Answer:
16.15%
Explanation:
Required rate of return is the rat that a investor expect for investment in a specific stock. It also account for the risk associated with that stock.
As per given data
Inflation rate = 4.2%
Real Risk free rate = 2.5%
Risk free rate = 4.2% + 2.5% = 6.7%
Market Risk Premium = 4.5%
Beta = 2.1
To calculate the required rte of return we will use the CAPM formula as below
Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market Risk Premium )
Required rate of return = 6.7% + 2.1 ( 4.5% )
Required rate of return = 16.15%
The income elasticity for most staple foods, such as wheat, is known to be between zero and one. As incomes rise over time, what will happen to the demand for wheat? What will happen to the quantity of wheat purchased by consumers? What will happen to the percentage of their budgets that consumers spend on wheat? All other things equal, are farmers likely to be relatively better off or relatively worse off in periods of rising incomes?
Answer and Explanation:
a. As it is given that the income elasticity of wheat is between zero and one that reflects inelastic and less than unity condition.
So in this, when the income is increased the demand for wheat is also increased but it would be less proportionally
And, the percentage increase in demand for wheat is lower than the increase in income
b. The quantity of wheat purchased is increased as there is an increase in income which increased the demand for all goods
c. The percentage of their budget will go decline as the income elasticity is between zero and one that results into an increase in income and they can switch more expenditure for other goods
d. The farmer condition does not affect overall as if the income increased the demand for other goods is also increased but it is more than the wheat
You want to invite one of the authors of your textbook to come to your school and speak. Name two persuasive points you would include in your letter in order to persuade them to say “yes.”
You are considering buying a piece of industrial equipment to automate a part of your production process. This automation will save labor costs by $35,000 per year over 8 years. The equipment costs $200,000. Should you purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10%?
Answer:
No, you should not purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10% because you would spent more money on the equipment than what you would save in labor costs.
Explanation:
First, you have to calculate the total amount that you would save in 8 years which is the result of multiplying the amount you save per year for the number of years:
$35,000*8=$280,000
Second, you have to calculate the total amount you would have to pay to purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10% using the following formula:
A= P(1+rt)
A= accrued amount
P= principal amount: $200,000
r= rate: 0.1
t= time period: 8
A= 200,000*(1+(0.1*8))
A= 200,000*1.8
A= 360.000
According to this, in 8 years you would save $280,000 in labor costs but you would have to pay $360,000 for the equipment which means that you will pay more for the machine than what you would save in costs. Because of this, you should not purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10%.
Consider a market characterized by a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 5,000. One of the firms in this market has a Lerner index of 0.89 and is considering a horizontal merger with a competing firm. Based on this information, it is likely that the U.S. Department of Justice will:
Answer:
reject the merger
Explanation:
Seeing since the market is highly concentrated and the firm's lerner index is also very high, meaning they have a large measure of market power in that industry then it is safe to assume that the U.S. Department of Justice will most likely reject the merger due to this high concentration and the significant power that the proposing firm already has in the market.
In contrasting equity and efficiency, why do high-tech firms seem to treat their employees better (better wages, benefits, working environments, vacations, etc.) compared to how landscaping or fast-food franchises treat their employees
Answer:
High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand compared to fast food franchises and treat them better to avoid losing them to other companies
Explanation:
High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand. This brings about a better treatment of their employees because if they do not offer these amenities to employees, they would become employees of other high-tech companies. Individuals with low skill levels do not get high salaries or benefits. They are not in as high demand as highly skilled workers. It is efficient, but many would argue that it is not fair.
Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for the first adviser was 1.5, while that of the second was 1.
Required:
a. If the T-bill rate was 6% and the market return during the period was 14%, which adviser would be the superior stock selector.
b. Can you tell which adviser was a better selector of individual stocks (aside from the issue of general movements in the market)?
c. What if the T-bill rate were 3% and the market return 15%?
Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.
Explanation:
For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.
Jenson's Alpha:
= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%
Market return(E(Em) = 14%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)
= 6 + 12
= 18%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%
Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%
Market return(E(Rm) = 15%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)
= 3 + 18
= 21%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%
Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.

