Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $50,000 or $150,000, with equal probabilities of 0.5. The alternative riskless investment in T-bills pays 5%. (a) If you require a risk premium of 10%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio? (b) Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be? (c) Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now? (d) Comparing your answers to (a) and (c), what do you conclude about the relationship between the required risk premium on a portfolio and the price at which the portfolio will sell?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the following :
Risk free return (risk less investment) = 5%
Cashflow derived from portfolio = $50,000 or $150,000 each at a probability of 0.5
(a) If you require a risk premium of 10%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Risk premium = 10%
Required return on portfolio = risk premium + risk free return = (10% + 5%) = 15%
Expected value of cashflow:
(0.5 × $50,000) + (0.5 × $150,000)
$25,000 + $75,000 = $100,000
Value of portfolio = Amount paid(a) × (1 + required return)
100,000 = a( 1 + 0.15)
100,000 = 1.15a
a = (100,000 / 1.15)
a = 86956.521
a = $86,956.5
B) If amount paid for portfolio = $86,956.5
Expected rate of return :
(Expected value - amount paid) / amount paid
= ($100,000 - $86,956.5) / $100,000
= $13043.5 / $100,000
= 0.130435 = 13.04%
C.) Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?
Risk premium = 15%
Required return on portfolio = risk premium + risk free return = (15% + 5%) = 20%
Value of portfolio = Amount paid(a) × (1 + required return)
100,000 = a( 1 + 0.20)
100,000 = 1.20a
a = (100,000 / 1.20)
a = 83333.333
a = $83,333.3
D.)
At a required risk premium of 10%, portfolio will sell at $86,956.5
At a required risk premium of 15%, portfolio will sell at $83,333.3
Hence, the price at which a portfolio will sell decreases as risk premium increases.
On May 31, 2018, the Arlene Corporation adopted a plan to sell its cosmetics line of business, considered a component of the entity. The assets of the component were sold on October 13, 2018, for $1,120,000. The component generated operating income from January 1, 2018, through disposal of $300,000. In its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2018, the company reported before-tax income from operations of a discontinued component of $620,000. What was the book value of the assets of the cosmetics component
Answer:
$800,000
Explanation:
The calculation of book value of the assets of the cosmetics component is given below:-
Gain on Sale of the Assets = Income from Operation of a Discontinued Components - Income from Operations
= $620,000 - $300,000
= $320,000
Gain/Loss on Sale of Asset = Sale Value of Assets - Book Value of Assets
= $1,120,000 - $320,000
= $800,000
Robert wants to get serious about saving for a new car. Which account would you recommend? Why?
Cindy has been working for 8 years, and she’s built up a huge emergency fund -- $45,000, which would be 6 months of her salary. She’s hoping to earn a bit more interest than she currently is with that $45,000 just sitting in her traditional bank’s savings account. Which account would you recommend? Why?
Janelle likes to keep all her savings goals separate, so she has an account for each one, including an account to save for her college textbooks every semester. She buys books about every 6 months, with roughly $550 due each time. She likes to save the money up in installments, with auto-deposits from each of her twice monthly paychecks. She’s wondering if her online savings account, earning 0.75%, is still her best option for monthly deposits toward her textbooks. Which account would you recommend? Why?
Answer:
1) Money Market Savings Account
2) Online Savings Account
Explanation:
1) Money market accounts which are also known as money market savings or deposit accounts, are accounts that may give interest on a tier bases and may also give waivers on due fees if a customer is able to maintain a particular balance per month
Money market accounts are accounts that is better adapted for a customer that is able to maintain a substantial balance in their bank accounts and would like to be offered a higher interest than that which is given by a basic savings account
2) For Janelle, given that her savings duration are for a period of t months and the amount save is $550, the savings account with a high combined interest rate and flexibility is the online savings account, and given that her current online savings account earns 0.75%, which is high compared to average interest rate of online savings account, her online savings account is still her best option.

