Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

<u>this</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>fo</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% <u>for</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>b</u>

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

<u>Therefore advisor a is better</u>

what is the book value and market value if it was liquidated to day i would receive 7.65 million in cash after paying 9.5 millio
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The market value of capital would be 11.15 million

Explanation:

Book value of an asset is the value at which the asset and liabilities are currently reflecting in the balance sheet of a firm. The market value is the value at which these assets and liabilities are currently valued as per present market rates. For example : Land value normally appreciates over time and eventhough it is purchased at say $100.000/-, its present value market valuation rate could be $300,000/-. This is the difference between a book value and market value.

In this case, on sale of current assets, a profit of 13 million would be made. Out of this, 9.5 million current liability is paid. Remaining is 3.5 million. Cash received after paying current liabilities is 7.65 million. Hence adding 3.5million+7.65million = 11.15million is the market value of capital which was originally 8.5 million.

                       Book Value             Market Value             Difference

Capital                8.5                            11.15

Current Liability   9.5                           9.5

Current Asset        22                           35                         13

Paid for CL                                                                          9.5

Remaining value                                                                 3.5

Cash Recd                                                                           7.65

Mkt value of capital                                                             11.15            

(3.5+7.65)

For Monday morning's staff meeting, Jim bought 2 bags of bagels and 3 packages of cream cheese and paid $11.25 (excluding sales
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$3.68 per bag for bagels; $1.30 per package for cream cheese

Explanation:

In this question we have to assume the things

Like Baggles be X

And. the cream cheese be Y

So, there are two equations which are presented below:

2X + 3Y = $11.25

5X + 2Y = $21

To find out the X and Y value we have to equate the both equations. So, we multiplied by 5 and multiplied by 2 in equation 1 and 2

So, the updated equation would be        

10X + 15Y = $56.25

10X + 4Y = $42

Now subtract it, so the value would be

11Y = $14.25

Y = $1.30 per bag

Now put this Y value in any equation

2X + 3Y = $11.25

2X + 3 × $1.30 = $11.25

2X + $3.9= $11.25

2X = $7.35

X = $3.68 per package
