Answer:
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Ke- required rate of return, Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using the model, we work out Beta which is not given and then re-calculate the required rate of return of the new stock
Ke- 11.75 % Rf- 5.5, Rm-Rf = 4.75%, β= ?
11.75% = 5.50% + β(4.75%)
11.75% -5.50% = β(4.75%)
(11.75-5.50)/4.75= β
1.315789474 = β
1.315 = β
New required rate of return
5.50% + 1.315(1.02×4.75)
11.875
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Required rate of return, (Re) = 11.75%
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 5.50%
Market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 4.75
Let's calculate beta (b) first, by using below formula.
Re = Rf + b (Rm - Rf)
11.75 = 5.50 + b ( 4.75)
By solving, we get beta (b) = 1.3157 = 1.32
Now, market risk premium is increased by 2%.
So, new market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 6.75%. Beta and Rf values are same.
New Required rate of return (Re) = 5.50 + 1.32 * 6.75
By solving, we get Re = 14.41 %
Suppose the current spot rate for the Norwegian kroner is $1 = NKr6.6869. The expected inflation rate in Norway is 6 percent and in the U.S. it is 3.1 percent. A risk-free asset in the U.S. is yielding 4 percent. What risk-free rate of return should you expect on a Norwegian security?
Answer:
The risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%
Explanation:
Here, we are expected to calculate the risk-free rate of return on a Norwegian security.
We use the mathematical formula as follows;
Risk-free home - Expected inflation home = Risk free foreign - Expected inflation foreign
Kindly note that home refers to the US while foreign refers to Norway
From the question, we identify the following terms;
Risk-free home = 4%
Expected inflation home = 3.1%
Risk-free foreign = ?
Expected inflation foreign = 6%
Now, plugging these values, we have;
4% - 3.1% = ? - 6%
0.9% = ?- 6%
6% + 0.9% = ?
? = 6.9%
Thus, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%
The risk-free asset in the U.S. is yielding 4 percent.
Risk-free rate in US - Inflation rate = Risk free rate in Norway - Inflation rate
4% - 3.1% = Risk free rate - 6%
Risk-free rate in Norway = 0.9% + 6%
Risk-free rate in Norway = 6.9%
So, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%.
What is risk-free return?The risk-free rate of return is the theoretical rate of return of an investment with zero risk. The risk-free rate represents the interest an investor would expect from an absolutely risk-free investment over a specified period of time.
A risk-free asset is one that has a certain future return and virtually no possibility of loss.
Thus, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%.

Answer:
30%
Explanation:
The computation of the profit margin is shown below:
Given that
Net income earned for the month of October = $3,000
And, the net sales for the month of October is $10,000
Based on the above information, the profit margin is
= Net income ÷ Net sales
= $3,000 ÷ $10,000
= 30%
By dividing the net income from the net sales we can get the profit margin and the same is to be considered

Using benefit-cost ratio analysis, determine which one of the three mutually exclusive alternatives should be selected.
Each alternative has a 10-year useful life. Assume a 20% MARR.
A B C
First cost $560 $340 $120
Uniform annual benefit 140 100 40
Salvage value 40 0 0
Answer:
project C
Explanation:
20% MARR
A B C
First cost $560 $340 $120
Uniform annual benefit $140 $100 $40
Salvage value $40 0 0
yearly cash flows 1 - 9 $140 1 - 10 $100 1 - 10 $40
10 $180
Using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the present value of the project's cash flows: $593.41 $419.25 $167.70
all the NPVs are positive: $33.41 $79.25 $47.70
since we are going to apply a benefit-cost analysis, we must determine the return on investment (ROI) = net profit (or NPV in this case) / investment
ROI A = $33.41 / $560 = 5.97%ROI B = $79.25 / $340 = 23.31%ROI C = $47.70 / $120 = 39.75%Since the return on investment is higher for project C, then that project should be selected.

