You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Hint: Remember that the market has a Beta=1; also remember that equally invested means that each asset has the same weight- since there are 3 assets, each asset's weight is 1/3 or 0.3333). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

Explanation:

The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio

As the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.

The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.

To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,

1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B

0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B

2.34 = Beta of B

Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

Oriole Company had sales of $392000, variable costs of $192000, and direct fixed costs totaling $97000. The company’s operating assets total $809000, and its required return is 10%. How much is the residual income?

Answers

Answer:

Residual Income = $ 22,100

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

Controllable profit = 392,000 - 192,000- 97,000 = $103,000

Residual income =  103,000 - (10%× 809,000)= 22,100

Residual Income = $ 22,100

1. Roman's labor rate variance for July is ____________

2. Roman's labor efficiency variance for July is _______________

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Roman Mfg.'s July production involved actual direct labor costs of $41,514 for 3,400 direct labor hours. The budget for the July level of production called for 3,500 direct labor hours at $12.20 per hour.

To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3,500 - 3,400)*12.2

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,220 favorable

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Actual rate= 41,514/3,400= $12.21

Direct labor rate variance= (12.20 - 12.21)*3,400

Direct labor rate variance= $34 unfavorable

If a company uses a predetermined rate for absorbing manufacturing overhead, the volume variance is the: Group of answer choices a. Underapplied or overapplied variable cost element of overhead. b. Underapplied or overapplied fixed cost element of overhead. c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items. d. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of variable overhead items.

Answers

Answer: c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items.

Explanation:

If a company uses a Predetermined rate for Manufacturing Overhead this means that they have budgeted a certain cost of overhead that they believe will be sufficient for production. This is usually possible for fixed overhead items.

The Variance therefore would be the difference between this budgeted figure and the actual figure for the fixed Overhead items.

Giving the following information:

A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units for $13.50 per unit.

Unit manufacturing costs:

Variable 12

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.

Effect on income= 10,000*(13.5 - 12)

Effect on income= $15,000 increase

Assume a​ Cobb-Douglas production function of the​ form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.33 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.75. What type of returns to scaleLOADING... does this production function​ exhibit?

Answers

Answer:

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following restated equation:

[tex]q=10L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]

Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs

To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:

[tex]q = 10(cL)^{0.33}(cK)^{0.75}[/tex]

We can now solve as follows;

[tex]q = 10c^{0.33+0.75} L^{0.33}K^{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]q=c^{1.08} L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Sexton Corp. has current liabilities of $510,000, a quick ratio of .93, inventory turnover of 6.9, and a current ratio of 1.5. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.

Explanation:

This can be calculated from the available information using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of Current Assets

To do this, we use the current ratio formula as follows:

Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Substituting the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Current Assets, we have:

1.5 = Current Assets / $510,000

Current Assets = $510,000 * 1.5 = $765,000

Step 2: Calculation of Inventory

To do this, we use the Quick Ratio formula as follows:

Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Substituting the values in the question and from Step 1 into the equation above and solve for Inventory, we have:

0.93 = ($765,000 - Inventory) / $510,000

0.93 * $510,000 = $765,000 - Inventory

$474,300 = $765,000 - Inventory

$474,300 + Inventory = $765,000

Inventory = $765,000 - 474,300 = $290,700

Note that this inventory of $290,700 is the ending inventory.

Step 3: Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold

To do this, we use the Inventory Turnover formula as follows:

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

Note that average Average Inventory is the addition of the beginning and closing inventory divided by 2. But since the beginning inventory is not available, the practice is to use the ending inventory in place of the average inventory. This is what we do here below.

Substituting the values in the question and from Step 2 into the equation above and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:

6.9 = Cost of goods sold / $290,700

Cost of goods sold = 6.9 * $290,7000 = $2,005,830

Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.

