Michelle Duncan wants to know her affordable home purchase price. Her annual gross income is $49,800. She has $820 per month of other debt and expects her property taxes and homeowners insurance to cost $270 per month. She knows she can get a 8.50%, 30-year mortgage so that her mortgage payment factor is $7.69. She expects to make a 25% down payment. What is Michelle's affordable home purchase price? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
a) $21,110
b) $253,316
c) $63,329
d) $84,439
e) $48,710

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d) $84,439

Explanation:

We can use the rule of 28/36 to calculate Michelle's affordable home purchase. She should only spend up to 28% of her monthly income on housing expenses and up to 36% of her monthly income paying for debt service.

monthly salary = $49,800 / 12 = $4,150

her total monthly amount to pay for debt service = $4,150 x 36% = $1,494

she is already paying $820 per month for other debts, so her monthly payment should be less than: $1,494 - $820 = $674

her total monthly amount to pay for housing expense = $4,150 x 28% = $1,162

she is planning on paying $270 in related house expenses, so her monthly payment should be less than: $1,162 - $270 = $892

out of the five options, Michelle cannot afford to buy the $253,316 house, but she can afford to buy the $84,439 house.

[($21,110 x 0.75) / $1,000] x 7.69 = $121.75 monthly payment

[($253,316 x 0.75) / $1,000] x 7.69 = $1,461 monthly payment

[($63,329 x 0.75) / $1,000] x 7.69 = $365.25 monthly payment

[($84,439 x 0.75) / $1,000] x 7.69 = $487 monthly payment

[($48,710 x 0.75) / $1,000] x 7.69 = $280.93 monthly payment

Customer groups represent different segments if: ___________.a. Their needs require different products/services or different prices. b. Other elements of the canvas need to change in order to reach them. c. They can be categorized into different groups. d. Distinctions only matter if tailoring parts of the business to reach some customers makes it more difficult to reach other customers.

Answers

Answer:

a. Their needs require different products/services or different prices

Explanation:

A customer segment is a term in business that is used to describe a group of consumers with identical or related needs, behaviors, or other characteristics. For example Mass Market, Niche Market, etc.

However, customer groups represent separate segments based on the following:

1. their needs mandate and justify a distinct offer

2. they are sold through various distribution means.

3. they need different types of connection or arrangement.

4. they are ready to pay for various items of the offer

A perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run when:________. A. economic losses occur. B. the price is below the average total cost curve. C. the price is below the average variable cost curve. D. the price is below the average fixed cost curve.

Answers

Answer:

C. the price is below the average variable cost curve.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Hence, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Some examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

A perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run when the price it is selling its goods (products) in the market is below the average variable cost curve.

This ultimately implies that, a business firm should only continue to be in operation when its price is above or greater than its average variable costs based on the shutdown rule.

The following transactions were completed by the company. The company completed consulting work for a client and immediately collected $7,000 cash earned. The company completed commission work for a client and sent a bill for $5,500 to be received within 30 days. The company paid an assistant $2,150 cash as wages for the period. The company collected $2,750 cash as a partial payment for the amount owed by the client in transaction b. The company paid $1,000 cash for this period's cleaning services. Required: Enter the impact of each transaction on individual items of the accounting equation. (Enter decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)

Answers

Answer:

The Company

The Impact of Each Transaction on the Accounting Equation:

1. Assets (Cash + $7,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $7,000)

2. Assets (Accounts Receivable + $5,500) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $5,500)

3. Assets (Cash -$2,150) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$2,150)

4. Assets (Cash +$2,750 Accounts Receivable -$2,750) = Liabilities + Equity

5. Assets (Cash -$1,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$1,000)

Explanation:

The Company applies the accounting equation, which states that Assets = Liabilities + Equity.  With each transaction, the accounting equation is demonstrated as shown above.  This means that each transaction that is properly recorded affects the accounting equation in two ways.  Note that the accounting equation is the basis for the double-entry system of financial accounting.

Answers

Answer:

the estimation of the cost of equity is 7.4%

Explanation:

The computation of the estimation of the cost of equity is shown below:

Here we used the Capital Asset Pricing model formula i.e.

