Answer:

a). Arithmetic average return=12.80%

b). The variance of the company's returns=116.2

c). Standard deviation=10.78

Explanation:

a). The arithmetic average return can be expressed as;

Arithmetic average return=Sum of returns/Number of returns

where;

Sum of returns=8%+(-15%)+19%+31%+21%=64

Number of returns=5

replacing;

Arithmetic average return=64/5=12.80%

b). Variance of the company's returns

Step 1: Write down formula for variance

Variance=∑(Xi-X)²/n-1

where;

Xi=term in data set

X=sample mean

∑=sum

n=sample size

Step 2: write down each data set

X1=8%, X2=-15%, X3=19%, X4=31%, X5=21%

Step 3: Subtract the mean from each data set

Take the absolute value of each data

X1-X=8-12.8=-4.8

X2-X=15-12.8=2.2

X3-X=19-12.8=6.2

X4-X=31-12.8=18.2

X5-X=21-12.8=8.2

Step 4: Square each result and sum

∑(Xi-X)²=4.8²+2.2²+6.2²+18.2²+8.2²=464.8

Step 5: Divide by n-1

n=number of data points=5

n-1=5-1=4

∑(Xi-X)²/n-1=464.8/4=116.2

The variance of the company's returns=116.2

c). Standard deviation=√variance=√116.2

Standard deviation=10.78

Assume the market basket contains 20X, 30Y, and 50Z. The current-year prices for goods X, Y, and Z are $2, $6, and $10, respecti
Aneli [31]

Answer:

CPI for the current year  = 200

Explanation:

Given;

Contents in market basket

20X, 30Y, and 50Z

The current-year prices for goods

X = $2

Y = $6

Z = $10

The base-year prices are

X = $1

Y = $3

Z = $5

Now,

Total cost of market basket in the current year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $2 + 30 × $6 + 50 × $10

= $40 + $180 + $500

= $720

Total cost of market basket in the base year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $1 + 30 × $3 + 50 × $5

= $20 + $90 + $250

= $360

also,

CPI for the current year = \frac{\textup{Cost of market basket at current year prices}}{\textup{Cost of market basket at base year prices}}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = \frac{\$720}{\$360}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = 200

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units

Explanation:

<em>The break-even point (BEP) is the quantity of each product to be sold such that the business makes no profit or loss. </em>

The beak-even point can be determined as follows:  

The Break-even point in sales = Total general fixed cost / Contribution per unit margin

Contribution per unit = Contribution margin ration ×  selling price

                                   = 40%×11.25 =4.5

The break-even point (in unit) =  150,000/ 4.5 =33,333.33

break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units

Total assets of Charter Company equal $700,000 and its equity is $420,000. What is the amount of its liabilities? b. Total asset
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a. Total liabilities = $280,000

b. Total liabilities = $250,000

Total equity -= $250,000

Explanation:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder equity

So in the first case

The amount of the liabilities is

Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equity

                        = $700,000 - $420,000

                        = $280,000

And, in the second case, the total assets is $500,000

And, the liabilities and equity amounts are equal to each other

So in this case, the liabilities is $250,000 and the equity is $250,000
