Answer:

B. decrease the demand for e-readers.

  • Price rise of a good's substitute makes the good relatively cheaper & increases that good's demand.
  • Price fall of a good's substitute makes the good relatively expensive & decreases that good's demand

So, If tablet computers & e - readers are substitutes : Decline in price of tablet will make e - readers relatively expensive & decrease the demand for e - readers.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

D. 5.19

Explanation:

Zero coupon bond is the bond which does not offer any interest payment. It is issued on deep discount price and Traded in the market on discounted price.

According to given data

Face value = F = $1,000

Year to maturity = n = 15 Years

Current price = P = $468

Yield to maturity = [ ( F / P )^(1/15) ] - 1

Yield to maturity = [ ( $1,000 / 468 )^(1/15) ] - 1

Yield to maturity = 1.0519 - 1

Yield to maturity = 0.0519 = 5.19%

Stock J has a beta of 1.23 and an expected return of 13.25 percent, while Stock K has a beta of .84 and an expected return of 10
padilas [110]

Answer:

  • a. What is the portfolio weight of each stock?

Stock J    0,5047  

Stock K   0,4953

  • b. What is the expected return of your portfolio?

Stock J   6,69%

Stock K   5,25%

Portfolio : 11,94%

Explanation:

To find the Beta that equals to market we need to know how much is x (weight of each stock in the portfolio) with an equation of one variable that equals to 1.

Portoflio with the same risk as the market means a beta of 1,00    

1,23 (x) + 0,84 (1-x) = 1    Stock J = 0,4103  

1,23x + 0,84 - 0,84x = 1    Stock K = 0,5897  

1,23x - 0,84x = 0,16    

0,39x = 0,16    

x = 0,16/0,39    

x = 0,4103    

The expected return of the portfolio it's defined by the weight of each stock and the expected return.

Stock J  13,25%  0,5047  6,69%

Stock K  10,60%  0,4953  5,25%

Portfolio       1,00  11,94%

Powers Corporation has provided the following information for its most recent month of operation: sales $16,000; ending inventor
Elza [17]

Answer:

The beginning inventory was  $2000.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the Cost of Goods sold. The cost of Goods sold is the difference between the Sales and the gross profit. Thus, the cost of goods sold is 16000 - 10000  =  $6000

The value of the beginning inventory for the period can be calculated by using the Cost of Goods sold formula. The cost of goods sold is calculated as:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory

Plugging in the available figures in the formula,

6000  =  Beginning Inventory  +  8000  -  4000

6000 = Beginning inventory + 4000

6000 - 4000 = Beginning Inventory

Beginning Inventory = $2000

Problem 2-16 Balance Sheet (LG2-1) Glen’s Tobacco Shop has total assets of $96.4 million. Fifty percent of these assets are fina
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The balance for long-term debt and retained earnings on Glen’s Tobacco Shop’s balance sheet is $18.2 million and $27.8 million respectively

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Debt = 50% ×  Total Assets

= 50% × $96.4 million

= $48.20 million

As we know that

Total Debt = Current Liabilities + Long Term Debt

$48.20 million = $ 30.0 million + Long Term Debt

So, the long term debt is $18.2 million

Now,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity

where,

Total Assets = Long Term Debt + Current Liabilities + Common Stock and paid-in surplus + Retained Earnings

$96.4 million = $18.2 million + $30.0 million + $20.4 million + retained earnings

So, the retained earnings is $27.8 million
