Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.

The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

Suppose that you are considering the development of a residential subdivision. The development will require you to spend $300,000 today to acquire the land. You will also have to spend $750,000 in both years 1 and 2 in order to build the houses. You expect to make $1.5 million in year 3 and $2 million in year 4 from sales of the completed homes. What is the internal rate of return of this project
Answer:
32.52%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000.
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $-750,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $1.5 million
Cash flow in year 4 = $2 million
IRR = 32.52%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:
A should be chosen, because its equivalent annual cost is $252.15 lower than Alternative B's.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Interest rate = 6% per year
Alternative A Alternative B
Initial Cost 2800 6580
Annual Benefit 450 940
Salvage Value 500 1375
Useful Life (yrs) 5 5
Annuity factor = 4.212 for 5 years at 6%.
Present value factor = 0.747 for 5 years at 6%.
Alternative A Alternative B
Present value of
annual benefits $1,895.40 $3,959.28
PV of salvage value 373.50 1,027.12
Total present value
of benefits $2,268.90 $4,986.40
Initial Cost 2,800 6,580
Net present value $531.10 $1,593.60
The equivalent annual cost
= NPV/PV annuity factor
($531.10/4.212) ($1,593.60/4.212)
Equivalent annual cost $126.09 $378.35

An investment has the following characteristics: ATIRRP: After-tax IRR on total investment in the property: 9.0% BTIRRE: Before-tax IRR on equity invested: 17% BTIRRP: Before-tax IRR on total investment in the property: 12% t: Marginal tax rate: 0.40 What would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR), at which the use of leverage is neither favorable nor unfavorable
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR)
Using this formula
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)= After tax IRR on total investment / (1- Tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)=9% / (1-0.40)
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)=9%/0.60
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)= 15%
Therefore would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR), at which the use of leverage is neither favorable nor unfavorable is 15%
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
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%

In late 2020, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2021, 4,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2021 was $1,750,000.)

Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $0.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $0.18 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $0.35 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2021, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2021.
On December 2, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2021, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 76,000 (0.01 Ã 7,600,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2021, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,750,000.)

Miramar Industries manufactures two products, A and B. The manufacturing operation involves three overhead activities - production setup, material handling, and general factory activities. Miramar uses activity-based costing to allocate overhead to products. An activity analysis of the overhead revealed the following estimated costs and activity bases for these activities:
Activity Cost Activity Base
Production Setup $250,000 Number of setups
Material Handling $150,000 Number of parts
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Each productâs total activity in each of the three areas are as follows:
Product A Product B
Number of setups 100 300
Number of parts 40,000 20,000
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000
What is the activity rate for General Overhead?
A. $4.00 per direct labor hour
B. $3.81 per direct labor hour
C. $6.71 per direct labor hour
D. $4.20 per direct labor hour
Answer:
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given the following information:
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000= 21,000
To calculate the activity rate, we need to use the following formula:
Activity rate= estimated costs / total amount of allocation rate
General Overhead= 80,000 / 21,000
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour

Sunland purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2020, for $158,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sunland can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
No amount should be amortized since the license can be renewed indefinitely for successive 5-year terms.
Instead, the license should be tested for impairment annually to determine impairment loss.
Explanation:
An intangible asset that can be used indefinitely is treated like purchased Goodwill. It should never be amortized. Annually, the asset should be tested for impairment. The test is to compare the market value of the license with the book value.

Rainey Company's true cash balance at October 31 is $4,700. The following information is available for the bank reconciliation: Outstanding checks, $740 Deposits in transit, $540 Bank service charges, $110 The bank had collected an account receivable for Rainey Company, $1,200 The bank statement included an NSF check written by one of Ramsey's customers for $720. What was the unadjusted book balance at October 31
Answer: $4330
Explanation:
The unadjusted book balance at October 31 is calculated below:
True cash balance = $4700
Add: Bank service charge = $110
Add: NSF Check = $720
Less: Account receivable = $1200
Unadjusted book balance = $4330
On average, your firm receives 65 checks a day from customers. These checks, on average, are worth $39.90 each and clear the bank in 1.5 days. In addition, your firm disburses 38 checks a day with an average amount of $89.50. These checks clear your bank in 2 days. What is the average amount of the collection float? $2,473.80 $3,401.00 $3,890.25 $5,101.50 $6,802.00
Answer:
$3,890.25
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the average amount of the collection float
Using this formula
Collection float =Average Checks received ×Average checks worth×Bank checks clearing numbers of days
Let plug in the formula
Collection float =65 x $39.90 x 1.5 days
Collection float = $3,890.25
Therefore the average amount of the collection float will be $3,890.25
Suppose a firm produces with a technology that exhibits constant returns to scale at all levels of production. The firm's inputs are workers and laptops. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market. It also hires its inputs (hires workers and rents laptops) in perfectly competitive markets. Assume that in the long run the firm produces y units of output using x1 workers and x2 laptops. If the firm doubles the amount of workers and laptops (using 2x1 and 2x2), we would expect the firm's long-run profits to
Answer:
Not change
Explanation:
In the long run we expect firms to earn zero profits. With competitive markets for both inputs and output, and with constant returns to scale, a doubling of all inputs would lead to twice as much output, twice as much revenue, and twice as much cost.

