Answer:
d. beta did a better job of explaining the returns than standard deviation
Explanation:
Beta measures the systemic risk associated with the particular investment, it do not compute the total risk associated, which is more logical.
Standard deviation computes the total risk associated.
Some risk is natural, like the risk of floods, natural calamities, earthquake, etc:
That risk shall not counted as for comparison as that is associated universally. Further, the risk associated with particular factors like bankruptcy of a company, or some legal case issue of a company are precisely described by beta coefficient.
Thus, beta provides better details about explaining the returns.

At the end of this clip, Neville has defined the degree to which the information he shared has ________ when he says that he is not ready for everyone else to know the information.
Answer: Boundary permeability
Explanation:
Boundary Permeability is a term in psychology ( as well as other fields such as business and technology) that is meant to describe the amount and limits of information that a person is willing to share with others.
By saying that he is not ready for everyone else to know the information he told the people, he is stating the amount of information he is willing to share with others which means the information has boundary permeability.
After 1989, Donna purchased series EE savings bonds for $2,500 at the age of 25. This year she redeemed the bonds for $5,000 and paid qualified higher education expenses for her daughter in the amount of $3,000. How much interest will Donna be required to include in her gross income this year
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Donna purchased series of savings bond for $2,500 at the age of 25
This year Donna redeemed the bond of $5,000
She paid $3,000 as expenses for her daughter education
The first step is the calculate the interest income
= $3,000/$5,000 × $2,500
= 0.6 × $2500
= $1,500
Therefore the interest that will be required by Donna to include in her gross income this year can be calculated as follows
= $2,500-$1,500
= $1,000
Hence Donna is required to include an interest of $1,000 in her gross income this year
4. Firm E must choose between two alternative transactions. Transaction 1 requires a cash outlay of $9,000; this expense would be non-deductible in the computation of the firm’s taxable income. Transaction 2 requires a cash outlay of $13,500, all of which would be a deductible expense. Determine which transaction has the lesser after-tax cost, assuming: a) Firm E’s marginal tax rate is 20 percent. b) Firm E’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Answer:
a. Transaction 1
It is not deductible so the Taxable income is $9,000
Transaction 2
It is deductible, taxable income would be;
= 13,500 * ( 1 - Tax)
= 13,500 * ( 1 - 20%)
= $10,800
b. Transaction 1
It is not deductible so the Taxable income is $9,000
Transaction 2
It is deductible, taxable income would be;
= 13,500 * ( 1 - Tax)
= 13,500 * ( 1 - 40%)
= $8,100

A manufacturer of tiling grout has supplied the following data:
Kilograms produced and sold 340,000
Sales revenue $1,910,000
Variable manufacturing expense $956,000
Fixed manufacturing expense $258,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $363,000
Fixed selling and administrative expense $224,000
Net operating income $109,000
The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to:_______.
(A) 49.9%
(B) 81.0%
(C) 30.9%
(D) 74.8%
Answer:
(C) 30.9%
Explanation:
Calculation for the company's contribution margin ratio
First step is to find the Contribution margin using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin = $1,910,000-$1,319,000
Contribution margin = $591,000
Second step is to calculate for the Contribution margin ratio using this formula
Contribution margin ratio= Contribution margin ÷ Sales
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin ratio = $591,000 ÷ $1,910,000
Contribution margin ratio = 0.309×100
Contribution margin ratio=30.9%
Calculation for Total Variable expenses
Variable manufacturing expense $956,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $363,000
Total $1,319,000
Therefore the Contribution margin ratio will be 30.9%
The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to 30.9%. A company's contribution margin ratio (CM ratio) is determined by dividing revenue by revenue less all variable costs. It stands for the small gain from manufacturing an extra unit. Thus, option C is correct.
The company's contribution margin ratio is calculated as:
Sales minus variable costs equal contribution margin.
formula:
Margin of contribution = $1,910,000 - $1,319,000
Margin of contribution = $591,000
The Contribution margin ratio is calculated in the following step using this formula.
Sales Contribution Margin to Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio
formula:
The ratio of contribution: $591,000 divided by $1,910,000
Contribution margin ratio: 0.309 to one hundred.
The ratio of contribution is 30.9%
Total Variable Expense Calculation
$956,000 in variable manufacturing costs
$363,00 in variable marketing and administrative costs
Total $1,319,000
The Contribution Margin Ratio will thus be 30.9%.
Revenue is less variable costs equal contribution margin. The formula for calculating the contribution margin ratio is (Revenue - Variable Costs) / Revenue.
The contribution margin may not always be a reliable indicator of economic gain. There may be major fixed costs that businesses must take into account. To ascertain how many units must be sold at what price for a business to break even, a break-even analysis may be necessary.

