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%

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: The answer is 1950000

Explanation:

✓ Goods in transit on December 31, 2008:

Goods amounting to 100000 will be added into purchases of the year-end because they have already been sold as risk and rewards have been transferred to the Barlow that is goods have been physically dispatched to the Barlow. Hence this will increase accounts payable by 100000.

✓Goods in transit lost:

These words will also be included in the purchases and accordingly in the accounts payable irrespective of the fact that these have been destroyed. These goods were dispatched to the Barlow and therefore risk and rewards also been transferred hence purchase is done from Barlow's perspective.

So:

Total accounts payables are as under

Opening balance: 180000

Goods in transit reached next year:100000

Goods in transit lost:50000

Total: 1950000

A company pays each of its two office employees each Friday at the rate of $100 per day each for a five-day week that begins on

MatroZZZ [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

1 employees earns $ 100 a day

Therefore;

2 employees will earn $ 200 a day

The month ends on Tuesday, but the two employees works on Monday and Tuesday.

Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record will be the amount earned by the two employees on the two days.

Two employees for 2 days = $200/day × 2 days

= $400

But, salary is an expense, and in the accounts an increase in expense account is debited.

According to the rule of double entry, an increase in salaries expense decreases the salaries payable. Therefore, we debit salaries expense account and credit salaries payable account.

Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record the salaries earned but unpaid would be;

Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b

Alex73 [517]

Answer: Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.
