Answer: 16.38%
Explanation:
The weighted average return of the portfolio is calculated (as implied) by taking the weights of the different stocks and multiplying by their returns.
= (5,000/40,000 * 15%) + (15,000/40,000 * 8%) + (20,000/40,000 * 23%)
= 0.01875 + 0.03 + 0.115
= 0.16375
= 16.38%

Curtis purchased inventory on December 1, 2020. Payment of 250,000 stickles was to be made in sixty days. Also on December 1, Curtis signed a contract to purchase §250,000 in sixty days. The spot rate was §1 = 0.33682, and the 60-day forward rate was §1 = $0.36842. On December 31, the spot rate was §1 = 0.32438 and the 30-day forward rate was §1 = 0.36386.
At what amount should the Forward Contract account be recorded on December 1?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Forward contracts get their value from the cost and on December 1, there was no cost to Curtis as he Curtis had just signed the contract.
This means that the amount that should be recorded for the Forward Contract should be $0. Even though the contract is valued at $0, it will still need to be credited against the amount to be received to at least recognize that a forward contract was entered into.

WACC is the cost of capital of all the sources of finance. This cost of capital should consider all the sources of finance. Jana should include long term debts and equity financing costs to identify the Weighted average cost of capital. Preferred stocks are also added in the calculations.
Describe what companies can do to prepare employees for layoffs and to reduce their potential negative effects?
Answer:
Generally companies engage in massive layoffs because economic times are hard, but evidence show that massive layoffs actually do not benefit companies, instead it hurts them in the long run.
According to a study made by the Harvard Business Review, 45% of Fortune 500 companies carried out layoffs on a normal basis and 65% did it during the great recession. But that didn't help them become more profitable, nor more productive. Actually, the study showed that companies that engage in massive layoffs suffer financially for at least 3 years after the layoffs have been made. Remember that layoffs in America are rather simple and cheap to do, the negative effects of layoffs last longer in countries where firing people is expensive.
Most companies start firing employees because things are not going well and they are used as a way to cut costs. But even though firing people in the US is not expensive, hiring and training new employees is. Some companies like Toyota or Honda rarely fire anyone. Toyota aversion for layoffs is so great that it hasn't manufactured any cars in Venezuela for more than 7 years already, and it hasn't fired any employee. It rather relocated them to other countries after receiving more training.
Massive layoffs result in lower job satisfaction, organizational commitment and overall job performance. So any money saved by cutting jobs is lost by lower efficiency. Some universities have pointed out that the negative effects of massive layoffs can last up to 20 years. Remember that people are involved, not machines. When people feel disappointed and betrayed they will not behave in the same way. Negative effects tend to last much more than positive effects, e.g. wage increase which is seem as natural and fair.
What can be done:
Think like Toyota. If you know that X number of employees will not be needed in the future, retrain them and transfer them to areas where they can be useful. E.g. AT&T engages in a massive retraining policy for future unnecessary employees and managed to relocate 100,000 of them in 7 years. That actually boosted AT&T's productivity, increased its revenues and decreased costs. They were able to retain talent and boost morale.
When laying off employees is unavoidable and unforeseeable (which is rarely the case), companies should offer their employees a fair way out. They should also avoid making other remaining employees feel uncomfortable or that they are next in line to be laid off.
Fuji Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 24 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $3.85, what is the current share price?
Answer:
P0 = $92.57889 rounded off to $92.58
Explanation:
Using the two stage dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D0 is the dividend just paid r is the required rate of return g1 is the initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rate in dividendsP0 = 3.85 * (1+0.24) / (1+0.12) + 3.85 * (1+0.24)^2 / (1+0.12)^2 +
3.85 * (1+0.24)^3 / (1+0.12)^3 +
[(3.85 * (1+0.24)^3 * (1+0.05) / (12 - 0.05)) / (1+0.12)^3]
P0 = $92.57889 rounded off to $92.58

Suppose you buy lunch for $15.40 that includes a 8% sales tax. How much did the restaurant charge you for the lunch (excluding any tax) and how much does the restaurant owe for sales tax?a. $16.10 for lunch and $1.19 for sales tax.b. $14.81 for lunch and $1.29 for sales tax.c. $16.10 for lunch and $1.29 for sales tax.d. $14.91 for lunch and $1.19 for sales tax.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, the amount that the restaurant charge for the lunch excluding any tax will be calculated as:
= $15.40 × 100/(100 + 8)
= $15.40 × 100/108
= $1540/108
= $14.26
Sales tax will be:
= $15.40 × 8%
= $15.40 × 8/100
= $15.40 × 0.08
= $1.23

The product cost concept includes the selling and administrative expenses in the cost amount to which the markup is added to determine product price. 1) True 2) False
Answer:
The product cost concept includes the selling and administrative expenses in the cost amount to which the markup is added to determine product price.
2) False
Explanation:
The product cost is made up of the following costs: direct labor, direct materials, consumable production supplies, and factory overhead. It does not include selling and administrative expenses. The total cost is then marked up to determine the product price at which it can be sold to customers. The markup will then cover the other expenses incurred in running the business and the expected profit per unit.

