Answer:

B

Explanation:

Beta of a portfolio is given by adding the some of the beta of each stock multiplied by the weights

Overall investment equals $50000+$50000=$100000

which gives Wx=50000/100000=0.5

                    Wy=50000/100000=0.5

Bp=Wx*Bx)+(Wy*By)

     =(0.5*1.6)+(0.5*1.6)

     =1.6

The expected return calculated by sum of weight multiplied by expected return

Er=(0.5*15%)+(0.5*15%)

    =15%

The portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6 and expected return equal to 15%

sweet [91]

Answer:

What is the amount of gross profit to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

                    = $54,200 - 15,100

                    = $39,100

What is the amount of operating income (EBIT) to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

EBIT = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses

We have the following operating expenses:

Salaries expense $7,100

Rent expense = $4,900

Supplies expense = $1,300

Utilities expense = $4,800

Depreciation expense = $2,500

Total operating expenses = $20,600

Now we substract this figure from the gross profit we found above

EBIT = $39,100 - 20,600

        = $18,500

What is the amount of earnings before taxes (EBT) to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

EBT = Sales Revenues + Interest Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Non-Operating Expenses.

EBT = $54,200 + $1,400 - $15,100 - $20,600 - $2,100

      = $17,800

What is the amount of net income to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

Net Income = Sales Revenues + Interest Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Non-Operating Expenses - Tax Expense

We simply substract the Tax Expense ($3,700), from the EBT.

Net Income = $17,800 - $3,700

                   = $14,100

poizon [28]

Answer:

The computations are as follows

Explanation:

a)  Before tax income  is

 = After Tax Income ÷ (1 - Tax Rate)

= $58,500 ÷ (1 - 0.35)

= $90,000

b) Total Contribution Margin

Contribution Margin = Fixed Costs + Before Tax Income

= $190,000 + $90,000

= $280,000

c) Calculation of Total Sales

Variable Cost is 75% of Sales

SO, Contribution Margin 25% of Sales

Contribution Margin = $280,000

25% of Sales = $280,000

Sales = $280,000 ÷ 25%

         = $1,120,000

d) Break Even Point in dollars

Break Even Point in dollar = Total Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin percentage

= $190,000 ÷ 25%  

= $760,000

We simply applied the above formula