An investor is considering the purchase of a residential rental property that has an asking price of $400,000. The property has four rental units that are expected to rent for $1,200 each per month. Operating expenses and vacancy allowances are expected to be 45% of gross income. An 5% interest only mortgage loan is available for 5 years at 100% of the purchase price. How much cash income will the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $973

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

A residential rental property asking price = $400,000

Property expected to rent = $1200

Operating expenses expected = 45%

Interest =5%

Mortgage loan available for =5 years

Purchase price =100%

Now, we find out the cash income the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment

Thus

Rental income (1200*4 units)=$4800

Less: operating expenses (4800*45%)=$2160

The Net income per month=$2640

So,

Less:Monthly mortgage interest payment=$1667 [(400000*5%)

=20000/12=1667]

The Cash income =$973

Therefore the investor will receive $973 each month of the first year.

a. Taxable dividend of $15,000.
b. A taxable dividend of $25,000.
c. A taxable dividend of $45,000.
d. A taxable dividend of $70,000.
e. A basis in the machinery of $55,000

Answers

Answer: Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that ABC Corporation has E & P of $240,000 and distributes land with a fair market value of $70,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to its sole shareholder, Paul. We are further informed that the land is subject to a liability of $55,000.

The taxable dividend will be the difference between the fair market value of land and the liability on the land. This will be:

= $70,000 - $55,000

= $15,000

Therefore, Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.

To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the NPV or Net Present Value of the project. If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.

The formula to calculate the NPV is attached.

NPV = - 1000000 + 250000 / (1 + 0.15)  +  450000 / (1 + 0.15)²  +

650000 / (1 + 0.15)³

NPV =  - $14958.49429

The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative. Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.

Which of the following is a community lifeline

Answers

Answer:

Safety and security

power and fuel

communications and transport

Explanation:

A lifeline allows business and government structures to continue to operate and is beneficial to human health and financial stability. Lifelines are perhaps the most important resources in the community that allow all other facets of society to work when balanced. The interconnected network of resources, services, and securities ( food, water, and shelter, medical care, communications facilities, etc) that provide lifeline services is used on a daily basis to facilitate the community's regularly occurring needs and give all other elements of society to perform efficiently.

Communications are the Community's lifeline. Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. Thus, option C is correct.

The Community Lifelines idea from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a framework for event management that gives emergency managers a reporting system to swiftly stabilize a community after a disaster.

Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. It is a sign that lives are in danger, and daily routines and food chains are disturbed, if any of these Lifelines go down due to a disaster or emergency.

Employees delivered 500 and cost $300 which means the cost per package is;

= 500/300

= $1.67 per package.

The results show that it costs more to deliver with Employees ($1.67) than with the Vans ($1.5). Using more Vans will therefore allow for more packages to be delivered using a fixed budget as the last dollar spent on Vans gave more output than the last dollar spent on Employees.

Answer:

                  Hannah's Pool Service Company

Statement of owner equity for the year ended December 31

               Particulars                                Amount

Capital (January 1)                                              $309,170

Investment during the year       $22,040

Net Income                                 $55,080

Withdrawals during the year     (-$39,010)

Increase in the owner equity                              $38,110

Capital (December 31)                                       $347.280

Workings

a. Increase in the owner equity = Investment during the year + Net income - withdrawal during the year

=$22040+$55080 -$39010

=$38110

b. Capital (December 31) = Capital on January 1 + Increase in owner equity

=$309170 +$38110

A sinking fund is established by a working couple so that they will have $60,000 to pay for part of their daughter's education when she enters college. If they make deposits at the end of each 3-month period for 8 years, and if interest is paid at 10%, compounded quarterly, what size deposits must they make

Answers

Answer:

quarterly deposit= $12,460.99

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

FV= $60,000

Number of periods= 4*8= 32

i= 0.10/4= 0.025

To calculate the quarterly deposit required, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= quarterly deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (60,000*0.025) / [(1.025^32) - 1]

A= 12,460.99

Choose the correct answers :

1. If the demand for product A displays high and postitive cross-price elasticity with respect to the price of product B, then:

a. the demand for product A is likely to have a low price elasticity

b. product A and B are subtitutes

c. products A and B are complements

d. the demand for product B is likely to have a low price elasticity

2. Fast food is believed to be an inferior good. This means that:

a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases

b. the income elasticity of demand for fast food is positive

c. The quantity of fast food consumed will always be high

d. fast food is really not quality food

Answers

Answer:

b. product A and B are subtitutes

a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B.

The cross price elasticity of substitute goods are always positive because if the price of good B increases, the Quanitity demanded of good A rises.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

Complement goods are goods that are used together. E.g. car and gas

Inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income rises.

