Stock Y has a beta of 1.3 and an expected return of 15.3 percent. Stock Z has a beta of 0.70 and an expected return of 9.3 percent. If the risk-free rate is 5.5 percent and the market risk premium is 6.8 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y and Z are and percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is percent, Stock Y is (Click to select) and Stock Z is:_______ . (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer:
Reward-to-risk ratio Y =7.54%
Reward-to-risk ratio Z = 5.43%
Since the SML reward-to-risk is 6.8%
Stock Y is Undervalued
Stock Z Overvalued
Explanation:
Calculation for the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y is 7.54% and Z is 5.43% respectively.
Reward-to-risk ratio Y = (15.3%-5.5%)/1.3
Reward-to-risk ratio Y =7.54%
Reward-to-risk ratio Z = (9.3%-5.5%)/0.7 =
Reward-to-risk ratio Z = 5.43%
Therefore the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y and Z are and percent, respectively
Since the SML reward-to-risk is 6.8%
Stock Y is undervalued while Stock Stock Z on the other hand is overvalued reason been that
Reward-to-risk ratio Y is high while the Reward-to-risk ratio is low .

Your project to obtain charitable donations is now 30 days into a planned 40-day project. The project is divided into three activities. The first activity is designed to solicit individual donations. It is scheduled to run the first 25 days of the project and to bring in $25,000. Even though we are 30 days into the project, we still see that we have only 90 percent of this activity complete. The second activity relates to company donations and is scheduled to run for 30 days starting on day 5 and extending through day 35. We estimate that, even though we should have 83 percent (25/30) of this activity complete, it is actually only 50 percent complete. This part of the project was scheduled to bring in $150,000 in donations. The final activity is for matching funds. This activity is scheduled to run the last 10 days of the project and has not started. It is scheduled to bring in an additional $50,000. So far, $175,000 has actually been brought in on the project.
Calculate the Schedule Variance, Schedule Performance Index, and Cost (actually value in this case) Performance Index. How is the project going? (Hint: Note that this problem is different since revenue rather than cost is the relevant measure. Use care in how the measures are interpreted.)
Answer:
1. schedule variance = -$52,500
2. SPI = 0.65
3. CPI = 0.56
Explanation:
to get the solution, we calculate for BRWS and BRWP
first we calculate the budgeted revenue of the work scheduled for each activity using this formula:
budgeted revenue * planned completion
A = 25,000 x 100percent
= $25000
B = 150,000 x (25/30) percent
= $125000
C = 50000 x 0percent
= 0$
total = $25000+$125000+$0
= $150000
Next we calculate budgeted revenue of work performed (brwp)
calculated using this formula:
budgeted revenue x actual completion
A = 25000 x 90percent
= 22500 dollars
B = 150000 x 50percent
= $75000
C = 50000 x 0%
= $0
total = 22500 + 75000 + 0
= $97500
1. schedule variance = BRWP - BRWS
= $97500 - $150000
= -$52500
we have a negative schedule, telling us that the project is behind schedule
2. schedule performance index = revenue of work performed divided by revenue of work schedule
= 97500/150000
= 0.65
3. cost price index = revenue of work performed divided by actual revenue
= 97500/175000
= 0.56
4. how the project is going:
the schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.65 which is less than 1. this is to say that the project is doing better than planned revenue when we talk of revenue

Suppose your own demand curve for sweaters slopes downward. Suppose also that, for the last sweater you bought this week, you paid a price exactly equal to your willingness to pay. Then
Use letters in alphabetical order to select options
A your consumer surplus on the last sweater you bought is zero.
B you already have bought too many sweaters this week.
C your consumer surplus on all of the sweaters you have bought this week is zero.
D you should buy more sweaters before the end of the week.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
If willingness to pay = price of the good , then consumer surplus is zero
If the velocity of money is 3 and the amount of narrow money is $1.56 billion, what would be the nominal GDP?
Select one:
a. $8.5 trillion
b. $4.68 billion
c. $4.68 trillion
d. $5.68 billion
= 4.68 billion
Answer:
c. $4.68 trillion
Explanation:
Narrow money refers to the physical money coins and notes within an economy. It is a way of measuring the money that is available for immediate spending in the economy.
The velocity of money is the rate at which money circulates in the economy. Therefore, the velocity of money is a measure of the number of times narrow money circulates in the economy per period.
If the velocity of money is 3, narrow money circulates three times, meaning the value of GDP will be the velocity of money multiplied by narrow money
=3 x 1.56 billion
=4.68 billion

The Kissel Trucking Company Inc. has a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. At December 31, Year 1, the following information is available regarding Kissel's plan:
Fair value of plan assets $30,000,000
Present value of defined benefit obligation 38,000,000
Service costs 4,000,000
Interest costs 1200,000
Actuarial gains 150,000
Past service costs 375,000
Required:
Determine the amount that Kissel will report on the balance sheet as of December 31, Year 1, for this pension plan under IFRS.
Answer:
Under IFRS, net defined benefit liability is reported in balance sheet when Present value of defined benefit obligation (PVDBO) exceeds Fair value of plan assets(FVPA) which results in deficits.
In this case, PVDBO exceeds FVPA, then the difference betwen the two ix the net defined benefit liability.
Difference of PVDBO and FVPA = $38,000,000 - $30,000,000 = $8,000,000. Hence, net defined benefit liability reported in the balance sheet is $8,000,000.