Rodgers Company gathered the following reconciling information in preparing its May bank reconciliation. Calculate the adjusted cash balance per books on May 31. Cash balance per books, 5/31 $4,022 Deposits in transit 248 Notes receivable and interest collected by bank 746 Bank charge for check printing 28 Outstanding checks 1,754 NSF check 164 a.$4,576 b.$994 c.$3,098 d.$2,516
Answer: a.$4,576
Explanation:
Sometimes the cash balance according to the books is not the same as the cash in the bank account and this is due to some transactions not being recorded by either the bank or the firm.
Adjusted cash balance per books = Unadjusted cash balance + Note receivable and interest collected by bank - Bank charge for check printing - NSF Check
= 4,022 + 746 - 28 - 164
= $4,576
A firm' s sales procedure involves preparing sales invoices based on shipping documents; posting the sales amounts to accounts receivable records; and posting quantities billed to the inventory records. Due to control weaknesses in the procedure, certain goods that are shipped may not be reflected in the sales invoices. The exposure from this risk can result in:
Answer: understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory
Explanation:
Control weakness simply refers to the failure by a company to implement the internal controls. Based on the information given, the exposure from this risk can result in understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory.
There'll be understatement of revenue and receivables since sales is not recorded while the inventory will be overstated.
7. You are considering the possibility of replacing an existing machine that has a book value of $500,000, a remaining depreciable life of five years, and a salvage value of $300,000. The replacement machine will cost $2 million and have a ten-year life. Assuming that you use straight-line depreciation and that neither machine will have any salvage value at the end of the next ten years, how much would you need to save each year to make the change (the tax rate is 40 percent)
Answer:
$221344.48
Explanation:
Book value of existing machine = $500,000
remaining depreciable life = 5 years
salvage value = $300,000
cost of replacement machine = $2 million
depreciable life = 10 years
Tax rate = 40 %
Difference in the cost of new machine and salvage value of existing machine
= 2,000,000 - 300,000 = $1,700,000
Calculate the depreciation tax benefit of new machine = ( 500,000 / 5 ) * 0.4 = $40,000
next calculate the present value of this tax benefit
= $40000,PVAF(1.10,5years)^5 ------- ( 1 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)5 = 3.7907)
Insert value into equation 1 (to calculate the present value of the tax benefit
= 40000*3.79078676 = $1,51,631.47 ( present value of tax benefit )
Determine the Annual depreciation tax advantage of the new machine
= (2,000,000/10)*0.40 = $80,000
Determine present value of this annuity
= $80,000,PVAF(1.10,10years)^10 ------ ( 2 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)^10 ) = 6.144567
Insert value into equation2 ( to calculate the present value of this annuity )
= 80000 * 6.144567 = $491565.36
Therefore the Net cost of the new machine will be
= $491565.36 - $151631.47 - $1,700,000 = $1,360,066
Annual savings on the new machine in 10 years
= 1,360,066 / 6.144567 = $221344.48
Decide whether each of the following is frictional, structural, or cyclical unemployment:
a. The economy gets worse, so General Motors shuts down a factory for four months, laying off workers. cyclical structural frictional
b. General Motors lays off 5,000 workers and replaces them with robots. The workers start looking for jobs outside the auto industry. cyclical structural frictional
c. About 10 workers per month at a General Motors plant quit their jobs because they want to live in another town. They start searching for work in the new town.
Answer and Explanation:
The classification is as follows:
a. Cyclical unemployment
Since the economy got worse and the factory would be shut down for 4 months so this represent that the economy would go into recession
b. Structural unemployment
As General motors would lays off 5,000 workes and wants to subsitute with robots so here there is a mismatch of the skills & characteristics according to the job requirements
c. Frictional unemployment
Frictional unemployment is classify as a short-term unemployment that occurred for matching the workers with the available jobs
Total demand for Oxy is 10,000 units and for Sonic is 6,000 units. Machine time is a scarce resource. During the year, 50,000 machine hours are available. Oxy requires 4 machine hours per unit, while Sonic requires 2.5 machine hours per unit. What is the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
Answer:
$444,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per hour
Oxy sonic
Sales $75 $44
Less: variable cost $40 $21
=Contribution margin per unit 35 23
÷Machine hour per unit 4 2.5
=Contribution margin per hour $8.75 $9.2
Ranking 2 1
Second step is to calculate the Hour required for sonic
Hour required for sonic = 6,000*2.5
Hour required for sonic= 15,000 hours
Third step is to calculate the Hour available for oxy
Hour available for oxy = 50,000-15,000
Hour available for oxy = 35,000 hours
Fourth step is to calculate the Production of Oxy
Production of Oxy = 35,000/4
Production of Oxy= 8,750 units
Now let calculate the Maximum contribution margin
Maximum contribution margin = 8,750*35+ 6000*23
Maximum contribution margin =306,250+,138,000
Maximum contribution margin = $444,250
Therefore the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year is $444,250
a company acquired a truck for 130,000 residual value was estimated to be $20,000 the truck can be driven for 50,000 miles or a useful life of four years. Actual usage of the truck was recorded as 10,000 miles for the first year. What is the amount of depreciation expesne for the first year calculated by the double
Answer:
$65,000
Explanation:
Depreciation Expense = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 %
BVSLDP = $130,000 (FIRST YEAR)
therefore,
Depreciation Expense = 2 x 25 % x $130,000 = $65,000
