Answer:
Life insurance.
Explanation:
A life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.
All of the following assets such as home, boat, vehicle require a title as proof of ownership, except a life insurance because no one person can present a proof to attest to the ownership of their life.
Simply stated, a life of an individual is abstract and as such can not be quantified or qualified by any document as a proof to be presented to another person or business entity. Thus, a life insurance cannot be used as a collateral to obtain credits or loans from a financial institution or investors.

An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $63.05 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 35% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $59.05
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Epsilon should choose to:
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + [41*(100%-35%)]
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + (41*65%)
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + 26.65
Relevant costs to make =$59.05
Therefore Epsilon should choose to: MAKE SINCE THE RELEVANT COST TO MAKE IT IS $59.05

Explanation:
incurred $10,000 of portfolio income. Its corporate trustee paid fiduciary fees of $1,000 therefrom, and also paid $1,000 in premiums for a life insurance policy on Marcia, the grantor of the trust. How much gross income does Marcia include with respect to these trust activities
Answer:
$1000
Explanation:
Portfolio income = $10,000
Fiduciary fees = $1,000
premiums paid for life insurance on Marcia = $1000
Fiduciary fees are fees charged by trustees and executors for services that they rendered
Therefore The amount of gross income Marcia will include being the grantor of the trust = $1000 ( 10% of portfolio income )
Suppose you forecast that the standard deviation of the market return will be 20% in the coming year. If the measure of risk aversion in is A = 4: a. What would be a reasonable guess for the expected market risk premium? b. What value of A is consistent with a risk premium of 9%? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What will happen to the risk premium if investors become more risk tolerant?
Answer:
a) 16%
b) 2.25
c) Increase in expected market risk premium
Explanation:
Expected standard deviation of market return = 20%
measure of risk aversion ( A ) = 4
a) Determine a reasonable expected market risk premium
= A * ( std ) ^2
= 4 * ( 20%)^2
= 16%
b) determine Value of A
market risk premium = A * ( std )^2
∴ A = 9% / ( 20% ) ^2
= 0.09 / 0.04
= 2.25
c) If investors become more risk tolerant the expected market risk premium will increase
You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $12. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.60 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $14. The stock's beta is 1.2, rf is 15%, and E[rm] = 25%. What is the stock's abnormal return?
Answer:
3%
Explanation:
The computation of the abnormal return of the stock is shown below:
= Rf + Beta (Rm - Rf)
= 15% + 1.2 (25% - 15%)
= 15% + 12%
= 27%
Now actual return is
=[ $1.60 + ($14 - $12)] ÷ $12
= 0.3
= 30%
ANd, finally the abnormal return is
= 30% - 27%
= 3%

