Answer:

portfolio's standard deviation = 6.18%

Explanation:

we must first determine the expected returns for each stock:

stock A = (0.15 x 31%) + (0.6 x 16%) + (0.2 x -3%) + (0.05 x -11%) = 13.1%

stock B = (0.15 x 41%) + (0.6 x 12%) + (0.2 x -6%) + (0.05 x -16%) = 11.35%

stock C = (0.15 x 21%) + (0.6 x 10%) + (0.2 x -4%) + (0.05 x -8%) = 7.95%

then we must determine the variance of each stock's return:

stock A = {[0.15 x (31 - 13.1)²] + [0.6 x (16 - 13.1)²] + [0.2 x (-3- 13.1)²] + [0.05 x (-11 - 13.1)²]} / 4 = (48.0615 + 5.046 + 51.842 + 29.0405) / 4 = 33.4975

stock B = {[0.15 x (41 - 11.35)²] + [0.6 x (12 - 11.35)²] + [0.2 x (-6- 11.35)²] + [0.05 x (-16 - 11.35)²]} / 4 = (131.868375 + 0.2535 + 60.2045 + 37.401125) / 4 = 57.4219

stock C = {[0.15 x (21 - 7.95)²] + [0.6 x (10 - 7.95)²] + [0.2 x (-4- 7.95)²] + [0.05 x (-8 - 7.95)²]} / 4 = (25.545375 + 2.5215 + 28.5605 + 12.720125) / 4 = 17.3369

portfolio's variance = (0.3 x 33.4975) + (0.4 x 57.4219) + (0.3 x 17.3369) = 38.21908

portfolio's standard deviation = √38.21908 = 6.18%

Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a
Luden [163]

Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars          Firm HD                             Firm LD

Assets $200      Debt ratio 50%            Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40            Interest rate 12%          Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt                            $100                              $60

Interest                        $12                                  $6

                          ($100 × 12%)                       ($60 × 10%)      

Taxable income         $28                                 $36

                               ($40- $12)                          ($40 - $6)

Net income                $18.2                                $22.1

                       $28 × (1 - 0.35)                     $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity                          $100                                $140

                              ($200 - $100)                   ($200 - $60)

ROE                              18.2%                               15.79%

                           ($18.2 ÷ $100)                   ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

Marin Company's accounts receivable arising from sales to customers amounted to $131000 and $114000 at the beginning and end of
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

$481,000

Explanation:

To determine the cash flows from operating activities, the net Income for the year must be adjusted by non - cash items and changes in working capital items.

Therefore, given a decrease in Accounts Receivable $17,000 ($131000 - $114000) . Then the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is $481,000 ($498000 - $17,000) .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Option C Credit to Unearned Management Fees for $62,000

Explanation:

The reason is that the unearned managment fees are liabilities and so are credit in nature just like other liabilities. It is also the requirement of accrual accounting system that says the revenue and expenses must only be recorded when they are realized. Which means the revenue share for example which is $1000 must be recorded as revenue when we will deliver our customers services of one month. It doesn't matter if the revenue amount is not received in cash. So delivering your share is compulsory here to recognize sales or services.
