Answer:

a.

Excess return for Zynga today will be -3.38%

b.

Excess return on P&G today will be -1.04%

Explanation:

The excess return is the return earned above/beyond the benchmark return. This benchmark can be set at either the risk free rate or any other stock or portfolio's return.

The return on a stock is usually calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM considers risk free rate, the return on market and the stock's beta to calculate the expected return on a stock.

The market always has a beta of 1. Beta is the measure of the volatility of stock returns. If the excess return on the market falls or rises, the effect of this on a stock's excess return will be based on its beta.

a.

The excess return of Zynga today will be =  -2.6% * 1.3   = -3.38%

b.

The excess return of P&G today will be =  -2.6% * 0.4   = -1.04%

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

c.$209,160

Explanation:

Given that the cash received from each sale will be collected over 2 months. If 30% of mechanize is to be sold for cash, then 70% will be sold on account. Further more, 80% of the credit/sale on account will be collected in the month of sale and 20% in the following month.

Hence for October, cash collection will include 20% of credit sale from September and 80% of the credit sale in the month.

Given that sales in September is $250,000

Amount expected to sold on account

= $250,000 - (30% × $250,000)

= $175,000

Amount expected to be collected from this sale in October

= 20% × $175,000

= $35,000

Amount of credit sale in October

= $311,000 - (30% × $311,000)

= $217,700

Amount of this credit sale to be collected  in October

= 80% × $217,700

= $174,160

Total collected from accounts receivable in October

= $174,160 + $35,000

= $209,160
