Answer:

The Beta is 1

The required return increases to 13%

Explanation:

The formula for required return is given below:

Required Return = Risk-Free Rate of Return + β(Market Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return)

required return is 11%

risk-free rate of return=7%

Beta is unknown

market return-risk free rate of return is market risk premium is 4%

11%=7%+beta(4%)

11%-7%=beta*4%

4%=beta*4%

beta=4%/4%

beta=1

If the market risk premium increased to 6%,required return is calculated thus:

required return=7%+1(6%)

required return =13%

This implies that the riskier the stock, the higher the market risk premium, the higher the required return to investors.

Ralph’s Hardware updated its accounting system and agreed to purchase a computer system from a manufacturer, Bits and Bytes (BB)

Andrej [43]

Given:
Fact 1: During contract negotiations, BB’s sales representative promised that the system was “A-1” and “perfect.”
Fact 2: The written contract, which the parties later signed, disclaimed all warranties, express and implied.
Fact 3: After installation the computer produced only random numbers and letters, rather than the desired accounting information

The express warranty is given in Fact 1 where the Sales Rep promised that the system was "A-1" and "perfect". There is a breach in express warranty here IF the written contract also expresses the same promises.

However, the written contract disclaimed all warranties, express and implied. AND BOTH PARTIES SIGNED THIS CONTRACT. It implies that the buyer has read through the contract and has agreed with what is written in the contract. Thus, they can't file a suit against BB for breaching an express warranty since the written and signed contract has already disclaimed all warranties.

The partnership of Anderson, Berry, Hammond, and Winwood is being liquidated. It currently holds cash of $20,000 but no other as

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Capital balances

Anderson 40% $20,000

Berry 30% $12,000

Hammond 20% $17,000 (Deficit)

Winwood 10% $25,000 (Deficit)

a. Total deficit in this case will be = Share of Hammond + Winwood = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Berry's share = $\frac{30}{30+40} \times 42,000 = 18,000$

Since Berry's current balance = $12,000

Contribution required = $18,000 - $12,000 = $6,000

b-1. Total deficit of Winwood = $25,000

Hammond share = $\frac{20}{20+30+40} \times 25,000 = 5,556$

Hammond's current balance = - $17,000

Thus, contribution from Hammond = $5,556 + $17,000 = $22,556

b-2. Total deficit balance = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Total sufficient balance = $20,000 + $12,000 = $32,000

Net deficit balance = $42,000 - $32,000 = $10,000

Anderson share in Deficit of Winwood = $25,000 \times \frac{40}{40 + 30 +20} = 11,111$

Thus, net capital of Anderson = $20,000 - $11,111 = $8,889

Berry's share in deficit of Winwood = $25,000 \times \frac{30}{40+30+20} = 8,333$

Thus, net capital from Berry = $12,000 - $8,333 = $3,667

c. Total deficit from Hammond = $17,000

Anderson share = $17,000 \times \frac{40}{40+30+10} = 8,500$

Anderson's current balance = $20,000

Amount extra contributed by Anderson = $20,000 - $8,500 = $11,500

Thus, Anderson will receive $11,500 on liquidation.

Final Answer

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500
