Answer: $118,304
Explanation:
Given the following:
End of year cashflow of portfolio is either :
$70000 or $195,000
Probability of either equals = 0.5
With a riskless investment in T-bills of 4% and a risk premium of 8%, then the expected rate of return = 12%
Therefore ;
Amount of portfolio × (1 + expected rate of return) = expected cashflow.
Expected cash flow = probability × end of year cashflow
Expected cashflow = (0.5 × 70000) + (0.5 × 195000)
= 35000 + 97500 = $132500
Therefore ;
Amount of portfolio × (1 + 0.12) = 132500
Amount of portfolio × 1.12 = 132500
Amount of portfolio = 132500/1.12
Amount of portfolio = $118,303. 57
=118,304

Eve's Apples opened for business on January 1, 2012, and paid for two insurance policies effective that date. The liability policy was $36,000 for eighteen-months, and the crop damage policy was $12,000 for a two-year term. What was the balance in Eve's Prepaid Insurance account as of December 31, 2012
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Since the two insurance polices are for 18 months and 2 years respectively, at $36,000 and $12,000 each, we can deduce that by the 31st of December, 2012 a year each has been off the policies.
By that, we can simply deduce that for the $36,000 liability policy, its monthly rate is $2,000 ($36,000 ÷ 18). Same can be said for the crop damage plan at $12,000 for 2 years. If a year is off the plan, the 2nd year is worth $6,000 ($12,000 ÷ 2).
Therefore, from the liability policy, we have $12,000 left for the 6 months left on the plan while we have $6,000 on the crop damage plan for the next year 2013.
Adding both remainders gives $12,000 + $6,000 = $18,000

Thirty-five members of the Ortiz extended family were spread across three states—Illinois, New York and Florida—and they rarely were able to get everyone together. For Thanksgiving 2018, Mary Elizabeth Ortiz decided to surprise her family by booking a mountain retreat for the entire clan. She especially wanted to celebrate her uncle's return from overseas military service. On September 15, 2018, Mary rented a spectacular lodge in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains with over 20 bedrooms and an incredible view, paying in advance the full $2,500 per night fee for 3 evenings, but not purchasing travel insurance. The lodge had the following cancellation policy: "A sixty (60) day notice is required for cancellation. Cancellations that are made within 60 days of the arrival date, for any reason, forfeit the full advance payment and reservation deposit. You are advised to purchase travel insurance separately if cancellation costs are a concern." The rental contract also stated that the only exception would be for "acts of God, such as fires or earthquakes." One week before Thanksgiving, Mary's uncle had a heart attack and was hospitalized. The next day, November 16, 2018, Mary cancelled the reservation, and requested a full refund, which the lodge refused to provide. Does Mary have a claim for the return of her $7,500?
A company offering tax refund anticipation loans is trying to draw new customers. The company guarantees that the annual percentage rate on its loans is 39%. What fees would the company charge on a $1,200 loan if the term of the loan is 18 days? (Round to the nearest dollar).
Answer:
$23
Explanation:
If the annual percentage rate is 39%, the rate on 18 days can be calculated as shown below.
(1 year) 365days = 39%
18 days = ?
let the unknown rate be represented by X
X = (18 x 39) ÷ 365
X = 1.92%
If the principal is $1,200, then the rate charged after 18 days is;
(1.92 ÷ 100) x $1,200
0.0192 x $1,200
= $23.07≈ $23 (to the nearest dollar)
Cheers.
The correct answer is option B) $23. I just did the exam and got it right!

Therefore option IV) Increasing forecast accuracy and
(VI) Optimizing on setup costs with long production runs are not lean system principles.

(10 marks) 1. Looking at Nigeria as a potential emerging market, mention and explain 4 factors you think are preventing Nigeria from becoming an excellent emerging market to invest in? 2. If you were given the chance, resources and power to change Nigeria, which one out of the 4 problems identified above would you try to solve and how would you do it?
Answer:
1. Political instability
2. High cost of taxation
3. Insecurity
4. Changes in law and policy
Explanation:
1A. Political instability. The uncertainty regarding political decisions is one of the major threat to foreign investment in Nigeria. Where there are daily crises in terms of political events, such will scare away potential investors. Moreover, if government changes regulations guiding businesses or do not enforce such changes, it may cut down the returns that should ordinary be made by the investors hence discourage them from making further investment.
1B. High cost of taxation. Emerging economies such as Nigeria imposes too many taxes on local and foreign investors who have their companies situated there. For instance, the federal government through Federal lnland Revenue services is saddled with the responsibility of collecting various types of taxes such as company income tax, withholding taxes etc. Moreover, state governments also levy taxes on these companies for situating and carrying out business transactions in their state.
1C. Insecurity. The prevalence insecurity in the North East discourages investors from investing in Nigeria. The country has to grapple with the daily threat posed by these terrorist. Again, the activities of these terrorist group including the dreaded bandits and local militants have claimed and destroyed lots of lives and properties over the years. Due to their constant and continuous activities, Nigeria has been included among terrorist nations hence scares investors away from coming to invest in the country because no one would want his or her investments to be destroyed.
1D. Changes in law and policy. Emerging countries such as Nigeria is used to changing laws regulating businesses constantly. Most of these changes come through variation of existing contracts such as using executive powers(circulars, administrative orders,directives etc). The continuous changes in law and policy is capable of discouraging investors from investing in the country.
2. If I have the resources to change any of the above, I would change political instability. The reason is that a country that is not stable politically cannot attract foreign investment. I would try as much possible to bring together all the political players in the country by asking them to ignore their political differences hence work towards common good of the country.

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $290,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $83,653 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000. A machine costs $210,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last eleven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $46,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
Project A's payback period = 2.23 years
Project B's payback period = 3.3 years
Explanation:
project A project B
initial investment $290,000 $210,000
useful life 6 years 11 years
yearly cash flow $83,653 + $46,500 $46,000 + $17,727
= $130,153 = $63,727
salvage value $11,000 $15,000
payback period $290,000 / $130,153 $210,000 / $63,727
= 2.23 years = 3.3 years

A bond has a par value of $10,000 and currently has a price of $9,500. The bond pays a rate of 5% over 5 years. Calculate the current yield. The same bond started the year with a price of $9,500 and is expected to be sold for $9,750. What is the Capital Gains Yield
Answer:
The current yield is 5.2% and capital gain is 2.63%.
Explanation:
The par value of bond = $10000
Current price = $9500
Annual coupan payment = 5%
Annual coupan payment = 10000 × 5% = $500
Now calculate the current yield.
The current yield = annual coupon payment / current price
The current yield = 500 / 9500 = 0.052 or 5.2%
Now calculate the capital gain. In the question, it says that it starts at $9500 so its original price is 9500.
Capital gain yield = (9750 – 9500) / 9500 = 0.0263 or 2.63%
