Your investment portfolio consists of ​$15 comma 000 invested in only one stocklong dashAmazon. Suppose the​ risk-free rate is 5
Kay [80]

Answer:

a)

The CAPM hypothesis states that the effective market is utilized place in the market and has the maximum eminent expected return of any assortment for a given randomness and the smallest variability for a assumed expected return. By allotment utilized place in the market assortment, you can achieve a standard return,

Thus,  

Expected Rate of Return = [Risk free Rate + Beta × (Market Risk - Risk free Rate)]

Beta = [Expected Rate of Return – Risk Free Rate] / [Market Risk - Risk free Rate]

Beta = [12% - 5%] / [10% -5%]

Beta = 7/5

Beta =1.4

The final possible instability while taking the same estimated rate of return as Amazon is $21,000 ($15,000 × 1.4) which indicate that it borrows $6,000 ($21,000 - $15,000). Now the -$6,000 is specified as strength benefit. So the volatility of the asset is,

Volatility = [Volatility of Asset x Beta]

Volatility = [18% × 1.4]

Volatility = 0.252 or 25.20%

Therefore the volatility is less than the volatility of Amazon.

b)

The market share has a instability of "n". The corresponding instability of Amazon will be 2.22 (40%/18%). So the assortment with the most notable predictable give back that has a faint variability from Amazon is $33,333.33 ($15,000x 2.22) which will be the market assortment and it also uses $18,333.33 ($33,333.33 - $15,000). Here the -$18,333.33 is specified as strength asset. So the return is,

Expected Return = [Risk free Rate + Beta × (Market Risk – Risk free Rate)]

Expected Return = [5%+ 122 × (10% - 5%)]

Expected Return = [5%+ 122 × 5%]

Expected Return = [0.05+0.111111]

Expected Return = 0.161111 or1 6.11%

Therefore the volatility is higher than the expected return of Amazon.

What is Jared's accounting profit? Suppose Jared could have used his talents to run a similar kind of business instead. If he va
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

<em>After working as a head chef for years, Jared gave up his $60,000 salary to open his own restaurant last year. He withdrew $50,000 of his own savings that had been earning 4% interest and borrowed another $100,000 from the bank at a rate of 5%. As the restaurant space he was leasing had no separate office, Jared converted his basement apartment into office space. He had previously rented the apartment to a student for $300/month. The following table summarizes his operations for the past year. </em>

<em>Total sales revenue    $590,000       </em>

<em>  Employee wages $120,000   </em>

<em>  Materials                 $350,000   </em>

<em>  Interest on loan $5,000   </em>

<em>  Utilities                 $10,000   </em>

<em>  Rent                 $25,000   </em>

<em>Total explicit costs              $510,000 </em>

<em>a, What is Jared's accounting profit? </em>

<em>b, Suppose Jared could have used his talents to run a similar kind of business instead. If he values his entrepreneurial skill at $10,000 annually, find Jared's total implicit costs. </em>

<em>c, What was Jared's economic profit last year?</em>

My answer:

a. , What is Jared's accounting profit?

As we know that accounting profit is the difference between total sales revenue and Total explicit cost, from the table we can find that:

$590,000  - $510,000  = $80,000 is the accounting profit

b. Jared's total implicit costs.

Implicit costs include his foregone wages ($60,000), the value of his entrepreneurial skill ($10,000), foregone rent on the apartment ($3,600 = 12 x $300) plus the foregone interest on his savings ($2,000 = .04 x $50,000). These total $75,600.

c. What was Jared's economic profit last year?

Explicit plus implicit, was $585,600 = $510,000 + $75,600. His economic profit is the difference between revenue and economic cost, or $4,400 (= $590,000 – $585,600).

Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into
klio [65]

Answer:

Total deduction for the year = $48,956

Explanation:

You can deduct investigation expenses but only for new business that is in the same industry as your current business. In this case, Henrietta incurred in $42,500 expenses trying to expand her hotel business. Total deduction for the current year = $42,500.

If the investigation expenses are not related to your current business, e.g. restaurants, then you can capitalize the costs and amortize them only if you actually carried out the expansion.

You can deduct up to $5,000 during the first year but this amount decreases by $1 for every dollar above $50,000. Total immediate deduction = $4,400. The remaining $46,200 must be amortized over 180 months. Amortization per month = $46,200 / 180 = $257

Total amortization for year 1 = 8 months x $257 = $2,056

Total deduction for the year = $42,500 + $4,400 + $2,056 = $48,956

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: E. postpone

Explanation:

This method encourages the sales person to push the discussion of certain aspects of the discussion to the end of the discussion.

It is a great way to keep people listening even if they are stuck on a couple of points. You simply tell then that you'll address those objections at the end. It shows that you at the very least acknowledge their objections.

The benefits are that it gives the salesperson more time to talk about the benefits of the products as well as time to think of a worthy response.
