Stock A comprises 70% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises 30% of the portfolio. If the variance of return on the portfolio is 0.042, the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice 0.088 0.304 0.213 0.091

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.304

Explanation:

The calculation has been done step by step in order to understand the final result. Note that (p) in the below working refers to the correlation coefficient between Stock A and B.

0.042 = (0.70^2)(0.23^2) + (0.30^2)(0.29^2) + 2(0.70)(0.30)(0.23)(0.29)p

0.042 = 0.0259 + 0.0076 + 0.028p

0.042 = 0.0335 + 0.028p

0.042 - 0.0335 = 0.028p

0.0085 = 0.028p

p = 0.0085 / 0.028

p = 0.304

December 31, Year 1         $418,738                $410,171 ($6,836,187 * 6%)

= Cash payment + Semi-annual

Amortization of bonds discount

=                        ($396,000 + $22,738)    

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds issued = $7,200,0

Cash received = $6,836,187

Total bonds discount = $363,813 ($7,200,000 - $6,836,187)

Period of bonds = 8 years

Interest rate of bonds = 11%

Effective interest rate = 12%

Semi-annual cash payment = $396,000 ($7,200,000 * 11% * 6/12)

First interest expense on December 31 Year 1 = $410,171 ($6,836,187 * 12% * 6/12)

Amortization of bond discount for the first six months = $14,171 ($410,171 - $396,000)

Bond balance after the first six months = $6,850,358 ($6,836,187 + $14,171)

Second interest expense on June 30, Year 2 = $411,021 ($6,850,358 * 6%)

Amortization of bond discount for the second six months (June 30, Year 2) = $15,021 ($411,021 - $396,000)

Bond balance on June 30, Year 2 = $6,865,379 ($6,850,358 + $15,021)

Straight-line method amortization:

Semi-annual amortization of bond discount = $22,738 ($363,813/16)

Interest expense = $396,000

Chris invests a total of $19,000 in two accounts. The first account earned a rate of return of 13% (after a year). However, the second account suffered a 2% loss in the same time period. At the end of one year, the total amount of money gained was $1,495.00. How much was invested into each account

Answers

Answer:

Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500

Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500

Explanation:

To calculate the amount invested in each account, we must first calculate the total return earned by Chris as a percentage of his investment.

Total Return/gain = 1495 / 19000  = 0.078684 or 7.8684%

To calculate the overall return, we must use the weighted average of returns provided by each account. The weighted average can be calculated as follows,

Average Overall Return =  wA  *  rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

w represents the weight of investment in each account as a percentage of overall investmentr represents the return provided by each account

Let weight of investment in account that provided 13% return be x

Let weight of investment in account that provided -2% return be (1 - x)

0.078684  =  x  *  0.13  +  (1-x)  *  -0.02

0.078684  =  0.13x  -  0.02  +  0.02x

0.078684 +  0.02  =  0.15x  

x = 0.098684 / 0.15

x = 0.65789333333 or 65.789333333%

Amount invested in account with 13% return = 19000 * 65.789333333%

Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500

Amount invested in account with -2% return = 19000 * (1 - 65.789333333%)

Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500

Required: Calculate Red's debt to assets ratio and its long-term debt to equity ratio. Round your answers to four decimal places, if required. Debt to Total Assets fill in the blank 1 Long-Term Debt to Total Equity fill in the blank 2

Answers

Answer:

A. Debt to Total Assets ratio 0.5833 times

B. Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio 0.48 times

Explanation:

A. Calculation for Red's debt to assets ratio using this formula

Debt to Total Assets ratio = Total Liabilities/

Total Assets

Let plug in the formula

Debt to Total Assets ratio=$1,750,000/$3,000,000

Debt to Total Assets ratio=0.5833 times

Therefore the Debt to Total Assets ratio will be 0.5833 times

B. Calculation to determine its long-term debt to equity ratio

First step is to calculate the Shareholders’ Equity using this formula

Shareholders’ Equity = Total Assets – Total outside liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Shareholders’ Equity = $3,000,000-$1,750,000 Shareholders’ Equity =$1,250,000

Now let calculate the Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio using this formula

Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio = Long Term Debt/ Total Shareholder’s equity

Let plug in the formula Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio=$600,000/$1,250,000

Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio= 0.48 times

Therefore Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio will be 0.48 times

Common stocks are an example of an asset class. Hence, option C is correct.

What is Common stocks?

The most accessible form of a company's shares, known as common stock, is what you would most usually come across when trading equities on an exchange. These shares normally have voting privileges but are paid out last in the order of preference if a corporation goes bankrupt.

Common stocks are securities that indicate a person's ownership in a particular firm and their right to share in the venture's profits. Such a stock option grants people the right to vote for the company's board of directors and also gives them the ability to influence business policy.

The primary distinction between preferred and common stock is that common stock grants stockholders voting rights, whilst preferred stock does not.

Thus, option C is correct.

Answers

Answer:

does not need a required rate to calculate

is the rate at which npv is zero

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is an example of capital budgeting method

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

Projects with the IRR greater than the discount rate should be accepted. It means that it is profitable.

Projects with more than one negative cash flow are unsuitable for calculating with IRR. This is because it can lead to multiple IRR, Thus, it not suitable for analysing all investment scenarios.

