Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
Answer:
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 12,600
Varto has two alternatives for these items:
(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each
(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.
The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.
Option 1:
Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800
Option 2:
Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
Hi there! There is no 100% safest option when storing money. It depends on the amount, and specific options. For example : personal safe/ vault in secured and well protected home. Another example would be a bank, with low security. I believe it is circumstantial. I think it is best to have a secured personal house/ building with high security. Hope this helps! : )
