An investor is given the two investment alternatives (Assets A and B) with the following characteristics: Asset Expected Return Standard Deviation of Returns A 18.4 percent 16.5 percent B 10.8 percent 6.8 percent What is the standard deviation of a portfolio comprised of 60 percent of an investor's wealth invested in Asset A and 40 percent invested in Asset B if the correlation between the returns of A and Asset B are 0.70?
Answer:
12.00%
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of standard deviation of a portfolio is provided below:-
Standard deviation of a portfolio = √(Standard deviation of Product 1)^2 × (Weight 1)^2 + Standard deviation of Product 2)^2 × (Weight 2)^2 + 2 × Standard deviation of product 1 × Standard deviation of product 2 × Weight 1 × Weight 2 × Correlation
= √(0.165^2 × 0.6^2) + (0.068^2 × 0.4^2) + (2 × 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.165 × 0.068 × 0.7)
= √0.009801 + 0.0007398 + 0.00376992
= √0.01431076
= 0.119628592
or
= 12.00%
So, we have calculated the standard deviation of a portfolio by using the above formula.
On April 1, Quality Corporation, a U.S. company, expects to sell merchandise to a French customer in three months, denominating the transaction in euros. On April 1, the spot rate is $1.41 per euro, and Quality enters into a three-month forward contract cash flow hedge to sell 400,000 euros at a rate of $1.36. At the end of three months, the spot rate is $1.37 per euro, and Quality delivers the merchandise, collecting 400,000 euros. What are the effects on net income from these transactions?
a. $8,000 Discount Expense plus a $12,000 negative Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
b. $8,000 Discount Expense plus a $12,000 positive Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
c. $8,000 Discount Expense plus a $20,000 negative Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
d. $8,000 Discount Expense plus a $20,000 positive Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
e. $8,000 Discount Expense plus an $8,000 positive Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (d) $8,000 Discount Expense plus a $20,000 positive Adjustment to Net Income when the merchandise is delivered.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Spot rate:
1 euro = $1.41
Now,
Converting 400,000 euros into dollars gives us the following
400,000*1.41 =$564,000
Thys,
Contract rate,
=1 euro = $1.36
So,
Converting 400,000 euros into dollars gives us
400,000*1.36 = $544,000.00
Hence,
The increase in net income =$564,000- $544,000
=$20,000

Explanation:
Beta Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $6.9 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.52 million a year for seven years. The firm uses the subjective approach to assign discount rates to projects. For this project, the subjective adjustment is +2.2 percent. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 9.1 percent and a cost of equity of 17.7 percent. The debt-equity ratio is 2.67 and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the net present value of the project? (Round the answer to the nearest $100.)
Answer:
The net present value of the project is $173,200
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Let Weight of debt = Wd = x
Weight of equity = We = 1-x
Debt / equity = 2.67
x / (1-x) = 2.67
3.67x = 2.67
Weight of Debt = Wd = x = 0.72752
Weight of Equity = We = (1-x) = 1-0.72752 = 0.27248
Cost of debt = rd = 9.1%
Cost of equity = re = 17.7%
Tax rate = t = 34%
Therefore, WACC = [Wd * rd * (1-t)] + [We*re]
= [0.72752 * 9.1%*(1-34%)] + [0.27248 * 17.7%]
= 4.36949% + 4.82290%
= 9.19239%
Hence, Discount rate for the project = 9.19%+2.2% = 11.39%
The net present value of the project is $173,200
The before-tax income for Ivanhoe Co. for 2020 was $104,000 and $81,200 for 2021. However, the accountant noted that the following errors had been made:
1. Sales for 2020 included amounts of $39,000 which had been received in cash during 2020, but for which the related products were delivered in 2021. Title did not pass to the purchaser until 2021.
2. The inventory on December 31, 2020, was understated by $9,400.
3. The bookkeeper in recording interest expense for both 2020 and 2021 on bonds payable made the following entry on an annual basis.
Interest Expense 14,400 Cash 14,400 The bonds have a face value of $240,000 and pay a stated interest rate of 6%. They were issued at a discount of $16,000 on January 1, 2020, to yield an effective-interest rate of 7%.