Reese's use of illegal drugs limits her ability to walk properly. The elevator at her office was not working for many months, so Reese needed to climb two flights of stairs and had difficulty getting to her desk. She tried suing her company under the Americans with Disabilities Act, arguing that her company discriminates against individuals who cannot perform major life activities. Which of the following would weaken Reese's argument?
A) Reese is not a senior employee.B) The ADA prohibits discrimination only against workers who are over the age of 40.C) The ADA does not cover conditions of substance abuse.D) Reese is not pregnant.E) The ADA applies only to the decisions or actions of the government.
The correct answer is C) The ADA does not cover conditions of substance abuse.
Explanation:
The purpose of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is to protect people with disabilities from abuses or discrimination. This includes the protection against discrimination at work in factors such as working conditions, hiring processes, etc. Additionally, this act protects almost all disabilities except by those related to conditions such as substance abuse or addictions. In this context, the ADA would not protect Reese because her disability is related to substance abuse, and therefore, this would weaken her argument.

anson Corporation Co.'s trial balance included the following account balances at December 31, 2021: Accounts receivable $13,800 Inventory 42,000 Patent 12,200 Investments 30,700 Prepaid insurance 7,700 Notes receivable, due 2024 51,800 Investments consist of treasury bills that were purchased in November, 2021, and mature in January, 2022. Prepaid insurance is for two years. What amount should be included in the current assets section of Janson’s December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Answer:
$90,350
Explanation:
Accounts receivable $13,800 ⇒ current assets
Inventory 42,000 ⇒ current assets since the company expects to sell them in less than a year
Patent 12,200 ⇒ intangible non-current asset
Investments 30,700 ⇒ current asset since they mature in less than one month
Prepaid insurance 7,700 ⇒ only half of it is considered a current asset since it covers a 2 year period
Notes receivable, due 2024 51,800 ⇒ non-current asset
total current assets = $13,800 + $42,000 + $30,700 + ($7,700/2) = $90,350
TB MC Qu. 14-128 (Algo) On June 30, 2021, K Co. had outstanding... On June 30, 2021, K Co. had outstanding 9%, $15,000,000 face value bonds maturing on June 30, 2026. Interest is payable semiannually every June 30 and December 31. On June 30, 2021, after amortization was recorded for the period, the unamortized bond premium was $65,000. On that date, K acquired all its outstanding bonds on the open market at 99 and retired them. At June 30, 2021, what amount should K Co. recognize as gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes
Answer:
$215,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that K Co. Should recognize as gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes
First step is to find book value of bonds at June 30, 2021
Book value of bonds= ($15,000,000 + $65,000)
Book value of bonds=$15,065,000
Second step is to find the amount of gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes
Gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes=$15,065,000-( 99% × $15,000,000)
Gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes=$15,065,000-$14,850,000
Gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes=$215,000
Therefore the amount that K Co. Should recognize as gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes will be $215,000

Kit Company borrows $5 million at 12% on January 1, 2016, specifically for the purpose of financing the construction of a building that is expected to take 18 months to complete. Kit invests the total amount at 11% until it makes payments for the construction project. During the first year of construction, Kit incurs the following expenditures related to this construction project:
January 1 $1,000,000
April 1 1,600,000
October 1 1,200,000
December 31 500,000
Required:
1. Compute the amount of interest expense Kit would capitalize related to the construction of the building.$
2. Compute the amount of interest revenue Kit would recognize.$
3. Assume that Kit uses IFRS. What amount of interest would be capitalized related to the construction of the building?$
Answer:
1. The amount of interest expense Kit would capitalize related to the construction of the building is $300,000.
2. The amount of interest revenue Kit would recognize is $275,000.
3. The amount of interest revenue Kit would capitalized as per IFRS (IAS 23) is $25,000.
Explanation:
1. Compute the amount of interest expense Kit would capitalize related to the construction of the building.$
Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the calculation of average expenses incurred for the building
Average expenses incurred for the building = $2,500,000
Interest rate = 12%
Interest expense to capitalize = $2,500,000 * 12% = $300,000
Therefore, the amount of interest expense Kit would capitalize related to the construction of the building is $300,000.
2. Compute the amount of interest revenue Kit would recognize.$
Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculation of the total interest revenue.
Amount of interest revenue = $275,000
Therefore, the amount of interest revenue Kit would recognize is $275,000.
3. Assume that Kit uses IFRS. What amount of interest would be capitalized related to the construction of the building?$
The IAS 23 Clause 12 states that to the extent that an entity borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the entity shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.
Based on the above, the amount of interest that would be capitalized related to the construction of the building can be calculated as follows:
Amount of interest revenue to capitalized as per IFRS = Interest expense to capitalize - Total interest income = $3000,000 - $275,000 = $25,000
Therefore, the amount of interest revenue Kit would capitalized as per IFRS (IAS 23) is $25,000.
Presented below is financial information for two different companies.
Compute the missing amounts.
Windsor Company Sheridan Company
Sales revenue 96,570
Sales returns and allowances 5,420
Net sales 81,960 94,350
Cost of goods sold 55,730
Gross profit 40,900
Operating expenses 15,070 21,380
Net income 19,520
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of missing amounts is shown below:-
a. Net Sales = Sales revenue - Sales returns and allowances
$81,960 = $96,570 - Sales returns and allowances
Sales returns and allowances = $96,570 - $81,960
= $14,610
b. Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
= $81,960 - $55,730
= $26,230
c. Net income = Gross Profit - Operating expenses
= $26,230 - $15,070
= $11,160
d. Sales revenue = Net sales + Sales returns and allowances
= $94,350 + $5,420
= $99,770
e. Cost of goods sold = Net sales - Gross Profit
= $94,350 - $40,900
= $53,450

