Answer:
I think it's C, New products bring great rewards with little risk
The correct option is (A) .As we know introducing a product is not that much fast and easy because it automatically contains greater risk in it.
What does the new product mainly contain?Introducing a new product is the most important component of a product portfolio. As it contains greater risk but it also contains greater rewards too.
How can we explain it with a help of an example?When a company launches new products it automatically contains the risk that if it would be opened in the market what would be the customer's reaction, whether a customer would like it or not. If the customer like the product risk would convert into a reward for the company and if not then it would get a loss to the company. This profit and loss to the company affect the portfolio the most.

Burcham Corporation reported pretax book income of $600,000. Tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $400,000. In addition, the company received $300,000 of tax-exempt municipal bond interest. The company's prior-year tax return showed taxable income of $50,000. Compute the company's book equivalent of taxable income. - Use this number to compute the company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Pre-tax book income = $600,000
Less: Tax exempt interest = $300,000
Book equivalent of taxable income = $600,000 - $300,000 = $300,000
The company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34% will be:
= 34% × $300,000
= 0.34 × $300,000
= $102,000

Bill Smith is evaluating the performance of four large-cap equity portfolios: Funds A, B, C, and D. As part of his analysis, Smith computed the Sharpe ratio and the Treynor's measure for all four funds. Based on his finding, the ranks assigned to the four funds are as follows: Fund Treynor Measure Rank Sharpe Ratio Rank A 1 4 B 2 3 C 3 2 D 4 1 The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:
Question Completion with Options:
a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.
b. Different benchmarks used to evaluate each fund’s performance.
c. A difference in risk premiums.
Answer:
The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:
a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fund Treynor Measure Rank Sharpe Ratio Rank
A 1 4
B 2 3
C 3 2
D 4 1
b) The Sharpe ratio and the Treynor measure are two financial performance ratios that measure the risk-adjusted rate of return of an investment. Specifically, the Sharpe ratio helps investors to understand an investment's return profile when compared to its risk profile. On the other hand, the Treynor ratio measures the excess return generated for portfolio risk per unit.
In conclusion, the Sharpe ratio appears to be a better measure with a portfolio that is not properly diversified, while the Treynor ratio works better with a well-diversified portfolio.

Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods and complete the depreciation schedules below.
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
(d) Double-declining-balance.
Answer:
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
depreciation expense per year = ($315,900 - $15,900) / 4 = $75,000
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
depreciation expense per unit = $300,000 / 40,000 = $7.50 per unit
depreciation expense 2014 = $7.50 x 15,000 = $112,500
depreciation expense 2015 = $7.50 x 11,710 = $87,825
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
depreciation expense 2014 = $300,000 x 4/10 = $120,000
depreciation expense 2015 = $300,000 x 3/10 = $90,000
(d) Double-declining-balance.
depreciation expense 2014 = $315,900 x 2 x 1/4 = $157,950
depreciation expense 2015 = $157,950 x 2 x 1/4 = $78,975
depreciation expense 2016 = $78,975 x 2 x 1/4 = $39,487.50
depreciation expense 2017 = $39,487.50 - $15,900 = $23,587.50
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%

I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
The attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory was developed and introduced by Benjamin Schneider. This theory typically gives the reason why a business firm or organization looks and feels the way it does with respect to the employees and employers.
According to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory, job applicants avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values. Also, it states that job applicants are usually attracted to colleagues having similar assumptions and values.
Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,000. He rejected several offers in the $350,000 range during the summer. Finally, on August 16, he and the purchaser signed a contract to sell for $363,000. The sale (i.e., closing) took place on September 7. The closing statement showed the following disbursements:
Real estate agent's commission $21,780
Appraisal fee 600
Exterminator's certificate 300
Recording fees 800
Mortgage to First Bank 305,000
Cash to seller 34,520
Wesley's adjusted basis for the house is $200,000. He owned and occupied the house for seven years. On October 1, 2017, Wesley purchases another residence for $325,000.
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is __________
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is ___________
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________
Answer:
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.
Explanation:
Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.
If the selling price is $800,000;
Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

Frieda Inc. is considering a capital expansion project. The initial investment of undertaking this project is $105,500. This expansion project will last for five years. The net operating cash flows from the expansion project at the end of year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are estimated to be $22,500, $25,800, $33,000, $45,936 and $58,500 respectively. Frieda has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 16% and the cost of equity is 18.5%.
What is Frieda%u2019s weighted average cost of capital?
a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%
Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Acort Industries owns assets that will have a 75% probability of having a market value of $52 million in one year. There is a 25% chance that the assets will be worth only $22 million. The current risk-free rate is 5%, and Acort's assets have a cost of capital of 10%. a) If Acort is unlevered, what is the current market value of its equity? b) Suppose instead that Acort has debt with a face value of $18 million due in one year. According to MM (i.e. perfect market), what is the value of Acort's equity in this case? c) What is the expected return of Acort's equity without leverage? What is the expected return of Acort's equity with leverage? d) What is the lowest possible realized return of Acort's equity with and without leverage?
Solution :
a). The current market value of the unlevered equity
[tex]$=\frac{75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million}}{1+10 \%}$[/tex]
= $ 40.45 million
b). The market value of the equity one year from now is
[tex]$=(75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million})- \$18 \ \text{million}$[/tex]
= $ 44.5 million - $ 18 million
= $ 26.5 million
c). The expected return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The expected return on the equity with the leverage = [tex]$=10\% +\frac{ \$22 \text{ million}}{\$ 26.5 \text{ million}}$[/tex]
= 0.93 %
d). The lowest possible value of equity without the leverage = $20 million - $ 18 million
= $ 2 million
The lowest return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The lowest return on the equity with the leverage = 2 % as the equity is eroded.

