The available options are:
A. 5 year call at 102 1/2
B. 5 year put at 100
C. 10 year call at 100
D. 20 year maturity
Answer:
20 year maturity
Explanation:
Given that, the bond has a stated rate of interest of 7%, and at the same time, priced to yield 7.50%, this implies that, the bond is being sold at a discount.
The amount of the discount to which this equates is about $140 (this is depending on the figure). The dollar price of the bond would be $860 to yield 7.50% to maturity. Based on MSRB rules, it is ideal that, bonds are priced on a worst case basis, meaning in this case where the discount is $140, and it is earned over the longest period of time. This can only occurs if the bonds are held to maturity.
It should be noted that, If the bonds are called earlier, the yield actually improves on the bonds, since the customer earns the discount faster.
Hence, The price of the bond to a customer would be calculated based on the: 20 year maturity.
Mayan Company had net income of $132,000. The weighted-average common shares outstanding were 80,000. The company has no preferred stock. The company sold 3,000 shares before the end of the year. There were no other stock transactions. The company's earnings per share is:
Answer:
EPS = $1.71 per unit
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock .
It represents profit per unit of stock unit held by common stock holder investor. The higher the more profitable and the better.
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders / units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Net income = 132,000
Preference dividend = Nil
Number of shares at the end of the year = Number of shares at the beginning - number of shares at the end
Number of shares at the end of the year = 80,000 - 3000 = 77,000 units
Earnings = = 132,000 - 0 = 132,000
Earnings per shares(EPS) = $132,000 / 77,000 units = $1.71 per unit
EPS = $1.71 per unit
You would like to have extra spending money, so you decide to work part time at the local gym. The job pays you $15 per hour and you work 20 hours per week. Your employer withholds 10% of your gross pay for federal taxes, 7.65% for FICA taxes and 3% for state taxes.
a. What is your weekly gross pay?
b. How much is withheld per week for federal tax?
c. How much is withheld per week for FICA taxes?
d. How much is withheld per week for state taxes?
e. What is your weekly net pay?
f. What percentage of your gross net pay is withheld for taxes?
Answer:
Gross Pay 300 dollar
Federal Income Tax $ 30
FICA $ 22.95
SUTA $ 9
Net Pay: 238.05
As a percentage of gross pay: 79.35%
Explanation:
Gross pay:
20 hours x $15 each = $ 300
Taxes:
income tax: 300 x 10% = 30
FICA 300 x 7.65% = 22.95
SUTA taxes 300 x 3% = 9
Net pay 300 - 30 - 22.95 - 9 = 238.05
Net pay as a percentage of gross pay:
238.05 / 300 = 0.7935 = 79.35%
Based on predicted production of 28,000 units, a company anticipates $574,000 of fixed costs and $511,000 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 26,000 units are
Answer:
$574,000 fixed costs and $474,500 variable cost
Explanation:
According to the predicted production of 28,000 units, a company has a fixed cost of $574,000
The variable costs is $511,000
Therefore the flexible budget amount for the fixed and variable costs when 26,000 units are produced can be calculated as follows
The fixed costs still remains constant at $574,000
Variable cost = 511,000/28,000×26,000
= 18.25×26,000
= $474,500
Hence the fixed cost is $574,000 and the variable cost is $474,500
An online-only bank currently offers a 7-year CD (certificate of deposit) paying simple interest rate of 4% per quarter. If you want to get $4,240 from this CD 7 years later, how much do you have to purchase today?
Answer:
The answer is $1,413.94
Explanation:
Number of periods(N) = 28 periods (7 years x 4 quarters)
Interest rate(I/Y) = 4% per quarter. Therefore, interest rate per year is 16% per year(4% x 4 quarters)
Future value(FV) = $4,240
Present Value (PV) = ?
Let's use a financial calculator:
N = 28; I/Y = 4, FV = 4,240; CPT PV= -1,413.94
Therefore, the present value is $1,413.94

Data concerning Farm Corporation's single product appear below: Selling price per unit $ 320.00 Variable expense per unit $ 76.80 Fixed expense per month $ 170,240 The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$224,000
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= $320 - $76.8
= $243.2
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
= $243.2 / $320
= $0.76 × 100
= 76%
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $170,240 / 76%
= $224,000
Linda and Richard are married and file a joint return for 2019. During the year, Linda, who works as an accountant for a national airline, used $2,100 worth of free passes for travel on the airline; Richard used the same amount. Linda and Richard also used $850 worth of employee discount coupons for hotel rooms at the hotel chain that is also owned by the airline. Richard is employed at State University as an accounting clerk. Under a tuition reduction plan, Richard saved $4,000 in tuition fees during 2019. He is studying for a master's degree in business at night while still working full-time. Richard also had $30 worth of personal typing done by his administrative assistant at the University.