Daniel deposits $2,000 per year at the end of the year for the next 15 years into an IRA account that currently pays 7%. How much will Daniel have on deposit at the end of the 15 years
Answer:
$50,258.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the deposit amount at the end of 15 years by using following formula:-
Deposit Amount per year(PMT) = $2,000
Interest rate = 7% = 0.07
Deposit year (n) = 15 years
Future value(FVIFA) = PMT × [{(1 + interest rate)^number of years - 1} ÷ interest rate]
= $2,000 × [{(1 + 0.07)^15 - 1} ÷ 0.07]
= $2,000 × [{2.7590315 - 1} ÷ 0.07]
= $2,000 × [1.7590315/0.07]
= $2,000 × 25.129022
= $50,258
According to the analysis total deposit at the end of the year is $50,258.
Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $60,000 per year which is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. If there is no cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension, then some of your future living cost has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your saving account earns 7% interest a year, how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years
Answer:
The money side aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years is $429,060
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The first year retirement benefit is = $60,000
Expected increase of cost of living at an annual rate = 5%
Savings earn account = 7%
Now,
We find the the pension current worth
P₁ = $60,000 (P/A, i, n)
= $60,000 (P/A 7%, 25)
$60,000 (11.654)
= 699, 254
Thus,
we compute the current worth of cost of living by applying the factor of geometric series.
P₂ = $60,000 (P/A, g,i, n)
= $60,000 (P/A, 5% 7%, 25)
= $60,000 [ 1-(1+0.05)^25 + (1+0.07)^-25/0.07 -0.05]
= $60,000 (1 - 0.6239/0.02)
=$60,000 (0.3761/0.02)
= $22,566/0.02 =$1,128,300
Now, we calculate the money that will be saved
Which is $1,128,300 - $699,254
= $429,060

ThreePoint Sports Inc. manufactures basketballs for the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). For the first 6 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 80% of plant capacity and producing 120,300 units.
Amount Sales $4,571,400
Cost of goods sold 3,713,667
Selling and administrative expenses 534,893
Net income $322,840
Fixed costs for the period were cost of goods sold $960,000, and selling and administrative expenses $257,000.
In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, ThreePoint Sports receives a special order for 10,000 basketballs at $28 each from the Greek Basketball Association (GBA). Acceptance of the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses $0.75 per unit because of shipping costs but would not increase fixed costs and expenses.
Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order. (Round all per unit computations to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Incremental profit is $120,500
Explanation:
First and foremost, it is noteworthy that accepting the new order would increase revenue, cost of goods sold as well as the variable selling and administrative expenses.
Selling price per unit=$4,571,400/120,300=$38
variable cost of goods sold per unit=($3,713,667-$960,000)/120,300=$22.89
increase in selling and administrative expenses by unit is $0.75
initial variable selling and administrative expenses per unit=($534,893- $257,000)/120,300=$2.31
revised variable selling and administrative expenses per unit=$2.31 +$0.75=$3.06
Incremental analysis
Increase in revenue($38*10,000) $380,000
increase in cost of goods sold($22.89*10,000) ($228,900)
increase in selling & admin. exp.($3.06*10,000) ($30,600)

Midas Corporation is a sporting goods manufacturer. Most of its energies and resources are devoted to manufacturing and selling a line of sports shoes that has been a reasonable hit in the past. The company rarely undertakes any marketing research studies to assess consumer wants and needs and seldom devises new advertising or promotional strategies. Midas Corporation is exhibiting _____. Selected Answer: Correct production orientation Answers: investor orientation market orientation customer orientation
Answer:
Production orientation
Explanation:
When a company engages in production orientation it means that they are producing what they believe their customers will purchase simply because they are offering it. The company does not care about their customers' needs and preferences, and simply believes that because they are good at producing a certain type of product that was successful in the past, it will continue to be successful and its customers will remain loyal to them. This philosophy was very popular during the industrial revolution where companies produced what they could hoping that there would be enough customers to buy their production regardless of what it was.
Suppose that examination of a pro forma reveals that the fifth-year net operating income (NOI) for an income-producing property that you are analyzing is $913,058 (you can assume that this cash flow occurs at the end of the year). If you estimate the projected rental growth rate for the property to be 3% per year, determine the projected sale price of the property at the end of year 5 if the going-out capitalization rate is 8%.
Answer:
The project sale price at the end of year 5 is $ 11,755,622
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Analyzing an income producing property is = $913,058
The rental rate of growth for the property to be is =3%
At the end of the year 5, the projected sale price of the property if going g-out capitalization is = 8%
Then
we find the projected sales price is given below:
= ( $ 913,058 x 1.03 ) / 0.08
= $940,449.74/0.08
= $ 11,755,622
Joe must pay liabilities of 2000 due one year from now and another 1000 due two years from now. He exactly matches his liabilities with the following two investments: Mortgage I: A one year mortgage in which X is lent. It is repaid with a single payment at time one. The annual effective interest rate is 6%.Mortgage II: A two-year mortgage in which Y is lent. It is repaid with two equal annual payments. The annual effective interest rate is 7%. Calculate X + Y.
Answer:
The value of X+Y=2,769
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
x=present value of 2,000
=2,000/(1+0.06)=1,886.79
y=present value of 1,000
=1,000(1+0.07)∧2=873.44
x+y=1,886.79+873.44
=2,760.23
=2,769
The value of X+Y=2,769
Answer:
$2,760.23
Explanation:
As X and Y is the mortgage value, and we need to calculate it by using following formula
FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n
PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n
First we will calculate the X
Where FV =Future Value = 2,000
r = Annual effect interest rate = 6%
n = numbers of periods = 1 Year
By Placing values in the formula
PV = $2,000 / ( 1 + 6% )^1
PV = $1,886.79
Now we will Calculate the Y
Where FV =Future Value = 1,000
r = Annual effect interest rate = 7%
n = numbers of periods = 2 Year
By Placing values in the formula
PV = $1,000 / ( 1 + 7% )^2
PV = $873.44
As we need to calculate
X + Y = ?
So,
X + Y = $1,886.79 + $873.44 = $2,760.23
Suppose that on March 1, 2014 Cardullo's purchased an order of German chocolate from a supplier for $250, but didn't pay cash for the order until March 31, 2014. How would you record this transaction at the time of the purchase?
Answer:
Dr merchandise inventory $250
Cr accounts payable $250
Explanation:
The appropriate thing to do on the transaction date would be to recognize that $250 is being owed to the supplier from whom the German chocolate was bought by crediting accounts payable with $250 and debiting merchandise inventory with the same amount.
Upon payment on 31 March 2014,the accounts payable amount is reversed by a way of debit and cash account credited accordingly with the $250 to show an outflow of cash from the business.

