The risk-free rate is 4.5 percent and the market expected return is 10.8 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of 1.30
Answer:
Expected return = 12.69%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock.. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
β-1.30, Rf- 4.5%, Rm = 10.8%
E(r) = 4.5% + 1.30 × (10.8 - 4.5)%= 12.69
Expected return = 12.69%
Barb Campbell owns an entertainment company which has increased both its profits and revenues over an extended period of time. Barb's firm is experiencing:
Answer:
sustained growth
Explanation:
Based on this information it seems that Barb's firm is experiencing sustained growth. This term refers to the realistically attainable amount of growth that a company can have without running into problems. If a business grows way too fast it will not be able to fund that growth, but if they do not grow enough then they will amass debt and fail. Sustainable Growth is usually the goal for new companies.
Consider the economies of Hermes and Gobbledigook, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 20 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2036.
Year Hermes
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000
2036 15 30 3,600
Year Gobbledigook
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400
2036 12 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a_______ amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect_______which makes it______for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Answer:
Hermes
Productivity (Gobs per worker)
2016 100
2036 120
Gobbledigook
Productivity
(Gobs per worker)
2016 80
2036 120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect OF CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Explanation:
Hermes
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000 3,000/30=100
2036 15 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Gobbledigook
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400 2,400/30=80
2036 12 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect of CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

You will require $700 in 5 years. If you earn 5% interest on your funds, how much will you need to invest today in order to reach your savings goal
Answer:
PV= $548.47
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You will require $700 in 5 years. You earn 5% interest on your funds.
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value
FV= future value
n= number of years
i= interest rate
PV= 700/(1.05^5)
PV= $548.47
George bought the following amounts of Stock A over the years: (Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.) Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 Stock A 5/22/2008 850 30,600 On October 12, 2019, he sold 1,350 of his shares of Stock A for $38 per share. a. How much gain/loss will George have to recognize if he uses the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold
Answer:
George
Using the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold, the gain to be recognized is $20,400.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Cost/unt
Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 $24
Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 $18
Stock A 5/22/2008 850 30,600 $36
On October 12, 2019, he sold 1,350, $38 per share
Stock A remaining 1,150
Stock A:
Cost of sales = 1,100 x $24 = $26,400
plus 250 x $18 = $4,500
Total cost of sales $30,900
Sales revenue 1,350 x $38 = $51,300
Gain on sale $20,400
b) The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is an inventory method of recognizing the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory based on the assumption that the items that were first brought into inventory are the the ones to be sold. With this method, the cost of sales will be determined by the earlier purchases of inventory while the cost of ending inventory will be calculated based on the later purchases of inventory. Other methods in use in inventory costing are the Last-In, First-Out, the Weighted-Average, and Specific Identification Methods.

You would expect a bond of the U.S. government to pay higher interestrate as compared to a bond of an Eastern European government.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Bond interest is determined in part by the riskiness of the Issuer of the bond. The United States is one of the most trust-worthy countries in the world and this is reflected by the US T-bills being considered a risk-free asset the world over.
The less risky an asset is, the less interest it has to pay as it does not have to compensate its investors for more added risk. A United States Bond is definitely safer than an Eastern European Government bond who are not as developed as the Western Europeans speaking in an unbiased manner. Therefore the US Bond will pay a lower interest relative to a bond of an Eastern European government.
Panner, Inc., owns 30 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $126,000 and then sells it to Watkins for $180,000. At the end of the year, Watkins still holds only $26,400 of merchandise. What amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method
Answer:
The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376
Explanation:
The cost of inventory = $126000
Selling price of inventory (revenue) = $180000
The remaining inventory with Watkins = $26400
Gross profit percentage = (revenue – cost) / revenue
Gross profit percentage = (180000 – 126000) / 180000 = 0.3 or 30%
Remaining value = $26400 × 30% = 7920
Ownership = 7920 × 30% = $2376
The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376
Braynerd Chemicals sells 40 million shares of stock in an SEO—25 million being primary shares issued by the company and 15 million being secondary shares sold by investors in the company. At the time of the sale, Braynerd's stock was selling at $21.00 per share. If the underwriter charges 5% of the gross proceeds as a fee, how much money was raised in the sale?
Answer: $498.75 million
Explanation:
Of the 40 million shares sold by Braynerd Chemicals, 15 million were sold as secondary shares by investors in the company. The proceeds from these 15 million will therefore not go to the company but to the investors so they are not counted.
Gross total money raised will be;
= 25 million * 21.00
= $525 million
The Underwriter charges 5% of the gross amount as a fee so the Net amount raised will be;
Net Total = 525 * ( 1 - 5%)
Net Total = $498.75 million
Suppose a Roasted Olive restaurant is considering whether to (1) bake bread for its restaurant in-house or (2) buy the bread from a local bakery. The chef estimates that variable costs of making each loaf include $.52 of ingredients, $.24 of variable overhead (electricity to run the oven), and $.70 of direct labor for kneading and forming the loaves. Allocating fixed overhead (depreciation on the kitchen equipment and building) based on direct labor assigns $.96 of fixed overhead per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $1.75 per loaf.
a. What is the unit cost of making the bread in-house (use absorption costing)?
b. Should Roasted Olive bake the bread in-house or buy from the local bakery? Why?
Answer:
Roasted Olive should bake the bread in-house.
Because, It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves $0.29 per loaf of bread.
Explanation:
Cost of Making
Unit Cost (Absorption Costing) = All Manufacturing Cost (Fixed and Variable)
= $0.52 + $0.24 + $0.70 + $0.96
= $2.42
Cost of Buying from Local Bakery
Note that the fixed costs are note avoidable, meaning that they would be incurred whether or not the bread is made internally or purchased from local Bakery
Cost of Purchase Option per unit :
Purchase Price $1.75
Add Fixed Overhead per loaf $0.96
Total unit cost $2.71
Conclusion :
It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves ( $2.71 - $2.42) $0.29 per loaf of bread.
Therefore, Roasted Olive should bake the bread in-house.
A machine can be purchased for $140,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes, straight-line depreciation is applied, using a five-year life and a zero salvage value.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Net income $ 9,500 $ 23,500 $ 64,000 $ 35,500 $ 94,000
Compute the machine’s payback period (ignore taxes). (Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and round payback period answer to 3 decimal places.)
Year Net Income Depreciation Net Cash Flow Cumulative Cash Flow

