We would like to invest $10,000 into shares of companies XX and YY.
Shares of XX cost $20 per share. The market analysis shows that their expected return is $1 per share with a standard deviation of $0.5.
Shares of YY cost $50 per share, with an expected return of $2.50 and a standard deviation of $1 per share.
Returns from the two companies are independent. In order to maximize the expected return and minimize the risk (standard deviation or variance), is it better to invest
a. All $10,000 into XX
b. All $10,000 into YY
c. $5,000 into each company
Answer:
c. $5,000 into each company
Explanation:
Let X be the actual (random) return from each share of XX, and Y be the actual return from each share of YY. Computing the returns from each option:
A) Investing $10,000 into XX
Given that variance = (standard deviation)²
Since XX cost $20 per share, only 500 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 500 * E(x) = 500 * 1 = 500
Variance = 500² * Var(x) = 500² * 0.5² = 62500
B) Investing $10,000 into YY
Since YY cost $50 per share, only 200 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 200 * E(y) = 200 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 200² * Var(y) = 200² * 1² = 40000
C) Investing $5,000 into each company
Since XX cost $20 per share and YY cost $50 per share, only 250 shares of XX and 100 shares of YY can be bought.
Expected value = 250 * E(x) + 100 * E(y) = 250 * 1 + 100 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 250² * Var(x) + 100² * Var(y) = 250² * 0.5² + 100² * 1 = 25625
Since all options have the same expected return, but option C has the lowest variance hence it is the least riskiest. So the best option is C
Brews 4 U is a local chain of coffee shops. Managers are interested in the costs of the stores and believe that the costs can be explained in large part by the number of customers patronizing the stores. Monthly data regarding customer visits and costs for the preceding year for one of the stores have been entered into the regression analysis.
Average monthly customer-visits 1,462
Average monthly total costs $4,629
Regression results: Intercept $1,496
b coefficient $2.08
R2 0.86814
Required:
a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?
b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?
c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?
d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?
e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?
Answer:
Explanation:
a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?
Here, b is the slope and best described as the estimate of the cost when there's a visit of an additional customer.
b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?
The letter y is the observed store cost for that particular month.
c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?
The letter x is the observed customer visit for that particular month.
d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?
The estimated cost for 370 customer visit will be:
Y = a + bx
where,
a =$1496
b = $2.08
x = 370 customer visit
Y = $1496 + ($2.08 × 370 customer visit)
= $1496 + $769.6
= $2265.6
e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?
The percent of total variance which the regression equation explain will be:
R2 = 0.86814 or 86.814%
Firms face competing pressures in the marketplace-how to achieve lower costs through proven approaches to production, while looking at how to maximize their effectiveness in local markets. A firm's choice of strategy must reflect these pressures, and the firm knows that the dynamics of competition may require changes in strategy. Pressures for local responsiveness mean that a firm may not be able to realize the full benefits from economies of scale, learning effects, and location economies. Customization of products brings benefits, but it also limits the firm's ability to realize significant scale economies and location economies. Companies generally choose from four main strategic postures: a global standardization strategy, a localization strategy, a transnational strategy, or an international strategy. The appropriateness of each strategy varies given the competitive realities and the firm's core competences.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
Your firm has been a leader in several lines of fast-moving consumer goods. The firm has been following a localization strategy. Your products have been distributed in a number of foreign markets and regions, and they are distinct enough in local markets to respond to national tastes and preferences. Competition, however, has become more intense, with many competitors using lower cost structures to undercut your prices and still satisfy your customers.
The firm must decide what kind of strategy it needs to follow to meet the demands of the local markets as well as the increased competitive pressures on cost.
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
b. monitor and adapt to changing customer tastes in a large number of foreign markets.
c. compete effectively in more than one international market.
Answer:
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
Explanation:
Company A can still meet the demands of the local markets and the competitive pressures it is facing by utilizing its core competences and deploring its products internationally. A hybrid of localization and international strategies would be more appropriate. This hybrid approach will enable the company "to realize the full benefits from economies of scale and learning effects, without losing on location economies," as desired in the case study.

