Explanation:

In the first case, there is need to calculate the expected return                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  of each stock by multiplying the return by probability.

In the second case, we need to obtain the variance. The square root of variance gives the standard deviation. Variance is calculated by deducting the expected return from the actual return, then, raised the         difference by power 2 multiplied by probability.

Last year mike bought 100 shares of Dallas corporation common stock for = $53 per share
he received this year dividends of = $1.45 per share
stock is currently selling for = $60 per share
rate of return = ?
capital yield %= (60 - 53 / 53) x 100 = 0.132  x 100 = 13.2%
dividend yield % = (1.45 / 53) x 100 = 0.0273 x 100 = 2.73%
Total yield or rate of return will be = 13.2 + 2.73 = 15.94 %

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

C. $454,000.

Explanation:

We know that

The ending balance of retained earnings = Opening balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

$375,000 = $0 + net income - $79,000

So, the net income would be

= $375,000 + $79,000

= $454,000

The ending balance of retained earnings - Opening balance of retained earnings is also known as increase in retained earning
