Answer:
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
W- Probability of the expected outcome, R- expected return under a circumstance
The probability of having a normal economy
Note that the sum of the probability of different outcomes should equal to one. Hence, the probability of economy being normal is
= 100% -(15%+30%)= 55%.
Expected Value of the return
(0.3× 30%) + (0.55× 12%) + (0.15 × -20%) =0.126
=0.126 × 100
= 12.6 %
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%
Oriole Inc manufactures model airplanes and repair kits. The planes account for 75% of the sales mix, and the kits the remainder. The variable cost ratio for the planes is 80% and 65% for the kits. Fixed costs are $114000. Compute the breakeven point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $480,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs are $114000.
Sales mix:
Planes= 0.75
Kits= 0.25
Contribution margin ratio:
Planes= 0.20
Kits= 0.35
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= sales mix*contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75*0.2 + 0.25*0.35
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.2375
Break-even point (dollars)= 114,000/0.2375
Break-even point (dollars)= $480,000
The Nelson Company has $1,750,000 in current assets and $700,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $490,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.9? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
(a) Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
(b) The firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds is 1.34
Explanation:
Current assets = $1,750,000
Current liabilities = $700,000
Initial inventory level = $490,000
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $1,750,000 ÷ $700,000 = 2.5
1.9 = (Current assets + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ (Current liabilities + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 × ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
$1,330,000 + [tex]1.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]
[tex]0.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 - $1,330,000
[tex]\Delta{NP[/tex] = $466,666.67
Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities
= $937,500 ÷ $700,000
= 1.34
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claim Jumper Makeover Total Sales $ 104,000 $ 52,000 $ 156,000 Variable expenses 32,200 6,800 39,000 Contribution margin $ 71,800 $ 45,200 117,000 Fixed expenses 86,850 Net operating income $ 30,150 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
Claim Jumper= $104,000
Makeover= $52,000
Variable cost:
Clain Jumper= $32,200
Makeover= $6,800
First, we need to calculate the participation of the sales for each product:
Claim Jumper= 104,000/156,000= 0.67
Makeover= 52,000/156,000= 0.33
To calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average sales - weighted average variable cost)/ weighted average sales
weighted average sales= (0.67*104,000) + (0.33*52,000)
weighted average sales= 86,840
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.67*32,200) + (0.33*6,800)
weighted average unitary variable cost= 23,818
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (86,840 - 23,818) / 86,840
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors, and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 16%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The alpha for the informed investors is closest to:
Answer:
3.6%
Explanation:
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
So,
Alpha = 3.6%
We simply applied the above formula to determine the alpha
The rate of return is a metric for determining whether an investment has made a profit or loss money over time.
Given Information:-
Beta=1.4Expected return=16%expected return=10%Risk-free rate=4%
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
Alpha = 3.6%

On January 1, 2016, Learned, Inc., issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31 and mature on December 31, 2035.
REQUIRED:
A) Using the present value tables, calculate the proceeds (issue price) of Learned, Inc.’s bonds on January 1, 2016, assuming that the bonds were sold to provide a market rate of return to the investor.
B) Assume instead that the proceeds were $72,400,000. Use the horizontal model (or write the journal entry) to record the payment of semi-annual interest and the related premium amortization on June 30, 2016, assuming that the premium of $2,400,000 is amortized on a straight-line basis.
C) If the premium in PART B were amortized using the compound interest method, would interests expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 be more than, less than, or equal to the interest expense reported using the straightline method of premium amortization? Explain.
D) In reality, the difference between the stated interest rate and the market rate would be substantially less than 2% . The dramatic difference in the problem was designed so that you could use present value tables to answer PART A. What causes the stated rate to be different from the market rate, and why is the difference likely to be much less than depicted in the problem?
Answer:
A) $61,654,600
B) June 30, 2016, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 4,840,000
Dr Premium on bonds payable 60,000
Cr Cash 4,900,000
C) If you use the effective interest rate, the bond premium is higher, so the actual interest expense would be lower:
June 30, 2016, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 4,756,406
Dr Premium on bonds payable 143,594
Cr Cash 4,900,000
D) The actual difference between the coupon rate and the effective interest rate (with a $72,400,000 issue price) = 14% (coupon rate) - 13.93% = 0.07%.
The bond's issue price is generally determined by the market rate, but sometimes a company might believe that the interest rate applicable to them is actually different. A company might under estimate the riskiness of their operations, but the market doesn't. Generally the market rate is correct. So any variation in the coupon rate is due to a mistake by the firm. Usually companies do not make huge mistakes, if they miss on the coupon rate it generally is not significant.
Explanation:
issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31, each coupon = $4,900,000
bonds market price = PV of maturity value + PV of coupons
PV of maturity value = $70,000,000 x 0.04603 = $3,222,100 PV of coupons = $4,900,000 x (8% annuity, 40 periods) = $4,900,000 x 11.925 = $58,432,500total issue price = $61,654,600if instead the issue price was $72,400,000 (resulting in a $2,400,000 premium), then the premium would be amortized by $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000 during each coupon payment
if the effective interest method, (not the compound interest method), was used to amortize bond premium, then we first need to calculate the effective interest rate:
$72,400,000 - $70,000,000 = $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000
$4,900,000 + $60,000 = $4,960,000 / {($72,400,000 + $70,000,000) / 2} = 0.0696629
bond premium discount using effective interest rate = ($72,400,000 x 0.0696629) - $4,900,000 = $5,043,594 - $4,900,000 = $143,594
Consider the market for iced coffee. Suppose that the price of an iced coffee falls from $4.25 to $3.50. Assuming that the point on the graph below corresponds to the initial price of $4.25, move the point to a new position on the curve to show the impact of this price change (holding everything else constant).
Answer:
The fall in the price of iced coffee from $4.25 to $3.50 will cause demand to grow.
Explanation:
This is because the market demand curve for any good is downward sloping: the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
So this fall in price will move the equilibrium quantity (the point where supply and demand meet) to move to a point on the demand curve that is below the previous point.

PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
FV is the future cost in year 4 which is $1,250
r is the growth rate of cost per year which is 5%
n is the duration of time involved,it is 3 because the difference between year 4 and year 1 is 3
PV=$1250*(1+5%)^-3
PV=$1250*(1.05)^-3
PV=$1250*0.863837599
PV=$ 1,079.80
The cost of the hydrogen sulfide monitor in year one is $ 1,079.80
In essence option D,$ 1,079.80 is correct
Paragraph coherence occurs when the ideas in a paragraph are linked and there is a logical flow from one idea to the next. Which of the following are techniques that you can use to help the reader follow your ideas?
A) Place prepositions near the end of the sentence.
B) Show connections with transitional expressions.
C) Avoid repetition of words and phrases.
D) Use pronouns to refer to previous nouns.
E) Use bullets and lists to connect similar ideas.
Answer:
B) Show connections with transitional expressions.
Explanation:
When paragraphs are formed there needs to be a smooth flow so the reader can clearly understand what is being communicated. Paragraph coherence is used to achieve this.
An important method in achieving paragraph coherence is the use of transitions.
Transitions are words or a set of word that connects sentences and ideas together in a paragraph. It makes the relationship between ideas clear and understandable.
Coherence is used to make the ideas expressed flow smoothly and logically.
In a certain economy, when income is $500, consumer spending is $375. The value of the multiplier for this economy is 5. It follows that, when income is $510, consumer spending is:________
a. $166.75
b. $175.00
c. $151.25
d. $170.20
Answer:
The options are wrong, if consumer spending is $375 when income is $500, it has to be higher if income increases (it cannot be lower).
Consumer spending at $510 = $383
Explanation:
the economy's multiplier = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save)
5 = 1 / MPS
MPS = 1 / 5 = 0.2
MPC (marginal propensity to consume) = 1 - MPS = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
consumer spending at $510 = consumer spending at $500 + [$510 - $500) x 0.8] = $375 + ($10 x 0.8) = $375 + $8 = $383
MPC measures how much consumer spending increases if total disposable income increases.
As a manager your organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. You have to recruit and select a manager for a group of employees responsible for several related products. You have just read about Fiedler’s Contingency model and decided to use the LPC score to aid you in selecting a leader for the management group. You have interviewed four candidates for the job (Erin, Josh, Michael, Tabitha) and the scores for each of the candidates were Erin=high LPC, Josh=moderately high LPC, Michael=middle LPC, Tabitha=low LPC. Which of the candidates would you hire?A. ErinB. JoshC. MichaelD. TabithaE. None of these.
Answer:
C. Michael
Explanation:
The least preferred coworker scale is a method used to determine the leadership style of individuals. It was developed by Fred Fiedler and American scholar.
When a person gives positive feedback on coworkers they are more relationship oriented and get a high LPC score.
For those that give negative feedback on coworkers, they are task oriented and will get low LPC scores.
Relationship oriented style is used when employees are experienced and know what to do, while task oriented leadership is needed when the team is less experienced or results need to be delivered in a short time.
The organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. So this requires a mix of both relationship and task oriented leadership to adapt to changing organisational needs.
Michael is the best option with middle LPC score.

