Investment A produced annual rates of return of 4%, 8%, 14% and 6% respectively over the past four years. Investment B produced

Ghella [55]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The investment A was more risky, but in general they were both pretty much a risk.

With both having a produced annual rates of return in under 10%

Reason for A being the riskier is that his annual rate of return in average was 8%, while B's annual rate was 9%

Difference may seem small, but for bigger investments 1% can be a deal breaker.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The required journals are:

Debit Bad debt expense $10,070

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $10,070

(To record bad debt for the year)

Explanation:

To understand the effects of the transactions, we need to journalize as follows:

Debit Accounts receivable $454,000

Credit Sales revenue $454,000

(To record sales transaction on account)

Debit Cash $325,000

Credit Accounts receivable $325,000

(To record collections on account)

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $5,600

Credit Accounts receivable $5,600

(To record write-off of accounts receivable)

With the above journals, the balance in accounts receivable will be: $20,000 + $454,000 - $325,000 - $5,600 = $143,400. The 5% of $143,400 will be $7,170.

The effect of the write-off was to throw the unadjusted allowance for doubtful account into debit as $2,700 - $5,600 = $2,900. The required bad debt expense will $10,070 ($7,170 + $2,900).

Two 1000 dollar face value bonds are both redeemable at par, with the first having a redemption date 3 years prior to the redemp

finlep [7]

Answer:

$ 915.71

Explanation:

In order to determine the second bond price we need to determine the number of years to maturity of the first bond using nper formula in excel.

=nper(rate,pmt.-pv,fv)

rate is the semiannual interest rate of 6% (12%*6/12)

pmt is the semiannual interest=$1000*8.3%*6/12=$41.50

pv is the current price at $813.04

fv is the face value of $1000

=nper(6%,41.50,-813.04,1000)= 16.00

The years to maturity=16/2=8 years

The years to maturity of second bond=8+3=11 years

price of second bond=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 6%

nper is 11 years multiplied by 2= 22

pmt =5.3%*$1000=$53

fv is $1000

=-pv(6%,22,53,1000)=$915.71

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 1/15 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93$

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33$

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.
