Answer:

a) A = 4.50% and B = 2.00%

b) SD for A = 4.15 %

c) Portfolio Return = 3.0%

Explanation:

a) Expected Returns for Both A and B respectively:

In order to calculate the expected returns, let's categorize the given data first.

Economy        Probability      Stock A       Stock B

Booming            0.30               10%               20%

Neutral               0.30                5%                 0%

Recession          0.40                 0%                -10% (not 10%)

So,

Expected Return for Stock A:

A =   Sum of (all Probability x Stock A)

A = (0.30 x 0.10) + (0.30 x 0.05) + (0.40 x 0.00)

A = 0.045

<u><em>A = 4.50 % </em></u>

Return for Stock B:

B = Sum of all Probability x Stock B

B = (0.30 x 0.20) + (0.30 x 0.00) + (0.40 x -0.10)

B = 0.002

<u>B = 2.0%</u>  

<em>b) Standard Deviation /Risk for Stock A:</em>

SD for A = Sum (Square Root (Probability*(Stock A Return - Expected Return of Stock A)²) )

SD for A = \sqrt{0.30*(0.10-0.045)^2 + 0.30*(0.05-0.045)^2+0.40*(0.00-0.045)^2}

SD for A = 0.0415

<u><em>SD for A = 4.15%</em></u>

c) Portfolio Return Given that:

                                        Value          Weight         Return

Stock A                          4000              0.4               4.50%

Stock B                          6000             0.6                 2.0%

                                      10000

Portfolio Return =  Sum of ( Weight x Return)

                          = (0.4 x 0.045) + (0.6 x 0.02)

                          = 0.03

<em><u>Portfolio Return = 3%</u></em>

Item 1Item 1 Weismann Co. issued 11-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 11 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Price of the bond is $940.

Explanation:

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows. This Includes the present value of coupon payment and cash flow on maturity of the bond.

As per Given Data

As the payment are made semiannually, so all value are calculated on semiannual basis.

Coupon payment = 1000 x 11% = $110 annually = $55 semiannually

Number of Payments = n = 11 years x 2 = 22 periods

Yield to maturity = 12% annually = 6% semiannually

To calculate Price of the bond use following formula of Present value of annuity.

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$55 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 6% )^-22 ) / 6% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 6% )^22 ]

Price of the Bond = $55 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.06 )^-22 ) / 0.06 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.06 )^22 ]

Price of the Bond = $662.29 + $277.5

Price of the Bond = $939.79 = $940

Fasetech, Inc. has collected the following data.? (There are no beginning? inventories.)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced= 510 units

Sales price= $150 per unit

Direct materials= $16 per unit

Direct labor= $10 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead= $10 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead= $16,000 per year

Variable selling and administrative costs= $9 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative costs= $10,500 per year

Units sold= 500

Under the absorption costing method, the fixed overhead costs get allocated as a product cost.

Unitary fixed overhead= 16,000/510= $31.37

Total unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + total overhead

TUC= 16 + 10 + (10 + 31.37)= $67.37

Income statement:

Sales= 500*150= 75,000

COGS= 67.37*500= (33,685)

Gross profit= 41,315

Total variable selling and administrative costs= (9*500)= (4,500)

Fixed selling and administrative costs= (10,500)

Net operating profit= 26,315

This partnership is being liquidated. hendrick and mitchum are each entitled to 40 percent of all profits and losses with the re
Lesechka [4]
<span>Three people share the profit and losses as follows.Total ratio is 100. Hendrick and Mitch each get 2/5 of the profit or suffer 2/5 of the loss i. e (40/100) as well while redding gets 1/5 i. e (20/100). Redding can contribute no more than one-fifth of the liqudated capital. The$20, 000 in excess liability will be distributed in proportion to their ratios. 2/5 * 20, 000 = $8, 000 each for Hendrick and Mitcherum while redding gets 1/5 * 20, 000 = $4000. If the non cash assest is sold Hendrick would receive 2/5 * 50, 000 = 100000/5 = $20, 000. The minmum hendrick would receive would be $20, 000 + $8, 000 = $28, 000</span>
