Answer:

D: declining marginal benefit

Explanation:

Declining benefits is a concept explained in the theory of diminishing marginal returns.  As per this theory, additional deployment of an input while holding the other factors constant will lead to negative returns.  

The term marginal refers to one more additional input or output. Marginal returns is the additional gain resulting from the sale or production of an extra unit. A firm enjoys positive marginal returns until production gets to its capacity level. Further input after this level results in decreasing gains.

This company opts not to purchase more inputs because it has reached its optimal level. Additional inputs will lead to reduced returns and, eventually, losses.

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Multiply  Direct labor hour per unit 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25

Total Direct labor hour required 2675 2425 2925 3175 11200

Multiply  Direct labor rate per hour $14 $14 $14 $14 $14

Estimated Direct labor cost $37,450 $33,950 $40,950 $44,450 $156,800

b.  The total estimated manufacturing cost and the cash disbursement is shown below:

Particulars 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Year

Units to be produced 10,700 9,700 11,700 12,700 44,800

Direct labor hour per unit 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25

Multiply Total Direct labor hour required 2675 2425 2925 3175 11200

Variable manufacturing overhead rate $2 $2 $2 $2 $2

Estimated Variable manufacturing overhead cost $5,350 $4,850 $5,850 $6,350 $22,400

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead $67,000 $67,000 $67,000 $67,000 $268,000

Total estimated manufacturing overhead $72,350 $71,850 $72,850 $73,350 $290,400

Less: depreciation $16,000 $16,000 $16,000 $16,000 $64,000

Cash disbursement for manufacturing overhead $56,350 $55,850 $56,850 $57,350 $226,400

We simply applied the above format to find out the manufacturing overhead, cash disbursement, and the direct labor cost

Pop Consulting leased machinery to Red Inc. on July 1, 2018. The lease was recorded as a sales type lease. The present value of
labwork [276]

Answer:

The increase in earnings is $136511.56

Explanation:

Since the lease is a sale type of lease,it means that as soon as the machinery is delivered to the lessee,profit should be recognized on the lease transaction,which is computed below:

Profit on lease=present value of lease payments-costs

                         =$274149-$156000

                          =$118149

However,every six months interest is charged on the lease,which clearly indicates another source of earnings,the interest in the first six months is given below:

Interest=($274149-$44617)*8%

             =$18362.56

Please note that interest is charged after lease payment as lease payment is made in advance not in arrears.

Conclusively, the increase in earnings is $118149+$18362.56

That is $136511.56
