Answer:
10.5%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
where,
Risk free rate of return = 7%
Market rate of return = 14%
And, the beta is 0.5
So the expected return is
= 7% + 0.5 × (14% - 7%)
= 7% + 0.5 × 7%
= 7% + 3.5%
= 10.5%
Answer:
a) $101354
Explanation:
To calculate the future balance of the interest-earning account use following formula
FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n
Where
FV = Future value = Balance of Interest-earning account after 3 years = ?
PV = present value = Amounr deposited in the account = $90,000
r = Periodic interest rate = 4% x 6/12 = 2%
n = Numbers of periods = Numbers of years x Compounding periods per year = 3 years x 2 periods per year = 6 periods
Placing values in the formula
FV = $90,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^6
FV = $101,354
Answer:
(a) Work/leisure choice
(b) Marketing strategy
Explanation:
Microeconomic issues relate to those that are within the scope and power of individuals, households and firms which means that problems here will relate to decisions that these participants make in relation to resource allocation.
Choices relating to leisure or work have to do with the individual and the resources they would need or derive from either work or leisure and so are a microeconomic problem.
The marketing strategy that a firm should pursue is related to an individual firm and so is a microeconomic problem as well.
Answer:
Residual Income = $6,000
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess income of a firm leftover the opportunity cost of capital or over the desired income.
Given,
The minimum rate of return 12%
Average operating assets = $300,000
Net operating income = $42,000
We know,
Residual Income = Net Operating Income - (Average operating assets x the minimum rate of return)
Residual Income = $42,000 - ($300,000 x 12%)
Residual Income = $42,000 - $36,000
Residual Income = $6,000