How much must be invested now at 9% interest to accumulate to $24,000 in four years?
a) $1,753.b) $1,965.c) $2,652.d) $2,317.
Answer:
$ 17,002.21 (none of the options is correct)
Explanation:
The formula for determining the present value ,which is the actual amount invested to give a future value is given below:
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
The PV is the present value which is unknown
FV is the future worth of the investment which is $24,000
r is the rate of return which is 9% per year
n is the duration of investment which is 4 years
PV=$24,000*(1+9%)^-4
PV=$24,000*(1.09)^-4
PV=$24,000*0.708425211 =$ 17,002.21

TerraLoc competes in the market for global positioning devices and services. The company manufactures its own GPS units, which are smaller than those of any other competitor and include a proprietary battery that lasts 200% longer than any other competitor's battery and that TerraLoc manufacturers on-site. TerraLoc also has developed proprietary software that is much faster and more precise than that of any competitor. When developing the proprietary battery, TerraLoc decided to manufacturer the battery in-house to reduce the possibility that the company it outsourced the battery manufacturing to might reverse engineer the battery and sell a similar product to competitors. This possibility was especially troubling given that the company expected a significant increase in demand due to the improved battery life. Additionally, TerraLoc sells its products and services through its own direct sales force to ensure that its representatives highlight the longer battery life of TerraLoc's units.
TerraLoc's decsion to manufacture the battery in-house is most consistent with which theory(s) of vertical integration?
a. Firm capability-based explanations
b. Alliance-based explanation
c. Opportunism-based explanations
d. Flexibility-based explanations
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: firm capability-based explanations.
Explanation:
To begin with, given the fact that the company decided to manufactured the battery in-house in order to reduce the possibility of helping other competitors when using an outsourced manufacturer then the company is using its firm capability in order to achieve the goal of manufacturing that component of the final product. Therefore that if the company would not have the resources and capability of doing it then it would necessary outsourced the manufactured of it.

Based on the information shown above, what is the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September?
Answer:
what is the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September?
$800
Explanation:
We can seen in the transactions in the question that Whitewater Rentals first obtained $2,000 from rented canoes on account. These $2,000 represent the initial balance of accounts receivable.
Later, credit clients paid $1,200 cash. This reduced accounts receivable by the same amount.
Therefore, the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September is = $2,000 - $1,200 = 800

Neeta Landscaping Company provides lawn care services to a customer and immediately receives $45. Which of the following describes how the company will account for this transaction? Debit Other Operating Expense for $45. Credit Cash for $45. Credit Service Revenue for $45. Retained earnings decreases by $45.
Answer:
The correct option is Credit Service Revenue for $45
Explanation:
The receipt of $45 for the services rendered would be a debit to cash account and a credit to sales service revenue because an increase in cash is naturally a debit entry in cash account while increase in revenue is a credit entry.
Above all,debit of other operating expense is wrong because no cost was incurred instead a revenue was recorded.
Also,crediting cash was also wrong because the $45 was an inflow not an outflow of cash that require a credit entry in cash account.

2. Jill would like to plan for her son’s college education. She would like for her son, who was born today, to attend college for 5 years, beginning at age 18. Tuition is currently $12,000 per year and tuition inflation is 6%. Jill can earn an after-tax rate of return of 8%. How much must Jill save at the end of each year, if she wants to make the last payment at the beginning of her son’s first year of college?
Answer:
$4,531.50
Explanation:
first we must determine the cost of tuition in 18 years (2038):
$12,000 x (1 + 6%)¹⁸ = $34,252 per year
to calculate the total value of college tuition (5 years) in 2038 we can use the annuity due factor (6% and 5 years) 4.4651:
total college tuition = $34,252 x 4.4651 = $152,939
this means that Jill needs to have $152,939 for the moment her son starts college:
we have to calculate the payment:
to calculate the future value of an annuity (since she starts to save at end of the year, it is an ordinary annuity, not annuity due) we use the following formula:
future value = payment x ordinary annuity factor (8% and 17 years)
we know future value ($152,939) and the annuity factor = 33.7502
payment = future value / annuity factor
payment = $152,939 / 33.7502 = $4,531.50
Distribution Corporation collects 40% of a month's sales in the month of sale, 55% in the month following sale, and 5% in the second month following sale. Budgeted sales for the upcoming four months are:April budgeted sales $100,000May budgeted sales $150,000June budgeted sales $230,000July budgeted sales $180,000The amount of cash that will be collected in July is budgeted to beA) $72,000.B) $179, 500.C) $206,000.D) $195, 500.
Answer:
C) $206,000.
Explanation:
The budgeted amount of cash that will be collected in July can be obtained adding the amount due to be collected in July. This can be estimated as follows:
Budgeted cash from May budgeted sales = $150,000 * 5% = $7,500
Budgeted cash from June budgeted sales = $230,000 * 55% = $126,500
Budgeted cash from July budgeted sales = $180,000 * 40% = $72,000
By adding all the above together, we have:
July budgeted cash collection = $7,500 + $126,500 + $72,000 = $206,000
Therefore, the amount of cash that will be collected in July is budgeted to be $206,000.

