Answer:
$82436 is invested at 6% and $41218.2 is invested at 10%
Explanation:
We were told that a man invests his savings in two accounts,
Amount invested at 6 percent interest is ?
Amount invested at 10 percent interest is ?
Let us denote the amount invested at different percent as
X=the amount invested at 6%
Y is the amount invested at 10%
Then,
0.06X + 0.10Y = 9068
But from the question, we were told He puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky which means
X = 2Y
0.06(2Y) + 0.10Y = 9068
0.12Y + 0.10Y = 9068
0.22Y = 9068
Y= 9068/0.22
Y=41218.2
Then if we substitute Y into equation above we have
X= 2×41218.2
X=82436
Therefore, $82436 is invested at 6% and $41218.2 is invested at 10%
Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 30%, and the current dividend yield is 2%. Its beta is 1.2, the market risk premium is 8%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. (LO13-4) a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity. b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?
Answer:
a. 13.60 %
b. 10.00 %
c. CAPM accounts for investment risk and can be applied by any company irregardless of dividend size or growth rate.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity is the return required by holders of Common Stock
1. CAPM
Cost of Equity = Expected Return on Risk Free Security + Company`s Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 0.04 + 1.20 × 0.08
= 13.60 %
2. Constant growth model
Cost of Equity = Current Dividend Yield + Expected Growth
= 2 % + 8 %
= 10.00 %

Vivian's been put in charge of a few clients interested in running Google App campaigns. Some campaigns will use target cost-per-action (tCPA), while others use target cost-per-install (tCPI). Which two statements are correct when it comes to setting daily budgets within App campaigns
Answer:
- A daily budget should be at least 50 times the tCPI.
- A daily budget should be at least 10 times the tCPA.
Explanation:
Google application campaigns are used to promote Android and iOS applications across different platforms with the use of one system.
Advertisements are formatted to various specifications based on advertiser's uploaded creative assets (text, image, and video assets).
tCPA should be set to at least 10 times daily. This is done to quickly ramp up the campaign. Sometimes up to 20 times can also be used for better results.
tCPI should be set at least at 50 times for bids of $4 to $$5. Even when the CPI goals are lower the target should be set this way.
John has an escalator clause in his labor contract by which his salary increases automatically by the amount of the previous year's inflation rate. If John's salary is $100,000, this year's consumer price index is 105, and the previous year's CPI was 100, by what percent will John's salary be increased?
Answer: 5%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that John has an escalator clause in his labor contract by which his salary has to be increased automatically by the amount of the previous year's inflation rate.
If John's salary is $100,000, this year's consumer price index is 105, and the previous year's CPI was 100, the percent by which John's salary be increased will be (105 - 100) = 5%.
The Greek government decides to introduce new austerity measures, which reduce government direct spending by $16 billion. Greece has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.6. What will be the final change in real GDP as a result of this decreased spending? Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars.
Answer:
-$40 billion
Explanation:
Given that
Reduction in government spending = $16 billion
Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6
Change in spending = $16 billion
Based on the above information
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.06)
= 1 ÷ 0.4
= 2.5
Now
The final change in real GDP is
= Multiplier × Change in spending
= 2.5 × -$16 billion
= -$40 billion
"a customer owns 1,000 shares of xyzz stock, purchased at $40 per share. the stock is now at $45, and the customer has become neutral on the stock, but believes that the stock still has good long term growth potential the client asks her representative for a "conservative recommendation" that will give her a positive portfolio return. the client should be told to:"
Answer:
Sell 10 XYZZ 45 call contracts
Explanation:
Since it is mentioned that the customer purchased for $40 and sale at $45 also he is neutral and thinks of a good investment. Therefore the stock should not be sold
Now if the customer sold the calls as opposed to the position of the stock than it would generate an additional premium income. This is we called conservative income strategy
Also if the stock increased, the expiration of put is done and the customer also owns the stock but if the stock decline, the short put is exercised i.e reflects that the customer should buy the stock
And in the recession market, the client lose doubles in a fast manner
Therefore the above is the answer
"A customer buys 300 shares of ABC at $40, depositing the Regulation T requirement on the 3rd business day after trade date. He holds the position for two months, during which $100 of interest is charged on the debit balance. What is the adjusted debit balance at the end of the two month period?"
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of shares = 300
Cost per share = $40
Interest charge = $100
Total cost of shares = (number of shares * purchase price)
Total cost of shares = 300 * $40 = $12000
The regulation T says an investor cannot borrow more than 50% of the purchase price.
Therefore, 50% of shares cost :
(50/100) * $12,000
0.5 * $12,000
= $6000
Therefore, Adjusted debit balance :
$6000 + $100 = $6,100