4. Ordinary repairs to equipment had been erroneously charged to the Equipment account during 2020 and 20221. Repairs in the amount of $8,600 in 2021 and $9,300 in 2022 were so charged. The company applies a rate of 10% to the balance in the Equipment account at the end of the year in its determination of depreciation charges.
Prepare a schedule showing the determination of corrected income before taxes for 2020 and 2021.
Answer:
Corrected Income for 2020 is $ 86540 and for 2021 is $160,610
Explanation:
Ivanhoe Co.
Correction of Income for 2020 2021
The before-tax income $104,000 $81,200
1) Sales (39,000) 39000
2) Inventory (9,400) 9,400
3) Entry wrongly made 14,400 14,400
4) Correct Entry 15,680 15,680
5) Add Depreciation 860 930
Corrected Income $ 86540 $ 160,610
1) Sales are included when the purchaser gets the title . They are the liability of the seller so they will be deducted from 2020 sales and added to 2021.
2) Ending inventory is deducted from COGS as it is understated it will be deducted from 2020 income and added to the 2021 income when it becomes the opening inventory.
3) Interest was received not given so the it will be treated as revenue not expense and added to the income statement.
4) Actual interest received was ($ 240,000- $16,000)* 7% = $ 15680. So an entry for actual interest will be made.
5) Additional amount of depreciation was charged to 2020 and 2021 income statement which will be added back. 10 % of $ 8600= $ 860 for 2020 and 10% of $ 9,300= $ 930 for 2021
The management at Dime Corporation is investigating purchasing equipment that would increase sales revenues by $527,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $339,800 per year. The equipment would cost $425,000 and have a 10 year life with no salvage value. Dime Corporation uses straight-line depreciation for all fixed assets. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (ignore income taxes): A. 44.05% B. 54.05% C. 27.46% D. 34.05%
Answer:
option (D) : 34.05%
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Computation of Simple rate of return :
Investment = $425,000
Depreciation = (Initial cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life
= ($425,000 - 0) ÷ 10
= $42,500
Net profit = Sales revenue - cash operating expense - Depreciation
= $527,000-$339,800-$42,500
= $144,700
Simple rate of return = Net Profit ÷ Investment
= $144,700 ÷ $425,000
= 34.05%
Hence, option (D) is correct answer
Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for $70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of $15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be $65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost $40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of $2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be $6,000 per year.
Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y1.
Answer:
First year: 19,000
Second year: 17,000
Third year: 15,000
Forth year: 13,000
Fifth year: 30,000
Explanation:
We need to subtract from the expected revenue the expected cost for Cash revenue 65,000
Driver Cost: (40,000)
Operating cost: (6,000)
Net cash flow: 19,000
This value stand for the first year
Then this will decrease by 2,000 each year as the driver wages increase over time.
Second year: 19,000 - 2,000 = 17,000
Third year: 17,000 - 2,000 = 15,000
Forth year: 15,000 - 2,000 = 13,000
In the last year we must also include the residual value of the equipment:
Fifth year: 13,000 - 2.000 + 15,000 = 30,000

Given the following diagrams: Q1 = 12 bags. Q2 = 7 bags. Q3 = 19 bags. The market equilibrium price is $46 per bag. The price at point a is $70 per bag. The price at point c is $10 per bag. The price at point d is $56 per bag. The price at point e is $31 per bag. The price at point f is $67 per bag. The price at point g is $32 per bag. Apply the formula for the area of a triangle (Area = ½ × Base × Height) to answer the following questions.
What is the dollar value of the total surplus (producer surplus plus consumer surplus) when the allocatively efficient output level Q1 is being produced?
