Answer: 0.92

Explanation:

Beta is a measure of riskiness and Market beta is always 1.

The total portfolio therefore has a beta of 1.

Portfolio Beta is weighted average of the betas of the composite stocks.

The stocks are equally invested in so their weights are 0.5.

Assume the beta needed is x.

(0.5 * 1.08) + (0.5 * x) = 1

0.54 + 0.5x = 1

0.5x = 1 - 0.54

x = 0.46/0.5

= 0.92

Answer:

Cash debit 1,200

Note Receivable debit 2,800

Account Receivable credit 4,000

Explanation:

The accounting will reflect the receipt of cash and the note at their principal.

The interest of the note will ge accrued with the past of time. Currently no interest was earned, so we don't have to post anything related to the interest of the note.

We just write-off the account receivable of the customer and declare how we settle.

Novak Corp. bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $390000 and had an expected salvage value of $35000. The lif
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$177,000

Explanation:

In order to find the book value of the equipment we need to find the amount of depreciation per year. To do this we need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then simply divide by 5 which is the life span of the equipment...

(390,000 - 35,000) / 5 = x

355,000 / 5 = x

71,000 = x

Now we see that the equipment will depreciate by $71,000 per year. In three years the depreciation would be

71,000 * 3 = 213,000

Now we simply subtract this value from the initial cost to get the book value in the third year

390,000 - 213,000 = 177,000
