Other things equal, diversification is most effective when Group of answer choices Securities returns are uncorrelated. Securities' returns are high. Both securities' returns are positively correlated and securities' returns are high. Securities' returns are positively correlated. You hold equal proportions of each security in a portfolio.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Securities returns are uncorrelated.

Explanation:

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Non systemic risk are risks that can be diversified away. they are also called company specific risk. Examples of this type of risk is a manager engaging in fraudulent activities.

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables

In order to achieve the highest benefit of diversification, there should be no relationship between the assets in the portfolio

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the requirement are omitted. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Answers

Answer:

$121,200

Explanation:

The gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement can be determined as :

Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Sales

where,

Net Sales = Sales - Sales Discounts -  Sales Returns and Allowances

                =  $ 250,000 -  $1,500 -  $2,300

                =  $246,200

therefore,

Gross Profit = $246,200 - $125,000

                    = $121,200

A jogger found a stray dog in the park. She took the dog home with her and placed an ad in the paper to try to find the dog's owner. Soon thereafter, the owner of the dog contacted the jogger. He came to the jogger's home and identified the dog as his. He offered to pay the jogger a $200 reward at the end of the week. The jogger thanked the dog owner but turned down the reward. At the end of the week, however, the jogger changed her mind, so she called the dog owner and told him that she would like the reward after all. He refused to pay her, and she sues him for breach of contract. What will the jogger recover?

Answers

Answer:

The jogger will recover nothing.

Explanation:

The jogger in the context will gain nothing as her [tex]\text{finding the lost dog occurred prior to the owner's promise}[/tex] for the payment of an amount $200.

The enforceable contract is supported by consideration. It consists of bargained for the exchange between the parties. If somethings has already [tex]\text{been given or performed before the promise is made}[/tex], then it will not satisfy the bargain requirement as it will not give in exchange for the promise.

In this case, in the exchange it is not given for the promise, so the jogger was not under any legal obligation for returning the lost dog to its rightful owner.

Thus, the jogger incurred a detriment. The jogger was not been inducted to as to act by the owner of the dog to pay the promised amount of $200.

Three months into the contract, Freddy calls Jerry And tells Jerry that the price has gone up to $70a month because Freddy’s product is in such high demand. Jerry refuses to pay. Jerry finds a new supplier, Wally, who will provide one case of water for 9 months at a cost of $50a case. Jerry sues Freddy for breach of contract. What type of damages is Jerry’s Gym entitled to and how much money does Freddy have to pay Jerry’s Gym

Answers

Answer:

-jerry is entitled to monetary damages compensations due to a contract breach.

-Freddy has to pay Jerry $90

Explanation:

the damage that the gym is entitled to would be that of a contract breach. Freddy wanted to earn more money so he breached the contract. Now given that Jerry had to go with another supplier of water at a greater cost of 50 dollars for 9 months, just to satisfy his requirements. Freddy has to pay him monetary damages for this breach in contract.  he has to pay the difference that exists between the price in the contract they had and what jerry now has to pay due to the breach. The difference is 10 dollars, which is to be paid every month for 9 months

= (50 - 40)*9

= 10 * 9 = $90

There is a proverb​ "anything worth doing is worth doing​ well."   Do you think an economist would agree with this​ proverb? A. ​No, because doing something well has no next best alternatives with which to compare. B. ​Yes, because the marginal of extra effort is typically as effort increases. C. ​Yes, because doing something to the best of your ability is optimizing behavior. D. ​No, because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit. E. ​, because the total net benefit of extra effort is by definition.

Answers

Answer:

D. ​No, because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit.

Explanation:

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.

Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.

Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.

This ultimately implies that, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.

Furthermore, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.

Hence, an economist wouldn't agree with the proverb (anything worth doing is worth doing well.) because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit.

This ultimately implies that, the satisfaction that an individual such as an entrepreneur would derive from putting in more efforts into a business would be lesser than the cost incurred. As a result, he would not benefit anything or generate profit from his efforts.

Stocks have a 12% expected return and 22% risk. Bonds have a 7% expected return and 10% risk. The expected return of a portfolio comprised of 70% stocks and 30% bonds is: Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

10.5%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine Expected return of portfolio

Using this formula

Expected return of portfolio = Ws*E(rs) + Wb*E(rb)

Where,

Expected return stock E(rs) = 12%

Expected return bond E(rb) = 7%

Weight of stock Ws = 0.70

Weight of bond Wb = 0.30

Let plug in the formula

Expected return of portfolio= 0.7*12 + 0.3*7

Expected return of portfolio = 10.5%

Therefore Expected return of portfolio is 10.5%

Green Thumb Nursery has 32,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $62.15 per share. The earnings per share are $3.15. The firm has total assets of $315,000 and total liabilities of $186,000. Today, the firm announced a share repurchase for $75,000 of its stock. What is the earnings per share after the repurchase?