During the year, TRC Corporation has the following inventory transactions. Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 44 $ 36 $ 1,584 Apr. 7 Purchase 124 38 4,712 Jul. 16 Purchase 194 41 7,954 Oct. 6 Purchase 104 42 4,368 466 $ 18,618 For the entire year, the company sells 413 units of inventory for $54 each. Required: 1. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.
Answer:
TRC Corporation
Calculations, using FIFO:
a) Ending Inventory:
Ending Inventory in units = Units available for sale minus Units sold
Ending Inventory in units = 466 - 413 = 53 units
Ending Inventory value = Units x FIFO cost of last purchase = 53 x $42 = $2,226
b) Cost of goods sold:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
Cost of goods sold = $1,584 + 17,034 - 2,226 = $16,392
c) Sales Revenue:
Sales Revenue = Units sold x Selling price = 414 x $54 = $22,302
d) Gross Profit:
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue minus Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = $22,302 - $16,392 = $5,910
Explanation:
a) Summary of Inventory Transactions:
Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 44 $ 36 $ 1,584
Apr. 7 Purchase 124 38 4,712
Jul. 16 Purchase 194 41 7,954
Oct. 6 Purchase 104 42 4,368
b) Cost of goods available 466 $ 18,618
c) Sales 413 $ 54 $ 22,302
d) Dec. 31 Ending Inventory 53 42 $ 2,226
e) The FIFO (First-in, First-out) inventory method assumes that goods sold are from earlier inventory units, unlike Last-in, First-out (LIFO). This means that beginning and earlier purchased inventory units are sold first before the latest purchases. Using the FIFO method, the ending inventory is valued at the cost of the most recent inventory purchases.
Suppose the market for pizzas is unregulated. That is, pizza prices are free to adjust based on the forces of supply and demand.
If a shortage exists in the pizza market, then the current price must be.............than the equilibrium price. For the market to reach equilibrium, you would expect................
Answer:
Lower
Buyers would offer higher prices
Explanation:
When a shortage occurs when Demand exceeds supply. Excess demand occurs when price is below equilibrium price and as a result suppliers reduce quantity supplied.
As a result of the shortage, buyers would offer higher prices. As a result of the higher prices, the quantity supplied would increase and equilibrium would be restored.

