Consider the following information and then calculate the required rate of return for the Global Investment Fund, which holds 4 stocks. The market’s required rate of return is 13.25%, the risk-free rate is 7.00%, and the Fund’s assets are as follows:(hint: market beta =1.0) Stock Investment Beta A $ 200,000 1.50 B 300,000 −0.50 C 500,000 1.25 D $1,000,000 0.75

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11.77%

Explanation:

total investment = $200,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000 = $2,000,000

stock    weight                                         beta             total

A          $200,000 / $2,000,000             1.5               0.15

B          $300,000 / $2,000,000             -0.5            -0.075

C          $500,000 / $2,000,000             1.25            0.3125

D          $1,000,000 / $2,000,000           0.75           0.375

Portfolio                                                                       0.7625

required rate of return = Rf + beta(Rm - Rf) = 7% + 0.7625(13.25% - 7%) = 11.7656% = 11.77%

Answers

What is the yield to maturity of a five-year, $5000 bond with a 4.5% coupon rate and semi-annual coupons if this bond is currently trading for a price of $4876?

A) 6.30%

B) 4.50%

C) 4.30%

D) 5.07%

E) 8.60%

Answer:

5.07%

Explanation:

Given the following parameters from the question:

Number of years = 5

N => Number of compounding periods = 5 * 2 = 10

FV => Face Value = $5,000

PV => Present Value = $4876

Percentage rate = 4.5%

PMT => Annuity Payment = Face Value * percentage

=> 5,000 * 0.045 = 225

Given that, it is semi annual rate, we have 225 / 2 = 112.5

CPT YTM or I/Y => Yield to Maturity = 2.53 * 2 = 5.07%

Hence, the final answer is 5.07%

Determine for each year (1) the working capital, (2) the current ratio, and (3) the quick ratio. Round ratios to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

1. Previous Year =  $1,820,000, Current Year = $2,550,000

2. Previous Year = 3.80 times , Current Year = 4.40 times

3. Previous Year = 2.70 times,  Current Year = 3.00 times

Explanation:

working capital = current assets - current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 - $650,000

                                                    = $1,820,000

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 - $750,000

                                                    = $2,550,000

Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 3.80 times

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 4.40 times

Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = ($2,470,000 - 674,100) ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 2.70 times

working capital (Previous Year) = ($3,300,000 - 1,039,500) ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 3.00 times

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $14,898.07

Explanation:

Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.

Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:

PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)

= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07

Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

Jerry deposited $10,000 in a bank account, and 10 years later he closes out the account, which is worth $18,000. The annual rate of interest that Jerry has earned over the 10 years is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

r=  6.054% per year

Explanation:

given that

principal P=  $10,000

final amount A= $18,000

time t= 10 years

To find the annual rate we will use the formula below and solve for r

[tex]r = [(\frac{A}{P} )^\frac{1}{t} - 1][/tex]

Substituting our data into the expression and solving for r we have

[tex]r = [(\frac{18000}{10000} )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\r={1.06054-1}\\\\r= 0.06054[/tex]  

Calculate rate of interest in percent

r = 0.06054* 100

Production= 100

To calculate the beginning inventory, we need to use the following formula:

Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $153,576,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?

Answers

Answer:

$153,576,000

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has sold maximum number of units that it can in the year. If it desires to sell all of its stock then it will have to decrease the cost of the product to increase the demand of the product. The least level of cost that the company can charge will be its finished goods recorded value which is the price at which the company breakevens.

Hence the additional sales would be $153,576,000 which is the carrying worth of inventory.

Next week, Mortimer is preparing to go to work for the Illinois department of Child Services. He was surprised when his friends told him that he was going to have to pay one percent of his salary to the union that represents the unionized workers that would include Mortimer, whether he joined the union or not - a so-called agency fee to prevent 'free riders'. This was for services provided to Mortimer, including collective bargaining and grievance representation. Mortimer was shocked - no one had told him about this! What advice would you provide to Mortimer?

Answers

Answer:

The implication is that the Illinois Department of Child Services is a unionized workplace.

Mortimer will derive better benefits that surpass the costs of membership.  He is covered in all collective bargains, even when he resigns his union membership.  Unions negotiate for better working conditions, higher pays, and improved benefits.

