Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Standard Deviation is a measure used to represent the volatility or risk in an instrument. The higher the SD, the higher will be the fluctuations in the returns and vice versa Given that:
the past 4 years an investment returned 0.1 -0.12 -0.08 and 0.13
[tex]Arithmetic\ mean=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}= \frac{0.1+(-0.12)+(-0.08)+0.13}{4} =0.0075[/tex]
The standard deviation (σ) is:
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{ \frac{\Sigma(x_i-mean)2}{n-1} }=\sqrt{\frac{(0.1-0.0075)^2+(-0.12-0.0075)^2+(-0.08-0.0075)^2+(0.13-0.0075)^2}{3} } \\\\\sigma=12.58\%[/tex]
SAP Inc. received a $1.5 million grant under its Small Business Innovation program. SAP invested the grant money and developed a system to remove metal contaminants from storm water in shipyards. The firm estimates that each shipyard spends $500,000 a year on storm water clean-up efforts. If SAP is able to sign up and retain four shipyards in the first year onwards, what is the present value (PV) of the project (net of investment) if the cost of capital for SAP is 14% per year
Answer: $12,785,714
Explanation:
Present value of project:
= Revenue / Cost of capital
= (500,000 * 4 shipyards) / 14%
= $14,285,714
Net of investment:
= 14,285,714 - 1,500,000
= $12,785,714
1. Assume that your company is considering the lease of one of these HP copiers, and you expect that the average price for a color copy for your company would be $0.110 because you would carefully prioritize color copy jobs and reduce the number of copies requiring a large amount of color. You expect that training your copy center staff to properly use the new copier would cost about $6,150 for materials and lost work time. What is the breakeven number of color copies per year that would make you indifferent between the new HP copier and your current copier
Answer: 246,000 color copies
Explanation:
Cost of printing color pages using the old machine is not included so we will infer that.
We shall assume the cost of that to be $0.135.
In using this new copier made by HP, the cost saved per copy is:
= 0.135 - 0.110
= $0.025
The breakeven number of color copies that would make you indifferent would be the number of copies that would lead to a savings of $6,150 incurred on account of training the staff:
= 6,150 / 0.025
= 246,000 copies
The Peoria Supply Company sells for $30 one product that it purchases for $20. Budgeted sales in total dollars for next year are $720,000. The sales information needed for preparing the July budget follows:
Month Sales Revenue
May $30,000
June 42,000
July 51,000
August 54,000
Account balances at July 1 include these:
Cash $20,000
Merchandise inventory 18,000
Accounts receivable (sales) 23,000
Accounts payable (purchases) 12,000
The company pays for one-half of its purchases in the month of purchase and the remainder in the following month. End-of-month inventory must be 50 percent of the budgeted sales in units for the next month. A 2 percent cash discount on sales is allowed if payment is made during the month of sale. Experience indicates that 50 percent of the billings will be collected during the month of sale, 40 percent in the following month, 8 percent in the second following month, and 2 percent will be uncollectible. Total budgeted selling and administrative expenses (excluding bad debts) for the fiscal year are estimated at $180,000 , of which one-half is fixed expense (inclusive of a $20,000 annual depreciation charge). Fixed expenses are incurred evenly during the year. The other selling and administrative expenses vary with sales. Expenses are paid during the month incurred.

The price of a dozen eggs falls from $3 to $2.70. In response to this price change, the quantity supplied of eggs falls from 150,000 dozen eggs to 125,000 dozen eggs. What is the price elasticity of supply for eggs
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply=1.67
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is a measure of the degree of responsive of supply to a change in price . It is computed using the formula below:
% change in Quantity supply/% change in price
% change in Quantity supply= 125,000-150,000/150,000× 100=16.67%
% change in price = (2.70-3.00)/3.00× 100= 10.00%
Price elasticity of supply = 16.67/10.00=1.67
Price elasticity of supply=1.67

