Answer:

32.03%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;

As we know that

Average return = Total return ÷Total time period

= (32 + 24 - 48 + 12 - 9) ÷ 5

= 2.2%

Now

Return         (Return - Average Return)^2

32                  (32 - 2.2)^2 = 888.04

24                 (24 - 2.2)^2 = 475.24

-48                (- 48 - 2.2)^2  = 2520.04

12                  (12 - 2.2)^2 = 96.04

-9                   (-9 - 2.2)^2 = 125.44

Total =                 4104.8%

Now

Standard deviation is

= [Total (Return - Average Return)^2 ÷ (Time period- 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ (5 - 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ 4]^(1 ÷ 2)

= 32.03%

Jamal purchased a Subway franchise in a great location across the street from an outlet mall. After two years in business, Jamal
Alchen [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not attach the model to answer it we can comment on the following.

The problem is that Jamal, trying to increase profits, decided to sell two different products that are not part of the Subway products. When the franchisor visited Jamal's location, it realized the changes and set an ultimatum to Jamal to respect the franchise agreement.

The cause of the problem is that although Jamal wanted to diversify the products to have more income, this contradicts and is against the franchise agreement he signed when he bought the Subway franchise. The contract clearly states that the owner of the franchise can only sell products authorized in the contract by Subway. That is exactly one of the characteristics of a franchise. That you visit one of them any place in the world, and you are going to find de the same products with the same quality. That is the product guarantee of a franchise like Subway.

So the effects for the company are that its reputation an image can be questioned for selling different products that are hot approved by Subway. It is a major risk the company is not going to allow. Furthermore, it is stated in the contract. So Jamal has no right to break it.

One possible solution is that Jamal respects those 30 days to make the proper corrections, follow the guidelines established in the Subway's manuals, offer a sincere apology, and commit himself to operate the franchise just as it is stated on the agreement.

S_A_V [24]

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE is a term used in the financial Securities market to mean the NET INCOME available to common shareholders.

DILLUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE is a term used in the financial Securities market to describe the outstanding profits available to common shareholders, after all the preferred stocks, warrants,convertible securities have been converted to common stocks.

Preferred stocks are also called hybrid stock, because it has certain features of common stock and convertible securities,it has a higher priority than common stock to payment of dividend etc.

Convertible debt securities are debt securities which can be converted to common stocks.

It basic earnings and diluted earning per share will definitely not be the same for such a firm.
