You have the following rates of return for a risky portfolio for several recent years. Assume that the stock pays no dividends. Year Beginning of Year Price # of Shares Bought or Sold 2011 $50.00 100 Bought 2012 $55.00 50 Bought 2013 $51.00 75 Sold 2014 $54.00 75 Sold What is the geometric average return for the period?
Answer:
The geometric average return for the period 2.60%.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the return for each year.
In the attached excel file, return is calculated using the following formula:
Return = (Current year price - Previous year price) / Previous year price
The formula for calculating the geometric average return is given as follows:
Geometric average return = [(1 + R1)(1 + R2)(1 + R3)...(1 + Rn)]^(1/n) – 1 ……….. (1)
Where;
Ri = Return over the years I, where i = 1, 2, 3, …. n
n = number of years = 3
R1 = 2012 return = 0.10
R2 = 2013 return = -0.0727272727272727
R3 = 0.0588235294117647
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = ((1 + 0.10)(1 - 0.0727272727272727)(1 + 0.0588235294117647))^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = (1.10 * 0.927272727272727 * 1.0588235294117647)^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = 1.07999999999999^0.333333333333333 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.02598556800602 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.02598556800602 = 0.0260, or 2.60%
Therefore, the geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

Luke offered to sell his farm to Kent at $75,000, an offer which Kent declined. A week later, Luke offered to sell the farm for $65,000, stating that it was the final offer, it was valid for one month, and that he would not alter it. Two days later, Kent replied by saying that he was willing to pay $60,000 for the farm. A week after Luke received Kent's offer, Luke declined it. Ten days after that, Kent agreed to buy the farm for $65,000, but Luke refused to sell the farm. Kent decided to sue Luke for a breach of contract. The judge ruled in favor of Luke. Which one of the following is the reason for the ruling in Luke's favor?
a. Luke's original offer of $75,000 is still valid, even though rejected.
b. Kent acted in an incompetent manner with regards to the offer.
c. Kent's acceptance was past the set time period in the offer.
d. Kent's counteroffer of $60,000 had rendered the offer for $65,000 invalid.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
Kent's counteroffer of $60,000 had rendered the offer for $65,000 invalid
Reason- Whenever a counteroffer is made, it voids the earlier offers That's because real estate laws in all 50 states say that a seller who makes a written counteroffer automatically renders the buyer's original offer null and void.
At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 67,000 units and transferred 72,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 11,500 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
B) 65,275 materials; 62,400 conversion
C) 64,450 materials; 69,550 conversion
D) 77,175 materials; 79,400 conversion
E) 77,175 materials; 76,850 conversion
Answer:
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
Explanation:
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Raw Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 85%) = 9,775
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 82,275
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 60%) = 6,900
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 79,400
Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)
= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600

CVP, Not for profit Monroe Classical Music Society is a not-for-profit organization that brings guest artists to the community’s greater metropolitan area. The Music Society just bought a small concert hall in the center of town to house its performances. The mortgage payments on the concert hall are expected to be $2,000 per month. The organization pays its guest performers $1,000 per concert and anticipates corresponding ticket sales to be $2,500 per event. The Music Society also incurs costs of approximately $500 per concert for marketing and advertising. The organization pays its artistic director $50,000 per year and expects to receive $40,000 in donations in addition to its ticket sales.Required1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the breakeven point? The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the breakeven point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
Answer:
1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?
break even = $34,000 / $1,000 = 34 concerts per year
2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the break even point?
break even = $74,000 / $1,000 = 74 concerts per year
The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?
loss = (60 x $1,000) - $74,000 = $60,000 - $74,000 = -$14,000
3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the break even point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
break even = $54,000 / $1,000 = 54 concerts per year
Explanation:
fixed costs = $24,000 (mortgage) + $50,000 (artistic director) = $74,000
variable costs per concert = $1,000 (artist) - $500 (marketing) = $1,500
revenue = $2,500 per concert
contribution margin per concert = $2,500 - $1,500 = $1,000
other revenues = $40,000 per year
net fixed costs = $74,000 - $40,000 = $34,000

