Answer:
The firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the 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.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The equity beta refers to a beta that considers different levels of debt of a firm. The equity beta is also known as the levered beta or the project beta. The equity beta is therefore different from the asset beta.
Asset beta refers to a beta does not consider debt and assume that the firm uses only equity financing. Asset beta is known as unlevered beta.
The Firm’s equity can be calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of average unlevered beta of the firm
Unlevered beta = Levered beta / (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) ……… (1)
Where for UPS;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 0.80
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $5 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $65 * 0.7 billion = $45.50 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
UPS unlevered beta = 0.80 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (5 / 45.50))) = 0.720792079207921 = 0.72
Where for FedEx;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 1.10
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $3 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $55 * 250 million = $13.75 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FedEx unlevered beta = 1.10 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (3 / 13.75))) = 0.902985074626866 = 0.90
Therefore, firm’s averaged unlevered beta can be calculated as follows:
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = (UPS unlevered beta + FedEx unlevered beta) / 2 = (0.72 + 0.90) / 2 = 0.81
Step 2: Calculation of firm’s levered beta
Firms’ levered beta = Firm’s averaged unlevered beta * (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) …….. (2)
Where;
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = 0.81
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of risk-free debt = $20 million
Equity = Market value of equity = $450 million
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Firms’ levered beta = 0.81 * (1 + ((1 - 0) * (20 / 450))) = 0.846 = 0.85
Since from the definitions above, the equity beta is also known as the levered beta, the firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answer:
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.
A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.

Gnomes R Us just paid a dividend of $1.90 per share. The company has a dividend payout ratio of 25 percent. If the PE ratio is 16.9 times, what is the stock price
Answer:
Stock price=$128.44
Explanation:
Calculation for stock price
First step is to calculate for dividend payout ratio using this formula
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Earnings
Let plug in the formula
Earnings=($1.90/0.25)
Earnings=$7.6
Now let calculate for PE ratio using this formula
PE ratio=Stock price/EPS
Let plug in the formula
Stock price=$7.6*16.9times
Stock price=$128.44
Therefore Stock price will be $128.44
Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 21%
Salary Raise = $10000
Annual after-tax cost to Idaho :
Salary raise ( 1 - marginal tax rate)
$10000 ( 1 - 21%)
$10000( 1 - 0.21)
$10000 - $2100
= $7,900
A financial instrument just paid the investor $100 last year. If the cash flow is expected to last forever and increase each year at 3%, and with a discount rate of 8%, what should be the price that you are willing to pay for this instrument
Answer:
Price willing to pay = $2,060
Explanation:
Given:
Cash flow paid = $100
Growth rate (g) = 3% = 0.03
Discount rate (d) = 8% = 0.08
Find:
Price willing to pay
Computation:
Price willing to pay = [(100)(1+0.03)] / [0.08-0.03]
Price willing to pay = 103 / 0.05
Price willing to pay = $2,060
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
this case tells us about some sort of pressures that accounts feel when financial statements are needed urgently
Explanation:
1) As for using low estimates, this step was wrong on her part. she should have been upfront in her estimates. for the items that she could not estimate there should have been an indication that such items were still under review, instead of doing what she did to give the financial estimate a good look. Using guesses or deliberately using low estimates was a bad idea, GAAP would never condone that.
She should have met with the president and let him know that finalization of the financial statements would not possible within the time frame that he has given. She could have also explain that such delays are normal and she would have given estimates of when the draft internal copy would be made available to him. such steps she took could have resulted in serious consequences for the company
2) I would not inflate or deflate the figures on purpose to make financial statements look better. If it is time to present the draft and final year-end financial statements I will have to tell the truth on the numbers and estimations used and also the reasons for that. i would have explained the constraints that i was facing. if i was still being pressurized by the president, i would have no choice than to call it quits instead of going against the ethics of my profession, since there are both ethical and legal implications to not giving inaccurate financial statements.

Mr. and Mrs. Revel had $206,200 AGI before considering capital gains and losses. Required: For each of the following cases, compute their AGI:
a. On May 8, they recognized an $8,900 short-term capital gain. On June 25, they recognized a $15,000 long-term capital loss.
b. On February 11, they recognized a $2,100 long-term capital gain. On November 3, they recognized a $1,720 long-term capital loss.
c. On April 2, they recognized a $5,000 long-term capital loss. On September 30, they recognized a $4,800 short-term capital loss.
d. On January 12, they recognized a $5,600 short-term capital loss. On July 5, they recognized a $1,500 long-term capital gain.
Answer:
For 2020 the maximum capital loss deductible from taxable income is $3,000 and this applies when capital losses exceed capital gains.
a. Net Gain = 8,900 - 15,000
= -$6,100
Their AGI will be;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
b. Net Gain = 2,100 - 1,720
= $380
AGI;
= 206,200 + 380
= $206,580
c. Net Gain = - 5,000 - 4,800
= -$9,800
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
d. Net Gain = 1,500 - 5,600
= -$4,100
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
The computation of Mr. and Mrs. Revel's AGI after inputting capital gains and losses are as follows:
Situation AGI Before Net Capital Gain AGI After
a. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
b. $206,200 $380 $206,580
c. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
d. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
Data and Calculations:
The AGI of Mr. and Mrs Revel before Capital Gains and Losses = $206,200
Case A:
Short-term capital gain = $8,900
Long-term capital loss = $15,000
Net capital gain = ($6,100)
Maximum capital loss allowed in the year = $3,000
Balance carried forward = $3,100 ($6,100 - $3,000)
Case B:
Long-term capital gain =$2,100
Long-term capital loss = $1,720
Net capital gain = $380
Case C:
Long-term capital loss = $5,000
Short-term capital loss = $4,800
Net capital loss = $9,800
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward = $6,800 ($9,800 - $3,000)
Case D:
Short-term capital loss = $5,600
Long-term capital gain = $1,500
Net capital loss = $4,100
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward =$1,100 ($4,100 - $3,000)

