Answer:

e) 3.38%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Required rate of return  = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For A

= 4.25% + 0.70 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 0.70 × 6.75%

= 4.25% + 4.725%

= 8.975%

For B

= 4.25% + 1.20 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 1.20× 6.75%

= 4.25% + 8.1%

= 12.35%

So, the difference would be

=  12.35% - 8.975%

= 3.375%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as market risk premium

Answer:

17.27 years

Explanation:

For this question we use the NPER formula that is shown on the attachment below:

Provided that  

Present value = $340,000

Future value = $25,000

PMT = $35,000

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the number of year is 17.27 years

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Cole Co.

Bank Reconciliation Statement

Balance as per cash account adjusted $112,933

add uncredited deposits                             11,317

less Outstanding checks                         -41,750

Balance as per bank statement            $82,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash account debit balance = $95,250

Bank statement balance = $82,500

Outstanding checks = $11,317

Credit memorandum $18,000

Collection fee $45

Check 1115 for Rent Expense of $1,350 transposed as $1,050 = $300 ($1,350 - $1050)

Uncredited deposits = $41,750

Interest earned = $28

Cash Account Adjustment:

Cash account debit balance        $95,250

Debit:

Credit memorandum                      18,000

Interest earned                                      28

Credit:

Collection fee                                       -45

Rent Expense (understated)             -300

Adjusted cash account balance $112,933

b) The bank reconciliation statement above was prepared after adjusting the cash account with items that were recorded by the bank but not recorded by Cole Co. and other misstatements.  With the adjusted cash account balance, the bank reconciliation was then carried out with the items that were not recorded by the bank.  The resulting figure should agree with the bank statement balance.

Compare and contrast anticipatory and response-based business models. Why has responsiveness become popular in supply chain coll
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Forecast and planning

Explanation:

An anticipatory model is a model under which market forecast determines the production of products by the manufacturer, and purchases by retailers also determined by forecasts and promotional plans. Since the forecasts are wrong most of the times, anticipatory model usually leads to differences in the actual production of the firms and what they initially planned to produce.  

Anticipatory Model is a risky model because anticipation of future events always determines the work to do by the firm.

On the contrary, the Responsive Business Model does not depend on forecasts, but ensure that what to be done are adequately planned and information among firms in the supply chain are properly exchanged. This makes the model not to be risky and ensure doing more than what has already been planned is avoided. Therefore, the aim of the responsive model which also known as Pull Model is to eliminate reliance on forecast.  

The major reason the Responsive Model has become popular in supply chain collaborations is that it allows for the customization of products on smaller orders by customers.  However, the Anticipatory Model does not give customers any choice or power but to buy or not buy.
