Porter Plumbing's stock had a required return of 11.75% last year, when the risk-free rate was 5.50% and the market risk premium was 4.75%. Then an increase in investor risk aversion caused the market risk premium to rise by 2%. The risk-free rate and the firm's beta remain unchanged. What is the company's new required rate of return
Answer:
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Ke- required rate of return, Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using the model, we work out Beta which is not given and then re-calculate the required rate of return of the new stock
Ke- 11.75 % Rf- 5.5, Rm-Rf = 4.75%, β= ?
11.75% = 5.50% + β(4.75%)
11.75% -5.50% = β(4.75%)
(11.75-5.50)/4.75= β
1.315789474 = β
1.315 = β
New required rate of return
5.50% + 1.315(1.02×4.75)
11.875
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Required rate of return, (Re) = 11.75%
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 5.50%
Market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 4.75
Let's calculate beta (b) first, by using below formula.
Re = Rf + b (Rm - Rf)
11.75 = 5.50 + b ( 4.75)
By solving, we get beta (b) = 1.3157 = 1.32
Now, market risk premium is increased by 2%.
So, new market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 6.75%. Beta and Rf values are same.
New Required rate of return (Re) = 5.50 + 1.32 * 6.75
By solving, we get Re = 14.41 %
Each month a bank adjusts the initial interest rate it offers to customers who wish to open a new high-yield savings account. The bank wants to determine if there is a relationship between the initial interest rate and the average daily number of new savings accounts. The bank plans to use the interest to predict the average number of new savings accounts opened in a month. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. Both the interest rate and the average daily number of new accounts are explanatory variables.
B. Both the interest rate and the average daily number of new accounts are response variables.
C. Average daily number of new a variable.
D. Interest rate is the explanatory variable 1/0 Scatterplot of Ave.
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
The initial interest rate is being manipulated by the researcher (that is the bank). Hence is the predictor or explanatory variable. It can also be called the independent variable.
Any variable can take on the quality of an independent variable. It all depends on the role it is playing in the research.

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 5.6 pounds $ 3.00 per pound $ 16.80
Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.80
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Ten thousand eight hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
b.
The company produced only 1,080 units, using 9,720 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
c. Five hundred and thirty two hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,384.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Direct materials price variance F
Direct materials quantity variance U
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct materials 5.6 pounds $ 3.00 per pound
Actual:
10,800 pounds were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
The company produced only 1,080 units, using 9,720 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*10,800
Direct material price variance= $1,080 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (5.6*1,080 - 9,720)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $11,016 unfavorable

A small neighborhood comprised of 10 homes has a problem with break-ins and find the local police to be effective. They are considering hiring private security. Each household can calculate their marginal benefit of having a private security guard by the formula MB=100/(1+S) where S is the number of hours of security patrol provided per week.
If private security is a public good and the cost is $20 per hour, what is the efficient level of security? Do you expect this to be the equilibrium outcome?
Answer:
The efficient level of security is 4 hours of security.
The equilibrium may not be sustainable.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the efficient level of security we would Set MB=MC i.e. guard's wage for net benefit maximization.
Hence, 100/(1+S)=20
20*(1+S)=10
1+S=5
S=4
Therefore, 4 hours of security is needed . The efficient level of security is 4 hours of security.
In the followig case Security guards is public good in this case, Public good is non-excludable and non-rivalrous. People cannot be stopped from using it without paying for it. Payment for security guard is voluntary. So, equilibrium may not be sustainable.