Many economists believe that the market for wheat in the United States is an almost perfectly competitive market. If one firm discovers a technology that makes its wheat taste better and have fewer calories than all other wheat offered in the market, the wheat market would become less competitive:
Answer: c. the products would no longer be similar in the wheat market.
Explanation;
In a perfectly competitive market, goods are meant to be homogeneous which leads to stiffer competition as a consumer could just switch from one seller to another and still get the same utility as all products are similar.
If one product starts to taste better and have fewer calories, the products in the market will no longer be homogeneous and competition will decrease because switching to this newer wheat would increase a consumer's utility as opposed to not therefore more people will switch and other competitors will not be able to compete unless they start producing better wheat as well.
Correctly match the account balances related to AFS securities with the correct financial statement presentation
(1) Other Comprehensive Income
(2) Net Income
(3) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(a) Realized gains and losses from the sale of AFS securities
(b) Net fair value adjustments to date - net holding gains and losses to date
(c) Current period holding gains or losses
Answer:
Available-for-Sale Securities (AFS) are security instruments of another company that a company buys intending to sell before it matures or in the case of no maturity, the company intends to hold it for a while.
1. Other Comprehensive Income - Current period holding gains or losses
Available for Sale securities will see their values change as time goes on. The changes in their value have to be reflected in the books but because no money is actually being accrued or lost, this cannot be reflected in the Income statement. The various gains or losses in the current period will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income.
2. Net Income - Realized gains and losses from the sale of AFS securities
When the AFS is actually sold, the gains or losses accrued will be sent to the Income statement as actual cash has now been accrued from its sale.
3. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income - Net fair value adjustments to date - net holding gains and losses to date.
While the various gains or losses in the current period will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, the accumulated gains or losses over the entire periods the security has been held is reported in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income which falls under the Equity section of the Balance sheet

b.) The buyer is the real estate professional's customer; the seller is the real estate professional's client.
c.) While both the buyer and the seller are clients, the real estate professional owes the fiduciary duties of an agent only to the seller.
d.) Because both the buyer and the seller are the real estate professional's clients, the real estate professional owes the fiduciary duties of an agent to both
Answer: d.) Because both the buyer and the seller are the real estate professional's clients, the real estate professional owes the fiduciary duties of an agent to both
Explanation: According to the scenario above, both the buyer and the seller are clients of the real estate professional and as such service providers or professionals have moral and ethical obligations which must be performed in other to avoid situations which could compromise the integrity and professionalism of the real estate personnel. Therefore the real estate professional owes both the seller and buyer fiduciary duties (ethical relationship) and hence should deal with fairness between them.

A company sells DVD players for $200 per unit. The players have a unit variable cost of $160. The company estimates that it will sell one home entertainment system for every four DVD players sold. Home entertainment systems have a unit variable cost of $460 and sell for $600 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $90,000. Assuming that the sales mix estimate is correct, how many DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even?
Answer:
Break-even point= 1,200 DVDs
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the sales proportion:
DVD= 4/5= 0.8
Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2
Now, we need to calculate the break-even point for the whole company:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (200*0.8 + 600*0.2) - (160*0.8 + 460*0.2)
Weighted average contribution margin= 60
Break-even point (units)= 90,000/60= 1,500
Finally, the number of DVDs:
DVD= 1,500*0.8= 1,200 DVDs
DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even point :
Formula :
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution marginBreak-even point (units)= 90,000/60Break-even point (units)= 1,500
Therefore, the number of DVDs:
DVDs= Break-Even Point-Sales Proportion DVD= 1,500*0.8DVD= 1,200 DVDsWorking Notes :
Sales Proportion:DVD= 4/5= 0.8
Home entertainment= 1/5= 0.2
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)Weighted average contribution margin= (200*0.8 + 600*0.2) - (160*0.8 + 460*0.2) Weighted average contribution margin= 60
DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even is 1200DVDs.

Daves Inc. recently hired you as a consultant to estimate the company's WACC. You have obtained the following information. (1) The firm's noncallable bonds mature in 20 years, have an 8.00% annual coupon, a par value of $1,000, and a market price of $1,000.00. (2) The company's tax rate is 25%. (3) The risk-free rate is 4.50%, the market risk premium is 5.50%, and the stock's beta is 1.20. (4) The target capital structure consists of 35% debt and the balance is common equity. The firm uses the CAPM to estimate the cost of equity, and it does not expect to issue any new common stock. What is its WACC? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
9.315%
Explanation:
The computation of WACC is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
PV -$1,000
PMT 80
N 20
FV $1,000
Compute IY 8%
After tax cost of Debt = Before tax cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 8% × (1 - 25%)
= 6%
According to the CAPM,
Cost of Equity =Risk free Rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium)
= 4.5% + (1.2 × 5.5%)
= 11.10%
Weight of Equity = 100% - 35%
= 65%
WACC = (Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity) + (Weight of debt × Cost of debt)
= (65% × 11.10) + (35% × 6)
= 9.315%
Based on the information given Daves Inc WACC is 9.32%.
First step is to find then YTM using financial calculator
PV= -$1,000
PMT= 80
N=20
FV =$1,000
Hence:
YTM=8%
Second step is to calculate the After tax cost of Debt
After tax cost of Debt = Before tax cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
After tax cost of Debt = 8% × (1 - 25%)
After tax cost of Debt = 6%
Third step is to calculate the Cost of Equity
Cost of Equity =Risk free Rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium)
Cost of Equity= 4.5% + (1.2 × 5.5%)
Cost of Equity= 11.10%
Fourth step is to calculate WACC
WACC= (.35 × 6%×)+ [(1-.35)×11.10%]
WACC=(.35×6%)+(.65×11.10%)
WACC=2.1%+7.215%
WACC=9.315%
WACC= 9.32% (Approximately)
Inconclusion Daves Inc WACC is 9.32%.
