Answer:

(A) The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio is $194,690.

(B) The expected rate of return is 13%.

(C) The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio is $181,818.

Explanation:

A. If you require a risk premium of 7%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?

The amount you be willing to pay for the portfolio can be calculated using the following formula:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = Expected cash flow / (1 + Required rate of return) ................... (1)

Where;

Expected cash flow = ($150,000 * 0.5) + ($290,000 * 0.5) = $220,000

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 6% + 7% = 13%, or 0.13

Therefore, we have:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = $220,000 / (1 + 0.13) = $220,000 / 1.13 = $194,690

B. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?

The expected rate of return (E(r)) can be calculated using the following formula:

Amount to be paid for the portfolio * [1 + E(r)] = Expected cash flow

Therefore, we have:

$194,690 * [1 + E(r)] = $220,000

$194,690 + ($194,690 * E(r)) = $220,000

$194,690 * E(r) = $220,000 - $194,690

$194,690 * E(r) = $25,310

E(r) = $25,310 / $194,690 = 0.13, or 13%

Therefore, the expected rate of return is 13%.

C. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 6% + 15% = 21%, or 0.21

Using equation (1) in part A, we have:

The price you will be willing to pay for the portfolio = $220,000 / (1 + 0.21) = $220,000 / (1.21) = $181,818

McDonald’s requires $750,000 in cash or liquid assets, a $45,000 initial fee, plus a monthly service fee based on the restaurant’s sales performance and rent.

Explanation:

According to McDonald's, total project expenditures, including construction costs and upgrades, vary from $1 million to $2.2 million. The number is determined by the restaurant geography and scale and the preference of kitchen equipment, branding, design style and landscaping.

McDonald's charges a franchisee premium of $45,000 and a monthly service rate equivalent to 4% of gross sales. Franchisees also have to pay rent, a proportion of the monthly sales to the client.

The International Union of Service Employees estimates that franchisees pay an average of 10.7% of revenue in rental costs.

The startup costs for McDonald's franchisee are like those of KFC, Wendy and Taco Bell.

Accounts receivable will be recognized at closing rate.

Accounts receivable = FC 30,000 * 0.7

Accounts receivable = $21,000

Inventory = FC 20,000 * 0.6

Inventory = $12,000

Fixed assets = FC 10,000 * 0.6

Fixed assets = $6,000

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Assets= 15,000

Liabilities= 10,000

Owner's equity= 5,000

Explanation:

When he invests 5,000 of his own money that 5,000 is an asset as it is cash and the 10,000 he borrows is also an asset as it is cash. The liabilities are 10,000 as he has to pay 10,000 back and it is a loan so it is a liability also.

The owners equity is 5,000 as he invested 5,000 of his own money in the business and that is owners equity.
