Consider historical data showing that the average annual rate of return on the S&P 500 portfolio over the past 90 years has

averaged roughly 8% more than the Treasury bill return and that the S&P 500 standard deviation has been about 20% per year. Assume these values are representative of investors’ expectations for future performance and that the current T-bill rate is 5%.
Calculate the utility levels of each portfolio for an investor with A = 2. Assume the utility function is U = E(r) − 0.5 × Aσ2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$56,600

Explanation:

Given that,

Cassandra's Boutique:

2,100 shares outstanding at a market price per share of $26.

Sally's:

3,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $41 a share.

Acquiring Cassandra's boutique for cash = $58,000

Incremental value of the acquisition = $2,000

We can get the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's by adding the incremental value of the acquisition to the market value of the shares of Cassandra's Boutique.

Firstly, we are calculating the market value of Cassandra's Boutique:

= Outstanding shares × Market price per share

= 2,100 × $26

= $54,600

Therefore, the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's is as follows:

= market value of Cassandra's Boutique + Incremental value of the acquisition

= $54,600 + $2,000

= $56,600

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

large capitalization growth stocks

Explanation:

Out of the four possible options, large capitalization growth stocks are the only option that provides potential growth and receives income from dividends.

Money market instruments are extremely safe investments, but they yield a very low return. This type of investment is suitable for investors that wish to preserve their capital.

Mutual funds is not a very specific answer, since it can apply to several types of investments.

Bonds only provide income, but they do not provide growth (fixed coupon rate).

k=   1900

g=3721596

Explanation:

Orlando Company

Manufacturing Cost Data

                                                 Case A          Case B       Case C

Direct materials used                 (a)               $91,200    $69,000

a=149,800 - 42,804-  52,200     54796

Direct labor                               52,200         143,800          (h)

$69,000 +x+0.82h= 216100

1.82h= 216100-69000

h= 147100/1.82= 80,824                                                     80,824

Manufacturing overhead applied 42,804      (d)                   (i)

d=82% of 143,800=117916                                 117916

i=82% of 80824 =  67915.68                                                 67915.68                      

Total manufacturing costs 149,800                 (e)              216,100

e=$91,200+ 143,800+ 117916                              352196

Work in process 1/1/14              (b)                21,300           18,400

b=208,600- 149,800                   58,800

Total cost of work in process 208,600         (f)                   (j)

f=352196+ 21,300                                           373496

j=216,100 + 18,400                                                               234500

Work in process 12/31/14             (c)               11,900            (k)

c=208,600 - 193,500                     15100

k=234500 -232,600                                                            1900

Cost of goods manufactured 193,500           (g)             232,600

g=373496- 11,900                                         3721596

The formulas used are given below.

Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Factory Overheads

Total cost of work in process= Total manufacturing costs+ Opening Work in process

Cost of goods manufactured= Total cost of work in process - Closing Work in process

In each of these if two amounts are known we can find the third one.We can also do rearrange these to find the required amounts.The calculation of each of the missing amount has been done next to it.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

please find the answer below

Explanation:

The University of Chicago

a job costing system involves the process of accumulating information about the costs associated with a specific production or service job service. This information may be required in order to submit the cost information to a customer under a contract where costs are reimbursed.

This involves the accumulation of the costs of materials, labor, and overheads for a specific job.

How to calculate job costing:

Total job cost= direct materials + direct labor + applied overhead

Calculate labor costs:

Determine how much it cost your organization to hire all workers who will work on the project. Multiple the pay per day rate by the number of workers you have estimate to have.

Calculate material costs:

Calculate the cost of all materials that will be used on the job.

Estimate applied overhead:

This is the most difficult to determine, you will need to determine the total overhead costs factoring into the project. This will include your rental expense for the office as well as administrative costs and depreciation of all equipment used.

For product W, a firm has an annual holding cost percentage of 20%, an ordering cost of $110 per order, and annual demand of 15,
Rudiy27

Answer:

812.40 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual holding cost percentage = 20%

Ordering cost = $110 per order

Annual demand = 15,000 units

Units Ordered - Price Per Unit

1-250 - $30.00

251-500 - $28.00

501-750 - $26.00

751 and up - $25.00

Optimal order quantity:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times Annual\ demand\times Cost\ per\ order}{Holding\ cost} }

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 15,000\times 110}{25\times0.2} }

= \sqrt{\frac{3,300,000}{5} }

= 812.40

Therefore, the optimal order quantity is 812.40 units.
