Answer:

The discount rate assign to a new project with a Beta of 1.25 is 13.94%

Explanation:

The applicable formula is the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula of Miller and Modgliani  quoted below:

Ke = Rf + (Market risk premium x Beta)

Currently Ke=14.945%

Beta =1.38

Risk free rate of return (Rf) is 4.25%

Market risk premium is the unknown

14.945%=4.25%+(Market Risk Premium)*1.38

14.945%-4.25%=Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70% =Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70%/1.38=Market Risk Premium

Market Risk Premium =7.75%

However, the new project cost of equity has to be determined due to having a different Beta factor of 1.25(a different risk appetite)

Using the above formula, we have

Ke=4.25%+(7.75% *1.25)

Ke =13.94%

At September 1, 2012, Baxter Inc. reported Retained Earnings of $272,000. During the month, Baxter generated revenues of $40,000
LiRa [457]

Answer:

$284,000

Explanation:

Movements in the retained earnings account are as a result of the payment of dividend and the addition of the income or loss for the year.

Given that

Baxter generated revenues = $40,000

incurred expenses = $24,000

purchased equipment = $10,000 and

paid dividends = $4,000

Net income/(loss) = $40,000 - $24,000

= $16,000

Retained Earnings at September 30, 2012

= $272,000 + $16,000 - $4,000

= $284,000

Jack and Jill have a tenancy in common in an apartment building. After ten years of ownership, Jill dies unexpectedly. On Jill's
Basile [38]
<h2>Jill's interest in the property will: <u>Pass to Jill's heirs </u>(Option B)</h2>

Explanation:

Let us understand the meaning of tenancy: It is the "possession of any property which might be land or building and get connected as tenant".

In contrast, ownership means the property belongs that person alone or in partnership.

Understanding the above terms, We can say, Jack and Jill have been a tenant and after ten years, Jill dies. So the rest of the interest in the property will definitely go to his heirs only.

It cannot be passed to Jack because Jill's interest will not be paid by other person except for Jill's heirs. Jack heirs are no way responsible or own the property of Jack.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 8.39%

Explanation:

Margin = Net Income/ Sales

Net income for the company including the new investment:

= 864,000 + (Sales * Contribution margin ratio - Fixed costs)

= 864,000 + (4,200,000 * 30% - 966,000)

= $1,158,000

The combined sales for the company is:

= 9,600,000 + 4,200,000

= $13,800,000

Combined margin:

= 1,158,000 / 13,800,000

= 8.39%
