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 1

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

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

Margin on price as a percentage is the expression of how much you mark your product up by to arrive at your retail price. True False

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.22  million

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:

Cost of capital -discount rate -

WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd

After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56

WACC = (0.71×3.56 %)  + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %

PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7

PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32

Initial cost = 9.1 million

NPV = 10.32  - 9.1 =  1.22 million

NPV = $1.22  million

ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answers

Probability assigned:|

x 30 60 120 180

P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10

Answer:

Jane

Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:

$3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected Sales volume:

Number of Tubes  x   30     60      120     180

Probability P(x)           .10     .40      .40      .10

Expected values          3      24       48       18

Total = 93 tubes

Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23

b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily.  The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.

Company A was sued by Company B. The management of Company A feels that it is probable that it will have to pay the full amount to Company 8. What is the effect of this contingent event on Company A's accounting equation?
a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.
b. Increase assets and increase stockholders' equity.
c. No effect on the accounting equation.
d. Decrease assets and decrease liabilities.

Answers

Answer: a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.

Explanation:

Contingent Liabilities are obligations that the company may owe if a future event happens such as them being ruled against in a case in court.

Contingent Liabilities are to be recorded in the financial statements only when it is probable that it will happen and that the amount to be paid is reasonably estimable.

Company A's management feels like the loss is probable and that they would have to pay the full amount to company B which means that the loss is both likely and estimable.

Company A should therefore increase their liabilities and debit loss which will come from the Equity thereby reducing it.

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

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million.  The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts.  Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average.  This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

Answers

Answer: The selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a bond issue with a face amount of $1,200,000 bears interest at the rate of 9% and that the current market rate of interest is 10%.

Since the market rate is 10% which is higher than coupon rate of 9%, this means that the market price for the bond will be smaller than the bond's face value.

Therefore, the selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000.

How much will Speedy Runner need to borrow at the end of​ October?

Answers

Answer: $9,000

Explanation:

Speedy Runner will need to borrow the amount of cash disbursements that will exceed their cash receipts.

= Opening Cash + Cash Receipts - Cash Disbursements

= Opening Cash + Expected Cash Collections - Direct Labor Cash - Direct Materials Cash Disbursements - Operating Expenses Cash Disbursements - MOH Cash Disbursements - Capital Expenditures Cash Disbursements ​- Ending cash balance requirement

= 15,300 + 435,000 - 32,000 - 80,000 - 110,000 - 25,000 - 200,000 - 12,000

= $8,700

They can borrow in incremental terms of $1,000 so to cover the cash requirements they should borrow $9,000.

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?

Answers

Answer:

Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce.  This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.

Explanation:

Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace.  Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances.  This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures.  In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.

The key cause due to which the performance appraisal becomes problematic due to diversity in the workforce would be:

- Cultural bias

What is performance appraisal?

Performance appraisal is described as the process of reviewing the performances done by the employees in a particular organization to attain its goals and reward them accordingly.

When the workforce of a particular company or organization becomes exceedingly diverse, it becomes problematic to do performance appraisals.

The reason behind this is that this diversity gives rise to cultural biases and may result in discrimination.