Jeremy Pruitt Ltd is considering the replacement of a delivery truck. The current truck could last for 3 more years. Operating costs are 5000 per year. We are currently depreciating it at 4000 per year. We could sell it at the end of the 3 years for 2000 with a book value of zero. If we purchase the new truck for 32000, we could use three year MACRS. We could sell the old truck now for 7000. Operating costs would drop to 1000 per year. We can sell the new truck for 15000 at the end of the 3rd year. Tax rate is 40%, WACC is 10%. Should we replace the truck?
Answer: NPV = - 4433
As the NPV of the replacement project is negative,
the truck should not be replaced.
Explanation:
0 1 2 3
Savings in operating costs (5000-1000): 4000 4000 4000
Incremental depreciation:-
Depreciation on the new truck 10666 14224 4739
Depreciation on the old truck 4000 4000 4000
Incremental depreciation 6666 10224 739
Incremental NOI -2666 -6224 3261
Tax at 40% -1066 -2490 1304
Incremental NOPAT -1599 -3734 1956
Add: Incremental depreciation 6666 10224 739
Incremental OCF 5066 6490 2696
Capital expenditure:-
Cost of new truck 32000
Less: After tax salvage value of old
NOTE THAT, the book value = 4000*3 =
$12,000 (depreciation per annum is 4000
and three years life is left for the old machine)
truck = 7000 + (12000-7000) × 40% = 9000
Net initial investment 23000
Incremental terminal salvage value:-
After tax salvage value of new
truck = 15000 - (15000-2371)× 40% = 9948
Less: After tax salvage value lost on old
truck = 2000 × (1 - 40%) = 1200
Incremental net residual value 8748
After tax annual cash flows -23000 5066 6490 11444
PVIF at 10% 1 0.90909 0.82645 0.75131

g Jefferson & Sons purchase $5,000 of merchandise from the Claremont Company with terms of 3/10, n/30. How much discount is Jefferson & Sons entitled to take if it pays within the allowed discount period of 10 days
Answer:
Discount Received = $150
Explanation:
The terms of the purchase of inventory are 3/10, n/30 which means that Jefferson & Sons can avail a discount of 3% if they pay within the 10 days of purchase of merchandise and the total time allowed for payment for merchandise is 30 days.
If the payment is made within the discount period, Jefferson can avail a discount of,
Discount Received = 5000 * 3%
Discount Received = $150
Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $26,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $3,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Required:
a. What is the expected NPV of the project?
b. if Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000.
Answer:
$350
Explanation:
We can calculate the expected NPV by calculating the present value of future cash flows first and then deduct these cash flows from the initial investment.
DATA
Inital Investment = $ 20,000
cost of capital = 13%
Calculation
Expected Cash flow for year 1 = $ 26,000 x 40% = 10,400
Expected Cash flow for year 2 = $3,000 * 0.6 = 1800
Expected cash flow = 12,200
Present value of future cash flows = $12,200/1.13 + $12,200/(1.13)^2
Present value of future cash flows = $10,796 + $9,554
Present value of future cash flows = $20,350
Expected NPV of the project = Present value of future cash flows - Initial Investment
Expected NPV of the project = $20,350 - $20,000 = $350
Requirement B
Present value of future cashflows = 20350
Present value of renewal in year2 = 20,000/(1.13)^2 = $15,673
Inital = $20,000
NPV = 20,350 - 20,000 - 15,673
NPV = -15,323
At the beginning of 2020, Pronghorn Company acquired a mine for $1,732,800. Of this amount, $112,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,600,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Pronghorn incurred $190,400 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $44,800. During 2020, 2,718,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,310,000 of these units were sold.
Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Answer: a. $434880
b. $369,600
Explanation:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Depletion Rate can be calculated as:
= (Mine cost - Value of land + Obligation + Development cost)/Ore extracted
= ($1,732,800 - $112,000 + $44,800 + $190,400)/$11,600,000
= $1856000/$11600000
= 0.16
Total amount of depletion for 2020 will now be calculated as:
= Depletion Rate × Ore extracted
= 0.16 × 2,718,000
= $434880
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
This will be calculated as the totsl depletion for 2014 divided by the value of the amount of ore that was extracted multiplied with amount of unit sold. This will be:
= (434,880/2,718,000) × 2,310,000
= 0.16 × 2,310,000
= $369,600

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.39 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $92 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.55% annually. What is the company's cost of equity
Answer:
8.32 %
Explanation:
With the information provided, we can calculate the company's cost of equity by using the Dividend Growth Model.
Thus,
Cost of Equity = Dividend / Stock Price + Expected Growth
Therefore,
Cost of Equity = $4.39 / $92 + 3.55%
= 8.32 %

