Answer:
E-Mini futures = $2,939.25
Contract Size = 50
Portfolio Value = $10,000,000, Beta 1.5
Target Beta 2, Planning to increase the exposure
Calculation of Number of contracts needed = [Portfolio Size x (Target Beta - Actual beta)] / Contracts Size x Future Price
= (10,000,000 x (2 - 1.5) ] / 50 x 2939.25
= (10,000,000 x 0.5) / 146962.5
= 5,000,000 / 146962.5
= 34.02228459641065
= 34
So, you need to go Long 34 contracts to Increase the exposure.
Answer: Amount of supplies expense = $700
Explanation:
Given the following :
Amount of supplies at the beginning of the year = $1000
Amount of supplies which remained unused = $300
Amount of supplies expense at the end of the fiscal year = Amount of used supplies
Amount of used supplies = (amount of supplies at beginning - amount of unused supplies)
Amount of used supplies = ($1000 - $300)
Amount of used supplies = $700
Therefore, amount of supplies expense = $700
Answer:
If discount rate is 11.7% Project B should be accepted.
If discount rate is 13.5% both projects should be rejected
Explanation:
If the Net present value of Project A is higher than that of project B, we will accept project A and vice versa.
<u>Under 11.7% Discount Rate</u>
Net Present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.117 + 34000 / 1.117² + 34000 / 1.117³ = $85.099
Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.117³ = $516.029
Project B should be accepted as it has a higher NPV.
<u />
<u>Under 13.5% Discount Rate</u>
Net present Value-Project A = -82000 + 34000 / 1.135 + 34000 / 1.135² + 34000 / 1.135³ = - $2397.49
Net Present Value-Project B = -82000 + 115000 / 1.135³ = - $3347.91
Both projects should be rejected as both have negative NPVs
Answer:
$14,250
Explanation:
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful Life
Annual depreciation = ($60,000 - $3,000) / 8
Annual depreciation = $57,000 / 8
Annual depreciation = $7,125
Accumulated dep. at December 31, 2022 = $7,125 * 2
Accumulated dep. at December 31, 2022 = $14,250
So, the balance in accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method at December 31, 2022 is $14,250.
