Answer:
The project's expected rate of return is 8.3%
Explanation:
The following question would be solved using the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Module) formulae, which is calculated as follows:
Ra = Rrf + [Ba x (Rm - Rrf)}
Where:
Ra = Project's Expected rate of return
Rrf = Risk-free rate
Ba = Beta
Rm = Expected return of the market
Note: We have been provided with risk premium which is calculated by deducting Risk-free rate from Expected return of the market (Rm - Rrf = Risk premium).
Ra = 2.9% + [0.83 x 6.5%]
Ra = 2.9% + 5.4% (rounded off from 5.395%)
Ra = 8.3%

Torino Company has 1,500 shares of $10 par value, 7.0% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 15,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $500 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:________.
a. $1,600.
b. $550.
c. $1,050.
d. $2,100.
e. $500.
Answer:
a. $1,600.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the dividend that should be paid to the preference shareholder in the second year is shown below:
Annual dividend is
= 1,500 shares × 7% × $10
= $1,050
Now the dividend that should be paid to the next year
= $1,050 + $1,050 - $500
= $1,600
Hence, the mount of the dividend that should be paid to the preference shareholder in the second year is $1,600
Which of the following statements is more likely if cash and marketable securities increased by $5,000 during a period in which cash provided by operations increases by $1,000 and cash used by investments decreases by $500?
a. Cash provided by financing increases by $6,500.
b. Cash used by financing decreases by $1,000.
c. Debt increases by more than cash dividends paid.
d. Debt is reduced by more than cash dividends paid.
Answer: c. Debt increases by more than cash dividends paid
Explanation:
In this case, the net increase in the cash from financing activities will be:
= $5000 - $1000 + $500
= $4500
Option A is incorrect as Cash provided by financing doesn't increase by $6,500 but rather $4500.
Option B is incorrect because the cash used by financing doesn't decreases by $1,000 but rather increase.
Option D us incorrect as well.
The correct option is C "Debt increases by more than cash dividends paid".
Answer:
c. Debt increases by more than cash dividends paid.
Explanation:
The cash flow statement equation is given as follows:
Cash and marketable securities = Cash flows from operations + Cash flows from investments + Cash flows from financing .................. (1)
Where, from the question, we have:
Cash flows from operations = Cash provided by operations increases = $1,000
Cash flows from investments = Cash used by investments decreases = -$500
Cash flows from financing = ?
Cash and marketable securities increased = $5,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1) and solve for Cash flows from financing, we have:
$5,000 = $1,000 - $500 + Cash flows from financing
Cash flows from financing = $5,000 - $1,000 + $500
Cash flows from financing = $4,500
Since the $4,500 Cash flows from financing is positive, this implies that cash provided by financing increases by $4,500. From the option in the question, this can only happen when debt increases by more than cash dividends paid. The other options are clearly not correct.
Therefore, the correct option is c. Debt increases by more than cash dividends paid.
A series of 10 end-of-year deposits is made that begins with $5,000 at the end of year 1 and decreases at the rate of $300 per year with 12% interest.
a) What amount could be withdrawn at t = 10? $
Round entry to the nearest dollar. Tolerance is ±4.
b) What uniform annual series of deposits (n = 10) would result in the same accumulated balance at the end of year 10? $
Round entry to the nearest dollar. Tolerance is ±4.
Answer:
a) The amount that could be withdrawn at t = 10 is $68,872.
b) The uniform annual series of deposits is $3,925.
Explanation:
a) What amount could be withdrawn at t = 10? $ Round entry to the nearest dollar. Tolerance is ±4.
Note: See the attached excel for the calculation of the future value in year 10.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Future value in year 10 = $68,872
Therefore, the amount that could be withdrawn at t = 10 is $68,872.
b) What uniform annual series of deposits (n = 10) would result in the same accumulated balance at the end of year 10? $ Round entry to the nearest dollar. Tolerance is ±4.
To calculate the uniform annual series of deposits, we use the formula for calculating the future value of ordinary annuity for as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount deposited in after 10 years = $68,872
M = Uniform annual series of deposits = ?
r = Interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of year = 10 years
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M , we have:
$68,872 = M * (((1 + 0.12)^10 - 1) / 0.12)
$68,872 = M * 17.5487350695351
M = $68,872 / 17.5487350695351
M = $3,925
Therefore, the uniform annual series of deposits is $3,925.
A company has 800 bonds outstanding with a par value of $1,000 and priced at 95% of par. It also has 40,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a book value per share of $50 and market price per share of $60. Calculate the capital-structure weights for the firm (as if you were calculating the firm’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital).
Answer:
Bonds = 24%
Shares = 76%
Explanation:
The weight of each of the finance sources is the proportion that their market value bears to the total market value.
This is computed as follows:
$
Market value of bonds= 95%× 1,000× 800= 760,000
Market value of shares = 60× 40,000= 2,400,000
Total market value 3,160,000
Bonds = 760,000/3,160,000× 100= 24%
Shares = 2400000/3,160,000× 100= 76%