Answers

Answer:

$3.27

Explanation:

Earnings = Earnings per share * Number of stock outstanding

Earnings = $3.15 * 32,000 shares

Earnings = $100,800

Number of shares repurchased = $75,000 / $62.15

Number of shares repurchased = 1206.75784393

Number of shares repurchased = 1,207

Number of stock outstanding = 32,000 - 1,207

Number of stock outstanding = 30,793

Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = Earnings / Number of stock outstanding

Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $100,800 / 30,793

Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.2734712435

Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.27

Determine the value today of one of these bonds to an investor who requires a 14% rate of return on these securities. Is it a discount or premium bond and why

Answers

Answer:

$897

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the value today

Using Financial calculator to determine the Present value (PV)

N = (12- 2) = 10 years

I = 14%

PMT =12%*1,000=120

FV = $1000

PV=?

Hence;

PV = $896.68

PV=$897 (Approximately)

Therefore the value today is $897

Explanation:

A 15-year semi-annual coupon bond pays a coupon rate of 7%. The par value of the bond is $1,000. If similar bonds are currently yielding 6%, what is the market value of the bond

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price​= $1,098.01

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Coupon= (0.07/2)*1,000= $35

YTM= 0.06/2= 0.03

n= 15*2= 30

Face value= $1,000

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 35*{[1 - (1.03^-30)] / 0.03} + (1,000 / (1.03^30)]

Bond Price​= 686.02 + 411.99

Bond Price​= $1,098.01

Two alternate plans are available for increasing the capacity of existing water transmission lines between an unlimited source and a reservoir. The unlimited source is at a higher elevation then the reservoir. Plan A calls for the construction of a parallel pipeline and flow by gravity. Plan B specifies construction of a booster pumping station. Estimated cost for the two plans are as follows: Hint: Use Present Worth- (do not guess show all your work) i=10%
Plan A : Cost $700,000, Life 40 Years, Annual Operation and Repair $1,000/Year
Plan B: Cost $200,000, Life 40 Years Structure and 20 years equipment, Equipment replacement at the end of 20 years $75,000, Annual Operation and Repairs 52,000/year
a. Plan A $709,779.00
b. Plan A $740,000
c. Plan B $710,165.50
d. Plan B $326,000

Answers

Answer:

plan a

Explanation:

present worth of plan A= 700000+1000(p/a,10%,40)

= 700000+1000*9.779

= 700000+9779

= 709779 dollars

present worth of plan b = 200000+75000(p/f,10%,20)+52000/year(p/a,10%,40)

= 200000+75000*0.1486+52000*9.779

= 719653 dollars.

we compare the  pw of both a and b, from the solutions above, the present worth of plan a is smaller than that of plan b, so the best option is plan a, $709,779.00

The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:

Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,940 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room

Required:
Determine the innâs break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost and the total unitary variable cost:

Total fixed cost= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance

Total fixed cost= 7,500 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 2,940

Total fixed cost= $12,540

Total unitary variable cost= 24 + 46

Total unitary variable cost= $70

As the unitary contribution margin is negative (65 - 70), the company will never break even. I will assume that the selling price is incorrect, and the room costs $85:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 12,450 / (85 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 830

What would be the return on total assets of a firm if net income is $50,000, total sales are $100,000, and total assets are $175,000

Price Corp. is considering selling to a group of new customers and creating new annual sales of $90,000. Five percent will be uncollectible. The collection cost on all accounts is 3% of new sales, the cost of producing and selling is 80% of sales, and the firm is in the 30% tax bracket. What is the profit on new sales

Answers

Answer: $7,560

Explanation:

Before tax Profit = Net sales - Cost of production

Net sales = Sales collected - Cost of collection

= (90,000 * (1 - 5%)) - (90,000 * 3%)

= $82,800

Cost of production = 80% * 90,000

= $72,000

Before tax profit = 82,800 - 72,000

= $10,800

After tax profit = 10,800 * ( 1 - 30%)

= $7,560

According to the authors, price controls on water, designed to ensure that lower income people can afford water, have resulted in

Answers

Answer: a. a reduced supply of usable water

Explanation:

I am unsure as to the text being referred to but this should be the correct answer.

The market allocates resources efficiently based on price. This means that it sets the price such that people who can afford the goods are able to buy them. This ensures that not everybody gets the good and the good can be sustainably used.

If the government imposes price controls on a good as they did here. The market would be unable to efficiently allocate the water so more people than before would be able to access it. This would lead to the supply being used up so there will be a reduced supply of the good which in this case is water.

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: a. indirect labor b. manufacturing overhead c. a period cost d. a conversion cost e. a product cost

Answers

Answer:

c. a period cost

Explanation:

Option C, period cos is the correct answer because the period cost is not related to the production and manufacturing of the commodity. Rather it is the cost incurred outside the factory such as marketing expenses, travelling expenses, etc. Therefore, the option "period cost" is the correct answer.  

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: c. a period cost

Period costs are indirect costs incurred in the production of goods and services. These costs are not tied directly to production processes.

Unlike product costs that are assigned to one particular product, Period costs are not assigned to one particular product or the cost of inventory.

Period costs are also not included in the inventory valuation hence are treated as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Other examples of Period costs includes: marketing expenses, indirect labor etc.
