Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>17.5%</u>

Explanation:

The <em>expected return</em> is the weighted average of the expected returns in each scenario by its respective probability.

The <em>distribution of the holding period returns </em>(HPR) under three different scenarios is:

State of the economy    Scenario #(s)     Probability, p(s)    HPR

HPR Boom                         1                            0.336              28.40%

Normal growth                  2                           0.414                7.90%

Recession                          3                           0.25                18.90%

The calculations are:

        E(HPR) = 0.336\times 28.40\%+0.414\times 7.90\%+0.25\times 18.90\%

        E(HPR)=17.5\%

A company incurred $1,000 in costs to produce 500 units which sell for $1,500. Upon inspection, it was determined the units were
tester [92]

Answer:

rework the units by spending $750 extra in order to get $1,500 in revenue

Explanation:

The company incurred in the following sunk costs:

  • production costs = $2 per unit

Since the 500 units were all defective the company can:

sell the defective units at $1 each = $1 x 500 = $500 revenue

reworking the units for $1.50 each and selling them for $3 ⇒ contribution margin = $3 - $1.50 = $1.50 per unit, which results in a $750 gross profit

The company must consider the $1,000 spent first as sunk costs, since whatever action they decide, they will not recover them. Therefore the company must only analyze the alternatives starting from scratch.

fiasKO [112]

Answer: $1.89

Explanation: As, we know that :-

Basic\:EPS=\frac{net\:income\:for\:common\:shareholders}{no.\:of\:shares}

where,

net income for common shareholders = net income - preferred dividend

                                                                   = $20 - $3 = $17

No.\:of\:shares=10\times \frac{12}{12}-2\times \frac{6}{12}

                                 = 9 shares

so putting the values into equation we get :-

Basic\:EPS=\frac{\$17}{9shares}

                 = $1.89

The Work in Process Inventory account had a beginning balance of $16,200 on April 1. During April, the cost of direct materials
zhenek [66]

Answer:

$28,700

Explanation:

We know that

Ending work in process inventory = Opening work in process inventory + total manufacturing cost - cost of finished goods manufactured

where,

Total manufacturing cost = cost of direct materials used + direct labor cost + overhead  cost

= $408,000 + $56,000 + $72,000

= $536,000

So, the ending work in process inventory would be

= $16,200 + $536,000 - $523,500

= $28,700
