You are considering buying a share of stock in a firm that has the following two possible payoffs with the corresponding probability of occurring. The stock has a purchase price of $15.00. You forecast that there is a 40% chance that the stock will sell for $30.00 at the end of one year. The alternative expectation is that there is a 60% chance that the stock will sell for $10.00 at the end of one year. What is the expected percentage one−year return on this stock, and what is the return standard deviation?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Purchase price = $15.00
Forecasted price of $30.00 with probability of 40%:
Now
Rate of Return = (Selling Price - Purchase Price) ÷ Purchase Price
= ($30.00 - $15.00) ÷ $15.00
= 100.00%
And,
Forecasted price of $10.00 with probability of 60%:
Now
Rate of Return = (Selling Price - Purchase Price) ÷ Purchase Price
= ($10.00 - $15.00) ÷ $15.00
= -33.33%
Now
Expected Return = 0.40 × 1.0000 + 0.60 × (-0.3333)
= 0.20 or 20.00%
and,
Variance = 0.40 ×(1.00 - 0.200)^2 + 0.60 × (-0.3333 - 0.200)^2
= 0.426645
Finally
Standard Deviation = (0.426645)^(1 ÷ 2)
= 0.6532 or 65.32%

From the question we are informed Mayree who is the owner of Spines Books, a small eclectic-style bookstore in a bustling college town. Mayree prides herself in selecting hard-to-find books and magazines that her clientele enjoy. Recently, Mayree is experiencing a cash flow shortage, and she is concerned that she may be purchasing too many copies of each title. Having recently completed a business class, I can suggest to Mayree that she calculate the Inventory turnover ratio for her store, and then compare it to other stores in her industry. Inventory turnover can be regarded as rate at which particular company make sales of it's stock of goods and make replacement of its stock of goods during a particular period.
The inventory turnover ratio can be regarded as formula which is cost of goods that is been sold divided by average inventory within the same period.
Mathematically,
inventory turnover=[Net sales/ Average inventory at particular selling price]

The Red Bud Co. pays a constant dividend of $1.20 a share. The company announced today that they will continue to do this for another 3 years after which time they will discontinue paying dividends permanently. What is one share of this stock worth today if the required rate of return is 7 percent
Answer:
the one share of this stock worth today is $3.15
Explanation:
The computation of the one share of this stock worth today is shown below:
= Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years) + Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years) + Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years)
= ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^1) + ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^2) + ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^3)
= $3.15
hence, the one share of this stock worth today is $3.15

Answer:
Direct material price variance= $600 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Standard price= $1.45
Actual price= 18,000/12,000= $1.5
Actual quantity= 12,000
Direct material price variance= (1.45 - 1.5)*12,000
Direct material price variance= $600 unfavorable
Jed Nelson is selling his home on his own but is having problems finding a buyer. Jed is tired of the hassle and would like to offer a commission to any broker that brings him a buyer, but wants to reserve the right to find his own buyer. License holder Chico Rodriguez has a buyer who is eager to move into Jed's community, and the home looks like a perfect fit. What is the name of the agreement Jed can use to allow Chico to show the home to his buyer that would allow Chico to earn a commission if the buyer purchases Jed's home
Answer: open listing
Explanation:
Open listing refers to the contractual agreement where a listing broker acts as the agent of a seller and a commission is agreed to be paid to the listing broker when the property is sold through the listing broker's efforts.
Therefore, the name of the agreement Jed can use to allow Chico to show the home to his buyer that would allow Chico to earn a commission if the buyer purchases Jed's home is the open listing.
how much time does a bike with an acceleration of 2ms2 takes to increase its velocity from 10ms-2 to 30ms-2
Answer:
Time, t = 10 seconds.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s
Final velocity, v = 30 m/s
Acceleration, a = 2 m/s²
To find the time, we would use the first equation of motion;
[tex] v = u + at[/tex]
Where;
v is the final velocity. u is the initial velocity. a is the acceleration. t is the time measured in seconds.Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] t = \frac{v - u}{a}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] t = \frac{30 - 10}{2}[/tex]
[tex] t = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]
Time, t = 10 seconds.

An employee receives an hourly rate of $22.00, with time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 during the week. Payroll data for the first week of the calendar year are as follows: hours worked, 45.00 federal income tax withheld, $146.00; Social security tax rate, 6% on maximum of $100,000; and Medicare tax rate, 1.5% on all earnings; state unemployment compensation tax, 3.4% on the first $7,000; federal unemployment compensation tax, .8% on the first $7,000. What is the net amount to be paid the employee
Answer: $820.63
Explanation:
First find the gross pay of the employee.
Hourly rate of $22. Hours worked = 45 hours. Overtime rates apply for anything over 40 hours so overtime hours are 5 hours.
Normal pay = 22 * 40 = $880
Overtime = 22 * 5 hours overtime * 1.5 time normal pay = $165
Total:
= 880 + 165
= $1,045
Net pay to employee:
= Gross pay - Federal income tax - Social security tax - Medicare tax
= 1,045 - 146 - (6% * 1,045) - (1.5% * 1,045)
= $820.63

The WaterGlove Corporation issues ________ preferred stock that requires the payment of a quarterly dividend of $5.00 per share. The WaterGlove Corporation falls behind with four quarterly payments, i.e., $20.00 per share of preferred stock. The next quarter, the corporation makes a profit of $25.00 per share. The corporation must pay the $20.00 per share of arrearages to the preferred shareholders plus this quarter's payment of $5.00 per share.
Answer: Cumulative
Explanation:
Cumulative preferred shares are a type of share that calls for dividends owed on the share to always be paid to the holder. If the company goes through a period where they are unable to pay the holder, the dividends will accrue until such a time as the company is able to pay.
This is the case here. WaterGlove was unable to pay the dividends in the past year and so now that they are able to, they must pay the dividends that are owed as well as the current one because no dividend will be foregone. They must all be paid.

