculate the mean for the stocks

Mean = (0.1858 - 0.0558 + 0.2081) / 3

Mean = 0.3381 / 3

Mean = 0.1127

Variance = [(0.1858 - 0.1127)^2 + (- 0.0558 - 0.1127)^2 + (0.2081 - 0.1127)^2] / 3 -1

Variance = [0.0731^2 + (-0.1685^2) + 0.0954^2] / 2

Variance = 0.00534361 + 0.02839225 + 0.00910116 / 2

Variance = 0.04283702 / 2

Variance = 0.02141851

The variance of returns is 0.02141851

Firm A and Firm B have the same total assets, ROA and profit margin. However, Frim B has a higher debt ratio and interest expens
SashulF [63]

Answer:

A.) Firm B must have a higher ROE than first A.

Explanation:

Debt ratio is defined as percentage of a company's assets that is made up of debt and so it is calculated as a ratio of debt to assets of a company.

Interest expense is the amount that is paid to service a loan.

This implies that company B has higher loan portfolio than Company A.

Considering the accounting formula

Equity= Asset- Debt

So an increase in debt will result in a decrease in equity.

Return on equity= Net income/Equity

It follows that as debt increases and equity reduces, the ROE will increase since a shrink in the ROE denominator (Equity) will lead to an increase in the ratio.
