You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.87 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in the risky stock

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

46.5%

Explanation:

The treasury bills have zero beta as they have no systematic risk. Beta is used in the Capital asset pricing Model to demonstrate a relationship between systematic risk and rate of return.

Expected Return = Rf + Beta * Rp

The percentage that should be invested in the risky portfolio will be,

1 - 1 / Beta

1 - 1 / 1.87

= 46.5%

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,800 of direct materials and used $3,300 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,300 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,100 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B? Multiple Choice $7,400 $11,700 $4,100 $8,400

Answers

Answer:

$11,700

Explanation:

The computation of the balance in the work in process at the end of the month is shown below:

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost percentage of direct labor cost

= $1,800 + $3,300 + $3,300 × 200%

= $1,800 + $3,300 + $6,600

= $11,700

We simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost so that the ending balance could arrive

Niler Corporation reported the following after-tax information for its current fiscal year: $35,000 income from continuing operations, $8,400 income from operations of discontinued Line C, and $12,500 loss on disposal of Line C.
Starting with income from continuing operations, prepare a partial income statement for Niler for the current year. Ignore earnings per share.

Answer:

d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.

Explanation:

As it is given that

Lydia, who is a citizen of Italy produced scarves and purses in order to sell to the department stores in the united states keeping other things constant.

The net exports is

= Exports - imports

Hence, the correct option is d.

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,000 and 8,000 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,200 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was closest to:________
a. 229586
b. 234600
c. 242006
d. 236854

Answers

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $173,137.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $243,000

Estimated direct-labor hours= 8,000

Actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $30.375 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated overhead= 30.375*5,700= $173,137.5

Barry, a solvent individual but a recovering alcoholic, embezzled $6,000 from his employer. In the same year that he embezzled the funds, his employer discovered the theft. His employer did not fire him and told him he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he would attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and his employer canceled the debt.
A. Barry did not realize any income because his employer made a gift to him.
B. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
C. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income under the tax benefit rule.
D. Barry may exclude the $6,000 from gross income because the debt never existed.
E. None of these.

Answers

Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness

Explanation:

Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.

In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.


Zombie Corp. has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 16.15 percent.
What is this firm's equity multiplier?
What is this firm's debt-equity ratio?

Answers

Answer:

This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239

This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Profit Margin (PM) = 5.10%

That is, Net Profit/Sales = 5.10% = 0.051

Total Assets Turnover (TAT) = 1.95

That is, Sales/Total Assets = 1.95

Return on Equity (ROE) = 16.15%

That is, Net Profit/Total Equity = 16.15% = 0.1615

In order to calculate this firm's equity multiplier we would have to use the following formula:

Equity Multiplier (EM) = Total Assets / Total Equity

=(total assets/sales)*(sales/total equity)

=(total assets/sales)*(sales/net profit)*(net profit/total equity)

=(1/T AT)*(1/PM)*(ROE)

=(1/1.95)*(1/0.051)*(0.1615)

=1.6239

This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239

In order to calculate this this firm's debt-equity ratio we would have to use the following formula:

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity

=(total assets- total equity)/(total equity)

=(total assets/total equity)-(total equity/total equity)

= equity multiplier-1

=1.6239-1

=0.6239

This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239

Answers

Answer:

1. Overhead cost per unit for Model 145 is $515.59, and overhead cost per unit for Model 212 is $265.12.

2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.

3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.

Explanation:

1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.

2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Total cost per unit for Model 145 =  $515.59 + $250 = $765.59

Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12

3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit

Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit

Answers

Answer:

Mark-up =22.64%

Explanation:

Profit = Return on Investment (%) × assets\

Profit = 25% × 700,000 = 175,000

Total variable cost = (4.60+ 1.88+ 1.13+ 4.50 )× 60,000= 726600

Total cost = Total variable cost + total fixed cost

                  =  726600  + 38,700+ 7,500= 772800

Mark-up = profit/cost × 100

              = 175,000/726,600 × 100 = 22.64%

Mark-up =22.64%

Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer

Answers

Answer:

€67,000

Explanation:

The computation o the cost is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies

As we can see that from the table  $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied

That means € 1 = $ 1.5

So,  

$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5

So,

Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar

Now

Worth of exchange  is

= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar

= €67,000

Managers can use CSR and sustainability information as important feedback to guide decision making in a variety of areas. Which of the following areas is least likely to be impacted by this feedback?

a. cost control decisions
b. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
c. strategic and operational areas
d. resource allocation decisions

Answers

Answer:

Option B. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP

Explanation:

Because FASB is an independent body and publishes amendmends in Accounting standards which are internationally accepted so it has nothing to do with the US GAAP. Our decision making impact can be seen on the matters that are dependent on us not on the things we don't have control of or if they independent body. So the least impacted would be FASB compliance with US GAAP.

Whereas the rest of options are controlled by the managers so they can be easily influenced by the decision making power of the managers.

Answers

Answer: WACC remains constant as leverage increases.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

a. WACC first increases, then decreases as leverage increases.

b. WACC remains constant as leverage increases.

c. WACC increases continuously as leverage increases.

d. WACC decreases continually as leverage increases.

In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, the capital structure is not relevant as the way a company finances it operations does not really matter.

For the capital markets, they will be perfectly competitive and there will be no taxes, bankruptcy costs or transactions cost and investors all have the same expectations. The weighted average cost if capital will be thesame even though leverage increases.

