Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is <u>$45,416</u>.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is <u>$45,416</u>.

Fortune, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the first quarter. The company sells a single product at a price of S25 per un
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $25 per unit.

Sales (in units):

January= 45,000

February= 55,000

March= 50,000

The cost of goods sold is $14 per unit.

The gross profit is calculated using the following formula:

Gross profit= selling price - cost of goods sold

January:

Sales= 45,000*25= 1,125,000

COGS= 45,000*14= (630,000)

Gross profit= 525,000

February:

Sales= 55,000*25= 1,375,000

COGS= 55,000*14= (770,000)

Gross profit= 605,000

March:

Sales= 50,000*25= 1,250,000

COGS= 50,000*14= (700,000)

Gross profit= 550,000

Black_prince [1.1K]
<span>A situation in which quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied best describes shortage. Shortage is when any product or service lacks the means to provide or satisfy its demand. A shortage in the product or service usually results to a price increase. On the other hand, a surplus results to a price decrease.</span>

A firm has $76,000,000 in debt, which accounts for 43% of their total funds raised; the after-tax cost of these funds is 6.10%.
Digiron [165]

11.55% is the weighted average cost of capital for these funds

Explanation:

Firm has 76000000 in debt and 100000000 in equity. Thus the proportion of debt =

             = 76000000/(76000000 + 100000000)

             = 43.18%

and proportion of equity =  1 - 43.18%  = 56.82%

Therefore, WACC =  0.4318 * 6.1 + 0.5682 * 15.7

                               = 11.55%
