You own a stock portfolio invested 32 percent in Stock Q, 22 percent in Stock R, 19 percent in Stock S, and 27 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are 1.63, 1.35, 2.56, and 0.68, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)
Answer:
Beta= 1.4886
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You own a stock portfolio invested 32 percent in Stock Q, 22 percent in Stock R, 19 percent in Stock S, and 27 percent in Stock T.
The betas for these four stocks are 1.63, 1.35, 2.56, and 0.68, respectively.
To calculate the portfolio beta, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
Beta= (0.32*1.63) + (0.22*1.35) + (0.19*2.56) + (0.27*0.68)
Beta= 1.4886
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account and $700 a month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total accumulated at the moment of retirement. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
Monthly investment= $1,000
Interest rate= 0.09/12= 0.0075
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {1,000*[(1.0075^300) - 1]} / 0.0075
FV= $1,121,121.94
Bond:
Monthly investment= $700
Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {700*[(1.005^300) - 1]} / 0.005
FV= 485,095.77
Total FV= 1,121,121.94 + 485,095.77
Total FV= $1,606,217.71
Now, the annual withdrawal:
Interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.005833
Number of months= 12*20= 240
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (1,606,217.71*0.005833) / [1 - (1.005833^-240)]
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Menning Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. The company has provided the following data for June:
Direct materials $78,750
Direct labor cost $94,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $61,275
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $65,800
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Work in process $17,500 $19,850
Finished goods $61,500 $38,250
The cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for August and that has been adjusted for any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closest to: __________
a. $254,925
b. $263,975
c. $236,200
d. $259,450
Answer:
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 17,500 + 78,750 + 94,000 + 65,800 - 19,850
cost of goods manufactured= $236,200
Now, the COGS:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 61,500 + 236,200 - 38,250
COGS= $259,450
Finally, the over/under applied overhead and the adjustment:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 61,275 - 65,800
Overapplied overhead= $4,525
As overhead was overapplied, COGS must be reduced:
Adjusted COGS= 259,450 - 4,525
Adjusted COGS= $254,925

Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000
Allocated MOH= $371,882
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882
Underapplied overhead= $8,118
Ortega Company manufactures computer hard drives. The market for hard drives is very competitive. The current market price for a computer hard drive is $54. Ortega would like a profit of $14 per drive. What target cost Ortega should set to accomplish this objective
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost per unit arrived at after having deducted the required profit margin from the competitive market price.
It is a management technique that makes management think about ways to achieve a set target cost rather than forcing their actual cost plus profit margin on customers.
In this case, the competitive market price is $54 per unit of hard drive whereas the company expects to achieve a total profit of $14 per unit
Profit margin per unit=$14
competitive market price=$54
Target cost=competitive market price-profit margin per unit
Target cost=$54-$14
Target cost=$40
Shaq Corporation issued $10,000 of 20-year bonds on January 1, 2021. The bonds pay interest semiannually. This is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds.
Payment Cash Effective interest Decrease in balance Outstanding balance
9,080
1 400 409 9 9,089
2 400 409 9 9,098
3 400 409 9 9,107
4 400 410 10 9,117
What is the effective annual rate of interest on the bonds?
a. 9.0%.
b. 4.5%.
c. 8.0%.
d. 4.0%.
Answer:
The correct option a. 9.0%.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Effective semiannual interest rate = Effective interest / Previous outstanding balance ……………………. (1)
Using Payment 1 information, we have:
Effective semiannual interest rate = 409 / 9,080 = 0.0450, or 4.50%
Effective annual interest rate = Effective semiannual interest rate * Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.50% * 2 = 9.0%
Therefore, the correct option a. 9.0%.
Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine
Answer:
Machine one cost:
= Fixed cost + Variable cost
The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030
= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)
= $3,769 monthly
Machine two cost:
= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)
= $3,615 monthly

XYZ shop has a favorite model that has annual sales of 145. The cost to place an order to replenish inventory is $25 per order, and annual inventory holding cost per unit is $20. Assume the store is open 350 days per year. a. What is the optimal order size
Answer:
EOQ= 19 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 145 units
Order cost= $25 per order
Holding cost= $20.
To calculate the optimal order quantity, we need to use the economic order quantity method:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
EOQ= √[(2*145*25) / 20]
EOQ= √362.5
EOQ= 19 units

Frank Corporation manufactures a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $64,000 per year, and the company must sell 8,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $19,000, sales in units must be:________.a. 9,648b. 8,760c. 10,375d. 10,560
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 10,375
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $25
Fixed cost= $64,000
Break-even point in units= 8,000
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
8,000 = 64,000 / contribution margin per unit
contribution margin per unit8,000= 64,000
contribution margin per unit= 64,000 / 8,000
contribution margin per unit= $8
Now, the number of units to be sold to make a profit of $19,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (64,000 + 19,000) / 8
Break-even point in units= 10,375

