If the economy booms, RTF, Inc., stock is expected to return 13 percent. If the economy goes into a recessionary period, then RTF is expected to only return 5 percent. The probability of a boom is 83 percent while the probability of a recession is 17 percent. What is the variance of the returns on RTF, Inc., stock

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 0.000903

Explanation:

Expected return is the sum of the probability that the other returns will happen.

= (13% * 83%) + (5% * 17%)

= 10.79 % + 0.85%

= 11.64%

Variance = ((Return during boom - Expected return)²*probability of boom) + ((Return during recession - Expected Return)²*probability of recession)

Variance = ((13% -11.64%)² * 83%) + (5% - 11.64%)² * 17%)

= 0.0001535168 + 0.0007495232

= 0.000903

B. The amount of a particular representative good produced in the economy.
C. The price of a particular representative good produced in the economy.
b) Which of the following are reasons that the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward?

B. As the price level rises, firms find it more profitable to hire workers at any given wage.
C. As the price level rises, firms decrease their investment, because it is more expensive to purchase capital.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are:

a) A. An economy's price level.

b) A. As the price level rises, firms expand their production because they can sell their output for more money.

Explanation:

On the one hand, in this type of economic model, the aggregate supply and demand represent the economy's price and quantity level regarding the output of the country as a whole. Therefore that in the vertical axis of the diagram the curves measures the price level of the economy and in the horizontal axis the curves measure the output that the economy produces at that given price.

On the other hand, the slope of the aggregate supply is upward because of the same reason as it is in the supply curve, because of the law of the supply, that states that there is a direct relationship between the price of the good an its quantity offered. Thefore that when the price level rises the firms will produce more because they can sell their production at a higher price.

At the beginning of its current fiscal year, Willie Corp.’s balance sheet showed assets of $11,400 and liabilities of $5,700. During the year, liabilities decreased by $1,200. Net income for the year was $3,050, and net assets at the end of the year were $6,150. There were no changes in paid-in capital during the year.
Required:
Calculate the dividends, if any, declared during the year.
Stockholders' Equity
Assets = Liabilities + PIC + RE
Beginning $11,900 = $6,300 + 0 +
Changes = (1,200) + 0 +
Ending = + +

Answers

Answer:

$8,750

Explanation:

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + PAID IN CAPITAL + RETAINED EARNINGS

beginning of the year:

$11,400 = $5,700 + paid in capital + retained earnings

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings = $5,700

end of the year:

$6,150 = $4,500 + paid in capital + retained earnings

paid in capital + ending retained earnings = $1,650

ending retained earnings = beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends = beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings - $5,700 = 0

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends - $1,650 = 0

let X = paid in capital

let Y =beginning retained earnings

X + Y - $5,700 = X + Y + $3,050 - dividends

we eliminate X and Y

-$5,700 = $3,050 - dividends

dividends = $5,700 + $3,050 = $8,750

Which of the following is not considered to be a liability? Answers: a. Wages Payable b. Unearned Revenues c. Accounts Payable d. Accounts Receivable

Answers

Answer:

d. Accounts Receivable.

Explanation:

In Financial accounting, liability can be defined as the amount of money being owed by an individual or organization to another.

Simply stated, liability is a debt being owed and as such it usually has "payable" in its account title on the balance sheet.

Generally, liabilities are recorded on the right side of the balance sheet and it comprises of financial informations such as warranties, bonds, loans, deferred revenues, mortgages, account payable etc.

Accounts Receivable is not considered to be a liability because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Accounts Receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.

1. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of -0.3, and a beta coefficient of -0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12% a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier

Answers

Answer:

Option A is riskier

Explanation:

In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.

To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.

For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.

Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price

Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option

An investor considers investing $10,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.30 that the economy will improve, 0.40 that it will stay the same, and 0.30 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $15,000, but it can also go down to $8,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $10,000.a. What is the expected value of his investment?b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the expected value of his investment?

$10,900

b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?

If the investor is risk neutral, then he pays little attention to market risk, therefore, he/she should invest because the expected value is higher than the investment.

c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse?

If the investor is risk averse, it means that he/she is afraid of market risk and likes to make decisions that involve the least possible risk. In this case, the possibility of losing money is not that large (in my opinion) and the expected value is relatively high, but a risk averse investor would probably prefer an investment that yields a lower rate but is more secure, e.g. US securities.

