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
The inflation rate over the past year was 1.8 percent. If an investment had a real return of 7.2 percent, what was the nominal return on the investment
Answer:
9.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the nominal return on the investment is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal interest rate = {(1 + real interest rate) × (1 + inflation rate)} - 1
= {(1 + 0.072) × (1 + 0.018)} - 1
= (1.072 × 1.018) - 1
= 9.13%
Hence, the nominal interest rate could be find out by applying the above formula i.e by considering the real interest rate and the inflation rate
WACC and Cost of Common Equity
Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 45% common equity and 55% debt to fund its $10 billion in operating assets. Furthermore, Kahn Inc. has a WACC of 12%, a before-tax cost of debt of 10%, and a tax rate of 25%. The company's retained earnings are adequate to provide the common equity portion of its capital budget. Its expected dividend next year (D1) is $3, and the current stock price is $34.
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
Answer:
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
current stock price = expected dividend / (required rate of return - growth rate)
$34 = $3 / (12% - g)
12% - g = $3 / $34 = 8.82%
growth rate = 12% - 8.82% = 3.18%
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
WACC = (equity x Re) + [debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)]
12% = (45% x Re) + (55% x 10% x 0.75) = 0.45Re + 4.125%
0.45Re = 12% - 4.125% = 7.875%
Re = 7.875% / .45 = 17.5%
growth rate = (net income / equity) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = ($1.6 billion / $4.5 billion) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = 0.3556 x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
1 - dividend payout ratio = 3.18 / 0.3556 = 0.089
dividend payout ratio = 1 - 0.089 = 0.911
this means that the company distribute 91.1% of its net income to its stockholders
A company budgets 10,000 units of sales based on a projected selling price of $13.00. The actual units sold were 15,000 at a price of $10. What is the flexible budget for sales?
Answer:
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000
Explanation:
A flexible budget is that which is prepared for actual level of activity achieved. It is used for control purpose to determine how where the a business is doing in terms of performance .
The flexible budgeted is usually prepared at the end of the period to which it relates. In other words, it is prepared in retrospect. And it uses the assumptions of the fixed budget.
The flexible budget for sales = actual sales in units × Standard selling price
= 15,000× $13.00 = $195,000
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000
Use the following information for Shafer Company to compute inventory turnover for year 2.
Year 2 Year 1
Net sales $647,500 $582,000
Cost of goods sold 389,500 360,840
Ending inventory 76,700 79,380
a. 9.98
b. 9.98
c. 5.08
d. 4.99
e. 8.30
f. 8.44
Answer:
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
So option d is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Inventory turnover ratio is an accounting ratio which is used to determine the number of times the average level of inventory is sold off and replaced in a particular period. The formula to calculate the inventory turnover times is,
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Where,
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = (79380 + 76700) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = $78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 389500 / 78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
Assume that you are on the financial staff of Vanderheiden Inc., and you have collected the following data: The yield on the company's outstanding bonds is 7.75%; its tax rate is 40%; the next expected dividend is $0.65 a share; the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year; the price of the stock is $15.00 per share; the flotation cost for selling new shares is F
Answer: 7.48%
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of capital is simply the weighted average of the costs of equity and debt.
Cost of Equity
= [tex]\frac{Next dividend}{Stock Price ( 1 - flotation Costs)} + growth rate[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.65}{19(1 -0.1)} + 0.06[/tex]
= 9.80%
Cost of debt
= Interest ( 1 - Tax)
= 0.075 (1 - 0.40)
= 4.65%
WACC = 9.80% * 0.55 + 4.65% * 0.45
= 7.48%
Advika is a resident of India who exports hand-dyed fabrics to other nations. Since India has an exchange control system, what does this mean for Advika
Answer: The Reserve Bank of India keeps all of Advika’s foreign currency for her.
Explanation:
When a country uses exchange controls, it limits the amount of foreign currency that can come into a country. This is usually done to ensure stability in the money market of the country as well as to improve the balance of payments for the country.
