Suppose you are the money manager of a $5.21 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 780,000 (0.50) C 1,260,000 1.25 D 2,850,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 8.65%

Explanation:

First find the weights of the stocks:

Total = 320,000 + 780,000 + 1,260,000 + 2,850,000

= $‭5,210,000‬

Stock A:

= 320,000 / ‭5,210,000‬

= 6.14%

Stock B:

= 780,000 / ‭5,210,000‬

= 14.97%

Stock C:

= 1,260,000 / ‭5,210,000‬

= 24.18%

Stock D:

= 2,850,000 / ‭5,210,000‬

= 54.70%

Then calculate Portfolio Beta.

Portfolio beta = (6.14% * 1.50) + (14.97% * - 0.5) + (24.18% * 1.25) + (54.72% * 0.75)

= 0.7299

Required rate of return using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

= 5% + 0.7299 * (10% - 5%)

= 8.65%

Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?

Answers

Answer:

The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)

Where

FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?

M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740

r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of years = 40 years

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))

FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951

FV = $1,904,087.20

Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds

Answers

Answer:

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due. Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.

Answers

Answer:

The true statements are:

Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time.

When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.

Explanation:

Annuities provide fixed payments for a lifetime or a specified period of time.  With equal payments at the beginning of each period for a fixed period of time, the annuity is regarded as an annuity due.  But with equal payments at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity.  A common example of annuity due is payment for Rent at the beginning of the month or year.  If the Rent is paid at the end of the month or year, it is an ordinary annuity.

Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit

Answers

Answer:

Accounting profit= $70,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit

The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:

Accounting profit= revenue - costs

Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000

Accounting profit= $70,000

Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation: ($ in thousands) 2021 2022 2023 Subscription revenue recognized (earned) $ 350 $ 360 $ 320 Subscription payments received in cash 390 340 360 The difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income is due to subscription revenue for one-year magazine subscriptions being reported for tax purposes in the year received, but reported in the income statement in later years when the performance obligation is satisfied. The income tax rate is 25% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future. Required: 1. What is the balance sheet account that gives rise to a temporary difference in this situation

Answers

Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.

Explanation:

Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.

In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.

The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.

An investor thought that market interest rates were going to decline. He paid $19,000 for a corporate bond with a face value of $20,000. The bond has an interest rate of 10% per year payable annually. If the investor plans to sell the bond immediately after receiving the 4th interest payment, how much will he have to receive in order to make a return of 14% per year? Solve using:

a. tabulated factors
b. the GOAL SEEK tool on a spreadsheet.

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.

As the coupon rate = 10% per year

So,

The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000

19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)

19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)

Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond

B = [tex]\frac{19000 - 5827.4}{0.592}[/tex]

B = 22251

b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.

When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;

Non controlling interest of acquisition date

= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%

Given that;

Book value of land = $125,000

Fair value of land = $75,000

Then,

Non controlling interest of acquisition date

= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%

= $50,000 × 20%

= $10,000

Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost

Variable cost per unit = $10.81

Add:

Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)

Minimum transfer price = $10.81

2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost

Variable cost per unit = $10.81

Add:

Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)

Minimum transfer price = $34.55

N.B

Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