External finance needed = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = = $12,610 - $10,448 = $2,088
A taxpayer's spouse dies in August of the current year. Which of the following is the taxpayer's filing status for the current year?
a. Single.
b. Qualified widow(er).
c. Married filing jointly.
d. Head of household.
Answer:
b. Married filling jointly
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about taxpayer's spouse who dies in August of the current year. In this case,
the taxpayer's filing status for the current year would be Married filling jointly. Joint return can be regarded as tax return which is been filed with the Internal Revenue Service by two married taxpayers that decide to have a filing status of "married filing jointly" or a widowed taxpayer that decide to have a filing status of " Qualifying Widow "A joint return give room for the
taxpayers to join their tax liability as well as report their income, credits and
deductions on the same joint return.
The joint return rates still validly
apply even two year after the death of a particular spouse, so far the
surviving spouse of the dead spouse does not remarry and still maintains a household as regards a dependent child.
Given D: Annual use of a particular item, in number of items per year Q: Number of items ordered in one purchase order, in units SS: Safety stock, in units L: Lead time, in fraction of a year I: Current inventory on hand, units Reorder point can be expressed as ______ (x below denotes the multiplication sign).
Answer:
D×L + SS
Explanation:
The reorder point (ROP) is the inventories or stock level for a certain product that, when attained, initiates the reordering of more inventories. The lead time it will take to refill inventories is taken in when computing the reorder points for different stock holding units. This ensures inventory levels do not approach zero.
Computing reorder points necessitates a thorough understanding of purchase habits over a specific time period. The more ROP you compute for each product, the better you'll be able to anticipate future demand and guarantee you're using the reorder quantity calculation appropriately.
From the given information in the question:
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
Reorder point = Demand (D) at the point of leas time (L) with the addition of safety stock (SS)
Reorder point = D×L + SS
Clay is a marketing student learning how to evaluate value propositions for effectiveness. He looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective. What elements did he mostly likely identify as the reasons for their ineffectiveness?
Answer: they were generic, and they had no unique value communicated
Explanation:
Value proposition refers to the promise
that's made by an organization to its customers indicating why a product should be bought.
Since Clay looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective, the reason attributed to this will be due to the fact that the propositions were generic, and had no unique value communicated.
Explain whether each of the following statements is true or false.

Maxim Corp. has provided the following information about one of its products:Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit1/1 Beginning Inventory 285 $ 157 6/5 Purchase 485 $ 177 11/10 Purchase 185 $ 217 During the year, Maxim sold 570 units.What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method? (Do not round intermediate computations.)
Answer:
$101,904.6
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold using the average cost method is shown below:
Beginnig Inventory 285 at $157 = $44,745
Purchases 485 at $177 = $85,845
Purchases 185 at $217 = $40,145
Total cost = $170,735
Now
Total number of units is
= 285 + 485 + 185
= 955
Now
Average Cost per unit is
= $170,735 ÷ 955
=$ 178.78
And, finally
Cost of goods Sold is
= 570 × $178.78

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not attach the text, we can comment on the quote.
"The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.”
This quote means that good managers motivate and positively influence employees to get the job done. Managers coordinate and monitor the work of the employees. Managers first plan, then establish the goals to be accomplished and then direct the work effort to be productive.
If I were a manager of a company, I definitely try to emulate what the quote says. For instance, the manager of a recreational and sports club. I would do everything to establish clear, specific, and attainable goals so my employees could understand them. Then I describe the role and responsibilities of each employee so they can do their job without any doubts. And of course, I would delegate so they can do their jobs happily. No unnescesary intromissions. The objective would be to offer the best service possible to our clients.
A company is interested in developing a quarterly aggregate production plan but they are not sure if a level strategy with backorders or a chase strategy would be better. They have the following information available regarding their production operation: Hiring Cost (per unit increase) $40 Firing (per unit decrease) $80 Inventory Cost (per unit) $40 Stockout (per unit) $150 Production (Labor) cost (per unit) $30 Subcontracting cost (per unit) $60 Previous quarter's production 1300 Previous quarter's ending inventory 0 Quarter forecasts are 4000, 3000, 4000 and 5000, respectively. Suppose that you want to use a level plan with backorders (one that produces at the average demand over the four quarters). What is the ending inventory in Quarter 2
Answer:
1000 units
Explanation:
Average demand over the next 4 quarters = (4000 + 3000 + 4000 + 5000) / 4
Average demand over the next 4 quarters = 16000 / 4
Average demand over the next 4 quarters = 4000
That is, as per the Level plan, 4000 units shall be produced in each of the next 4 quarters.
Quarter 1
Beginning Inventory = 0
Production = 4000
Demand = 4000
Ending Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Production) - Demand
Ending Inventory = (0 + 4000) - 4000
Ending Inventory = 4000 - 4000
Ending Inventory = 0 units
Quarter 2
Beginning Inventory = 0
Production = 4000
Demand = 3000
Ending Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Production) - Demand
Ending Inventory = (0 + 4000) - 3000
Ending Inventory = 4000 - 3000
Ending Inventory = 1000 units
