You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
Dixie Chicken is about to close one of its fast food franchises. As part of the closing, the firm will sell a refrigeration unit and its cooking units. The book value of the refrigeration unit is currently $18,203.00, while the book value of the cooking unit is $3,713.00. A buyer has offered $12,454.00 for the refrigerator and $6,116.00 for the cooking unit. The tax rate facing the firm is 35.00%. What is the cash flow from selling these assets
Answer:
$19741.10
Explanation:
Cash flow from the sale = salvage value - tax(salvage value - book value)
Salvage value is the price at which the asset is sold
The refrigerator : $12,454.00 -0.35($12,454.00 - $18,203.00) = $14,466.15
$6,116.00 - 0.35($6,116.00 - $3,713.00) = $5274.95
Total cash flow = $5274.95 + $14,466.15 = $19741.10
Axil Corp. has not tapped the Deutsche mark public debt market because of concern about a likely appreciation of that currency and only wishes to be a floating-rate dollar borrower, which it can be at LIBOR + 1%. Bevel Corp. strongly prefers fixed-rate DM debt, but it must pay 1.5% more than the 6.25% coupon that Axil's DM notes would carry. Bevel, however, can obtain Eurodollars at LIBOR + 1/2%. Show work and explain.
1. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Axil from engaging in acurrency swap with Bevel?
2. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel from engaging in acurrency swap with Axil?
Answer:
2%2%Explanation:
First step : determine total cost experienced in both cases
Total cost experienced by both firms without swap
= Axil floating dollar cost + Bevel fixed DM cost
= Libor + 1% + 7.75% = Libor + 8.75%
Total cost of funds by both firms when they are involved in a swap
= Bevel Floating dollar cost + Axil fixed Dm cost
= Libor + 0.5% + 6.25%
= Libor + 6.75%
1) the maximum possible cost savings to Axil Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%
2) the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%

Coronado Industries began the year with 12 units of marine floats at a cost of $11 each. During the year, it made the following purchases: May 5, 27 unit at $15; July 16, 20 units at $20; and December 7, 25 units at $23. Assume there are 30 units on hand at the end of the period. Coronado uses the periodic approach.
Required:
a. Determine the cost of goods sold under FIFO.
b. Determine cost of goods sold under LIFO.
c. Calculate the average unit cost.
d. Determine the cost of goods sold under the average cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
For computing each part, first we have to determine the sale units i.e
= (Opening units + purchased units) - closing units
= (12 units + 27 unit + 20 units + 25 units) - 30 units
= 54 units
a. The cost of goods sold under FIFO is
Since 54 units are sold and in this starting units would be considered
So 12 units would be taken at $11 each, 27 units would be taken at $15, and the remaining units i.e. 15 units would be taken at $20
So,
= 12 units × $11 + 27 units × $15 + 15 units × $20
= $132 + $405 + $300
= $837
b. The cost of goods sold under LIFO is
Since 54 units are sold and in this ending units would be considered
So 25 units would be taken at $23 each, 20 units would be taken at $20, and the remaining units i.e. 9 units would be taken at $15
So,
= 25 units × $23 + 20 units × $20 + 9 units × $15
= $575 + $400 + $135
= $1,110
c. The average unit cost is
= (12 units × $11) + (27 units × $15) + (20 units × $20) + (25 units × $23) ÷ (12 units + 27 units + 20 units + 25 units)
= ($132 + $405 + $400 + $575) ÷ (84 units)
= $18 per unit
d. The cost of goods sold under the average cost is
= $18 per unit × 54 units
= $972

Q4) The price of a luxury car increased from 42.000 euros to 44.000 euros. Then the demand for
this car declined from 100 units to 20 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the car.
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Old price of car = 42.000 euros
New price of car = 44.000 euros
Quantity of car old = 100 units
Quantity of car new = 20 units
Find:
Price elasticity of car
Computation:
Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity)/(Percentage change in price)
Price elasticity of demand = [{(Q2-Q1)100}/{(Q1+Q2)/2}] / [{(P2-P1)100}/{(P1+P2)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{(20-100)100}/{(20+100)/2}] / [{(44000-42000)100}/{(44000+42000)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{-8000}/{60}] / [{200000}/{(43000}]
Price elasticity of demand = 133.33 / 4.65
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.
Answer:
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
Explanation:
If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.

