A physical inventory on December 31 shows 4,000 units on hand. Eneri sells the units for $13 each. The company has an effective

stira [4]

Answer:

$52,000

Explanation:

Remember, the FIFO inventory costing method records the inventory value based on the cost of the earliest (first) purchased or in hand balance.

The effective tax rate would usually be applied after the sales, however using FIFO we assume the first value of the inventory prior to the tax deduction.

= 4000 x $13

= $52,000

Therefore, the gross profit for the period is $52,000.

Calculate the portfolio required rate of return (rs) for the Wagner Assets Management Group, which holds 4 stocks. The expected

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

11.10%

Explanation:

For computing the portfolio required rate of return first we have to calculate the portfolio beta which is shown below:

Portfolio Beta = Beta of Stock A × Weight of Stock A + Beta of Stock B × Weight of Stock B + Beta of Stock C × Weight of Stock C + Beta of Stock D × Weight of Stock D

= 1.50 × $200,000 ÷ ($200,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000) 0-.50 × $300,000 ÷ ($200,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000) + 1.25 × $500,000 ÷ ($200,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000) + 0.75 × $1,000,000 ÷ ($200,000 + $300,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000)

= .7625

Now the portfolio Required Rate of Return is

Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta × (Market Rate of Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 5% + .7625 × (13% - 5%)

= 11.10%

We simply applied the above formulas

An increase in the firm's WACC will decrease projects' NPVs, which could change the accept/reject decision for any potential pro

STatiana [176]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The first part was true. A higher WACC results in a lower NPV simply because a higher discount rate results in a lower present value.

E.g. 100 / (1 + 6%)³ = 83.96, but if we increase r to 10%, then 100 / (1 + 10%)³ = 75.13

The second part is wrong because under the IRR method, the decision rule is very simple, all projects are accepted if their IRR is higher than the project's WACC (or discount rate). I.e. if hte project's WACC increases, so does the chance of the project being rejected because the IRR might be lower than the WACC.