Game Theory and Strategic Choices -- End of Chapter Problem You have developed a new computer operating system and are considering whether you should enter the market and compete with Microsoft. Microsoft has the option of offering their operating system for a high price or a low price. Once Microsoft selects a price, you will decide whether you want to enter the market or not enter the market. If Microsoft charges a high price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $30 million and you will earn $10 million. If Microsoft charges a high price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $60 million and you will earn $0. If Microsoft charges a low price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $20 million and you will lose $5 million. If Microsoft charges a low price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $50 million and you will earn $0. Construct a payoff table and find the Nash equilibrium if you and Microsoft both make your decisions simultaneously.
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will and you will:___________
Answer:
Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .
Explanation:
The Nash equilibrium
You
enter Don't enter
Microsoft high price ( $30 , $10 ) ( $60 , $0 )
Microsoft low price ( $20, -$5 ) ( $50, $0 )
From the Nash equilibrium the best time for you to enter the market is when Microsoft Charges a high price
While the best time for Microsoft is when it charges a high price and you do not enter the market
But considering Simultaneous Move game : Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .
Here is the payoff table:
Enter Don't enter
High 30, 10 60,0
Low 20, -5 50, 0
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will charge a high price and you will enter the market.
Game theory studies how participants in a competitive market make the best choice for themselves.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for participants in a competitive market where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
If I enter the market, I can either earn $10 million or lose $5 million. If I don't enter the market, I would earn nothing. The best strategy for me is to enter the market because $5 million is greater than 0.
If Microsoft charges a high price, it can either earn $30 million or $60 million. If the firm charges a low price, it would earn either $20 or $50 million. The best strategy is to charge a high price.

The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 56,300 hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate to apply factory overhead. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 1 per machine hour
Answer:
$31
Explanation:
Given the following information,
Total factory overhead costs = $1,745,300
Direct labor hours = 56,300
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we will make use of the formula below;
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base
= $1,745,300 / 56,300
= $31
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate to apply to factory overhead is $31
Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.
You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.
Answer:
Explanation:
Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...
Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586
Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.

What are the weighted-average accumulated expenditures?
Answer:
$8,395,833
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What are the weighted-average accumulated expenditures
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures
=($6,400,000 × 10/12) + ($5,250,000 × 7/12) + ($8,650,000 × 0/12)
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$5,333,333+$3,062,500+0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$8,395,833
Therefore the weighted-average accumulated expenditures will be $8,395,833
Determine aggregate expenditures (AE) in this economy when real GDP (Y) is equal to $1,500 billion, $2,000 billion, and $2,500 billion.
When Y = $1,500 billion, AE =
billion.
When Y = $2,000 billion, AE =
billion
When Y = $2.500 billion, AE =
billion.
Answer:
a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE =$1050 billion
b)When Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $1400 billion
c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE =$1750 billion
Explanation:
As we know,
Yd = Y- T
Y = national income (or GDP)
T = Tax Revenues = 0.3Y
a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 -0.3*$1,500 = $1050 billion
b) When Y = $2,000 billion, AE =$2,000 - 0.3*$2,000 = $1400 billion
c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE = $2.500 - 0.3 * $2.500 = $1750 billion
Assuming the economy to operate in equilibrium, the aggregate expenditure model explains that GDP is equal to the Aggregate expenditure. Therefore, the solutions are:
Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 billion.Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $2,000 billion.Y = $2,500 billion, AE = $2,500 billion.What is the aggregate expenditure model?The aggregate expenditure model explains the relationship between GDP and planned spending. The model states that:
[tex]\rm GDP = Planned \:spendings[/tex]
Therefore the Aggregate expenditure for the real GPDs is:
Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 billion.Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $2,000 billion.Y = $2,500 billion, AE = $2,500 billion.Learn more about the aggregate expenditure model here:

Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Well-managed companies set aside money to pay for emergencies that inevitably arise in the course of doing business. A commercial solid-waste recycling and disposal company in Mexico City puts 0.5% of its after-tax income into such an account. (a) How much will the company have after 7 years if after-tax income averages $15.2 million and inflation and market interest rates are 5% per year and 9% per year, respectively
Answer:
$699,200
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
After tax income = $15,200,000
Amount in account = 0.5% × $15,200,000 = $76,000
Time period = 7 years
inflation = 5%
Interest rate = 9%
So, Total amount after 7 years = $76,000 × (F/A, 9%, 7)
= $76,000 ×[ [tex]((1+.09)^{7}-1 )[/tex] ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × [.82803912082 ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × 9.2
= $699,200

Citibank need to borrow $1 million for 6 months starting in 2 years. Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,
= 0.01
No. of borrowing months,
= 6
National amount,
= 1000000
Now,
The net payment will be:
= [tex]National \ principal*(Floating \ rate - Fixed \ rate)\times \frac{No. \ of \ months}{12}[/tex]
On substituting the above values, we get
= [tex]1000000\times (0.01-0.4)\times \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]1000000\times (-0.03)\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]-15,000[/tex] ($)
