Answer: D) 16.22

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio = Market Value per share / Earnings per share

Earnings Per Share

\frac{Net Income - Preferred Dividend}{Average Common Stock} \\= \frac{104,000 - 30,000}{\frac{32,000 + 48,000}{2} } \\= \frac{74,000}{40,000} \\= 1.85

Price Earnings ratio = Market Value per share / Earnings per share

= 30/1.85

= 16.22

​Lori, who is risk​ averse, has two pieces of​ jewelry, each worth​ $1,000. She plans to send them to her​ sister's firm in Thai
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option E: higher if she sends the jewelry to Thailand in separate boxes because she's risk averse.

Explanation:

On the one hand, if Lori is <em>risk averse</em> then that means that she tends to prefer the less risk that can be in the moment of making a decision without given importance to what she can make of that decision.

On the other hand, the <em>expected utility</em> hypothesis states that Lori will choose the option that will have a greater utility according to the situations.

In conclussion, Lori will choose to send the jewelry to Thailand in separate boxes because she is risk averse and she will prefer to expend more money and lower the risks and by doing that she will have a higher expected utility.

San Francisco Corporation uses two materials in the production of its product. The materials, X and Y, have the following standa
levacccp [35]

Answer:

(1) Material usage variance for X: 1,500 (Favorable)

(2) Material usage variance for Y: -19,500 (Adverse)

Explanation:

Material usage variance for X:

Standard Mix for actual Yield:

= (Standard mix of material X ÷ Yield) × Yield actual mix

= (3,500 ÷ 4,000) × 36,000

=  31,500

Material Usage Variance:

= (Standard Mix for actual Yield- Actual Mix) × Standard unit price

= (31,500-30,000) × $1

= 1,500 (Favorable)

Material usage variance for Y:

Standard Mix for actual Yield:

= (Standard mix of material Y ÷ Yield) × Yield actual mix

= (1,500 ÷ 4,000) × 36,000

=  13,500

Material Usage Variance:

= (Standard Mix for actual Yield- Actual Mix) × Standard unit price

= (13,500 - 20,000) × $3

= -19,500 (Adverse)

Total = (19,500) + 1,500

        = (18,000) [Adverse]
