Answer:

The expected rate of return and the market risk premium on the market is 7% and 4% respectively

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)

Let us assume Risk free-rate of return be X

And, the market rate of return be Y

For Stock A

5% = Risk-free rate of return + 0.5 × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

5% = X + 0.5 × (Y - X)

5% = 0.5X + 0.5Y

For Stock B

9% = Risk-free rate of return + 1.5 × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

9% = X + 1.5 × (Y - X)

9% = -0.5X + 1.5Y

By comparing the equations,

14% = 2Y

Y = 7%

And, X equals to

5% = 0.5X + 3.5%

1.5% = 0.5X

X = 3%

So, expected rate of return is 7%

And the market risk premium

= 7% - 3%

= 4%

3. Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification
Mazyrski [523]

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:

<u>(a) FIFO</u>

In using this method we calculate cost based on the price of the earliest (first) purchased inventory date.

(b) LIFO

Here we calculate cost by using the price of the most recent (last) purchased inventory date. eg for inventory cost calulations for March 9 we use the price value of March 29

(c) weighted average

This meeting uses the average cost of the entire inventory in the month. Calculated by dividing total cost by today inventory.

(d) specific identification.

Here cost are just assigned to each individual item or batch of items in the period.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The net credit position is -28,420 (thus, is i na debit position)

if the payment cycle increases to 37 days then, net credit position 40,800

The company improve its cash flow as is now delaying the paying of the purchases for more days thus, redducing his overall cash needs per year.

Explanation:

The net credit position is the difference between accounts receivable and accounts payable

Accounts receivable = average daily credit sales X average collection period receivable

Accounts receivable: 10,010 x 32 = 320,320

Accounts payable = average daily credit purchases X average payment period payable

Account Payable: 9,730 x 30 = 291,900

Accounts Receivable - Accounts Payable:

320,320 - 291,900 = 28,420

If the tiem period increases; then:

A/P = 9,730 x 37 = 361,120

position: 320,320 - 361,120 = 40,800

Alex

Answer:

balance sheet

Explanation:

A balance sheet is one of the most essential financial statements that helps accountants and managers grasp the financial structure of the company, at a <u>certain point of time</u>.

The balance sheet clearly states the company's assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity, rigorously adhering to the basic accounting equation:

Assets = Stockholder's Equity + Liabilities

The equilibrium of the equation above is non-negotiable; it relies on common sense too. Every company owns things - <em>assets</em>, which were obtained with the aid of a e.g. bank loan - <em>liability, </em>or investor money - <em>stockholders' equity</em>.

These three groups can be further itemized into smaller, concrete accounts. Also, the <em>liquidity principle</em> is applicable in terms of ordering the items in an increasing liquidity order.

The time context is also an important distinction of this specific financial statement. While statements such as the P&L statement refer to <em>a specific time interval</em> (year, quarter...), the balance sheet reflects <em>a specific point of time.  </em>