A new American graduate is contemplating buying a
Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he
plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
The Japanese cars will cost $30,000 and have a fuel
usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years and will
decrease by 3% per year thereafter. The repair cost will start at $700
per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the
car can be sold for $5000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the
first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage
of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to
year 8. The repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by
4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of
year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by
2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel
usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years and will decrease by 3% per
year thereafter. The repair cost will be $800 in year 1, increasing by
4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price
the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles
driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance costs will be $800 per
year increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at
the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by
the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to
remain at 5% per year, which car is economically affordable based
on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon
in year 1 and increase by an average of 2% per year. Show all your
workings.
Answer:
The best option is to buy Japanese Car.
Explanation:
Fuel usage per year is 150000/ 8 = 18750 miles per year
Fuel cost (year 1 -8) = $3.0, $3.06, $3.12, $3.18, $3.25, $3.312, $3.38, $3.5
Japanese Car:
Fuel usage 18750 / 23 = 815 * $3 = $2446
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2445, $2494, $2623, $2758. $2900, $3050, $3207, $3372
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $700, $721, $742, $764, $787, $811, $835, $860
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $700, $714, $728, $742, $757, $772, $788, $804
Present value of cost at 5% = 24674.07
Cost of car is $30,000
Total cost = $54674.07
American Car:
Cost $35,000
Fuel usage 18750/20 = 937.5 * $3 per gallon = $2812.5.
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2812, $2913, $2986, $3011. $3098, $3124, $3176, $3208
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $800, $894, $921, $978, $1109, $1176, $1207, $1301
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $800, $827, $876, $898, $908, $932, $954, $934
Present value of cost at 5% = 25302.18
Cost of car is $35,000
Total cost = $60302.
German Car:
Cost = $45,000
Fuel usage 18750 / 21 = 892 * $3 = $2678
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2679, $2732, $2786, $2842. $2899, $2987, $3077, $3171
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $1000, $1040, $1081, $1124, $1169, $1216, $1265, $1316
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $850, $867, $884, $902, $920, $938, $957, $976
Present value of cost at 5% = 27105.73
Cost of car is $45,000
Total cost = $72105.
A company had net income of $216,841. Depreciation expense was $28,774. During the year, accounts receivable and inventory increased by $14,088 and $27,397, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $1,485 and $4,297, respectively. There was also a loss on the sale of equipment of $6,914. How much was the net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows using the indirect method
Answer:
$208,232.00
Explanation:
The net cash provided by operating activities is the net income for the year plus depreciation expense, minus the increase in accounts receivable, inventory and the decrease the accounts payable , plus the decrease in prepaid expenses as well as the loss on disposal of equipment.
Net cash provided by operating activities=$216,841+$28,774-$14,088-$27,397+$1,485-$4,297+$6,914
=$ 208,232.00
The amount of cash provided by operating activities is $208,232.00
The debate on the effects of raising the minimum wage is ongoing. A few years ago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco passed laws to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. Beaudry, Paul, David A. Green, and Ben M. Sand (investigated the possible effects of these laws on the labor market and concluded that "...for workers below $10 per hour in Seattle, the employment rate declines by over 10 percent in response to raising the minimum wage to $15. Meanwhile, for the larger group with wages at or below $15, the decline is approximately 7 percent." The authors' conclusion is consistent with the specific economic theory discussed in the course that
Answer:
The findings are consistent with the specific economic theory about minimum wage that is held by mainstream, neoclassical theories.
According to this theory, a minimum wage is essentially a binding price floor: a minimum price (in this case, the price of labor, which is the wage) set by the government that is above the market rate.
what happens when imposing this binding price floor is that the supply of labor (workers) becomes higher than the demand (the firms that hire the workers), leading to oversupply. In other words, some workers are left unemployed because there is no demand for them at the price set by the government.
The findings are consistent with this economic theory.

"Lizard National Bank purchases a three-year interest rate cap for a fee of 2 percent of notional principal valued at $50 million, with an interest rate ceiling of 11 percent and LIBOR as the index representing the market interest rate. LIBOR is 9 percent, 12 percent, and 13 percent at the end of each of the next three years, respectively. The total payments received (or paid) by Lizard, including the initial fee, are $____."
Answer: $500,000
Explanation:
An Interest Rate Cap is a Derivative Financial Instrument that works by paying the buyer for every year that the interest rate ceiling is exceeded.
Using the scenario above this is how it's works,
There is an Interest Rate Ceiling of 11%.
Any year that index which is this case is the London Interbank Official Rate (LIBOR) exceeds the 11%, the seller will pay the buyer the difference between the LIBOR and the Interest Rate Ceiling.
The Notional Principal is the amount on which the interest is based.
That means that in Year 1 with a LIBOR of 9 percent, the seller does not pay.
Second year LIBOR is 12 percent, the seller will pay 1% (12% - 11%)
Third year LIBOR is 13 percent, the seller will pay 2% (13% - 11%)
Lizard National Bank had to pay 2% of the notional Principal as a fee.
The amount that Lizard Receives from the seller is therefore,
= Total Received - Fees
= (1% + 2% - 2%) * 50,000,000
= 1% * 50,000,000
= $500,000
The total payments received by Lizard, including the initial fee, are $500,000.
