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

The Behavior Analyst goes to the individual's residence to conduct a behavior
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Ideally, the Behavior Analyst should leave the business card, the name of the individual to be served, and the name of the service that will be provided. In this case, option B is the correct answer.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The Behavior Analyst needs to show that he tried to contact the customer and show that he is interested in contacting him again.
  • For this reason, he shows that the customer can get in touch with him, leaving the business card, with the contact forms.
  • To make this contact more professional and thus increase the credibility of the service, the Behavior Analyst leaves the name of the person to be served and the service that will be provided.

This type of behavior shows commitment to customer service, which gives the Behavior Analyst credibility and increases the chances of a contract.

Exercise 5-66 Bad Debt Expense: Percentage of Credit Sales Method Gilmore Electronics had the following data for a recent year:
Stels [109]

Answer:  Debit Bad debt expense $11,264, Credit Allowance for bad debt $11,264; Debit Allowance for bad debt $9,650, Credit Accounts receivable $9,650.

Explanation: Percentage of credit sales method means bad debt expense expressed as a percentage of sales.

The estimated bad debts rate is 2.2%, which translates to 2.2% of $512,000 (credit sales) = $11,264. The firm has to record this, being the estimated bad debts rate, as Debit to bad debt expense and Credit to allowance for bad debt. However, accounts receivable that was deemed uncollectible is $9,650. This amount would be taken out from the buffer in allowance account by debiting allowance for bad debt and crediting accounts receivable.
