Answer:

1.15

Explanation:

If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;

weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333

Let the stocks be A and B

weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333

weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333

Beta of A; bA = 1.85

Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"  

Beta of risk free; bRF = 0

Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "

The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;

wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF

1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)

1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0

1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB

0.3834 = 0.3333bB

Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;

bB = 0.3834/0.3333

w=bB = 1.15

Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15

A computer company had $3,000,000 in research and development costs. Before recording these costs, the net income of the company
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Net income of the company accounted for $400,000

Explanation:

Net income is the income or the amount of residual income from the earnings after deducting all the expense or cost from the sales.

The net income or loss of the company accounted for is computed as:

Net Income or Loss = Net Income - Research and Development cost

where

Net Income amounts to $3,400,000

Research and Development cost amounts to $3,000,000

So, putting the values above:

Net Income or loss = $3,400,000 - $3,000,000

Net Income  = $400,000

For fixed-rate bonds it's important to realize that the value of the bond has a(n)-Select relationship to the level of interest
pogonyaev

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

It's necessary to remember that the value of fixed-rate bonds is inversely proportional to the level of interest rates. The value of the bond decreases as interest rates rise; moreover, the value of the bond rises as interest rates fall. A Bond with a lower coupon sells for less than its face value. When the going rate of interest is higher than the coupon rate, this condition arises. The value of the asset would increase over time. A higher coupon bond is one that sells for a higher price than its face value. When the going rate of interest is lower than the coupon rate, this condition arises. Its value will gradually decrease until it reaches its maturity value. A par value bond that sells at par, with a coupon rate equal to the current interest rate. The coupon is usually set at the going market rate on the day the bond is sold, so it sells at par at first.

Calculations:

C = Coupon Payments = $60 (Par Value x Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 10

i = market rate or required yield = 7% = 0.007

K = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 1

P = value at maturity or par value = 1000

Present value of ordinary annuity formula:

Bond Price = C/k * [\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + \frac{i}{k})^{nk}  } }{\frac{i}{k} } ] + \frac{P}{(1 + \frac{i}{k})^{nk}  }

Just plug in the values and you will get:

Bond Price = 60 x 7.02 + 508.35

Bond Price = 421.41 508.35

Bond Price = $929.76

Similarly,

Data:

C = Coupon Payments = $60 (Par Value x Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 10

i = market rate or required yield = 7% = 0.007

K = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

P = value at maturity or par value = 1000

Present value of ordinary annuity formula:  

Bond Price = C/k * [\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + \frac{i}{k})^{nk}  } }{\frac{i}{k} } ] + \frac{P}{(1 + \frac{i}{k})^{nk}  }

Just plug in the values and you will get:  

Bond Price = 30 x 14.21 + 502.57

Bond Price = 426.37 + 502.57

Bond Price = $928.94

kirill115 [55]

Curtis Williams is 69 years old. His wife, Mary Williams, is 67 years old. Curtis and Mary plan to file a joint return. Mary is legally blind. IRS provides high standard deduction to married couples who have age of 65 or above and blind or one of the partner is legally blind.

IRS states that if filling for joint return is done by married taxpayers in the year 2022 then normal standard deduction is $25,900. In this case Curtis and Mary both are over the age of 65 and Mary is blind too then as per IRS guidelines they will get $1,400 deduction per person for being above 65 plus Mary will get additional $1,400 deduction for being legally blind.

$25,900 + $1,400 + $1,400 + $1,400 = $30,100

Hence, Curtis and Mary's standard deduction is $30,100.

Forecasted depreciation expense, commonly estimated as: [(Current year depreciation expense / Prior year PPE, net) x Current yea
Radda [10]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The Statement of Cash flows is prepared to show the cash transactions of a company and only cash. The effect of anything non cash is not shown.

Depreciation is a non-cash expense which means that it reduces the net income without actually reducing the cash to the company. It would therefore be added back to the cash balance of the company so as to reflect that it did not reduce cash. The addition will be in the operating activities of the Statement of Cashflows.
