A portfolio consists of three stocks. There are 540 shares of Stock A valued at $24.20 share, 310 shares of Stock B valued at $48.10 a share, and 200 shares of Stock C priced at $26.50 a share. Stocks A, B, and C are expected to return 8.3 percent, 16.4 percent, and 11.7 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on this portfolio
Answer: 12.47%
Explanation:
The value of each stock will be gotten by their unit multiplied by the price.
Value of Stock A = 540 × 24 2 = 13068
Value of stock B = 310 × 48.1 = 14911
Value of stock C = 200 × 26.5 = 5300
Total value of stock = 33279
Weight of stock A = 13068 / 33279 = 0.393
Weight of stock B = 14911 / 33279 = 0.448
Weight of stock C = 5300 / 33279 = 0.159
The expected return on this portfolio will then be:
= (0.393 × 8.3) + (0.448 × 16.4) + (0.159 × 11.7)
= 12.47%
You wish to make a deposit and have these bills: 22 ones, 8 fives, 11 tens, and 3 twenties. You also have 8 nickels, 12 dimes, and 18 quarters. What will you enter on the CURRENCY LINE of the deposit slip?
Explanation:
So to start this out what I would do it turn all the money words into number by multiplying:
22x1=22
8x5=40
11x10=110
3x20=60
For the cents it can be a little bit harder but still that same thing:
8x0.05=0.4
12x0.1=1.2
18x0.25=4.5
Then finally you want to add them all together:
22+40+110+60+0.4+1.2+4.5=238.10
They will put 238.10 on the deposit slip
I hope this helps if you need anymore help just comment❤️

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best
Answer:
The Krisp Kracker Company
The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.
Explanation:
This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.
Suppose stocks offer an expected rate of returns of 10% with a standard deviation of 20%, and gold offers an expected return of 5% with a standard deviation of 25%. (i) If the correlation between gold and stocks is sufficiently low, gold ______ be held as a component in the optimal portfolio. (ii) If the correlation coefficient between gold and stocks is 1.0, then gold ______ be held as a component in the optimal portfolio.
Answer: A) (i) will; (ii) will not
Explanation:
The optimal portfolio should be one where the assets are diversified such that returns can be made regardless of the direction the economy is going. For this to happen, asset classes need to have a low correlation with one another.
If the correlation between gold and stocks is low therefore, gold should and will be held as a component in the portfolio. If the correlation between gold and stocks is 1.0 - this means that they are perfectly correlated and move together - gold should not be in the optimal portfolio as it would be too risky.

discuss the negative impact of the socio-economic issues identified in QUESTION 1.5lack of skill on business.
Answer:
A lack of skill in business may have many negative socio-economic impacts, both at the societal level, and at the individual level.
Explanation:
At the societal level, this lack of business skills may produce a society in which entrepreneurship is low, which causes the private sector have poor dynamic, and economic growth to be sluggish. This can create an array of negative socio-economic issues from unemployment, to poverty, to income inequality.
At the individual level, lack of business skills represents a handicap for individuals who would like to become business owners, but are thus unable to do so effectively. Their business may fail very quickly, leaving individuals in debt, or they may simply not start businesses at all, and be employees all their lives.
Easy-to-copy differentiating features: A. do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage. B. are less expensive to integrate into a product or service offering. C. tend to create as much value for consumers as difficult-to-copy differentiating features. D. should be patented before other companies follow suit. E. lead to vigorous price competition.
Answer:
A. do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage.
Explanation:
Easy-to-copy differentiating features refers to those features of an organization that typically differentiates them from their rivals in the same industry but are however, easy to be copied by another firm. Thus, it cannot produce a sustainable competitive advantage over the competitors of a business firm or company.
This ultimately implies that, easy-to-copy differentiating features do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage because the end users (buyers) wouldn't find any difference between the company's product and the rival company that copied it.

Alfa Co. produces a product that has a variable cost of $3.00 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $30,000. The product is sold for $5.00 per unit and the company desires to earn a target profit of $20,000. What is the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units to be sold and the sales dollars required, we will use the break-even point analysis. The following formulas are required:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (30,000 + 20,000) / (5 - 3)
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 50,000 / (2/5)
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
The amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.
Desired profitContribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio=5-3/5
Contribution margin ratio=2/5
Contribution margin ratio=0.4
Desired profit= (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio
Desired profit=(30,000 + 20,000) / 0.4
Desired profit=50,000/0.5
Desired profit=$125,000
Inconclusion the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.