Frank Dewey Esquire from the firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe, has been offered an upfront retainer of $30,000 to provide legal services over the next 12 months to Taggart Transcontinental. In return for this upfront payment, Taggart Transcontinental would have access to 8 hours of legal services from Frank for each of the next 12 months. Frank's normal billable rate is $250 per hour for legal services. Assuming that Dewey's cost of capital is 12% EAR, then the IRR of his retainer offer is closest to:
Answer:
-39.3%
Explanation:
Calculation for the IRR of his retainer offer
First step is to find Opportunity Cost
Opportunity Cost= 8 hours × $250 per hour
Opportunity Cost = $2,000
Since we have known the monthly Opportunity Cost the second step will be to compute IRR
Present Value= $30,000
N = 12
PMT = -2,000
FV = 0
Now let compute the IRR
IRR= -3.276502% × 12
IRR= -39.3180% Approximately - 39.3%
Therefore the IRR of his retainer offer is closest to: - 39.3%

Entering foreign markets requires an analysis that examines each of the five major global entry strategies and their associated risks and rewards. It is important as a marketer that you understand the level of risk involved in each and also be able to identify which strategy firms are currently using.Firms looking to expand globally must address how they plan to enter international markets. Once a company has developed a marketing plan that involves global expansion, they have five major strategic options for how to enter the global marketplace: exporting, licensing, franchising, joint venture, and direct investment. Exporting is selling domestically produced products to foreign markets. Licensing is a legal process in which one firm pays to use or distribute another firm's resources. Franchising is a contractual arrangement in which the franchisor provides a franchisee the right to use its name and marketing and operational support in exchange for a fee and, typically, a share of the profits. In a joint venture, a domestic firm partners with a foreign company to create a new entity. Direct ownership requires a domestic firm to actively manage a foreign company or overseas facilities.Place the entry strategies (along with examples of each) in the correct order from least risky to most risky.Licensing - A legal process in which one firm pays to use or distribute another firm’s resources, including products, trademarks, patents, intellectual property, or other proprietary knowledge.KFC shares recipes and distribution information for 5 new KFC restaurants owned by local Saudi Arabian investors. Memphis Grizzlies gives logo and artwork to a Japanese company to sell Grizzlies' shirts locally.Exporting - Selling domestically produced products to foreign markets.Laske farms sells oranges and peaches grown in Florida to stores in Mexico. GM builds cars in U.S. and sells them to European buyers.Direct ownership - A method of entering an international market in which a domestic firm actively manages a foreign company or overseas facilities. Wendy's opens 29 new company-owned stores in Canada to test a new Frosty flavor. Wal-Mart builds 7 company-owned stores in China.Franchising - A contractual arrangement in which the franchisor provides a franchisee the right to use its name and marketing and operational support in exchange for a fee and, typically, a share of the profits. Subway provides a business owner in Vietnam the knowledge and information to run a Subway for a fee.Taylor Gas Stations allows an owner-operator in Chile the right to use its name and provides support as to how to best run the business.Joint venture - An arrangement in which a domestic firm partners with a foreign company to create a new entity, thus allowing the domestic firm to enter the foreign company’s market.Starbucks partners with a Russian coffee company to open a new chain of coffee shops in Moscow.NBC and Univision start a Latin American television network.
When entering a foreign market, there are several methods one can use and these methods and their examples are shown below in order of riskiness with the first being the most risky.

