Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

this is for advisor A.

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% for advisor b

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

Therefore advisor a is better

Answers

The question is incomplete:

Beer prices at major league baseball stadiums are usually much higher than prices at a bar or restaurant. This is mainly because

a. it costs the owners of the baseball teams more money to buy the beer from distributors

b. demand is much higher at a baseball game than at a bar

c. baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer

d. the government forces the owners of baseball teams to change price.

e. the owner's baseball teams are not profit maximizing

Answer:

c. baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer

Explanation:

The situation at the major league baseball stadiums is that the owner of the team is the only one that sells the beer which means that they have the power to establish the price they want as people won't have another option to buy the beer in the stadium and they will try to get as much benefits as possible by setting a high price. According to this, the answer is that this is mainly because baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer .

The other options are not right because the owners of the teams pay the same price for the beer as everyone else, the demand is not higher at the baseball game, the government doesn't regulate the prices and the owners are trying to get as much profits as possible.

The initial price for a stadium is $800,000,000. There will be a 2% adjustment to the price, and $85,000,000 of revenue from the sale of previous equipment and land. The projected future cash flow is $675,000,000. The government has decided to provide $300,000,000 of cash to discount the price. What is the Net Present Value of the Stadium

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $246764705.88

Explanation:

The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.

DATA

Initial price = $800,000,000

Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000

Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000

Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804

Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000

Solution

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000

NPV = $246,764,706

Working

PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804

PV of cash inflow =  $661,764,706

PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale  - Goverment fund

PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000

PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

has a target debt−equity ratio of .50. Its cost of equity is 15 percent, and its cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

11.35%

Explanation:

The calculation of WACC is shown below:-

WACC = Cost of equity × (equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)) +  cost of debt × (debt ÷ (Debt + Equity)) × (1 - tax rate)

= 0.15 × (1 ÷ 1.50) + 0.06 × (0.50 ÷ 1.50) × (1 - 0.34)

= 0.15 × 0.67 + 0.06 × 0.33 × 0.66

= 0.1005 + 0.013068

= 11.35%

Therefore for computing the WACC we simply applied the above formula.

Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out. To illustrate your recommended procedure, use as an example the ordering policy for white percale sheets.

Demand for white percale sheets is 5,000 per year. The store is open 365 days per year. Every two weeks (14 days) inventory is counted and a new order is placed. It takes 10 days for the sheets to be delivered. Standard deviation of demand for the sheets is five per day. There are currently 150 sheets on hand.

How many sheets should you order?

Answers

Answer:

The number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.

Explanation:

Before we can determine the number sheets to order, we need to first calculate the targeted number of sheet as follows:

TN = DD * (LT + RT) + z + SDD * [tex]\sqrt{LT + RT}[/tex] .......................... (1)

Where;

TN = Targeted number of sheets = ?

DD = Daily demand = 5,000 / 365 = 13.70

LT = Lead time = 10

RT = Review time or stock taking time = 14

SDD = Standard Deviation of Daily Demand = 5

z = 1.64

Note: Since Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out, the z is determined by just typing the function =NORM.S.INV(0.95) in the Microsoft Excel to obtain the 1.64.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

TN = 13.70 * (10 + 14) + 1.64 * 5 * [tex]\sqrt{10+14}[/tex]

TN = 369 approximately

Since there are currently 150 sheets on hand, the number of sheets you should order can be determined as follows:

Number of sheet to order = TS - Number of sheets on hand = 369 - 150 = 219 sheets

Therefore, the number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.

