You own a portfolio that has $1,600 invested in Stock A and $2,700 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:
The expected return is
= ($1,600 ÷ $4,300) × 11% + ($2,700 ÷ $4,300) × 17%
= 14.767 %
= 14.77%
The $4,300 comes from
= $1,600 + $2,700
= $4,300
hence, the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%

The owner of an office building is interested in selling the building in order to raise capital for development of a large shopping mall. The building has a 30-year, 7% mortgage with 20 years of remaining payments; the original mortgage principal was $200 million. The building is fully occupied by tenants who have long-term leases of at least 20 years. The owner enjoys net income of $1 million per month after paying all operating expenses and the mortgage payment. The new owner would be able to take over the existing mortgage. a. What is the minimum offer that the owner would accept, assuming th
Answer:
the minimum price depends on the owner's discount rate. For example, if the discount rate is 12% per year or 1% per month, then the price should equal:
PV = $1,000,000 x 90.81942 (PVIFA, 1%, 240 periods) = $90,819,420
You would need to adjust the PVIFA depending on the owner's discount rate; the higher the rate, the lower the price.
A sum of money was shared
between Joan and Ngozi in the
ratio 5:3. If Joan's share was 40.00,
how much was the original sum of
money?
Answer:
6400
Explanation:
Let the shares of money for Joan and Ngozi be 5x and 3x respectively.
Joan's share = 40.00 (given)
Therefore,
5x = 40,00
x = 40,00/5
x = 800
5x + 3x
= 8x
= 8*800
= 6400
Original sum of money = 6400

Software Distributors reports net income of $48,000. Included in that number is depreciation expense of $6,500 and a loss on the sale of land of $4,300. A comparison of this year's and last year's balance sheets reveals a decrease in accounts receivable of $18,000, a decrease in inventory of $11,500, and an increase in accounts payable of $38,000. Required: Prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
Operating Activities Section
Net Income $48,000
Adjust for non -cash items :
Depreciation expense $6,500
Loss on the sale of land $4,300
Adjust for changes in working capital :
Decrease in accounts receivable $18,000
Decrease in inventory $11,500
Increase in accounts payable $38,000
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $126,000
Explanation:
The Indirect Method of preparing the cash flow from operating activities section reconciles the Net Income for the Year to Operating Cash flow amount.

An electronics firm is currently manufacturing an item that has a variable cost of $.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable cost would increase to $.60, but volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higherquality product. Should the company buy the new equipment
Answer: The company should not buy the new equipment
Explanation:
For the 1st case:
Revenue = Selling price × Number of units
= 1 × 30000
= $30,000
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
= 14000 + (0.5 × 30000)
= 14000 + 15000
= $29000
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= $30000 - $29000
= $1000
For the 2nd case:
Revenue = Selling price × Number of units
Revenue = Selling price × Number of units
= 1 × 50000
= $50,000
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
= 20000 + (0.6 × 50000)
= 20000 + 30000
= $50000
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= $50000 - $50000
= $0
Based on the calculation above, the company should not buy the new equipment as no profit will be made while currently a profit of $1000 is made.
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.

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.

The market demand curve in perfect competition is found by A. the interaction of supply and demand at the individual firm and consumer levels. B. horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers. C. utility maximizing behavior of the "representative consumer." D. horizontally summing the supply curves of the individual firms in the industry.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
the demand curve is a graph of the quantity demanded on the vertical axis and the price on the horizontal axis. it is downward sloping
market demand curve is the aggregation of demand curves
Because goods are identical, market demand curve can be determined by horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers

Jacques lives in Miami and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. 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 Jacques does not operate this guitar 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 guitar business.
Identify each of Jake's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Complete the following table by determining Jake's accounting and economic profit of his guitar business.
Profit (Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer:
Explicit Costs
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
Implicit costs
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Accounting profit = $62,000
economic profit = $-3000
Explanation:
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Jacques forgoes the opportunity to earn a salary and rent out his showroom when he started his business
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
$793,000 - ($430,000 + $301,000) = $62,000
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
$62,000 - (50,000 + 15,000) =$-3000

Explanation:
The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________
a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F
Answer:
d. $40 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is
First step is to calculate the SH
SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit
SH= 1,000 hours
Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F
Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F

3. The manufacturing cycle efficiency
, is 36.9%
Thus percentage of the throughput time spent in non–value-added activities is given as
1 - 36.9% = 63.1%
4.The delivery cycle time is calculated as
Wait time + through put time
Delivery cycle =17.0 + 8.4 = 25.4 days
5. The New manufacturing cycle efficiency is calculated as
Process ÷through put time
But the new through put time =8.4 -4.2=4.2
New manufacturing cycle efficiency =3.1 / 4.2 = 0.7380
=73.8%
