Answer:

beta of portfolio is 1.55

Explanation:

First we calculate the Equity Risk Premium, given as:

Equity Risk Premium = Market Return - Risk Free Rate

= 11 - 6 = 5%

 Given that;

Risk Free Rate = 6%

 Return on Stock = 13.75%

 Second, we calculate the Return on Stock

Return on stock = Risk-free rate + Equity risk premium * Beta for stock

13.75 = 6 +5 *Beta

Beta = 1.55

Answer:

Calculate amount of annual interest:

The simple interest rate is the percentage of the credit that should be paid as interest on yearly basis. The amount of interest should be paid per year on a loan.

Miss. Margie has spent $700 for dental work and $1,400 for car transmission rebuilt. She has made both transactions on her credit card. If she does not pay credit balance of $2100, she will be charged 21 percent interest.

Calculate the annualized interest expenses.  

Miss. Margie should pay annual interest if she does not pay off credit card balance. She has a credit balance of $2100. The interest rate on credit balance is 21 percent.

Annual Interest = Amount owned x Interest rate

Annual Interest = 2,100 x 0.21  

Annual Interest = 441

Annual interest on credit card balance is $441

Money market investment is a high-liquid, and short term securities containing commercial paper. Treasury bill, banker's acceptance, promissory note.

Calculate the amount of interest received on money market investment. Miss. Margin has a money market account with $15.000. On this account she receives 3 percent interest.

So, the total interest earned on a money market account is:

Annual Interest = Amount x Interest rate

Annual Interest = 15,000 x 0.03

Annual Interest = $450

Miss. Margin has got $450 as annual interest on money market account of $15000 with the interest rate of 3 percent.

To calculate the amount of annual interest, she should write a check of 2,100 for pay off credit card balance, a money market account shows the balance of 12,900. The interest rate is 3 percent.

Annual interest = Amount x interest rate

Annual interest = 12,900 x 0.03

Annual interest = $387

If she should write the check out of her money market account she gets interest of $387.

So, she will lose the interest of $63

Miss. Margin should write the check'. She is able to cover credit card bill from money market account. It is always better to payoff credit card bill in full from income or saving than to pay credit card balance with interest on due balance.

If she pays credit card due balance from money market account, she will not have to pay interest charges

January 5       Patent A/c..................Dr        $100,000

                             To Cash A/c............Cr           $100,000

As patent is purchased so asset is increasing and any increase in asset would be debited. Therefore, patent account is debited. And it is purchased against cash and decrease in asset is credited. Therefore, cash account is credited.

December 31    Amortization expense- Patent................Dr                $5,000

Amortization expense = Patent Cost / Useful life of asset

                                     = $5,000

On January 2, 2015, Quick Delivery Company traded in an old delivery truck for a newer model. The exchange lacked commercial sub
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$36,000

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the fair value of the new truck

(List price-cash paid with trade)-(original cost -accumulated depreciation)

= (36,000-30,000)-(24,000-16,000)

= 6000-8000

= loss of $2000

Therefore the cost of the new truck for financial accounting purposes can be calculated as follows

(Original cost- accumulated depreciation)+cash paid with trade-loss

= (24,000-16,000)+30,000-2000

= 8,000 + 30,000 - 2,000

= 38,000-2,000

= $36,000

Hence the cost of the new truck for financial accounting purposes is $36,000

Increases in the minimum wage are intended to raise the incomes of low-income workers. Many economists favor a different policy
Stels [109]

Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