You deposit $509 in a savings account and one year later you have $562. At the same time, the CPI increases from 126 to 143. What was your real interest rate, in percentage terms?
Answer:
real interest rate = -3.08%
Explanation:
real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate
nominal interest rate = [($562/$509) - 1] x 100 = 10.41%inflation rate = [(143/126) - 1] x 100 = 13.49%real interest rate = 10.41% - 13.49% = -3.08%
since the real interest rate is negative, the investor actually lost money in real dollars. This means that the amount of goods that the investor could purchase before making the investment is higher than the amount of goods he/she will be able to buy after the investment.
At the end of the year a company has a $1,200 debit balance in Manufacturing Overhead. If this amount is considered immaterial, the company will a) make an adjusting entry by debiting Manufacturing Overhead Applied for SI,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200. b) make an adjusting entry by debiting Cost of Goods Sold for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200. c) make no adjusting entry because differences between actual overhead and the amount applied are a normal part of job costing and will average out next year. d) make an adjusting entry by debiting Manufacturing Overhead Expense for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200.
Answer:
b) make an adjusting entry by debiting Cost of Goods Sold for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200.
Explanation:
The ordinary treatment for the debit balance in the Manufacturing Overhead is to regard it as an under-absorbed cost, then the $1,200 will be debited to the Cost of Goods Sold while crediting the Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200. Differences between actual overhead and the amount applied are not a normal part of job costing but process costing. By debiting the Cost of Goods Sold, the manufacturing overhead would have been accounted for in determining the actual cost of the goods sold.
For a given aggregate demand curve, the specificed rate of spending growth is the growth rate of money:___________.(a) demand plus the growth in velocity, (b) supply minus the rate of growth in velocity, (c) demand minus the rate of growth in velocity, (d) supply plus the growth in velocity.
Answer:
(d) supply plus the growth in velocity
Explanation:
As we know that
The spending growth rate is
= Money supply growth rate + velocity growth
Here the spending growth rate is the rate when there is a rise of the amount i.e. incurred
The Money supply growth rate is the rate when there is a rise in the money i.e. pumped in the market
And, the velocity of the growth is the rate where the money in the system varies hands
Therefore the correct option is d.
Partner A earns $59,000 from a partnership. Partner B earns $48,000 but withdraws only $40,000. How much must Partner B report in his income tax return as income?
Answer: $48,000

Suppose you are the money manager of a $4.59 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas:
Stock Investment Beta
A $ 260,000 1.50
B 360,000 - 0.50
C 1,220,000 1.25
D 2,750,000 0.75
Answer: 11.27%
Explanation:
First calculate the portfolio beta which is a weighted average of the individual betas;
= (260,000/4,590,000 * 1.50) + (360,000/4,590,000 * -0.5) + (1,220,000/4,590,000 * 1.25) + (2,750,000/4,590,000 * 0.75)
= 0.827342
Use CAPM to calculate the required return ;
= risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)
= 3% + 0.827342(13% - 3%)
= 0.1127342
= 11.27%

Zheng has her house built on the border of a public watercourse in a state that follows riparian rights theory. It can be said that she:_________ a. is entitled to have the water body maintained in its natural state by other owners. b. is entitled to use the water for any purpose she may require. c. is not entitled to use any water without obtaining an approval from a court of law. d. is entitled to use only as much water as was used by the previous owner of the land.
Answer:
a. is entitled to have the water body maintained in its natural state by other owners.
Explanation:
The Riparian law is usually applied the eastern states of the United States to determine who is legally allowed to use water.
Riparian law states that the owner of a property adjacent to a body of water has the right to use it.
The concept of natural flow states that each Riparian land owner can use water for domestic use and no more. If a owner uses it for other purposes, other Riparian owners can take legal action against them.
Each riparian land owner is supposed to use what they need for domestic purpose so that natural flow is maintained for other riparian users.
