Answer:
0.60 or 60%
Explanation:
Calculation of weight of the portfolio
Assume that the weight is x
x*[Beta of stock) + (1+x)*(Beta of Tbills) = 1
x * (1.68) + (1-x)*(0) = 1
1.68x + (1-x)*0 = 1
1.68x + 0 = 1
x = [1/1.68]
x = 0.5952
x = 0.60 or 60%
So, the weight of the portfolio that should be invested in the Treasury Bill is 0.60 or 60%.

Answer:
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800
Explanation:
We need to calculate the cash collection for each month of the third quarter:
Cash collection July:
Sales from June= 128,000*0.45= 57,600
Sales from July= 148,000*0.50= 74,000
Total cash collection July= $131,600
Cash collection August:
Sales from July= 148,000*0.45= 66,600
Sales from August= 168,000*0.5= 84,000
Total cash collection August= $150,600
Cash collection September:
Sales from August= 168,000*0.45= 75,600
Sales from September= 158,000*0.5= 79,000
Total cash collection September= $154,600
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800

Concord Corporation manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $125 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would increase by $23000.
b. Income would increase by $125000.
c. Income would decrease by $23000.
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Answer:
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Explanation:
Concord Corporation received a special order to sell 1,000 units at $125 each.
Incremental Sales Revenue = 1,000 * $125
Incremental Sales Revenue = $125,000
Variable Cost per unit = $100
Fixed manufacturing cost = $480,000
To produce required additional units, there will be no change in fixed manufacturing costs. So, cost to produce additional units will change on account of variable manufacturing cost only.
Incremental Cost = $100 * 1,000
Incremental Cost = $100,000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Sales Revenue - Incremental Cost
Incremental Net Income = $125,000 - $100,000
Incremental Net Income = $25,000

You purchased 100 shares of Crestwood Equity Partners (CEQP) stock on the last day of April 2020 for $10.94 per share. During the month of May you received a dividend of $0.625 per share. You sold all of your Crestwood stock on the last trading day of May for $14.21 per share. Compute your percentage return for the month that you owned the stock.
Answer:
the percentage return is 35.60%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage return is shown below;
= (Last trading day on may - last day of april + dividend received) ÷ (last day of april) ×100
= ($14.21 - $10.94 + $0.625) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= ($3.895) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= 35.60%
Hence, the percentage return is 35.60%

Intermediate targets can be defined as financial and economic variables which aren't directly under the control of the Federal Reserve (central bank) but they try to use them to influence policy actions or goals within a specific period of time.
Hence, intermediate targets are financial or economic variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.

Required: Compute the following financial data and ratios:
1. Working capital.
2. Current Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
3. Acid-Test Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
4. Debt-to-equity Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
5. Times interest earned Ratio (2 decimal places)
6. Average collection period (days)
7. Average sale period (days)
8. Operating cycle (Days; round intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Working capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities
= $569,000 - $280,000
= $289,000
2.
Current ratio = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability
= $569,000 ÷ $280,000
= 2.03
3.
Acid-test (quick) ratio = {(Current Asset - Inventory - prepaid expense) ÷ Current Liabilities }
= {{$569,000- $320,000 - $8,000) ÷ ($280,000)}
= 0.86 times
4.
Debt-Equity ratio = Total Liability ÷ Shareholders' Equity
= $670,000 ÷ $759,000
= 0.88 times
5.
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ Interest Charges
= ($1,224,000 + $35,100) ÷ ($35,100)
= 35.87 times
6.
Average collection period
= 365 ÷ ($3,010,00 ÷ $215,000)
= 26 days
The $215,000 comes from
= ($210,000 + $220,000) ÷ 2
= $215,000
7. The average sales period is
= 365 ÷ ($1,110,000 ÷ $300,000)
= 99 days
The $300,000 comes from
= ($280,000 + $320,000) ÷ 2
= $300,000
8. The operating cycle is
= 99 days - 26 days
= 73 days
Wall Street bond trader turned on the television one day and saw a news report accusing him of committing a large securities scam. This trader learned that his employer had accused him of creating $300 million of phony profits and, as a result, getting bogus bonuses of $8 million. He claimed he was innocent, and it took about three years for him to prove his innocence. In the months that followed the accusations, he was investigated by the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the Justice Department. Three years later, the bond trader was cleared of all major charges brought against him
Required:
a. Assume that you are the employer. What type of legal action would you seek against this bond trader? Why?
b. To what type of court would your case most likely be assigned? Why?
Answer:
A. From a civil standpoint, I will report the body of proof against the bond broker. Once the dissension has been brought to the attention of the offending party, a standard legal procedure will be followed. The protest will go into detail about the offence as well as monetary provisions for the damage suffered.
B. The case will most likely be signed to the district courts in which the company is registered.
Dennis wants to determine if the discount rate really makes any difference in the net present value of a project. He feels that if a project is acceptable at one rate of return, it will be acceptable at all rates of return. To explain why his thinking is incorrect, you are creating an example to illustrate your point. The cash flows you are using are as follows: time zero is -$71,000, years 1 through 4 are $17,500 each, and years 5 and 6 are $22,500 each. What is net present value at a discount rate of 12 percent and 17 percent
Answer:
$6319,92
$-3959.52
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$71,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 2 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 4 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 5 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 6 = $22,500
NPV when I is 12% = $6319,92
NPV when I is 17% = $-3959.52
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400
Lily Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $30,000 April $20,000 May $30,000 June $25,000 The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 30% in the month of sale, 70% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is: A. $12,240 B. $12,600 C. $20,400 D. $21,000
Answer:
B. $12,600
Explanation:
"The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash"
Credit sale for May = $30,000 * 60%
Credit sale for May = $18,000
"70% of the credit sale is collected in following month of sale"
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% of credit sale for May
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% * $18,000
Accounts receivables on 31 May = $12,600
Quan Enterprises purchased and consumed 56,000 gallons of direct material that was used in the production of 15,000 finished units of product. According to engineering specifications, each finished unit had a manufacturing standard of four gallons. If a review of Quan's accounting records at the end of the period disclosed a material price variance of $5,600U and a material quantity variance of $2,800F, what is the actual price paid for a gallon of direct material
Answer:
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance = Direct Material Price Variance + Direct Material Quantity Variance
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance = $5,600U + (-$2,800F)
Total Direct Materials cost Variance = $2,800 Unfavorable
Direct Material cost Variance = (Actual rate * Actual quantity) - (Standard Rate * Standard Quantity)
$2,800 U = (AR*56000) - (SR * (15,000*5)
$2,800 U = (AR*56000) - (SR * 75000)
We need Standard Price per Gallon to calculate the actual price paid for a gallon of direct material. But, we have no information about it.
