Suppose you invest equal amounts in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 18% and a risk-free asset with an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.

The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;

= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)

= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)

= 8% + 2%

= 10%

An investor buys a $1,000 par TIPS security with 3 years to maturity, a semiannual coupon, and a 4.25% coupon rate. If inflation over the next 6 months is 2.50%, what will be the first coupon payment that the TIPS investor will receive?

Answers

Answer:

$1,184.34

Explanation:

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * (1+2.50%) ^ (3*2)

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.025^6

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.159693

Adjusted face value = $1,159.693

Final payment = Coupon + Adjusted principal

= 1,159.693 * (4.25%/2) + 1,159.693

= 1,159.693 * 0.02125 + 1,159.693

= 24.6435 + 1,159.693

= 1,184.3365

= $1,184.34

Explanation:

Assume the annual retention rate for a cell phone subscriber is 70 percent and the customer generates $300 per year in profit. Assuming an annual discount rate of 8 percent, compute the value of a customer.

Answers

Answer:

The value of a customer is $193.2.

Explanation:

The value of the customer can be calculated by considering the profit they generate, retention rate, and the discount.

Value of a customer = Profit per year * Retention rate * (1 - discount)

Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * (1 - 0.08)

Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * 0.92

Value of a customer = 193.2

Thus, the value of a customer is $193.2.

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government _______________ results in ______________ interest rates, causing ______________ in private spending on investment and consumer durables.

Answers

Answer: Deficit; higher; a decrease

Explanation:

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government deficit results in higher interest rates, causing a decrease in private spending on investment and consumer durables.

The Crowding-out effect is what happens when a Government increases its spending past its revenues and gets a budget deficit. In other to balance its books therefore it will borrow heavily.

If the Government is such a large one like the American Government or the British Government, the borrowing might be so large that it will have the effect of reducing the amount of loanable funds in the market thereby increasing the interest rates due to a reduced supply of loanable funds.

As there are now increased interest rates, it will be more expensive for companies to borrow to spend on investment or for consumers to spend on durables. It will have the effect of crowding out the private sector.

Pfd Company has debt with a yield to maturity of 7.5%, a cost of equity of 13.5%, and a cost of preferred stock of 9.5%. The market values of its debt, preferred stock, and equity are $10.5 million, $3.5 million, and $24.5 million, respectively, and its tax rate is 40%. What is this firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

As we know that:

WACC = Ke * Ve / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))

+   Kd * Vd*(1-tax) / (Ve + Vpref + Vd*(1-Tax))

  +   Kpref * Vpref / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))

Here

Ke is 13.5%

Pre tax Kd is 7.5%

Kpref is 9.5%

Ve is value of equity and is $24.5 million

Vpref is value of equity $3.5 million

Vd is $10.5 million

Tax rate is 40%

By putting the values, we have:

WACC =       13.5% *$24.5 / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

                   + 7.5% * (1-40%) * $45m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

                   + 9.5% * $3.5m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

WACC = 0.045 * 0.273   +   0.095 * 0.091  +  0.135 * 0.636

= 10.68%

Aakash has a liability of 6000 due in four years. This liability will be met with payments of A in two years and B in six years. Aakash is employing a full immunization strategy using an annual effective interest rate of 5%. Calculate ∣∣A−B∣∣.

Answers

Answer:

∣A−B∣ = 586.411

Explanation:

The effective interest rate is 0.05 so at the end of a year total amount will be 1.05 multiplied by principal

Liability = 6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = Asset

Therefore

6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = (A ÷ 1.05^2) + (B ÷ 1.05^6) (equation 1)

Multiply through by 1.05^6

6000(1.05^2) = A(1.05^4) + B

B = 6000(1.05^2) - A(1.05^4) (equation 2)

Finding differential from equation 1

4= 2((A ÷ 1.05^2) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4)) + 6(B ÷ 1.05^6) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4))

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^4) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^2) +6 (B ÷ 1.05^6)

Multiply through by 1.05^6

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6B

Substitute value of B from equation 2

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6 *6000(1.05^2) - 6*A(1.05^4)

A= 2721.0884

Substitute A in equation 2

B = 6000(1.05^2) - 2721.0884(1.05^4)

B= 3307.5

∣A−B∣ = |2721.0884 - 3307.5|

∣A−B∣ = 586.411

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.

Total wages were:

= hourly wage rate * total hours spent on returns for the month

For example, if the hourly wage rate is $50 and the total hours spent on the returns equal 560 hours, the total wages will be equal to $28,000 ($50 x 560).

