Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period  

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

Suppose consumers only hold checkable deposits. The demand for money for transactions by consumers is equal to Y*(0.3 - i), wher
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 17.5%

Explanation:

The equilibrium will occur where the money demanded equals to the money supplied i.e Ms = Md

From the question, the supply of currency by the Central Bank = 40

Money Supply (Ms) = m × B

where m = Money multiplier = 2.5

Note that the money multiplier can also be equal to 1/rr in situations wherebt the consumers do not hold any currency.

rr = reserve ratio, = 0.4

B = monetary base = 40

Note that the monetary base here is 40.

Since reserve ratio = 0.4, therefore

m = 1/0.4 = 2.5

Therefore, Ms = m × B

= 2.5 × 40

= 100

Thus Money supply Ms = 100.

Money demand(Md) = Y(0.3 - i),

Y = income = 800

i = interest rate

Since (Md) = Y(0.3 - i),

Md = 800(0.3 - i)

Equate the equation for the money demand and money supply together.

Ms = Md

100 = 800(0.3 - i)

100 = 240 - 800i

800i = 240 - 100

800i = 140

i = 140/800

i= 0.175

= 17.5%

Therefore, the interest rate is 17.5%

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The answer is 3.5

Explanation:

Inventory turnover ratio is:

Cost of goods sold / Total or average inventory

Cost of goods sold is $322,000

Total Inventory in this question comprises work-in- process, finished goods and even raw materials.

So total inventory equals:

Production materials on hand $42,500 Work-in-process inventory $37,000

Finished goods on hand $12,500

Total inventory. $92,000

Therefore, inventory turnover ratio is

$322,000 / $92,000

= 3.5

A revenue manager has a target labor cost of 18% of revenue if the labor cost is $20,000 what Musta revenue be in order for the
Setler79 [48]
Let R stand for Revenue, and L stand for Labor cost... so L = 0.18 x R
To solve for R, divide both sides by .18...
R = L / .18
R = 20,000 / .18
R = $111,111
So Revenue has to be at least $111,111 to achieve the goal.