Answer: D. Before a product or strategy can be recommended, the registered representative must understand and be able protect the client against the product's inherent risks
Explanation:
There are some reviews with regards to FINRA suitability determinations whihc include:
• Reasonable Basis Suitability: This implies that after there has been a review of the returns, risks and costs of a product, the ones that has the best combination should be recommended.
Also, before a product can be recommended to a customer, the customer must be able to meet the financial commitment.

Consider a simple economy that produces two goods: cupcakes and oranges. The following table shows the prices and quantities of the goods over a three-year period.
Use the information from the preceding table to fill in the following table.
Answer:
Nominal GDP
= (Price of cupcakes in year * quantity of cupcakes in year) + (Price of oranges in year * quantity of oranges in year)
2018
= (2 * 125) + (3 * 155)
= $715
2019
= (4 * 135) + ( 3 * 210)
= $1,170
2020
= (2 * 125) + (3 * 165)
= $745
Real GDP using 2018 as base year:
= (Price of cupcakes in 2018 * quantity of cupcakes in year) + (Price of oranges in 2018 * quantity of oranges in year)
2018
= (2 * 125) + (3 * 155)
= $715
2019
= (2 * 135) + (3 * 210)
= $900
2020
= (2 * 125) + (3 * 165)
= $745
GDP Deflator
= Nominal GDP in year / Real GDP in year * 100
2018
= 715/715 * 100
= 100
2019
= 1,170 / 900
= 130
2020
= 745/745 * 100
= 100

Between 2003 and 2005, there was huge growth in the market for premium blue jeans priced at $200 or more per pair. Popular magazines showing celebrities wearing certain brands largely fueled the growth. Then, in the summer of 2005, major department stores started cutting prices on the jeans; they were also found on websites that offer jeans at discount prices. Use the economic concepts that you learned to describe what is happening in this market.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
Huge demand increase inside the Blue Jeans market led to rising costs between 2003 and 2005. The contour of desire went right.
With pricing just above the previous level, the producers are motivated to create more and therefore to increase the demand side and shift its supply curve to the right.
Greater amounts supplied produced a surplus in blue jeans that could only be sold if the prices decreased to attract buyers (the supply side), creating a new balance at a clean cost.
Why would it be a bad thing for workers (especially children) to be doing double the work during their shifts? (Think baout trying to manage two machines at one time)
Answer:
Double work can lead to the body developing a lot of health related problems due to the stress placed on it. These problems are not only bad for the workers themselves but also for the company hiring them.
Some of the health problems that may arise include:
Diabetes Increased risk of heart diseaseHigh blood pressure Depression Sleep deprivation FatigueThese problems can affect both children and adults and so double shifting should be discouraged.
As a result of these health problems, the employer may be affected by:
Absenteeism - Workers will not show up for work in order to recuperate and this will reduce the firm's productivity. Lack of concentration - sleep deprivation can lead to a lack of concentration which can lead to mistakes being made that could be costly to the company. High staff turnover - people will leave the company to avoid the stress of working double shifts and the company would have to keep spending on training new employees who will take time to learn the tricks of the trade thereby costing the company more.An elderly customer has gifted stock from her brokerage account to her four children every year for the last 20 years, with the gift amount set at the annual IRS gift tax exclusion amount. You receive a phone call from the customer's oldest daughter stating that her mother is suffering from advanced dementia and has been moved to a long-term care facility. She instructs you to make the annual stock gift distributions to herself and her siblings. You should: A follow the daughter's instructions because the eldest adult child has automatic power of attorney over a parent's account under common law if the parent becomes mentally incompetent B follow the daughter's instructions only if she can produce a durable power of attorney that was signed by her mother C follow the daughter's instructions because there is an established 20-year pattern of giving stock gifts from the mother's account to her children D not follow the daughter's instructions under any circumstances and only take direction from the mother because the mother is still living
Answer:
The answer is "Choice B"
Explanation:
In this case, choice b is right because only when she can offer a permanent power of attorney authorized from her mother, would she also obey the daughter's instructions. Throughout this situation, we can do nothing which the daughter demands unless this develops a lasting enforcement power that the mother signs.

According to the factor price equalization theorem, if country B is labor abundant, then if country B initiates trade with country A Group of answer choices wages should rise and rents should fall in A. wages should fall and rents should rise in A. wages and rents should fall in A. rents and rents should rise in A.
Answer:
wages should rise and rents should fall in A
Explanation:
The Factor Price Equalisation Theory states that when two countries trade, the price of identical factors of production will tend to be equalised across the countries. Factors of production include wage rate and rent of capital.
So if a country that is labour abundant trades with another country A there will be tendency for exportation of the excess labour of country B to country A.
As a result country A will become more labour intensive and wages of workers will rise since focus is more on use of labour.
However since less capital will now be used the money spent on renting capital will reduce.
