Answer:
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
Option a is the correct answer
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each security r represents the mean return of each security
The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium
The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%
Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15% + 40% * 5%
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security
Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

In 2013 cumulative preferred shareholders should have received a dividend of $10,000, but the company didn't pay a dividend. In 2014 the preferred shareholders should receive a distribution of $11,000. If the company pays $50,000 in 2014 of dividends how much will the preferred shareholders receive
Answer: $21,000
Explanation:
Cumulative preference shares should always get paid their dividends. If a situation arises where the company is unable to pay this dividend in a year, the dividends will be accrued until such a time as the company is able to pay.
Dividend to be received in 2014 is therefore:
= 2013 dividend that was not paid + 2014 dividend
= 10,000 + 11,000
= $21,000

Urban Drapers Inc., a drapery company, has been successfully doing business for the past 15 years. It went public eight years ago and has been paying out a constant dividend of $2.24 per share every year to its shareholders. In its most recent annual report, the company informed investors that it expects to maintain its constant dividend into the foreseeable future and that dividends are not expected to increase.
If you are an investor who requires a 25.50% rate of return and you expect dividends to remain constant forever, then your expected valuation for Urban Drapers stock today is ________ per share. Urban Drapers has a sister company named Super Carpeting Inc. (SCI). SCI just paid a dividend (D_0) of $2.64 per share, and its annual dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate (g) of 5.50% per year. If the required return (r_s) on SCI's stock is 13.75%, then the intrinsic value of SCI's shares is _______ per share.
Answer:
a. The expected valuation for Urban Drapers stock today is $8.78 per share
b. The intrinsic value of SCI's shares is $33.76 per share.
Explanation:
a. Calculation of the expected valuation for Urban Drapers
Expected valuation for Urban Drapers stock today = Constant annual dividend per share / Required rate of return = $2.24 / 25.50% = $8.78
Theerefore, the expected valuation for Urban Drapers stock today is $8.78 per share.
b. Calculation of the intrinsic value of SCI's shares
This can be calculated using the using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows:
P = D_1 / (r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = current stock price = Intrinsic value of SCI's shares = ?
D_1 = Next dividend = D_0 * (100% + g) = $2.64 * (100% + 5.50%) = $2.7852
r = required return = 13.75%, or 0.1375
g = Expected annual dividend growth rate = 5.50%, or 0.0550
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $2.7852 / (0.1375 - 0.0550)
P = $33.76
Therefore, the intrinsic value of SCI's shares is $33.76 per share.

3. The bond payable would be converted into common stock so this is a non-cash investing and financing activity
4. The land should be purchased for cash so it belong from investing activity as a cash outflow
5. There is a reduction in the merchandise inventory so it would be subtracted for calculating the cash payment made to suppliers
6. There is a reduction in the account payable so it would be added for calculating the cash payment made to suppliers
7. The preferred stock is issued for cash belong from financing activity as a cash inflow
8. The equipment is sold at the book value belong from investing activity as a cash inflow
Carmelita Inc., has the following information available:
Costs from Beginning Inventory Costs from Current Period Direct materials $2,000 $22,252 Conversion costs 6,200 150,536
At the beginning of the period, there were 500 units in process that were 60% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to direct materials costs. During the period, 4,500 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 340 units that were 30% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. The company uses the FIFO process cost method.
The cost of completing a unit during the current period was:______.
a. $34.88
b. $36.19
c. $35.95
d. $35.89
Answer:
c. $35.95
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent units
Materials
To finish Opening Work In Process (500 x 0%) 0
Started and Completed (4,500 x 100%) 4,500
Ending Work in Process (340 x 100%) 340
Equivalent units of Production 4,840
Conversion
To finish Opening Work In Process (500 x 40%) 200
Started and Completed (4,500 x 100%) 4,500
Ending Work in Process (340 x 30%) 102
Equivalent units of Production 4,802
Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit
Materials = $22,252 ÷ 4,840 = $4.60
Conversion Costs = $150,535 ÷ 4,802 = $31.35
Therefore,
Total Unit Cost = $4.60 + $31.35 = $35.95