Exercise 7-2 Accounting for credit card sales LO C1 Levine Company uses the perpetual inventory system. Apr. 8 Sold merchandise for $4,500 (that had cost $3,326) and accepted the customer's Suntrust Bank Card. Suntrust charges a 4% fee. 12 Sold merchandise for $4,600 (that had cost $2,981) and accepted the customer's Continental Card. Continental charges a 2.5% fee. Prepare journal entries to record the above credit card transactions of Levine Company. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
We first calculate the following:
Suntrust Credit Card expenses = $4,500 * 4% = $180
Continental Credit Card expenses = $4,600 * 2.5% = $115
The journal entries will therefore look as follows:

Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a country at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds
Answer:
0.7156 USD/CAD
Explanation:
Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:
S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)
==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period
==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period
==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country
==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.
Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country
I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%
I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%
On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:
S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)
S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996
S(1) = 0.764*0.936635
S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD
If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

(a taxable Florida corporation in which GHJ holds a 52% stock interest) 7,000 AB Inc. (a taxable Canadian corporation in which GHJ holds a 21% stock interest) 10,000 $23,000 a) Compute GHJ Inc.’s dividend-received deduction
Answer:
Total dividends-received deduction = $17,550
Explanation:
These can be computed as follows:
Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend = Dividend received from BP * 50% = $6000 * 50% = $3,000
Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend = Dividend received from MN * 65% = 7,000 * 65% = $4,550
Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = Dividend received from AB * 65% = 10,000 * 100% = $10,000
Total dividends-received deduction = Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend + Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend + Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = $3,000 + $4,550 + $10,000 = $17,550

When considering the results of an Altman Z-Score analysis a score of 3.85 would suggest? A. The company is in financial distress and there is a high probability of bankruptcy in the short term future B. The company is exposed to some risk of bankruptcy C. The company is healthy and there is a low bankruptcy potential in the short-term D. The company is healthy and there is a low bankruptcy potential in both the short and long-term
Answer: C. The company is healthy and there is a low bankruptcy potential in the short-term.
Explanation:
The Altman Z-score can be used in the prediction of bankruptcy. It should be noted that when the Altman Z-score is close to 1.8, it simply means that the company is heading for bankruptcy, and when the z score is closer to 3, it simply means that the company is doing week and is in a solid financial positioning
Since the z score is 3.85, it means that the company is healthy and there is a low bankruptcy potential in the short-term.

= 1.25/0.14725-0.04
= 1.25/0.10725
= $11.65
Hence the stock price is $11.65

Burke Tires just paid a dividend of D0 = $2.25. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% in Year 2, and at a constant rate of 5% in Year 3 and thereafter. The required return on this low-risk stock is 9.00%. What is the best estimate of the stock's current market value? Select the correct answer. a. $79.52 b. $78.00 c. $76.48 d. $77.24 e. $78.76
Answer:
c. $76.48
Explanation:
The value of the stock is the present value of future cash flows
First, calculate each year's dividend
First year dividend = D1 = D0 x ( 1 + first year growth rate ) = $2.25 x ( 1 + 30% ) = $2.925
Second year dividend = D2 = D1 x ( 1 + Second year growth rate ) = $2.925 x ( 1 + 10% ) = $3.2175
Second year dividend = D3 = D2 x ( 1 + Second year growth rate ) = $3.2175 x ( 1 + 5% ) = $3.378375
Now calculate the present value of each year's dividend
Present value of D1 = D1 / ( 1 + required return )^1 = $2.925 / ( 1 + 9.00% )^1 = $2.6834
Present value of D2 = D2 / ( 1 + required return )^2 = $3.2175 / ( 1 + 9.00% )^2 = $2.7081
Present value of D3 = [ D3 / ( Required return - Growth rate ) ] / ( 1 + required return )^2 = [ $3.378375 / ( 9.00% - 5.00% ) ] / ( 1 + 9.00% )^2 = $71.0878
Now take the sum of the present value of all the dividends to calculate the value of stock
Value of Stock = Sum of Present value of all dividend = Present value of D1 + Present value of D2 + Present value of D3 = $2.6834 + $2.7081 + $71.0878
Value of Stock = $76.4793
Value of Stock = $76.48

Answer:
c. Alimony paid per a 2015 divorce agreement is included in the gross income of the recipient of the payments.
Explanation:
Alimony can be defined as a financial support or allowance that is mandated by the court (legal obligation) to be made by a divorced or legally separated person to his or her former spouse so as to maintain and support life.
Simply stated, alimony is a legal spousal support or allowance made by a divorced or legally separated person to his or her former spouse for maintenance.