Explanation:

total investment $10,000

if economy improves = 0.30 x $15,000 = $4,500if economy remains the same = 0.40 x $10,000 = $4,000if economy deteriorates = 0.30 x $8,000 = $2,400

total expected value = $10,900

During June, Vixen Company sells $850,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 3% of the selling price. Customers returned $14,000 of merchandise for warranty replacement during the month. The entry to settle the customer warranties is:

Answers

Answer: Debit Warranty Expense $25,500; credit Estimated Warranty Liability $25,500.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that during June, Vixen Company sells $850,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty and that experience shows that warranty expenses average about 3% of the selling price and that customers returned $14,000 of merchandise for warranty replacement during the month.

The entry to settle the customer warranties is to debit Warranty Expense $25,500 and then credit Estimated Warranty Liability $25,500.

The warranty expense is calculated as:

= 3% × $850,000

= 0.03 × $850,000

= $25,500

Bonita Industries applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 80% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 130, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $5100. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 130 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is 45000?

Answers

Answer:

Direct Materials                   $ 33525

Explanation:

Bonita Industries

Job No. 130,

Manufacturing overhead  $5100.

Direct Labor =  $ 6375

5100                    80

x                        100

Using cross product  direct labor = 5100 *100/80= 6375.

We have

Work in Process inventory  $ 45000

Less

Manufacturing overhead  $5100.

Direct Labor                        $ 6375        

Direct Materials                   $ 33525

The Work in Process is debited with Direct Materials, Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads.

As we know the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads we can find out the Direct Materials by subtracting the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads from the Work In Process Inventory balance.

The manufacturer Mike and Ike, the fruit-flavored chewy candies, has changed its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12- to 17-year-olds. What type of market segmentation identifies its market

Answers

Answer:

Demographic

Explanation:

A market is segmented so as to narrow down a large market into a narrow base, or a target market. This helps the organization to be better focused on providing its services to these target groups of people. A market can be segmented on the basis of demography, psychography, behavior, and geography. Demography deals more with statistical data of the population being studied and would typically include; age, gender, race, income levels, etc.

So, when the manufacturer Mike and Ike changes its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12-17-years-old, he has segmented the market according to demography and age.

Explanation:

Harold Manufacturing produces denim clothing. This year, it produced 5,260 denim jackets at a manufacturing cost of $42 each. These jackets were damaged in the warehouse during storage Management investigated the matter and identified three alternatives for these jackets.
1. Jackets can be sold to a second-hand clothing shop for $8.00 each
2. Jackets can be disassembled at a cost of $31,800 and sold to a recycler for $12.00 each.
3. Jackets can be reworked and turned into good jackets. However, with the damage, management estimates it will be able to assemble the good parts of the 5,260 jackets into only 3,050 jackets. The remaining pieces of fabric will be discarded. The cost of reworking the jackets will be $102,200, but the ackets can then be sold for their regular price of $45.00 each.

Answer:

Incremental net income = $42,080

Explanation:

Note the the income would be that which result from the alternative action with the highest net income Note that the manufacturing cost of $12 per unit is not relevant for the purpose of this decision and hence would not form part of the analysis

                                                                                         $

Option one: Outright sale

Sales from disposal =   5,260× 8                               42,080

Option 2: disassembling

Revenue                                $12 × 5,260  =                63120

Cost of disassembling                                                 ( 31,800)

Net income                                                                   31,320

Option 3: Reworking

Sales revenue                       ($45.00× 3,050)              137250

Cost of reworking                                                           (102,200)

Net income                                                                      35,050

         

The outright option gives the highest net income hence should be considered.

Incremental net income = $42,080

Explanation:

A bond that pays interest annually yielded 6.01 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 3 percent. Given that information, the actual real rate of return on this bond for last year was _____percent.

Answers

Answer:

2.3%

Explanation:

The computation of the actual real rate of return is shown below:-

Actual real rate of return on this bond for last year = ((1 + Nominal rate of interest ) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate of return)) - 1

= ((1 + 0.0601) ÷ (1 + 0.03)) - 1

= 1.0601 ÷ 1.03 - 1

= 1.023 - 1

= 0.023

or

= 2.3%

Therefore for computing the actual rate of return we simply applied the above formula.

Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overhead budget is $8,000,000 for a planned outputs of 5,000,000 barrels. For September, the actual fixed cost was $8,750,000 for 5,100,000 barrels.
Required
a. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance.
b. If fixed overhead is applied on a per-barrel basis, determine the volume variance.
c. Provide formulas and an explanation.

Answers

Answer:

a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

Mr. and Ms. Kingsley owned acre as joint tenants in fee simple absolute. Ms Kingsley secretly conveyed her interest to herself in an instrument that added, "I hereby terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre with Mr. Kingsley." Ms. Kingsley thereafter leased a portion of the property to Mr. Matthew, over the objections of Mr. Kingsley for Mr. Matthew to use for holding boxing matches. Their lease provided that Mr. Matthew would pay $1000.00 on the first day of each month during which he was permitted to use the property. Mr. Kingsley demanded from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents received from Mr. Matthew.

Required:
Describe the property relations between the parties and Mr. Kingsley's rights and remedies.​

Answers

Answer:

Mr. and Ms. Kingsley as Joint Tenants

1. Property Relations between Mr. and Ms. Kingsley:  The titles show that the Kingsleys are living together but not married partners.  However, the Black-acre is jointly owned by these partners.  Each has equal rights and obligations over the acre.  Ms. Kingsley does not have absolute right to sell or lease any part of the acre without the consent of Mr. Kingsley or without obtaining a court permit to sell or lease, especially upon Mr. Kingsley's objections.  She also lacks the legal right to secretly "terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre" without the knowledge of Mr. Kingsley or without going through the applicable court process.

2. Mr. Kingsley's Rights and Remedies:  Having leased a portion of the acre to Mr. Matthew, Mr. Kingsley is entitled to half of the monthly lease payments.  He also has the right to demand from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents from the lease.  He can, in the absence of Ms. Kingsley's refusal, initiate a court process to enforce his joint-tenancy rights.

Explanation:

Joint-tenancy can exist between Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Kingsley, whether they are legally married or not.  Joint-tenancy can also exist between two or more parties without the intention of marriage.  The term is a legal term that describes an equally shared ownership interest in a property.  Joint-tenancy deeds are established in order to avoid the need for a probate in the case of a party's death.

Rizio Co. purchases a machine for $12,500, terms 210, n60, FOB shipping point. Rizio paid within the discount period and took the $250 discount. Transportation costs of $360 were paid by Rizio. The machine required mounting and power connections costing $895. Another $475 is paid to assemble the machine, and $40 of materials are used to get it into operation. During installation, the machine was damaged and $180 worth of repairs were made. Compute the cost recorded for this machine.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of machine= $14,200

Explanation:

According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.  

So we will add the purchase cost to the  installation cost , freight charges.

Note that the cost of the power connections, assembling and material used for installations all represent cost associated to bring the machine into ready for use.

Cost of machine = (12,500 - 250) + 360 + 895  + 475 + 40 + 180=  14,200

Cost of machine= $14,200

Gugenheim, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.5 percent and annual payments. The yield to maturity is 7.7 percent and the bond matures in 21 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond=$1,753.96

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Gugenheim, Inc can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Annual interest payment

= 6.5%% × 2000 = 130

PV of interest payment

PV = A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)

A- 130, r- 7.7, n- 21

= 130 × (1-(1.077)^(-21)/0.077)  = 1,332.743

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

RV - 2000, r- 7.7%, n- 21

PV = 2000 × (1.077)^(-21)  = 421.2115063

Step 3

Price of bond

=  1,332.743 + 421.211

=$1753.955

Price of bond=$1,753.96

Primus Corp. is planning to convert an existing warehouse into a new plant that will increase its production capacity by 45 percent. The cost of this project will be $7,125,000. It will result in additional cash flows of $1,875,000 for the next eight years. The discount rate is 12 percent.
a) What is the payback period?
b) What is the NPV for this project?
c) What is the IRR?

Answers

Answer:

3.8 years

$2,189,324.56

20.33%

Explanation:

Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Payback period = amount invested / cash flows = $7,125,000 / $1,875,000 = 3.8 years

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.

cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000

I = 12%

NPV = $2,189,324.56

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.

cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000

I = 12%

IRR = 20.33%

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

"The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price."

