If the number of employed workers equals 200 million and the number of unemployed workers equals 20 million, the unemployment rate equals 9%.

<h3>What is the unemployment rate?</h3>

The unemployment rate is the percentage of the labour force that is unemployed.

The unemployment rate = (number of unemployed people / total labour force) x 100

Total labour force = 200 million + 20 million = 220 million

(20 / 220) x 100 = 9%

Atlanta Cement, Inc. buys on terms of 2/15, net 30. It does not take discounts, and it typically pays 65 days after the invoice
shusha [124]

Answer:

The nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year is 0.2795%

Explanation:

The computation of the nominal annual percentage is shown below:

= Discount rate ÷ (100 - discount rate) × ({Total number of days ÷ payable days} - discount days)

= 2% ÷ ( 100 - 2%) × (365 days ÷ 65 days - 15 days)

= 2% ÷ (98% × 7.3)

= 2% ÷ 7.154

= 0.2795%

The net purchase amount is irrelevant. hence, this part is ignored

Simba Company’s standard materials cost per unit of output is $10.00 (2.00 pounds x $5.00). During July, the company purchases a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

A)1192 A

B) 192 A

C)  1000 A

Explanation:

The Question is to Compute Simba Company's Total, Price, and Quantity materials Variances

1) Computation of material Cost Variance

= The Standard Cost - The Actual Cost of the material

= 1,500 units x 2 pounds = 3000 pounds

Standard Cost = 3,000 pounds x $5 = $15,000

Therefore material variance = $15,000 - $16,192 = 1192A

2) The material Rate Variance or the Price Variance

= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) Actual Quantity

= Actual Rae = $16,192 / 3200 = $5.06

Material Rate Variance = (5- 5.06) x 3,200

= 192 A

3) The material Usage Variance or Quantity variance

= (The Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate

Standard Quantity = 1,500 Units x 2 Pounds = 3000 pounds

Material Usage Variance = (3,000-3,200) 5

= 1000 A

Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have a total of $100,000 to be invested in stocks, bonds, and a money market account. The stocks have a rate
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let y amount be invested in bonds

Let x amount be invested in money account

Let x amount be invested in stocks

x = y + 3x

10,000 = 12/100(y+3x) + 8/100*y + 4/100*x

10,000 = 12(y+3x) + 8y + 4x / 100

10,000 * 100 = 12y+36x + 8y + 4x

2500 * 100 = 3y + 9x + 2y + x

250,000 = 5y + 10x

50,000 = y + 2x.......................(1)

x + y + z = $100,000

y + 3x + y + x = $100,000

2y + 4x = 100,000

y + 2x = 50,000.......................(ii)

y = 50,000 - 2x

x = 50,000 + x

z = z

<u>2 Options are</u>

{(x,y,x), (x2,y2,z2)}

= (50000, 50000) (60000, 30000, 10000)

Suppose that the S&amp;P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase
