Answer:

5.4%

Explanation:

To calculate the risk free rate apply the CAPM equation

Risk free rate = expected rate - beta * ( market risk premium )

for portfolio A

Risk free rate = 13.4% - 1 * MRP

for portfolio B

Risk free rate = 15.0% - 1.2 *MRP

To calculate the risk free rate equate both equations

Risk free rate = 13.4% - 1*MRP = 15.0% - 1.2*MRP

                       = 1.2 *MRP - 1*MRP = 15.0% - 13.4%

                       = 0.2 MRP = 1.6% therefore MRP = 1.6 % /0.2 = 8%

Insert the MRP into equation for portfolio A

Risk free ratio = 13.4% - 1 *8% =  5.4%

Answer:

The answer is risk free rate should be 5.4%

Explanation:

We apply the CAMP model to solve the risk free rate: E(r) = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Market return - Risk free rate).

Denote X as risk free rate; y is market risk premium ( that is market return minus risk free rate)

We have:

For portfolio A: x + 1 * y = 13.4%;

For portfolio B: x + 1.2 * y = 15%

Solving the two equation above, we have: y = 8%; x = 5.4%

So, the risk free rate should be 5.4%.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1) Outside Location

2) Central Location

The profit will be the same when monthly demand is 230 cars

Explanation:

Let central location be termed as location A

Let outside location be termed as location B

<u>1. Demand 200 cars</u>

Profit- Location A = (90-30) * 200 - 7000 = $5000

Profit- Location B = (90-40) * 200 - 4700 =$5300

<u>2. Demand 300 cars</u>

Profit- Location A = (90-30) * 300 - 7000 = $11000

Let x be the number of cars where profit is same,

we will equate both the profit equations

(90-30)*x - 7000 = (90-40)*x - 4700

60x - 7000 = 50x - 4700

60x - 50x = 7000 -4700

10x = 2300

x = 2300/10

x = 230 cars

Profit- Location B = (90-40) * 300 - 4700 =$10300

Explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement.
butalik [34]

Answer: AGREE

Explanation:

A Monopoly faces no competition and are the only sellers of the product they sell. If firms in an industry successfully engage in collusion, the resultant effect will definitely be not unlike a Monopoly because they will set prices as a single firm, control output as a single firm and essentially run the market as a single firm.

They will sell at a rate where the Marginal Revenue curve will be below the demand curve. This will mean a higher price than a competitive market which was probably the main incentive for collusion.

A recent example would be the collusion between BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen, to hinder technological progress in improving the quality of vehicle emissions in order to reduce the cost of production and maximize profits. Thankfully this was busted by the European Commission in 2019.

Financial statements that give effect to a subsequent event as though the event had occurred at the balance sheet date are known
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is Pro forma financial statements.

Explanation:

A subsequent event can be defined as an event which takes place after the reporting period, but before the financial statements of a company are issued.  And depending on what kind of event they are like additional information or new events, it will be decided whether these events should be disclosed in a company's financial statement or not.

If it is decided that the subsequent event should be disclosed in the company's financial statement then a pro forma financial statement would be made, in which nature and financial effect of the subsequent event should be disclosed.