How much will the company have to receive in annual payments for 4 years, provided it will also receive a final lump sum payment after 4 years in the amount of $800,000? The MARR is 10% per year on its investment
Answer:
We are going to receive annual payment of $395,471
Explanation:
We solve for the present value of the lump-sum today:
PRESENT VALUE OF LUMP SUM
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]

c. $133200
d. $157200
Answer:Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of =d. $157200
Explanation:
Since there are 5 workdays in a week
we consider First, Workdays Biweekly (Two weeks)
= 5 work days per week X 2 = 10 days
then the Remaining work days in 2020 for December 29,30 and 31 = 3 days
Accrued salaries = Recurring biweekly salaries/10 days X 3 days + Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20
$444,000/10 days x 3 days + $24000
$133,200 +$24000
= $157,200
There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to find the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters...but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of 7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of 3mm.
[ Select] What is the Cpk of machine 1?
[Select] What is the Cpk of machine 2?
[ Select] If your goal is to be capable', what would you do?
[ Select] If (somehow) you could combine the best of both machines (the centering or average of machine 1 coupled with the constancy or standard deviation of machine 2, what would the Cpk be?
Answer:
Machine 1 = 0.092
Machine 2 = 0.111
Combined = 0.222
Explanation:
Given the following :
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 46 mm
Upper specification limit (USL) = 50 mm
MACHINE 1:
Mean 1 (m1) = 48
Standard deviation 1 (σ1) = 0.7
MACHINE 2:
Mean 2 (m2) = 47
Standard deviation 2 (σ2) = 0.3
Cpk formula:
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
USLcpk = (USL - m) / 3σ
LSLcpk = (m - LSL) / 3σ
FOR MACHINE 1:
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(7) = 0.0952
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(7) = 0.0952
Cpk = Min(0.952, 0.952) = 0.952
FOR MACHINE 2:
USLcpk = (50 - 47) / 3(3) = 0.333
LSLcpk = (47 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.111
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.333, 0.111) = 0.111
When combined :
Mean = 48
σ = 3
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(3) = 0.222
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.222
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.222, 0.222) = 0.222
Hector was prosecuted following police seizure of 80 pounds of drugs from his airplane. The seizure was held to be unlawful, the evidence was sup- pressed, and the suit against Hector was dismissed. He sued the government officials involved in his arrest and prosecution to recover $3,500 in bail bond expenses, $23,000 in attorney's fees, and $2,000 in travel costs. The district court held he could not recover the costs incurred during the criminal prosecution. Hector appealed. Can he recover the costs? (Hector v. Watt, 235 F.3d 154, 3rd Cir. (2000)]
Answer:
Hector will lose.
Explanation:
If someone suffers an illegal search or seizure, he/she can recover any costs associated with that incident, e.g. property damage, injuries (both physical or to their reputation, lawyers, etc.). But if the illegal search actually results in some criminal evidence being discovered, then you cannot recover any costs. Anything seized illegally will be dismissed, but the reward is not going to jail even if they committed a crime, they get no money back.
Why only ask for a refund of his lawyer's fees, he should also ask for a refund for the value of the drugs? This lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous.

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion."

Tasty Subs acquired a delivery truck on October 1, 2021, for $25,600. The company estimates a residual value of $1,600 and a six-year service life. Required: Calculate depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end.
Answer:
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation for depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022
Using this formula
Depreciation = ( Cost − Residual Value )/
Useful Life
Where,
Cost of Truck on October 1,2021= $25,600
Residual Value = $1,600
Useful life of truck = 6 years service life
Let plug in the formula
2021
Depreciation Expense = $25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years * 3/12
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Note October 1 to 31 December 2021 will give us 3 months
2022
Depreciation Expense=$25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Therefore the Depreciation Expense for 2021 will be $1,000 while the Depreciation Expense for 2022 will be $4,000
Triec, Inc., is a small electrical contracting company in Springfield, Ohio, owned by its executives Yeazell, Jones, and Heaton. Employees contacted the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which began an organizing drive, and 6 of the 11 employees in the bargaining unit signed authorization cards. The company declined to recognize the union, which petitioned the NLRB to schedule an election. The company then granted several new benefits for all workers, including higher wages, paid vacations, and other measures. When the election was held, only 2 of the 11 bargaining unit members voted for the union. Did the company violate the NLRA?
Answer:
Triec, inc., violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because it directly interfered with the organization of a union within the company.
The NLRA allows private employees to join or form a union, and the company cannot interfere in any of these. E.g. a company cannot fire or punish in any way an employee for joining a union. A company cannot interfere with the creation of a union.
In this case, the company granted the new benefits in order to convince its workers to not form the union.
The stock of Static Corporation has a beta of 0.7. If the expected return on the market increases by 6%, the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by
Answer: 4.2%
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of sensitivity of a stock in that it measures how the stock reacts to a movement in market return. The Beta of the Market is 1.
If a Stock's Beta is 2, this means that if expected market return increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 2%. If a Stock's beta is 0.5 then if the expected return on the market increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 0.5%.
In this case the expected return on the market increases by 6% so the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by;
= 0.7 * 6%
= 4.2%
