RTF stock is expected to return 10.6 percent if the economy booms and only 4.2 percent if the economy goes into a recessionary period. The probability of a boom is 55 percent while the probability of a recession is 45 percent. What is the standard deviation of the returns on RTF stock?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.16%

Explanation:

Return   Probability   Expected return μ    r - μ     (r - μ)^2   P(r)*(r - μ)^2

10.60%        0.55                 5.83%               2.88%   0.08%          0.05%

4.20%         0.45                  1.89%               -3.52%   0.12%           0.06%

Total Expected return   =   7.72%                              Variance     0.10%

Variance = 0.10%

Standard deviation = √Variance

Standard deviation = √0.001

Standard deviation = 0.031622

Standard deviation = 3.16%

Thus, the standard deviation of the returns on RTF stock is 3.16%

Oriole's Copy Shop bought equipment for $458400 on January 1, 2020. Oriole estimated the useful life to be 3 years with no salvage value, and the straight-line method of depreciation will be used. On January 1, 2021, Oriole decides that the business will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. What is the revised depreciation expense for 2021?

Answers

Answer:

the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

Explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation is shown below:

Annual Depreciation is

= $458,400 ÷ 3 years

= $152,800

Now the book value would be

= $458,400 - $152,800

= $305,600

Now the revised depreciation is

= $305,600 ÷ 5 years

= $61,120

Hence, the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

The Timberlake-Jackson Wardrobe Co. has 10.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with eight years left to maturity. The bonds make annual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the bonds currently sell for $1,129.70, what is the YTM?

Answers

Answer:

the yield to maturity is 8.50%

Explanation:

The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:

Given that

Future value = $1,000

Present value = $1,129.70

PMT = $1,000 × 10.8% = $108

NPER = 8

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.50%

Hence, the yield to maturity is 8.50%

Mr. David decision to increase inventory holdings resulted from the consistent pressure of Golden Cup’s Board of Directors to increase amount of inventories. Mr. David’s own opinion was that Golden cup is holding enough inventory to keep the business running without costing the company lots of money on inventory carrying costs. On the other hand, BOD believes that in such a dynamic industry, holding more inventory is necessary to keep smooth business operations.


Required:

a. How long does it currently take the company to turnover its inventory?

b. Do you agree with Mr. David’s opinion? Or, With the BOD? And why? Knowing that industry average inventory turnover is 8.

Answers

Answer:

the information is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:

a) days inventory on hand = (average inventory / cost of goods sold) x 365 = ($14,000 / $120,000) x 365 = 42.58 days

b) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $120,000 / $14,000 = 8.57

I agree with Mr. David because the inventory turnover ratio of Golden Cup is already higher than the industry's average. That means that Golden Cup's current inventory level is appropriate and increasing it would only result in higher costs but would have very little influence on the company's sales.

In determining compensation strategy, a major strategic decision is whether to mirror competitors pay.

b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Compensation is the amount that is paid to an employee for work done or services rendered. It is monetary and non monetary payment that is given to a worker.

For compensation to be attractive to employees, it needs to be comparable to compensation of other competitors in the industry.

This will reduce the rate at which employees move to other companies.

But when compensation nos lower in a company they stand the risk of losing their workers to other companies that offer better pay

"Every individual necessarily labors to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally indeed neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good." – Adam Smith what this quote means

Answers

Answer:

This quote highlights Adam Smith - Self Interest, Free Reign, Invisible Hand theories

Explanation:

Adam Smith is the Father of Economics.

His self interest theory states that : Individuals working for the best of self interest implies maximum welfare for society as a whole.

Hence, the free reign idea suggests that people as 'self interest' guided rational economic agents should be left free. The invisible hand of market restores any distortions.

Government intervention is considered to be not only unnecessary, but distortionary.

Sales commissions: 40,000
Salary of production supervisor: 20,000
Indirect materials: 4000
Advertising expense: 8000
Rent on factory equipment: 10000

California Company estimates that 10,000 machine hours will be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per machine hour will be:__________

Answers

Answer:

$3.40 Per Machine Hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

As we know that

Predetermined overhead rate is

= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours

where,

Estiamted Manuafctuing overheads is

= Salary of Prodcution Supervisior + Indirect Material + rent on Factory Equipment

= $20,00 + $4,000 + $10,000

= $34,000

And, the estimated machine hours is 10,000

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $34,000 ÷ 10,000

= $3.40 Per Machine Hour

What is the gain or loss from the December 31, 2019 equipment sale?a. $910,000 gain.b. $90,000 gain.c. $910,000 loss.d. $90,000 loss.

Answers

Answer:

Gain= $90,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $1,000,000

Original price= $5,220,000

Accumulated depreciation= $4,310,000

First, we need to calculate the book value:

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 5,220,000 - 4,310,000

Book value= $910,000

Now, if the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale:

Gain/loss= selling price - book value

Gain/loss= 1,000,000 - 910,000

Gain= $90,000

1. What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%

Answers

Answer:

Percentage decreased by 4.5%

Explanation:

Present value for 5%

Present value for 5% = 100 / (1+5%)

Present value for 5% =100/1.05

Present value for 5% = $95.24  (Approx)

Present value for 10%

Present value for 10% = 100 / (1+10%)

Present value for 10% =100/1.1

Present value for 10% = $90.91   (Approx)

Percentage Change = [(90.91/95.24)-1]100

Percentage Change = -4.5%  

Percentage decreased by 4.5%

b. AVC.
c. AFC.

Answers

Answer:

A perfectly competitive firm will be profitable if price at the profit-maximizing quantity is above: __________

d. MC.

Explanation:

The general rule of profit maximization for a perfectly competitive firm is for the firm (and each firm in the market) to produce the quantity of output where the price (P) = marginal cost (MC).  In this case, the price (P) is a measure of the value that customers place on the good.   The marginal cost (MC) measures what it costs the firm to produce each marginal unit.

Johnson Motors' bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, the bonds have a $1,000 par value, and the coupon rate is 8 percent. The bonds have a yield to maturity of 9 percent. What is the current market price of these bonds?

Answers

Answer:

$935.83

Explanation:

market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 9%)¹⁰ = $422.41

PV of coupon payments = $80 x 6.4177 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 10 periods) = $513.42

current market price = $935.83

Since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount.

a. places less emphasis on market risk
b. recognizes multiple unsystematic risk factors
c. recognizes only one systematic risk factor
d. recognizes multiple systematic risk factors

Answers

Answer:

Option C: Recognizes only one systematic risk factor

Explanation:

Arbitrage pricing theory (APT) is a theory of risk-return relationships gotten from no-arbitrage and considerations in large capital markets

APT was said to be developed by Steve Ross, 1976 and it uses "No-Arbitrage" Assumption. It was designed mainly to provide "economic" variables to the determination of asset pricing.

capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is simply a model that shows the required rate of return on a security to its systematic risk as taken up or measured by beta.
