Answer:
The range will be "-2.0% to 14.8%". A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
According to the question,
For 68%, the range seems to be +/- 1 standard deviation of the mean. So that the upper as well as the lower range will be:
Upper range,
= [tex]6.4 - 8.4[/tex]
= [tex]-2.0[/tex] (%)
Lower range,
= [tex]6.4 + 8.4[/tex]
= [tex]14.8[/tex] (%)
So that the range would be between "-2.0% to 14.8%".
Consider the following information on returns and probabilities: Invest 1/2 of your money in Asset A and 1/2 in Asset B. State Probability A B Boom .25 12% 4% Bust .75 6% 18% What is the expected return for the portfolio
Answer: 11%
Explanation:
Find the expected return in both Booms and Busts;
0.5 of your money is in Asset A and Asset B each.
Boom;
= (0.50 * 12%) + (0.50 * 4%)
= 8%
Bust
= (0.50 * 6%) + (0.50 * 18%)
= 12%
Portfolio expected return = (0.25 * 8%) + (0.75 * 12%)
= 11%

The owner of Genuine Subs, Inc., hopes to expand the present operation by adding one new outlet. She has studied three locations. Each would have the same labor and materials costs (food, serving containers, napkins, etc.) of $1.90 per sandwich. Sandwiches sell for $2.70 each in all locations. Rent and equipment costs would be $5,400 per month for location A, $5,700 per month for location B, and $5,950 per month for location C. a. Determine the volume necessary at each location to realize a monthly profit of $10,000.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the volume necessary for each location is as follows;
a) Volume required for break even at location A
= ($5,400 + $10,000) ÷ ($2.70 - $1.90)
= 19,250 units
Volume required for break even at location B
= ($5,700 + $10,000) ÷ ($2.70 - $1.90)
= 19,625 units
Volume required for break even at location C
= ($5,950 + $10,000) ÷ ($2.70 - $1.90)
= 19,938 units
Cougar Athletics is soliciting bids on a 3-year contract to produce 5,000 t-shirts per year to be given away at athletic events. You have decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $4 per shirt in variable costs (buying plain t-shirts and paying an employee to imprint them) and $8,000 per year in fixed costs. A t-shirt printing machine will cost $17,500. The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 3-year life and it will not have any salvage value. There are no net working capital implications for the project. If your tax rate is 21% and your required return on this project is 12%, how much would you bid for the contract? State your answer as the annual sales amount (to 2 decimal places, $XX,XXX.XX), not the per-unit price. Write up your solutions by hand and email them to me after the exam (do NOT send a spreadsheet).
Answer:
$7.1345 per shirt
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year = $17,500 / 3 = $5,833
initial outlay = -$17,500
cash flow year 1 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
cash flow year 2 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
cash flow year 3 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
$17,500 = (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12 + (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12² + (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12³
$17,500 = 3,526.79X - $18,656.25 + 3,148.92X - $16,657.37 + 2,811.53X - $14,872.65
$17,500 = 9,487.24X - $50,186.27
$67,686.27 = 9,487.24X
X = $67,686.27 / 9,487.24 = $7.1345 per shirt

3. Keim, Inc. manufactures baseball gloves that normally sell for $40 each. Keim currently has 1,000 defective gloves in inventory that have $30 of materials, labor, and overhead assigned to each glove. The defective gloves can either be completely repaired at a cost of $25 per glove or sold as is at a reduced price of $18 per glove. Keim would be better off by: a. $3,000 to sell
Answer:
selling the defective gloves as they are results in a $3,000 higher gain
Explanation:
the manufacturing costs of the defective gloves should be considered a sunk cost since they cannot be recovered:
alternative 1, sell defective gloves = $18 x 1,000 = $18,000 gain
alternative 2, repair the gloves and sell them at normal price = ($40 - $25) x 1,000 = $15,000 gain
alternative 1 (selling the defective gloves as they are) results in a $3,000 higher gain
jones company has a target capital structure of 40% debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common equity. The company's after-tax cost of debt is 5.1% its cost of preferred stock is 6%, its cost of retained earnings is 13.6%, and its cost of new common stock is 22.9%. The company stock has a beta of 1.7 and the company marginal tax rate is 40%. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital if retained earnings are used to fund the common equity portion
Answer:
8.624%
Explanation:
Bond Kd = 5.1%
Preferred stock Kp = 6%
Retained earnings Ks = 13.6%
News shares Kn = 22.9%
Tax rate = 40%
WACC = (0.40*(1-t)Kd) + (0.10*Kp) + (0.50*Ks)
WACC = (0.40*(1-0.40)*5.1 + 0.10*6 + 0.50*13.6
WACC = 0.40*0.60*5.1 + 0.60 + 6.8
WACC = 1.224 + 0.60 + 6.8
WACC = 8.624%