Round your answers to 2 decimal places if necessary.)
Answer:
Adam Ant
Adam's taxable income is $__22,800__ his marginal tax rate is __3.66__% and his total taxes due are $ ___$1,280__
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Tax rates:
5% on the first $20,000
10% on the next $40,000
15% on all taxable income above $60,000
Standard deduction = $12,210 for single taxpayers
Standard deduction = $24,400 for married taxpayers
Adam's Gross income = $35,000
Standard deduction = 12,200
Taxable income = $22,800
Tax due:
5% on the first ($20,000) = $1,000
10% on the next $40,000 2,800 = 280
Total taxes due = $1,280
Marginal rate = $1,280/$35,000 * 100 = 3.66%

(TYPE 6) Given that beginning inventory level is 660 units, total forecasted demand over the next 12 months is 18,000 units, and desired ending inventory level at the end of the 12th month is 900 units, what is the cost of production per month if a level strategy is used and per unit cost of production is $22
Answer: $33,440
Explanation:
First find the units to be produced for the year:
= Forecasted demand + Closing inventory - Opening inventory
= 18,000 + 900 - 660
= 18,240 units
Cost of production:
= 18,240 * 22
= $401,280
Cost per month:
= 401,280 / 12
= $33,440
Steeler Towel Company estimates its overhead to be $203,000. It expects to have 58,000 direct labor hours costing $1,015,000 in labor and utilizing 14,500 machine hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate using: Round your answers to two decimal places. A. Direct labor hours $fill in the blank 1 per direct labor hour B. Direct labor dollars $fill in the blank 2 per direct labor dollar C. Machine hours $fill in the blank 3 per machine hour
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate in the following cases are shown below:
As we know that
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead ÷ activity level
1.
= $203,000 ÷ 58,000
= $3.50 per direct labor hour
2.
= $203,000 ÷ $1,015,000
= $0.20 per direct labor dollar
3.
= $203,000 ÷ 14,500
= $14.00 per machine hour

A company had sales revenue of $900,000 for the year. In addition, the following information is available related to the cost of the units sold: Total purchase cost $ 480,000 Freight charges 10,000 Purchase discounts 25,000 Purchase returns 50,000 Operating expenses 200,000 For what amount would the company report gross profit
Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for Item Zeta9 are as follows: Oct. 1 Inventory 200 units at $30 7 Sale 160 units 15 Purchase 180 units at $33 24 Sale 150 units Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of goods sold on October 24 and (b) the inventory on October 31. a. Cost of goods sold on October 24 $fill in the blank 1 b. Inventory on October 31 $fill in the blank 2
Answer:
a. $4,830
b. $2,310
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The cost of goods sold as on Oct 24 is
Units sold from Oct 1 Inventory is 40 (200 units - 160 units)
And, From Oct. 15 Purchase is 110 (150 units - 40 units)
Now
Cost of goods sold on October 24 is $4,830 (40 × 30) + (110 × 33)
b. The inventory as on Oct 31 is
= (180 - 110) × $33
= $2,310
Calculate Tim's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven frying pans he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity.
Answer:
1. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Juanita runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per teddy bear. The following graph shows Juanita's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for teddy bears quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Juanita produces. Total Revenue Total Cost Profit TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) 0 1 2 6 7 8 3 4 5 QUANTITY (Teddy bears) Calculate Juanita's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears she produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity.
Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per teddy bear) 0 1 2 6 7 8 3 4 5 QUANTITY (Teddy bears) Juanita's profit is maximized when she produces teddy bears. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear she produces is , which is than the price Juanita receives for each teddy bear she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize her profit) is $ , which is than the price Juanita receives for each teddy bear she sells. Therefore, Juanita's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Juanita is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as

The difference between production possibilities frontiers that are bowed out and those that are linear is that a. bowed out production possibilities frontiers illustrate tradeoffs where linear production possibilities frontiers do not. b. bowed out production possibilities frontiers show increasing opportunity cost where linear ones show constant opportunity cost. c. bowed out production possibilities frontiers are the result of perfectly shiftable resources where linear production possibilities frontiers are not. d. linear production possibilities frontiers illustrate real world conditions more than bowed out production possibilities frontiers.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology.
2. changes in available resources.
3. changes in the labour force.
a linear PPC means that there is a constant opportunity cost. Linear PPC are rear
