You are given the following data Stock A Expected return 8.00% Standard deviation 23.00% Stock B Expected return 7.50% Standard deviation 33.00% The correlation of Stock A and Stock B is 0.05. What is the variance of risky portfolio P with 43% in Stock A and the rest in Stock B
Answer:
Variance of risky portfolio P = 4.61%
Explanation:
WA = Weight of stock A = 43%, or 0.43
WB = Weight of stock B = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57
SA = Standard deviation of stock A = 23%, or 0.23
SB = Standard deviation of stock B = 33%, or 0.33
Cab = Correlation of Stock A and Stock B = 0.05
Therefore, we have:
Variance of risky portfolio P = (WA^2 * SA^2) + (WB^2 * SB^2) + (WA * SA * WB * SB * Cab) = (0.43^2 * 0.23^2) + (0.57^2 * 0.33^2) + (0.43 * 0.23 * 0.57 * 0.33 * 0.05) = 0.0461, or 4.61%

American Industries' outstanding bonds have a 25-year maturity and $1,000 par value. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%, they pay interest semiannually, and they sell at a price of $850. What is the bond's nominal coupon interest rate
Answer:
7.71%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the bond's nominal coupon interest rate
First step is to determine the PMT using Financial calculator
FV = $1,000
N= 25 × 2 = 50 periods ( semi-annual)
i/y=9.25/2=4.63
PV= - 850
PMT=?
Hence,
PMT=38.55
Second step is to calculate the Annual coupon Payment
Annual coupon Payment =38.55x2
Annual coupon Payement= 77.10
Now let determine the bond's nominal coupon interest rate using this formula
Nominal coupon rate= Annual coupon payment/par value
Let plug in the formula
Nominal coupon rate=77.10/1000
Nominal coupon rate=7.71%
Therefore the bond's nominal coupon interest rate is 7.71%
Bob sells the vegetables he grows in a farmer's market. Bob is a little disorganized and has been looking for a good way to track his sales. If Bob creates a database to track the sales of vegetables, what is the appropriate relationship between orders and products?
Answer:
The appropriate relationship between orders and products is a one-to-many relationship.
Explanation:
A one-to-many relationship simply means that one order by a customer can be for many products, vegetables in this instance. When Bob receives a customer's order for products, the customer may order more than one type of vegetables because customers buying vegetables always love variety. Therefore, the database to track the sales of vegetables may need to track one order to various datasets containing the customer's order.

Wilson's is reviewing a project with an internal rate of return of 13.09 percent and a beta of 1.42. The market risk premium is 8.1 percent, the tax rate is 35 percent, and the risk-free rate is 2.9 percent. The firm's WACC is 12.68 percent. Will the project be accepted if the WACC is used as the discount rate for the project
Answer:
Yes, The project will be accepted.
Explanation:
Projects should be accepted when their internal rate of return is greater than the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). The WACC represents the cost or risk of the company so if the return is greater than the risk, then this will be favorable.

(Click the icon to view the information.)
First, compute cost of goods manufactured.
Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured
Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory $42,000
Direct Materials Used:
Beginning Direct Materials $28,000 Purchases of Direct Materials 70,000
Direct Materials Available for Use 98,000 Ending
Direct Materials (30,000)
Direct Materials Used $68,000
Direct Labor 86,000
Manufacturing Overhead 38,000
Total Manufacturing Costs Incurred during the Year 192,000
Total Manufacturing Costs to Account For 234,000
Ending Work-in-Process Inventory (35,000)
Cost of Goods Manufactured $199,000
Now compute cost of goods sold.
Cost of Goods Sold Direct Materials Available for Use 98000 Cost of Goods Manufactured 199000
Cost of Goods Available for Sale
Total Operating Costs
Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured using the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 42,000 + (28,000 + 70,000 - 30,000) + 86,000 + 38,000 - 35,000
cost of goods manufactured= $199,000
Now, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
We do not have information regarding the beginning and ending finished goods inventory. But, suppose the beginning inventory equals $45,000 and the ending inventory $30,000:
COGS= 45,000 + 199,000 - 30,000
COGS= $214,000
On June 5, Staley Electronics purchases 100 units of inventory on account for $10 each. After closer examination, Staley determines 20 units are defective and returns them to its supplier for full credit on June 9. All remaining inventory is sold on account on June 16 for $15 each.Required:Record transactions for the purchase, return, and sale of inventory.
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
First, we have:
Units of inventory purchased = 100
Units of inventory returned = 20
Units of inventory sold = Units of inventory purchased - Units of inventory returned = 100 - 20 = 80
Therefore, the journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
June 5 Inventory (100 * $10) 1,000
Accounts payable 1,000
(To inventory purchased on account.)
June 9 Accounts payable (20 * $10 ) 200
Inventory 200
(To record inventory return.)
June 16 Account receivable (80 * $15) 1,200
Sales 1200
(To record sales on account.)
Cost of goods sold (80 * $10) 800
Inventory 800
(To record cost of goods sold on account)

Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1,250 in 3 years
Answer:
$1,101.32
Explanation:
Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula
A = P ( 1 + rt)
where:
A = final account balance
P = starting balance
r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100
t = years
Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.
1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))
1,250 = P * 1.135 ... divide both sides by 1.135
1,101.32 = P
Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.
What IHRM activities would be pertinent to the sending, by Médecins Sans Frontieres, of a medical team into a country such as Bangladesh?
Answer:
Human resource management is responsible for strategically managing labor relations in an organization so that its goals and objectives are achieved. The HR department is responsible for providing employees with working conditions, training and ideal remuneration so that the work is carried out in a legal, fair and ethical manner, so that there is an organizational culture in the company that favors communication and interpersonal relationships.
In the case of sending an average team to a country like Bangladesh, it would be necessary for HRM to play an essential role in meeting the needs of its employees in a foreign country, considering that Bangladesh is a country with extreme conditions of poverty and social inequality, the medical team should be well prepared by HR with adequate support and training to deal with adverse conditions such as lack of social security, poverty, epidemics, and other relevant and culturally distinct issues, so that the team does not face a reality shock that makes it difficult to work and the achievement of the proposed objectives.
At a sales volume of 34,000 units, Carne Company's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $741,200. To the nearest whole dollar, what should be the total sales commissions at a sales volume of 32,300 units
Answer: $704,140
Explanation:
Find the rate of commission per sales first:
= Commission / Number of units sold
= 741,200 / 34,000
= $21.80 commission per unit
If there are 32,300 units, the commission will be:
= 32,300 * 21.80

The net present value of the project is closest to:
Answer:
$144,128
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what net present value of the project is closest to:
Initial investment = $250,000
Annual cash flow = $119,000
Expected life of project (n) = 4 years
Discount rate (i) = 8%
First step is to calculate the Present value of cash flows using this formula
Present value of cash flows = Annual cash flow x Present value annuity factor (i%, n)
Let plug in the formula
Present value of cash flows= 119000 x Present value annuity factor (8%, 4)
Present value of cash flows= 119,000 x 3.312
Present value of cash flows= $394,128
Now let determine the Net present value using this formula
Net present value = Present value of cash flows - Initial investment
Let plug in the formula
Net present value= $394,128 - $250,000
Net present value=$144,128
Therefore net present value of the project is closest to:$144,128
When moving up along an existing supply curve, all variables other than price are
O increasing
decreasing
O held constant
O fluctuating
When moving up along an existing supply curve, all variables other than price are held constant. Hence, Option (C) is correct.
When analyzing a supply curve, economists typically assume that all other variables except price remain constant.
This assumption allows for a simplified analysis of the relationship between price and quantity supplied, isolating the impact of price changes on supply.
In reality, numerous factors influence supply, such as input costs, technology, government regulations, and producer expectations.
However, when studying the impact of price on supply, economists use the concept of ceteris paribus (all other things being equal) to hold these other factors constant and focus solely on the relationship between price and quantity supplied.
Thus, by assuming that all other variables are constant, economists can create a simplified model that helps understand the basic behavior of supply and the upward-sloping nature of the supply curve.

What is a bond?A bond is a sort of security used in finance where the issuer owes the holder a debt and is required, depending on the terms, to repay the principal and interest on the bond at the maturity date.
The interest is typically due at predetermined intervals, such semiannually, annually, and less frequently at various times.
A bond is therefore a type of loan or IOU. With the help of bonds, the borrower can finance long-term investments or, in the case of government bonds, current expenses.
Although both stocks and bonds are considered securities, stockholders have an equity ownership in a corporation, whereas bondholders have a creditor stake.
Bondholders have precedence over stockholders in terms of debt. In the event of bankruptcy, they will receive payment before stockholders but after secured creditors.
Another distinction is that, unlike stocks, which often have an unlimited shelf life, bonds typically have a defined term, or maturity, after which the bond is repaid.

If the total costs of producing 1,500 units of output is $13,500 and this output sold to consumers for a total of $18,000, then the firm would earn economic profits of
Answer:
$4500
Explanation:
The Economic profit is the difference between the total revenue and the explicit and implicit cost.
Hence,
Economic profit = (Total revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost)
Explicit cost =$13500
Total revenue = $18,000
Since, implicit cost isn't given, implicit cost will be taken as zero
Hence,
Economic profit = ($18,000 - $13,500)
Economic profit = $4,500
The financial records of ABC Partnership reflect the following capital account balances:
Arthur $150,000
Beatrice 350,000
Charles 100,000
Arthur, Beatrice, and Charles share equally in profits and losses. On January 1, Charles meets with Arthur and Beatrice and decides to withdraw from the partnership in return for a cash payment of $100,000.
What is the balance in Arthur's capital account after Charles' withdraw and distribution of $100,000?
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
Charles's capital account balance is worth $100,000 which is exactly the amount of cash that will be given to him when he exits the partnership. There ware no bonuses to be given as a result.
Because of this, the other partners will keep the same capital account balances as before Charles left. Had it been that they had to pay Charles more than what his account balance was worth, the bonus would have been paid by the two remaining partners from their capital account balances.