In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all applicants for promotion in the city's fire department. The test was thrown out when it was discovered that minorities scored poorly and the city feared a disparate impact-based lawsuit. How did the court rule?
A) An employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
B) Even though the test was prepared by a professional testing organization, the city has the right to reject the test results if minorities do not score adequately
C) Deliberately oversampling minorities to seek to create a fair test is irrelevant if the test results show that minorities still scored poorly
D) Ricci, as a member of the white majority, had no grounds to sue when the city was seeking the legitimate aim of nondiscrimination

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.

Explanation:

Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development.  They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.

Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.

A government has the following liabilities at the end of the year: General obligation bonds Compensated absences Salaries payable $1,500,00 120,000 40,000 What amount of liabilities should be reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position

Answers

Answer:

What should be reported is $1660000

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Thus

General obligation bonds=$1,500000

Compensated absences=$120,000

Total liabilities in the governmental activities column=$1660000

Therefore, the amount $1660000 should be reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position.

Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right

Answers

The complete part of the question.

The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations

Answer:

Kate, Manuel and Poornima

Explanation:

Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.

1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.

If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.

2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.

This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.

3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.

If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.

4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.

Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.

5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.

if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.

Typically, the firms' lowest cost source of financing is ____________ as its cost is tax deductible and it also tends to offer the least amount of risk for investors. Group of answer choices Debt Preferred Equity Derivatives Common Equity Equity

Answers

Answer:

Debt

Explanation:

Debt is the lowest cost source of financing because the interest return given to holders of debt has a tax shield (tax deductible) that is provided by the Section 11j  of the Income tax Act.

The other sources of finance give a return in form of dividends. Dividends are are not tax deductible hence they attract a huge cost.

Harry has a Personal Auto Policy (PAP) with liability limits of 100/$300/$50 and medical payments limits of $5,000 insuring his SUV. Harry also has other than collision and collision coverages with deductibles of $250 and $500, respectively. The local taxicab drivers are on strike and Harry decides to capitalize on the situation by transporting persons in his SUV for a fee. While transporting a businessman, Harry loses control of his SUV and hits a parked car. The damages are as follows:
Harry's medical costs - $2,000The businessman's medical costs - $1,000Damage to the parked car - $14,000Damage to Harry's car - $12,000How much, if any, will Harry's PAP insurer pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage?A. $0B. $14,000C. $17,000D. $29,000

Answers

Answer:

A) $0

Explanation:

The personal automobile policy (PAP) is an automobile insurance contract which most people purchase in order to protect their automobile from costs that may arise due to auto accidents.

Under the Part A—Liability Coverage, there are exclusions whereby the insurer won't pay for any damage, and one of the exclusions states that "for that “insured’s” liability arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance, no liability coverage would be provided."

In this case, since Harry used his SUV to transport people for a fee, Harry's PAP insurer won't pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage because he used his SUV for livery conveyance.

Answers

Answer: c. Lower the firm's quick ratio.

d. Lower the firm's current ratio.

Explanation:

Reducing the amount of time that clients have to pay will reduce the amount of Account Receivables as clients will no longer have long outstanding due dates. This reduction in Accounts Receivables will be felt by the Quick and Current ratios.

Quick Ratio formula

= [tex]\frac{Current Assets - Inventory}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]

Current Ratio Formula

= [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilties}[/tex]

As is evident from the formulas, Current Assets are integral to both ratios and as Accounts Receivables is a current asset that will be reduced, the current assets will be reduced and by extension both the Current and Quick Ratios will be reduced as well.

Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)

Answers

Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.

b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.

Explanation:

Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.

Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.  

Clay Earth Company sells ceramic pottery at a wholesale price of $ 5.00 per unit. The variable cost of manufacture is $ 1.25 per unit. The fixed costs are $ 6 comma 700 per month. It sold 4 comma 200 units during this month. Calculate Clay​ Earth's operating income​ (loss) for this month. A. $ 9 comma 050 B. $ 14 comma 300 C. ​($ 6 comma 700​) D. ​($ 9 comma 050​)

Answers

Answer:

A. $ 9 comma 050

Explanation:

The operating income(loss) of a business is the result of the sales less operating costs. The operating cost is made up of the fixed cost and the variable cost.

If the Sales is more than the operating cost, the business makes an income otherwise, a loss.

Sales = $5 * 4200

= $21,000

Operating cost = $1.25 * 4200 + $6,700

= $11,950

Operating income(loss) = $21,000 - $11,950

= $9,050
