Answer:
-0.5
Explanation:
Stock Investment (W) Beta (B) W*B
A 200,000 1.50 300,000
B 300,000 X 300,000X
C 500,000 1.20 600,00
1,000,000 900,000+300,000X
Using the formula of Beta of Portfolio to find out X
0.75 = 900,000 + 300,000X / 1,000,000
0.75 * 1,000,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 - 900,000 = 300,000X
-150,000 = 300,000X
X = -150,000 / 300,000
X = -0.5
So, the beta of stock B is -0.5.

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) attempts to keep the most highly demanded resource busy on critical chain activities, but not overloaded.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Critical-Chain
This was introduced or originated by Eli Goldratt in 1997. Its aim is to challenges conventional project management approaches and absolute dependence on TOC principles. The idea of what to change or eliminated is the largely rooted behaviors that is common with the traditional project management practices. It is very multitasking anf it is the longest string of reliance that occur on the project.
Critical- Chain Approach
This approach simply covers project network as it ca be limited by both resource and technical reliance/dependencies. each type of limitations can create task reliance.
The Summary of Critical Chain Approach
1.) use Aggressive but Possible Times (ABPT) for task durations
2.) identify the critical chain by accounting for resource dependencies
3.) use buffer management to track project progress etc.
Lopez Company has Retained Earnings of $48,000 at the end of March, 2020. During the month of April, Lopez has revenues of $72,000 and total operating expenses of $52,000. Lopez also pays its shareholders dividends of $10,000 on April 30. What is Lopez Ending RE = Beg. RE+NI - Div = Beg. RE + (Rev - Exp) - Div = 10,000 + (70,00 0-85,000) - 5,000 = (10,000) Company's ending balance of Retained Earnings on April 30?
Answer: $58,000
Explanation:
Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Net income = Revenues - Operating expenses
= 72,000 - 52,000
= $20,000
Ending retained earnings = 48,000 + 20,000 - 10,000
= $58,000
Julio purchased a stock one year ago for $27. The stock is now worth $32, and the total return to Julio for owning the stock was 37 percent. What is the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year
Answer:
$5
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year
First step is to calculate the total profit earned
Total profit=$27*37%
Total profit=$10
Second step is calculate the Value of stock with profits earned
Value of stock=$27+$10
Value of stock=$37
Now let calculate the the dollar amount of dividends
Dividend=$37-$32
Dividend=$5
Therefore the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year is $5
If a company sells its smart phones for $400 and the phones have a COGS of $250, how many additional phones would the company have to sell if it decided to spend an extra $150,000 on advertising to promote the phones
Answer:
Units to be sold= 1,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $400
COGS= $250
Increase in costs= $150,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold to cover the incremental costs, we need to use the following formula:
Units to be sold= increase in costs/ contribution margin per unit
Units to be sold= 150,000 / (400 - 250)
Units to be sold= 1,000
Shawn Incorporated planned to produce 3,000 units of its single product, Megatron, during November. The standard specifications for one unit of Megatron include six pounds of material at $0.30 per pound. Actual production in November was 3,100 units of Megatron. The accountant computed a favorable materials price variance of $380 and an unfavorable materials quantity variance of $120. Based on these variances, one could conclude that:_________
Answer: The actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost
Explanation:
Net materials cost variance = Favorable materials price variance + Favorable materials quantity variance
= 380 + (-120 unfavorable)
= 380 - 120
= $260 favorable
As the materials cost variance is favorable, it means that the actual cost of materials was less than what was budgeted for it or rather its standard cost.
The current price of an annual coupon bond is 100. The derivative of the price of the bond with respect to the yield to maturity is -700.The yield to maturity is an annual effective rate of 8%. Calculate the duration of the bond.
Answer:
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
Explanation:
Given the current price = 100
DM = -1 x Current derivative price / Current price
DM = (-1 x -$700 / $100)
DM = 7
Now, D = DM (1 + r)
D = 7 (1 + 0.08)
D = 7.56
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
List at least four factors a project manager should consider when identifying individuals to work on a project. Why is each important
Answer:
The four elements to consider when identifying individuals to be part of a project team:
ability to communicate effectivelySelf Assuredness, experience, and ability, Organizational agilityEmotional IntelligenceExplanation:
1. Communication is essential because in a project if there is a miscommunication between one person, group, or team and another, that could prove fatal to the goal of the project.
Communication is verbal and non-verbal and (in a project and as with most organizations) must happen across both sides of the spectrum horizontally and vertically.
For example, when expectations are not clarified or there are assumptions about what one person or team said or expects, this could lead to project disruption. When too much is also divulged, a project can go belly-up.
2. Experience and ability are key but they are not enough. Each team member must be confident in what they believe is right. Sometimes, senior members of a team may want a course of action (that is detrimental) to be executed. A junior team member who is not self-assured may think, "it's coming from above, what can one do?" this type of thinking can be very costly.
A self-assured team player would stand for what is right and in the best interest of the team and the project even at the risk of being fired.
3. Organisational Agility
It is impossible to keep a messy itenary and achieve project success.
The ability to know exactly what needs to be done in succession is an invaluable trait of project team members. This prevents waste of time and resources.
4. Emotional Intelligence
Successful team players are also successful leaders. The most cohesive teams are teams that comprise of highly emotionally intelligent people. One of the benefits of emotional intelligence is that it helps the individual to know how to regulate their own behaviors as well as respond to those of others. It is also critical to motivating others to get the job done.

