You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. One of the stocks has a beta of 1.31 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market. What must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?
Answer:
the beta of stock₂ = 1.69
Explanation:
the weight of each security is ¹/₃ of the portfolio:
the risk free asset has a beta of 0stock₁ has a beta of 1.31stock₂ has a beta of ?the portfolio's beta is 1
1 = (¹/₃ x 0) + (¹/₃ x 1.31) + (¹/₃ x ?)
1 = 0.437 + (¹/₃ x ?)
1 - 0.437 = (¹/₃ x ?)
0.563 = (¹/₃ x ?)
? = 0.563 / ¹/₃ = 1.689 = 1.69
the beta of stock₂ = 1.69
Josh was a mechanic. One day when he attempted to weld a car's gasoline tank, it exploded and he was hurt. He filed to collect workers' compensation. His employer resisted on grounds that Josh had been negligent and had also violated the express regulations of the company when he attempted to weld a gasoline tank. Which statement is correct
Answer:
Josh can recover even if he was negligent and violated the employer's rules.
Explanation:
Worker's compensation is a type of insurance that covers wage and medical costs of an employee that was injured in the course of working for the employer.
Accidents can happen during the course of doing official duty, so worker's compensation provides a cover from financial burden when the employee becomes unproductive as a result of the accident.
Generally the issue of negligence on the part of the employee is not considered.
So Jos will be able to recover worker compensation when he was injured from the car gas tank explosion.

Distinguish between serial activities and concurrent activities why do we seek to use concurrent activities as a way to shorten the project length
Answer and Explanation:
Serial activities are activities that are performed one after the other. In serial activities, one step in a job is finished before the other step starts. In other words more time may be spent as against concurrent activities whereby the two steps in a job can be performed at the same time such that the second step can start while the first step of the job is in progress. Managers prefer concurrent activities because it saves time as jobs are completed faster when steps can be performed "concurrently"

The cost of the land that should be recorded by Coronado Industries is
Answer:
The cost of the land that should be recorded by Coronado Industries is $1,492,860.
Explanation:
Cost of Land = Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down 2 Buildings - Salvage + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost
Cost of Land = $1,350,000 + $116,000 + $8,300 + $5,160 + $3,500 + $9,1900
Cost of Land = $1,492,860

Jenna decides to purchase a U.S. Treasury Bill for 95,000. The Treasury Bill matures in 180 days for 100,000. Let QR be the quoted rate on this U.S. Treasury Bill. Let j be the annual effective yield on this U.S. Treasury Bill assuming a 365 day year. Calculate j−QR.
Answer:
J-QR =0.96
Explanation:
Quoted interest rate(QR) is nominal interest rate that does not take compounding into consideration
Effective interest rate(J) is real interest rate that accounts for compounding
face value of tbill = 100,000
price = 95,000
time remaining for maturity, n = 180
QR T-Bill = [(Face Value - Price)/(Face Value)] *(360/n) = [(100,000-95,000)/100,000]*(360/180) = (5000/100,000)*2 = 0.10 or 10%
j = (1+ ((Face Value - Price)/price))(365/n) -1 = (1+((100,000-95,000)/95,000))(365/180) -1 = (1+(5000/95000))2.027778 -1 = 0.1096131
j = 0.1096131 or 10.96131% or 10.96%
Therefore j-QR = 10.96-10 = 0.96%
Crane Company has two divisions—Standard and Premium. Each division has hundreds of different types of tennis racquets and tennis products. The following information is available: (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) Standard Division Premium Division Total Sales $300000 $700000 $1000000 Variable costs $180000 280000 Contribution margin $120000 $420000 Total fixed costs $300000 What is the break-even point in dollars?
Answer:
The break-even point sales in dollars are $555,555.60
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio= (Total contribution margin / Total sales ) ×100
Contribution margin ratio= (S′ s contribution margin + P's contribution margin) / Total sales * 100
Contribution margin ratio = $120000 + $420000) / $1000000 * 100
Contribution margin ratio = 54%
Therefore, the contribution margin ratio of sales mix is 54%.
Break Even Point sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
=$300,000 / 54%
=$555,555.60
Therefore, the break-even point sales in dollars are $555,555.60
You buy a share of stock, write a one-year call option with X = $12, and buy a one-year put option with X = $12. Your net outlay to establish the entire portfolio is $11.50. What must be the risk-free interest rate? The stock pays no dividends.
Answer:
4.35%
Explanation:
You buy a share of stock, write a one-year call option with X = $12, and buy a one-year put option with X = $12. Your net outlay to establish the entire portfolio is $11.50. What must be the risk-free interest rate? The stock pays no dividends.
Given the following :
1 - year call option with X = $12
1- year put option with X = $12
Net outlay to establish portfio = $11.50
No dividend
Risk-free interest rate :
(X / net outlay) - 1
(12 / 11.50) - 1
1.0434782 - 1
= 0.0434782
Expressing as a percentage :
0.0434782 * 100
= 4.347%
=4.35%
An investor purchases a long call at a price of $2.60. The strike price at expiration is $37. If the current stock price is $37.10, what is the break-even point for the investor?
Answer: $39.60
Explanation:
A long call makes a profit when the price of the underlying stock is higher than the strike price and the cost of acquiring the call.
The Break-even point for the investor will be at the point where the underlying stock price will be the same as the strike price plus the cost paid to purchase the call.
Break-even point = Strike price + Price of call
= 37 + 2.60
= $39.60
king costume uses a periodic inventory system. The company started the month with 9 masks in its begining inventory that cost %8 each. During the month, King Costume purchased 41 additional masks for $10 each. At the end of the month, King counted its inventory and found that 3 masks remained unsold. Using the LIFO method, its cost of goods sold for the month is:______.
a. $434.
b. $440.
c. $24.
d. $428.
The options given in the question are incorrect. The options are correct with respect to the question if beginning inventory is 6 masks.
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the month is $458
Explanation:
The LIFO or last in first out is a method for inventory valuation. It values the closing inventory assuming that it contains the units that were present in the inventory at the very start of the period. Thus, the cost of goods sold contains the units that were most recently purchased.
The number of units available for sale was = 9 + 41 = 50
The sales in units = 50 - 3 = 47
Out of the 47 units of masks sold, under LIFO, the 41 masks will be from the masks purchased in the month while the remaining 6 masks will be from the opening inventory as the inventory that is bought later is sold first.
The cost of goods sold for the month under LIFO will be,
Cost of Goods Sold
41 masks at $10 each $410
6 masks at $8 each $48
Total value of COGS $458