Calip Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for October: Sales $413,000 Cost of goods sold (all variable) $169,100 Total variable selling expense $20,700 Total fixed selling expense $17,900 Total variable administrative expense $13,100 Total fixed administrative expense $30,400 The contribution margin for October is:_________.
a) $210,100
b) $364,700
c) $161,800
d) $243,900
Answer:
$243,900
Explanation:
Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October
Sales= $413,000
Cost of goods sold= $169,100
Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700
Total fixed selling expense= $17,900
Total variable administrative expense= $13,100
Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400
The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales
= $413,000-$169,100
= $243,900
Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900
Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Which of the following are plausible as a result of this increase in the sales tax. Is this plausible? Explain.
Answer: No it's not plausible.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Is this plausible? Explain.
From the question, we are told that the state increases its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent and the state revenue commissioner predicted that a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue due to the increase in sales tax.
This is not plausible, when the sales tax increases from from 5 percent to 6 percent, this will lead to an increase in the prices of the goods. According to the law of demand, the higher the price of goods and services, the lower will be the demand for the good. So, in this case, due to the increase in sales tax, it may prompt the consumers to reduce their spending.
Therefore, a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue is not plausible. Even if there will be an increase in the sales tax revenue, it won't be up to 20 percent.

Year 5 $160,000 $100,000 $0.40 $60,000 $0.12
Year 6 $180,000 $100,000 $0.40 $80,000 $0.16
Explanation:
Cumulative, Preferred Stock attracts fixed dividend every year, whether profit is made or not, and whether dividend is declared or not. In any year when there is no dividend declared, the dividend due to cumulative preferred stock is accumulated and paid whenever dividend is declared. And the holders of cumulative prefered stock take precedence in receiving dividends.
Preferred Stock is a class of stock that attracts fixed dividend based on percentage. They have preference with respect to dividend before the Common Stock and in the sharing of company resources. There are many variants. Some are cumulative and others are non-cumulative. Some are participatory while others are not.

As a company produces more units within the relevant range, the difference between total variable cost and total fixed cost is:___________. A) Total variable cost and total fixed cost bother remain constant B) Total variable cost and total fixed cost both change C) Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant D) Total variable cost remains constant and total fixed cost changes
Answer:
C.Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant
Explanation:
The difference between both the total variable cost and total fixed cost is that then total variable cost changes and the total fixed cost remains constant because variable cost changes reason been that it is not constant which means that it is movable while fixed cost remains constant and tend to remain fixed in which case means that it is not movable. Example of fixed cost is Land because land cannot be moved from one location to another location.

An investor must decide between putting $2,000 into a regular retirement plan or putting $1,440 into a Roth retirement plan. If the investor's tax rate is 28% now and in retirement, and she expects to earn 12% per year over the next 20 years, which will produce more cash in the end?
Answer:
They both produced the same cash amount
Explanation:
The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan
The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000
r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%
n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan
FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59
After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66
The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:
FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66
The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.
Samson Manufacturing Company, a calendar-year company, purchased a machine for $65,000 on January 1, 20X0. At the date of purchase, Samson incurred the following additional costs:
Loss on sale of old machinery $1,000
Freight-in 500
Installation cost 2,000
Testing costs prior to regular operation 300
The machine’s estimated salvage value was $5,000, and Samson estimated it would have a useful life of 20 years with depreciation being computed on the straight-line method. In January 20X2, accessories costing $3,600 were added to the machine to reduce its operating costs. These accessories neither prolonged the machine’s life nor provided any additional salvage value.
Required:
What should Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011?
Answer:
Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011 an amount of $3,340
Explanation:
In order to calculate What should Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011 we would have to calculate first the cost to capitalize as follows:
Cost to capitalize=purchase price+freight+installation+testing
=$65,000+$500+$2,000+$3,000
=$67,800
Depreciation expense for 2010=cost of machinery-residual value/life of machinery
Depreciation expense for 2010=$67,800-$5,000/20
Depreciation expense for 2010=$3,140
Hence, Book value=cost of machinery-(cost of machinery-residual value)/life of machinery))*period of asset used
=$67,800-($62,800-$5,000)/20))*2
=$61,250
Therefore, depreciation expense for 2011=$61,250+$3,600-$5,000/18
depreciation expense for 2011=$3,340

Todd Mountain Development Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 10% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 8%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18%. The stock of Todd Mountain Development Corporation has a beta of 0.60. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________.
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Ke = risk free rate of return + beta×(market portfolio - risk free rate of return)
= 8% + 0.60 × (18% - 8%)
= 8% + 6%
= 14%
= 0.14
Now using the constant-growth DDM model :
Intrinsic value of the stock = Dividend ÷ (Ke - expected growing rate)
= $3 ÷ (0.14-0.10)
= $75
Hence, Intrinsic value of the stock is $75.