The general manager of a popular restaurant noticed that the number of customers in the evening had been decreasing. She promptly ordered the chef to revise the evening menu. Later, customer feedback indicated that the problem was not the menu but poor service from the waitstaff. The manager's decision to have the menu revised suggests that she failed to
Answer: Identify and diagnose the problem.
Explanation:
When the manger noticed that the number of customers in the evening had been reducing, the thing that the manager should have done in that case was to identify the problem to know the reason why the number of customers coming has decreased. Identifying and diagnosing the problem will help the manager address the root cause of the problem.
Ordering the chef to revise the evening menu wasn't the right thing to do at that time as that wasn't going to address the cause of the decrease.
Sunland Company can sell all the units it can produce of either Plain or Fancy but not both. Plain has a unit contribution margin of $82 and takes two machine hours to make and Fancy has a unit contribution margin of $99 and takes three machine hours to make. There are 2400 machine hours available to manufacture a product. What should Sunland do
Answer: Plain should be sold as it makes higher Contribution margin.
Explanation:
Contribution Margin of Plain:
= Total hours constraint / Number of hours required for Plain * Contribution margin per unit
= 2,400 / 2 * 82
= $98,400
Contribution Margin of Fancy:
= 2,400 / 3 * 99
= $79,200
Plain makes more profit than Fancy and so should be the one sold.
Commerce Corporation has a high probability of operating at 40,000 activity hours during the upcoming period, and lower probabilities of operating at 30,000 hours and 50,000 hours. The company's flexible budget revealed the following: 30,000 Hours 40,000 Hours 50,000 Hours Variable costs $ 135,000 $ 180,000 $ 225,000 Fixed costs 720,000 720,000 720,000 If Commerce operated at 35,000 hours, its total budgeted cost would be: Multiple Choice $810,000. $997,500. $787,500. $945,000. $877,500.
Answer:
Total cost= $877,500
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 135,000 / 30,000= $4.5
Unitary variable cost= 180,000 / 40,000= $4.5
Unitary variable cost= 225,000 / 50,000= $4.5
Now, the total cost for 35,000 hours:
Total cost= Unitary variable cost*total number of hours + fixed costs
Total cost= 4.5*35,000 + 720,000
Total cost= $877,500

You have researched your dream around-the-world vacation and determined that the total cost of the vacation will be $44,000. You feel you can earn an APR of 10.3 percent compounded monthly and plan to save $560 per month until you reach your goal. How many years will it be until you reach your goal and enjoy your well-deserved vacation
Answer:
It will take about 20 years
Explanation:
Sinking Fund involves saving an series of equal amount periodically invested at certain rate of interest to accumulate a target amount in the future. The target amount might be to finance a particular project - a vacation in this case.
Where an equal deposit is invested the sum accumulated (deposit plus interest earned) at the end of the final period is known as the Future Value (FV) of the sinking fund. The future value in this scenario = $44,000
The FV is determined as follows:
FV = Equal monthly deposit × Monthly Annuity factor
where FV- future value, A- equal cash deposit, r-rate of return, n- number of years.
A= 560, r = 10.3, n= ?
Monthly Annuity factor = 44,000/560 = 78.571
Monthly interest rate = 10.3/12=0.8583
Annuity monthly annuity factor =( (1+r)^n - 1 )/r
(1.008583^12n -1)/0.08583= 78.571
cross multiply
78.571×0.08583= 1.008583^12n -1
6.7437= 1.008583^12n -1
6.7437 + 1 = 1.008583^12n
7.7437= 1.008583^12n
find log of both sides
12n = log 7.7437/log 1.008583
12n = 239.50
n= 239.50/12 = 19.9 years.
Approximately 20 years
It will take about 20 years