Required:
What is the amount of fringe benefits that should be included in Linda and Richard's gross income on their 2018 tax return?
Answer:
$4,850
Explanation:
The free passes are customer discounts and does not qualifies for taxable in kind benefits. The $850 is an in-kind benefits and thus must be included in the gross income. Furthermore, the $4,000 fee reduction is all because of the university employment and thus must be included in the gross income.
The $30 worth of personal typing done by Richard's administrative assistant is a third party favor and this favor was not from the employer so it has nothing to do with tax.
The increase in taxable gross income will be as under:
Increase in Taxable Gross Income = $850 + $4,000 = $4,850
Stan Slickum has a used car that can be bought for $8 comma 500 cash or for a $1 comma 000 down payment and $770 per month for 12 months. What is the effective annual interest rate on the monthly payment plan?
Answer:
48.8%
Explanation:
We can use the rate formula to determine the monthly rate as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of monthly payments which is 12
pmt is the amount of monthly payment which is $770
pv is the cash price of the minus downpayment i.e $8500-$1000=$7500
fv is the balance after all payments have been made i.e $0
=rate(12,770,-7500,0)=3.37%
effective monthly rate=(1+3.37% )^12-1=48.8%
Suppose a farmer is expecting that her crop of oranges will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time. Suppose each orange juice futures contract is for 15,00015,000 pounds of orange juice, and the current futures price is F_0 = 118.65F 0 =118.65 cents-per-pound. Assuming that the farmer has enough cash liquidity to fund any margin calls, what is the risk-free price that she can guarantee herself.
Answer:
Explanation:
The risk-free rate is the interest that an investor will typically expect from an investment over a period of time.
From the question, the risk free price will be the current futures price which has been given as 118.65 cents per pound.
Therefore, since the farmer is ready for harvest and sale as 150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time, he will have a price of:
= 150,000 × $118.65
= $17,797.5
Your portfolio is comprised of 40 percent of stock X, 15 percent of stock Y, and 45 percent of stock Z. Stock X has a beta of 1.24, stock Y has a beta of 1.49, and stock Z has a beta of 0.41. What is the beta of your portfolio?
Answer:
Portfolio beta = 0.904
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the weighted average of all the beta associated with each of the different stock making up the portfolio. The betas are weighted using the probability associated with each of the stock.
Portfolio beta = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the beta, R- Stock beta -
W- Probability of the beta, R- stock beta
Note that the sum of the probability of different outcomes should equal to one. Hence, the probability of economy being normal is
Portfolio beta = (0.4 × 1.24) + (0.15 × 1.49) + ( 0.45 ×0.41) =0.904
Portfolio beta = 0.904

John is evaluating which investment would be best for his company. He wants to determine the future value of a certain investment that has the following information:
PV = $200
INT = 0.1 or 10%
N = 1 (years)
According to this information, what would be the future value of this investment?
a) $110.67
b) $200.50
c) $220
d) None of the above
Answer: $220
Explanation:
The following information can be derived from the question:
PV = $200
INT = 0.1 or 10%
N = 1 (years)
To calculate the future value of this investment, we will use the formula:
FV = PV( 1 + i)^n
FV = $200(1 + 0.1)
FV = $200(1.1)
FV = $220
The future value of this investment would be $220.
Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.01 to $2.57 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.4% rate, and its share price was $50.07. With the planned expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 4.7% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton's risk.) Is the expansion a good investment?
Answer:
$34.35
The price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.
Explanation:
Computation for the share price to expect after the announcement
Using this formula
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g
Where,
D1 =$4.01
P0 = $50.07
g =3.4%
Let plug in the formula
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g
Ke= [ $4.01 / $50.07] + 0.034
Ke= 0.0800+ 0.034
Ke= 0.1140
Second step is to find the Price after Expansion using this formula
P0 = D1 / [ Ke - g ]
Where,
D1=$2.57
Ke=0.1140
g=4.7%
Let plug in the formula
P0= $ 2.57 / [ 0.1140 - 0.047 ]
P0=$2.57/0.067
P0=$ 34.35
Based on this calculation, we can see that the price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.
