Consider a potential merger between two hypothetical beer companies. Prior to the merger, the first, Ann Hy, is worth $150 billion and the second, Czar Bosch, is worth $100 billion. If they merge, they will gain $30 billion in increased value from reduced costs and additional sales (in present discounted value). Thus the combined value of the new entity (called Ann Hy-Czar Bosch) would be $280 billion. How much more could Czar Bosch hope to get by using the theory of the pie instead of proportional division
Answer:
$3 billion more
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Czar Bosch could hope to get by using the theory of the pie instead of proportional division
If we are to use the theory of the pie instead of the proportional division this means that when using the proportional division, their would be likelihood that Czar Bosch would get an amount that is proportional to their market cap, 40% of the $30 billion, or $12 billion and in a situation where the they decide to split the pie this means that Czar Bosch would either get$15 billion or $3 billion more

What is the present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 8%?
Answer:
$5,765.35
Explanation:
Preparation of the present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 8%
To find the present value we are going to use this formula
PV = FV / (1 + r)^t
Where,
FV=$2,000,000
r=8%
t=76
Let plug in the formula
PV = 2,000,000 / (1 + .08)^⁷⁶
PV = $2,000,000 / (1.98)^⁷⁶
PV=$2,000,000/346.90
PV=$5,765.35
Therefore the present value will be $5,765.35

A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 4.5%. Using the CAPM, what is the expected return on this stock
Answer:
14.10%
Explanation:
The calculation of expected return on this stock is shown below:-
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × (12% - 4.5%)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × 7.5%
= 4.5% + 9.6%
= 14.10%
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called as the market risk premium
hence, the expected rate of return is 14.10%

A company had a beginning balance in retained earnings of $400,000. It had net income of $50,000 and declared and paid cash dividends of $55,000 in the current period. The ending balance in retained earnings equals:
Answer:
$395,000
Explanation:
A company has a beginning balance of $400,000
The company has a net income of $50,000
The company also declared and paid a cash dividend of $55,000
Therefore, the ending balance in the retained earnings can be calculated as follows
Beginning balance+ net income -Dividend paid
= $400,000+$50,000-$55,000
= $395,000
Hence the ending balance in the retained earnings is $395,000
In the aftermath of the global economic crisis that started to take hold in 2008, U.S. government budget deficits increased dramatically, yet interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt fell sharply and stayed low for quite some time. Does this make sense? Why or why not
Answer and Explanation:
the supply effect of large deficits should cause interest rates to go up. The economic crisis caused wealth and income to be lower
which brought about a depression inTreasury bond demand, corporate bond supply also fell the more as investment opportunities reduced. A greater leftward shift in the bond
supply curve than the rightward shift in the bond demand curve would bring about a rise in
bond prices and a reduction in interest rates. Because off the seriousness of the global crisis, the United States
treasury debt became safe for forms of investment, with relative risk falling and liquidity
for U.S. treasury debt rising.
This then increased the U.S. treasury bond demand, resulting into higher
bond prices and lower yields.
You want to have $12,500 in 10 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .3 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today?
Answer:
$8,778
Explanation:
To find the amount of money that you will have to deposit today, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value
FV= future value= 12,500
i= interest rate= 0.003*12(to calculate the rate per year)= 0.036
n= number of periods of time= 10
PV=12,500/(1+0.036)^10
PV=12,500/1.424
PV=8,778
According to this, you will have to deposit today $8,778.
Rediger Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of June. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $40,000 at the beginning of the month and $26,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $58,600 and direct labor cost of $33,400. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $54,800. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $54,600. The cost of goods manufactured for June was:
Answer:
$160,600
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing cost applied + beginning work in process - ending work in process
= $58,600 + $33,400 + $54,600 + $40,000 - $26,000
= $160,600
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured for June is $160,600

a. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _ and the level of investment spending to _.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to _______ and the level of investment to ________.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget __________ which ________ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ________ and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
a. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _decrease and the level of investment spending to increase_.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ___increase____ and the level of investment to ___decrease_____.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget ___surplus_______ which ___increases_____ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ___decrease_____ and the level of investment spending to __increase_____
Explanation:
Interest rate decreases with increased savings and this results to increased investment as funds are available at affordable costs. The situation is reversed when the savings are decreased, since the interest rate will increase as there are less savings for investment purposes.
There is a continuous interaction between taxation, savings, government spending, inflation, and investment versus interest rates. This means that interest rates also reflect these factors put together. This why in both fiscal and monetary policies, governments try to strike some balance in order to direct the economy towards desired targets. For example, when the government wants to stimulate the economy, it works to reduce interest rates in order to encourage investments, but this also lowers the propensity to save and encourages the propensity to spend, which trigger inflation and increases interest rate as an aftermath. And this seems to be an endless vicious or virtuous circle, depending on what is achieved by the monetary and fiscal measures in operation.
A newspaper advertisement for Cashmere Closet states "This Saturday 9 a.m., 1 Red Cashmere Scarf, worth $299.95… $10.00 First Come First Served." Which of the following statements is false?
A. The ad is clear and specific about what was being offered and asked for in exchange.
B. The ad lacks intent to constitute an offer.
C. The number of people who have the power of acceptance is limited.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, The seller must have intention of making the offer. These are determined first from offeree 's place that there is intention to make an bid. When a fair person in the offerer 's position assumes that the terms or acts of the offeror represent an offer, that is an bid. It is an empirical, and not a moral, criterion for deciding that there is an desire to accept an bid.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .
A corporation has 50,000 shares of $25 par stock outstanding. If the corporation issues a 3-for-1 stock split, the number of shares outstanding after the split will be a.50,000 shares b.100,000 shares c.150,000 shares d.16,666 shares
Answer:
Option C
Number of shares outstanding after split = 150,000 units
Explanation:
A stock split occurs where a company creates additional shares in units such the total nominal value of the outstanding shares remains the same. With a stock split, the total outstanding shares increases without a change in the total nominal value while the nominal value per share reduces.
Total shares before the split = 50,000
Total outstanding shares after split
= 50,000 × 3 = 150,000
Number of shares outstanding after split = 150,000 units
Lynda Jones College Plan On her 10th birthday Linda Jone's parents decide to deposit $4,000 in a 529 account for their daughter to go to college. They intend to put an additional $4,000 in the account each year on her 11th, 12th, ..., 17yh birthdays. Assume all account balances will earn 8% per year. On Lynda's 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st birthdays, her parents will withdraw $20,000 to pay for Linda's college education. Questions: Is the $4,000 savings per year sufficient to cover the anticipated college expenses? Is Linda's 529 account underfunded? What should be the annual deposit in Lynda's 529 account to cover entirely her tuition and fees? What will be the PV of Lynda's college tuition on her 18th birthday? Summarize the results of your analysis and provide your recommendation in this quizz. Create a spreadsheet and submit it in you Drop Box.
Answer:
Is the $4,000 savings per year sufficient to cover the anticipated college expenses?
No, since the maximum withdrawal per year (for 4 years) earning an 8% interest rate is $12,846.23. Her parents will be $7,153.77 short every year.Is Linda's 529 account underfunded?
Yes, her account will have $42,548 when she turns 18 and that isn't enough to cover her college expenses.What should be the annual deposit in Lynda's 529 account to cover entirely her tuition and fees?
$6,227.51What will be the PV of Lynda's college tuition on her 18th birthday?
If Lynda's parents want to cover her college expenses, they need to have $66,242 on her 529 account.Explanation:
Lynda's 529 account will have the following balance when she is 18:
future value = annual payment x annuity factor (FV annuity factor, 8%, 8 periods) = $4,000 x 10.637 = $42,548
her parents will make 4 withdrawals:
present value = annual withdrawal x annuity factor (PV annuity factor, 8%, 4 periods)
maximum annual withdrawal = $42,548 / 3.3121 = $12,846.23
required balance = $20,000 x 3.3121 = $66,242
annual payment = $66,242 / 10.637 = $6,227.51