Shares Remaining After Recapitalization Dye Trucking raised $290 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock. After the recap, Dye's stock price is $8.5. If Dye had 75 million shares of stock before the recap, how many shares does it have after the recap? Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. million shares
Answer: 40.8824 million
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Dye Trucking raised $290 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock and that after the recap, Dye's stock price is $8.5.
If Dye had 75 million shares of stock before the recap, the number of shares that it'll have after the recap goes thus:
The number of shares repurchased is:
= $290million/$8.5
= 34,117,647
= 34.1176 million
Shares after the recap will now be:
= 75 million - 34.1176 million
= 40.8824 million
You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to make money from your father. Your plan is to start working and earn enough money so that you can finance your degree on your own and get yourself enrolled in five years’ time. You estimate that the annual cost of doing an MBA 5 years from today will be PKR 400,000 and the program will be two years long. You will need the money at the beginning of your program so that you are not worried about how to clear your dues during your studies. Luckily you go for a job interview and they hire you and you start working at a salary of PKR 25,000. So you decide that 50% you will deposit in a saving account at a 10% rate with monthly compounding for your further studies and the remaining amount you will use for your daily expenses. 1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate? 2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount? 3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%? Comment on your answer. 4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.
Answer:
1. Yes, you will be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000.
2. Percentage of monthly salary to save = 41%.
3. You will still be able to meet your goal at the saving rate of 5% since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000. Although, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 at 10% is higher than the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 at 5% saving rate.
4. I would choose the saving rate of 10% monthly compounding. The reason is that the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% semiannual compounding saving rate of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than the Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years at 10.5% saving rate semiannual compounding of PKR 954,422.88 by an amount of PKR 13,540.52 (i.e. PKR 967,963.40 - PKR 954,422.88 = PKR 13,540.52).
Explanation:
Monthly salary = PKR 25,000
Monthly savings = PKR 25,000 * 50% = PKR 12,500
Annual MBA cost = PKR 400,000
Total MBA cost for 2 years = PKR 400,000 * 2 = PKR 800,000
1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?
To determine this, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:
FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years =?
M = Monthly savings = PKR 12,500
r = Monthly interest rate = 10% / 12 = 0.10 /12 = 0.00833333333333333
n = number of months the savings will be made = 5 year * 12 months = 60
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 12,500 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^60 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333)
FV = 12,500 * 77.4370721734302
FV = PKR 967,963.40
Yes, you will be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000.
2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?
To determine this, we still make use of equation (1) in part (1) above by changing Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years (FV) to PKR 800,000 while other values remains the same and solve for Monthly savings (M) after substituting the values into equation (1) follows:
800,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^60 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333)
800,000 = M * 77.4370721734302
M = 800,000 / 77.4370721734302
M = PKR 10,330.97
Percentage of salary to save = M / Monthly salary = PKR 10,330.97 / PKR 25,000 = 0.41323876409392, or 41%
3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%? Comment on your answer.
We use equation (1) is part 1, retain all the other values except r which is obtained as follows:
r = Monthly interest rate = 5% / 12 = 0.05 / 12 = 0.00416666666666667
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 12,500 * (((1 + 0.00416666666666667)^60 - 1) / 0.00416666666666667)
FV = 12,500 * 68.0060828408433
FV = PKR 850,076.04
You will still be able to meet your goal at the saving rate of 5% since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000. Although, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 at 10% is higher than the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 at 5% saving rate.
4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.
From part 1 above, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% saving rate monthly compounding is PKR 967,963.40.
To obtain the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10.5% semiannual compounding saving rate, we use equation (1) with changes in definitions to semiannual where:
FV = Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years =?
M = Semiannual total savings = Monthly saving * 6 months = PKR 12,500 * 6 = PKR 75,000
r = Semiannual interest rate = 10.5% / 2 = 0.105 / 2 = 0.0525
n = number of semiannual the savings will be made = 5 year * 2 semiannuals = 10 semiannuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 75,000 * (((1 + 0.0525)^10 - 1) / 0.0525)
FV = 75,000 * 12.7256383972991
FV = PKR 954,422.88
Therefore, I would choose the saving rate of 10% monthly compounding.
The reason is that the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% semiannual compounding saving rate of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than the Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years at 10.5% saving rate semiannual compounding of PKR 954,422.88 by an amount of PKR 13,540.52 (i.e. PKR 967,963.40 - PKR 954,422.88 = PKR 13,540.52).
Between quarter 10 and quarter 11, real GDP grew by what percentage?
a. 5%
b. 6%
c. 3%
d. 4%
e. –5%
Incomplete question.
However, let's assume the real GDP for quarter 10 was $45,000and for quarter 11 is $47,250.
Answer:
a. 5%
Explanation:
First, remember that the real GDP refers to the total value of all of the final goods and services produced in an economy during a given period (usually a year) after taking into account inflation.
To find the percentage increase, we subtract
$47250-$45,000 = $2250
Next, we find the percentage of the amount on $45,000
$2250/$45000 * 100 = 5%

