Answer:

Order size = 200 units

Number of order  = 5 times

Explanation:

<em>The number of order per year  will be equal to the Annual demand divided by the EOQ.</em>

<em>No of orders = Annual Demand / EOQ</em>

Economic order quantity (EOQ)

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

It is computed using he formulae below

EOQ = √(2× Co× D)/Ch

Ch- Carrying cost per unit per annum-  $1

Co- Ordering cost per order -20

EOQ =√(2× 20× 1000)/1

        = 200 units

Order size = 200 units

Number of order = 1000/200 = 5 times

Answer:

Ending Inventory under LIFO $3,270

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Month&Purchase&Sales&Remaining\\January&10&-6&4\\February&20&-5&15\\May&15&-9&6\\September&12&-8&1\\November&10&-13&0\\Total&67&-41&26\\\end{array}\right]

First: in LIFO you always start from the bottom line

subtracting the sales figure for each period.

Notice in nomvember the sales are greater than the amount purchased, so we decrease the september units by the diference

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Month&Units&Cost&Subtotal\\January&4&120&480\\February&15&125&1,875\\May&6&130&780\\September&1&135&135\\November&0&140&0\\Total&26&-&3,270\\\end{array}\right]

1. Acme Company just had a very successful IPO. Initial shares sold at a price far above their realistic value. The “buzz” on th
Korolek [52]
The price of Acme Company's stock will likely RISE.

There is a limited number of stocks available and because the demand for the stock is high and rising, the company needs to increase its price. The increase is price will make it more valuable to potential buyers and it will serve as deterrent to those who can't afford to buy the stock at its high price. 

In short: supply is low, demand is high, resulting to an increase in price.

An investor invests 70% of her wealth in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 15% and a variance of 5%, and she puts
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

c. 12%; 15.7%

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

For expected rate of return:

= (Weightage of risky asset × return of risky asset) + (Weightage of treasury bill × return of treasury bill)

= (0.70 × 0.15) + (0.30 × 0.05)

= 10.5% + 1.5%

= 12%

For standard deviation:

= Weightage of risky asset × (variance ^ half)

= 0.70 × (0.05 ^ 0.5)

= 15.7%

Jumbuck Exploration has a current stock price of $2.00 and is expected to sell for $2.10 in one year's time, immediately after i
fiasKO [112]

The equity cost of capital for the Jumbuck Exploration is 22%

Explanation:

Equity cost refers to the return offered to the customers in place of their investment in the organisation stocks. It is calculated by the formula

Rₐ = (D₁/P₀)+g

Where Rₐ= cost of equity

D₁= dividends announced

P₀=share price (current)

g= growth rate

Now given details-

Dividend announced (D₁)- $ 0.26

Current market price (P₀) - $ 2.00

Expected price= $ 2.10

growth rate= expected price- current price

growth rate (g) =$ 0.10

Putting the values to find Rₐ

Rₐ=(0.26/2.00)+0.10

Rₐ=0.23 or 23%

Nearest answer is 22%

Hence the equity cost of the capital is 22%
