Answer: D. Private firms seek to establish political ties with the government to increase market value and avoid potential conflict between the principals.
Explanation:
Corporate governance refers to a system of policies and rules, which dictate how the operations of an organization are manageed. The statements that are true about corporate governance in China include:
• The state still uses direct and/or indirect controls to influence the strategies employed by most firms.
• The Chinese governance system may be tilting toward the Western model.
• Firms with higher state ownership tend to have lower market value and more volatility in those values over time.
Therefore, the answer to the question will be option D as it's not true about corporate governance in China.
Assume a portfolio is worth $70,000, consisting of X, Y, and cash. Also assume you invested $35,000 in X, $14,000 in Y and the rest in cash, and that X and Y have betas of 1.45 and 0.80 respectively. Calculate the portfolio beta. (Provide numerical answer to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
0.885
Explanation:
Beta measures systemic risk. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio
weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock
Percentage of x = $35,000 / 70,000 = 0.5 = 50%
Percentage of y = $14,000 / 70,000 = 0.2 = 20%
Percentage of cash = 100 - (50 + 20) = 30%
Cash usually have a beta of zero
portfolio beta = (0.5 x 1.45) + (0.2 x 0.8) + (0.3 x 0) =
0.725 + 0.16 + 0 = 0.885
0.725
0.16
"You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.05 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?"
Answer: 1.95
Explanation:
The beta for the other stock in the portfolio will be calculated thus:
Portfolio Beta = (BetaA × WeightA) + (BetaB × WeightB) + (BetaC × WeightC)
= (BetaA × 1/3) + (1.05 × 1/3) + (0 × 1/3)
= (BetaA × 1/3) + 0.35 + 0
Beta A = 1-0.35 × 3
Beta A = 0.65 × 3
Beta A = 1.95
4. Suppose that the exchange rate adjusts so that interest-rate parity holds. Further, suppose the interest rate on a one-year South Koran bond is 6 percent and the interest rate on a one-year U.S. bond is 2 percent. a) If you expect the exchange rate in one year to be 1,100 South Korean won per USD, what is the exchange rate today
Answer:
The exchange rate today is 1,058.5
Explanation:
Interest rate on 1 year South Korean bond = 6% or 0.06
Interest rate on 1 year U.S. bond = 2% or 0.02
Expected Exchange rate in 1 year = 1,100 South Korean won per USD. Let the Exchange rate today = x
[(Interest rate on South Korean bond - Interest rate on U.S. bond)/(1 + Interest rate on 1 year U.S. bond)] + 1 = (Expected Exchange rate in 1 year)/(Expected Exchange rate today)
[(0.06 - 0.02)/(1 + 0.02)] + 1 = 1,100/x
x = [0.04/1.02] + 1 = 1,100/x
x = 1,100/1.0392
x = 1,058.50
So therefore, the exchange rate today is 1,058.5

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce
Answer: 10 bushels
Explanation:
If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:
= 100 / 100
= 1 work hour
For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:
= 25 / 100
= 0.25 bushels of corn
If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.
Bushels of corn produced is therefore:
= 40 * 0.25
= 10 bushels
On January 1, a company issued and sold a $399,000, 9%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $394,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The journal entry to record the first interest payment is:

Interest expense = $17,955+$250 = $18,205
Date Journal Entry Debit Credit
Interest Expense $18,205
Discount on bonds payable $250

Fixed costs are $1500000 and the variable costs are 75% of the unit selling price. What is the break-even point in dollars?
Answer:
$6,000,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the break-even point in dollars
Using this formula
Break-even point (Dollars)=Fixed costs/(1-Variable costs percentage of unit selling price)
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/ (1-.75)
Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/.25
Break-even point (Dollars)=$6,000,000
Therefore the break-even point in dollars is $6,000,000
The discount rate used to calculate the net present value of a capital budgeting project should be: a. The risk-free rate. b. The weighted average cost of capital. c. LIBOR. d. The internal rate of return.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Capital budgeting is the determination of the profitability of proposed investments
One of the capital budgeting methods is the net present value
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
the Weighted cost of capital is used to determine NPV
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
It is the minimum rate of return a company expects from a project
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. It is a captial budgeting method