Answers

Answer:

The target selling price =$45  

Explanation:

The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost

The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)

The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.

The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.

The target selling price would be determined using te steps below:

Step 1: Calculate the unit cost

Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36  

Total unit cost = $36

Step 2: Calculate the target selling price

Target selling price = Unit cost + (25%× unit cost)

The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45  

The target selling price =$45

Consider a product with a daily demand of 600 units, a setup cost per production run of $200, a monthly holding cost per unit of $5.00, and an annual production rate of 300,000 units. The firm operates and experiences demand 300 days per year.

Required:
a. What is the optimum size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year if cost of each unit is 10 dollars?
e. Suppose that management mistakenly used the basic EOQ model to calculate the batch size instead of using the POQ model. How much money per year has that mistake cost the company?

Answers

Answer:

a. 3,795 units

b. $1,897.50

c.  $2,845.80

d. $42,693.80

Explanation:

Optimum size for the Production ran is the size that minimizes Set-up costs and Holding costs.

Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 × Annual Production × Set-up cost) / Holding Cost per unit

Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 ×  600 × 300 × $200) / $5.00

                                                       = 3,794.73 or 3,795 units

Average Holding Cost = Optimum size for the Production / 2

                                     =  3,795 units / 2

                                     =  $1,897.50

Set - up Cost = Total Annual Production / Optimum size for the Production × Set - up cost per unit

                     = ((600 × 300) / 3,795)× $5.00

                     = $237.15

Annual cost = $237.15 × 12

                    = $2,845.80

Total Cost Calculation

Purchase Price (3,795 × $10)  = $37,950.50

Holding Cost                            =    $1,897.50

Set - up Cost                            =   $2,845.80

Total Cost                                 = $42,693.80

POQ = Optimum size for the Production / Annual Demand

        = 3,795 units / (300 × 600)

        = 0.021

Sinking fund bonds: A. Are bearer bonds. B. Are registered bonds. C. Require equal payments of both principal and interest over the life of the bond issue. D. Require the issuer to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. E. Decline in value over time.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Sinking funds require the issuer(borrower) to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. Sinking fund helps the issuer to secure a bond with lower yield.

An agreed amount is deposited at an agreed period (e.g yearly) so as to pay of the par value or principal value at maturity.

Raphael's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Raphael's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Raphael signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Raphael's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Raphael cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.

However, Raphael's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Raphael lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are____________ inputs, and the ovens are_____________ inputs.

Answers

Answer:

However, Raphael's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Raphael lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed inputs.

Explanation:

In the long run, all inputs are variable because eventually lease contracts expire, or they can move to new facilities. But on the short run, some inputs are fixed due to certain restraints. In this case, the restraints are the size of the kitchen and the lease contract for three ovens.

In the short run, the only input that Raphael can vary is the number of workers that he employs every week.

The Freeman Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project?

Answers

Complete question is given at the end of the question.

Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

Net Income is an accounting profits which includes both cash flow items and non cash flow items. It can be calculated as under:

Net Income = (Sales  -  Cost  - Depreciation) -  (Income Before Tax * Tax Rate)

The computation is given in the Second excel sheet attached.

Requirement 2:

According to relevant costing principles if the cost is relevant then it must satisfy following conditions:

Must be cash flow in nature.Must be Future related (no past commitments).Differential or must be incremental

So this means that the depreciation would not be taken into account as it is not a relevant cost and thus must not be included as an incremental cost.

Incremental Cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:

Incremental Cash Flow = Net Income  + Depreciation (Removing its impact) - Working Capital Injection + Working Capital Withdrawal

The calculation for each year is shown in the second attachment.

Requirement 3:

The NPV can be calculated by discounting each year cash flow by the rate of return which in this case is 12%.

The formula for calculating the NPV is as under:

NPV = Investment in year zero -  Net Cash Flow of Y1 / (1 + r)^1      -  Net Cash Flow of Y2 / (1 + r)^2     -  Net Cash Flow of Y3  / (1 + r)^3             -  Net Cash Flow of Y4 / (1 + r)^4

The computation of NPV is given in the second attachment given below:

What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 9 percent, a par value of $1,000, and 10 years to maturity? (Assume semi-annual compounding)

Answers

Answer:

$414.64

Explanation:

For computing the value of zero-coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5%

NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years  

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $414.64
