Answer:

9.635%

Explanation:

We shall use a table to compute different values as shown below.

<u>Investment</u>       <u>Return</u>     <u>Taxable amount</u>    <u>Tax Rate</u>       <u>After-tax return</u>

Dividend              9.8%             30% (n1)              18%             9.2708% (w1)

Municipal bond   8.8%              0%                      18%             8.8%

Corporate bond   11.75%          100%                   18%             9.635% (w2)

The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds

<u>Workings</u>:

W1

9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%

Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%

w2

18.75*0.18 =2.115%

Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%

<u>Notes:</u>

n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed

Calculation for what is the alpha of the stock

Using this formula

Alpha of the stock= Realized Return - (Market Return *Beta)

Alpha of the stock= 0.10 - (0.06 * 1.25)

Alpha of the stock= 0.10 - 0.075

Do you believe you should assess the internal control risk over cash receipts as low, medium, or high? Why?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

HIGH

Explanation:

Whenever it has to do with cash, the risk is always high. The potential for employee fraud and accounting error cannot be underestimated. Controls must be in place to protect losses for small businesses and income leakages for big businesses.

Revenue is the biggest asset of a company and the first line in its income statement and cannot be assessed to be of 'low risk'

Internal controls should be in place for cash receipts in order to limit the access to cash to trusted staff, to verify all receipts, and that such transactions are captured correctly and timely. Cash receipts should never be used as petty cash as it creates tracking complexities.
