Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy)  + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%)  + (2% × 10%)  

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%

In 2022, internal auditors discovered that Axel Corp., had debited an expense account for the $2,090,000 cost of a machine purch
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Debit Depreciation expense $570,000

Credit Accumulated depreciation $570,000

<em>(To record the accumulated depreciation for 3 years)</em>

Explanation:

Using a Straight-line depreciation method, depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

Depreciation expense = $2,090,000 / 11 years = $190,000 yearly

We would assume that the internal auditors detected the error at the beginning of Year 2022, so the accumulated depreciation for 3 years (Jan 2019 - Dec 2021) would be $190,000 x 3 years = $570,000

The following correctional entries will apply:

Debit Fixed asset - Machine $2,090,000

Credit Expense account $2,090,000

<em>(To appropriately record the purchase of machine)</em>

The required adjustment fot the accumulated depreciation is recorded above under the answer section.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

For normal goods, the demand curve is: A. upward sloping only if the income effect is larger than the substitution effect. B. al
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B) always downward sloping.

Explanation:

The demand curve for normal goods is always downward sloping because of a combination of three factors:

  1. the purchasing power of the customers decrease and if the price of a product increases, consumers will be able to buy less even if they don't want to
  2. consumer surplus decreases since the difference between how much a consumer is wiling to pay for the good and its actual price decreases or even becomes negative, so they will not be willing to purchase it
  3. as the price of normal goods increases, consumers will tend to increase the quantity demanded for substitute products