Suppose the company incurs fixed costs of $420,000 during a year in which total production is 189,000 units. What are the total costs for the year? c. If the selling price is $8.55 per unit, what is the NSI break-even on a cash basis? d. If depreciation is $94,500 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?"
Answer:
Night Shades Inc. (NSI)
a. The variable cost per unit is:
= $3.02.
b. The total costs for the year is:
= $990,780.
c. The NSI break-even on a cash basis is:
= $503,091.
d. The accounting break-even point is:
= $647,150.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable costs per unit:
Materials = $1.12
Labor = 1.90
Total = $3.02
Total production units = 189,000
Total variable costs = $570,780
Fixed costs = $420,000
Total costs = $990,780
Per unit:
Selling price = $8.55
Variable costs 3.02
Contribution $5.53
Contribution margin in percentage = $5.53/$8.55 * 100 = 64.7%
Fixed costs on cash basis = FC - Depreciation = $325,500 ($420,000 - $94,500)
Break-even point on a cash basis = $325,5000/0.647 = $503,091
Break-even point in sales dollars = $420,000/0.647 = $647,150

Claremont Company specializes in selling refurbished copiers. During the month, the company sold 220 copiers for total sales of $836,000. The budget for the month was to sell 215 copiers at an average price of $4,000. The sales price variance for the month was:
Answer:
$44,000 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Given the above information, sales price variance is computed as
= (Actual sales price - Standard/Budgeted sales price) × Actual units sold
Actual sales price = $836,000/220 = $3,800
Standard sales price = $4,000
Actual units sold = 220
= ($3,800 - $4,000) × 220
= $44,000 Unfavourable
The above is unfavourable sales price variance because you can sell the copier at a higher price of $4,000 than the actual price of $3,800

Castille Corp. purchases, for $600,000, land upon which a building and a dilapidated shed are situated. Castille plans to use the building as-is for operations but immediately razes the shed at a cost of $5,000 minus scrap recovery of $1,000. A recent tax appraisal of the property allocated $100,000 to the land and $400,000 to the building. In the entry to record the acquisition of the property, at what amount will Castille debit Land
Answer:
$120,800
Explanation:
Give that;
Cost of land = $600,000
Associated expenses :
Razing down the shed = $5,000
Income from scrap = $1,000
Total expenses = $4,000
The total cost of the land would be;
Total cost of land = Cost of land + Total expense
= $600,000 + $4,000
= $604,000
Tax allocation: land and building = $500,000
Land allocation will now be
= 100,000/500,000 × $604,000
= 0.2 × $604,000
= $120,800
John Company could buy a machine that costs $72,000. It is estimated that it earn nothing until year five, then earn $150,000 in year 5. If the discount figures are .567 for cash received at the end of five years and 3.605 for payments received every year for five years, what is the net present value for this machine
Answer:
$13,050
Explanation:
Net present value is a method of capital budgeting.
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Net present value = (cash flow in year 5 x year 5 discount rate) - Initial Investment
($150,000 x 0.567) - $72,000
85,050 - $72,000 = $13,050

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 100,800 chefs/head cooks employed in the United States in 2010 and 320,900 food service managers. Those numbers were projected to decrease to 98,800 and 311,000 by 2020. Which job was facing the larger percent decrease
Answer:
Foodservice managers
Explanation:
Considering the data available in the question we have the following:
In 2010 => Chefs / head cooks - 100,800 personnel
In 2010 => Foodservice managers = 320,900 personnel
In 2020 => Chefs/head cooks = 98,800
In 2020 => Foodservice managers = 311,000
The difference in chefs/head cooks = 100,800 - 98,000 = 2,000
While that of Food service managers = 320,900 - 311,000 = 9,900
Hence, percentage for chefs / head cooks = 2000/108900 = 1.98% decrease
Percentage of fold service managers = 9900/320900 = 3.09% decrease.
Hence, in this case, Foodservice managers facing a larger percentage decrease.

Braden and Sons, Inc., paid cash to purchase equipment costing $342,000 this year. Also this year, the company sold for $70,000 cash equipment that originally cost $230,000 5 years ago. How should these transactions be listed in the statement of cash flows
Answer:
The purchases and the sales of equipment must be shown separately as a decrease to cash for $342,000 (purchase) and an increase of $70,000 (sale).
Explanation:
Since the cash is paid for purchased an equipment so the same should be shown in the investing activities as the cash outflow and the company sold $70,000 cash equipment so this also to be shown as the investing activities as the cash inflow
Therefore the last option is correct
In listing these transactions in the Statement of Cash Flows, the proper thing to do is: The purchases and the sales of equipment must be shown separately as a decrease to cash for $342,000 (purchase) and an increase of $70,000 (sale).
The Statement of Cashflows:
Shows the cash transactions of a company Can only show transactions involving actual cashThe amount that was used to purchase equipment was in cash so this will reduce the amount of cash that the company has.
The cash received from the sale of the equipment will be an increase in the company's cash. The previous price of the equipment is irrelevant because it does not involve cash.
In conclusion, the cash made should be added and the cash spent should be deducted.
