An economist makes an assumption that each additional year of education causes future wages to rise by 7 percent. In this model

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Wage year 4= $12222.19

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each additional year of education causes future wages to rise by 7 percent.

A person with 12 years of education makes $21 000 per year.

A person with 4 years of education=$?

We will use the present value formula to calculate the wage in year 0. Then with the final value formula calculate the year 4 wage.

PV= FV/[(1+r)^n]

FV=final value at t time

r= rate

n= period of time

PV= 21000/(1,07^12)= $9324. 2511

Final Value= PV*(1+r)^t

Final Value year 4= 9324.2511*(1,07^4)= $12222.19

The expected rates of return on portfolios A and B are 11% and 14%, respectively. The beta of A is 0.8 and the beta of B is 1.5.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

Explanation:

Expected return= free return + Beta (Expected rate of return – risk free rate)

Portfolio A

6%+ +.8*6%

= 6%+4.8%= 10.8%

Portfolio B

6%+1.5(6%)

6%+9%= 15%

It depends on different factors. Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

Kirkaid Company recorded the following transactions for the just completed month:

Illusion [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is $5,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Total raw material = $118,000

Direct material = $89,000

So, Indirect material = Total raw material - Direct material = $118,000 - $89,000

= $29,000

Total labor = $142,000

Direct labor = $122,000

So, Indirect labor = Total labor - Direct labor = $142,000 - $122,000

= $20,000

Additional actual manufacturing OH = $214,000

Applied manufacturing OH = $268,000

So, we can calculate the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the month by using following formula:

Underapplied or overapplied overhead = Applied manufacturing OH - Actual OH

= $268,000 - ( $29,000 + $20,000 + $214,000)

= $268,000 - $263,000

= $5,000

Hence, the overapplied overhead is $5,000.