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of dollar value of the total surplus is shown below:-
Consumer surplus = 1 ÷ 2 × (Point A price - Equilibrium price) × ( Q1 output level )
= 1 ÷ 2 × ($70 - $46) × 12
= $144
Now the producer surplus is
= Producer surplus = 1 ÷ 2 × (Equilibrium price - Point c price ) × Q1 Output level
= 1 ÷ 2 × ($46 - $10) × 12
= $216
Now Total surplus when output level Q1 is being produced is
As we know that
Total surplus = Consumer surplus + Product Surplus
= $144 + $216
= $360
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of dollar value of the total surplus is shown below:-
Consumer surplus = 1 ÷ 2 × (Point A price - Equilibrium price) × ( Q1 output level )
= 1 ÷ 2 × ($70 - $46) × 12
= $144
Now the producer surplus is
= Producer surplus = 1 ÷ 2 × (Equilibrium price - Point c price ) × Q1 Output level
= 1 ÷ 2 × ($46 - $10) × 12
= $216
Now Total surplus when output level Q1 is being produced is
As we know that
Total surplus = Consumer surplus + Product Surplus
= $144 + $216
= $360

he following information was taken from the 2018 financial statements of Jenny Gardner Corporation: Inventory, January 1, 2018 $ 180,000 Inventory, December 31, 2018 240,000 Accounts payable, January 1, 2018 150,000 Accounts payable, December 31, 2018 240,000 Sales revenue 1,200,000 Cost of goods sold 800,000 If the direct method is used in the 2018 statement of cash flows, what amount should Jenny Gardner report as cash payments to suppliers
Answer:
$770,000
Explanation:
Purchase = Ending inventory +Cost of goods sold- Beginning inventory Purchased
= $240,000+$800,000-$180,000= $860,000
Cash paid to suppliers = Beginning AP+ Purchased -Ending AP Cash Payments
= $150,000+$860,000-$240,000 =
$770,000
Therefore the amount that Jenny Gardner should report as cash payments to suppliers is $770,000

On January 1, 20X8, Polo Corporation acquired 75 percent of Stallion Company's voting common stock for $300,000. At the time of the combination, Stallion reported common stock outstanding of $200,000 and retained earnings of $150,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $100,000. The book value of Stallion's net assets approximated market value except for patents that had a market value of $50,000 more than their book value. The patents had a remaining economic life of ten years at the date of the business combination. Stallion reported net income of $40,000 and paid dividends of $10,000 during 20X8.
Required:
a) Based on the preceding information, what balance will Polo report as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8, assuming Polo uses the equity method in accounting for its investment?
Answer:
Polo will report $318,750 as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8
Explanation:
Common stock = $300,000 acquired at 75%
Net income = $40,000
Pay dividends = $10,000
Increase in value of Patent = $50,000
Economic Life = 10
Amortization = $5,000
Therefore, the $ 5000 would be reduced from the net income.
Investments in Polo = $300,000 + [0.75 × (40000 - 10000 - 5000)]
= $300,000+ 0.75(25,000)
= $300,000+ $18,750
= $318,750
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together.
As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 5%.
Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
1. Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and raskels, and then between penguin patties and kipples. In the second column, determine if penguin patties are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with penguin patties.
Relative to Penguin Patties
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Penguin Patties (Yes or No)
Raskels
Kipples
Answer;
Raskels = 0.8 Substitute
Kipples = -1 Complement
Explanation:
Cross-price
elasticity of demand , Complement
Raskels (-4%)/(-5%) = 0.8 Substitute
Kipples (5%)/(-5%) = -1 Complement
Recommended
Raskels No
Ripples Yes
Cross price elasticity = Percentage change in quantity demanded of a good/Percentage change in price of another good.
If it is positive, then it means that the good is a substitute and should not be advertised together.
And If it is complement, then the good is a complement and should be advertised together.

Just before the outbreak of the Corona virus you bought a stock expected to pay a constant dividend (without growth) once every year for the foreseen future. Right after the outbreak you revalue the stock. Due to fact that the company will make zero profits this year, you expect that the dividend at the end of the year cannot be paid. However, you expect the previous dividend schedule to resume in 2 years from now. According to the Dividend Growth Model, how much did your stock lose in value (in percent) due to the corona virus outbreak? Assume that the required return for this stock is 5%.
