Answer:

3.5%

Explanation:

We will apply asset pricing model to calculate cost of equity (required rate of return). The capital asset pricing model is stated as below:

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + Beta x Market risk premium

Putting all the number together, we have:                          

Cost of equity (Beale) = 5.5% + 1.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 11.8%

Cost of equity (Foley) = 5.5% + 0.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 8.3%

Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = 11.8% - 8.3% = 3.5%

<em />

<em>Note: You can also do quick calculation as below:</em>

<em>Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = (Beta of Beale - Bete of Foley) x Market risk premium = (1.8 - 0.8) x (9% - 5.5%) = 3.5%</em>

The Easy Pack Company includes one coupon having no expiration date with its deluxe snack pack. Upon return of 10 coupons, Easy
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

premium liability (coupon oustanding) $ 1,500

Explanation:

We will recognize a liablity based on expected coupon redemption of 10%:

Sold 1,000,000 deluxe snack = 1,000,000 coupon

from this we expect 10% will be redeem: 1,000,000 x 10% = 100,000

Then, calculate the cost that this coupon will generate:

Thre will be 100,000 redeem coupons which, every 10 is traded for a 1.50 silver chip clip:

100,000 / 10 x $ 1.50 = $ 15,000

For the sales of we have a premium liablity of 15,000

premium expense    15,000

          premium liaiblity            15,000

<u>We also purchase this silver chip clip:</u>

Premium Inventory 15,000

                Cash                   15,000

During the year, we adjust for the chips clips distributed:

9,000 x $ 1.50 = 13,500

This decreases both, the liablity and the premium inventory.

Premium Liability        13,500 debit

            Premium Inventory       13,500 credit

Adjusted year-end balance:

15,000 - 13,500 = 1,500

You are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The insurance company informs you that you have two options for receiving th
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Option 1 PV lumpsum = $200000

Option2 PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08

Based on the present value of both the options, Option 1 should be chosen as it has a higher present value than option 2.

Explanation:

To decide on the best option to choose among the given two, we need to find the present value of both the options.

As the first option is to receive a lumpsum payment of $200000 today, the present value of this option is also equal to $200000 as it will be received today.

Option two, on the other hand, is an annuity as fixed payments will be received after equal intervals of time and for a limited time period and at the end of the period which satisfies the criteria of annuity ordinary. We will use the formula for the present value of annuity which is,

PV of Annuity = C * [( 1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]

Where,

  • C is the periodic payment
  • r is the rate of return of discount rate
  • n is the number of periods

The periodic payment is provided as $1400. We are also provided with and APR of 6% which is the Annual rate. We will have to convert it into monthly rate by dividing it by 12. We are also provided with the number of years which we will need to convert into number of months by multiplying it by 12.

Monthly r = 6%/12 = 0.5%

Number of periods = 20 * 12 = 240

PV of Annuity = 1400 * [( 1 - (1+0.5%)^-240) / 0.5%]

PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
