Answer:
Cost of equity = 11.7%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. 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. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate,-4%, β= Beta-1.10, (Rm-Rf) = 7% ,Ke = cost of equity
Using this model,
Ke=4% + 1.10×7%
= 11.7 %
Cost of equity = 11.7%

Answer:
1. D. 80 claims.
2. D. 39 claims
3. E. 2.78 weeks
4. B. 48.75 weeks
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the average number of claims that are in process
Using this formula
Average number of claims in process = Lead time in weeks*units per week
Let plug in the formula
Average number of claims in process = 5*(800/50)
Average number of claims in process= 80 claims
Therefore the average number of claims that are in process is 80 claims
2. Calculation to determine How many house insurance claims are in process
Average number of house insurance claims in process = 80-20-9-12
Average number of house insurance claims in process = 39 claims
Therefore the Average number of house insurance claims in process is 39 claims
3. Calculation to determine How long, on average, does it take to process a car insurance claim
First step is to calculate the Units per week
Units per week = (800/50)*45%
Units per week= 7.2
Now let calculate How long, does it take to process a car insurance claim
Time taken to process a car insurance claim = 20/7.2
Time taken to process a car insurance claim = 2.777777778
Time taken to process a car insurance claim = 2.78 weeks (Approximately)
Therefore How long, on average, it take to process a car insurance claim is 2.78 weeks
4. Calculation to determine How long, on average, does it take to process a house insurance claim
Using this formula
Time taken to process a house insurance claim = Average number of house insurance claims in process/Weekly house insurance claims
Let plug in the formula
Time taken to process a house insurance claim= 39/[(800/50)*5%]
Time taken to process a house insurance claim= 48.75 weeks
Therefore How long, on average, it take to process a house insurance claim is 48.75 weeks

Mavericks Cosmetics buys $4,347,116 of product (net of discounts) on terms of 8/10, net 60, and it currently pays on the 10th day and takes discounts. Mavericks plans to expand, and this will require additional financing. If Mavericks decides to forego discounts, what would the effective percentage cost of its trade credit be, based on a 365-day year
Answer:
15.59%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would the effective percentage cost of its trade credit be
Effective percentage cost=1+(.08/1-.08)]^(365/10)-1
Effective percentage cost=1.08^36.5-1
Effective percentage cost=15.59%
Therefore the effective percentage cost of its trade credit be 15.59%
if Mavericks decides to forego discounts, then, 83.80% would be the effective percentage of cost of its trade credit.
Here we are to calculate what would the effective percentage cost of its trade credit.
Effective cost of not taking discount = (1 + (%Discount / (1-Discount%)^ (365/(Total days - Discount days)) - 1
Effective cost of not taking discount = [1 + (8/92)]^[365 / (60 - 10)] - 1
Effective cost of not taking discount = 1.8380 - 1
Effective cost of not taking discount = 0.8380
Effective cost of not taking discount = 83.80%
Therefore, if Mavericks decides to forego discounts, then, 83.80% would be the effective percentage of cost of its trade credit.

The number of years n required for an investment at interest rate r to double in value must satisfy (1 + r)n = 2. Using ln 2 = .69 and the approximation ln(1 + r) ≈ r valid for small r, show that n ≈ 69/i, where i is the interest rate percentage (that is, i = 100r). Using the better approximation ln(1+r) ≈ r − 1 2 r2, show that for r ≈ .08 there holds n ≈ 72/i.
Answer:
Showing n=69/i :
n*r=0.69
where r=i/100
n*(i/100)=0.69
Solving the above Equation:
n=69/i (Proved)
Showing n=72/i :
[tex]n*(0.08-\frac{1}{2}(0.08)^2)=0.69\\n* 0.0768=0.69\\n=8.98[/tex]
Above we calculated n=8.98 ≈ 9 (Proved n=72/i)
Explanation:
Given:
[tex](1+r)^n=2[/tex]
ln(2)=0.69
i=100*r means r=i/100
Solution:
Showing n=69/i :
[tex](1+r)^n=2[/tex]
Taking ln on both sides:
[tex]ln(1+r)^n=ln (2)\\n*ln(1+r)=0.69[/tex]
From given data ln(1+r) ≈ r
Above Equation will become:
n*r=0.69
where r=i/100
n*(i/100)=0.69
Solving the above Equation:
n=69/i (Proved)
Showing n=72/i :
As we know i=100*r
when r=0.08,
i=100*0.08=8
[tex]n=72/i =72/8 =9[/tex]
Now:
[tex](1+r)^n=2[/tex]
Taking ln on both sides:
[tex]ln(1+r)^n=ln (2)\\n*ln(1+r)=0.69[/tex]
From given data ln(1+r)≈[tex]r-\frac{1}{2} r^2[/tex]
Above Equation will become:
[tex]n*r-\frac{1}{2} r^2=0.69[/tex]
where r=0.08, Now:
[tex]n*(0.08-\frac{1}{2}(0.08)^2)=0.69\\n* 0.0768=0.69\\n=8.98[/tex]
Above we calculated n=8.98 ≈ 9 (Proved n=72/i)

Square footage of space occupied by each department follows: Custodial services 2,600 feet General administration 4,600 feet Producing Department A 9,600 feet Producing Department B 9,600 feet 26,400 feet The department costs of Custodial Services are allocated on a basis of square footage of space. If Custodial Services costs are budgeted at $54,000, the amount of cost allocated to General Administration under the direct method would be:
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Under the direct method of cost allocation, each and every service department cost would be distributed to the producing department that depend upon the square footage of space. Also the service of service department would be used by the other service department would not be considered.
So here the custodial service cost would be distributed to the producing department A and producing department b and no cost would be distributed to the general admin department
Hence, the $0 would be allocated