Answer:

219 sheets

Explanation:

The computation of the number of sheets ordered is computed by applying the following formula

Number of sheets ordered is

= Average daily demand × (Lead time + time taken) + Service probability × standard deviation in lead time - present inventory level

where,

Standard deviation in lead time is

= [tex]\sqrt{10+14(5)}[/tex]

= 24.49

And, the service probability level could be find out by applying the =NORMSINV(0.95) in excel so the value of z is 1.64

And, all other things would remain the same

= 5,000 ÷ 365 days × (10 + 14) + (1.64) (24.49) - 150

= 219 sheets

Assume that the current ratio for Arch Company is 2.5, its acid-test ratio is 2.0, and its working capital is $390,000. Answer each of the following questions independently, always referring to the original information. Required: a. How much does the firm have in current liabilities? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Current liabilities = 260,000

Explanation:

Given:

Current ratio = 2.5

Working capital = $390,000

Find:

Current liabilities

Computation:

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

$390,000 = Current assets - Current liabilities

Current assets = Current liabilities + $390,000

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2.5 = [Current liabilities + $390,000] / Current liabilities

2.5 Current liabilities = Current liabilities + $390,000

Current liabilities = 260,000

A subcontractor is responsible for outfitting six satellites that will be used for solar research. Four of the six have been completed in a total of 600 hours. If the crew has a 75% learning curve, how long should it take them to finish the last two units?

Answers

Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222

time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

total time required to four units is 600 hours,

Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946

so

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

Note that total time factor at this point changes;

( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Given data

Total time required to four units is 600 hours

Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

An increase in costs incurred when filing for bankruptcy. c. An increase in the personal tax rate. d. The Federal Reserve tightens interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. e. An increase in the corporate tax rate.

Answers

Answer:

Option e: An increase in the corporate tax rate

Explanation:

Corporate income tax rate is used to know how much people are willing to invest their new capital and also where they will place that new capital.

An increase in it is likely to encourage a company to use more debt in its capital structure.

The lower the corporate tax rate, the more it drives or leads to growth in capital stock, wages, jobs and others while the higer(increase) in corporate income tax rate, the more it affects economic decisions.

An Increase in a company's debt ratio will therefore lead to an increase in the marginal cost of both debt and equity financing. Also this action may lower the company's WACC

Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.

What is the price of the bond?

Answers

Answer:

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp.  be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115

Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05  % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)   = (2 × 21) = 41 periods

PV of interest =  

115  × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41)   = 2,175.89

Step 3:Price of the bond

Total present Value = 1,946.47  +  2,175.89  = 4,122.36

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 5,100 of these meals using 2,000 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $28,000 for this work, or $14.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.40 direct labor-hours at a cost of $13.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 5,100 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 5,100 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).

Answers

Answer:

1. 2,040 Hours

2. $27,540

3. 460 U

4.Labor rate variance = 1,000 U , Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

Explanation:

1. Standard labor hour allowed = (5,100 * 0.40) = 2,040 Hours

2. Standard labor cost = (2,040 * $13.50) = $27,540

3. Labor spending variance = (Standard cost - actual cost)

Labor spending variance = (27,540 - 28,000)

Labor spending variance = 460 U

4. Labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

Labor rate variance = ($13.50 - $14) * 2000

Labor rate variance = 0.50 * 2,000 U

Labor rate variance = 1,000 U

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate

Labor efficiency variance= (2,040 - 2,000) * $13.50

Labor efficiency variance = 40 * 13.50 F

Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

= 2.89%+10.179%-2.5143%

= 2.89%+7.6647%

= 10.55%

Hence the required return on the company's stock is 10.55%

Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 20X3. During 20X3, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specific construction debt, and $20,000 on other borrowings. Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 was $40,000. What amount of interest cost should Cole capitalize

Answers

Answer: $40,000

Explanation:

When capitalizing Interest for a PPE, accounting procedure is that one looks at the actual interests incurred vs the interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the PPE and then pick the lower of the two for capitalization.

The actual interest incurred is;

= 50,000 + 20,000

= $70,000

The Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 = $40,000. This is the lower one and so will be the amount capitalized.

A common stock pays an annual dividend per share of $1.80. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the risk premium for this stock is 4%. If the annual dividend is expected to remain at $1.80 per share, what is the value of the stock

Answers

Answer:

The value of the stock today is $20

Explanation:

Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.

