Answer:

A. 7.95%.

Explanation:

Calculate the expected rate of return for the investment as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text { Expected rate of return } &=(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of return })+(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of return })+\\&(\text { Probability } \times \text { Rate of retum }) \\=&(0.40 \times 15 \%)+(0.50 \times 10 \%)+(0.10 \times-3 \%) \\=& 0.06+0.05-0.003 \\=& 0.107

Calculate the standard deviation of the investment as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text { Standard deviation }=&\left\{\begin{array}{l} \text { Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)+ \\\text { (Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)+ \\\text { (Probability } \left.\times(\text { Return }-\text { Expected return })^{2}\right)\end{array}\right.

=\sqrt{\left(0.40 \times(0.15-0.107)^{2}\right)+\left(0.50 \times(0.10-0.107)^{2}\right)+} \\=\sqrt{0.0007396+0.0000245+0.0018769} \\=\sqrt{0.002641} \\=0.05139066063011

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(A) $731,250

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break-even point in sales dollars is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses or Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution ratio)

where,

Contribution ratio = Contribution margin ÷ sales

                             = $208,000 ÷ $650,000

                             = 0.32 or 32%

And, the fixed expense is $234,000

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $234,000 ÷ 32%

= $731,250

7. Problems and Applications Q7 A dozen eggs cost $0.96 in December 2000 and $2.75 in December 2015. The average wage for worker
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

By what percentage did the price of a dozen eggs rise?

  • [($2.75 - $0.96) / $0.96] x 100 = 186.46%

By what percentage did the wage rise?

  • [($21.26 - $14.28) / $14.28] x 100 = 48.88%

In order to earn enough to buy a dozen eggs, a worker had to work <u>4.04</u> minutes in December 2000 and <u>7.76</u> minutes in December 2015.

  • ($0.96 / $14.28) x 60 = 4.04 minutes
  • ($2.75 / $21.26) x 60 = 7.76 minutes

Workers' purchasing power in terms of eggs between 2000 and 2015.

  • purchasing power in terms of eggs in 2000 = 14.875 dozens of eggs per hour
  • purchasing power in terms of eggs in 2015 = 7.76 dozens of eggs per hour