On January 1, 2021, the Moody Company entered into a transaction for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Osorio Company. To acquire these shares, Moody issued $400 in long-term liabilities and also issued 40 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Moody paid $20 to lawyers, accountants, and brokers for assistance in bringing about this acquisition. Another $15 was paid in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows:
Moody Osorio
Cash $180 $40
Receivables 810 180
Inventories 1,080 280
Land 600 360
Buildings (net) 1,260 440
Equipment (net) 480 100
Accounts payable (450) (80)
Long-term liabilities (1,290) (400)
Common stock ($1 par) (330)
Common stock ($20 par) (240)
Additional paid-in capital (1,080) (340)
Retained earnings (1,260) (340)
Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.
In Moody's appraisal of Osorio, three assets were deemed to be undervalued on the subsidiary's books: Inventory by $10, Land by $40, and Buildings by $60. Compute the amount of consolidated inventories at date of acquisition.
A. $1,080.
B. $1,420.
C. $1,065.
D. $1,425.
E. $1,440.
Answer:
$1,370
Explanation:
IFRS 3 states that Acquirer is deemed to have taken over the Assets and Liabilities at their Acquisition Fair Value in Acquired records.
Therefore,
We need to first revalue the Inventory shown in Osorio records upwards by $10.
Then we combine 100% of Moody`s Inventory with 100% of Osorio fair valued Inventory.
Calculation of Consolidated Inventory Balance
Moody`s Inventory $1,080
Osorio fair valued Inventory (280 + 10) $290
Inventory Balance $1,370

You hit the lottery! You get offered $10 million now or $1 million a year for 13 years. Assume a 3 percent interest rate. Which would you choose and why
Answer:
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million
Explanation:
To determine which option i would choose, i have to calculate the present value of the second option
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 13 = $1 million
I = 3%
Present value = $10,634,955
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million - $10,634,955 > $10,000,000
To find the PV 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.
3. Press compute
Option 2 should be considered since it contains more amount of present value as compared to option 1.
Calculation of the present value:
In option 1, it offered $10 million or $10,000,000
While in option 2, the interest rate is 3% and the time period is 13 years Also, the payment is $1 million
So here we need to determine the present value
PV = PMT x (1 - (1+i)-n / i )
PV = 1,000,000 x (1 - (1+0.03)-13 / 0.03 )
PV = 10,634,955.33
Based on this, the option 2 should be considered.

What is the contra-expense account?A contra expense account is a general ledger expense account that will intentionally have a credit balance instead of the debit balance that is typical for an expense account. In other words, this account's credit balance is contrary to or opposite of the usual debit balance for an expense account.
Another description of a contra expense account is an account that reduces or offsets the amounts reported in another general ledger expense account. Contra accounts are presented on the same financial statement as the associated account, typically appearing directly below it with a third line for the net amount. Accountants use contra accounts rather than reduce the value of the original account directly to keep financial accounting records clean.
Key examples of contra accounts include accumulated depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts.

NYJ, Inc. borrowed $800,000 on June 1, 2020, and signed a nine-month note bearing interest at 5%. Principal and interest are payable in full at maturity. In connection with this note, NYJ, Inc. should record interest expense in 2021 in the amount of:
Answer:
Interest expense of $23333.33 should be recorded in 2021 along with a liability of interest payable of $23333.33
Explanation:
The interest expense should be recorded in accordance with the accrual principle of accounting. The accrual or matching principle states that the expenses and revenues should be matched and should be recorded in the period to which they relate to rather then when the cash is paid or received.
Thus, the interest expense relating to 7 months from June 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as interest expense and interest payable in2021.
Interest expense for 7 months = 800000 * 0.05 * 7/12 = $23333.33
The December 31, 2015, balance sheet of Schism, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,405,000, $141,000 in the common stock account, and $2,660,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2016, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,590,000, $151,000 in the common stock account, and $2,960,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2016 income statement showed an interest expense of $94,500 and the company paid out $146,000 in cash dividends during 2016. The firm’s net capital spending for 2016 was $970,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $126,000.
What was the firm's 2016 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer: $589,500
Explanation:
The cash flow to the creditors in 2016 will be calculated as:
= $94,500 – ($1,590,000 - $1,405,000)
= $94,500 – $1,590,000 + $1,405,000
= -$90,500
For the shareholders, the cash flow in 2016 will be:
= $146,000 – [($151,000 + $2,960,000) – ($141,000 + $2,660,000)]
= -$164,000
Capital spending = $970,000
Cash flow due to the net working capital investment = -$126,000
OCF
= -$90,500 + (-$164,000) + $970,000 + (-$126,000)
= $589,500