The following information is given about two fixed coupon bonds from Company A and Company B, both of which have several years left until maturity. Both bonds have a par value of $1,000. Based on this information, which of the following is most accurate?
Company A Company B
Coupon = 4% Coupon = 8%
Yield = 6% Yield = 6%
A. Company A’s bond is priced higher than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
B. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
C. Company A’s bond is priced higher than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a discount
D. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a discount
Answer: B. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
Explanation:
Discount bond ⇒ Bond coupon rate is less than yield which leads to bond having a lower than par price.
Premium bond ⇒ Bond coupon rate is more than yield which leads to bond having higher than par price.
Company A therefore has a discount bond that has a low price compared to Company B which has a premium bond which means that its price is relatively high.
Company B's bond is therefore priced higher than Company A's bond.
What does a MRTS = mean? It means that if the input on the horizontal axis is increased by one unit, then the input on the vertical axis ▼ increases decreases by units and output will ▼ increase decrease not change .
Answer:
MRTS means that if the input on the horizontal axis is increased by one unit, then the input on the vertical axis decreases by units and output will not change.
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be described as the amount by which one input's quantity must be decreased when an additional unit of another input is used to keep output constant. MRST is also known as technical rate of substitution.
Therefore, MRTS means that if the input on the horizontal axis is increased by one unit, then the input on the vertical axis decreases by units and output will not change.
LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 10 percent annual dividend and incurs 6.19% flotation costs. What is the cost of new preferred stock financing
Answer:
$10.66
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of new preferred stock financing
Cost of new preferred stock financing=(100*10%)/(100*(1-0.0619))
Cost of new preferred stock financing=10/(100*(1-0.0619))
Cost of new preferred stock financing=10/(100*0.9381)
Cost of new preferred stock financing=10/93.81
Cost of new preferred stock financing=$10.66
Therefore the cost of new preferred stock financing is $10.66

Since its establishment on January 1, 1999, the euro has more than tripled in appreciation against the U.S. dollar, reaffirming the ability of the European Central Bank to manage monetary policy within the euro zone.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The exchange rate between the euro and the dollar was 1.1719 dollars per 1 euro. Currently, the exchange rate is 1.18 dollars per euro. The euro has appreciated slightly against the US dollar, but it is a small percentage. It is not even close to multiplying its value by 3.
Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $26,000. Selling price per unit is $100, the contribution margin ratio is 25% and fixed expense is $104,000. Required: 1. Calculate Bay Area Cycle's breakeven point in units and total sales dollars. Break-even units Break-even dollars 2. Calculate Bay Area Cycle's margin of safety and margin of safety ratio.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 100*0.25
Unitary contribution margin= $25
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units and dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 104,000 / 25
Break-even point in units= 4,160
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 104,000 / 0.25
Break-even point (dollars)= $416,000
Finally, the margin of safety in dollars as a ratio:
Current sales= (26,000 + 104,000) / 25
Current sales= 5,200
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (5,200*100 - 416,000)
Margin of safety= $104,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 104,000 / 520,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.2 = 20%

True or False: The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement that "The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns" is false. Rather, the shape of the production function simply reflects the law of diminishing marginal returns.
The slope of the production function is used in the measurement of the change in output for every unit of labor input that's added.
Cost accumulation is the determination of the dollar amounts of direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs, and cost measurement is the recognition and recording of costs. True False

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.
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
Research on a Philippine company that filed for bankruptcy, what type of bankruptcy they filed, and its effect on the company?

