Using these assets, you have a choice of either combining [F−G] or [F−H] in a single portfolio, on an equally-weighted basis.
Required: Calculate the absolute percentage difference in the coefficient of variation (CV) between the stock portfolio [L−M] and the portfolio which outlines the optimal combination of assets.

Solve the problem. Use an annual percentage rate table if necessary. Enrique has a 60-month fixed installment loan, with a monthly payment of $77.86. The amount he borrowed was $3,500.00. Instead of making his 12th payment, Enrique is paying the remaining balance on the loan How much interest will Engrique save. Use the actuarial method .

According to the M&M® website, the average percentage of brown M&M® candies in a package of milk chocolate M&Ms is 14%. (This percentage varies, however, among the different types of packaged M&Ms.) Suppose you randomly select a package of milk chocolate M&Ms that contains 57 candies and determine the proportion of brown candies in the package.
(b) What is the probability that the sample proportion of brown
candies is less than 25%? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(c) What is the probability that the sample proportion exceeds 33%?
(Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d) Within what range would you expect the sample proportion to lie
about 95% of the time? (Round your answers to two decimal
places.)

In 2018-2019 season, Adam had a free throw success percentage of 64.2%. Assume that free throw shots are independent and that he had 8 free throws in a game.
Let X= number of free throws made in the next game.
-X has a binomial distribution, state the value of n and p.
-Find the binomial properties. Create a probability distribution table for X and show this probability distribution below.
(Write the following in terms of x in part A and in part B determine the probabability)
1. -Half are made
a. x=
b. Probabability=
2. Compute the mean and standard deviation for the probability distribution. Interpret the values that you calculate in the context of this problem.

Question 7 (20 minutes) (AR and AFDA)
Gauthier Services uses the percentage of accounts receivable method
for estimating bad debts, and concludes at the end of the fiscal
year that 1.5 % of accounts receivable will become uncollectible.
Sales are $776,500 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and
sales returns and allowances amounted to $20,800. All sales were on
account and the balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010
was $185,000 and the allowance for doubtful accounts, before any
year-end adjustments, had a debit balance of $449.
Instructions
a) Prepare any required adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010
b) Assume now that the percentage of sales method is used instead of the percentage of accounts receivable basis and that ½ of 1 % of net credit sales are estimated as being uncollectible. Also assume that the allowance for doubtful accounts has a debit balance of $650. Prepare any required adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010.
c) Show how net accounts receivable would be reported on the balance sheet after recording the adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010, under the assumption (b) above.