4 35,500 0
5 94,000 0
Payback period =
Answer:
2.554 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
to derive cash flow from net income, add depreciation back
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$140,000 / 5 = $28,000
depreciation expense each year would be $28,000
cash flow in year 1 = $9500 + $28,000 = $37,500
cash flow in year 2= $23,500 + $28,000 =$51,500
cash flow in year 3 =$64,000 + $28,000 = $92,000
cash flow in year 4 =$35,500 + $28,000 = $63,500
cash flow in year 5 =$94,000 + $28,000 = $122,000
in year 1, the amount recovered = $-140,000 + $37,500 = $-102,500
in year 2, the amount recovered = $-102,500 + $51,500 = $-51,000
in year 3, the amount recovered = $-51,000 + $92,000 = $41,000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 years + 51,000 / 92,000 = 2.554 years

Answer:
1. Defined Benefit Plan
2. debit Vacation Pay Expense; credit Vacation Pay Payable
Explanation:
1. With a Defined Benefit Plan, employers promise to pay employees a pension based on factors like years of service and salary. The plan will be sponsored by the employer and will be managed by the company.
2. As the Vacation is an expense, it will need to be debited to an expense account being the Vacation Pay Expense account. It will also be credited to the Vacation Pay Payable to reflect that this is a liability that the company must fulfil.
company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to which of the following? a. The common stockholders b. The company's long-term debt holders c. The preferred stockholders d. The company
Answer:
a. The common stockholders.
Explanation:
A company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to the common stockholders.
Retained earnings can be defined as the accumulated profits or net income generated by an organization but are not distributed or given as dividends to the stockholders, rather are reinvested in to the business.
Generally, retained earnings are used to pay off debts, used for capital expenditures and working capitals.
Retained earnings represents the total stockholders' equity reinvested back into the company.
Heavy Products, Inc. developed standard costs for direct material and direct labor. In 2017, AII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 10−gallon plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.7 pounds $90 per pound Direct labor 0.05 hours $20 per hour During June, Heavy Products produced and sold 24,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $92 and 1,200 direct manufacturing labor−hours at an average wage of $91.25 per hour. The direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance during June is ________.
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= 0
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct labor 0.05 hours $20 per hour
Actual:
Heavy Products produced and sold 24,000 containers using 1,200 direct manufacturing labor−hours.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (0.05*24,000 - 1,200)*20
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= 0
Harmony Company sells handminusknit scarves. Each scarf sells for $ 45. The company pays $ 70 to rent vending space for one day. The variable costs are $ 12 per scarf. How many scarves should the company sell each day in order to break even? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole scarf.)
Answer:
2.12, rounded up to 3
Explanation:
To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.
Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost
45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45
70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production
45x=70+12x
Subtract 12x from both sides
33x=70
Divide both sides by 33
x=2.12
It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even
Discuss the requisite skills a person needs to lead change for a chosen organization. How can the organization’s structure accommodate change?
Explanation:
Organizational changes can create insecurity in workers, often caused by a lack of sufficient information and fear of the unknown.
Therefore, in the case of any organizational change, however small, it must be properly communicated to all employees, then communication is the essential ability of a leader to promote a transition of some practice or procedure in a rational, objective and clear way.
It is ideal that the leader knows how to communicate the changes using various channels, such as e-mail, panel, meetings, and explain in detail that the change will generate positive results for the work and for the organization, in order to make the workers safe and prepared.
It is also essential to provide adequate training in the event of changes in work, technological innovations, etc. The essential thing is that people management is geared towards the improvement of the employee along with the changes that are necessary and happen in every organization.

Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is:
Answer:
Debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, Capital $131,000.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, capital $131,000.
In Financial accounting, debit refers to an entry made which would either increase an expense or asset account; therefore, decreasing an equity or liability account. Credit refers to an entry made which would either increase an equity or liability account; therefore, decreasing an expense or asset account.
Generally, debit is an accounting entry which is made to the left of an account while credit is an accounting entry which is made to the right of an account. The standard rule is that, when a credit decreases an account, the opposite account should be increased with a debit.
Hence, in this case the RD Partnership will debit the cash received, $104,000 plus equipment valued at $27,000. Also, the opposite account or receivable account (Reno, capital) would be credited with $131,000 ($104,000+$27,000 = $131,000).
Nichols Enterprises has an investment in 31,500 bonds of Elliott Electronics that Nichols accounts for as a security available for sale. Elliott bonds are publicly traded, and The Wall Street Journal quotes a price for those bonds of $10 per bond, but Nichols believes the market has not appreciated the full value of the Elliott bonds and that a more accurate price is $23 per bond. Nichols should carry the Elliott investment on its balance sheet at:
Answer: $315,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Nichols Enterprises has an investment in 31,500 bonds of Elliott Electronics that Nichols accounts for as a security available for sale. Elliott bonds are publicly traded, and The Wall Street Journal quotes a price for those bonds of $10 per bond, but Nichols believes the market has not appreciated the full value of the Elliott bonds and that a more accurate price is $23 per bond.
To get the amount that Nichols should carry on the balance sheet as Elliott investment, we multiply the bond invested by the price per bond. This will be:
= 31,500 × $10
= $315,000

Analyze Cityscape Hotels Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays. Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following: Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy) Housekeeping service $23 Utilities 7 Amenities 3 Hotel depreciation 55 Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) 42 Total $130 The special weekend price is proposed for $120 per room night. At this price, it is anticipated that average occupancy for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) will increase from 30% to 50% of available rooms. a. What is the contribution margin for a room night under the normal pricing if only the hotel depreciation and hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) are assumed fixed for all occupancy levels
Answer:
$147
Explanation:
For the computation of contribution margin for a room night first we need to find out the variable cost per night which is shown below:-
Variable cost per room night = Housekeeping service + Utilities + Amenities
= $23 + $7 + $3
= $33 per room night
Contribution per room night under normal pricing = Normal price per room night - Variable cost per room night
= $180 - $33
= $147 per room night
Therefore for computing the contribution margin for a room night we simply applied the above formula.
Economist C says all of the following: Expansionary fiscal policy is needed to raise aggregate demand and remove the economy from a recessionary gap. The choice of fiscal policy measures is between ________________ government spending and a _______________ in taxes. Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) _________________ in _________________.
Answer:
The choice of fiscal policy measures is between ___increased_____________ government spending and a ____decrease___________ in taxes. Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) ____increase_____________ in ____governmental spending_____________.
Explanation:
Government employ two fiscal measures to drive the economy toward stability. They are taxation and government expenditure. Depending on the desired outcome and the prevailing circumstances, an increase in taxation reduces the propensity to consume, thus fueling increased savings and investments. Increased government expenditure galvanizes the economy to grow and the increased expenditure acts as a stimulus to economic activities. But fiscal policy measures are not used in isolation. They are complemented by monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.
Hernandez, Inc. signed a ten-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press. The lease stipulated annual payments of $300,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Hernandez at the expiration of the lease. Hernandez treated this transaction as a operating lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Hernandez uses straight-line amortization for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $1,800,000, based on implicit interest of 10%. What amount of amortization expense should be recorded for 2021?
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is to be based on the cost of the asset being depreciated. In this scenario, the cost of the heavy duty drill press will be the Present Value of all the lease payments for the entire 10 years because it is said that the title will pass to Hernandez Inc. afterwards so the lease payments can be considered as payment.
Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{Cost of Asset - Salvage Value}{Estimated Useful Life}[/tex]
Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{1,800,000 - 0}{15}[/tex]
Straight Line Amortisation = $120,000 per year