KrAmerica Jewelers sold a necklace to George on a layaway plan. George paid a portion of the price and agreed to make additional payments over six months. The necklace was to remain in the possession of KrAmerica until payment was fully made. A burglary occurred at KrAmerica and the necklace along with other items were stolen. KrAmerica argued that George must bear the risk of loss. George sought recovery of the full value of the necklace. Explain who shall prevail for each claim.
Answer:
- KrAmerica will bear the risk of the loss
- George will not get full recovery for the value of the necklace
Explanation:
George only made some payments for the necklace and he had not taken possession of it yet. So the risk for the loss is with KrAmerica since they are the current owners of the necklace.
George was only to take possession of the necklace when payment was completed.
On the other hand George is seeking full recovery of the value of the necklace.
He has only made a part payment on the necklace, so he is not entitled to get the full value of the necklace.
Only the amount he has paid will be refunded to him.

Jacques lives in Chicago and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $701,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $420,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $247,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $9,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jacques does not operate this piano business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $32,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $9,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.

As the Consumer Price Index increases, the value of money a. falls, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want. b. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. c. rises, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. d. rises, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want.
Answer:
D. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want.
Explanation:
In the case when the consumer price index rises, so the value of the money declines as the people would hold more money in order to purchase the goods and services what actually they want
Also it shows an inverse relationship between the consumer price index and the value of money i.e. if one thing is increased the other thing would decrease and vice versa
Therefore the option d is correct
The price of a dozen eggs falls from $3 to $2.70. In response to this price change, the quantity supplied of eggs falls from 150,000 dozen eggs to 125,000 dozen eggs. What is the price elasticity of supply for eggs
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply=1.67
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is a measure of the degree of responsive of supply to a change in price . It is computed using the formula below:
% change in Quantity supply/% change in price
% change in Quantity supply= 125,000-150,000/150,000× 100=16.67%
% change in price = (2.70-3.00)/3.00× 100= 10.00%
Price elasticity of supply = 16.67/10.00=1.67
Price elasticity of supply=1.67

SAP Inc. received a $1.5 million grant under its Small Business Innovation program. SAP invested the grant money and developed a system to remove metal contaminants from storm water in shipyards. The firm estimates that each shipyard spends $500,000 a year on storm water clean-up efforts. If SAP is able to sign up and retain four shipyards in the first year onwards, what is the present value (PV) of the project (net of investment) if the cost of capital for SAP is 14% per year
Answer: $12,785,714
Explanation:
Present value of project:
= Revenue / Cost of capital
= (500,000 * 4 shipyards) / 14%
= $14,285,714
Net of investment:
= 14,285,714 - 1,500,000
= $12,785,714
Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 120 boots for $18 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $8, and special stitching will add another $2 per pair to the cost. Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer:
Differential income = $960
Explanation:
In a special order decision , the offer should be accepted if the sales revenue from the order is greater than the relevant costs of the special orders.
The relevant costs of the special order = variable cost + additional cost of special stitching machine
$
Sales revenue (120× $18) 2,160
The relevant costs of the special order
= (120×8) + (120×2) (1,200)
Differential income 960

At the end of the first year of operations, Meacham's balance sheet showed the following account balances: Accounts Receivable, $13,400; Inventory, $9,400; and Accounts Payable, $14,650. The company's income statement reports net income of $37,400, including depreciation expense of $10,400. Using only the given information, compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.
Answer:
$39,650
Explanation:
Compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect
Using this formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=Net income-Accounts Receivable-Inventory+Accounts Payable+depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=$37,400 - $13,400 - $9,400 + $14,650 + $10,400
Net cash flow from operating activities= $39,650
Therefore Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect is $39,650

What is least likely and most likely to do ?
Answer:
Most Likely to do:
" Try to learn why the customer likes the product, and suggest a similar but less expensive alternative."
This will help you to gain the customer's trust, and will most likely take or buy the alternative if he is convinced of getting the same functionality.
Least Likely to do:
"Offer to check with your Store Manager to see if anything can be done. Ask your Manager how to handle the situation."
This will probably not yield a positive result because the price would not likely be changed, and it may put you in a bad light under your Manager, as he will believe you can't think on your feet or improvise on your own.
Nelson Corp is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $100,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $400,000 and have a 5 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $75,000, what is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
14.74 %
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Average Profits / Average Investment x 100
therefore,
Accounting rate of return = ($100,000 - $65,000) / $237,500 x 100
= 14.74 %
where,
Average Investment = ( initial investment + scrape value ) ÷ 2

