Answer:

First In, First Out (FIFO).

Explanation:

FIFO is an acronym for "First In, First Out" and it assumes oldest unit of inventory is sold first, meaning goods that were first added to inventory are the first goods removed from inventory for sale and are recorded as sold first.

FIFO can be defined as an accounting methods used in managing costs related to inventory, stock repurchases at different times and financial activities associated with monetary costs a company had tied up within inventory of feedstocks, raw materials, produced goods, and equipment parts.

Simply stated, FIFO is an accounting methods used for the valuation of the cost of goods sold and ending inventory of a company.

In a period of rising prices, the inventory method which tends to give the highest cost of goods sold value is First In, First Out (FIFO). This is because the more recent costs represent the higher (rising) net income and a higher (rising) inventory valuation costs.

Clem Oatley could grow wheat and barley. He could grow 75 bushels of wheat or 125 bushels of barley using the same resources on

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Clem should specialise in wheat production because he has higher profits there

Explanation:

Clem needs to make a decision on the product that will maximise his profits and not just the number of units of products he can manufacture.

If he produces only wheat he will have profit of 75 bushels * $2 = $150

If he produces only barley his profit will be 125 bushels * $0.80 = $100

This shows that wheat is more profitable for Clem. Even though he can produce more units of barley.

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

A stock sells for $6.99 on December 31, providing the seller with a 6% annual return. What was the price of the stock at the beg

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Correct option is 6.59

Explanation:

Selling price of stock at the end of the year is $6.99. Annual return rate is 6%. Price of stock at the beginning will be present value of stock valued at the end discounted at 6%. Computation is as shown below:

$Present\ value\ or\ price\ of\ stock = Selling\ price\left ( \frac{1}{1+i} \right )^{n}$

$= 6.99\left ( \frac{1}{1+0.06} \right )^{1}$

$= \frac{6.99}{1.06}$

= $6.59

Therefore, Stock's price in the beginning of the year is $6.59.
