Answer:
Stock Price is $54.50
Cash Dividend per share $1.50
Dividend Yield 2.75%
Dividend payout ratio 27.46%
Days Sales in Receivable 38 days
Debt Ratio 68.29%
Debt/equity ratio 1.57
Interest earned ratio 3.16 times
Explanation:
1. Market price = Price to earning ratio * Earning per share
Earnings per share = Net Income / Average number of shares outstanding
Earnings per share : 233 / 42.7 = 5.45
Market price per share : 10 * 5.45 = 54.50
2. Dividend per share : Dividend paid / number of shares outstanding
DPS : 64 / 42.7 = 1.50
3. Dividend Yield : Dividend per share / Stock Price share
Dividend Yield : 1.50 / 54.50
4. Dividend Payout ratio : Total Dividend paid / Net Income
Dividend Payout ratio : 64 / 233 = 27.46%
5. Day Receivale : (Average Receivable / Sales ) * 365
Days Receivables : 322/ 3064 * 365 = 38 days
6. Debt Ratio : Total Liabilities / Total Assets
Debt ratio : 2194 / 3215 = 68.29%
7. Debt/ equity ratio : Debt / Equity
Debt/Equity : 1603 / 1021 = 1.57
8. Interest Earned Ratio : Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Interest Earned Ratio : 310 / 98 = 3.16 times
ABC Company manufactures a contraption meant to enable a rider to fly behind a ski boat. After a few months, ABC begins to hear of injuries when riders crash into water or boats. In hopes of escaping liability, the president of ABC Company decides to discontinue business and sell all assets to XYZ Company. The president of XYZ Company is excited to purchase the assets at a bargain price and help ABC avoid liability based upon the assertion of the president of ABC that XYZ cannot legally be held liable for the flying accidents. Which of the following is true in a majority of states applying the traditional successor liability rule?
a. XYZ Company will not be held liable for the accidents so long as there is no contractual agreement by which it agrees to accept liability.
b. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it continues to manufacture the same product lines as ABC.
c. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it keeps the same tax number as ABC Company.
d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.
Answer:
d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.
Explanation:
Successor liability basically means that any creditor or plaintiff can recover from the company or individual that purchases an asset or a business (in this case ABC company) from any liabilities that may have been originated before the exchange transaction was finished, even if the firm or individual that purchases the asset or company did not assume or will not want to assume any liabilities as part of the exchange deal.
In other words, XYZ is liable for any lawsuits regarding the contraption device previously manufactured by ABC.
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the _________ approach.
A. positivistic/empirical
B. interpretive
C. critical
D. scientific
Answer:
B. interpretive
Explanation:
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the interpretive approach.
In an interpretive approach to research, researchers are mainly focused on deciphering detailed meaning or rich descriptions so they can have a better understanding of the subject matter.
Under interpretive study, it is assumed that the meaning associated with matters are subjective and inter-subjective depending on their perception, thus researchers attempt to understand matters through the meanings attached by individuals in the sampling population.
Hence, interpretive researchers assume that issues are not singular or objective but depends on various human experiences.

Gerritt wants to buy a car that costs $31,000. The interest rate on his loan is 5.67 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 5 years. What are his monthly payments?
Answer:
$594.57
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $31,000
Future value or Face value = 0
Rate = 5.67% ÷ 12 months = 0.4725
NPER = 5 years × 12 = 60 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the formula, the monthly payment is $594.57
A bond's credit ratingt provides a guides to its risk. suppose that long term bonds Aa currently offers yield to mjaturity of 7.5%. A-rated bonds sell at yields of 7.8%. Sud- pose that a 10-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.6% is downgraded by Moody's from an Aa to A rating.
Required:
a. Is the bond likely to sell above or below par value before the downgrade?
b. Is the bond likely to sell above or below par value after the downgrade?
Answer:
a.- above par (premium)
b.- below par (discount)
Explanation:
Currenly the bonds par yield will be of 7.6%
Before the downgrade the expected return on that risk was 7.5% so it was above par.
Once the downgrade occurs: the expected return considering the increased risk is 7.8% Therefore the market price will decrease. This will move the yield to maturity from 7.5% to 7.8% and the market price below par.

