Answer:portfolio Weight of A =0.6118; portfolio Weight of B=0.3882
Explanation:
stock A Investment = Number of shares x market value
=130 x 40 = $5200
stock B investment =Number of shares x market value
110 x 30 = $3,300
Total Investments= $5200 + $3,300 = $8,500
portfolio Weight = stock Investment / Total investment
portfolio Weight of A= 5200/ 8,500 =0.6118
portfolio Weight of B = 3,300 / 8,500 =0.3882
Give three examples of possible age-based conflicts in the workplace
Assets and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant 30 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued?
Answer:
$4,941.96
Explanation:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
ROE = NI/TA
ROE = 9,702/81,000
ROE = 0.1198
The plowback ratio b, is (1 - payout ratio)
b = 1 - 30%
b = 1 - 0.30
b = 0.70
Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/ (1 - (ROE*b)
Sustainable growth rate = 0.1198*(0.70) / (1 - 0.1198*(0.70)0
Sustainable growth rate = 0.0915
Sustainable growth rate = 9.15%
Maximum increase in sales = $54,000 * (0.0915)
Maximum increase in sales = $4,941.96
aron Company has a process costing system. All materials are introduced when conversion costs reach 50 percent. The following information is available for physical units during March
Work in process, March 1 (60% complete as to conversion costs) 150,000Units started in March 600,000Units transferred to Finishing Department in March 630,000Work in process, March 31 (40% complete as to conversion costs) 120,000Compute the equivalent units for materials costs and for conversion costs using FIFO method
Answer:
Equivalent units of production for materials
Opening work in process was complete with respect to materials so not EUP there.
Closing work in process was complete as well.
EUP for materials is:
= Units transferred to Finishing Department - opening WIP
= 630,000 - 150,000
= 480,000 units
Equivalent units of production for conversion
= EUP opening work in process + units transferred to finishing department + EUP closing work in process
= (40% * 150,000) + 480,000 + (40% * 120,000)
= 60,000 + 480,000 + 48,000
= 588,000 units
EUP opening work in process already had 60% of conversion cost incurred in previous period so only 40% will be incurred in present period.

Answer:
the consideration of the option over a period of time

The main differences of a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model and a Black-Scholes model is
--the consideration of any option over the period of time
--it is used for the stocks which pays a dividend without the model modification .
Great Pumpkin Inc., wants to purchase a vending machine for their common room and chooses dimensions of cost, reliability, and flexibility as critical. They evaluate three different vending machine companies and rate their performance on each criterion on a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Which company should Great Pumpkin choose
Question Completion:
Dimension Importance Spike Olaf Andy
Cost 4 1 5 3
Reliability 2 5 2 3
Cost 3 3 3 4
Answer:
Great Pumpkin Inc.
Great Pumpkin should choose Olaf Manufacturing with the highest weighted score of 33.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Dimension Importance Spike Olaf Andy
Cost 4 4 (1*4) 20 (5*4) 12 (3*4)
Reliability 2 10 (5*2) 4 (2*2) 6 (3*2)
Cost 3 9 (3*3) 9 (3*3) 12 (4*3)
Total weighted scores 23 33 30
b) Based on the total weighted scores, Olaf Manufacturing performed best among the three companies. It should be chosen. To obtain the weighted scores for each company, the scale it obtains under each dimension is multiplied by the importance of the dimension. This is done for each dimension and each company before the total weighted scores are obtained and the company with the highest score is adjudged the winner.

The production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services because
Answer:
production of different types will compete for limited resources.
Explanation:
The production possibilities model is also known as the Production–possibility frontier. It is the visual model of efficiency and scarcity. It provides the concept of how the economy can change things by using two goods as an example. It determines the trade offs that is associated with the allocation of the resources between the production of the two goods.
The production possibilities curve or model shows the inverse relationship between the two goods and the services as producing different types of products or services will complete for the limited resources available.
An economy has a very limited economic resource and therefore it can produce more number of one good by making only less of some another good.
Why do you suppose the marketing of the tax shelters at KPMG grew so fast?
a.Transformational leadership
b. Moral manager
c. Social learning theory
d. Moral intensity

Employees at KPMG were encouraged to be team players and so when they saw their fellow workers marketing these products to the wealthy, they too wanted to market it.