Answer: 9.3%
Explanation:
If the company continues to payoff its dividend at current rate, then the price of stock will be:
= Dividend/Rate of return
= 1/5%
= 1/0.05
= 20
Now, when the company isn't expected to pay any dividends for the next two years, the price of stock at the end of year 2 will be:
= Dividend/Rate of return
= 1/5%
= 1/0.05
= 20
Price of stock today will be the present value of p2. This will be:
= 20/(1.05^2)
= 20/1.1025
= 18.14
Loss in value= (20-18.4)/20 × 100
= 1.86/20 × 100
= 9.3%
Rafa runs a profit maximizing firm. It turns out that for Rafa his fixed costs are $1,000 and his avoidable fixed costs are $600. In his current short run situation when he has successfully set his marginal revenue equal to his marginal cost where marginal costs are rising, he is disappointed to discover that his economics profits are negative. In fact at this production level his profits are $- 500.
Required:
1. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Rafa's accounting profits must also be negative in the short run.
B) Rafa should shut down in the short run.
C) Rafa should continue to produce at a loss in the short run.
D) If Rafa is a monopolist, he should continue to operate in the short run, otherwise he should shut down.
Answer: C) Rafa should continue to produce at a loss in the short run.
Explanation:
Rafa should continue to produce in the short run because he stands a chance of making profit in the long run. His avoidable fixed costs are $600 and his Economic profits are -$500. In the long run, all costs are variable which means that he should be able to avoid the $600 fixed costs. When he does this, he will then be making an Economic profit of $100 because the $600 in Avoidable fixed cost will be just that, avoided and when that is offset against the -$500, he will get a $100 profit.

At its date of incorporation, Sauder, Inc. issued 100,000 shares of its $10 par common stock at $11 per share. During the current year, Sauder acquired 20,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16 per share and accounted for them by the cost method. Subsequently, these shares were reissued at a price of $12 per share. There have been no other issuances or acquisitions of its own common stock. What effect does the reissuance of the stock have on the following accounts? Explain and show your work.Retained Earnings Additional Paid-in Capitala. Decrease Decreaseb. No effect Decreasec. Decrease No effect
d. No effect No effect
Answer:
Sauder Inc.
The answer is d.
The effect of the reissuance of the stock on:
1)Retained Earnings - No effect
2) Additional Paid-in Capital: No effect
Using the cost method or the par value method, there is no effect on Retained Earnings by the reissuance of stock.
Using the cost method, there is no effect on the Additional Paid-in Capital. Every treasury stock transaction is recorded in the Treasury Stock account without reference to the Additional Paid-in Capital.
Using the par value method, there is an effect on the Additional Paid-in Capital for reissuance of stock at more than the par value.
Workings:
The reissuance would be recorded as follows, using the costing method:
Debit Cash with $240,000
Credit Treasury Stock with $240,000
To record the reissuance of 20,000 shares at $12 per share.
The reissuance would be recorded as follows, using the par value method:
Debit Cash with $240,000
Credit Treasury Stock with $200,000
Credit Additional Paid-in Capital with $40,000
To record the reissuance of 20,000 shares at $12 per share.
Explanation:
Treasury Stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account. There are two methods for recording treasury stock transactions: the costing method and the par value method.
Under the costing method, every treasury stock transaction is recorded in the Treasury Stock account. Under the par value method, the above or below par value elements of treasury stock transactions are recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
If a company applies overhead to production with a predetermined overhead rate, a credit balance in the Factory Overhead account at the end of the period means that: Select one: a. Actual overhead was greater than the overhead amount applied to production. b. The overhead was underapplied for the period. c. The bookkeeper has made an error because the debits don't equal the credits. d. Actual overhead incurred was less than the overhead amount applied to production. e. The balance will be carried forward to the next period as an overhead cost.
Answer:
d) Actual overhead incurred was less than the overhead amount applied to production.
Explanation:
A credit balance in the overhead account implies that overhead is over applied. When overhead is applied the production work in progress,the accounting entries are to debited work in progress and credit the factory overhead the amount of overhead absorbed.
