D.
11.5 percent Please show work

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C.  13.6 percent

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × risk-free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 4% + 0.6 × 4% + 1.2 × 6%

=  4% + 2.4% + 7.2%

= 13.6%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as market risk premium

What is the discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return on a $2 million commercial paper issue that currently sells at 98.25 percent of its face value and is 128 days from maturity? (Use 360 days for discount yield and 365 days in a year for bond equivalent yield and effective annual return. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))

Answers

Answer:

1. Discount yield = 4.92%

2. Dividend yield = 5.07%

3. Effective annual return = 5.02%

Explanation:

The computation of discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return is shown below:-

Discount yield

Commercial paper                       $2,000,000

Current selling price                    $1,965,000

($2,000,000 × 98.25%)

Days to maturity                           128

Discount yield ( total days in a year)360

Dividend yield                                   4.92%

($2,000,000 - $1,965,000) ÷ $2,000,000 × (360 ÷ 128)

= $35,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × (2.8125)

= 0.0175 × 2.8125

= 0.04921

= 4.92%

Bond equivalent yield

Commercial paper                       $2,000,000

Current selling price                    $1,965,000

($2,000,000 × 98.25%)

Days to maturity                           128

Discount yield ( total days in a year)360

Bond equivalent yield                      5.07%

= ($2,000,000 - $1,965,000) ÷ $1,965,000 × (365 ÷ 128)

= $35,000 ÷ $1,965,000 × 2.8515625

= 0.017811705  × 2.8515625

= 0.05079119

= 5.07%

3. Effective annual return

Bond equivalent yield               5.07%

Effective annual return              5.02%

= (1 + 5.07% ÷ 365)^365 -1

= 5.02%

Rebel Technology maintains its records using cash-basis accounting. During the year, the company received cash from customers, $43,000, and paid cash for salaries, $23,500. At the beginning of the year, customers owe Rebel $1,000. By the end of the year, customers owe $6,600. At the beginning of the year, Rebel owes salaries of $5,600. At the end of the year, Rebel owes salaries of $3,300. Determine cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year.

Answers

Answer:

The cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year is $19,500 and $22,800 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Net income under cash basis:

= Received cash from customers - paid cash for salaries

= $43,000 - $23,500

= $19,500

2. Net income under accrual basis:

= Cash received - salary paid

where,

Cash received = Cash owed at the end of the year + cash received - cash owed at the beginning of the year

= $6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000

= $48,600

And, the salary paid = salary owed at the end of the year + salary paid - salary owed at the beginning of the year

= $5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300

= $25,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $48,600 - $25,800

= $22,800

1. Cash basis in as accounting method that recognizes revenues and expenses only when the cash is received or paid out.

Net income under cash basis = Received cash from customers - Cash paid for salaries

Net income under cash basis = $43,000 - $23,500

Net income under cash basis = $19,500

2. Accrual basis is as accounting method where accounting transactions are recorded for revenue when earned and expenses when incurred.

Net income under  accrual basis = Cash received - Salary paid

Net income under  accrual basis = (Cash owed at the end of the year + Cash received - Cash owed at the beginning of the year) - (Salary owed at the end of the year + Salary paid - Salary owed at the beginning of the year)

Net income under  accrual basis = ($6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000) - ($5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300)

Net income under accrual basis = $48,600 - $25,80

Net income under accrual basis = $22,800

In 2017, Oriole Corporation reported net income of $1,004,700. It declared and paid preferred stock dividends of $278,600. During 2017, Oriole had a weighted average of 200,700 common shares outstanding. Compute Oriole’s 2017 earnings per share.

Answers

Answer:

$3.62

Explanation:

The dividend distributed to common share = total net income - dividend for preferred stock

=  $1,004,700 -  $278,600

=  $726,100

Earnings per share (EPS) = The dividend distributed to common share / common shares outstanding

= $726,100/ 200700

= $3.62

Define own-price elasticity of demand and explain how it is related to the demand curve. Provide four reasons why the demand for medical services is likely to be inelastic with respect to its price

Answers

Answer:



Explanation:

Own price elasticity of demand is the degree of the responsiveness of the quantity demanded due to some change in price, keeping other factor constant.  Price elasticity of demand on a linear demand curve will fall continuously as the curve slopes.

The four reasons are:

1. Medical aid is enivatble: Because medical services are a necessity for every human beings to live a healthy life, and if their is high change in price with respect to quantity demanded, person cannot ignore to take medical services in bad times or when seriously ill.

2. Comparing the actual size of the population, the number of doctors are compartively less.

3. The services of medical cannot be prolonged or postponed.

4. Love among people- One can be miser in food and clothing, but in diseases they have to take medical help and people will put in the whole money to save his closer one's life, this is the love we people have.

On January 1, a store had inventory of $48,000. January purchases were $46,000 and January sales were $90,000. On February 1 a fire destroyed most of the inventory. The rate of gross profit was 25% of cost. Merchandise with a selling price of $7,500 remained undamaged after the fire. Compute the amount of the fire loss, assuming the store had no insurance coverage. Label all figures.

Answers

Answer:

the amount of the fire loss is $16,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the fire loss is shown below

January 1 inventory $48,000

Add purchases $46,000

Goods Available $94,000

Less Cost of Goods Sold ($90,000 × 100 ÷ 125) $72,000

Less Cost of undamaged goods ($7,500 × 100 ÷ 125) $6,000

Goods Lost by Fire $16,000

hence, the amount of the fire loss is $16,000

BluStar Company has two service departments, Administration and Accounting, and two operating departments, Domestic and International. Administration costs are allocated on the basis of employees, and Accounting costs are allocated on the basis of number of transactions. A summary of BluStar operations follows: Administration Accounting Domestic International
Employees – 29 40 31
Transactions 38,000 – 19,000 76,000
Department direct costs $ 350,000 $ 147,000 $ 950,000 $ 3,750,000

Allocate the cost of the service departments to the operating departments using the direct method.

Answers

Answer:

Administration Cost Allocated To Domestic is $197,183.

Administration Cost Allocated To International is $152,817.

Accounting Cost Allocated To Domestic is $29,400.

Accounting Cost Allocated To International is $117,600.

Explanation:

The Direct Method used for allocating Services Departments Cost to Operating Departments ignores the services used by service departments and allocate costs just to operating departments based on each department's consumption of allocation base. So, the costs of Administration and Accounting departments will be allocated to Domestic and International Departments.

Allocation of Administration Department Cost:

Domestic

Direct Cost of Administration * (No. of Employees in Domestic / Total No. of Employee in Operating Departments)

⇒ 350,000 * (40 / 71) = $197,183.

International

Administration Cost Allocated = 350,000 * (31 / 71) = $152,817.

Allocation of Accounting Department Cost:

Domestic

Direct Cost of Accounting * (No. of Transactions in Domestic / Total No. of Transactions in Operating Departments)

⇒ 147,000 * (19,000 / 95,000) = $29,400.

International

Accounting Cost Allocated = 147,000 * (76,000 / 95,000) = $117,600.