One way of implementing exchange control is for all foreign currency to go through the Central bank of the country. Should a citizen need access to foreign currency, they would need to apply to the central bank to access it. With India having an exchange control system, the Reserve Bank of India keeps all foreign currency and Advika would have to apply for it should she need it.
This question explores the calculation of the unemployment rate. You will be provided some imperfect employment data for four different countries and asked to identify the unemployment rate. Task 1: The population of Asartaland is 95. Of these 95 individuals, 75 are in the labor force and 65 are employed. What is the unemployment rate in Asartaland
Answer:
Unemployment rate= 0.13= 13%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Of these 95 individuals, 75 are in the labor force and 65 are employed.
To calculate the unemployment rate, we need to use the following formula:
Unemployment rate= unmeployed population / labor force
Unemployment rate= 10/75
Unemployment rate= 0.13
The standard deviation of return on investment A is 25%, while the standard deviation of return on investment B is 20%. If the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is −0.260, the covariance of returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice –0.2080 –0.0130 0.0130 0.2080
Answer: –0.0130
Explanation:
Correlation given the variance and the standard deviation of the two returns can be calculated by;
Correlation coefficient = Covariance of returns on investment A and B / (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B).
Rearranging the formula, Covariance becomes;
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = Correlation coefficient * (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B)
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = -0.260 * 0.25 * 0.20
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = –0.0130

Maria, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Juan, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Juan still has significant time remaining on his lease. Juan has notified Maria in writing of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Juan’s options if Maria declines to do the repairs? Please discuss all remedies Juan may seek. Please remember to reference the contract and text to support your analysis.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
Joan may as well put a call through to Maria in addition to his previous mail. Several remedial options are available to Juan and each has its own merits and demerits. It is proper for the tenant to consider each options carefully and seek legal opinion where necessary. However, if Maria declines to do the repairs, Juan may seek the following remedies
• Repair and deduct remedy . In this type of remedy, a tenant may deduct money that is equivalent of a month's rent to cover the cost of the repair or defect. Rental unit 156 covers a condition whether faulty or substandard rented unit could affect the tenant's health and safety. Since the landlord has refused to do the repair, she is guilty of implied warranty of habitability which includes leak in the roof, gas leak, no running water etc. Also, the tenant may not have to file a lawsuit against the landlord since this type of remedy has legal aid. Other conditions attached in addition to the above are ; the repairs cannot cost more than a month's rent, the tenant cannot use the repair and deduct remedy more that twice in any 12 month period, tenant must have informed the landlord in writing and through calls of the faulty area that requires repair. His family or pets must not be the cause of the faulty area that needed to be repaired etc.
• The abandonment remedy . Here, the tenant could move out of the faulty unit or defective rental unit due to its substandard condition which could affect his health and safety. Where the tenant uses the abandonment remedy judiciously, he is not liable to pay any other rent once he has abandoned or moved out of the defective rental unit. The conditions attached are that; the defects must be serious and directly related to the tenant's health and safety, the tenant or his family must not be the cause of the faulty space that requires repair. Moreover, the tenant must have informed the landlord whether in writing or orally telephone calls of the defects that requires repair.
• The rent withholding remedy. Legally, a tenant could withhold house rent if the landlord fails to take care of serious defects that negates the implied warranty of habitability. Conditions attached to this type of remedy are; the defects to be repaired must have threatened the tenant's safety and wellbeing. Again, the faulty or defective unit must be such that it becomes uninhabitable for the tenant . The tenant, his family or pets must not be the cause of the defects that requires repairs. The tenant must have also notified the landlord either through phone calls on in writing, amongst others.
• The tenant could also file a lawsuit against the landlord to recover the cost expended to fixing the faulty repairs where the landlord was not willing to do so. Conditions that must be met before this option could stand in the court of law are; the rental unit has serious defect that is not safe for living. A housing inspector has inspected the house and found to be short of minimum requirements for habitable place etc. A tenant may seek this type of redress where the option for out of court settlement has failed with the landlord.
