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%

$                      $

0 (750,000)             1          (750,000)

4        180,000               0.7350      132,300

                                        NPV         184,438

The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.

Explanation:

Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.

When comparing absorption costing and variable costing, if units produced are units sold, what is the effect on net operating in
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The Net Operating income will be the same for both methods.

Explanation:

Net Operating income under absorption costing and variable costing methods usually differ because of existence of inventory.

Fixed overheads are deferred in Inventory when using absorption costing. Meaning that a higher income is obtained under absorption costing than variable costing when there is inventory and a lower income under absorption costing than variable costing.

When units produced are units sold, there is no inventory. Therefore, the Net Operating income will be the same for both methods.

Net Income                                       0                              0

Explanation:

Part a

Contribution Margin = Contribution/Sales × 100

Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution

Net Income  =   Contribution - Total Fixed Costs                            

Part c

Break Even Point is when Billings neither makers a profit or loss.

Break Even Point ( Units) = Total Fixed Cost/Contribution per unit

Therefore Break Even Point (Units) = $59850/$133 = 450 units

Part d

The total and unit CVP should neither reflect a profit or loss at a capacity of 450 units as this is the break even point. In this case profit = nill