If the dividend yield for year 1 is expected to be a 7% based on a stock price of 30 what will the year 5 divident be if dividents grow annually at a constant rate of 8%?
Answer:
$3.09
Explanation:
dividend in 5 years = dividend x ( + growth rate)^5
dividend yield = dividend / price
0.07 = dividend / 30
dividend = 30 x 0.07 = 2.1
2.1 x (1.08)^5 = 3.09
Principal Printing produces custom labels and stationery for companies. In conducting CVP analysis of its Personalized Package, management decided to determine how many of the packages would need to be sold in order to justify continuing the product line. Management determined that fixed costs direct related to this particular product amounted to $54,000 annually. Principal reported $240,000 of gross sales related to this product and variable product costs of $180,000. Assuming that each Personalized Package sells for $12 per unit, what is the minimum amount of total sales dollars of Personalized Packages that Principal needs in order to justify the product line
Answer:
18,000 personalized packages
Explanation:
Profit-volume ratio = ($240,000 - $180,000) / $240,000
Profit-volume ratio = 0.25
Profit-volume ratio= 25%
Break-Even-Point = $54,000 / 25%
Break-Even-Point = 216,000
The minimum personalized packages that needs to sell to break even:
= Break-Even-Point / Personalized Package sales per unit
= 216,000 / $12
= 18,000 personalized packages

Which one of the following bank accounts will you choose for a savings account? Bank A: An account that pays 8% nominal interest (APR) with daily (365-day) compounding. Bank B: An account that pays 8% nominal interest (APR) with annual compounding. Bank C: An account that pays 7% nominal interest (APR) with daily (365-day) compounding. Bank D: An account that pays 7% nominal interest (APR) with monthly compounding.
Answer:
bank a
Explanation:
to determine the appropriate bank to choose for a savings account, we have to calculate the effective annual interest rate. the bank with the highest effective annual interest rate would be chosen
Effective annual rate = (1 + APR / m ) ^m - 1
M = number of compounding
Bank A = [ 1 + (0.08/365)^365 - 1 = 8.32%
Bank B = 8%
Bank C = [ 1 + (0.07/365)^365 - 1 = 7.25%
Bank D = [ 1 + (0.07/12)^365 - 1 =7.23%
Bank A has the highest effective annual rate and would be chosen

Explanation:
When the interest rate is above the equilibrium level, a. the quantity of money that people want to hold is less than the quantity of money that the Federal Reserve has supplied. b. people respond by buying interest-bearing bonds or by depositing money in interest-bearing bank accounts. c. bond issuers and banks respond by lowering the interest rates they offer. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When interest rate is above the equilibrium level, people would be less willing to hold cash. Instead they would prefer to save or invest in interest-bearing bonds. This is because as a result of the higher interest rate, interest paid on their deposit and investment would be higher.
As a result of the increase in savings, there would be an increase in the supply of loanable funds over demand for loanable funds. This would lead to a reduction in interest rate until equilibrium interest rate is reached.
The Peoria Supply Company sells for $30 one product that it purchases for $20. Budgeted sales in total dollars for next year are $720,000. The sales information needed for preparing the July budget follows:
Month Sales Revenue
May $30,000
June 42,000
July 51,000
August 54,000
Account balances at July 1 include these:
Cash $20,000
Merchandise inventory 18,000
Accounts receivable (sales) 23,000
Accounts payable (purchases) 12,000
The company pays for one-half of its purchases in the month of purchase and the remainder in the following month. End-of-month inventory must be 50 percent of the budgeted sales in units for the next month. A 2 percent cash discount on sales is allowed if payment is made during the month of sale. Experience indicates that 50 percent of the billings will be collected during the month of sale, 40 percent in the following month, 8 percent in the second following month, and 2 percent will be uncollectible. Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses (excluding bad debts) for the fiscal year are estimated at $180,000 , of which one-half is fixed expense (inclusive of a $20,000 annual depreciation charge). Fixed expenses are incurred evenly during the year. The other selling and administrative expenses vary with sales. Expenses are paid during the month incurred.
Required:
a. Prepare a schedule of estimated cash collections for July.
b. Prepare a schedule of estimated July cash payments for purchases.
c. Prepare schedules of July selling and administrative expenses, separately identifying those requiring cash disbursements.

c. Selling and administrative expenses
Non-Cash expenses:
Depreciation expense $1,667
Cash disbursements:
Other fixed costs 5,333
Variable costs 6,375
Total costs $13,375
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per product = $30
Purchase cost per product = $20
Total sales dollars for next year = $720,000
Month Sales Revenue
May $30,000
June 42,000
July 51,000
August 54,000
July 1:
Cash balance = $20,000
Merchandise inventory $18,000
Accounts receivable (sales) 23,000
Accounts payable (purchases) 12,000
Ending inventory = $27,000 ($54,000 * 50%)
Ending inventory = 50% of next month's budgeted sales
Selling and administrative expenses (excluding bad debts) for the year = $180,000
Fixed costs = $90,000
Depreciation 20,000
Cash fixed costs = $70,000
Monthly fixed costs = $5,833
Variable costs = $90,000
Variable costs per sales dollars = $90,000/$720,000 = $0.125
Cash variable cost for July $0.125 * $51,000 = $6,375