Explanation:
When a company files bankruptcy, its operations are closed and then analysts visit to identify worth of company's existing assets and analyze whether these assets are enough to pay off liabilities. Debtors are paid first and then with any left over amount investors are paid back.
Mannix Corporation stock currently sells for $80 per share. The market requires a return of 10 percent on the firm's stock. If the company maintains a constant 6 percent growth rate in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock
Answer: $3.02
Explanation:
The Gordon growth method can help solve this:
Formula is:
Price of stock = (Most recent dividend * (1 + growth rate)) / (required return - growth rate)
80 = ( D * ( 1 + 6%)) / (10% - 6%)
80 = 1.06D / 4%
1.06D = 80 * 4%
D = 3.2 / 1.06
D = $3.02
A firm just paid its annual dividend of $1.80 and expects to increase that dividend each year. The discount rate is 11 percent. Which one of these correctly identifies an error when computing the current value of this firm's stock?
a. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.03): The growth rate exceeds its limitation.
b. Po = ($1.80 x 1.12(0.11 -0.03); The growth rate in the denominator should be 12 percent to match the growth rate in the numerator.
c. Po = ($1.80 x (1 +.09)[0.11 -.09); The growth rate exceeds it limitation for using this formula
d. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); The value of Dt, is incorrect as $1.80 equals Do.
Answer:
d. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); The value of D1, is incorrect as $1.80 equals Do.
Explanation:
Calculation to correctly identifies which one of these is an error when computing the current value of this firm's stock
P0 = $1.80/(0.11 - 0.025)
P0 = $1.80/0.085
P0=$9.76
Therefore Based on the information given Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); because The value of D1, is INCORRECT as $1.80 equals Do.
Consider two college roommates, one who smokes and one who does not. The smoker wishes to smoke in the room, and the nonsmoker dislikes smoking in the room. Suppose the smoker would be willing to pay $500 to be allowed to smoke in the room during the semester, and the nonsmoker would be willing to pay $600 to keep the room smoke-free. What should happen in the socially optimal outcome
Answer:
The socially optimal outcome is that there will be no smoking in the room.
Explanation:
The above answer is based on the willingness of the nonsmoker to ensure that no smoking happens in the room. For instance, the nonsmoker can pay off the smoker, paying $600 to dissuade him from smoking in the room. On the contrary, the smoker is only willing to cough out $500, which is less than $600, in order to smoke in the room. Under social optimality, the nonsmoker wins this game.
Aaron and Michele, equal shareholders in Cavalier Corporation, receive $25,000 each in distributions on December 31 of the current year. During the current year, Cavalier sold an appreciated asset for $60,000 (basis of $15,000). Payment for the sale of the asset will be made as follows: 50% next year and 50% in the following year with interest payable at a rate of 6 percent. Before considering the effect of the asset sale, Cavalier's current-year E & P is $40,000 and it has no accumulated E & P.
Required:
How much of Aaron’s distribution will be taxed as a dividend?
Answer:
Cavalier Corporation
Aaron’s distribution that will be taxed as a dividend is:
= $25,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount received in distributions by Aaron and Michele each = $25,000
Proceeds from the sale of an appreciated asset = $60,000
Proceeds to be received 50% in the next year = $30,000
Proceeds to be received 50% in the second year = $30,000
Basis of asset = $15,000
Capital gains = $45,000 ($60,000 - $15,000)
Cavalier's current-year E & P = $40,000
Accumulated E & P = $0
uppose you invest, every month, in an annuity that pays 3% interest, compounded monthly. After 25 years, you have $550,000. How much money do you earn from interest
Answer: $180,046
Explanation:
First find the annuity that was invested monthly that yielded $550,000.
Interest rate = 3%/12 months = 0.25%
Period = 25 * 12 = 300 months
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of periods - 1) / rate
550,000 = Annuity * ( ( 1 + 0.25%)³⁰⁰ - 1 ) / 0.25%
550,000 = Annuity * 446
Annuity = 550,000 / 446
Annuity = $1,233.18
Without compounding, investing $1,233.18 per month would have yielded:
= 1,233.18 * 300 months
= $369,954
Money earned from interest is:
= 550,000 - 369,954
= $180,046