B. 300 favorable
C. 62.50 unfavorable
D. 0
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine June’s direct material price variance
Using this formula
Direct material price variance=Actual quantity(Standard price -Actual price)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material price variance=490 ($32 - $30) Direct material price variance=980 U
B. Calculation to determine June’s direct material efficiency variance
Using this formula
Direct material efficiency variance=Standard price (Actual quantity-Standard quality)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material efficiency variance=$30 (490 – 500)
Direct material efficiency variance= 300 F
C. Calculation to determine June’s direct labor rate variance
Using this formula
Direct labor rate variance=standard hours(actual rate -standard rate )
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor rate variance =250 dlh ($15.25 - $15.00)
Direct labor rate variance = $62.50 U
D. Calculation to determine June’s direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance=[250 dlh - (5,000 x 0.05)] x $15
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance = 0

It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 495,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $396,000 and $643,500 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 110,000 110,000 220,000
Number of setups 1,100 550 1,650
1. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing.
2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing.
3. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach.
4. What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton?
Answer:
1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour
Design $390 per setup
2. Wool product line $627,000
Cotton Product line $412,500
3. Overhead rate $2.10
4. Wool Product line $519,750
Cotton Product line $519,750
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.
Overhead rate using the activity based costing
Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours
= $396,000 / 220,000
= $1.80 per machine hour
Design = Overhead / Number of setups
= $643,500 / 1,650
= $390 per setup
2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing
Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line
Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)
Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000
Wool product line= $627,000
Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)
Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500
Cotton Product line= $412,500
3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.
Overhead rate using traditional approach
Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours
Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000
Overhead rate= $2.10
4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach
Overhead allocated using the traditional method
Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Wool Product line= $519,750
Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Cotton Product line= $519,750

Answer:
Product C and J only should processed further.
Explanation:
A project from a joint process should be processed further if additional sales revenue from further processing exceeds further processing cost.
So we will compare the net income i.e additional sales revenue minus sales further processing cost less for the three products as follows:
Net income
Product C : (100,000-75,000)-20,000 = $5,000
Product J: (115,000-70,000)-36,000= $9,000
Product R: (55,000-46,500) - 10,000=$(1,500)
Product C and J only should processed further.

Contribution ratio 78% (100 - 22) 53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32) 67%
b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Segment Revenues
(in millions)
Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700
Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200
Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600
Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:
Turner 22%
Home Box Office 47%
Warner Bros. 32%
b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100). But the results are the same for either method.

In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission allowed Exxon and Mobil to merge. At the time, Exxon and Mobil were the top two firms in their industry, and their merger created the largest corporation in the world. To allow the merger, Exxon and Mobil agreed to sell 2,431 gas stations. Of these, 1,740 were in the mid-Atlantic states, 360 were in California, 319 were in Texas, and 12 were in Guam.
Why would the U.S. government require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur?
a. Because these geographic regions had too many gas stations.
b. To protect consumers from inappropriate price decreases.
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
d. To ensure that Exxon-Mobil would earn fair profits in these geographic areas.
Answer:
1999 Merger of Exxon and Mobil
The reason that made the U.S. government to require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur is:
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
Explanation:
The agreement to sell so many gas stations in localized parts of the country was to forestall antitrust lawsuits. It was also made to protect consumers from unwarranted price increases, allowing more competition in the affected areas, where ExxonMobil owed too many gas stations.
The reason why the US would require these two companies to divest themselves is because to ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
The answer to this question is option c. Sometimes when two companies merge into one, they could become too powerful. When this is the case, they may end up driving out all their competitors from the market.
At this point, a monopoly may arise from the companies. When a monopoly arises, they would be able to set the price to any amount that they want. This divest option by the government was to ensure the protection of consumers from a situation of price hikes.

Pearson Electric Company uses the high-low method to analyze mixed costs. The following information relates to the production data for the first six months of the year. Month Cost(Y) Hours(H) January $ 7,300 260 February $ 9,125 730 March $ 7,540 410 April $ 7,485 330 May $ 9,460 980 June $ 9,030 705 How should the cost function be properly stated using the high-low method?
Answer: 6520 + 3x
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the variable cost per hour which will be:
= (Highest activity cost – Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity hour – Lowest activity hour)
= (9460 - 7300)/(980 - 260)
= 2160 / 720
= 3
We'll also find the fixed cost which will be:
= Fixed cost = Highest activity cost – (Variable cost per hour x Highest activity hour)
= 9460 - ( 3 x 980)
= 9460 - 2940
= 6520
Therefore, the cost function will be:
= 6520 + 3x
