Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": required rate of return.

Explanation:

The required rate of return helps investors determine where to invest and allows them to compare their investment returns to all other choices. They can do this by taking the Risk-Free Rate of Return, Inflation, and Liquidity into account. The required risk of return is subjective and varies from investor to investor.

The lower the required risk of return implies investors are confident in the stock providing them profits which is a signal of stability of that asset that will be interpreted in an increase in the stock value.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is 25%

Explanation:

To calculate the value of the tax rate to decide on the municipal bond, we must take the information of the annual yield minus the expenses associated with this product, on the interest of the corporate bond:

Tax Rate = 1 - (0.0525 / 0.0700) = 25%

In this way, 25% or more, is a percentage of the tax rate that can make them decide on the municipal bond option.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Leno Company will record a debit to Cash in the amount of: D. $9,800

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, n/30 means 2% discount for the payment within 10 days and the full amount to be paid within 30 days.

Fallon Company pays the invoice within the discount period - early enough to receive a 2% discount. The discount amount is 2% x $10,000 = $200.

On the other hand, Leno Company has to offer a 2% discount to Fallon Company. Cash amount Leno Company receives = $10,000 - 2% x $10,000 = $9,800

Leno Company will record a debit to Cash in the amount of $9,800

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for t

finlep [7]

Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.

Explanation:

For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.

Jenson's Alpha:

= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%

Market return(E(Em) = 14%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)

= 6 + 12

= 18%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%

Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%

Market return(E(Rm) = 15%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)

= 3 + 18

= 21%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%

Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.
