Answer:

The expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%.

Explanation:

The expected rate of return on the market portfolio can be calculated using the following capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula:

Er = Rf + B[E(Rm) - Rf] ...................... (1)

Where:

Er = Expected rate of return on the market portfolio = ?

Rf = Risk-free rate = 5%

B = Beta = 1

E(Rm) = Market expected rate of return = 14%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Er = 5 + 1[14 - 5]

Er = 5 + 1[9]

Er = 5 + 9

Er = 14%

Therefore, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%.

Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sel
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$28,483.4

Explanation:

The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;

Asset cost       $43,800

MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32

                     8760 14016

So total depreciation is

= $8,760 + $14,016

= $22,776

Now  

Book Value of the company is

= oriignal value - depreication

= $43,800 - $22,776

= $21,024

And,  

Sale price = 32500

So,  

Gain is

= $32,500 - $21,024

= $11,476

So,  

Tax = 0.35% of 11476

= $4,016

And, finally  

Net cashflows is

= Sale price - tax

= $28,483.4

If the Dow Jones Industrial Average is 3.2% down that means that: Question 10 options: The stocks of all the companies in Dow Jo
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

b). The average value of the 30 blue-chip stocks is down by 3.2%.  

Explanation:

'Dow Jones Industrial Average' also known as 'DJIA' is characterized as the standard indicator to denote the stock-market prices of the shares of the major companies associated with blue-chip in the United States.

As per the question, a down or fall in DJIA by 3.2% would indicate that the stock prices of the companies trading with 'blue-chip' have faced a reduction in their share prices by 3.2% for that day. So, this allows the investors to keep a check on the stock prices and invest accordingly whenever they find it profitable. Thus, <u>option b</u> is the correct answer as the other options fail to convey this idea rather they either talk about the loss of value instead of decrease(in options a and c) or disassociates the entire concept with the stock market(in option d).

During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $14,000 for direct materials and $19,000 for production workers' wag
hjlf

Answer:

GROSS MARGIN = 33.33%

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

  • Direct materials 14,000  
  • Direct work 19,000  
  • Lease and utilities 17,000

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 50,000

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 5,000

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 50,000 / 5,000 = 10  

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 5,000 – 3,000 = 2,000

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,000 * 10 = 20,000

SALES REVENUE= (Sold Units * Sale Price) = (3,000 * 15) = 45,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) = (Sold Units * Unit Cost) = 3,000 * 10 = 30,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) = (Beginning Balance + Production cost – Final Balance) = 0 + 50,000 – 20,000 = 30,000

GROSS MARGIN = ((Sales Revenue – Cost of sold Goods) / Sales Revenues) * 100 = ((45,000 – 30,000) / 45,000) * 100 = 33.33%

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) Calculated according to the inventory unit cost

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) Calculated as the difference in inventory