Explanation:

The Tax Services' total wages will be equal to the hourly wage rate multiplied by the total hours spent on returns during the month.  The total hours spent on the returns for the month is obtained by adding up the hours spent on all the returns.  The total wages depend on the hours worked and the standard wage rate that has been established in the firm.

Given money demand, by how much would the Moola central bank need to change the money supply to close the output gap?

Answers

Answer:

A. 5%

B. $20

C.-$20

D. $100 increase

E.$2

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the equilibrium interest rate in Moola

When we look at the table we would actually see that Money supply amount of $500 equal the Money demand amount of $500 which means that the equilibrium interest rate will be 5 percent.

b. The level of investment at the equilibrium interest rate.

Since we have 5% as the equilibrium interest rate which means that the investment at the equilibrium interest rate will be $20.

c. If we look at table we are going to see that the potential GDP of the amount of $330 and the actual GDP of the amount of $350 are beside the interest rate of 5 percent and we could as well see that actual GDP is lower than potential GDP which means that there is negative recessionary GDP gap.

Hence,

Recessionary GDP gap= Actual GDP - Potential GDP

Recessional GDP gap=Actual GDP $330- Potential GDP=-$20

Therefore-$20 will be the recessionary GDP gap.

d. In order for us to eliminate the recessionary gap, so that actual GDP amount can equal potential GDP , this means we have to increase the money supply to the amount of $600 which will inturn lead to an increase of $100

e. Calculation for the expenditure multiplier,

Expenditure multiplier=(Potential GDP $350-Actual GDP $330)/($20-$10)

Expenditure multiplier=$20/10

Expenditure multiplier=$2

Therefore the Expenditure multiplier will be $2

The question is incomplete as the table is not given.

In economics, demand and supply are the most important factors for any business to analyze the market. There is an inverse relationship between demand and supply. If the demand is high and supply is low then there will be higher prices of the goods.

The Moola central bank needs to change the supply of money by increasing $100 to close the output gap.

Reason:

In order to make the actual GDP amount to be equal to the potential GDP, that means by increasing the money supply of $600 will give the effect of $100 for covering the gap.

Investment in human capital is very similar to investing in physical capital. True or false? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

This statement is true because investing in human capital and physical capital has the similarity that these assets will lead the organization to carry out its processes, achieve its objectives and goals, and generate liquidity, therefore the similarity is in the importance of capital for the organization.

Human capital can be more difficult to measure, as it is intangible, and physical capital is easier to measure and analyze what the return provides for organizational activities.

However, there are ways to measure how human capital positively impacts the company, so it is necessary to have an effective management that provides the best investment of the ideal human and physical capital for your needs.

The incredible shrinking​ $50 bill in 1957 was worth​ $50, but in 2007 it is worth only ​$. a. What was the compounded average annual inflation rate​ (loss of purchasing​ power) during this period of​ time? b. Fifty dollars invested in the stock market in 1957 was worth ​$ in 2007. In view of your answer to Part​ (a), what was the annual real interest rate earned on this​ investment?

Answers

Answer:

A. 4.02%

B. 3.49%

Explanation:

a. Computation of the compounded average annual inflation rate​ during this period of​ time

Using this formula

Annual inflation rate=FV/ P *(1+i)^t

Where,

t = 2007 - 1957 = 50 yrs

FV = 6.42

P = 50

Let plug in the formula

Annual inflation rate = (6.42 / 50)^(1/50) - 1

Annual inflation rate= 0.1284 ^ 0.02 - 1

Annual inflation rate= 0.959779 - 1

Annual inflation rate= -0.0402208 *100%

Annual inflation rate=4.02%

b. Computation of the annual real interest rate earned on this​ investment

First step is to find the Norminal ROR

Using this formula

Norminal ROR

= FV/ P *(1+i)^t

Where

FV = 1998

P = 50

let plug in the formula

Norminal ROR = (1998 / 50)^(1/50) -1

Norminal ROR= 39.96 ^ 0.02 - 1

Norminal ROR= 1.076545 - 1

Norminal ROR= 0.0765457 *100

Norminal ROR= 7.65%

Last step is to calculate for annual real interest rate earned using this formula

Annual real interest rate earned = (1+ Nominal ROR) / (1+ Inflation) -1

Let plug in the formula

Annual real interest rate earned=(1+0.0765457) / (1+0.0402208) - 1

Annual real interest rate earned= (1.0765457) / (1.0402208) - 1

Annual real interest rate earned= 1.034920 - 1

Annual real interest rate earned= 0.0349*100

Annual real interest rate earned=3.49%

Therefore the Annual inflation rate will be 4.02% while Annual real interest rate earned will be 3.49%

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for June:

a. Materials price and quantity variances.