If 350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month, the total variable cost reported on the income statementforthe month is $:___________
Answer:
Total variable cost= $71,940.54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490.
Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold.
350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost per unit:
Unitary production cost= 72,490/350= $207.11
Now, we can calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= (207.11 + 22)*314= $71,940.54

Explanation:
Common Stocks are at no par value:
This means that ,
1.When Common Stocks are Issued, the value is the issue price there is no share premium reserve on it.
2. For consideration paid in Common Stocks, value of stocks would be the same as the cost at initial recognition. For example the Purchase of Land on April 1. Initial recognition is at Asking Price of $91,000. Hence common stocks are issued at $91,000.
Preference Stocks are at $100 par
This means that,
1.Any issue of Preference Stock made in excess of par value is accounted in the Preference Share Premium Reserve.
Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years
Answer:
$28,533.5
Explanation:
Principal value (PV) = $275,000
Time = 20 years
Rate = 8.25%
Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)
275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)
275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)
22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))
22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = p(0.7951)
P = 22687.5 / 0.7951
P = $28533.5
The Borio Company had an asset with an $8 book value and a $7 market value; it decided to distribute the asset as a property dividend. Journal entries were made to adjust the property to market value and declare the dividend. Indicate the combined effect on the Net Income and Total Assets, respectively:
Answer:
The net income will decrease and also the total assets will also decrease
Explanation:
Here, we want to know the combined effect on net income and total assets of company that made a decision of distributing assets as a property dividend.
As the asset value is down the entry is asset (credit) and loss on asset (debit)
This will effect the net income as it will come down and total assets value also come down
1. A small-scale businessman deposits money at the beginning of each year into his savings account, depending on the level of the business’ returns. He deposits $1000 in the first year, $3000 in the second year, $5000 in the third and $7000 in the fourth year and annual interest rate of 7%. What is the value of the investment at the time of his first deposit?
Answer:
The value of the investment at the time of his first deposit is $1,000.
At the end of the first year, the investment will be worth $1,070.
Explanation:
The value of a deposit investment is determined by the interest rate and time. Time affects the value of an investment by this small-scale businessman in many ways. The passage of time increases the value of his investment. However, the total increase may not be due to the interest rate, but inflation also affects asset's value. For this businessman to make a gain in the investment, the interest rate must be higher than the inflation rate. Otherwise, the investment loses money due to the effects of inflation, which reduces the real value of an asset over time.
Total Variable Overhead Variance Mulliner Company showed the following information for the year:
Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $3.50
Standard hours (SH) allowed per unit 3
Actual production in units 20,000
Actual variable overhead costs $220,500
Actual direct labor hours 61,200
Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct labor hours for actual production.
2. Calculate the applied variable overhead.
3. Calculate the total variable overhead variance.
Answer:
1. The standard direct labor hours for actual production
Standard hours per unit: 3 hours
Actual output: 20,000
Standard labour hours for actual production = 20,000 * 3
=60,000 hours
2. Applied variable Overhead
Standard hours allowed per unit = 3
Overhead rate per hour = $3.5
Standard Overhead rate per unit = Standard hours allowed per unit * OH rate per hour =3 hours * $3.5
=10.5
Actual output = 20000
Variable OH applied = Actual output * Standard Overhead rate per unit
= 20,000 * $10.5
= $210,000
3. Total Variable Overhead variance
Actual Oh incurred $220,500
Std variable Overhead to be allowed $210,000
Total Variable OH variance $10,500 (Unfavourable)

You have a $4 million portfolio consisting of a $100,000 investment in each of 20 different stocks. The portfolio has a beta of 1.1. You are considering selling $100,000 worth of one stock with a beta of 0.9 and using the proceeds to purchase another stock with a beta of 1.4. What will the portfolio’s new beta be after these transactions? Show your work.
Answer:
1.1125
Explanation:
the relative weight of the stocks that you are selling is $100,000/$4,000,000 = 0.025 = 2.5% of the portfolio
this means that their effect on the portfolio's beta was 0.9 x 0.025 = 0.0225
the new stocks that you want to purchase have a beta of 1.4 and their relative effect on the portfolio's beta will be 1.4 x 0.025 = 0.035
the difference between both stocks = 0.035 - 0.0225 = 0.0125
that means that the portfolio's new beta = 1.1 + 0.0125 = 1.1125
5.The real risk-free rate of interest is 2%. Inflation is expected to be 3.5% the next 2 years and 6% during the next 3 years after that. Assume that the maturity risk premium is zero. What is the yield on 3-year Treasury securities
Answer:
17.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield on 3 year treasury securities is shown below:
The Yield on 3 year is
= Risk free rate of return + Inflation premium + Market risk premium
= 2% + (3.5% + 6% + 6%) ÷ 3 years + 0
= 2% + 15.5% + 0
= 17.50%
Hence, the yield on 3 years is 17.50% by applying the above formulas by considering the given information