When Mortimer has any grievance against the department, the union will also represent him, thereby making his life easier since unions can negotiate better with employers than individual workers.

Mortimer is even lucky to find a job at a unionized workplace because the jobs are not usually advertised as union members easily bring in their relatives and friends to occupy such vacancies.

Explanation:

Most of the disadvantages that Mortimer should complain about unions are disadvantages to the employer and not to him as an individual worker.  For the employer, the union acts as a form of monopoly that can decide whether the workers would work or not.  The unionized workers are not easy to replace with other workers.

A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1​% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9​%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2​%, what will happen to the price of the​ bond?

Answers

Answer:

The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.

Explanation:

bond's current market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35

$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54

current market price = $3,928.89

if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80

$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01

current market price = $3,856.81

The Value of  inventory that was destroyed is $4,862,000.

A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:

Answers

Answer:

-$400 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)

= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)

= $14,000 - $14,400

= -$400 unfavorable

Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.

he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%

geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%

Explanation:

share price at the beginning = $50

time = 3 year

price at the end of year 1 =  $62

price at the end of year 2 = $58

price at the end of year 3 =  $64

Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%

Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%

Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100  = 10.34%

Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3

Arithmetic average rate of return =  (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3

Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%

geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1

= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1  =  8.58%

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .

Answers

Answer:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.

The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.

The answers to the questions in the context are:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).

It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.

 

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier:

Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Therefore,

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Suppose your yearly demand for renting DVDs is Q = 20 − 4P. If there is a rental club that charges $2 per rental plus an annual membership fee, what is the most that you would be willing to pay for the annual membership fee?

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

If P = $2 then the Q will be;

Q = 20 - 4 * 2

Q = 20 - 8

Q = 12

The maximum annual membership fee will be equal to the amount of demand. The annual membership fee cannot be greater than the demand function if so there will be decline in the demand.

Correct Answer:

a.qualitative factors.

Explanation:

Capital investment analysis is the process by which management plans, evaluates, and controls long-term investment decisions involving fixed assets. For example, in a situation where a decision was taken to install new equipment, replace old equipment, and purchase or construct a new building.

Answer:

d.the age of the current fixed assets.

Suppose that we have the following information concerning the government's finances and the macroeconomy for a given year: Government Debt: $12 trillion Inflation: 10% Nominal Deficit: $1.5 trillion What is the real deficit for the year

Answers

Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)

= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion

= $300 billion

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $11,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price $144

Units sold 8,950

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $26

Direct labor $68

Variable manufacturing overhead $14

Variable selling and administrative expense $18

Total variable cost= $126

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $140,250

Fixed selling and administrative expense $9,600

Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 8,950*144= 1,288,800

Total variable cost= (126*8,950)= (1,127,700)

Contribution margin= 161,100

Acme Company’s production budget for August is 17,700 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $6.0; direct labor, $10.2; variable overhead, $6.2. Budgeted fixed overhead is $34,000. Actual production in August was 18,630 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.40; direct labor, $9.60; variable overhead, $7.00. Actual fixed overhead was $35,700. The standard fixed overhead application rate per unit consists of $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time.Required:Calculate the fixed overhead budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Answers

Answer:

a. $1,700 U

b. $3,260 F

Explanation:

a. Fixed over head budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead

Actual fixed overhead = $35,700

Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000

Fixed overhead budget variance = $35,700 - $34,000

= $1,700 U

b. Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Standard fixed overhead

Standard fixed overhead application rate = $2 per machine hr × 1hr

= $2

Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000

Standard fixed overhead = Standard hours for actual output × Budgeted rate

= (18,630 units × 1hr) × $2

= $37,260

Fixed overhead volume variance

= $34,000 - $37,260

= 3,260 F

A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $56,600. It is estimated to cost $339,600.

Required:
Determine the cash payback period.

Answers

Answer:

It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $56,600

Initial investment= 339,600

The payback period is the time required for the cash flow to cover the initial investment:

Year 1= 56,600 - 339,600= -283,000

Year 2= 56,600 - 283,000= -226,400

Year 3= 56,600 - 226,400= -169,800

Year 4= 56,600 - 169,800= -113,200

Year 5= 56,600 - 113,200= -56,600

Year 6= 56,600 - 56,600= 0

It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
