You own a portfolio equally invested in a Rf asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.85 and the total portfol

12345 [234]

Answer:

1.15

Explanation:

If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;

weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333

Let the stocks be A and B

weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333

weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333

Beta of A; bA = 1.85

Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"

Beta of risk free; bRF = 0

Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "

The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;

wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF

1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)

1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0

1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB

0.3834 = 0.3333bB

Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;

bB = 0.3834/0.3333

w=bB = 1.15

Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15

Answer:

A court will most likely;

1. Allows the parties to rescind the contract.

Explanation:

The contract includes all the costs of insuring and shipping the painting from France to New York.

Since, the agent that made the shipping estimate makes a mistake when adding up the costs and, as a result, the shipping cost listed in the contract is $1,000 less than the actual shipping costs. A court will most likely allow the parties to rescind the contract because a part of the contract agreement has been breached in error.

Goodwill is $25,000

b. See the journal entries in the explanation below.

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Capital Reserve is $4,000

Explanation:

Note: There are mistakes the names of the companies in the requirements a anb b. These correctly restated before answering the question by as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $291,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $262,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry.

2. Record the excess value (differential) reclassification entry.

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

Accounts Dr ($) Cr ($)

Common Stock 91,000

Retained Earnings (w.1) 175,000

Goodwill (w.2) 25,000

Investment in Scrub Company 291,000

(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.

The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.

When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.
