7 0

Answer:

a. 8%

Explanation:

Expected Return = [(Return*Probability)+(Return*Probability)+(Return*Probability) * 100%]

Expected Return = [{(15%*0.2)+(10%*0.2)+(5%*0.6)} * 100]%

Expected Return = [{(0.15*0.2)+(0.1*0.2)+(0.05*0.6)} * 100]%

Expected Return = [{0.03+0.02+0.03} * 100]%

Expected Return = [{0.08 * 100}]%

Expected Return = 8%

So, Liqin's expected return for fixing up and selling the Corvette is 8%.

Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

  •    F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )

Where,

  • F_{t} = New Forecast
  • F_{t-1} = Previous period's forecast.
  • \alpha = Smoothing Constant
  • A_{t-1} = Previous period's Actual Demand.
  1. Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

  • F_{5} = ?
  • F_{t-1} = 14000
  • \alpha = 0.4
  • A_{t-1} = 14750

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)

F_{5} = 14000 + 296

F_{5} = 14296

Indicate the effect of each of the following transactions on total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholdersâ equity. Se
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Transaction                       Assets            Liabilities        Stockholders' Equity

Issue common stock           Increase               NE                      Increase

Issue preferred stock         Increase               NE                      Increase  Purchase treasury stock     Decrease             NE                       Decrease

Sale of treasury stock         Increase              NE                        Increase  Declare cash dividend            NE                   Increase                   NE

Pay cash dividend               Decrease            Decrease NE

100% stock dividend              NE                        NE                      NE

2-for-1 stock split                    NE                       NE                         NE

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.

When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.

When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.

100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.

On March 15, a fire destroyed Blossom Company's entire retail inventory. The inventory on hand as of January 1 totaled $5300000.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000

Explanation:

<em>The value of the inventory destroyed is the difference between the the cost of the total goods available for sale and the cost of goods sold</em>

The value of inventory destroyed = cost of goods available for sale - value of inventory sold

Cost of goods sold = 3540,000 - (20%×  3540,000)= 2,832,000

The cost of goods available for dale = opening inventory + purchases + freight charges

$5300000 + $1432000 +  $182000 = 6,914,000

The value of inventory destroyed = 6,914,000 - 2,832,000 = 4082000

The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000
