Blababa [14]

Answer:

$3,176 , it's two months of interests $1,588 + $1,588

Explanation:

If the company paid each month 1/12 of capital plus interest it means that it's necessary to deduct the total amount of interests paid each month.

The company paid $25,588 and the monthly capital it's $24,000, therefore the company paid on interest an amount of $1,588 each month.

The issue of a one year installment note means that the company repay the principal to the lender in a series of periodic payments, in this case each month pay principal plus interests

In the income statement we have to applied the accrual criteria which means that the company only recognize the interest paid in the past months, November and December.

Th e correct option is (b). Portfolio risk

3. Generally, investors would prefer to invest in assets that have:

a. A higher-than-average expected rate of return given the perceived risk

Explanation:

1. Based on my understanding of P/E ratios, in which of the following situations would the average trailing P/E ratio (current price divided by earnings per share over the previous 12 months) of the S&P 500 Index be higher?

Th e correct option is (b). The outlook for the economy and the markets is for improvement. If the outlook of the economy and the market prospects of the stocks are for improvements, it then means that the Price Per Earning of the stock will be increasing, which is a positive economic trend.

Moreover, since we are talking about the average P/E it can be inferred that in the very long run, average of the S&P 500 Price to Earnings (PE) ratio (since 1900) is approximately 15.8, and the ratio since 1946 (the post-World War II period) is 17.3, so, it is fair to call a "normal" PE ratio about 16.5, which is relatively stable over the years.

2. You invest $100,000 in 40 stocks, 20 bonds, and a certificate of deposit (CD). What kind of risk will you primarily be exposed to?

Th e correct option is (b). Portfolio risk is the chance that the combination of assets or units, within the investments that you own, fail to meet financial objectives. Each investment within a portfolio carries its own risk, with higher potential return typically meaning higher risk. It can be computed as the risk of the two-securities portfolio, first take the square of the weight of 40 Stocks ($100,000.00) and multiply it by square of standard deviation of the 40 stocks. Repeat the calculation for 20 Bonds and a Certificate of Deposit.

3. Generally, investors would prefer to invest in assets that have:

a. A higher-than-average expected rate of return given the perceived risk Yes they will because a higher -than average expected rate of return will inform the investor the type of strategies to adopt to guarantee the expected earnings containing the risk.

Zigmanuir [339]

I recommend Bizcom to install an extranet, to enable quick collaboration over the Internet, minimize the time spent communicating with the client, and minimize the amount of paperwork needed.

Explanation:

Extranet is a kind of private network that helps organizations to exchange the information securely over Internet. The extranet can be used by vendors, suppliers and authorized set of customers to enable communication.

Internet helps in enabling quick collaboration and also reduces the paperwork. As all the information can be confidentially shared and stored using the Internet, the use of paper can be reduced. The time spent for communicating with the client can also be reduced.

In the above scenario, Bizcom has its consultants from various places. It is difficult to travel to every place and organize meeting. So installing an extranet can help them in keeping connected.

Kaiser Industries has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 14 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling

9966 [12]

Answer:

The Coupon rate is 11.66%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Selling price = P = $1,382.01

Number of payment = n = 14 years

Bond Yield = 7.5%

The coupon rate can be calculated using following formula

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

7.5% = [ C + ( $1,000 - 1,382.01 ) / 14 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,382.01 ) / 2 ]

7.5% = [ C - $27.29 ] / $1,191

7.5% x $1,191 = C - $27.29

$89.33 = C - $27.29

C = $89.33 + $27.29 = $116.62

Coupon rate = $116.62 / $1,000 = 0.11662 = 11.66%
