Answer:

D. The two assets have the same coefficient of variation.

Explanation:

the coefficient of variation = standard deviation / mean

  • the coefficient of variation of the stock = 20% / 12% = 1.67
  • the coefficient of variation of the treasury bonds = 15% / 9% = 1.67

As a general, the lower the coefficient of variation, the more exact is the estimated return.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

$6,689

Explanation:

As we know that the inventory should be recorded at cost or net realizable value which ever is lower

Particulars      Item Units      Unit Cost         Net Realizable Value    LCNRV

Minolta              7                    $175                $157                              $157

Canon               11                    142                   176                               $142

Vivitar               14                    130                   111                                $111

Kodak               17                     120                  132                              $120

So, the amount of ending inventory is

= 7 units  × $157 + 11 units × $142 + 14 units × $111 + 17 units × $120

= $1,099 + $1,562 + $1,988 + $2,040

= $6,689
