Answer:

Businesses that produce good products are rewarded with profits

Explanation:

In the free enterprise system, governments do not interfere with economic activities in the country. The private sector does all the production and distribution of goods and services.

No restrictions are put in place on the type or number of businesses that entrepreneurs can operate. Due to this reason, business competition is very intense. Customers choose their preferred products from a wide variety offered by the many suppliers. Producers who make products that satisfy customers' needs are rewarded with profits.

aleksley [76]

Option C -Operating Cash Flow = Current Liabilities / Operating Cash Flow s not a correct way of calculating a liquidity ratio.

Liquidity ratios are a measure of a company's ability to settle its short-term payments. A company has the ability to quickly exchange its revenues and is using them to pay his obligations is dictated by its liquidity ratios. The potential to pay back debts and keep engaged on installments is simpler the better the ratio. Since this can vary by industry, and current ratio of 1.0 usually signals that a group's debt do not exceeding its liquid assets. In enterprises in which there is a quicker product changeover and/or shorter payment cycles, ratings below 1.0 may be acceptable.

Absolute liquidity ratio =(Cash + Marketable Securities)÷ Current Liability.

Probability of recession, normal and boom states of economy is 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25 respectively. Find the expected return for Jackson Corporation. Round to the nearset hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.)

Answer:

23.00

Explanation:

Given:

For Jackson Corporation:

Expected return during recession = 12%

Expected return during normal = 20%

Expected return during boom = 40%

For Economy:

Probability of recession = 0.25

Probability of normal = 0.50

Probability of boom = 0.25

Required:

Find the expected return for Jackson Corporation.

To find expected return, use the expression below:

Expected return = (Probability of Recession * Returns at Recession) + (Probability of Normal * Returns at Normal) + (Probability of Boom * Returns at Boom)

Using the expression above, expected return for Jackson corporation will be calculated as:

Expected return = (25×12%)+(0.50×20%)+(0.25×40%)

Effie Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January, 2021 are as follows:

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Ending inventory : $868

Explanation:

FIFO (First-In-First-Out) is a method of inventory valuation where the inventory that is received first is sold first. In other words, the earliest inventory is used first. This is common for perishable inventory such as fruits and vegetables which if not used fast, will be wasted.

01/01/21 : Beginning Inventory : 200 units x $5 = $1000

01/15/21 : Purchases : 100 units x $5.3 = $530

01/28/21 : Purchases : 100 units x $5.5 = $550

Total units = 200 + 100 + 100 = 400 units

Units sold = Total inventory available for sale - ending inventory

= 400 - 160 = 240 units.

COGS:

Beginning Inventory : 200 units x $5 = $1000

Purchases : 40 units x $5.3 = $212

Cost of goods sold : $1000 + $212 = $1212

Ending inventory:

Purchases : (100 - 40) units x $5.3 = $318

Purchases : 100 units x $5.5 = $550

Ending inventory : $318 + $550 = $868

Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $150,000 or $290,000 with equal

lara [203]

Answer:

(A) The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio is $194,690.

(B) The expected rate of return is 13%.

Explanation:

A. If you require a risk premium of 7%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?

The amount you be willing to pay for the portfolio can be calculated using the following formula:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = Expected cash flow / (1 + Required rate of return) ................... (1)

Where;

Expected cash flow = ($150,000 * 0.5) + ($290,000 * 0.5) = $220,000

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 6% + 7% = 13%, or 0.13

Therefore, we have:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = $220,000 / (1 + 0.13) = $220,000 / 1.13 = $194,690

B. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?

The expected rate of return (E(r)) can be calculated using the following formula:

Amount to be paid for the portfolio * [1 + E(r)] = Expected cash flow

Therefore, we have:

$194,690 * [1 + E(r)] = $220,000

$194,690 + ($194,690 * E(r)) = $220,000

$194,690 * E(r) = $220,000 - $194,690

$194,690 * E(r) = $25,310

E(r) = $25,310 / $194,690 = 0.13, or 13%

Therefore, the expected rate of return is 13%.

C. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 6% + 15% = 21%, or 0.21

Using equation (1) in part A, we have:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = $220,000 / (1 + 0.21) = $220,000 / (1.21) = $181,818
