You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund.
Required:
What is the expected return and standard deviation of return on your client's portfolio?
Answer:
Portfolio expected return = 8%
Portfolio SD = 9%
Explanation:
Portfolio return is a function of the weighted average return of each stock or asset invested in the portfolio. The mean return on portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock or asset in the portfolior represents the return of each stock or asset in the portfolioTotal investment in portfolio = 60000 + 40000 = 100000
Portfolio return = 60000/100000 * 10% + 40000/100000 * 5%
Portfolio return = 8%
The standard deviation of a portfolio containing one risky and one risk-free asset is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky asset by its weight in the portfolio. So, portfolio standard deviation will be,
Portfolio SD = 60000/100000 * 15%
Portfolio SD = 9%

5.For the past year, Chandler Company had fixed costs of $70,000, unit variable costs of $32, and a unit selling price of $40. For the coming year, no changes are expected in revenues and costs, except that property taxes are expected to increase by $10,000. Determine the break-even sales (units) for: (12 pts ~ 6 pts each) a.The past year: b.The coming year
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 8750 units
b.
Break even in units = 10000 units
Explanation:
The break even in units is the number of units that a business must sell in order to for its total revenue to be equal to total costs and for it to break even. The break even in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a. Past Year
Break even in units = 70000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 8750 units
b. Coming Year
The property taxes which are a fixed cost will increase by $10000. Thus total fixed cost for coming year will be = 10000 + 70000 = 80000
Break even in units = 80000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 10000 units
Leaper Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Total Activity Fabrication 50,000 machine-hours Order processing 200 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and salaries $ 450,000 Depreciation 185,000 Occupancy 205,000 Total $ 840,000 The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: Activity Cost Pools Total Fabrication Order Processing Other Wages and salaries 35% 30% 35% 100% Depreciation 20% 50% 30% 100% Occupancy 35% 30% 35% 100% The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:_______.
A. $2,755 per order
B. $1,445 per order
C. $1,138 per order
D. $983 per order
Answer:
Order Processing= $1,445 per order
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated costs for processing:
Order Processing= (450,000*0.30) + (185,000*0.5) + (205,000*0.3)
Order Processing= $289,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order Processing= 289,000 / 200
Order Processing= $1,445 per order
On January 1, 2017, Fisher Corporation purchased 40 percent (74,000 shares) of the common stock of Bowden, Inc. for $980,000 in cash and began to use the equity method for the investment. The price paid represented a $66,000 payment in excess of the book value of Fisher's share of Bowden's underlying net assets. Fisher was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by Bowden with a 15-year remaining life. All other assets were considered appropriately valued on Bowden's books.
-Bowden declares and pays a $94,000 cash dividend to its stockholders each year on September 15. Bowden reported net income of $408,000 in 2017 and $356,000 in 2018. Each income figure was earned evenly throughout its respective year.
-On July 1, 2018, Fisher sold 10 percent (19,500 shares) of Bowden's outstanding shares for $328,000 in cash. Although it sold this interest, Fisher maintained the ability to significantly influence Bowden's decision-making process.

Historical Art is a new business. During its first year of operations, credit sales were $50,000 and collections from credit sales were $34,000. One account for $500 was written off. Management uses the percent-of-sales method to account for bad debts expense and estimates 3% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What is the balance of accounts receivable at the end of the first year?
Answer: $1000
Explanation:
First, we calculate the amount if bad debt expense which will be:
= 3% × $50000
= $1500
Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable at the end of the first year will be:
= Amount of bad debts expense - Account written off
= $1500 - $500
= $1000

Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method. First Year Second Year $fill in the blank 1 31,500 $fill in the blank 2 31,500 b. Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
A. Year 2 $31,500
Year 2 $31,500
B. Year 1 = 63,000
Book Value of Tractor $252,000
Year 2 $ 50,400
Book Value of Tractor $201,600
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method
Year 1 = $315,000 / 10
Year 1 = $31,500
Year 2 = $315,000 / 10
Year 2= $31,500
B) Calculation to determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method
Based on the information given we are first going to calculate the percentage of depreciation using straight line method and then double it
Percentage = $ 315,000 *10%
Percentage=$31,500
Now let depreciation the book value each year by 20% Using the double-declining-balance method method
Year 1=20% of $ 315,000
Year 1= 63,000
Book Value=$315,000 - $63,000
Book Value= $ 252,000
Year 2= 20% of 252,000
Year 2 = $ 50,400
Book Value=$ 252,000 -$50,400
Book Value= $201,600
Sandy is considering moving from her apartment into a small house with a fenced yard. The apartment is noisy, and she has difficulty studying. In addition, the fenced yard would be great for her dog. The distance from school is about the same from the house and from the apartment. The apartment costs $750 per month, and she has 2 months remaining on her lease. The lease cannot be broken, so Sandy must pay the last 2 months of rent whether she lives there or not. The rent for the house is $450 per month, plus utilities, which should average $100 per month. The apartment is furnished; the house is not. If Sandy moves into the house, she will need to buy a bed, dresser, desk, and chair immediately. She thinks that she can pick up some used furniture for a good price. Which of the following costs is irrelevant to Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house?
a. House rent of $450 per month.
b. Utilities for the house of $100 per month.
c. The noise in the apartment house.
d. The cost of the used furniture.
Answer:
Noise in the apartment house
Explanation:
Costs are units or monetary value which are incurred/spent on taking a certain action. It is often quantitative in nature that is something that can be measured. Although noise is a factor which can affect Sandy's decision of moving from the apartment, it cannot be considered as a cost. Noise of the apartment is a qualitative factor. It does not have an intrinsic monetary value. Thus, in this regard it is an irrelevant cost for Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house.
The other options have a monetary value and thus they are relevant for Sandy's decision.

Sales on account are $1,628,900. Cost of goods sold is $1,230,800. Required: 1. Calculate the following risk ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
Missing word: "a. Receivables turnover ratio b. Inventory turnover ratio c. Current ratio d. Acid-test ratio d. Debt-equity ratio"
a. Receivable turover ratio = Net credit sales/ Average receivbles
= $1,628,900/ (($84000+$95000)/2)
= $1,628,900 / $89,500
= 18.2 Times
b) Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
= $1,230,800/ (($98,000+$83,000)/2)
= $1,230,800/$90,500
= 13.6 Times
c) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
= ($158,000+$84,000+$98,000+$4,300) / ($102,000+$7,500+$9,500
= $344,300/$119,000
= 2.893277311
= 2.89 to 1
d) Acid test ratio = ( Current assets - Inventory ) / Current liabilities
= ($344,300 - $98,000) / $119,000
= $246,300 / $119,000
= 2.0697478992
= 2.07
e) Debt-equity ratio = Total Liability (Current + Non-current) / Stockholders' equity
= ($119,000+$100,000) / ($730,000+$268,100)
= $219,000 / $998,100
= 0.2194169

Agnes works for STARQUEST LTD in the IT department. Her supervisor is Morges. Agnes is very good at her job and Morges fears threatened by her. Over a period of several months he routinely criticizes her work and withholds information from her that she should have to do her job. Then he sends her emails telling her she has missed deadlines and committed other errors. Agnes tries to defend herself but this only angers Morges. The last straw for Agnes was Morges telling her she would be better off at home "taking care of her husband." Agnes complains to HR about Morges' conduct. STARQUEST LTD could be liable to Agnes for Morges' conduct under which of the following doctrines?
a. parens patriae.
b. res ipsa loquitur.
c. respondeat superior.
d. fairness doctrine.
Answer:
The answer is "Option c".
Explanation:
The whole teaching requires its principal (StarQuest ltd) to also be held liable for only certain acts unless the agent or worker speaks up which damages or injury. From the above case, Morges' behavior is inaccurate as well as the corporation is responsible for its behavior.
Parens patriae is indeed a principle that covers State intervention whenever a negligent parent is involved.Res ipsa loquitor is indeed a principle which, throughout the absence of evidence, makes misconduct or perhaps an accident as 'negligence.'In the fairness doctrine is concerned with both the transmission of contentious news not with the liability of even an undertaking for its conduct.what challenges do managers face in motivating today's workforce?
Answer:
Each individual employee has their own set of beliefs and needs, and you can rarely find two of them who are alike. Therefore, managers have a hard time understanding how different their employees are. Also, it's hard to keep up with all the employee needs if they are constantly changing and evolving.

