Answer:
(C) Asset Y, since its coefficient of variation is lower and its expected return is higher
Explanation:
Given the various probabilities (P) and returns (R) for Asset X and Asset Y, their expected return is computed as follows.
Asset X = 
= (0.1*-3%) + (0.1*2%) + (0.25*5%) + (0.25*8%) + (0.3*10%)
Expected return (Asset X) = 6.15%
Asset Y = 
= (0.05*-3%) + (0.1*2%) + (0.3*5%) + (0.3*8%) + (0.25*10%)
Expected return (Asset Y) = 6.45%.
Due to its higher expected return, Asset Y should be preferred.
The answer is option C because it contained a statement that Asset Y has a higher expected return.
Option (B) is wrong because we are not certain if Asset Y has a lower beta. We were not given any information to compute the beta.
Options (A), (D) and (E) are wrong because they did not specify Asset Y has the preferred asset.
Answer:
0.82
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's asset beta
Using this formula
Firm's asset beta=Equity beta/(1+/D/E)
Let plug in the formula
Firm's asset beta=1.2/(1+0.47)
Firm's asset beta=1.2/1.47
Firm's asset beta=0.816
Firm's asset beta=0.82 (Approximately)
Therefore the firm's asset beta is 0.82
Answer:
The journal entry to record issuance of the bond would be:
Debit : Cash $382,942.
Credit : Bonds Payable $382,942.
Explanation:
At Issuance of Bonds, we recognize the Cash Asset and the Liability Bond Payable at the Issue Price of the Bond instead of Face Value.
The Issue Price is also known as the Present Value or Current Price of the Bond and for this question this was given as $382,942.