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × market risk premium

= 6% + 0.20 × 7%

= 6% + 1.4%

Answers

Answer:

Scubapro Corporation

The investor who currently has 20,000 shares has the right to buy this number of shares, if she exercises her preemptive right:

E) 8,000 shares.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Outstanding common stock = 500,000

Planned issue of additional shares = 200,000

Proportion of new issue to outstanding = 0.40 (200,000/500,000)

For an investor with 20,000 shares, she has the right to buy 8,000 (20,000 * 0.40) additional shares.

What is the weighted average cost of capital of Corporation?

Answers

Answer:

The weighted average cost of capital of Corporation is 11.4%

Explanation:

Now use following formula to calculate the weighted average cost of equity

WACC = ( Weight of equity x Cost of equity ) + ( Weight of debt x Cost of debt (after tax ) )

Weight

Equity  = 100%

Debt = 50%

Cost

First we need to calculate the cost of equity using CAPM formula

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Market risk premium )

Placing values in the formula

Cost of equity = 8% + 0.90 x  7%

Cost of equity = 14.3%

Cost of debt = 8%

Cost of debt (after tax ) = 8% x ( 1 - 30% ) = 5.6%

Placing values in the formula of Weighted average cost of capital

WACC = ( ( 100%/150% ) x 14.3% ) + ( ( 50% / 150% ) x 5.6% )

WACC = 9.53% + 1.87%

WACC = 11.4%

Answers

Answer:

d. 10.6% higher

Explanation:

Given that;

Real GDP = $13.2 trillion

Nominal GDP = $14.6 trillion

GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP/Real GDP)× 100)

Hence,

GDP deflator = (14.6 / 13.2 ) × 100

GDP deflator = 110.6%

Thus,

= 110.6 - 100

= 10.6% higher

While intangible assets have no physical shape or size, they pack lots of power for your business. If you and your employees have worked hard to create trademarks, patents, or copyrights, for example, you can use these assets in several ways to grow your business or increase business profit.

What are Intangible Assets?

An Intangible Asset is a business asset which has no material substance. Intangible assets can be found in all areas of a business. For example:

Technology, like technical manuals, engineering processes, computer software

Customer relationships,

Contracts, franchises, licenses, and permits

Trained and competent workers (called workforce in place)

Some intangible assets are intellectual property. That is, they are specifically created by individuals and protected by laws from being stolen. Examples of intellectual property are trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and patents.

Customer relationships, including goodwill (the value of customer relationships),

Trade secrets, brand recognition, and proprietary business processes ("the way we do things in this company")

Marketing and advertising campaigns and materials

Location-related assets like land, water, and mineral rights.

How to Use Intangible Assets

Selling Intangible Assets

Some general intangibles, like business processes, can be packaged and sold. Create and sell a book on "the way we do things at XYZ company," with examples of how you did it. You don't have to give away all of your trade secrets, though. Just those that can be translated into other types of businesses.

You can also sell a copyright. Musicians often sell a music copyright, but more often they license the rights. These licenses are called Creative Commons Licenses.

Use Them to Increase Value in the Sale of Your Business

Goodwill is an important asset in the sale of a business. In a business sale, particularly one in which you are selling the business as a going concern, goodwill is the difference between the fair market price or book value of all the business assets and the sale price.

Other general intangible assets and intellectual property may also be valued and included in the selling price of a business.

License or Assign Assets Like Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks

If your business has patents or trademarks, you can license the patent rights to someone, who can produce products from them. You can receive royalties on a continuing basis and set up criteria for use of the products made from these assets.

You may also want to consider assigning an asset, as a permanent sale.

Amortize Intangible Assets

Amortization is a calculation which allows you to spread out the expense of an intangible asset over its useful life, instead of capitalizing it in just one year. Amortization works like depreciation. Having expenses in several years allows you to reduce your business income during these years, thus reducing your business tax bill.

Under Section 197 of the Internal Revenue Code, the IRS designates certain intangible assets that can be amortized over 15 years and other intangible assets which cannot be amortized. The complete list is on Section 197 Intangible Assets.