Therefore the share price that you would expect after the announcement will be $34.35
In order to achieve the target for the nominal interest rate established by the monetary policy rule, the central bank adjusts:
Answer: C. the money supply.
Explanation:
The Money Supply in an economy can be adjusted to influence interest rates due to the indirect relationship that exists between them. This means that when there is a high money supply, interest rates are lower and vice versa.
The Central Bank controls how much money is in the economy by using Open Market operations that buy or sell government securities as well as reserve requirements on banks.
Larry Nelson holds 1,000 shares of General Electric's (GE) common stock. The annual stockholder meeting is being held soon, but as a minor shareholder, Larry doesn't plan to attend. Larry did not sell his shares but gave his voting rights to the management group running General Electric (GE). Larry must have signed a ________ that gives the management group control over his shares.
Larry also holds 2,000 shares of common stock in a company that only has 20,000 shares outstanding. The company's stock currently is valued at $47.00 per share. The company needs to raise new capital to invest in production. The company is looking to issue 5,000 new shares at a price of $37.60 per share. Larry worries about the value of his investment.
Larry's current investment in the company is_______. If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth_______.
This scenario is an example of_______. Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a ________ provision.
If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become________.
Answer:
Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.
A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.
Larry's current investment in the company is $94,000.
= 2,000 stocks x $47 = $94,000
If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $90,240.
company's new market value = (20,000 x $47) + (5,000 x $37.60) = $1,128,000
new stock price = $1,128,000 / 25,000 stocks = $45.12
= $45.12 x 2,000 = $90,240
This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.
The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.
Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.
Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.
If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $112,800.
= [(5,000 / 10) x $37.60] + $94,000 = $18,800 + $94,000 = $112,800
Kindzi Co. has preferred stock outstanding that is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.18 every year in perpetuity. If the required return is 4.19 percent, what is the current stock price?
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $99.76
Explanation:
The price of a stock which pays a constant dividend throughout for an indefinite period of time can be calculated using the present value of perpetuity formula. The stock qualifies as a perpetuity as it pays a constant cash flow after equal intervals of time and for indefinite time period.
The formula for the present value of perpetuity is,
Present Value = Cash Flow or Dividend / r
Where,
r is the discount ratePresent value = 4.18 / 0.0419
Present value = $99.76
So, the current price of the stock is $99.76

holdy Inc's bonds currently sell for $1,275. They pay a $120 annual coupon and have a 20-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,120. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between the bond's YTM and its YTC?
Answer:
Yield to maturity (YTM) is 1.91% higher than yield to call (YTC).
Explanation:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {$120 + [($1,000 - $1,275)/20]} / [($1,000 + $1,275)/2] = $106.25 / $1,137.50 = 9.34%
YTC = {coupon + [(call price - market value)/n]} / [(call price + market value)/2]
YTC = {$120 + [($1,120 - $1,275)/5]} / [($1,120 + $1,275)/2] = $89 / $1,197.50 = 7.43%
9.34% - 7.43% = 1.91%
Scenario: Home Monopolist) A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 60 2Q and has total costs given by TC = Q2. Its marginal revenue is MR = 60 4Q and its marginal cost is MC = 2Q. Compared with the no-trade equilibrium, consumer surplus ___________ when the monopolist engages in free trade.
Answer:
2Q
Explanation:
Economy equilibrium is where MC = MR.
Marginal cost equals marginal return when the supply and demand is linear. Consumer surplus is the additional amount that a consumer is willing to pay for the goods and services. Here MC = 2Q and MR = 60 + 4Q. Here consumer is paying 2Q additional in the equation of marginal return.
Which of the following determine(s) the level of real interest rates? I) The supply of savings by households and business firms II) The demand for investment funds III) The government's net supply and/or demand for funds
Answer:
I II & III - All of the above.
Explanation:
Real interest rate is an interest rate that shows actual cost of funds to a borrower having taken into consideration the effects of inflation while also reflecting actual gain to the lender. It shows how purchasing power has value on interest paid on a loan.
With regards to the above, determinants of real interest rates are; the supply of savings by household and business firms, the demand for investment funds and the government's net supply/and or demand for funds.
