soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

$237,855

Explanation:

Opening inventory = $157,000

Purchases = $502,900

Sales revenue = $649,300

gross profit = 35% of sales

                   = 35% × $649,300

                   = $227,255

cost of goods sold = $649,300 - $227,255

                               = $422,045

Opening inventory + purchases - cost of goods sold = closing inventory

$157,000 + $502,900 - $422,045 = closing inventory

closing inventory = $237,855

An estimate of Coronado’s April 30 inventory that was destroyed by fire is $237,855

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

  • How much should be invested in each type of investment in order to maximize the​ return?

Invest        Value Invested  

Gov Bonds   $40,000  

Mutual F   $40,000  

Market F   -    

TOTAL     $80,000  

  • What is the maximum return in the first​ year?

Invest       Expected Ret. Portfolio  

Gov Bonds  4,0%

Mutual F  7,0%

Market F  0,0%

TOTAL     11,0%

Explanation:

The investor's policy requires that the total amount invested in mutual and money market funds not exceed the amount invested in government bonds.

As Mutual Funds have the higher returns, it means that it's necessary to invest as much as we can in these financial instruments.

If there is no requirement of invest something in the market funds, then to maximize yield, the best option is to invest 50/50 between Government Bonds and Mutual Funds.