The equation for CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketBeta * rpM is the risk premium on stock

r = 0.05 + 0.04

r = 0.09 or 9%

The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,

P0 = Dividend / r

P0 = 1.8 / 0.09

P0 = $20

Dairy Wishes, a local ice cream store, finds
that it sells out of ice cream sandwiches at the current price of $1. It raises the price to increase its
revenues and finds that no one buys ice cream sandwiches anymore
The demand for icecream sandwiches is
a. inelastic.
b. elastic.
c. perfectly inelastic.
d. perfectly elastic.
e. unitary elastic.

Answers

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Demand is perfectly elastic if it at the current price, the product is sold out but if there is a change in price demand falls to zero. the demand curve is horizontal

Demand in perfectly inelastic if there is no change in quantity demanded regardless of the change in price.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?

Answers

Answer:

I looked for the missing information and found the following:

total contract price = $920,000

individual prices:

machine = $800,000 installation = $100,000training = $100,000total = $1,000,000

Maya should allocate each performance obligation in the same proportion as if they were sold separately:

machine = ($800,000 / $1,000,000) x $920,000 = $736,000installation = ($100,000 / $1,000,000) x $920,000 = $92,000training = ($100,000 / $1,000,000) x $920,000 = $92,000

Suppose the rate of inflation was 2 percent in India from 2008-2012 and, over that same period, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.7 percent. Based on these inflation trends, which of the following is true?

a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Answers

Answer:

b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Explanation:

Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.

As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.

If budgeted beginning finished goods inventory is $8,000, budgeted ending finished goods inventory is $9,400, and budgeted cost of goods sold is $10,260, budgeted cost of goods manufactured should be

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured= $11,660

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= $8,000

Ending inventory= $9,400

COGS= $10,260

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

10,260 = 8,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 9,400

cost of goods manufactured= 10,260 - 8,000 + 9,400

cost of goods manufactured= $11,660

If Colombia spends 2 hours producing coffee and 6 hours producing oranges, and Cuba spends 3 hours producing coffee and 1 hour producing oranges, which of the following are true?

B. Colombia does not have an absolute advantage producing any goods, but Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges.
C. Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges.
D. Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, but Cuba does not have an absolute advantage producing any good.

Answers

Answer: C. Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Colombia spends 2 hours producing coffee and 6 hours producing oranges, and Cuba spends 3 hours producing coffee and 1 hour producing oranges.

Since Columbia spends a lesser time producing coffee and Cuba spends a lesser time producing oranges, it means that Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges.

Let's say that you choose to buy bread in a grocery store. According to the marginal benefit and marginal cost principle, how many loaves of bread will you purchase if you know the following:

A loaf of bread costs $2.00. Each dollar is worth 100 utils to you (so $2 is worth 200 utils). The first loaf of bread gives you 400 utils of satisfaction. The second loaf of bread gives you 320 utils of satisfaction. The third loaf of bread gives you 280 utils of satisfaction. The fourth loaf of bread gives you 220 utils of satisfaction. The fifth loaf of bread gives you 160 utils of satisfaction. The sixth loaf of bread gives you 30 utils of satisfaction. The seventh loaf of bread gives you no more additional utils.

1. Four loaves.
2. One loaf.
3. Three loaves.
4. Two loaves.
5. Six loaves.
6. Five loaves.
7. Seven loaves.

Answers

Six is your answer because if it cost $2.00 and you have 4 it makes sense

It will be advisable to purchase six loaves of bread to derive the optimum amount of marginal utility upon consumption. Hence, option 6 is correct.

What is marginal utility?

The utility derived upon consumption of each additional unit of a product, given that other things remain constant, is known as the marginal utility derived.

It has been provided that the utility derived upon the consumption of seventh loaf will not derive further utility. And thus, six loaves derive optimum amount of utility for the consumer.

Hence, option 6 holds true regarding deriving the marginal utility.