Compute the following:
(a) Income from operations -
(b) Net income -
(c) Comprehensive income
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020 -
Answer:
a. $131,880
b. $167,310
c. $156,050
d. $151,390
Explanation:
(a) Income from operations
Income from Operations is Income resulting from Primary Trading Activities of the Company.
Income from Operations = Gross Profit + Operating Income - Operating Expenses
where,
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= $334,910 - $149,030
= $185,880
thus,
Income from Operations = $185,880 - $54,000 = $131,880
(b) Net income
Income resulting from Primary and Secondary Trading Activities of the the Company.
Net income = Income from Operations + Non Operating Income - Non Operating Expenses
= $131,880 + $32,710 + $9,080 - $6,360
= $167,310
(c) Comprehensive income
Income from both Continuing and Non - Continuing Activities.
Comprehensive income = Net income + Non - Continuing Activities
= $167,310 - $11,260
= $156,050
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020
The Income remaining after distributions to shareholders have been made.
Retained earnings = Comprehensive income - Dividends
= $156,050 - $4,660
= $151,390
Kyle Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 715,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 465,000 shares of stock outstanding and $6.75 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent, and there are no taxes.

c. What is the break-even EBIT? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Break-even EBIT $
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
As we know that
1. EPS = ( Net income - dividends ) ÷ Average number of share
A.
For Plan 1
Number of share = 715,000
EPS = 1600000 ÷ 715000
= 2.23
For Plan 2
Net income = EBIT = $1.6 million = $1,600,000
Interest = 0.07*6,750,000 = 472,500
EBT = 1,127,500
Tax = 0
Net Income = 1,127,500
Numberof share = 465,000
So,
EPS = $1,127,500 ÷ 465000
= 2.42
B.
For Plan 1
EPS = 3100000 ÷ 715000
= 4.33
For Plan 2
When EBIT = 3,100,000
Interest = 0.07 × 6,750,000 = $472,500
Net Income = 2,627,500
So,
EPS = $2,627,500 ÷ 465000
= 5.65
C.
Plan 1 EBIT = Plan 2 EBIT
EBIT ÷ 715000 = (EBIT - 0.07 × $6,750,000) ÷ 465000
EBIT = 1,351,350 or $1.35 million

Lucia lives in Miami and loves to eat desserts. She spends her entire weekly allowance on yogurt and pie. A bowl of yogurt is priced at $1.50, and a piece of pecan pie is priced at $4.50. At her current consumption point, Lucia's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of yogurt for pie is 3. This means that Lucia is willing to trade three bowls of yogurt per week for one piece of pie per week. Does Lucia's current bundle maximize her utility in other words, make her as well off as possible? If not, how should she change it to maximize her utility?
a. Lucia's current bundle maximizes her utility, and she should keep it unchanged.
b. Lucia could increase her utility by buying more yogurt and less pie per week.
c. Lucia could increase her utility by buying less yogurt and more pie per week.
Answer:
a. Lucia's current bundle maximizes her utility, and she should keep it unchanged.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that the utility would be maximized when the marginal rate of substitution is equivalent to the price ratio
I.e.
MRS = Price ratio
Here, Price ratio is
= $4.5 ÷ $1.5
= 3
So the 3 would also represent the marginal rate of substitution (MRS)
Therefore the correct option is a.
hence, the rest of the options would be incorrect

A purpose of the Core Inflation Index is _______________. Select the correct answer below: to help consumers understand the overall cost of living from month to month to be a gauge from which to make important government policy changes to help companies make decisions about production and hiring to help people determine global trends in the oil market
Answer:
to be a gauge from which to make important government policy changes.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
Furthermore, when this persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy becomes rapid, excessive, unbearable and out of control over a period of time, it is generally referred to as hyperinflation.
Core Inflation Index can be defined as a measure of the change in the price (cost) of goods and services over a specific period of time but excluding the products or items from the energy and food sector. The energy products and food items are excluded because they're transitory i.e having temporary price volatility and as such making their prices change easily.
In Economics, some of the common ways to measure the rate of inflation in a country is through the consumer price index (CPI), gross domestic product deflator (GDP Deflator), personal consumption expenditures price index (PCEPI), employment cost index (ECI), producer price index (PPI), etc.
Hence, a purpose of the Core Inflation Index is to be a gauge from which to make important government policy changes that would have a significant effect or impact on the lives of the citizens of the country.
CII measures the change in the price of goods and services minus the price change of food and energy. It is a tool to make important government policies.
What is Core Inflation Index?CII is the difference between the change in the price of goods and services and with change in the price of food and energy. The food and energy factor is excluded because they are very volatile in nature.
The purpose of CII is to be a gauge from which to make important government policy changes.
Therefore, it can be said the above option aptly describes the purpose of CII.

Assume Southwest is currently a monopolist in the markets that Delta will enter. Assume that if Delta enters, Southwest will launch a price war. This will lead to annual profits for Southwest of $30M in this market, whereas Delta will lose $10M on the new route. Without a price war, Southwest will earn $50M while Delta will break even on the new route. If Delta decides not to enter, it will continue to compete with Southwest using its full fare carrier, which now is operating at breakeven on these routes.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False.
Explanation:
Southwest does not possess all the characteristics of a monopolist in the market. Some of the characteristics of a monopolist are: profit maximizer, price maker, high barriers to entry, single seller, and price discrimination. Since Delta Airlines is able to enter the market, it means that Southwest is a competitor with Delta and not a monopolist in the real sense. The fact is that Southwest has a dominant strategy in this market.
