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%.

It costs Bonita Industries $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A f
Serga [27]

Answer:

There will be an increase of $6,200 , If the special order is accepted

Explanation:

For computing the net income effect first we have to find out the net income per scale which is a difference between offer purchase price and variable cost per unit

In mathematically,

Net income = Offer purchase price - variable cost per unit

where,

Offer purchase price is $35

And, the variable cost is $12 per unit plus it incur special shipping charges which is also a part of the variable cost.

So, total variable cost = variable cost per unit + Special shipping charges per scale

=  $12 + $1

= $13

So, Net income is

= $15 - $13

= $2 per unit

Now for producing the 3100 scales, the net income should be multiply with the production unit

= Net income × Production unit

= 3,100 × 2

= $6,200

Fixed cost is fixed whether the production level changes or not. Thus, it is not be considered.

Hence, there will be an increase of $6,200 , If the special order is accepted

A client has been given atropine to cause mydriasis and cycloplegia. What is the expected outcome for this client?
Nady [450]

Answer:

dilation of the pupil and loss of accommodation

Explanation:

Mydriasis is the dilation of the pupil of the eye. The dilation causes vision to be blurry.

Cycloplegia on the other hand is the loss of accommodation of the pupil and it is caused by the paralysis of the cilliary muscle of the eye. This paralysis causes the eyes to lose its ability to focus on things nearby.

Looking at this two conditions from the administration of atropine, the expected outcome of the client is blurry vision and inability to focus or see things close by(farsightedness).

I hope this helps.