A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Pablo Hand, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal designs, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project. Suppose Hand had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that he could work on his sculptures near the location at which they would eventually be installed. He entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Bridges by Madison. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Bridges by Madison was bound by the contract that Hand entered? Help please here is the multiple choices
Answer:
Bridges by Madison and Hand
Agreement by Hand for a Warehouse:
1. Yes - when they agreed to work together, this implied that they would agree to be liable for each other's contracts.
Explanation:
This is especially as far as this joint project is concerned. Since the purpose of the warehouse was to further and fulfill the project, the agreement entered into by hand for a warehouse affects Bridges by Madison.
In a joint venture, every aspect of the project's lifetime is shared: shared profits, shared losses, shared rewards, shared risks, shared obligations and responsibilities, shared rights and privileges until the end of the project, which also ends the joint venture, unless there is a binding agreement to the contrary. In such a case, Hand would not have been a joint-venturer but a sub-contractor.
Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
$ 1,781.53
Explanation:
The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years
PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500
r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%
n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years
FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5
FV=$1500*1.187686306
FV=$ 1,781.53

Fenwick operates a grocery store and his retail building was completely destroyed by a hurricane on August 22, Year 10. The fair market value of the building before the hurricane was $1,200,000 with an adjusted basis of $800,000. His insurance company reimbursed him $1,200,000 of December 2, Year 10. When is the last date that Fenwick can replace this building with qualifying property and avoid recognizing gain from this transaction.A. December 31, 2013.B. August 22, 2015.C. December 31, 2015.D. December 31, 2016.
Answer:
D. December 31, 2016.
Explanation:
Fenwick company had retail building which was destroyed on August 22, hurricane. The hurricane was so intense that complete building was damaged. The building already had an insurance policy due to which the fair value of the building is reimbursed. Fenwick can claim the fair value of the building from an insurance company. If he replaces the building with qualifying building on the date he gets the insurance claim he will not be required to record gain of the transaction.
Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated useful life of 3 years or 30,000 hours. Using straight-line depreciation, calculate depreciation expense for the second year.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year using the straight line method is shown below:
As we know that
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($90,000) ÷ (3 years)
= $30,000
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life
Hence, the second year depreciation expense is $30,000
On September 1, the company acquired five acres of land with a building that will be used as a warehouse. Tristar paid $120,000 in cash for the property. According to appraisals, the land had a fair value of $85,400 and the building had a fair value of $54,600. On September 1, Tristar signed a $42,000 noninterest-bearing note to purchase equipment. The $42,000 payment is due on September 1, 2022. Assume that 9% is a reasonable interest rate. On September 15, a truck was donated to the corporation. Similar trucks were selling for $2,700. On September 18, the company paid its lawyer $4,000 for organizing the corporation. On October 10, Tristar purchased maintenance equipment for cash. The purchase price was $17,000 and $600 in freight charges also were paid. On December 2, Tristar acquired various items of office equipment. The company was short of cash and could not pay the $5,700 normal cash price. The supplier agreed to accept 200 shares of the company's no-par common stock in exchange for the equipment. The fair value of the stock is not readily determinable. On December 10, the company acquired a tract of land at a cost of $22,000. It paid $3,000 down and signed a 11% note with both principal and interest due in one year. Eleven percent is an appropriate rate of interest for this note.

Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%
2 430,000 40%
3 630,000 35%
To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $150,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 10%.
Required:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.

Explanation:
estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000
now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430
total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430
Your university is considering two projects to increase enrollment: offering traditional classes from midnight to 6 a.m. or offering house call classes where the professor would visit your home to provide instruction. Use a simple scoring model with at least three criteria to evaluate these two potential projects and indicate which project should be chosen.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The criteria for our simple scoring model will bee the following:
Project 1. Midnight to 6:00AM
CRITERIA. WEIGHT SCORE
-Number of teachers 3 3
-Teachers salaries. 3 3
-Classroom cost. 1 1
-N. Students 2 2
Project 2. Home visit.