You are thinking about renting a room in a house next year with three of your friends. For each month's rent, you are willing to pay $435, your first friend is willing to pay $400, your second friend is willing to pay $560, and your third friend is willing to pay $460. The landlord agrees to offer each of you separate leases but will charge you all the same price: $400. You decide this is a good deal, so you and your friends move in. A couple of months later, you learn from someone who knows the landlord that he would have been willing to rent each room for $350 per month. 1. What is the amount of producer surplus per month?$ 2. What is the amount of total consumer surplus per month? $ 3. What is the amount of total surplus each month? $
Answer:
1. $200
2. $255
3. $455
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the least price a producer is willing to sell his product and the price of the good.
Producer surplus = price - least price of the product
$400 - $350 = $50
$50 × 4 = $200
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = highest amount a consumer would be willing to pay - price
Consumer surplus for me = $435 - $400 = $35
Consumer surplus for the first friend = $400 - $400 = 0
Consumer surplus for the second friend = $560 - $400 = $160
Consumer surplus for the third friend = $460 - $400 = $60
Total surplus = consumer surplus + producer surplus
Total consumer surplus = $60 + $160 + 0 + $35 = $255
Total surplus = $255 + $200 = $455

In July, one of the processing departments at Okamura Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $26,000 and ending work in process inventory of $31,000. During the month, the cost of units transferred out from the department was $161,000. In the department's cost reconciliation report for July, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be:
Answer:
$192,000
Explanation:
Using the weighted-average method the Costs to be accounted for will be:
Cost of ending work in process inventory$31,000
Add Cost of units transferred out $161,000
Total cost accounted for$192,000
Therefore using the Weighted average method the cost to be accounted for will be $192,000
Assume yourself as a Marketing Specialist of a Company and Determine the New Product Development Process by manufacturing a New Product for your company.
Explanation:
Assuming my company produces body care products and decides to introduce a new product–a toothbrush, the development process would involve:
1. Idea Generation:
It smbegins with an idea or imagination of what the ideal toothbrush would be, what problem would it solve for consumers. The idea could be random or it could be as a result of an identified need.
2. Idea Evaluation:
Remember, it is one thing to have an idea but another to have an idea that would work. Therefore, quality time would be taken to separate workable ideas about the ideal toothbrush from bad ones. This idea evaluation process is a very useful stage in the product development process.
3. Concept Development and Testing:
Remember, testing the concept about the new toothbrush allows for an expanded idea. The prototype of the toothbrush would be tested with consumers to find out whether the idea is worth the effort. Their feedback would be noted to improve the product further.
4. Marketing strategy
5. Final Product development
Heather Hudson makes stuffed teddy bears. Recent information for her business follows: Selling price per bear$35.00 Total fixed cost per month 1,500.00 Variable cost per bear 24.00 Determine the degree of operating leverage if she sells 350 bears this month. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 35.00
Answer:
1.64
Explanation:
Heather Hudson degree of operating leverage
Formula for degree of operating leverage will be:
Degree of Operating Leverage = Total Contribution Margin / Net Operating Income
Total CM = (35-24) * 350
= 3,850
Formula for Net operating income
Net Operating income = Contribution Margin – Fixed Costs
= 3,850 – 1,500 =2,350
Therefore:
Operating Leverage =
3,850/2,350
= 1.64
Answer:
1.64
Explanation:
Heather Hudson is a manufacturer of stuffed teddy bears, the following are the current information gotten from her business
Selling price of the bear= $35
Total fixed cost per month= 1,500
Variable cost for one near= 24
The formular used to calculate the degree of operating leverage is
= Total contribution margin/ Net operating income
First of all we have to find the Total contribution margin
= (35-24)×350
