Answer:
False
Explanation:
Retained earnings have no flotation costs, but have opportunity costs. For example, if companies distribute the earnings to shareholders, shareholders can invest the funds in alternative sources for returns.
Answer: ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)
16 = 13(1-WY) + 9(WY)
16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY
16 = 13 - 4WY
4WY = 13-16
4WY = -3
WY = -3/4
WY = -0.75
WX = 1 - WY
WX = 1 - (-0.75)
WX = 1 + 0.75
WX = 1.75
The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000
= -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:
BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)
BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)
BP = 1.995 - 0.63
BP = 1.365
Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.
Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
The effficent market hypothesis is an investment theory which advocates that the stock prices reflect all the available information. As a result, stocks are always traded at their fair value.
The strong form of efficient market says that stock prices reflect all information whether public or private.
This implies that investors cannot have more than normal profits. In the above example, the investors are able to make profit through insider information. This means that the market is less than strong form efficient.
Answer:
d. Cash will be debited for $210,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry for the issue of shares is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $210,000
To common stock (5,000 shares × $5) = $25,000
To Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $185,000
(Being issue of shares recorded)
So, the cash account is debited whereas the common stock and paid-in capital should be credited
And, the remaining balance should be transferred to the Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value
Answer:
A) Q=17
B) $80
C) 518
Explanation:
C(Q) = 60 + 12Q + 2Q2
and its MC = 12+ 4Q
a.How much output should the firm produce in the short run?
Put P = MC and solve for Q
P＝MC
80=12+4Q
4Q=68
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
Q=17
b.What price should the firm charge in the short-run? $80
c.What are the firm’s short-run profits?
Hint:
Profit=Total Revenue-Total CostTotal Revenue=$80x17=1360
TotalCost=60+12x17+2(17)2=60+204+578=842
Profit=1360-842=518