Company ABC provides a dependent care assistance flexible spending arrangement to its employees through a cafeteria plan. In addition, it provides occasional on-site dependent care to its employees at no cost. Emily, a single filing taxpayer and an employee of Company ABC, had $4,500 deducted from her pay for the dependent care flexible spending arrangement. In addition, Emily used the on-site dependent care several times. The fair market value of the on-site care was $700. Emily's Form W-2 should report $5,200 of dependent care assistance in Box 10. If all other conditions are met, what is the maximum amount excludable from gross income for the dependent care expenses Emily can report on her tax return
Answer:
Company ABC and Emily, a single filing taxpayer
The maximum amount excludable from Emily's gross income for the dependent care expenses, which Emily can report on her tax return is $3,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations for Emily:
Dependent care flexible spending arrangement deduction = $4,500
Fair market value of the on-site dependent care used = $700
Form W-2 reported dependent care assistance = $5,200
Maximum amount excludable from Emily's gross income for the dependent care expenses Emily can report on her tax return is $3,000.
b) According to the IRS records, Emily can exclude or deduct dependent care benefits provided by a dependent care benefit plan, an amount not exceeding $3,000 if one qualifying person was cared for or $6,000 if two or more qualifying persons were cared for. Since the number of persons cared for is not disclosed, it is assumed that Emily cared for only one qualifying person. Therefore, $3,000 is the maximum she is allowed to deduct.

Moss exchanges a warehouse for a building he will use as an office building. The adjusted basis of the warehouse is $600,000 and the fair market value of the office building is $350,000. In addition, Moss receives cash of $150,000. What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building?
Answer:
$0 and $450,000.
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building
Calculation for the recognized gain or loss
Using this formula
Recognized gain or loss =Amount realized -(Adjusted basis-Realized loss)
Let plug in the formula
Recognized gain or loss= ($350,000 + $150,000) -( $600,000-$100,000)
Recognized loss =($500,000-$500,000)
Recognized loss =$0
Therefore the Recognized loss will be $0
Calculation for the basis of the office building
Using this formula
Basis of the office building=FMV+Postponed loss
Let plug in the formula
Basis of the office building= $350,000+$100,000
Basis of the office building= $450,000
Therefore the Basis of the office building will be $450,000

2. In 2020, Leon Longrove sold a piece of business equipment that had an adjusted basis to him of $50,000 for $75,000 cash plus artwork that had a fair market value of $25,000. The buyer assumed Leon's $20,000 loan on the equipment. Leon paid $5,000 in selling expenses. What is the amount of Leon's gain on the sale
Answer:
Leon's gain = $65,000
Explanation:
Total consideration received by Leon = $75,000 (cash) + $25,000 (artwork) + $20,000 (loan assumed by buyer) = $120,000
Leon's total costs = $50,000 (equipment's basis) + $5,000 (selling expenses) = $55,000
Leon's gain = total consideration received - total costs = $120,000 - $55,000 = $65,000

g The Ricardian equivalence states that if the government cuts taxes without changing current or future expenditure then: a) households will consume more because the marginal propensity to consume is positive b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future c) households will consume less because they will acquire the debt issued by the government d) households will save less because the tax multiplier is bigger than 1 e) both (a) and (d) f) both (b) and (c)
Answer:
b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future
Explanation:
The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.
On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.
Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.
Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $12 and that she can buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $1.50 and the price of a banana is $0.75. This means that, in order to buy two bananas, this consumer must forgo

1 apple
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that if a consumer has a budget or income of $12 and she can purchased only two goods i.e. apple or banans and if the price of the apple is $1.50 and the price of banana is $0.75 so if she purchases two bananas so the consumer must forgo the one apple