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.

2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.

Answers

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price  

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 -  10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance  = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) *  Standard rate  

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance  = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10    

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

Answers

Answer:

Materials

price variance = $240 Unfavorable

quantity variance = $864 Unfavorable

total variance =  $1,104 Unfavorable

Labor

price variance =  $188 Favorable

quantity variance = $200 Unfavorable

total variance = $12 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Materials

price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

                        = (2,400 × $1.70) - (2,400 × $1.60)

                        = $240 Unfavorable

quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                             = (2,400 × $1.60) - (310 × 6 × $1.60)

                             = $864 Unfavorable

total variance = price variance + quantity variance

                       = $240 + $864

                       = $1,104 Unfavorable

Labor

price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

                        = (1,880 × $9.90) - (1,880 × $10.00)

                        = $188 Favorable

quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                             = (1,880 × $10.00) - (310 × 6 × $10.00)

                             = $200 Unfavorable

total variance = price variance + quantity variance

                       = $188 + (-$200)

                       = $12 Unfavorable

Instruments had retained earnings of at December​ 31, . Net income for totaled ​, and dividends declared for were . How much retained earnings should report at December​ 31, ​?

The balance sheet of Cattleman's Steakhouse shows assets of $86,000 and liabilities of $14,400. The fair value of the assets is $89,400 and the fair value of its liabilities is $14,400. Longhorn paid Cattleman's $82,920 to acquire all of its assets and liabilities. Longhorn should record goodwill on this purchase of:

Answers

Answer:

The goodwill is $7,320

Explanation:

It is given that fair value of assets is $89,400 and fair value of liabilities is $14,400

Fair value difference = Fair value of assets - Fair value of liabilities

Fair value difference = $89,400 - $14,400

Fair value difference = $75,000

Hence, the fair value difference is $75,000

It is given that acquisition price is $82,920  and calculated fair value difference is $75,600. Calculation of goodwill is given below

Goodwill = Acquisition price - Fair value difference

Goodwill = $82,920 - $75,600

Goodwill = $7,320

Hence, the goodwill is $7,320.

Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $36,600 that has an estimated residual value of $3,300 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine will output an estimated 1,110,000 copies. This year, 252,000 copies were made. a. Determine the depreciable cost. $ 33,300 b. Determine the depreciation rate. $ per copy c. Determine the units-of-output depreciation for the year. $

Answers

Answer:

a. $33,300

b. $0.03 per copy

c. $7,560

Explanation:

Units of Output = (Cost - Residual Value) × ( Period`s Production / Total Expected Production)

Depreciable Cost = Cost - Residual Value

                             = $36,600 - $3,300

                             = $33,300

Depreciation Rate = Depreciable cost ÷ Expected Production

                              = $33,300 ÷ 1,110,000 copies

                              = $0.03 per copy

Depreciation for the year = Depreciation Rate × Period`s Production

                                            = $0.03 × 252,000 copies

                                            = $7,560

Suppose that it could be demonstrated that a particular tariff on goods from developing countries would transfer benefits from rich Americans to poor Americans and increase total US social welfare. Why might it still be bad from a global social welfare perspective?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Even if tariffs on developing countries were to increase and better the welfare of poor Americans, increasing social welfare of Americans in general , it would still have a negative welfare impact globally since it would affect developing countries. Developing countries are poorer countries compared to the US, and if they are not able to export their goods to the US(a developed country) because of high tariffs, it would have a multiplier effect on the countries' economy and generally affect the welfare of individuals(even poorer people) in these countries consequently affecting global welfare.

Answers

Answer: d. any of the choices.

Explanation:

Chaz is not to transfer the duties to a third party if Dolly got into the agreement with Chaz for any of the following;

If Dolly places special trust in the ability of Chaz to perform the maintenance then that trust should not be broken by transferring the duties to a third party. Dolly went into that contract because they trusted in the abilities of Chaz.If Dolly went into the contract due to the personal skills or talents of Chaz, the duties against would be non-transferable. Chaz's skills were the reason the contract was signed, if these skills are not to be used then the contract will be baseless. By signing with Chaz, Dolly expects a certain level of performance. If the performance that will be made by a third contracting party is materially different from the one that Dolly would have expected from Chez, the duties will not be transferable.