Larry Company makes and sells 2 models of dishwashers, Model ABC and Model XYZ. For every 2 Model ABC sold, 3 Model XYZ are sold. The following information is also provided: Model ABC Model XYZ Sales per unit $ 490 $ 730 Variable Cost per unit $250 $300 CM per unit $ 240 $ 430 What is the weighted average contribution margin?
Answer:
$354
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average contribution margin is shown below:
= (Contribution margin per unit for Model ABC × Sales mix for model ABC) + (Contribution margin per unit for Model XYZ × Sales mix for model XYZ) ÷ (Sales mix for model ABC + Sales mix for model XYZ)
= ($240 × 2 models + $430 × 3 models) ÷ (2 models + 3 models)
= ($480 + $1,290) ÷ (5 models)
= $354
We simply applied the above formula
Peterson Corporation wanted to run an ad campaign that featured popular songs sung by the original singer. The aim was to make an emotional connection with people who remembered the songs. When Bette was approached to sing for the commercial, she refused saying she did not "do" commercials. Peterson Corporation still wanted to use the song, so they hired a backup singer for Bette and she was told to "sound as much as possible like the Bette record." The backup singer did the commercial, and people, even close acquaintances of Bette, thought it was her. Bette sued Peterson Corporation for wrongfully appropriating her likeness.
Required:
Is this a valid example of misappropriation. Why or why not.
Answer:
Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.
This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.
To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.
They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.
This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.
Stock A has an expected return of 17.8 percent, and Stock B has an expected return of 9.6 percent. However, the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B. If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio, what would be the portfolio's expected return
Answer:
13.70%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is said to be the weighted average of the returns of the individual components,
Given that:
Stock A has an expected return = 17.8%
Stock B has an expected return = 9.6%
the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B.
If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio;
Then :
The weight of both stocks will be 50% : 50 %
So the portfolio's expected return can be determined as follows:
Expected return for stock A = 50% × 17.8%
Expected return = 0.50 × 17.8%
Expected return = 8.9 %
Expected return for stock B = 50 % × 9.6 %
Expected return for stock B = 0.50 × 9.6%
Expected return for stock B = 4.8%
Expected return of the portfolio = summation of the expected return for both stocks
Expected return of the portfolio = 8.9 % + 4.8%
Expected return of the portfolio = 13.70%

Hurricane Industries had a net income of $141,150 and paid 35 percent of this amount to shareholders in dividends. During the year, the company sold $87,750 in new common stock. What was the company's cash flow to stockholders?
Answer:
$38,347
Explanation:
Calculation for Hurricane Industries cash flow to stockholders
Formula for Cash flow to stockholders:
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Net new equity raised
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Dividends paid =$141,150
Net new equity raised=$87,750
Hence:
Dividends = $141,150 * .35= $49,403
New net equity = $87,750
Cash flow to stockholders = $87,750-$49,403
= $38,347
Therefore the company's cash flow to stockholders will be $38,347
A company reported the following information at December 31, Year 1: Accounts payable $ 4,690 Accounts receivable $ 9,540 Cash $ 25,390 Common Stock $ 91,900 Equipment $ 51,400 Inventory $ 33,100 Notes Payable due December 31, Year 3 $ 2,690 Retained Earnings, December 31, Year 1 $ 14,280 Wages payable $ 5,870 What is the amount of current liabilities on the classified balance sheet?
Answer:
$13,250
Explanation:
Current liabilities can be defined as the amount of money incurred by a company. This debt must be repaid back within a period of one year.
From the question above a company reported the following information on its classified balance sheet at December 31.
Account payable= $4,690
Account receivable= $9,540
Cash= $25,390
Common stock= $91,900
Equipment= $51,400
Inventory= $33,100
Notes payable= $2,690
Retained earnings= $14,280
Wages payable= $5,870
The amount of current liabilities can be calculated by adding up the different debts incurred by the company
Account payable+Notes payable+ wages payable
= $4,690+$2,690+$5,870
= $13,250
Hence the amount of current liabilities recorded on the classified balance sheet is $13,250

The following information is from the records of Pangolin Camera Shop: Bad expense is estimated by the aging-of-receivables method. Management estimates that $2,950 of accounts receivable will be uncollectible. Calculate the amount of net accounts receivable after the adjustment for bad debts. Supporting Materials / Group of answer choices $22,950 $22,050 $21,150 $20,800
Answer:
$22,050
Explanation:
The computation of the net account receivable after the adjustment of bad debt is shown below:
As we know that
Net account receivable = Account receivable - bad debt expense
= $25,000 - $2,950
= $22,050
By deducting the bad debt expense from the account receivable we can get the net account receivable and the same is to be considered

A building is acquired on January 1, at a cost of $960,000 with an estimated useful life of 10 years and salvage value of $86,400. Compute depreciation expense for the first three years using the double-declining-balance method. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Year 1 - $192,000
Year 2 - = $153,600
Year 3 - $122,880
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
Depreciation expense in the first year = 0.2 x $960,000 = $192,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $960,000 - $192,000 = $768,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $768,000 = $153,600
Book value in year 3 = $768,000 - $153,600 = $614,400
Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.2 x $614,400 = $122,880