Great Lakes Packing has two bond issues outstanding. The first issue has a coupon rate of 3.82 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 6 years, has a total face value of $5.2 million, and is quoted at 103 percent of face value. The second issue has a coupon rate of 6.59 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 14 years, has a total face value of $9.5 million, and is quoted at 107 percent of face value. Both bonds pay interest semiannually. The company's tax rate is 35 percent. What is the firm's weighted average aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
3.22%
Explanation:
we must first determine the yield to maturity of both bonds in order to determine their before tax cost of debt:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM Bond₁ = {19.10 + [(1,000 - 1,030)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,030)/2] = 16.6 / 1,015 = 0.01635 x 2 = 3.27%
YTM Bond₂ = {32.95 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/28]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 0.0294 x 2 = 5.88%
firm's weighted after tax cost of debt = {[($5.2 / $14.7) x 3.27%] x (1 - 0.35)} + {[($9.5 / $14.7) x 5.88%] x (1 - 0.35)} = 0.75% + 2.47% = 3.22%
The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 20,000 Issued shares 15,000 Treasury shares 3,000 The number of outstanding shares is:
Answer:
12,000
Explanation:
The following data was reported for an organisation
Authorized shares is 20,000
Issued shares is 15,000
Treasury shares is 3,000
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Number of outstanding shares= Issued stock-Treasury stock
= 15,000-3,000
= 12,000
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 12,000
Consider the following $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00 % B 2 7.00 % C 3 7.99 % D 4 9.41 % E 5 10.70 % The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now should be _________.
Answer:
16.01%
Explanation:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now is determined using the below formula:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+YTM5)^5/(1+YTM4)^4-1
YTM5 is the yield to maturity in year 5 i.e 10.70%
YTM4 is the yield to maturity in year 4 i.e 9.41%
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+10.70%)^5/(1+9.41%)^4-1
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=16.01%
A customer subscribes to a $10,000 limited partnership interest. The commission is $1,000. The up-front costs are $500 for legal expenditures, and $500 for organization costs. What is the customer's beginning tax basis
Answer: customer's beginning tax basis = $10,000
Explanation:
Customer's beginning tax basis are the initial cost of the partnership for commission legal and organizational fees and these are not deductible from the cost basis.
Given: A customer subscribes to a $10,000 limited partnership interest.
That means initial cost = $10,000
So, the customer's beginning tax basis = $10,000
A bond with a $1,000 face value and an 8 percent annual coupon pays interest semiannually. The bond will mature in 15 years. The yield to maturity is 11 percent. The price of the bond should be: Do no round intermediate computations. Round the final answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$781.99
Explanation:
The price of the bond can be computed using excel pv function given below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semiannual yield to maturity i.e11%*6/12=5.5%
nper is the number of semiannual coupons the bond would i.e 30 semiannual coupons in 15 years
pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon=$1000*8%*6/12=$40
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(5.5%,30,40,1000)=$781.99
Assume the MPC is 0.8. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the:__________
a. left by $180 billion.
b. left by $500 billion.
c. right by $180 billion.
d. right by $400 billion.
Answer:
b. left by $500 billion.
Explanation:
Given marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8
Marginal propensity to consume + Marginal propensity to save = 1
MPC + MPS = 1
0.8 + MPS = 1
MPS = 1-0.8
MPS = 0.2
Now, the government multiplier = 1/MPS
The government multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Total fall in aggregate demand = Government multiplier × Government purchases
= 5 ×100
= $500
Since there is a fall in spending so the aggregate demand curve will shift leftwards.
Therefore, the correct option is b. left by $500 billion.
