Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return A 1.16 .1137 B .92 .0984 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 10.35%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the expected return of a security with the expression

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)

( Market return - risk free rate) is also known as the market premium and can be calculated by;

= [tex]\frac{Expected return on A - Expected return on B}{Beta for A - Beta for B}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.1137 - 0.0934}{1.16 - 0.92}[/tex]

= 0.0153/0.24

= 6.375%

= 6.38%

Expected return A = Risk free rate + Beta A ( Market return - risk free rate)

0.1137 = Risk free rate + 1.16 (6.38%)

Risk free rate = 0.1137 - 1.16(6.38%)

Risk free rate = 3.97%

Market Expected return = Market Risk Premium + risk free rate

= 6.38% + 3.97%

= 10.35%

fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $5 variable cost per unit

Answers

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of   variable cost per unit

                        Units     Total cost

High method  15,000×$5  per units  =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low  method  5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference  10,000     $25,000  

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the rate of interestt is the time in years

Future value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5

Future value = $1514.30

What is the beta for a company with a 12% expected return, while treasury bills are yielding 5% and the market risk premium is 7%

Answers

Answer:

The beta for the company is 1.

Explanation:

A beta is the measure of systematic risk associated to a stock or the portfolio. Systematic risk is the market risk that affects all the stocks in the market due to factors that are uncontrollable. Such a risk is what the companies compensate the investors for. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the expected rate of return of a stock. The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

We already have the values for r, rRF and rpM. Plugging them in the formula, we calculate the beta to be,

0.12 = 0.05  +  Beta * 0.07

0.12 - 0.05 = Beta * 0.07

0.07/ 0.07 = Beta

Beta = 1

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, since NPV>0

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment

where,

Present value of cash inflows is

= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3

= $446.43 + $569.42

= $1,015.85

And the intial investment is $900

So, the net present value is

= $1,015.85 - $900

= $115.85

Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $73,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2022 would be

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $17,640

Explanation:

Equipment was bought on Jan. 1, 2022 for $73,500. This is the historical cost of the asset.

Residual value is $6,450. This is the amount the equipment is being expected to sell for at the end of its useful life.

Useful life is 5 years.

To know the percentage to be used for the depreciation, we have:

100percent / 5 years

= 20 percent

Double-declining is 40 percent(20 percent x 2)

Depreciation for 2021 is

$73,500 x 40 percent

= $29,400.

Carrying amount at the end of 2021 which will also be for the beginning of 2022 is $44,100 ($73,500 - $29,400)

Depreciation for 2022:

$44,100 x 40 percent

$17,640.

Therefore, the depreciation for 2022 is $17,640.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800

First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:

unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8

Now, the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Finally, the total contribution margin:

total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020

The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.

Total Contribution Margin

To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:

Selling price $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume  5,000, & 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800

To find the value of Total Contribution margin:

Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000=  $83.8

Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.

Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year

Answers

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

Explanation:

Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales

Net sales - $1,050,000

Cost of sales - ($735,000)

Gross profit -. $315,000

Gross profit ratio is:

(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent

($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent

0.3 x 100 percent

30 percent.

So we have:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

Answers

Answer:

Avoidable costs

Explanation:

An avoidable cost is defined as one that an entity will not incur if a particular activity is not undertaken.

In business operations avoidable costs are usually variable costs. These are costs that vary or change in the cost of production. For example wages, cost of raw materials, and labour. These can be avoided depending on business needs.

Costs that are not avoidable are fixed cost. For example rent, insurance, and utilities.

These costs are paid wether production occurs or not.

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days.

A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000

Answers

Answer:

$26000

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

we first calculate collection flaot:

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate disbursements float:

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

Answers

Answer:

cost plus regulation

Explanation:

Cost plus regulation is generally used by the government to regulate monopolies (mainly natural monopolies like utilities, and others).

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

Answers

Answer:

$30.75

Given that

Security bidding = $30.25

Offered price = $30.75

over the counter trading = $30.75

Commission charged = $0.50

based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50

Hence, the price is $30.75

b. Calculate the firm?s operating cash flow (OCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
c. Calculate the firm?s free cash flow (FCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
d. Interpret, compare, and contrast your cash flow estimates in parts b and c.

Answers

Answer:

a. NOPAT = EBIT * (1-t)

NOPAT = $2,700 * (1-0.40)

NOPAT = $1,620

b. OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation

OCF = $1,620 + $1,600

OCF = $3,220

c. FCF = Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment

FCF = $3,320 - $1,400 -  $1,400

FCF = $420

Note:

Net fixed asset investment = Change in net fixed assets + depreciation

= ($14,800- $ 15,000) + $1,600

= $1,400

Net current asset investment = Change in current assets - Change in accounts payable and accurals

= ($8,200 - $6,800) - {($1,600 + $200) - ($1,500 - $300)}

= $1,400

d. FCF is meaningful as it shows that OCF is able to cover Operating expenses as well as Investment in Fixed and Current Assets