The net present value is the most preferred capital budgeting method

Other capital budgeting methods includes

1. profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)  

2. Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value  

3. Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

4. Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Heidi is having trouble understanding the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and why her workplace sent out an email affirming the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This is probably because as a white woman from a small town with little exposure to diversity efforts, Heidi has not had much education about what BLM is trying to accomplish. She is wrestling with this new information about systemic racism and ultimately dismisses it as unfounded because it is contrary to her past experiences. This is an illustration of which of the following?

a. Stereotyping
b. An entrenched mental model
c. Leader-Member Exchange Theory
d. Ethnocentrism
e. Social Identity Theory

Answers

Answer:

e. Social Identity Theory

Explanation:

It is correct to state that the scenario in the question above refers to the theory of social identity, which is a theory that seeks to explain how the categorization of groups such as those based on culture, social class, race, age, directly impact the life of an individual and their perception of the world. Psychology seeks to analyze how important it is for an individual to belong to a group and to form an identity based on the collective of that group, that is, to form a society.

Therefore, the theory of social identity suggests that there is an inclination for individuals to overestimate the characteristics of the group to which they belong and to minimize the characteristics of other groups, which can generate prejudice, racism and apathy, which is what happened with Heidi, who considered information about systemic racism unfounded by the fact that they are contrary to their previous experiences.

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at a) $60,000 and b) $80,000. Assume the applicable tax rate is 40 percent.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The cash flows is $59,040.

(b) The cash flows is $71,040.

Explanation:

From the  Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:

Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate =  $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400

Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600

We can now proceed as follows:

(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.

(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.

The cash flows is $59,040 and $71,040 when asset are sold at $60,000 and $80,000.

What is MACRS depreciation?

MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system is the depreciation system in the U.S. where the cost of the asset is recovered in a specific period through deduction.

Given:

Asset=$200,000

The depreciation rate for 5 year asset are:20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%

Accumulated  depreciation  for 3 years=20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

=asset cost X  depreciation rate for 3 years

=$200,000 X 71.20% = $142,400

Net Book value=Asset Cost  - Accumulated depreciation

=$200,000 - $142,400

= $57,600

(a)Cash flows if assets sold at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales - Net book value

=$60,000 - $57,600

= $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate

= $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax

= $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

(b)Cash flows if assets sold at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales - Net book value

= $80,000 - $57,600

= $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate

= $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax

= $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore the above calculation aptly gives the solution.

Which statement concerning the kinked demand curve model of oligopoly is false? The portion of the demand curve above the "kink" is more elastic than the portion below. The firm's marginal costs can sometimes shift without changing the profit-maximizing price and output. It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow. It addresses the question of price "stickiness."

Answers

Answer: It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a form of market where there are dominated by few group of large sellers.

A kinked demand curve simply happens when the elasticity is not thesame for the lower and higher prices and the demand curve isn't a straight line.

It simply suggests that there are rigid prices and assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow.

You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:

Answers

Answer:

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Explanation:

Given:

Demand curve =  P = 63 − 5Q

Cost C = 10 + 3Q

Find:

Profit-maximizing output

Computation:

In monopoly maximum profit stand where;

MR = MC

So,

TR = P x Q

TR = (63 - 5q)Q

TR = 63Q - 5Q²

MR = d(TR) / dQ

So,

MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ

MR = 63 - 10Q

MC = dC / dQ

MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ

MC = 3

So,

Profit-maximizing output

MR = MC

63 - 10Q = 3

Q = 6

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building. The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $0.36. The average fixed expense per month is $1,300. Use the formula method to determine how many cups of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profits of $3,000 per month.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The formula method is denoted by

Unit sales to attain the targeted profit =( Target profit + Fixed expenses) / Contribution margin per unit

Target profit = $3,000 per month

Fixed expenses = $1,300

Contribution margin per unit = $1.49 - $0.36 = $1.13

Therefore, unit sales to attain targeted profit = ($3,000 + $1,300) / $1.13 = 3,805.31 units

It means that 3,805.31 cup of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profit of $3,000 per month.

Cincinnati t-shirts prints custom t-shirts. The cost to produce one shirt is: direct materials, $10; direct labor, $1.20; and manufacturing overhead $4.50. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital asked Cincinnati t-shirt to sell them custom t-shirts for $12 each for a local charity event. Direct material and direct labor are required for each t-shirt. Of the manufacturing overhead, $1.50 is variable and would be incurred on each additional unit. The remaining $3 in overhead is allocated fixed overhead that would not be increased or decreased by this order. What would be the effect on net income if they accept this special order and sell 200 shirts to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for $12 each?

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $140 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Production costs:

Direct material= 10

Direct labor= 1.2

Variable overhead= $1.5

Selling price= $12

Number of units= 200

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.

Effect on income= Units sold*unitary contribution margin

Effect on income= 200*(12 - 10 - 1.2 - 1.5)

Effect on income= $140 decrease

You have a 25-year maturity, 10% coupon, 10% yield bond with a duration of 10 years and a convexity of 135. If the interest rate were to increase 125 basis points, your predicted price change for the bond (including convexity) is

Answers

Answer:

The price change for the bond is -10.31%

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the price change for the bond

Price change of bond = ( -Modified duration x Change in rate ) + ( 0.5 x Convexity x ( Change in rate )^2 )

Where

Modified duration = Duration / ( 1 + YTM ) = 10 years / ( 1 + 10% ) = 9.0909091

Change in rate = 125 basis point / 100 = 1.25%

Convexity = 135

Placing Values in the formula

Price change of bond = ( -9.0909091 x 1.25% ) + ( 0.5 x 135 x ( 1.25% )^2 )

Price change of bond = -0.11364 + 0.01055

Price change of bond = -0.10309

Price change of bond = -0.1031

Price change of bond = -10.31%
