Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year           Beginning-of-Year Price         Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015                            $130                                            $5

2016                              144                                               5

2017                              120                                               5

2018                              125                                               5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

Costs that can be eliminated in whole or in part if a particular business segment is discontinued are called:
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Avoidable cost

Explanation:

An avoidable cost can be eliminated in a whole. Such a cost can be explained as an expense that would not happen if the specific activity is not done. These costs are relevant costs. A very good example of such a cost is labour cost. If there is a decision to stop a product line for example, all costs that have a relationship with this product line will also be stopped.

A Super Happy Fun Ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and rebounds 13/14 of the distance from which it fell. How many times
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

32

Explanation:

First bounce = 13 / 14 × 10 = 130 /14

using geometric progression where the common ratio = 13/14, the first bound = 130/14

ar^n-1 < 1

substitute the values into the equation

130 /14 × 13/14^(n-1) < 1

(13/14)^n-1 < 1÷ (130/14)

(13/14)^n-1 < 14 / 130

take log of both side

log (13 /14)^n-1 < log ( 14/130)

n-1 log (13 /14) < log  ( 14/130)

since log (13/14) negative

n-1 > (log( 14/130)) ÷ ( log (13/14)

n - 1 > 30.07

n > 30.07 + 1 > 31.07

The 32 bounce will the first less than 1 foot