-Number of teachers 3 3
-Teachers salaries. 3 3
-Transportation. 3 3
-N. Students. 3 3
As we can see in the tables, project 1 is more feasible because depending on the number of students, the school can use one or two classrooms which means hiring teachers according to the number of students registered in a class.
On project 2, the variables increased the costs and the risk because depending on the number of students and the classes needed, the school would have to hire many teachers for different class times. This could be exponential. Another issue to consider is the fact that on project number 2, the school has to pay for the transportation of teachers to the student's home.
So in general terms, project 1 is more feasible.
Game Depot manufactures video games that it sells for $39 each. The company uses a fixed manufacturing overhead allocation rate of $6 per game. Assume all costs and production levels are exactly as planned. The following data are from Game Depot's first two months in business during 2018: EEB
Read the requirements.
Requirement 1. Compute the product cost per game produced under absorption costing and under variable costing. October 2018 AbsorptionVariable costing costing Total product cost per game
Answer:
Using variable cost per unit method $20.15 per game
Using absorption costing $17 per game
Explanation:
Cost per game is ;
overhead allocation rate is $6
variable cost is $11
Fixed manufacturing overheads 16,200
Fixed selling and administrative cost 8,500
units sales in month of October is 1,700 units
Production units 2,700 units
Total Fixed Overheads 16,200 + 8,500 = 24,700
Overhead rate = 24,700/ 2700 = 9.15
Total cost per unit (Variable + Fixed) = $20.15 / unit
Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08
Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%
( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant 0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)
Explanation:
Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )
Rf =Risk free return = 3.6
Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%
A) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.89, 7.83%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.52 12.59%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.25 11.27%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced
c) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.27 14.50%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced
d) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.80 10.08%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) = 10.08%---- Correctly priced

Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold.
The cost of goods manufactured for May is:___________
$229,000
$234,000
$231,000
$236,000
Answer:
$234,000
Explanation:
cost of goods manufactured = beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead cost applied - ending work in process
cost of goods manufactured = $25,000 + $65,000 + $95,000 + $69,000 - $20,000 = $234,000
cost of goods sold = beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory + underapplied overhead
cost of goods sold = $54,000 + $234,000 - $58,000 + $2,000 = $232,000

The liquidity trap _____. rev: 06_20_2018 Multiple Choice makes expansionary monetary policy less effective makes contractionary monetary policy less effective makes expansionary fiscal policy less effective makes contractionary fiscal policy less effective
Answer:
Makes expansionary monetary policy less effective
Explanation:
A liquidity trap occurs when interest rates are already so low, that most of the public prefer to hold money as cash, instead of investing in bonds and other interest-bearing securities.
In a situation like this, expansionary monetary policy becomes less effective, because the central bank cannot boost the economy anymore by lowering interest rates (interest rates are lowered by increasing the money supply) because most of the public prefers to hold money as cash, and the interest rate is very low already.
what is the annual percentage yield(APY) for money at an annual rate of (a)4.57% monthly (b)4.58% compunded quartelty
Answer:
a)Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)Annual rate of return = 4.66%
Explanation:
Annul rate of return where compounding is done more frequenting could be worked out as follows:
Annual rate of return = (1+r)^n - 1
r - rate of return per period
n- number of periods in a year
a) Monthly rate of 4.57%
r- monthly rate = 4.57%/12 = 0.38% per month
n- 12 months
Annual rate of return = (1+ 0.003808)^12 - 1 × 100 = 4.67%
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
b) 4.58% compounded quarterly
r- quarterly rate = 4.58%/4 = 1.145 %
n- 4 quarters in a year
Annual rate of return = (1+0.01145)^4 - 1 × 100= 4.66%
a)4.57% monthly
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)4.58% compounded quarterly
Annual rate of return = 4.66%