Turn off browse mode or quick nav, Tab to items, Space or Enter to pick up, Tab to move, Space or Enter to drop. Increases natural rate of unemployment reducing workers' collective bargaining rights extra financial benefits for the unemployed a large number of young people entering the labor force an increase in union membership Decreases natural rate of unemployment
Answer:
increases natural rate of unemployment
extra financial benefits for the unemployed
a large number of young people entering the labor force
an increase in union membership
Decreases natural rate of unemployment
reducing workers' collective bargaining rights
Explanation:
natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase
An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment
a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.7 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.67 million per year for 9 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 6.12 percent and a cost of equity of 11.61 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .77 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
$660,000
Explanation:
WACC = [wD * kD * (1 - t)] + [wE * kE]
WACC = [(0.77 / 1.77)*6.12%* (1 - 0.40)] + [(1 / 1.77)*11.61%]
WACC = 1.60% + 6.56%
WACC = 8.16%
Present value of annuity = Annuity*[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
Present value of annuity = $1.67*[1-(1.08156745763)^-9]/0.0816
Present value of annuity = $1.67*6.206374532
Present value of annuity = $10.36 million
NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
NPV = $10.36 million - $9.7 million
NPV = $660,000
KrAmerica Jewelers sold a necklace to George on a layaway plan. George paid a portion of the price and agreed to make additional payments over six months. The necklace was to remain in the possession of KrAmerica until payment was fully made. A burglary occurred at KrAmerica and the necklace along with other items were stolen. KrAmerica argued that George must bear the risk of loss. George sought recovery of the full value of the necklace. Explain who shall prevail for each claim.
Answer:
- KrAmerica will bear the risk of the loss
- George will not get full recovery for the value of the necklace
Explanation:
George only made some payments for the necklace and he had not taken possession of it yet. So the risk for the loss is with KrAmerica since they are the current owners of the necklace.
George was only to take possession of the necklace when payment was completed.
On the other hand George is seeking full recovery of the value of the necklace.
He has only made a part payment on the necklace, so he is not entitled to get the full value of the necklace.
Only the amount he has paid will be refunded to him.

Expected cash flows: FireRock Wheel Corp is evaluating a project in which there is a 40 percent probability of revenues totaling $4 million and a 60 percent probability of revenues totaling $2 million per year. Its cash expenses will be $1.0 million while depreciation expense will be $300,000. What is the expected free cash flow from taking the project if the marginal tax rate for the firm is 25 percent
Answer:
$1,425,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected free cash flow
Expected revenue$2,800,000
[(40%*$4 million)+(60%*$2 million)]
Less Cash Expenses $1,000,000
Less Depreciation Expense $300,000
EBIT$1,500,000
($2,800,000-$1,000,000-$300,000)
Tax $375,000
(25%*$1,500,000)
Net Income $1,125,000
($1,500,000-$375,000)
Add Depreciation Expense $300,000
Free Cash Flow $1,425,000
($1,125,000+$300,000)
Therefore the expected free cash flow is $1,425,000

As the Consumer Price Index increases, the value of money a. falls, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want. b. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. c. rises, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. d. rises, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want.
Answer:
D. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want.
Explanation:
In the case when the consumer price index rises, so the value of the money declines as the people would hold more money in order to purchase the goods and services what actually they want
Also it shows an inverse relationship between the consumer price index and the value of money i.e. if one thing is increased the other thing would decrease and vice versa
Therefore the option d is correct
Whitmer Inc. sells to customers all over the U.S., and all receipts come in to its headquarters in New York City. The firm's average accounts receivable balance is $2.5 million, and they are financed by a bank loan at an 11% annual interest rate. The firm is considering setting up a regional lockbox system to speed up collections, and it believes this would reduce receivables by 20%. If the annual cost of the system is $15,000, what pre-tax net annual savings would be realized
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Average accounts receivables = $2,500,000. Loan amount is also $2,500,000.
Interest rate is 11%. So, interest paid = $2,500,000*0.11 = $275,000
If the system reduces receivables by 20%,then current receivables = $2,500,000*0.8 = $2,000,000. So, loan amount = $2,000,000
Interest payable = $2,000,000*0.11 = $220,000
Cost of system = $15,000
Net annual savings = Interest payable without system - Interest payable after system installed - Cost of system
Net annual savings = $275,000 - $220,000 - $15,000
Net annual savings = $40,000
When the interest rate is above the equilibrium level, a. the quantity of money that people want to hold is less than the quantity of money that the Federal Reserve has supplied. b. people respond by buying interest-bearing bonds or by depositing money in interest-bearing bank accounts. c. bond issuers and banks respond by lowering the interest rates they offer. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When interest rate is above the equilibrium level, people would be less willing to hold cash. Instead they would prefer to save or invest in interest-bearing bonds. This is because as a result of the higher interest rate, interest paid on their deposit and investment would be higher.
As a result of the increase in savings, there would be an increase in the supply of loanable funds over demand for loanable funds. This would lead to a reduction in interest rate until equilibrium interest rate is reached.

