If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 7 percent, what is its beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the beta of the portfolio is 0.562

Explanation:

The computation of the beta is shown below:

As we know that

Expected return of portfolio = return of stock × weightage of stock + return of risk free asset × weightage of risk free asset

7% = 11% × weightage of stock + 2.4% × (1 - weightage of stock)

weightage of stock = 0.535

Now Beta of portfolio is

= 1.05 × 0.535

= 0.562

hence, the beta of the portfolio is 0.562

Explain which of the following items are money in the U.S. economy. Discuss your answers in terms of three functions of money. 1. US $100 2. Euro 3. Mona Lisa painting 4. American Express credit card

Answers

Answer:

$100

Mona Lisa painting

Explanation:

To start with, I will list the 3 primary functions of money, which are;

store of value,

unit of account, and

medium of exchange.

Going by the above, I would say that 2 of the 4 options presented before us are money, why so?

A $100 bill is definitely money, no much explanation is needed here, because it's used daily as a means of exchange between people

2. Euro is not a form of money in the US. While it is a form of money in many other places, it's not in the US because it doesn't satisfy the "medium of exchange" criteria of function of money. Euro can not be spent in a store or anywhere in the country, without it having been first exchanged into dollars

3. Mona Lisa painting, part of the functions of money is to store value, and I believe very much, a painting is a good store of money in that regard.

4. American Express credit card is not a form of money because unlike money

being used essentially, to pay for goods and services directly, a credit card is more or less, a store of wealth that is lent by the bank

Explanation:

On the variable costing income statement, the figure representing the difference between manufacturing margin and contribution margin is the variable selling and administrative expenses. Variable cost is comprised of cost of goods sold and selling and administrative expense when we deduct cost of goods sold from sales we get manufacturing margin and when we deduct further selling and administrative expense we get contribution margin.

Gaber Land Corp. is evaluating a 4-acre (front 2-acre and back 2-acre) waterfront property for development. Gaber is considering a design that includes a 32-unit building on each lot. Determine the total initial cost using the per unit model

Answers

Complete Question:

Gaber Land Corp. is evaluating a 4-acre waterfront property for development into rental condominiums. The front 2-acre lot is more expensive to purchase than the rear 2-acre lot, and condo leases closer to the waterfront can be more expensive than those units in the rear. Gaber is considering a design that includes a 32-unit building on each lot.

Data includes the following:

Initial Costs

Lot purchase prices: $400,000/acre front lot, $100,000/acre back lot Legal fees, applications, permits, etc.: $80,000

Site clearing and preparation: $3000/acre

Paving roadways, parking, curbs, and sidewalks: 25% of total lot at $40,000/acre.

Construction costs: $3,000,000 per building

Recurring Costs

Taxes and insurance: $5000/month per building

Landscaping: 25% of lot at S1000/acre/month

Security: $1000 building for $1500/month

Other costs: $2000/month

Revenue (assume 90% annual occupancy)

Front lot units: $2500/unit/month

Rear lot units: $1750/unit/month

Other revenue: $5000/month

Answer the following: (1) Use the concept of the per-unit model to estimate the total initial cost. annual cost, and annual revenue of this prospective project, and (2) If you made the simplifying assumption of no changes to costs and revenues for 10 years, estimate the profitability of this prospective investment ignoring the effects of money's value over time.

1b. Annual cost: $5,064,000

1c. Annual revenue: $5,935,200

2. Profitability of Project for 10 years:

Total Revenue  $5,935,200 x 10 years = $59,352,000

Total costs       $5,064,000 x 10 years =   (50,640,000)

Profitability                                                    $8,712,000                    

The profitability totalling $8,712,000 for ten years will be reduced by the allocated cost of building for the same period in order to determine the net income.

Explanation:

 25% of total lot at $40,000/acre.          160,000

Construction costs:

 $3,000,000 per building               192,000,000

Total initial costs                            $193,252,000

Annual costs:

Taxes and insurance: $5000/month per building   $3,840,000

Landscaping: 25% of lot at S1000/acre/month               48,000

Security: $1000 building for $1500/month                 1,152,000

Other costs: $2000/month                                             24,000

Total annual costs                                                    $5,064,000

Revenue (assume 90% annual occupancy)

Front lot units:

$2500/unit/month (32 * 4 * 2,500 * 90% * 12) = $3,456,000

Rear lot units:

$1750/unit/month  (32 * 4* 1,750 * 90% * 12) =      2,419,200

Other revenue: $5000/month ($5,000 * 12) =           60,000

Total annual revenue =                                        $5,935,200

Based on the following information, calculate the cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average assuming a perpetual inventory system is in place.
Beginning Balance - 90 units at $11
March 3 - Purchase 300 units for $15
April 4 - Sell 240 units for $28
June 30 - Purchase 250 units for $18
August 16 - Sell 180 units for $30

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Sales :

FIFO = $ 6,030

LIFO = $6,840

Weighted Average = $6,354.60

Ending Inventory :

FIFO =  $4,176

LIFO = $3,150

Weighted Average = $3,636.60

Explanation:

FIFO

This method assumes that the first inventory purchased will be the first to be sold

Cost of Goods Sold :

90 units × $11   =  $990

150 units × $15 = $2,250

150 units × $15 = $2,250

30 units × $18  = $540

Total                 = $ 6,030

Ending Inventory :

232 units × $18 = $4,176

LIFO

This method assumes that the last inventory purchased, will be the last to be sold

Cost of Sales :

240 units × $15 =  $3,600

180 units × $18 =  $3,240

Total = $6,840

Ending Inventory :

90 units × $11  = $ 990

60 units × $15 = $ 900

70 units × $18 = $ 1,260

Total = $3,150

Weighted Average

A new average cost per unit is calculated with every purchase made.

