Consider the following information: Portfolio Expected Return Beta Risk-free 5 % 0 Market 10.6 1.0 A 8.6 0.9 a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Expected return of portfolio A = 10.04%

b. Alpha of portfolio A = 1.44%

c. No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.

Explanation:

Given:

Portfolio           Expected Return       Beta

Risk-free                     5  %                     0

Market                     10.6                       1.0

A                               8.6                       0.9

a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Expected return of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM = Risk free rate + (Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)) = 5% + (0.9 * (10.6% - 5%)) = 10.04%

b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Alpha of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM - Expected return = 10.04% - 86% = 1.44%

c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?

No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.

Often, an organization makes a portion of its ________ accessible to external parties as its extranet.a. blog.b. inner firewall.c. internet.d. intranet.

Answers

Answer:

d. intranet.

Explanation:

A local area network (LAN) refers to a group of personal computers (PCs) or terminals that are located within the same general area and connected by a common network cable (communication circuit), so that they can exchange information from one node of the network to another. A local area network (LAN) is typically used in small or limited areas such as a set of rooms, a single building, school, hospital, or a set of well-connected buildings.

Generally, some of the network devices or equipments used in a local area network (LAN) are an access point, personal computers, a switch, a router, printer, etc.

An intranet can be defined as a private computer network established within an organization and is typically used for securely sharing organizational informations, computing resources, operational system, and collaboration tools between employees through an internet protocol (IP). Thus, it's mainly a private network that is only accessible to authorized users or employees within an organization.

However, an organization often makes a portion of its intranet accessible to external parties such as vendors, authorized customers, partners, etc., as its extranet in order to have access to business information.

Answers

Answer:

$2,167,228

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the value of the levered firm

First step is calculate Unlevered firm value using this formula

Unlevered firm value = EBIT(1 - Tax) / Cost of equity

Let plug in the formula

Unlevered firm value = $344,000(1 - 0.34) / 0.124

Unlevered firm value = $344,000(0.66)/0.124

Unlevered firm value = $1,830,968

Now let calculate the Levered firm value using this formula

Levered firm value = Unlevered firm value + (Debt * Tax rate)

Let plug in the formula

Levered firm value = $1,830,968 + ($989,000 * 0.34)

Levered firm value = $1,830,968+$336,260

Levered firm value = $2,167,228

Therefore the value of the levered firm is $2,167,228

Suppose there are three factories in Macroland and the following occurred in 2019: Metal, plastic and a car factory. Metal factory produces $200, plastic factory produces $500, and car factory produces $700, of its respective products. The metal factory sells all of its output to the car factory. The plastic factory sells $80 worth of plastic to the car factory, $20 to the government, and the rest to consumers. The Car factory exports $50 of its cars and sells the rest to consumers.

Required:
What is the GDP of Macroland in 2019?

Answers

Answer:

$1120

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP is shown below:

Y = C + I + G + X

Here Y denotes the GDP

C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and  700 - 50 = $650

I denotes the investment  = $

G denotes the government purchase = $20

X denotes the net exports = $50

So,  

Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50

= $1120

In 2010 the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) reported that nonfinancial companies in the United States had around $2 trillion in cash and short-term liquid assets. As the U.S. economy was still struggling, consumer spending remained low, and companies resisted in investing in new projects that would create value for their stakeholders.
As the economy improves, uncertainty in the markets decreases, and companies will start investing in projects. However, the challenge of analyzing and selecting projects that would generate cash flows and returns and add value to the firm would remain.
The assumptions in the analysis about cost of equity and debt—overall and for projects—have a significant impact on the type and the value of investments that a company makes.
According to the Association of Finance Professionals’ report, published in 2011 on current trends in estimating and applying the cost of capital, companies use a discount rate that is usually above or below 1% of the company’s true rate. Using this information and certain inputs from the Fed, Michael Jacobs and Anil Shivdasani estimated that a 1% drop in the cost of capital leads U.S. companies to increase their investment by about $150 million over three years.
Based on your understanding of the concept of cost of capital, which of the following statements are valid?
a. Companies always use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate to analyze the financial viability of projects.
b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth.
c. Investors care about the incremental value addition that new projects are making; they are least concerned with the discount rates that the company uses.
d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.

Answers

Answer:

b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth.  d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.

Explanation:

A  company's estimate of cost of capital, is serious because it is used in the calculations of the returns from a new investment which is used to calculate the value of the firm and its shareholders. They therefore need to make these estimates as accurate as possible.

Companies also incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital so that the investors who provided this capital, can be ensured of a return on their investment because it would be accounted for in analysis of new investments.

To record the issuance of the bonds.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

December 1, 2020:

Face value of nonconvertible bonds with detachable stock purchase warrants = $800,000

Issue price of bonds = $832,000 (1.04 * 800 * $1,000)

Number of bonds issue = 800

Par value per bond = $1,000

Maturity period = 10 years

Coupon interest rate = 10%

Option price of each warrant = $15 per common stock share

Market price of the option = $3

Value of warrant = $4,800 ($3 * 800 * 2)

Allocation of bond price:

Bonds = $827,038 ($800,000/$804,800 * $832,000)

Warrants = $4,962 ($4,800/$804,800 * $832,000)

Suppose Skyler invests in an annuity that pays 3.2% annual interest, compounded monthly. If she contributes $155 every month for 10 years, how much interest would she earn during that time

Answers

Answer: $3,286.47

Explanation:

Find the future value of the annuity after 10 years.

