Answer:

a) 0.9 & 1

b) Mutual Fund B

Explanation:

For starters, I will define what Sharpe ratio is.....

Sharpe ratio is tagged, the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. It is worthy if note that on the average, a portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers.

You the question, the Sharpe ratios would be calculated as follows:

(Return of portfolio - risk free rate) / standard deviation.

So, for Mutual Fund A:

A = (12% - 3%) / 10%

A = 9% / 10%

A = 0.9

For Mutual Fund B:

B = (10% - 3%) / 7%

B = 7% / 7 %

B = 1

Although the Mutual Fund in A is calculated to have a higher return, the Mutual Fund B is laced with a higher risk-adjusted return.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is  $1,620

Explanation:

First determine the units sold

Units Sold = Total Purchases - Units in hand

                  = 1,410 units - 270 units

                  = 1,140

Note ; Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. This means we calculate the cost at the end of the period.

FIFO

Means First in First Out

Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $9.00 = $2,430

LIFO

Means Last in First Out

Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $6.00 = $1,620

Conclusion

The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is  $1,620

Airida [17]

Answer:

The combined total capital that would be recorded on the partnership books for the two partners is $79,000

Explanation:

Partnership : In partnership, there are two or more members who are called partners which are ready to share the profit or loss percentage according to their agreed ratio

The combined total capital for both partners is shown below:

= Contributed cash + truck fair value + garage fair value

= $8000 + $ 16,000 + $55,000

= $79,000

The other cost like purchase price, depreciation, construction cost is irrelevant for computation. Thus, these cost will not be considered.

Hence, the combined total capital that would be recorded on the partnership books for the two partners is $79,000

Answer:

Break even point in dollar sales = $1,050,000

Explanation:

Break Even Point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost/ Contribution margin percentage

Contribution margin percentage = (Contribution margin/ Sales) X 100

Here we have for the year 2017

Contribution margin = $194,750

Sales = $779,000

Contribution margin percentage = ($194,750/$779,000) X 100 = 25%

Break even point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost $262,500/25%

= $1,050,000
