Answer: C. Idiosyncratic Risk

Explanation:

Idiosyncratic risk which is also referred to as UNSYSTEMATIC RISK is the inherent risk involved when a specific asset is invested in.

The risk affects that specific asset and not the rest of the portfolio or the market. Hence it is the OPPOSITE of SYSTEMATIC RISK as Systematic risk affects all companies.

Idiosyncratic risks are more rooted in individual companies (or individual investments). Investors can mitigate idiosyncratic risks by diversifying their investment portfolios.

A Stock being dependant on a keep figure falls under this type of risk as it is unique to a certain company.

Steve Jobs was considered the Visionary behind Apple and so when he was ill and finally died, Apple Stock kept going down but not by too much.

Bless his soul.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Face value= 100

Coupon= 100*0.05= 5

Yield To Maturity= 0.035

Years to maturity= 5 years

Bond Price​= 5*{[1 - (1.035^-5)] / 0.035} + [100/(1.035^5)]

Bond Price​= 22.57 + 84.2

Bond Price​= 106.77

Plainville Corporation has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle?
devlian [24]

Answer:

Inventory cycle  = <u>Inventory </u>               x 365  days

                             Cost of goods sold      

Inventory cycle  = <u>$75,000</u>     x 365 days

                              $360,000  

                           = 76.04 days

Receivable days =  <u>Accounts receivable</u> x  365 days

                                       Sales        

                            = <u>$160,000</u>   x 365 days

                               $600,000  

                            =  97.33 days

Payable days      = <u>Accounts payable</u>  x 365 days

                              Cost of sales      

                            = <u>$25,000 </u>    x 365 days

                               $360,000  

                            = 25.35 days

Cash conversion cycle

= Inventory cycle + Receivable days - Payable days

= 76.04 days + 97.33 days - 25.35 days

=  148.0 days

Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is calculated as raw inventory cycle plus receivable days minus payable days. Inventory cycle is the ratio of inventory to cost of goods sold multiplied by number of days in a year. Receivable days refer to the ratio of accounts receivable to sales multiplied by number of days in a year. Payable day is the ratio of accounts payable to cost of goods sold multiplied by number of days in a year.
