In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketi

ng. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.

Shipping expense - Inconsistent

Bad debt expense - Unexplained

Salaries - Consistent

Lease of distribution center - Consistent

Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent

Advertising - Consistent

Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent

A portfolio consists of $13,400 in Stock M and $18,900 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.50 percent
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The expected return on the portfolio is:

10.31% ($3,331.40)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portfolio investments:  Expected Returns %   Expected Returns $

Stock M = $13,400           8.50%                           $1,139

Stock N = $18,900          11.60%                           $2,192.40

Total        $32,300          10.31%                           $3,331.40

Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100

= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100

= 10.31%

b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up.  Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment.  This yields 10.31% percentage value.
