Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Explanation:

Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000=  $179,000

Using

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,

wA is the weight of the first investment,

βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;

wB is the weight of the second investment,

βB is the beta coefficient of second investment

but weight of investment is  stock value/ total investment x 100

wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%

WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB  )  

1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB  

βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374

βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

A bank with a two-year horizon has issued a one-year certificate of deposit for $50 million at an interest rate of 2 percent. Wi
IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The bank runs the danger that just before the second year, the short-term interest rate will increase, increasing its Lending value, but leaving untouched the interest income the bank gets from either the Treasury bill.  

Annual interest revenue of 0.04* $50 million= 2 million and annual interest costs for the bank (0.02)* $50 million= 1 million, between 2 per cent to 4 per cent for the Treasury note.

The bank makes a profit of $2 million – $1 million = $1 million. If the interest rate rises 1 percent, the bank’s profit falls to

((0.04)* $50 million) – ((0.03) * $50 million) = $500,000.

Merle Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. For the most recent month,
bixtya [17]

Answer: $721 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Actual hours = 3690 hours

Standard hours = 3620 hours

Standard rate per hour = ($14000 + $27200) / 4000

= $41200 / 4000

= $10.30 per hour

Therefore, the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month is calculated as:

= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour

= (3690 - 3620) × $10.30

= 70 × $10.30

= $721 Unfavorable

Eckert Corporation's partial income statement after its first year of operations is as follows:
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

A. $2,700,000

Explanation:

For computing the deduction amount for depreciation tax, first we have to calculate the total amount of deferred tax amount which is shown below:

Total Deferred tax amount = Deferred tax × (percentage value ÷ tax rate)

= $90,000 × (100% ÷ 30%)

= $300,000

And the depreciation expense in this year is $2,400,000

So, the total amount deducted would be

= $300,000 + $2,400,000

= $2,700,000
