Answer:

A, $286,000

Explanation:

Whenever there is equity method followed, for accounting of subsidiary then entire income and dividends received are accounted for in the cost of investment.

Here cost = $257,000

Add: all the incomes of Merriam = $40,000 + $47,000 = $87,000

Less: Any dividends received = $10,000 + $10,000 = $20,000

Less: Amortization = $19,000 + $19,000 = $38,000

Therefore, total carrying value = $257,000 + $87,000 - $20,000 - $38,000

= $286,000

In equity method therefore, carrying value on December 31, 2018 = $286,000

Final Answer

A, $286,000

                          Net income of year 2017

                                            -

                          Dividend declared in 2017

= $286,000

A stock has an expected return of 11.85 percent, its beta is 1.24, and the expected return on the market is 10.2 percent. What m
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market
  • (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x  =  0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer is option A) The short run recommendation for a monopolistic firm is to remain at the current output level

Explanation:

In the short run, monopolistic firms could record losses but still continue to run in anticipation of a sustainable profit in the long run.

A self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies understands that the short run losses experienced in a monopoly is also an advantage in that it reduces the participation of more players in the same industry/ market segment.

The best recommendation would be to remain at the current output level during the short run to cut losses, sustain patronage and then develop a long term strategy that will guarantee profitability in the long run.