Eduardo has been reading about the use of drone technology in recent military conflicts and is not quite sure what to think. On the one hand, the use of drones means that military missions can be executed without putting American lives at risk. On the other hand, this very fact means that our political leaders might be quicker to resort to military solutions when other solutions might be available. Eduardo is also concerned about other effects of fully mechanized battle operations. For instance, unlike a human soldier, a drone can neither hear nor sympathize with a mother pleading for the life of her innocent child. Eduardo has decided to research the topic of military drones in more detail and write an essay in which he decides whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action. Which type of argument will Eduardo be making?
a. Argument of fact
b. Argument of definition
c. Argument of evaluation
d. Policy argument
Answer:
c. Argument of evaluation
Explanation:
Eduardo will be making a decision on "whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action." This is a judgement call. And he will be determining whether or not drone usage is good or bad. So this is purely an argument of evaluation. The argument is not of fact or definition or a policy argument, but one in which he will establish his opinion on the issue of the use of drone technology in the military.

Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer: $7,688
True Cash balance = Unadjusted cash balance + Interest earned + Note received from Nickleson by bank - NSF (Non-sufficient funds) check - bank charges
= 7,176 + 14 + 600 - 67 - 35
= $7,688
Outstanding checks and deposits in transit do not need to be accounted for as they are already included in the unadjusted book balance.
TeleGlobal is an American firm producing TV sets. TeleGlobal imports TV set components from Taiwan and assemb them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a TV set sells for $500 and that 80% of the TV set's value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 30% tariff on TV sets and a 10% tariff on the TV set's components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States a Taiwan. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that TeleGlobal receives from the tariff is:__________.
a. -17.5%
b. 70.0%
c. 110.0%
d. 24.4%
e. 47.5%
Answer:
The right choice is Option c (110.0%).
Explanation:
⇒ [tex]Effective \ rate \ of \ protection = tariff \ rate \ on \ imported \ finished \ good + price \ of \ Component\times \frac{(tariff \ on \ imported \ good- tariff \ on \ imported \ component)}{(Price \ of \ finished \ good - Price \ of \ components)}[/tex]
On estimating the values, we get
⇒ = [tex]30 \ percent + (80 \ percent\times 500)\times \frac{(30 \ percent - 10 \ percent)}{500-80 \ percent\times 500}[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]110 \ percent[/tex]
Note: percent = %
A competitive firm maximizes profit by choosing a level of output where the world price is equal to the firm's
Answer: c. Marginal Cost
Explanation:
A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.
P = MR = AR
Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.
If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.

Julie Brown is a single woman in her late 20s. She is renting an apartment in the fashionable part of town for $1,000 a month. After much thought, she's seriously considering buying a condominium for $175,000. She intends to put 20 percent down and expects that closing costs will amount to another $5,000; a commercial bank has agreed to lend her money at the fixed rate of 6 percent on a 15-year mortgage. Julie would have to pay an annual condominium owner's insurance premium of $560 and property taxes of $1,000 a year (she's now paying renter's insurance of $550 per year). In addition, she estimates that annual maintenance expenses will be about 0.5 percent of the price of the condo (which includes a $30 monthly fee to the property owners' association). Julie's income puts her in the 25 percent tax bracket (she itemizes her deductions on her tax returns), and she earns an after-tax rate of return on her investments of around 4 percent.
Required:
a. Evaluate and compare Julie’s alternatives of remaining in the apartment or purchasing the condo.
b. Working with a friend who is a realtor, Julie has learned that condos like the one that she’s thinking of buying are appreciating in value at the rate of 3.5 percent a year and are expected to continue doing so. Would such information affect the rent-or-buy decision made in a?
c. Discuss any other factors that should be considered when making a rent-or-buy decision.
d. Which alternative would you recommend for Julie in light of your analysis?
Answer:
a. Julie should continue live in her own apartment.
b. She should then purchase the condo
c. Home maintenance cost and tax benefit.
d. She should live in her own apartment and rent the condo after purchase.
Explanation:
Buying cost of condo $175,000
Loan interest amount $8,400 [ $175,000 * 80% * 6%]
Insurance premium $10 [560 - 550]
Property taxes $1,000
Maintenance expense $875 [$175,000 * 0.5%]
Total additional cost per year $10,280
If Julie plans to buy the condo she will have to incur additional cost of $10,280 per annum.
b. If the price of condo increases by 3.5% per year then she should consider buying the condo.