Assume that during the past year the consumer price index increased by 1.5 percent and the securities listed below returned the following nominal rates of return.
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25
A. What are the nominal rates of return for each of these securities?
B. If next year the nominal rates all rise by 10 percent (i.e. multiply by 1.1, do NOT add 0.10) while inflation climbs from 4 percent to 5 percent, what will be the real rate of return on each security?
Answer:
A)
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25%
B)
real rate of return = [(1 + nominal rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
nominal rate = 5.5% x 1.1= 6.05%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.05%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25
nominal rate = 6.25% x 1.1= 6.875%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.875%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1.79%
Find the duration of a bond with settlement date June 11, 2018, and maturity date December 15, 2027. The coupon rate of the bond is 4%, and the bond pays coupons semiannually. The bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 5%.
Answer:
The duration of a bond is 7 years and 7 months.
Explanation:
The settlement date is the date that the bond transaction is concluded, the date that the buyer must pay for the bond and the seller must deliver the asset.
The maturity date is the date where the seller will receive an amount equal to the principle or nominal amount of the bond.
Thus, the duration of the bond is the period between the settlement date (June 11, 2018) and the maturity date (December 15, 2027).
The period is 7 years and 7 months
The constraint at Johngrass Corporation is time on a particular machine. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below: VT UV LQ Selling price per unit $335.09 $228.37 $199.12 Variable cost per unit $259.44 $173.26 $159.79 Minutes on the constraint 6.60 3.40 4.60 Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product. Up to how much should the company be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource
Answer:
$8.55 per minute
Explanation:
The computation of willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource is shown below:-
= (Selling price - Variable cost) ÷ Minutes on the constraint
= ($199.12 - $159.79) ÷ 4.60
= $39.33 ÷ 4.60
= $8.55 per minute
Therefore for computing the willingness to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource we simply applied the above formula.

Mannix Corporation stock currently sells for $57 per share. The market requires a return of 11 percent on the firm’s stock. If the company maintains a constant 3.75 percent growth rate in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock?
Answer:
$3.98 per share
Explanation:
Calculation for what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock
First step is to find the price of stock
Using this formula
Price of stock = Next Expected Dividend/(Required Return - Growth Rate)
Let plug in the formula
$57 = D1/(11%-3.75%)
D1=$57×0.0725
D1 = 4.1325
Second step is to find the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock
Using this formula
Most recent dividend = Next Expected Dividend/(1+growth Rate)
Let plug in the formula
Most recent dividend= 4.1325/(1.0375)
Most recent dividend=$3.98 per share
Therefore the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock will be $3.98 per share
What would the year 3 stock price need to be to meet your required rate of return of 13%?
Answer: $105.49
Explanation:
The Value of the stock today is given by;
[tex]P = \frac{D1}{1 + r} + \frac{D2}{(1+r)^2} + \frac{D3}{(1+r)^3} + \frac{P3}{(1+r)^3}[/tex]
[tex]80 = \frac{2}{1 + 0.13} + \frac{3}{(1+0.13)^2} + \frac{4}{(1+0.13)^3} + \frac{P3}{(1+0.13)^3}[/tex]
[tex]P3 = (80 * {1.13^3) - (\frac{2}{1.13} + \frac{3}{1.13^2} + \frac{4}{1.13^3})[/tex]
P3 = $105.49

Provide two examples of goods/services that are classified as private goods/services even though they are provided by a federal government.
Answer: Post office; toll roads
Explanation:
Private goods are goods that have two main features which are rivalry and excludability. Private goods have to be bought before they can be used.
The goods/services that are classified as private goods/services even though they are provided by a federal government are post offices and toll roads.
Even though they're both provided by the government, individuals have to pay to use toll roads and also had to pay for stamps and other things before their delivery are made at the post office.