Your enterprising uncle opens a sandwich shop that employs 15 people. The employees are paid $20 per hour, and a sandwich sells for $5. If your uncle is maximizing his profit, the value of the marginal product of the last worker he hired is______ $ , and that worker's marginal product is sandwiches per hour.
Answer:
The value of the marginal product of the last worker hired is $20
The marginal product of the last worker hired is 4 sandwiches per hour
Please kindly note the difference between the terms, value of marginal product and the term marginal product
Explanation:
Since the uncle is trying to maximize profit, then he will hire workers up to a point where the wages of the workers equals their marginal product value
Now, from the question, the value of the wages is $20 per hour, this also means that their marginal product too will be $20 per hour
This automatically means that the value of the marginal product of the last worker hired is also $20
Mathematically;
Value of marginal product = Marginal product * price
Thus, marginal product = value of marginal product/ price
= $20/$5 = 4
This means that the new worker hired marginal product is 4 sandwiches per hour
Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted due to the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to stop the farm's pollution.
Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?
A. Integration of different types of businesses
B. Contracts
C. Moral codes and social sanctions
D. Charities
It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that __________
Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.
The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.
It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.

Differential Analysis for a Lease or Buy Decision Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $125,500. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $1,600. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $2,500 per year over the five-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $30,000 per year for five years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss. Differential Analysis Lease Equipment (Alt. 1) or Buy Equipment (Alt. 2) December 3 Lease Equipment (Alternative 1) Buy Equipment (Alternative 2) Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2) Revenues $ $ $ Costs: Purchase price $ $ $ Freight and installation Repair and maintenance (5 years) Lease (5 years) Income (loss) $ $ $ Determine whether Carr should lease (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the equipment.
Answer: Carr should buy the equipment
Explanation:
Lease financing is a source of medium- and long-term financing whereby the owner of an asset gives the right to use an asset to another person, against periodical payments. Here, the owner of the asset is called the lessor and the person who uses the asset is called the lessee.
Based on the attached explanation, Carr should buy the equipment.
Top Sound International designs and sells high-end stereo equipment for auto and home use. Engineers notified management in December 2021 of a circuit flaw in an amplifier that poses a potential fire hazard. Further investigation indicates that a product recall is probable, estimated to cost the company $4 million. The fiscal year ends on December 31.Required:Should this contingent liability be reported, disclosed in a note only, or neither.
Answer:
This should be reported
Explanation:
A contingent liability can be described as a liability that likely to be incurred at it depends on the outcome of an uncertain future event.
The condition for reporting a contingent liability is that its contigency must be likely and it is possible to reasonably estimate the amount of the liability.
Since it is indicated in the question that investigation indicates that a product recall is probable, ant it is estimated to cost the company $4 million, it therefore implies that the contigent liability meets the two conditions for it to be reported.
The company's fixed costs that are traceable to the Northern branch is $175,000, while fixed costs that are traceable to the Southern branch is $180,000. The Northern branch is further divided into two segments based on the customer types: the local and the nonlocal. Traceable fixed cost for the local is $68,250, and traceable fixed cost for the nonlocal is $88,700.
How much is the common fixed costs of the two order types for the Northern branch?
Answer:
$18,050
Explanation:
The computation of the common fixed cost of two order types for the northern branch is shown below:
= Company fixed cost traceable to the northern branch - traceable fixed cost for the local - traceable fixed cost for the non local
= $175,000 - $68,250 - $88,700
= $18,050
For computing it we simply deducted the traceable fixed cost from the company fixed cost so that the common fixed cost for the two orders types could come
The common fixed cost is the cost which supports more than the one division in the same business
