Identify and briefly discuss three criticisms of beta as used in the capital asset pricing model

1 answer:

5 0

The main issues concerning beta in a capital asset pricing model involve the lack of expertise that often accompanies the beta. Even with experience and standing in the industry, beta can still be wildly off-place even from the most respected of sources. Another big concern is that most beta uses an incomplete data set to assess a pricing model. Simulations are often a better way to collect accurate estimates.

Which of the following accounts are closed at the end of the year?A. accounts receivableB. retained earningsC. salaries expenseD

yarga [219]

Answer:

C. salaries expense

D. service revenue

Explanation:

All temporary accounts need to be closed off at the end of the year. Temporary accounts are accounts that both begin and end the period with a $0 balance so that they do not get mixed up with figures from the next period.

Items in the income statement such as revenue and expenses are closed at year end and will form part of the Retained earnings account as they would have been accounted for in the net income.

Salaries expense and service revenue will therefore be closed at the end of the year.

The Net Present Value (NPV) of this project is $93,405.59.

Explanation:

Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation of the NPV of this project.

Net present value (NPV) refers to the present value of cash inflows minus the present value of cash outflows over a specified period of time.

On its own, present value (PV) refers the value that a future sum of money or stream of cash flows has now or currently given a specified rate of return. The formula for calculating the PV is given as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

Where,

FV = Future value

r = discount rate. This is given as 10% in this question

n = Relevant period, e.g. year

The above explanation and formula together with other stated formulae in the attached excel file is used in calculating the NPV of this project.

joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. One, what goods and services will be produced? Two, how will the goods and services be produced? Three, who will receive the goods and services produced?

Explanation:

There are two questions in particular that summarize the reason for the economy:

• How do elections determine what, how and for whom goods and services are produced?

• At what point are choices made in pursuit of personal interest promoting social interest?

What, how and for whom?

Goods and services are the objects that people value and produce to meet their needs.

What? It determines the goods and services that are produced as well as the amount that is produced from each good and service.

How? Goods and services are produced using what economists call production factors.

The factors of production are the resources that companies use to produce goods and services. These factors fall into four categories:

• Earth

• Job

• Capital

vichka [17]

Answer:

Part 1. total contribution margin in dollars

Total Contribution Margin = $37,800

Part 2. per unit contribution margin

contribution margin per unit of sell = $ 60

Part 3. contribution margin ratio

contribution margin ratio = 50 %

Part 4. break-even point in dollars

break-even point in dollars = $ 52,320

Part 5. break-even point in units

break-even point in units = 436 clients

Explanation:

Part 1. total contribution margin in dollars

contribution margin per unit of sell = Sales Price × 50%

= $120 × 50%

= $ 60

Total Contribution Margin = Number of Clients × Contribution Margin per unit

= 630 × $60

= $37,800

Part 2. per unit contribution margin

contribution margin per unit of sell = Sales Price × 50%

= $120 × 50%

= $ 60

Part 3. contribution margin ratio

contribution margin ratio = Contribution / Sales

= $ 60/ $ 120

= 50 %

Part 4. break-even point in dollars

break-even point in dollars = Fixed Costs / contribution margin ratio

= $26,160 / 0.50

= $ 52,320

Part 5. break-even point in units

break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / contribution per unit

= $26,160 / $60

= 436 clients
