Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be? C. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%.

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

mezya [45]

Answer:

A. $1,280,600

B. $1,280,600

Explanation:

A. Preparation of an absorption costing income statement.

Tudor Manufacturing Co.

Absorption Costing Income Statement

For the Month Ended June 30, 2014

Sales (420,000 units) $7,450,000

Cost of goods manufactured $7,160,000

(500,000 units x $14.32 per unit)

($160,000 / 500,000 units = $0.32 per unit)

($14 per unit + $0.32 per unit = $14.32 per unit)

Less ending inventory $1,145,600

(80,000 units x $14.32 per unit)

Cost of goods sold $6,014,400

Gross profit $1,435,600

($7,450,000 - $6,014,400)

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling and administrative expenses $80,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses $75,000 $155,000

Income from operations $1,280,600

($1,435,600 - $155,000)

Therefore the absorption costing income statement will be $1,280,600

B.Calculation to Reconcile the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a)

First step is to calculate ending inventory difference

Ending inventory difference = $1,145,600 - $1,120,000

Ending inventory difference = $25,600

Now let Reconcile the variable costing income from operations

Reconciliation of Variable Costing and Absorption Costing Incomes from Operations

Variable costing income from operations $1,255,000

Add: Difference between absorption costing and variable costing ending inventories $25,600

Absorption costing income from operations $1,280,600

($1,255,000+$25,600)

Therefore the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a) will be $1,280,600

Explanation:

Preparation of the journal entry to determine which of the following account balances are correct after adjusting entries have been made

First step is to calculate the amount the company pay per month

Amount pay per month=$4,200/24 months

Amount pay per month = $175 per month

Last step

Since Three months have been used which are October, November, and December which means that $175 per month × 3 months = $525 which will be recorded as INSURANCE EXPENSE while the balance in PREPAID INSURANCE will be $4,200 - $525 = $3,675

Penny's candies is showing a p/e ratio of 1.32, while donna's confections has a p/e ratio of 6.7. what is the general mood of in
Whitepunk [10]

Investors at Penny's candies have low expectations from the company since it has a very low P/E ratio. Either the company is not performing well or investors have discounted some bad news in future cash flows.

Whereas Donna's confections has a P/E of 6.7 which is much better than that of Penny's. So here the company is performing well and investors are positive on future good news and they expect the cash flows to improve and hence the stock rules at a higher P/E ratio
