Answer:

C. 7.81%

Explanation:

Stock A and Stock B expected Return shall be calculated using the following formula:

Stock A/B expected [email protected]*Return at [email protected]*Return at [email protected]*Return at Recession.

Stock A return=0.21*18.9%+0.74*15.8%+0.05*-24.6%

                       =14.43%

Stock B return=0.21*9.7%+0.74*7.6%+0.05*4.2%

                       =7.87%

Market risk premium=(Stock A Return- Stock B return)/0.84

Market risk premium=(14.43%-7.87%)/0.84=7.81%

So Based on the above explanation, the answer shall be C. 7.81%

An economic system in which the interaction of supply and demand determines the quantity in which goods and services are produce
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The correct answer is Market Economy.

Explanation:

The market economy is an economic system where the fundamental decisions of what, how and for whom to produce are resolved through the market.

In a market economy, the interaction of supply and demand is what determines the quantity and equilibrium price of goods and services traded. Also, the market is responsible for the distribution of income through the possession of productive factors (capital, labor, etc.)

The State, for its part, would have the role of providing a legal framework that allows free competition and initiative of companies. This includes the protection of property rights, the intermediation of conflicts (Courts) and the subsidiary action in those cases in which competition is not feasible or limited.

Basing a system on the market economy gives importance to the balances originated between suppliers and claimants, which will determine their allocations of goods and services to produce and consume, with a high degree of independence of powers or institutions.

Last year, Cayman Corporation had sales of $7,000,000, total variable costs of $3,000,000, and total fixed costs of $1,500,000.
UNO [17]

Answer:

b. 13.9%

Explanation:

sales                   7,000,000

variable cost   <u>  (3,000,000)  </u>

contribution       4,000,000

fixed cost           (1,500,000)

interest              <u>   (480,000)  </u>

EBT                     2,020,000

tax expense          (707,000)

net income           1,313,000

contribution margin 4,000,000 / 7,000,000 = 4/7

if sales increase by 7%:

7,000,000 x 0.07 x 4/7 x (1- 0.35) = 182,000

income after increase in sales: 1,313,000 + 182,000 = 1,495,000

increase in earnings: 1,495,000 / 1,313,000 - 1 = 0.138613861 = 13.9%

Suppose that a 5-year Treasury bond pays an annual rate of return of 2.9%, and a 5-year bond of the fictional company Risky Inve
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The risk premium is 4.4%

Explanation:

The risk premium on any given investment is the difference between the risky investment and the risk free investment and in this case we know treasury bonds are risk free and offer a certain return of coupons because they come from governments rather than the fictional ones like the one from risky investment inc so to find the risk premium we say :

Risk Premium = Risky investment rate - Risk free investment Rate

                       = 7.3% - 2.9%

                      = 4.4%

The financial statements of Weston Office Supply include the following​ items:20172016Cash​ $43,500​ $50,000Shortminus−term Inve
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

=  $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.