Consider the following stock price and shares outstanding data: Stock Name Price per Share Shares Outstanding (Billion) Lowes $28.80 1.53 Wal-Mart $47.90 4.17 Intel $19.60 5.77 Boeing $75.00 0.79 If you are interested in creatinga value-weighted portfolio of these four stocks, then the percentage amount that you would invest in Lowes is closest to: A) 25% B) 11% C) 20.0% D) 12% E) 8%
Answer:
B) 11%
Explanation:
We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:
Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06
Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74
Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09
Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%
An investment opportunity requires a payment of $910 for 12 years, starting a year from today. If your required rate of return is 6.5 percent, what is the value of the investment to you today
Answer:
PV= $7,424.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $910
Number of periods (n)= 12 years
Rate of return (i)= 6.5%
To calculate the value of the investment today (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 910*{(1/0.065) - 1/ [0.065*(1.065^12)]}
PV= $7,424.44
Suppose that XTel currently is selling at $30 per share. You buy 800 shares using $18,000 of your own money, borrowing the remainder of the purchase price from your broker. The rate on the margin loan is 8%.
a. What is the percentage increase in the net worth of your brokerage account if the price of XTel immediately changes to (a) $33; (b) $30; (c) $27? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
b. If the maintenance margin is 25%, how low can XTel’s price fall before you get a margin call? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. How would your answer to requirement 2 would change if you had financed the initial purchase with only $12,000 of your own money? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
d. What is the rate of return on your margined position (assuming again that you invest $18,000 of your own money) if XTel is selling after one year at (a) $33; (b) $30; (c) $27? (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
e. Continue to assume that a year has passed. How low can XTel’s price fall before you get a margin call?
E-Eyes has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a return of 9.75 percent on this stock, how much should you pay today
Answer:
You would pay approximately $35.00 today
Explanation:
The cost of the stock at the beginning of the year 20
= 20/9.75%
= 20/0.0975
= 205.13 dollars
We find the current price of the stock
= Fv/(1+r)^n
= 205.13/(1+9.75%)¹⁹
= 205.13/1.0975¹⁹
= 205.13/5.86
= $35.00
From this calculation you have to pay 35 Dollars today.
Determine the promotional price of each item at each store. Item Original Price Discount (Dollars) $15.00 Off 40% Off (Dollars) (Dollars) A music box$75 $ $ A faux Ming vase$60.00 $ $ Suppose a friend of yours wants to buy a crystal candlestick. You remember seeing this item at both Annie's Attic and Betty's Breakables, but you do not remember the price. What advice should you give your friend in this situation
Answer:
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5
Explanation:
Annie's attic offers $15 off any purchase
Betty breakables offers 40% off any purchase
For both stores
Music box = $75 ( non discounted price )
Faux Ming vase = $60 ( non discounted price )
Discounted prices for Music box
For Annie's attic = 75 - 15 = $60
For Betty breakables = 75 - ( 40% * 75 ) = $45
Discounted prices for Faux Ming vase
For Annie attic = 60 - 15 = $45
For Betty breakables = 60 - ( 40% *60 ) = $36
lets assume the price of the Crystal candle to be x
we will buy from betty breakables If 40% of x > $15 discount offered by Annie's
40/ 100 * x > 15
x > 100/40 * 15
x > 37.5
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
2b.
Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Answer:
1a. Product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
Explanation:
1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Fixed overhead per unit = Fixed overhead for the year / Units produce for the year = $420,000 / $42,000 = $10
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit + Fixed overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 + $10 = $82
Therefore, product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
Note: See number 1b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under absorption costing.
From number 1b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $774,000
Therefore, net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 = $72
Therefore, product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Note: See number 2b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under variable costing.
From number 2b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $694,000
Therefore, net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, and the marginal rate of transformation is -2. How many units of good G can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G
Answer:
The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Explanation:
Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:
MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)
Where:
MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2
PG = Price of good G = ?
PD = Price of good D = $6
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:
-2 = - PG / $6
PG = -2 * (-6) = $12
Therefore, we have:
Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15
Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Which theory would most likely explain why a commercial bank, which usually focuses on short-term securities, would switch to long-term securities due to a change in interest rates. pure expectation liquidity premium segmented market preferred habitat
Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.
The difference between a low-cost provider strategy and a focused low-cost strategy is Multiple choice question. the company's willingness to accept a lower profit margin. the uniqueness of the product or service. the size of the company's targeted buyer group. the length of the value chain.
Answer:
the size of the company's targeted buyer group.
Explanation:
Low cost strategies are used by sellers to gain more patronage of their products. It gives them competitive advantage of having low prices and this will in turn increase sales.
The low-cost provider strategy involves a reduction in prices of all the products a company sells in all locations while still making a profut. An appeal is made to a broad market to attract customers in mass.
The focused low-cost strategy on the other hand involves cost reduction in a targeted niche. It does not appeal to the broad market but rather to a specific customer profile.
So the difference between these two strategies is the size of the company's targeted buyer group.

Explanation:
Burnham Brothers, Inc. has no retained earnings since it has always paid out all of its earnings as dividends This same situation is expected to persist in the future. The company uses CAPM to calculate its cost of equity and its target capital structure consists of common stock, preferred stock, and debt. Which of the following events would reduce its WACC?
a. The flotation costs associated with issuing new common stock increase.
b. The company's beta increases.
c. Expected inflation increases.
d. The market risk premium declines.
Answer: d. The market risk premium declines.
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) takes into account the cost of equity and debt which means that if either of these costs increase, the WACC will increase as well and if any decrease, WACC will follow suit.
Market risk premium is used in the calculation of the cost of equity when using CAPM in the following manner:
= Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
As can be inferred from the above formula, if the market risk premium declines, a lower cost of equity will result which would then reduce the WACC as well.
Consider single-server Q with LIFO (last-infirst-out) services. Suppose that three customers show up at times 5, 6, and 8, and that they all have service times of 4. When does customer 2 leave the system?
a. 3
b. 9
c. 13
d. 17
e. 19a
Answer:
d. 17
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Here the time started i.e. t=0
Therefore there was no customer upto t=5 hour
At t=5
The client first came and as there was no other customer available so we begins service to customer 1
Now
As service off is 4 hour so service to client 1 will end at
t=9 hour.
Also mid-time at t = 6
That means the client 2 came and at t = 8 the client 3 came.
Now at t = 9 the service begins for client 3 and end at t = 13 ( 9 + 4)

The maintenance margin per contract is $1,500. During the next day the futures price falls to $1,008 per unit. What is the balance of your margin account at the end of the day? a. $3,700b. $1,800c. $2,200d. $1,500
Answer:
b. $1800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the balance of your margin account at the end of the day
Margin account balance=$2,000-[100*($1008-$1010)]
Margin account balance=$2,000-(100*$2)

Margin account balance=$1,800
Therefore the balance of your margin account at the end of the day is $1,800