On the other hand, the actual overhead is debited to the factory overhead e account and and credited to their respective indirect material, indirect labour and indirect expenses.
The difference between the amount debited and and credited to the overhead is the over or under applied overhead. A credit and debit balance represent over and under applied overhead respectively
Answer:
Option D. Actual overhead incurred was less than the overhead amount applied to production.
Explanation:
The reason is that during the period, the accountant keeps posting entry of overhead expense at the predetermined rate, which must be adjusted at the end of the period. So if the expense account is been debited, then it means the actual overhead expense was lower than the expense been anticipated. So the right option is D.
Kingbird Company is negotiating to lease a piece of equipment to MTBA, Inc. MTBA requests that the lease be for 9 years. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Kingbird wants a guarantee that the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease is at least $4,000. MTBA agrees to guarantee a residual value of this amount though it expects the residual value of the equipment to be only $2,000 at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the equipment at lease commencement is $60,000, what would be the amount of the annual rental payments Kingbird demands of MTBA, assuming each payment will be made at the beginning of each year and Kingbird wishes to earn a rate of return on the lease of 6%?

Laura Bryant joined Kellogg's straight after university in 2002. She joined the Field Sales team initially. This involved visiting five to ten supermarkets a day to develop relationships at a local level. After two years her hard work was rewarded and she was promoted to Customer Marketing Manager at Head Office. This helped to raise her profile as she wanted to move into marketing. With support from her manager, Laura made the transition from Sales to Marketing as Assistant Brand Manager on Rice Krispies and Frosties. In 2009 she was promoted again to manage the marketing plan for Special K and she is now Brand Manager for Kellogg's Cornflakes. The company has helped motivate her to climb the hierarchy of needs and achieve her career ambitions.
A. Identify and explain the theory of motivation applied by the manager at Kellog’s company. Identify each level and support your answer from examples from the case.
B. Herzberg's motivational factors and Maslow's esteem and self-actualization needs are similar. Explain how organizations can meet these needs.
Answer:
A. The manager at Kellogg's company applied Herzberg's two factors motivational theory. Kellogg provided Laura the enabling environment by creating organizational policies and procedures, supervision, relationships with co-workers and supervisors, physical work environment, job security, promotions, and rewards which propelled Laura to aspire for great responsibilities and achieve her career ambitions.
By applying the motivational factors, such as recognition of Laura's efforts, giving her appropriate responsibilities at each level of her development in the organization, and raising her profile and advancement with promotions, Laura's manager motivated her with what Herberg described as "intrinsic job elements." And the Kellogg company must have provided the extrinsic job elements which enabled both the manager and Laura to perform their jobs well.
B. Herzberg's motivational factors are the intrinsic job elements like achievement, recognition, nature of work, responsibility, advancement, and growth and Maslow's self-esteem and self-actualization needs are similar. Maslow's self-esteem and self-actualization needs indicate that an individual, after satisfying physiological, security, and sociological needs, will aspire to greater needs. These greater needs stated as self-esteem and self-actualization needs are represented by such factors as respect, valued work contribution in a supportive environment, and a sense of personal responsibility and achievement, among others.
Organizations can meet these self-esteem and self-actualization needs (according to Maslow) by being aware of and promoting Herzberg's two factors motivational model, thus creating the enabling environment for individual achievement, advancement, and growth. In Laura's Kellogg Company, she was given a chance (employment), put in relevant positions, promoted several times, and was motivated "to climb the hierarchy of needs and achieve her career ambitions."
Explanation:
Herzberg's two factors motivational theory states that "two factors affect motivation in the workplace." Herzberg called these factors, "the hygiene factors and motivating factors." Hygiene factors are "extrinsic job factors that will cause an employee to work less if they are not present." But, motivating factors encourage an employee to work harder if present.
Maslow identified human needs in a hierarchical order, starting from physiological needs (food and other basic necessities of life), security needs (job security, financial security, etc.), sociological needs (acceptance and love), self-esteem needs (respect, achievement, recognition, etc.), and finally self-actualization needs (creativity, peak experience of life, objectivity, etc.).
