SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

The Expected profit from working hard will be:

= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)

= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)

= $180 + $5

= $185

Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:

= $185 - $100

= $85

Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:

= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)

= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)

= $45 + $20

= $65

Then, the profit will be:

= $65 - $0

= $65

Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the ret

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

$S^{2}$ = Σ $(X-X)^{2}$ / N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A) The account receivables turnover is 15, and B) the number of days sales in receivables is 24.3 days.

Explanation:

A) FORMULA FOR ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES TURNOVER =

NET SALES / AVERAGE ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES

Given information -

Net sales = $1500,000

Average account receivables = $100,000

Putting the values in formula -

= $1500,000 / $100,000

= 15

B) FORMULA FOR NUMBER OF DAYS SALES IN RECEIVABLES =

365 / ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES TURNOVER

= 365 / 15

= 24.3 DAYS

Using these data from the comparative balance sheet of Blossom Company, perform vertical analysis. (Round percentages to 1 decim

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Account receivable % = Account Receivable/Total Assets x 100

Account receivable % = $ 497,000/$ 3,101,000 * 100

Account receivable % = 0.16027088 * 100

Account receivable % = 16.0%

Inventory % = Inventory/Total Assets *100

Inventory % = $ 735,000/$ 3,101,000 * 100

Inventory % = 0.2370203 * 100

Inventory % = 23.7 %

Total Assets = $3,101,000 = 100%

Account receivable % = Account Receivable/Total Assets * 100

Account receivable % = $ 435,000/$ 2,758,000 * 100

Account receivable % = 0.15772298 * 100

Account receivable % = 15.8%

Inventory % = Inventory/Total Assets * 100

Inventory % = $555,000/$ 2,758,000 * 100

Inventory % = 0.20123277 * 100

Inventory % = 20.1%

Total Assets = $2,758,000 = 100 %

An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,300, $4,000, $5,200, and $4,400, for the next four years, respectively. The

xeze [42]

Answer:

1.64 years

2.27 years

3.13 years

Explanation:

Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90

Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years

B

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3 = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76

Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years

C

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1 = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3 = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24

Present value in year 4 = 4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60

Amount recovered in year 4 = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36

Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years
