A private investment club has $300,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the

stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a return rate of 15%; medium-risk stocks, 10%; and low-risk stocks, 6%. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $30,000 on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment is invested. Let x, y, and z denote the amount, in dollars, invested in high-, medium-, and low-risk stocks, respectively.)

Answer:

Investment in low risk=$150,000

Investment in medium risk =$30,000

Investment in high risk=$120,000

Explanation:

✓We can denote the investment in high risk as $x

✓ We can denote the investment medium risk as $y

✓We can denote the investment in low risk as($x + $y)

The summation of the investment = x + y +( x + y )= $300,000

If we add the like-terms together we have,

2x + 2y = $300,000

If we divide the both sides by 2, we have

x+y = 150,000

If we make "x" as subject of the formula, we have

x =150,000 -y •••••••••••eqn(**)

Total return on investments is

0.15x +0.10y +0 .06(x+y) = $30,000••••••••••••••••••••••••••••eqn(#)

Substitute for x from eqn(**) into equation (#)

0.15(150,000 -y) + 0.10y + 0.06(150,000-y +y) = 30,000

22500-0.15y+0.10y+9000= 30,000

0.05y=1500

y=1500/0.05

y=30,000

Recall, x =150,000 -y

Then

x = 150,000 - 30,000 = 120,000

y=30,000

x=120,000

Investment in low risk = x + y

= 30,000+120,000= 150,000

Hence, the investment in high risk

is $120,000, the investment medium risk is $30,000 and the investment in low risk is $ 150,000.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021    Patent Rights (Debit)                    210,000

                                  Cash/Bank (Credit)                            210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023     Legal fees                                      30,000

                                    Cash/Bank                                          30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.

Beau borrows $15,000 from credit center to buy a car. The lender assigns the right to receive the loan payments to debt collecti
alexandr1967 [171]

Beau gets a $15,000 loan from a credit union to buy an automobile. Debt  receives the assignment from the lender of the authority to accept loan payments. Beau can be sued by the assignee if he refuses to pay the loan.

A payment is the voluntarily made exchange of money, its equivalent, or other valuables by one party (such as an individual or business) for a loan another's goods, services, or to satisfy a legal obligation. Payer refers to the party sending the money, whereas payee denotes the recipient of the payment.

In principle, the payee is free to choose the payment method he or she will take; nevertheless, most payments regulations often compel the payer to accept the nation's legal cash up to a specified maximum. Except loan otherwise otherwise agreed by the parties, payments are typically made in the payee's native currency.
