Answer: E. All OF THE ABOVE

Explanation:Forcasting is a technical term used especially in Economy management, statistics,and in operations to predict possible outcomes especially as it concerns the future,putting into consideration prevailing circumstances.

The challenges of poor forcasting can be mitigated by all of the approach highlighted. Using the BEST,MOST RECENT INFORMATION, USING SIMPLE TECHNIQUES (this will improve accuracy and avoid complexities), BUILD FLEXIBLE OPERATIONS and MINIMIZE INVENTORY ( this will reduce the stress of handling too many things at a time).

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Compound interest; amortized loans; amortization schedule; largest; decline; smallest; increases.

Explanation:

An important application of compound interest involves amortized loans. Some common types of amortized loans are automobile loans, home mortgage loans, and business loans. Each loan payment consists of interest and repayment of principal. This breakdown is often developed in an amortization schedule. Interest is largest in the first period and declines over the life of the loan, while the principal repayment is smallest in the first period and it increases thereafter.

Amortization in accounting is used to periodically lower the book value of a loan principal or an intangible asset such as intellectual property over a set period of time.

The compound interest formula is given below;

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

g100num [7]

Complete question:

Assume that your uncle holds just one stock, East Coast Bank (ECB), which he thinks has very little risk.  You agree that the stock is relatively safe, but you want to demonstrate that his risk would be even lower if he were more diversified.  You obtain the following returns data for West Coast Bank (WCB).  Both banks have had less variability than most other stocks over the past 5 years.  

                   Year               ECB                WCB  

               2004             40.00%            40.00%

               2005            -10.00%            15.00%

               2006             35.00%            -5.00%

               2007             -5.00%           -10.00%

               2008             15.00%            35.00%

a. What is the expected return and risk of each stock?

b. Measured by the standard deviation of returns, by how much would your uncle's risk have been reduced if he had held a portfolio consisting of 60% in ECB and the remainder in WCB?  In other words, what is the difference between portfolio's standard deviation and weighted average of components' standard deviations? (Hint: check the example on page 11-12 on my note).

Solution:

The estimated return of the stock is the average profit.

So the average of ECB is (40-10+35-5+15)/5

=  \frac{75 percent}{5}

= 15% expected return

WCB expected return = 40+15-5-10+35  

= \frac{75 percent}{5}

= 15%

They've had the same planned return.

This is generally defined in the Greek letter Mu, (U) A weighted average may also be used to calculate portfolio volatility.

Standard deviation of ECB is \sqrt{{ sum [(x-U)^2]/5}}

so for ECB:

(40-15)^2= 25^2 =6.25%

(-10-15)^2= -35^2 = 0.1225

(35-15)^2= 20^2 = 0.04

(-5-15)^2= -20^2 = 0.04

(15-15)^2=0

now 0.0625+0.1225+0.04+0.04+0=0.265

stdev= \sqrt{(0.265/5)} = 0.23

So WCB is the same except in a different order to make things quick I'm only going to add the median again WCB=0.23

Then the 60/40 portfolio will be the "weighted average" of the returns.

portfolio returns

2004: (60%*40%)+(40%*40%) = 40%

2005: (60%*-10%)+(40%*15%) = 0%

2006: (60%*35%)+(40%*-5%) = 19%

2007: (60%*-5%)+(40%*-10%) = -7%

2008:(60%*15%)+(40%*35%) = 23%

we have an average return of (40+19-7+23)/5 = 75/5 =15%  

The estimated return of all combined stocks is a better way to do so.

we knew they both had expected returns of 15% so we can say  

(60%*15%)+(40%*15%)=15%  so the portfolio has an expected return of 15%

Now we do the standard deviation for the whole portfolio and get

(40-15)^2= 25^2 =6.25%

(0-15)^2 = - 25^2 =6.25%

(19-15)^2= 4^2 = 0.16%

(-7-15)^2 = -22^2 = -4.84%

(23-15)^2= 8^2 = 0.64%

now add them up and get 9.78%

\sqrt{(9.78%/5)} = 13.98%

Therefore, the normal portfolio variance is 13.98 per cent and the predicted portfolio return is 15 per cent.

Every stock has a standard deviation of 23 per cent and an average return of 15 per cent, meaning that the fund has the same estimated return but with less standard deviation. This ensures that the same gain is less costly. It's stronger than any of these products.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. payoff matrix.

B. mission statement.

C. tactical plan.

D. organization chart.

The correct answer is B. Mission statement.

Explanation:

A good mission statement is a useful tool for well-managed businesses. It is the "why" of business strategy.

A mission statement defines the objectives of what a company does by:

Your clients

The employees

Their owners

Some of the best mission statements also extend to include the fourth and fifth dimensions: what the company does for its community and for the world.

In terms of marketing, a mission statement is a brief paragraph that describes what your business does and why it exists. If that sounds like useless marketing that could be labeled as a long list of the most important things to do, you're not alone.

The reality is that many mission statements are ineffective. Usually, they are the ones written in minutes with very little thought from their creators.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: A. the 99 principle

Explanation:

This strategy, often called "charm pricing," involves using pricing that ends in "9" and "99."

With charm pricing, the left digit is reduced from a round number by one cent. We come across this technique every time we make purchases but don’t pay attention. For example, your brain processes $3.00 and $2.99 as different values: To your brain $2.99 is $2.00, which is cheaper than $3.00.

How is this technique effective? It all boils down to how a brand converts numerical values. In 2005, Thomas and Morwitz conducted research they called "the left-digit effect in price cognition." They explained that, “Nine-ending prices will be perceived to be smaller than a price one cent higher if the left-most digit changes to a lower level (e.g., $3.00 to $2.99), but not if the left-most digit remains unchanged (e.g., $3.60 to $3.59).”