You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 6 percent annual coupons, $1,000 face values, and currently have 6 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 12 years to maturity and Bond B has 4 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest rises unexpectedly to 7 percent, Bond _____ will be the most volatile with a price decrease of _____ percent.
Answer:
Bond A is most volatile and 7.94%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Particulars Bond A Bond B
Interest ($1,000 × 6%) $60 $60
Period 12 4
PVAF at 7 for 12 years 7.942886
PVAF at 7% for 4 years 3.387211
PVF at 7% for 12 years 0.444012
PVF at 7% for 4 years 0.762895
The present value of interest $476.56
($60 × 7.942686)
The present value of interest $203.2327
($60 × 3.387211)
Present value of fair value $444.012
($1,000 × 0.444012)
Present value of fair value $762.8952
($1,000 × 0.762895)
Present value $920.57 $966.1279
The decrease in percentage is
= ($1,000 - $920.57) ÷ $1,000
= 7.94%
Bond A is most volatile
Decca Publishing paid $230,000 to acquire Thrifty Nickel, a weekly advertising paper. At the time of the acquisition, Thrifty Nickel balance sheet reported total assets of $130,000 and liabilities of $70,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickels assets was $100,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickel liabilities was $70,000.
Required:
a. How much goodwill did Decca Publishing purchase as part of the acquisition of Thrift Nickel?
b. Journalize Decca Publishing's acquisition of Thrifty Nickel.
Answer:
Part a
$200,000
Part b
Debit : Investment in subsidiary $230,000
Credit : Cash $230,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over at the acquisition date.
Assets and liabilities are taken over at their acquisition date Fair Values instead of Book Values so be sure to adjust any items shown at Book Value.
Net Assets = Assets at Fair Value - Liabilities at Fair Value
= $100,000 - $70,000
= $30,000
Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets Taken over
= $230,000 - $30,000
= $200,000
Testbank Multiple Choice Question 88 Concord Corporation, has 14300 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 59400 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $116000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
$60,400
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
2021 Dividend received =($116,000*2)-[(14,300 × $100 × .04)×3]
2021 Dividend received =$232,000-($57,200×3)
2021 Dividend received =$232,000-$171,600
2021 Dividend received =$60,400
Note that 2020 and 2021 will give us 2 years; 2019,2020and 2021 will give us 3 years
Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021 will be $60,400
The following information exists for ABC Company:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
Fixed expenses for the period: $60,000
Sales volume in units: 10,000
If selling price is reduced by $2 and sales volume increases by 3,000 units, total contribution margin will increase by $__________ .
Answer:
Difference= $1,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
New selling price= 30 - 2= $28
New units sales= 13,000
First, we need to calculate the current contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= units sold*unitary contribution margin
Total contribution margin= 10,000*(30 - 21)
Total contribution margin= $90,000
Now, the new contribution margin:

Maxim Air Filters Inc. plans to borrow $300,000 for one year. Northeast National Bank will lend the money at 10 percent interest and requires a compensating balance of 20 percent. What is the effective rate of interest?Maxim Air Filters Inc. plans to borrow $300,000 for one year. Northeast National Bank will lend the money at 10 percent interest and requires a compensating balance of 20 percent. What is the effective rate of interest?
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
The effective rate of interest is simply referred to as the interest on a loan, savings account or financial product. Based on the information given in the question, the effective interest rate will be:
= Interest rate / (1 - CC)
where,
Interest rate = 10%
Compensating balance CC = 20%
= Interest rate / (1 - CC)
= 10% / (1 - 20%)
= 0.1 / (1 - 0.2)
= 0.1 / 0.8
= 0.125
= 12.5%
The effective interest rate is 12.5%
The Payback Period Rule states that a company will accept a project if: Multiple Choice The calculated payback is less than three years for all projects. The calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years. We can recover the costs in a reasonable amount of time. The project stays within budget. The project increases shareholder value
Answer:
The calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years.
Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.
Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
The net present value (NPV) of a project can be defined as the difference between present value of cash-inflow into a project and that of cash-outflow over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the value of all cash-flows for a project with respect to its life span.
The Payback Period Rule states that a company will accept a project if the calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years.
Additionally, investors and project managers are advised to only invest in projects that are having a positive net present value that is greater than or equal to zero.