The difference between a budget and a standard is that standards are excluded from the cost accounting system, whereas budgets are generally incorporated into the cost accounting system. a budget expresses management's plans, while a standard reflects what actually happened. a budget expresses what costs were, while a standard expresses what costs should be. a budget expresses a total amount, while a standard expresses a unit amount.
Answer:
The correct answer is the last option: a budget expresses a total amount, while a standard expresses a unit amount.
Explanation:
On the one hand, a budget is the name given, in the business field to an estimation done by the managers of the company that shows how much revenue and expenses the managers are expecting that will happen over a specified future period of time and that is normally compared to the reality and the basics of the process of the company while the production is on going.
On the other hand, a standard when it comes to terms of business refers more specifically to units because an standard is something that the managers of the company are expecting to acquire and to achieve over a certain period of time always focusing in the unit of production, not in the total amount.
In addition to well-designed executive compensation packages, two other motivational forces can align the interests of managers with those of their shareholders. Which of the following actions could be used to reduce the potential for these agency conflicts and ensure that the firm’s managers will pursue the long-term wealth interests of their shareholders? Let the manager know that he or she will be fired if the company’s stock does not reach a certain target by the end of the year. Let the manager know that a takeover is possible if he or she doesn’t perform well.
Answer: Let the manager know that a takeover is possible if he or she doesn’t perform well.
Explanation:
Agency problems refer to when managers take actions that benefit them instead of the shareholders of the company.
There are quite some ways to reduce the incidence of this happening and one of those is to let the manager know that a takeover is possible if they do not perform well.
Managers do not particularly like takeovers because the new owners of the company tend to get rid of the company's management who will be viewed as the reason for the company's failure or lack of growth. This will also impart on their reputations as good managers.
Accrued salaries owed to employees for October 30 and 31 are not considered in preparing the financial statements for the year ended October 31. Indicate which items will be erroneously stated, because of the error, on (A) the income statement for the year and (B) the balance sheet as of October 31. Also indicate whether the items in error will be overstated or understated.
Answer:
Indication of items erroneously stated on:
A) the income statement for the year
Salaries Expense will be understated.
Therefore, the Net Income will be overstated.
B) the balance sheet as of October 31:
Salaries Expense Payable (current liabilities) will be understated.
Explanation:
When accrued salaries are not accounted for in the financial statements for an accounting period, it means that the revenues generated for that period are not being matched with the expenses incurred in generating the revenues. Such omission does not agree with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles. These require that expenses are accrued whether paid for or not, and that expenses are matched to the period's revenue since they are necessarily incurred in generating such revenue.

When you arrive on Thursday, December 30, and find that the inventory procedures have just been started. You spot a railway car on the sidetrack at the unloading door and ask the warehouse superintendent, Buck Rogers, how he plans to inventory the contents of the car. He responds, "We are not going to include the contents in the inventory." Later in the day, you ask the bookkeeper for the invoice on the carload and the related freight bill. The invoice lists the various items, prices, and extensions of the goods in the car. You note that the carload was shipped December 24 from Albuquerque, f.o.b. Albuquerque, and that the total invoice price of the goods in the car was $35,300. The freight bill called for a payment of $1,500. Terms were net 30 days. The bookkeeper affirms the fact that this invoice is to be held for recording in January. Does your client have a liability that should be recorded at December 31? Discuss. For what possible reason(s) might your client wish to postpone recording the transaction?
Answer:
1. Yes he has a liability that should be.
Explanation:
Ownership would be shifted to buyer as soon as product has been shipped.
From question we saw that the car load has been shipped from Albuquerque in December 24, so ownership has been moved to Milwaukee branch.
1. So yes my client has a liability which should be recorded on that date. The date is December 31st and the amount is $36800
2. My client client may want to postpone the recording based on these reasons
a. Based on wanting to keep current ratio at a particular level. The value of additional recovery and account payable would then affect it
b. So as to show decreased amount of account payable
c. So as to show reduced net profit.
