Answer:
A firm with financial leverage has a larger equity multiplier than an otherwise identical firm with no debt in its capital structure.
Explanation:
The equity multiplier basically tells us what portion of the company's assets were financed through equity, i.e. what portion was financed by the company's owners.
the formula to determine the equity multiplier = total assets / total equity
the higher the equity multiplier, the higher the return on equity (ROE), but a high equity multiplier (financial leverage) also increases the company's risk since eventually it might not be able to pay off its creditors if something goes wrong.
Answer: Option A
Explanation: For finance, an investment's beta (β or beta coefficient) is a measure of risk as opposed to idiosyncratic variables resulting from vulnerability to current market fluctuations.
The financial assets ' equity pool has a beta of precisely 1. A beta under 1 may imply either a less volatility in investment than the market, or a volatile portfolio whose price changes are not closely linked to the industry.Beta is relevant because it calculates the risk of a diversification-free investment.
Answer:
11.611 +/- 3.013
Explanation:
3 3.5 4 6 7 8 8.5 12.5 15
7 17 19 12 19 22 28 20 28
difference
4 13.5 15 6 12 14 19.5 7.5 13
mean = 11.611
the standard deviation ⇒ 7.611² + 1.889² + 3.389² + 5.611² + 0.389² + 2.389² - 7.889² + 4.111² + 1.389² = 57.927 + 3.568 + 11.485 + 31.483 + 0.151 + 5.707 + 62.236 + 16.9 + 1.929 = 191.386/9 = √21.265 = 4.611
standard deviation = 4.611 1.918
confidence interval = mean +/- [(standard deviation/√9) x 1.96]
11.611 + [(4.611/3) x 1.96] = 11.611 + 3.013
11.611 - [(4.611/3) x 1.96] = 11.611 - 3.013
Answer:
A) Obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether changes in the accounting policies have been appropriately accounted for and adequately presented and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
Explanation:
When such things happen, the auditor must search more information regarding the accounting policies and must evaluate if the company's accountants adopted accounting policies that are legal and adjust to applicable financial reporting (e.g. GAAP in the US). The auditor must also try to determine the effects of the applied policies and if all proper disclosures have been included or not. The auditor should also try to determine why the company's accounting department did that and how do they justify it.
Answer: 2.77
Explanation:
Portfolio Beta is the Weighted Average Beta of all the individual stocks in a portfolio.
Seeing as the other betas and proportions are given, we can plug this into a formula to find out the beta of stock B.
In case you do not see a beta for the U.S. Treasury bills that's fine because beta is a measure of risk and U.S. Treasury bills have NONE so that means that their better is 0.
And if you are wondering what the beta of stock A is, the answer is 1 because that is the beta of the overall market by definition.
Creating a formula therefore we have,
1.75 = 0.17(0) + 0.31(1) + 0.52x
0.52x = 1.75 - 0.31
0.52x = 1.44
x = 2.76923076923
x = 2.77 (2dp)
2.77 is the beta of Stock B.