Principal Printing produces custom labels and stationery for companies. In conducting CVP analysis of its Personalized Package, management decided to determine how many of the packages would need to be sold in order to justify continuing the product line. Management determined that fixed costs direct related to this particular product amounted to $54,000 annually. Principal reported $240,000 of gross sales related to this product and variable product costs of $180,000. Assuming that each Personalized Package sells for $12 per unit, what is the minimum amount of total sales dollars of Personalized Packages that Principal needs in order to justify the product line
Answer:
18,000 personalized packages
Explanation:
Profit-volume ratio = ($240,000 - $180,000) / $240,000
Profit-volume ratio = 0.25
Profit-volume ratio= 25%
Break-Even-Point = $54,000 / 25%
Break-Even-Point = 216,000
The minimum personalized packages that needs to sell to break even:
= Break-Even-Point / Personalized Package sales per unit
= 216,000 / $12
= 18,000 personalized packages
Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 120 boots for $18 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $8, and special stitching will add another $2 per pair to the cost. Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer:
Differential income = $960
Explanation:
In a special order decision , the offer should be accepted if the sales revenue from the order is greater than the relevant costs of the special orders.
The relevant costs of the special order = variable cost + additional cost of special stitching machine
$
Sales revenue (120× $18) 2,160
The relevant costs of the special order
= (120×8) + (120×2) (1,200)
Differential income 960
The following units of a particular item were available for sale during the calendar year:

Sept. 2 Sale 4,500 units
Nov. 15 Purchase 1,000 units at $25
The firm maintains a perpetual inventory system. Determine the cost of goods sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, assuming the first-in, first-out method.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $152,000
Closing inventory $97,000
Explanation:
Under the FIFO system , inventories are priced using the price of the oldest batch in the stock, after which the price of the next oldest batch and this is done in turn. It is based on the principle that the first batch that arrives the store should be issued first.
Total units sold = 2,500+4,500= 7,000
Using the FIFO method of the perpetual inventory, the 7,000 units sold by will be priced as follows:
2500 units at a price of $20 = $50,000
Next 1500units at a price of $20 = $30,000
Next 3,000 units at a price of $24= $72,000
Cost of goods sold 152,000
Closing inventory = Total cost of goods available for sale- cost of goods sold
Total cost of goods available for sale =
(4,000× 20) + (6,000× 24) + (1,000× $25) = 249,000
Closing inventory = 249,000 - 152,000=$97,000

A leader has a problem of low Product X sales. She meets individually (i.e., one at a time) with a number of her subordinates and shares the problem of low Product X sales. She asks for their ideas and suggestions about how to increase Product X sales and then makes the decision alone based on their input. According to Vroom and Yetton's normative theory of leadership, what decision-making style is the leader using in this situation
Answer: CI consultative.
Explanation:
According to Vroom and Yetton's normative theory of leadership, the decision-making style that the leader is using in this situation is the consultative leadership style.

A public good is A. any good provided by government. B. a good that can be most cheaply provided by government, though it may in fact be provided by private enterprise. C. a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people. D. a good whose benefits cannot be enjoyed by an individual alone.
Answer:
C. a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
A public good is a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people.
This ultimately implies that, a public good such as power utility (electricity) or water supply is capable of being provided simultaneously to the general public.
Furthermore, a public good is non-excludable and cannot be exhausted due to its use by the general public i.e it's never depleted.

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return.
Required:
a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell.
b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities.
d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentarily that it will immediately reduce its plowback ratio to 1/3. Find the intrinsic value of the stock.
Answer:
a $7.95
b. $2.21
c $16.36
d, $13.01
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 2/3 = 1/3
1/3 x 3.6 = $1.2
r = cost of equity
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
5% + 1.7(15 - 5) = 22%
g = growth rate
g = plowback rate x ROE
2/3 X 9 = 6%
1. [1.2 x 1.06] / (0.22 - 0.06) = 1.272/ 0.16 = $7.95
2.
The price to earning ratio is a financial metric used to value a company. it compares the price of a stock to the earnings of the stock. the lower the metric is, the higher the valuation of the firm
price to earning ratio = market value per share / earnings
$7.95 / $3.6 = $2.21
c. present value of growth opportunities = earnings / cost of equity
3.6 / 0.22 = $16.36
d.
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
2/3 x 3.6 = $2.40
r = cost of equity = 22%
g = plowback rate x ROE
1/3 X 9 = 3%
[2.4 x 1.03] / (0.22 - 0.03) = 2.472/ 0.19 = $13.01
At the end of the first year of operations, Meacham's balance sheet showed the following account balances: Accounts Receivable, $13,400; Inventory, $9,400; and Accounts Payable, $14,650. The company's income statement reports net income of $37,400, including depreciation expense of $10,400. Using only the given information, compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.
Answer:
$39,650
Explanation:
Compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect
Using this formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=Net income-Accounts Receivable-Inventory+Accounts Payable+depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=$37,400 - $13,400 - $9,400 + $14,650 + $10,400
Net cash flow from operating activities= $39,650
Therefore Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect is $39,650