Getting Help from an Intellectual Property Attorney

For most of these ways to use your intangible assets, you will need to hire a special attorney called an intellectual property lawyer, who can help you navigate the tricky world of selling and licensing.

Geralds manufacturing firm sold goods worth $6000 to some customers on credit in the month of January. His customers plan to pay him the entire amount at once in March. Gerald plans to record and recognize this income in the business’s accounts in March. Which accounting method does Geralds business follow?

His business follows the (________) method of accounting.

Answers

Answer:

Cash accounting method

Explanation:

The cash accounting method records receipts and expenses during the period in which cash changes hands. In this method, revenue will be recorded when payment from a customer is received. Expenses are not recorded unless money is paid out.  In short, revenues and expenses are recognized and recorded only when cash is received or paid.

Cash accounting contrasts with the accrual accounting system, which recognizes revenues and expenses when their respective events occur.

The Backwoods American company in Problem 2.1 produces approximately 20,000 parkas annually. The quality management program the company implemented was able to improve the average percentage of good parkas produced by 2% each year, beginning with 83% good-quality parkas in 2012. Only about 20% of poor-quality parkas can be reworked.

Total (not per parka) direct manufacturing cost is given below:

Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007

Direct Manufacturing Cost $420,900 $423,400 $424,700 $436,100 $435,500

A) Compute the product yield for each of the five years.

B) Using a rework cost of $12 per parka, determine the manufacturing cost per good parka for each of the five years. What you can you conclude about the improvement process?

Answers

Answer:

a.  2003 product yield = 20,000(0.83) + 20,000 (1 - 0.83)(0.20)

= 16,600 + 680

= 17,280 parkas

2004 product yield = 20,000*(0.85) + 20,000*(0.15)(0.20)

= 17,000 + 600

= 17,600 parkas

2005 product yield =  20,000*(0.87) + 20,000*(0.13)(0.20)

= 17,400 + 520

= 17,920 parkas

2006 product yield = 20,000*(0.89) + 20,000*(0.11)(0.20)

= 17,800 + 440

= 18,240 parkas

2007 product yield = 20,000*(0.91) + 20,000*(0.09)(0.20)

= 18,200 + 360

= 18,560 parkas

b. 2003 manufacturing cost per good parka = 420,900 + 12*(20,000)(0.17)(0.20) /17,280

= 420,900 + 12 (680) / 17,280

= 429,060 /17,280

= $24.83

2004 manufacturing cost per good parka =  423,400 + 12*(600) /17,600

= 430,600 /17,600

= $24.47

2005 manufacturing cost per good parka = 424,700 + 12*(520) / 17,920

= 430,940 /17,920

= $24.05

2006 manufacturing cost per good parka =  436,100 + 12*(440) / 18,240

= 441,380 /18,240

= $24.20

2007 manufacturing cost per good parka =  435,500 + 12 *(360) /18,560

= 439,820 / 18,560

= $23.70

A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?

Answers

Answer:

The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945

Explanation:

The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit

Monthly deposit = 2,100

Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month

Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit

FW = A(F/A, i, n)

A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80

FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]

FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]

FW = $2100*(121.671)

FW = $255,509.10

We calculate the effective interest rate

i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1

i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)

i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1

i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1

i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1

i (effective) = 0.030301

i (effective) = 3.0301%

The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%

We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings

FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]

A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)

FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]

FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]

FW = 5,000*(38.71282)

FW = $193,564.10

The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10

We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal

Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)

Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10

The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 13%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. What will be the market price of the security if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.

Answers

Answer: New Market price =$29.55

Explanation:

Using the   CAPM,Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM formule ,  The expected return on stock is given as

Er = Rf +β( Mr)

which means

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)

13%= 4% +beta (6%)

beta= 13%-4%/6%=0.13-0.04 /0.06

beta= 1.5

The dividend expected  to be paid is given as

Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return

= 50 X 13%

= $6.5

Now, if beta doubles, Expected return becomes

Er = Rf + 2β( Mr)  

Er= 4% + 2 x 1.5( 6%)

=4%+ 3.0( 6%)

0.04 + 0.18

Er = 0.22 = 22%

New Market price

Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return

Price = Expected dividend, D/Expected return

= $6.5/0.22

=$29.55