Answers

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity

assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000

liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000

both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

And, if it is above $200,000 than 2.35% is charged (1.45% + 0.9%)

Now

For individually calculated,

Melody = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075

Todd = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075

So, the total is

= $4,075 + $4,075

= $8,150

Now if they filling their joint return so

Total salary is $500,000   ($250,000 × 2)

Medicare upto $250,000 = $3,625 ($250,000 × 1.45%)

for remaining $250,000 = $5,875 ($250,000 × 2.35%)

So, the Total is

= $3,625 + $5,875

= $9,500

Now the refund is

= Joint return - individually return for each one

= $9,500 - $8,150

= $1,350

The topic of email is written in _________________.

a) CC Box
b) BCC Box
c) Subject Box
d) None of these

Answers

Answer:

the subject box is where you write your topic of email

Answer:

C. Subject box

Explanation:

The CC box is the carbon copy box. This is where you put other people's emails. They will receive a copy of the email, and they will be able to see who else received the copy.

The BCC box is the blind carbon copy box. This is also where you can put other people's emails. They will receive a copy, but they can't see the others who also got the copy, hence the name blind carbon copy.

The subject box is where you write the subject or topic of the email. This tells the recipients what the email is about, before they begin reading it.

Therefore, the best choice is C: subject box.

On January 1, 2019, Nash Corporation granted 9,600 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of Nash’s $5 par value common stock at a price of $21 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2021, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Nash’s stock was trading at $24 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $438,000.
On May 1, 2021, 7,440 options were exercised when the market price of Culver’s stock was $30 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2023 because executives decided not to exercise their options.

The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these

Answers

Answer: D. All of these

Explanation:

Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.

The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.

Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.

In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)

Answers

Answer:

D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)

Explanation:

The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input

The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other

i.e

Profit = Output - input

In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other

Hence, the correct option is D.

What is the inventory turnover for this company?
1) 2.6 times
2) 4.6 times
3) 5.3 times
4) 0.38 time

Answers

Assume that the full-employment level of output is $5000 billion and the natural unemployment rate is 5%. Suppose the current unemployment rate is 8%. What would be the current level of output according to Okun's law (when the Okun's law coefficient is 2)?

Answers

Answer:

$4700 Billion

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Assume that full-employment level of output is =$5000 billion

Natural employment rate is =5%

Current unemployment rate = 8%

Now,

We find the current level of output according to Okun's law when the Okun's law coefficient is 2 which is given below:

2 (unemployment rate -natural unemployment) = potential GDP - actual GDP/potential GDP *100% this is known as the Okun's law

Thus

2( 8 - 5 ) = 5000 - actual GDP / 5000 * 100

or (6 * 5000 ) / 100 = 5000 - actual GDP = $4700 Billion

or

300 = 5000 - actual GDP

Hence, the actual GDP or current output = 5000 - 300 = 4700 $ billion

Pitchfork, Inc. is preparing its 2020 financial statements. The company's accountant calculated Income from Continuing Operations to be $1,700,000, but upon further review is not certain this number is accurate. Pitchfork has a corporate income tax rate of 30%. Additionally, the company reports only one year of financial data on the face of the financial statements. All amounts listed are pretax unless otherwise noted. After reviewing the following information, determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to Income from Continuing Operations. Once you have determined the CORRECT Income from Continuing Operations, complete the remainder of the Income Statement for reporting EPS.

1. On January 1, 2017, Pitchfork purchased a machine for $180,000 with a salvage value of $20,000 and useful life of eight years which was depreciated using the straight-line method. During 2020, Pitchfork decided to change to double-declining-balance method. The $1,700,000 Income from Continuing Operations had already been calculated using the straight-line depreciation method.

Determine the correct ADJUSTMENT to Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) for Depreciation Expense in 2020.

Adjustment for Depreciation Expense (2020):___________

Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has ICO of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

Adjustment to I.C.O. for Translation Loss from Foreign Currency: __________

Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork Inc has Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

3. During 2020, Pitchfork closed one of its stores for a pre-tax loss of $150,000. This store closure did not qualify as a component of the entity, nor did it create a strategic shift in the operations of the entity. Therefore, it should not be treated as Discontinued Operations. The $150,000 restructuring charges were excluded in determining the $1,700,000 income from continuing operations.

To correct I.C.O., the Adjustment for Restructuring Charges would be $ _________

Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

Answers

Answer:

The answer is Option D. 1.68 times

Explanation:

The formula for equity multiplier is:

Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity

In 2017:

Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590

Total assets = $6,015

Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,

Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times

On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $4,620

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $37,000

Installation= $4,000

Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.

First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.

Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000

Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced

Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000

Annual depreciation= $4,620

your investment has a 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance of losing 7%. what is your expected return on investment

Answers

Answer:

8.9%

Explanation:

From the question above

- The investment has 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return

= 20/100

Number or chances= 0.2

- The investment has a 50% chance of earning 10% rate of return

= 50/100

Number of chances = 0.5

- The investment has 30% chance of losing 7%

= 30/100

Number of chances= 0.3

Therefore, the expected return on investment can be calculated as follows

=0.2(30) + 0.5(10) + 0.3(-7)

=6 + 5 - 2.1

= 11-2.1

= 8.9%

Hence the expected return on investment is 8.9%