New Average Cost = (90 units × $11 + 300 units × $15) ÷ 390 units

                                = $14.08

Cost of Sale , April 4 =  240 units × $14.08

                                  =   $3,379.20

New Average Cost = (150 units × $14.08 + 250 units × $18.00) ÷ 400 units

                               = $16.53

Cost of Sale, Aug 16 = 180 units × $16.53

                                  = $2,975.40

Total Cost of Sales =  $3,379.20 + $2,975.40

                                = $6,354.60

Ending Inventory = 220 units × $16.53

                             = $3,636.60

If the beginning cash balance is $6,900, what is the ending cash balance?
a) $75,900.
b) $62,100.
c) $40,500.
d) $6,000.
$12,900.

Answers

Answer:

e. $12,900

Explanation:

Given that:

Net Cash provided by operating activities = $37,500

Net Cash used in investing activities = $13,800

Net Cash used in financing activities = $17,700

Beginning cash balance = $6,900

Stormer company's ending balance would be;

= Beginning cash balance + Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash used in financing activities - Net cash used in investing activities

= $6,900 + $37,500 - $17,700 - $13,800

= $12,900

How should wildlife species like grouse or deer be valued, and how should that value be balanced against the economic interests of a company like Questar? What, if anything, should Questar be doing differently?

Answers

Answer:

The description is summarized in the clarification section below, according to the particular circumstance.

Explanation:

Mostly with rising economic company's best interest including Questar, maintaining wildlife species including grouse as well as deer protected has become much more important. It is not only just the economic gain but also the ecological advantage that would not affect wildlife animals. Preserving the natural environment seems to be the most fundamental way of evaluating animal habitats. The same as deer, animal species should be covered in their habitat. It may also become extinct by upsetting them. The ecosystem is, thus, an important one that should have been taken note that to value certain native wildlife. But because service providers like Questar, who are rocky mountain oil producers, have quite a several financial advantages by exploration in that field, however, this contributes to mining, etc. in something like a wide coverage of the region which destroyed the habitat.Companies should preserve the balance, such as invading the field which is far less occupied by endangered species, reexhibiting certain organisms to a safer location, or putting the region back into the very same old role.

So quester should do these things completely differently, to protect the ecological balance.

Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic? b. Good X and Good Y are related as c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about

Answers

Answer:

a. Price elasticity of demand for good X is -0.80; and the demand is inelastic.

b. Good X and Good Y are related as complements.

c. The cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.

Explanation:

Note: There is an error in the demand function for good X. This is therefore corrected by restating the function as follows:

Q_dx = 15 - 0.5P_x - 0.8 P_y …………………………… (1)

a. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good Y is $10 and the price of good X decreases from $5 to $3, what is the price elasticity of demand for good X? Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic?

From the question and equation (1), we have:

Old price of good X = Old P_x = $5

New price of good X = New P_x = $3

New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 3) - (0.8 * 10) = 5.50

Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 5) - (0.8 * 10) = 4.50

Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the price elasticity of demand is as follows:

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good X ................ (1)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old

quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(5.50 - 4.50) / [(5.50 + 4.50) / 2]} * 100 = 20%

Percentage change in price = {(New price of good X - Old price of good X) / [(New price of good X + Old Price of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(3 - 5) / [(3 + 5) / 2]} * 100 = -25%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Price elasticity of demand for good X = 20% / -25% = -0.80

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand (based on the midpoint formula) when price decreases from $5 to $3 is -0.80.

Since the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for good X i.e. |-0.80| is less than one, the demand is inelastic.

b. Good X and Good Y are related as

From equation (1) above, the coefficient P_Y is -0.80 which shows that it has a negative sign.

The negative sign indicates Good X and Good Y are related as complements. This implies that as price of Good Y falls, the quantity demand of Good X increases.

c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good Y increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about

From the question and equation (1), we have:

Old price of good Y = Old P_y = $8

New price of good Y = New P_y = $10

New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 10) = 2

Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 8) = 3.60

Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the cross price elasticity of demand is as follows:

Cross price elasticity of demand of goods X and Y = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good Y ................ (2)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old

quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(2 - 3.60) / [(2 + 3.60) / 2]} * 100 = -57.1428571428572

Percentage change in price of good Y = {(New price of good Y - Old price of good Y) / [(New price of good Y + Old Price of good Y) / 2]} * 100 = {(10 - 8) / [(10 + 8) / 2]} * 100 = 22.2222222222222

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -57.1428571428572 / 22.2222222222222 = -2.57142857142857

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -2.57

Therefore, the cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.

Note: This confirms that the relationship between Good X and Good Y is complement because the cross-price elasticity between them is negative. That is, an increase in the price of Good Y makes consumer to buy less of Good X which is a complement.

Answers

Answer:

A) -$651,233

Explanation:

The computation of the benefit generated of the remodelling project is shown below:

If we considered the discounted rate i.e. 15% for 5 years of $820,000 so its present value would be $2,748,767 ($820,000 × 3.3521)

And, the predicted cost is $3,400,000

So here the cost is there instead of the benefit of

= $2,748,767 - $3,400,000
