If the standard deviation of returns from an investment is zero, then: the risk associated with the investment is more than that
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

the expected return from the investment is higher than that of those investments whose standard deviation is greater than zero.

Explanation:

As for the coefficient of variation which clearly defines the difference in values from the mean value in the data set.

It clearly defines as standard deviation/mean.

Where standard deviation is 0 the coefficient will also be 0 which shall represent the risk associated with it.

The least the coefficient of variation the least the risk with maximum return.

Thus, the correct statement will be concluding that the expected return from this investment will be higher than the returns from the project in which standard deviation is more than 0.

You currently have $5,400. First United Bank will pay you an annual interest rate of 8.9, while Second National Bank will pay yo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Second National  Bank

Present value (PV) = $5,400

Future value (FV) = $13,900

Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n    

<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n

$5,400            

2.574074074 = (1.10)n

Log 2.574074074 = n  log 1.10

<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n  

Log 1.10                  

n =  9.9 years      

None of the answers is correct                                                                                                                                                          

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with  the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied                     by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.

EMD Corporation manufactures two products, Product S and Product W. Product W is of fairly recent origin, having been developed
Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.

Direct labour hours work during the period:

Product S=72,400 units×1 hour=72,400 hours

Product W=18,100 units × 3 hours=54,300 hours

Total labour hours=126,700 hour

Predetermined overhead rate=$958,396/126,700  =7.56 per hour

2.

Unit product cost of S = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Overhead = 12+16+7.56*1 = $35.56

Unit product cost of W = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Overhead = 34+13+7.56*3 = $69.68

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Basis risk for the future contract is 0.65%

Explanation:

Basis risk is the difference in spot price and future price of an hedged asset. It is the difference between the price price of an hedged asset and price of the asset serving as the hedge.

Basis risk = Futures price of contract − Spot price of hedged asset

Basis Risk = Future IMM index - Spot IMM index

Basis risk = 95.75% - 95.10%

Basis risk = 0.65%

LeCompte Corp. has $312,900 of assets, and it uses only common equity capital (zero debt). Its sales for the last year were $620
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

LeCompte Corp.

The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:

A) 7.57%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Assets = $312,900

Common Equity = Assets = $312,900

Sales for the last year = $620,000

Net income after taxes = $24,655

Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%

ROE (in amount) =  $312,900 * 15% = $46,935

Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100

= $46,935/$620,000 * 100

= 7.57%

b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income.  Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin.  The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit.  It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