You have $256,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 14.1 percent, and Stock L, with an expected return of 10.7 percent. If your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.3 percent, how much money will you invest in Stock H and in Stock L
Answer: Investment in H = .4706($256,000)
Investment in H = $120,470.59
Investment in L = .5294($256,000)
Investment in L = $135,529.41
Explanation:
Investment in Stock H
Investment in Stock L
Here, the expected return of the portfolio and the expected return of the assets in the portfolio have been given and we're to calculate the dollar amount of each asset in the portfolio. So, we need to find the weight of each asset in the portfolio. Since the total weight of the assets in the portfolio must equal 1 (or 100%), we can find the weight of each asset as:
E[Rp] = .1230 = .141xH + .107(1 - xH)
xH = .4706
xL = 1 - xH
xL = 1 - .4706
xL = .5294
So, the dollar investment in each asset is the weight of the asset times the value of the portfolio, so the dollar investment in each asset must be:
Investment in H = .4706($256,000)
Investment in H = $120,470.59
Investment in L = .5294($256,000)
Investment in L = $135,529.41

Beatrice invests $1,320 in an account that pays 4 percent simple interest. How much more could she have earned over a 5-year period if the interest had been compounded annually
Answer:
How much more earned is $21.98
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount earned when investment in paying on simple interest
Interest = Amount * Interest rate * No of years
Interest = 1320 * 4% * 5
Interest = $264
Total amount = Interest + Amount invested
Total amount = $1320 + 264
Total amount = $1,584
Therefore, the total amount earned when earning on simple interest of 4% is $1,584
Calculation of the amount earned when investment interest in paying compounded annually
Pv= 1320
n= 5
i= 4%
Fv= ?
Fv= P(1+i)^-n
Fv= 1320(1+0.04)^5
Fv= 1320(1.04)^5
Fv= 1320(1.216652)
Fv= $1605.98
Therefore, the total amount earned when earning on interest compounded annually is $1,605.98
Calculation of how much more earned
Amount earned = Amount earned as per compounded interest - Amount earned as per simple interest
Amount earned = $1,605.98 - $1,584
Amount earned = $21.98
Therefore, how much more earned is $21.98
A pound of steak costs $10 in the U.S. and 56.25 riyals (the currency of Saudi Arabia) in Saudi Arabia. If the real exchange rate is 2/3, what is the nominal exchange rate
Answer: 3.75 Riyals / USD
Explanation:
The Real Exchange rate is different from the Nominal exchange rate as it takes into account, the differences between the 2 nations being compared in terms of prices of goods and services.
As such it can be used to calculate the Nominal rate;
Real Exchange Rate = (Cost in U.S. x Nominal Exchange Rate) / Cost in Saudi Arabia
2/3 = (10 x Nominal Exchange Rate) / 56.25
2/3 x 56.25 = 10 x Nominal Exchange Rate
10 x Nominal Exchange Rate = 37.50
Nominal Exchange Rate = 37.50 / 10
Nominal Exchange Rate = 3.75 Riyals / USD
The nominal exchange rate is 3.75 Riyals for every $1.

Answer:
Hello your question has some missing figures here is the complete question with the missing figures
Creating own dividend policy. Carmen owns shares of Wiseguy Entertainment. Wiseguy has just declared a $0.30 per share dividend on a stock selling at $24.3. What must Carmen do if she wants no cash dividends at this time, $82000 worth of dividends, or $107000 worth of dividends? Show her wealth in paper and cash under each scenario. Assume a world of no taxes. First, if Carmen does not want an annual "dividend income" from his stock holdings, what must she do to get this level of income? (Select the best response.)
Answer: Wealth in cash = $107000 , wealth in paper = $8160000
since her annual dividend received = ($102000) Carmen needs to purchase 4250 more shares of stock to get to this level of income
Explanation:
Given data
shares held = 340000
dividend = $0.3
stock price = $24.3
Stock price - dividend = $24 ( dividend price )
A) what Carmen must do if she doesn't want cash dividends
Based on shares held the annual dividend of Carmen = 340000 * 0.3 = $102000
If Carmen doesn't want the cash dividend she can use it to purchase more shares for Wiseguy entertainment which will be = dividend received / dividend price = 102000 / 24 = 4250 shares
when the Annual dividend required is $82000
she can buy shares worth = $20000 ( 102000 - 82000 )
= 20000 / 24 = 833.33
when the Annual dividend required is $107000
Carmen can sell shares worth = $5000 ( 107000 - 102000 )
= 5000 / 24 = 208.33
therefore wealth in cash would be
= $107000
wealth in paper would be
= dividend price * number of shares held
= $24 * 340000 = $8160000