Explanation:
At a price of $4.00, the quantity is 1 + 5 + 8 = 14.
At a price of $2.00, the quantity is 0 + 3 + 4 = 7.
The quantity decreased by 7. So A and B are false.
Ann's supply curve is linear, so her change in quantity will be proportional to the price change. However, Barry and Charlie have nonlinear supply curves, so their change in quantity will not be proportional. So D is false.
Only C is true. At a price of $2.00, Charlie's quantity is 0.
Kayleigh is looking over a number of material requisition slips from her employees. She has to sign off on each request after reviewing it, which she thinks is a waste of time and effort. Kayleigh believes that having the name of the employee who requested the materials should be enough. Is she correct?
Answer: B : No, approval by an individual other than the requestor establishes greater accountability over inventory.
Explanation:
The purpose of reviewing the material requisition slips is to ensure that there is greater accountability in inventory acquisition and this is why it is important that someone else apart from the person requesting approves the inventory request as it will reduce chances of fraud.
If the person requesting could also approve, there is a chance that inventory that is not needed will be ordered and then used for purposes other than to benefit the business but to benefit the person who requested it.
Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2021 with a refund liability of $400,000. During 2021, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $13,400,000. Halifax's merchandise costs is 65% of merchandise selling price. Also during the year, customers returned $661,000 in sales for credit, with $365,000 of those being returns of merchandise sold prior to 2021, and the rest being merchandise sold during 2021. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare entries to (a) record actual returns in 2021 of merchandise that was sold prior to 2021; (b) record actual returns in 2021 of merchandise that was sold during 2021; and (c) adjust the refund liability to its appropriate balance at year end. 2. What is the amount of the year-end refund liability after the adjusting entry is recorded

inventory-returns 237,250 debit
cost of goods sold 237,250 credit
--returns in the current year--
Balance of allowance for sales refunds: 409,000
Explanation:
When returning their goods the customer's receivables are canceled.
We also need to calculate the cost of these goods that return to the company's inventory.
365,000 x 65% = 237,250
296,000 x 65% = 192,400
credit-sales: 13,400,000
estimated returns: 5% >> 670,000
estimated inventory-returns 670,000 x 65% = 435,500
We work with our liabilities and return accounts rather than the cost of good sold and sales returns as these are adjusted at year-end based on credit sales.
Balance:
beginning 400,000
returns (661,000)
year-end

From balance sheet information, liquidity financial ratios can be made, like current ratio (current assets / current liabiliies), or the acid test (Current assets - inventory / current liabilities).
Liquidity refers to an assessment of whether a company will be able to pay all its liabilities.
Liquidity can be defined as the amount of liquid assets that a company has. Liquid assets are those that can be easily sold and bought in the market without a loss of value. Cash, and cash equivalents are the most important liquid accounts. If a firm has a lot of cash, it is likely to have enough liquidity to pay off its debts in the future.
The other two statements are wrong.

Manufacturer A has a profit margin of 2.0%, an asset turnover of 1.7 and a liabilities-to-assets ratio of 0.8. Manufacturer B has a profit margin of 2.3%, an asset turnover of 1.1 and an equity multiplier of 4.7. How much asset turnover should manufacturer B have to match manufacturer A's ROE
Answer:
1.54
Explanation:
The computation of the asset turnover for manufacturer B to match with the manufacturer A is shown below:
As we know that
Return on equity = profit margin × asset turnover × gearing
2 × 1.7 × 4.9 = 2.3 × Asset tunover × 4.7
After solving this, the asset turnover is 1.54 times
So it should be 1.54 for matching
Also, we assume that there is an equity multiplier for manufacturer A of 4.9 instead of liabilities-to-assets ratio so we considered the same in the above computation part
Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 4,600 tons in beginning work in process inventory (70% complete) on October 1. During October, 77,000 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 3,900 tons (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials for October if materials are added at the beginning of the process? 80,900 units
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 80,900 tons
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
During October, 77,000 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 3,900 tons (40% complete).
Because the direct material is added at the beginning of the process, we should not take into account the beginning inventory. It was recognized the previous month.
For direct material, each ton is completed at 100%.
Units completed= 77,000*1 = 77,000
Ending inventory= 3,900*1= 3,900
Total equivalent units= 80,900 tons

A stock that sold for $ per share at the beginning of the year was selling for $ at the end of the year. If the stock paid a dividend of $ per share, what is the simple interest rate on the investment in this stock? Consider the interest to be the increase in value plus the dividend.
Answer:
137.77%
Explanation:
obviously the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
"A stock that sold for $26 per share at the beginning of the year was selling for $52 at the end of the year. If the stock paid a dividend of $9.82 per share, what is the simple interest rate on the investment in this stock? Consider the interest to be the increase in value plus the dividend."
total interest received (your gain) = (year end market value - purchase price) + dividends received = ($52 - $26) + $9.82 = $35.82initial investment (purchase price) = $26simple interest rate of return on investment = total interest received / initial investment = $35.82 / $26 = 1.3777 or 137.77%
At the beginning of the call, the team members ask how one another is doing and mention the weather. What piece of advice for virtual meetings does
this best match?
Answer:
At the beginning of the virtual meeting it is okay to start with small talks such as the weather.

By using small talks, each member of the meeting would be more open and flow better with the meetings agenda. Before the meeting starts a few minutes of small talk such as these would get everyone warmed up. And members would feel more comfortable.