Number of periods = 10 * 12 months = 120 months

Interest = 3.2% / 12 = 3.2/12%

Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( (1 + rate)^ number of periods- 1) / rate

= 155 * ( ( 1 + 3.2%/12) ¹²⁰- 1) / 3.2%/12

= $21,886.47

The find the amount that the money would have come to without being invested:

= 155 * 120 months

= $18,600

Interest is:

= 21,886.47 - 18,600

= $3,286.47

Answers

Answer:

d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.

Explanation:

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.

Simply stated, cost-benefit analysis is a form of utilitarianism commonly used by individuals, business firms and government in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined and analyzed.

This ultimately implies that, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) sums the total cost associated with a project (activity) and compares this cost against the total benefits that would be generated. Thus, it helps in the decision-making process by comparing the net present value (NPV) of the cost of a particular project with the net present value (NPV) of its benefits.

In this context, the cost-benefit analysis of a highway would be difficult to conduct because analysts will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.

This ultimately implies that, the value or cost benefits associated with the highway is difficult to ascertain or estimate.

$3.00 per pound (Oranges)

A) 125.0
B) 100.0
C) 95.0
D) 110.0

Answers

Answer:

125

Explanation:

Given the table:

Year

Price of Apples

Price of Oranges

2017

$2.0 per pound (Apples)

$2.00 per pound (Oranges)

2018

$1.5 per pound (Apples)

$3.00 per pound (Oranges

Consumer price index is obtained using the formular :

CPI = (Cost of market basket In current period / Cost of market basket in base period) * 100

Current period (2018):

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($1.5 * 10) + ($3 * 20) = $15 + $60 = $75

Base year (2017)

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($2 * 10) + ($2 * 20) = $20 + $40 = $60

Hence,

CPI = ($75 / $60) * 100

CPI = 1.25 * 100

CPI = 125

When the capital is plotted on the vertical axis and labor is plotted along the horizontal​ axis, then the marginal rate of technical substitution​ of labor for capital along a convex isoquant will reduce as more and more labor is used. Also, the MRTS equals the negative of the slope of the isoquant and equals the marginal product of labor divided by the marginal product of capital that's MRTSL,K=-MPL/MPK

Therefore, the correct option is All of the above.

a) Take a real time example of a company of your own choice working in Pakistan and then discuss the factors that lead to pressure for local responsiveness. Discuss it in detail. Draw diagram to show the effect.

Answers

Answer:

This responsiveness also promotes the local market orientation of a subsidiary and therefore the strength of its existing network with the businessmen and government authorities.

Explanation:

Usually, firms working within the global market confront two sorts of competitive pressure. They face pressure to scale back costs and pressure to react locally. These competing forces throw a corporation into conflict. It's going to also need a corporation to supply a consistent product on the international market to downstream the experience curve as soon as feasible. In response to local pressures, however, it's necessary for a firm to differentiate its product offering and marketing strategy from one country to a different in an effort to satisfy the various demands arising from domestic consumer preferences, business practices, channels of distribution, competitive conditions and public policies. Because it's going to entail substantial redundancy and a scarcity of product standards to adapt products to varied domestic needs, the result could also be a rise in prices.

While some organizations, like Company A, face a high to scale back cost and low for the reaction of locally, while others, like Company B, face low to scale back costs and high for local reaction, many companies are within the situation of Company C.  It suggests and supports three layers of variables, including environmental, structural, and organizational responsiveness. The analysis of 168 MNE companies within the People's Republic of China shows that environmental complexity and therefore the uniqueness of business culture increase local reaction. Structural variables like the intensity of competition, heterogeneity of demand and localisation of components increase local reaction.

The lifetime of a particular brand of A batteries follows a normal distribution. The mean lifetime of particular brand of A batteries is 1000 hours, with a standard deviation of 100 hours.

d. 32%.
2. What is the probability that a randomly selected battery lasts more than 875 hours?
a. 0.3749.
b. 0.8944.
c. 0.8716.
d. 0.1056.
3. What is the probability that a randomly selected battery lasts between 1150 and 1250 hours?
a. 0.2417.
b. 0.4332.
c. 0.9915.
d. 0.3085.

Answers

Answer:

1. d. 32%

2. a. 0.3749

3. c. 0.9915

Explanation:

Percentage of battery is calculated by;

mean - sample / standard deviation

1100 hours - 875 / 100 = 225 / 875 = 0.3749

z-score calculated based on the probability of battery is 0.6549

[ 1250 - 1150 ] / 1250 = 0.9915

Assume that the U.S. borrowing rate is 8% while the German is 10%. If Euros are borrowed by a U.S. firm for one year, they would have to _____ against the dollar by_____ to have the same effective financing rate as borrowing dollars. Group of answer choices Appreciate, 1.1818%. Appreciate, 1.8518%. Depreciate, 1.6363%. Depreciate, 1.8518%. Depreciate, 1.1818%.

Answers

Answer:

Depreciate 1.1818

Explanation:

U.S. has a borrowing rate of 8% and German has borrowing rate of 10%. If U.S. dollars are borrowed from firm then Euros will depreciate to match with the dollar borrowing.

[1 + 8% ] / [ 1 + 10%] - 1 = - 1.1818
