Consider a mutual fund with $219 million in assets at the start of the year and with 12 million shares outstanding. The fund inv

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"What is the Rate of return"</em>

a. Asset at the end of the year = (Asset at the start of the year + Increase in value) * 12b-1 charges

Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million+ ($219 million * 7%)) * (1-0.50%)

Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million + $15.33 million) * 0.9950

Asset at the end of the year = $234.33 million * 0.9950

Asset at the end of the year = $233.16 million

Net asset value at the end of the year = Asset at the end of the year / Number of shares

Net asset value at the end of the year = $233.15835 million / 12 million

Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.430

b. Rate of return = (Net asset value at the end of the year + dividend per share - Net asset value at the start of the year) / Net asset value at the start of the year

Rate of return = ($19.430 + ($6 / 12) - $18.250) / $18.250

Rate of return = ($19.430 + $0.50 - $18.250) / $18.250

Rate of return = $1.68 / $18.250

Rate of return = 9.20%

Effectus [21]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The hedonic property value method determines the extent that environmental or ecosystem factors affect the price of a home. This implies that the method cannot be used to estimate lost, non-use value associated with oil pollution at remote, uninhabited locations, as stated in the question. Since the hedonic property value method is used to estimate the housing prices that reflect the value of local environmental attributes, it is not useful for uninhabited, remote locations and properties.

Bartoletti Fabrication Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basi

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual variable overhead rate = $\frac{Actual variable overhead}{Actual Hours}$ = $\frac{66,170}{6,400} = 10.34$

Therefore variance with the budgeted standard variable overhead

= (Standard Overhead rate - Actual overhead rate) $\times$ Actual Hours

= ($9.70 - $10.34) $\times$ 6,400 = -$4,096

And Fixed Overhead variance = Standard Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed Overhead = $69,000 - $74,000 = -$5,000

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = -$4,096 + -$5,000 = -$9,096

Since the value of variance is negative it means the expense both variable and fixed are over absorbed, which means it is unfavorable.

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Simple random sampling gives each member in the entire population an equal opportunity to be included in the sample. The technique removes bias in the selection procedure. It applies where a small number would adequately represent the entire population.

The procedure described in this case is a deviation of simple random sampling. It is stratified random sampling.

In stratified random sampling, the population is first divided into subgroups based on shared characteristics. The researcher uses simple random sampling to select representatives of each group in the sample population. The techniques ensure each group is fairly represented in the research.

Subdividing vehicles by their make is creating strata or subgroups.
