Answer:

The required rate of return on new portfolio is 8.83%. So, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To use the CAPM approach to calculate the new required rate of return, we first need to determine the beta for the new portfolio.

Portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The weightage is assigned based on the investment in the stocks as a proportion of the total investment.

Total investment in new portfolio = 10 + 5 = 15 million

New portfolio beta = 10/15 * 1.05 + 5/15 * 0.65  

New portfolio beta = 0.9167

We need to calculate the market risk premium, using the old required rate of return, to use in CAPM.

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

0.095 = 0.042 + 1.05 * rpM

0.095 -0.042 = 1.05rpM

(0.053) / 1.05 = rpM

rpM = 0.05047 or 5.047% rounded off to 5.05%

The new required rate of return using CAPM,

r = 0.042 + 0.9167 * 0.0505

r = 0.08829 or 8.829% rounded off to 8.83%

Elanso [62]

Answer:

 Break-even sales         =  $800,000.

Explanation:

<em>The beak-even point is the units of products to be sold or number of customers to be served to enable a business to cover exactly its total cost from the revenue. At the break-even point, the business makes no profit or no loss because the contribution from sales exactly equals the total fixed cost</em>

<em>Break-even in sales revenue = Total fixed cost/Contribution margin</em>

<em>Contribution margin (%) = Contribution/ sales ×  100</em>

                                        = 160,000/640,000

                                        = 0.25 ×  100

                                        = 25%

<em>Fixed cost =   Contribution -   operating income</em>

                                    = 160,000- -( 40,000)

                             = 160,000 + 40,000

                             = 200,000

<em>Break-even point sales = 200,000/25%</em>

                                       =  $800,000.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$-2.38 million

$1.40 million

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Project 1

cash flow in year 1 = 9 million

cash flow in year 2 = 5 million

i = 8%

pv = 12.6

12.6 - 15 = -2.38

Project 2

cash flow in year 1 = 10 million

cash flow in year 2 = 6 million

i = 8%

pv = 14.40

14,40 - 13 = 1.40

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$30,000

$20,000

$10,000

Explanation:

Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans

Reserves = Deposits - outstanding loans

$100,000 - $70,000 = $30,000

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

0.2 x $100,000 = $20,000

Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves

$30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000
