Answer:

6.78%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total return i.e nominal rate = 15% = 0.15

Real return = 7.7% = 0.077

Now,

Inflation rate = \frac{\textup{1 + Nominal rate}}{\textup{1 + Real return }}  - 1

on substituting the respective values, we get

Inflation rate = \frac{\textup{1 + 0.15}}{\textup{1 + 0.077}}  - 1

or

Inflation rate = [ 1.15 ÷ 1.077 ] - 1

or

Inflation rate = 0.0678

or

Inflation rate = 0.0678 × 100% = 6.78%

Suppose that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%. What is the required return on (1) the market, (2)
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1.

r market = 0.12 or 12%

2.

r stock = 0.12 or 12%

3.

r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%

Explanation:

The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital asset pricing model equation. The formula for required rate of return under this model is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the risk premium on market
  • r represents the required rate of return

1.

The beta of the market is always considered to be 1. Thus, the required rate of return on market would be,

r market = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07

r market = 0.12 or 12%

2.

For a stock whose beta is 1.0, the required rate of return would be same as that for market. So, the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.0 is,

r Stock = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07

r Stock = 0.12 or 12%

3.

The required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.7 is,

r Stock = 0.05 + 1.7 * 0.07

r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%

Prior to recording adjusting entries, the Office Supplies account had a $363 debit balance. A physical count of the supplies sho
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Office supplies expense A/c Dr $257

      To Office supplies                                  $257

(Being adjusted entry recorded in respect of office supplies)

Since in the question it is given that, the debit balance of office supply is $363 and the physical count show $107 unused supplies which mean it is of no use. So, the actual amount of office supplies would be calculated by applying an equation which is shown below:

= Office supplies debit balance - unused office supplies

= $363 - $107

= $257

Moreover, the office supply is shown in the balance sheet under the assets account. And, to find out the correct value of the office supply we debit the expense account and credit the asset account.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$66,667