= 11×350
= 3,850
Total contribution cost = 3,850
The next step is to find the Net operating income
= Contribution margin-fixed costs
= 3,850-1,500
= 2,350
Therefore the degree of operating leverage is
= 3,850/2350
= 1.64
Hence Heather Hudson degree of operating leverage if she sells 350 bears for a month is 1.64
Games Galore Corp. hires Haley, a minor, to create new customized game software for certain clients. Haley signs a contract that requires her to work for Games Galore for eighteen months. Before beginning work, however, Haley tells Games Galore that she will not create new software for Games Galore and that she is going to work for Ideal Worldcraft, Inc., a Games Galore competitor. Is Games Galore's contract with Haley enforceable? Why or why not?
Explanation:
In the scenario exemplified in the question above, it can be said that because he is a minor, Haley's contract with Games Galore can be canceled.
Therefore, if the case is brought to court, it will likely be determined that Haley will return the valuable work materials provided by Game Galore and any amounts received by Haley that were provided for in the contract.
Consider the following production data for Alternatives A and B in a firm that uses a 10% interest rate. Annual fixed cost per unit Alt A - $ 2 million Alt B - $ 3.5 million Annual variable cost per unit Alt A - $ 850 Alt B - $250 If the company is going to produce 4000 units annually, which alternative should be chosen? a. Alt. A b.Neither alternative should be chosen because the negative cash flows are greater than the positive cash flows for both alternatives. c. This problem cannot be solved because there is not enough data given. d. Alt. B
ANSWER: This problem cannot be solved because there is not enough data given. Option C is the most correct option.
EXPLANATION: when setting up a business, we consider all alternative of production, and determine the one that has a lower cost and still gives the best output, that is optimization.
For the question: it cannot be solved because of the negative sign in the cost, which needs to be explained further in the question. This cost cannot be entered into book keeping unless more explanation is given to the negative sign, as cost is not revenue. It is the money spent already and should have a positive sign.
Carol Corp. has a component that is a discontinued operation. The revenues and expenses of the component were $100,000 and $160,000, respectively. The component was sold with a resulting gain of $200,000. The tax rate is 40%. What is the total gain or loss on discontinued operations (net-of-tax effects) that will be reported on the income statement
Answer:
$84,000 gain
Explanation:
Carol Corp total gain or loss on discontinued operation
Revenues $100,000
Expenses $160,000
Components sold $200,000
Hence:
$100,000-$160,000+$200,000
= $140,000
$140,000 * net of tax 60%
= $84,000 gain
The tax rate of 40%
100%-40%=60% as the net tax rate
"What is the value today of $1,400 per year, at a discount rate of 10 percent, if the first payment is received 5 years from now and the last payment is received 26 years from today
Answer:
Present Value= $7,518.22
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,400 per year
Interest rate= 10 percent
Number of years= 21 years
5 years from now a
First, we need to calculate the value of the investment 5 years from now. To do that, we determine the final value and then the present value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {1,400*[(1.10^21)-1]}/0.1
FV= 89,603.50
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 89,603.50/ (1.1^21)
PV= 12,108.17
Finally, the value today:
PV= 12,108.17/1.1^5
PV= $7,518.22
Brockman Corporation's earnings per share were $3.50 last year, and its growth rate during the prior 5 years was 9.0% per year. If that growth rate were maintained, how many years would it take for Brockman's EPS to triple
Answer:
12.75 years
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
The earnings of Brockman Corporation per share is =$3.50
The growth rate in 5 years = 9.0%
Now,
We apply this formula which is stated below:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
P = present value
n = period of time
r = the rate of interest
Thus,
(3*3.5)=3.5*(1.09)^n
3=(1.09)^n
By applying long on either side we have the following
log 3=n*log (1.09)
n=log 3/log (1.09)
Approximately, this is equal to =12.75 years
Therefore, it will take Brockman's EPS to triple in 12 .75 years.