Consumption _____$
Investment _______ $
Government Expenditures ________$
Net Exports _____ $
Change in GDP as a result of the transaction __________ $
Answer:
Consumption $ 1900
Investment 0
Government Expenditures 0
Net Exports -$ 1900
Change in GDP as a result of the transaction 0
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
The purchase of the laptop is part of durable consumption. So, consumption increases by $1900
The purchase of the laptop is not by a business or by the government. Investment and government expenditure remains unchanged.
The purchase of the laptop from China constitutes an import activity. Import increases. But import is a negative function of import, so net export decreases.
Total change in GDP = $1900 + 0 + 0 - $1900 = 0

Explanation:
Suppose that there are 10 million workers in Canada and that each of these workers can produce either 2 cars or 30 bushels of wheat in a year.
Required:
a. What is the opportunity cost of producing a car in Canada? What is the opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat in Canada? Explain the relationship between the opportunity costs of the two goods.
b. Draw Canada’s production possibilities frontier. If Canada chooses to consume 10 million cars, how much wheat can it consume without trade?
c. Now suppose that the United States offers to buy 10 million cars from Canada in exchange for 20 bushels of wheat per car. If Canada continues to consume 10 million cars, how much wheat does this deal allow Canada to consume? Should Canada accept the deal?
Answer:
A) Opportunity Cost = 1/15 or 0.067 car per wheat
B) PPC downward sloping concave curve, with cars & wheat axis intercepts = 20 & 300 (resp). 15M bushels consumption with 10M cars
C) 1 Car : 20 bushels wheat is not beneficial deal
Explanation:
A) Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
As 20 million cars or 300 million bushels wheat can be produced, opportunity cost of a bushel wheat is 20 M /300 M ie 0.067 units car .B) Production Possibility curve curve shows 2 product combinations, that an economy can produce with given resources & technology. Given fixed resources & technology, goods are inversely related & so curve downward sloping. And, it is concave due to increasing Marginal Opportunity Cost.
Canada's PPC is downward sloping concave curve, with intercept = 20M on axis of cars & intercept = 300M on axis of wheat. If Canada consumes (& produces) 10 million cars, it can consume 15M bushels of wheatC) Domestic Car : Wheat trade off ratio is = 20M : 300M ie 1: 15 . So, Trade of 20 bushels wheat per car is not beneficial for Canada. As, it is higher than domestic sacrifise ratio of 15 bushels wheat per car.

Sign: Edward,
if the price of good increases from the £10to £12 and at the same time the quantity demanded falls from 100units to 90 units the price of elasticity will be
Answer: -0.5
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is calculated as :
= % change in quantity demanded / % change in price.
% change in quantity demanded = (90 - 100) / 100 × 100 = -10%
% change in price = (12 - 10) / 10 × 100 = 2/10 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand = -10% / 20% = -0.5
IN the economic order quantity model, if carrying costs increase while all other costs remain unchanged, the number of orders placed would be expected to:_______
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain unchanged.
d. change without regard to carrying costs.
Answer:
b. decrease
Explanation:
In the EOQ model, if carrying costs increase while all other costs remain unchanged, the number of orders placed would be expected to decrease.
Carrying cost is placed in denominator of the EOQ formula hence as we increase denominator the total quantity will fall. If the carrying cost is high, then we would place lesser order to reduce such costs.
Also, if carrying costs decrease while all other costs remain unchanged, the number of orders placed would be expected to decrease because there is already excess of inventory due to which the new orders have to be decreased to utilize the already pending inventory.

They are also cheap when compared to others.
You are the product manager for Vita-Joy, a consumer product with a retail price of $1.00. Retail margins on the product are 33%, while wholesalers take a 12% margin. Using the indicated supply chain, fill in the yellow boxes with dollar amounts. (Hint: Variable costs at one link of the chain become the price at a previous link in the chain. Begin your Vita-Joy calculations with the customer and move backwards; do not start with the company and move forward).
Variable manufacturing costs for Vita-Joy are $0.09 per unit. Fixed manufacturing costs are $900,000. The advertising budget for Vita-Joy is $500,000. Your salary and expenses total $35,000. Salespeople are paid entirely by a 10% commission. Shipping costs, breakage, insurance, and so forth are $0.02 per unit.
Now answer the following:_______.
1. By filling in the yellow and green boxes, determine the contribution per unit for Vita-Joy.
2. What is Vita-Joy's breakeven point?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Contribution Unit for vita Joy
Retail Price $1.00
Retail Margin 33%
Retail Profit $0.33 (1.00 × 33%)
Retail Cost $0.67 (1 - 0.33)
Wholesale Margin 12%
Wholesale Profit $0.08 (0.67 × 12%)
Wholesale Cost $0.59 (0.67 - 0.08)
Manufacturers Selling Price per unit $0.59
Variable manufacturing cost per unit $0.09
Variable cost of commission per unit $0.06 (10% × 0.59)
Variable shipping cost brokerage etc $0.02
Total Variable cost per unit $0.17 (0.09+0.06+0.02)
Unit contribution of vita joy $0.42 (0.59 - 0.17)
2 Now Break even point in unit is
= Total Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution units
where,
Total fixed cost is
Fixed Manufacturing Cost $900,000
Advertising cost $500,000
Product manager's Salary and expenses $35,000
Total Fixed Costs $1,435,000
And, the contribution units is $0.42
So the break even point is
= $1,435,000 ÷ $0.42
= 3,416,667 units
