Suppose that the equation for the SML is Y = 0.05 + 0.07X, where Y is the average expected rate of return, 0.05 is the vertical

intercept, 0.07 is the slope, and X is the risk level as measured by beta.What is the risk free interest rate for this SML?What is the average expected rate of return at a beta of 1.5?What is the value of beta at an average expected rate of return of 7 percent?

Answer:

Risk free interest rate is 5%

Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5

X is 0.29 when Y is 7%

Explanation:

Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation

The average expected return is given by Y

Y=0.05+0.07X

Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus

Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)

Y=0.05+0.105

Y=0.155

Y=15.5%

The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:

7%=0.05+0.07X

where X is the unknown

0.07=0.05+0.07X

0.07-0.05=0.07X

0.02=0.07X

X=0.02/0.07

X=0.29

The scenario  illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.

If the demand for money is $100 billion and the supply of money is $200 billion, then the interest rate will: fall. rise. remain
Alik [6]

Answer:

fall

Explanation:

The situation above can be best explained by using the "Liquidity Preference Theory." According to the theory when money supply increases (as in the situation above), the interest rate falls. So, this means that many people will be more willing to invest, thereby resulting to a higher income. On the contrary, if the money supply decreases, the interest rate rises. This may temporarily increase the employment condition, however, it can lead to inflation in the long-run.

So, this explains the answer.

The primary difference between manufacturing companies and service companies is that the products provided by service companies
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The products by services companies are consumed immediately.

Explanation:

Goods are physical tangible products that are used to satisfy human needs and wants. On the other hand, services are non-physical, nontangible products that also serve the purpose of satisfying human needs and wants.  

The manufactured good can be stored in inventories after production, however, the services are consumed as they are produced. They cannot be stored in inventories to be consumed later. They have to be consumed immediately.  

This is the main difference between the products of manufacturing companies and services companies.

Suppose that over one range of​ prices, the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand varies from 15.0 to​ 2.5, and over
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

In the first range of prices (with PED 15 - 2.5) as the price of the good or service falls, total revenue should increase. Imagine that a 1% reduction in price will result in a 15% increase in quantity demanded. The same happens when PED = 2.5, since a 1% reduction will increase quantity demanded by 2.5%.

e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000

  • price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 115, total revenue = $11,385
  • price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 102.5, total revenue = $10,147.50

On the other range (PED = 1.5 - 0.75) as the price of the good or service falls, at first total revenue will increase but then it will decrease.

e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000

  • price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 101.5, total revenue = $10,048.50
  • price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 100.75, total revenue = $9,974.25

Prokp Co.'s records for April disclosed the following data relating to direct labor: Actual labor cost (payroll) for April$35,00
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

2,256 hours

Explanation:

The computation of the total standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) for units produced is shown below;

As we know that

Labor rate variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Actual hours ×  Standard rate)

($5,000) = $35,000 - (2,500 ×  Standard rate)

2,500 ×  Standard rate = $40,000

Standard rate = $16

Now

Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours ×  Standard rate) - (Standard hours ×  Standard rate)

$3,900 = (2,500 ×  $16) - (Standard hours ×  $16)

Standard hours ×  $16 = 36,100

Standard hours = 2,256.25

= 2,256 hours

less acc. amortization       480          18,720

Total net intangible assets          $167,520

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Amount paid for Old Master Golf Company = $780,000

Fair value of old master's assets = $810,000

Less liabilities =                                 (190,000) (620,000)

Purchased Goodwill =                                       $160,000

Intangible assets:      Amortization Period  Amortization Expense for 2020

Goodwill = $160,000      10 years                  $16,000 ($160,000/10)

Trade name $6,000        5 years                      1,200 ($6,000/5)

Copyright   $19,200      40 years                        480 ($19,200/40)

Total amortization expense for 2020 =       $17,680