you are going to deposit $19000 today. You will earn an annual rateof 3.3 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 2.7 percent for 14 years. how much will you have in your account in 25 years?
Answer:
After 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.
Explanation:
First find the Future value of $19000 invested today at the end of 11 years.
PV = - $19,000
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 11
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 11 years will be $27,155.46.
Use the $27,155.46 to find future value at the end of the next 14 years at the rate of 2.70%
PV = - $27,155.46
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 14
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 14 years will be $42,782.05.
Thus, after 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.
Gift property (disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor): a.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain. b.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a loss, and the fair market value on the date of gift was less than the donor's adjusted basis. c.Has a zero basis to the donee if the fair market value on the date of gift is less than the donor's adjusted basis. d.Has no basis to the donee because he or she did not pay anything for the property.
Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.
Explanation:
For a gifted property, it should be noted that the tax basis for a donee that is, the person who gets the gift will be identical to that of the donor, this is, the person that donates the gift in cases whereby the property is gotten as a gift.
Therefore, a gift property disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor will have the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

Profit or Loss on New Stock Issue Security Brokers Inc. specializes in underwriting new issues by small firms. On a recent offering of Beedles Inc., the terms were as follows: Price to public: $5 per share Number of shares: 3 million Proceeds to Beedles: $14,000,000 The out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Security Brokers in the design and distribution of the issue were $340,000. What profit or loss would Security Brokers incur if the issue were sold to the public at the following average price? $5 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $ $6.25 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $ $4.25 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of profit or loss is shown below:
The formula used is
= (Price × number of shares) - proceeds to Beedles - out of pocket expenses
a. For $5 per share
= ($5 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= $15,000,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= $660,000
b. For $6.25 per share
= ($6.25 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= $18,750,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= $4,410,000
c. For $5 per share
= ($4.25 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= $12,750,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000
= -$1,590,000

Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 s_2s 2 s_3s 3 s_4s 4 s_5s 5 s_6s 6 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)
Answer: The answer is 7.53%
Explanation:
To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)
The discount factor is : d=1/1+i
Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.
Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;
Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)
Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)
Present value=0.748
The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.
Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:
1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748
(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴
1+d (0,4) =1.0753
d (0,4)=0.0753
Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%

If a company is considering optimizing the physical location for every activity in the value chain, which of the following is not a possible strategic advantage for that decision?
A. Performance enhancement
B. Cost reduction
C. Political risk reduction
D. Life-cycle enhancement
Answer:
The correct answer is: D. Life-cycle enhancement
Explanation:
When a company wants to optimize physical locations for all activities in the value chain, it must manage all elements of the value chain to improve processes and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the value chain. Therefore, some strategic advantages for this decision include the improvement of organizational performance, which would optimize the stages of the value chain, reducing waste, and the failures of the process, which would generate cost reduction. Compliance with legislation would also decrease political risks, being a significant strategic advantage for improving the value chain.
Therefore, the life-cycle enhancement may not constitute a strategic advantage, because this process requires greater capacity for the company to manage and monitor variable resources during the enhancement life cycle, which can generate greater difficulty in managing the value chain. and higher spending.
Ben has $500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal after-tax interest rate and the real after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.
Answer:
Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%Explanation:
The Nominal rate is 10%
Inflation rate is 6%
And Tax rate is 20%
Nominal after-tax interest rate
= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)

Kenneth Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending December 18 were $3,460, and his federal income tax withholding was $726.6. Assuming the social security rate is 6% and Medicare is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$2,473.9
Explanation:
The computation of net pay is shown below:-
Net pay = Gross pay - Federal income tax withholding - Social security tax - Medicare tax
= $3,460 - $726.6 - ($3,460 × 6%) - ($3,460 - 1.5%)
= $3,460 - $726.6 - $207.6 - $51.9
= $2,473.9
Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula i.e the three above taxes are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive net pay