, suppose the book value of the debt issue is $70 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 12 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $100 million and the bonds sell for 61 percent of par. What is the company’s total book value of debt? The total market value? What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt now? (Assume that semi-annual compounding is used for the zero-coupon bond.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The company's total book value of debt will be:
= Value of debt + Value of zero coupon bonds
= $70 million + $100 million
= $170 million
b. The market value will be:
= Quoted price × Par value
= ($70 × 1.08) + ($100 × 0.61)
= $75.6 + $61
= $136.6 million
c. The aftertax cost of debt will be:
= (1 - Tax rate) × Pre tax cost of debt
= (1 - 35%) × 5.7%
= 65% × 5.7%
= 3.7%
Sheridan Company makes and sells widgets. The company is in the process of preparing its selling and administrative expense budget for the month. The following budget data are available: Item Variable Cost Per Unit Sold Monthly Fixed Cost Sales commissions $1 $10000 Shipping $3 Advertising $4 Executive salaries $120000 Depreciation on office equipment $4000 Other $2 $6000 Expenses are paid in the month incurred. If the company has budgeted to sell 94000 widgets in October, how much is the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for October
Answer:
$1,080,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much is the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for October
October Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses=
[($1 + $3 + $4 + $2) x 94,000] + ($10,000 +
$120,000 + $4,000 + $6,000)
October Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses=(10*94,000)+$140,000
October Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses=$940,000+$140,000
October Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses=$1,080,000
Therefore the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for October is $1,080,000
At the beginning of the current year, Hardin Company had 20,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding. During the year, it engaged in the following transactions related to its common stock, so that at year-end it had 63,800 shares outstanding: Apr. 1Issued 5,000 shares of stock. June 1Issued 4,000 shares of stock. July 1Issued a 10% stock dividend. Sept. 30Issued a 2-for-1 stock split, reducing the par value to $5 per share. Oct. 1Reacquired 1,000 shares as treasury stock. Nov. 30Reissued the 1,000 shares of treasury stock. Required: Determine the weighted average number of shares outstanding for computing the current earnings per share. Round your interim computations and final answer for the number of shares to nearest whole number.
Answer:
Hardin Company
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for computing the current earnings per share is:
= 35,841.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Transaction Number Weight Result
January 1 Outstanding 20,000 12/12 20,000
April 1 Issue of shares 5,000 9/12 3,750
June 1 Issue of shares 4,000 7/12 2,333
July 1 Stock Dividend 2,900 6/12 1,450
Sept. 30 Stock split 31,900 3/12 7,975
Oct. 1 Treasury Stock (1,000) 3/12 250
Nov. 30 Treasury Stock 1,000 1/12 83
Dec. 31 Outstanding weighted average shares 35,841
b) The Stock dividend was issued to 29,000 shares. The 10% gives 2,900 shares. For the stock split of 2 for 1, the number of shares will double, meaning that each shareholder will now have 2 shares.
Kenji lives in Detroit and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Kenji does not operate this boat business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Identify each of Charles's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor
Answer:
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays - Explicit cost
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer- Explicit cost
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom - Implicit cost
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor - Implicit cost
Explanation:
Explicit costs are the costs which are incurred to run the business. These are direct costs incurred by the individual. For instance, wages paid by firms, cost of furniture, building, etc. The explicit costs will thus include,
a. Wholesale cost paid to the manufacturer ($430,000)
b. Wages and utility bills ($301,000)
Implicit costs are those costs which are not directly incurred by an individual/ business. These are costs of the lost alternative i.e the opportunity cost of an action. For instance, the cost of forgone rent which could have been earned on renting the office space or building. Thus, Charles implicit costs are
a. Rent of the showroom ($15,000)
b. Salary from being a financial advisor ($50,000)
A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable-speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $21,500; a 41% chance of getting $22,000; and a 13% chance of getting $36,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $7,000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.
Answer:
Expected salvage value = $20455
Explanation:
The expected salvage value of the machine can be calculated by multiplying the expected salvage values by their relative probabilities and then summing up the resulting values. The following formula can be used,
Expected salvage value = pA * svA + pB * svB + ... + pN * svN
Where,
p represents the probability of each scenariosv represents the salvage value under each scenarioA, B, ... , N represents scenario A, B, ... , till Nth number of scenarioExpected salvage value = 0.35 * 21500 + 0.41 * 22000 + 0.13 * 36000 +
0.11 * -7000
Expected salvage value = $20455
