I believe the answer is: had to make up the difference.

when you buy a stock on margin, you would technically borrowing money from the broker to buy stocks with current value price and would receive it in future stock value.

If the value of the stock increased in the future, you can cover the loan with percentage of the profit and receive the remaining. If the value fall, you had to make up for the difference.

You are evaluating a fund that had an annual average return of 7.2%. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 1.5% and t

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

= 7.2% - 6.7%

= 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.

On October 1, Eder Fabrication borrowed $60 million and issued a nine-month promissory note. Interest was payable at maturity. I

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

cash 55,110,929 debit

note payable 55,110,929 credit

--to record singing of promissory note with discounted interest--

interest expense 1.583.741,77 debit

note payable 1.583.741,77 credit

--to record accrued interest on note payable --

Explanation:

the note plus interest will be for 60 millions.

So to calcualte the isuance ofthe note we must calculate the present value of a lump sum at 12% discount rate:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 60,000,000.00

time 0.75

rate 0.12

$\frac{60000000}{(1 + 0.12)^{0.75} } = PV$

PV 55,110,929.18

then at December 31th we solve for the accrued interest:

$Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Principal 55,110,929.18

time 0.25 (3 months over 12 month a year)

rate 0.12000

$55110929.18154 \: (1+ 0.12)^{0.25} = Amount$

Amount 56,694,670.95

accrued interest: 56,694,670.95 - 55,110,929.18 = 1.583.741,77
