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 1

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

Tatum can borrow at 7.15 percent. The company currently has no debt and the cost of equity is 11.55 percent. The current value of the firm is $670,000. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. What will the value be if the company borrows $385,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) Value of the firm __________

Answers

Answer:

$766,250

Explanation:

The value of the firm is calculated as follows:

Value of firm = Current value + (Borrowing *Tax rate)

Value of firm = $670,000 + ($385,000*25%)

Value of firm = $670,000 + $96,250

Value of firm = $766,250

The value of the firm will be $766,250 if it borrows $385,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares.

You decide to invest $20,500 in Bank of America and $14,500 in Twitter. What is the portfolioâs beta? Bank of America beta: 1.27 Twitter beta: 1.96

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio containing two stock is as follows,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

As the investment in Stock of Bank of America is 20500 and the investment in stock of Twitter is 14500, the total investment in the portfolio will be,

Total investment = 20500 + 14500  =  35000

Portfolio Beta = 20500 / 35000 * 1.27  +  14500 / 35000 * 1.96

Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56

Mike Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $403,884 and has a guaranteed interest rate of 12%. How many years must Mike leave that balance in the fund in order to get his desired $1,000,000?
Assume that Sally Williams desires to accumulate $1 million in 15 years using her money market fund balance of $209,004. At what interest rate must Sallyâs investment compound annually? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5%.)

Answers

Answer:

Mike Finley

t = 7.999983133 years rounded off to 8 years

Sally Williams

r = 0.110000123 or 11.0000123% rounded off to 11.00%

Explanation:

Mike Finley

To calculate the time period it will take Mike Finley to become a millionaire, we will use the formula of future value of cash flow. The formula for future value of cash flow is as follows,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the interest rate or rate of returnt is the time period in years

Plugging in the values for Future value, present value and r in the formula, we can calculate the t to be,

1000000 = 403884 * (1+0.12)^t

1000000 / 403884  =  1.12^t

2.475958444 = 1.12^t

Taking log on both sides.

ln(2.475958444) / ln(1.12)  =  t

t = 7.999983133 years rounded off to 8 years

Sally Williams

We will use the same formula for future value of cash flows as we used above to calculate the rate at which investment should be compounded annually to grow to $1 million.

1000000 = 209004 * (1+r)^15

1000000 / 209004 = (1+r)^15

4.784597424 = (1+r)^15

Taking root of 1 on both sides.

(4.784597424)^1/15  =  (1+r)^15 * 1/15

1.110000123  =  1+r

1.110000123 - 1 = r

r = 0.110000123 or 11.0000123% rounded off to 11.00%

The proprietorship incurred expenses of $3,000 in February, which were paid in April. During March, Tory drew $1,000 against the capital account. In the proprietorship's financial statements for the two months ended March 31, prepared under the cash basis method of accounting, what amount should be reported as capital

Answers

The amount that should be reported as the capital is $6,000

Calculation of the capital amount:

The following formula should be used.

= Initial cash investment + Investments made + Income received - Drawings

= $2,000 + $0 + $5,000 - $1,000

= $6,000

As per the cash basis accounting method, the cash revenues is more than the cash expenses so the same should be considered as an income

Hence, the amount reported as capital is $6,000.

Toys "R" Us has decreased its receivable turnover over the last three years: which of the following may be a possible cause of this decrease? A) the company has been more selective in choosing reliable customers. B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms. C) the accounting department has increased the allowance for doubtful accounts. D) all of the above are correct

Answers

Answer:

B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms.

Explanation:

receivables turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable

A low receivables turnover ratio is usually a bad thing, since most companies sell on credit, i.e. their accounts receivable should be important. A high receivables turnover ratio means that the company is collecting its accounts receivable efficiently and its customers are good payers.

The key point here is average accounts receivable. What can result in a company having very high accounts receivable (compared to its total sales)? The answer is simple, their customers are not paying on time or the company had to extend their credit terms in order to attract more customers.

A private not-for-profit entity is working to create a cure for a disease. The charity starts the year with one asset, cash of $700,000. Net assets without donor restrictions are $400,000. Net assets with donor restrictions are $300,000. Of the restricted net assets, $160,000 is to be held and used to buy equipment, $40,000 is to be used for salaries, and the remaining $100,000 must be held permanently. The permanently held amount must be invested with 70 percent of any subsequent income used to cover advertising for fundraising purposes. The rest of the income is unrestricted.
During the current year, this health care entity has the following transactions:
1. Receives unrestricted cash gifts of $210,000.
2. Pays salaries of $80,000, with $20,000 of that amount coming from purpose-restricted donated funds. Of the total salaries, 40 percent is for administrative personnel. The remainder is divided evenly among individuals working on research to cure the disease and individuals employed for fundraising purposes.
3. Buys equipment for $300,000 by signing a long-term note for $250,000 and using restricted funds for the remainder. Of this equipment, 80 percent is used in research. The remainder is split evenly between administrative activities and fundraising. The donor of the restricted funds made no stipulation about the reporting of the equipment purchase.
4. Collects membership dues of $30,000 in cash. Members receive a reasonable amount of value in exchange for these dues including a monthly newsletter that describes research activities. By the end of the year, 112/112 of this money had been earned.
5. Receives $10,000 in cash from a donor. The money must be conveyed to a separate charity doing work on a related disease.
6. Receives investment income of $13,000 from the permanently restricted net assets.

Luther's unlevered cost of capital is closest to:_______A) 11.5%B) 10.8%C) 9.8%D) 13.0%

Answers

Answer:

B. 10.8%

Explanation:

To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million

The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million

To get the weight of equity= 450/600

To get the weight of debt = 150/600

we have Ke as cost of equity= 13%

Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%

Then the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)

= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%

This gives us

= 9.75% + 1.05%

Therefore the answer is

= 10.80%

So the option B is correct

Luther's unlevered cost of capital is closest to 10.8%. Therefore, correct response here is option B.

What is the term cost of capital about?

A cost of capital refers to as a return that a company needs to earn in order to achieve the cost of capital of particular project.

Solution:

To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million

The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million

To get the weight of equity= 450/600

To get the weight of debt = 150/600

Ke as cost of equity= 13%

Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%

Then, the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)

Weighted average cost of capital= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%

Weighted average cost of capital= 9.75% + 1.05%

Weighted average cost of capital=10.80%

Answers

Answer:

$180 million

Explanation:

Net income is calculated as;

= (EBIT - Interest expense)(1 - tax)

Given that;

EBIT = $450 million

Interest expense = $175 million

Tax = 35%

Net income = (450 - 175)(1 - 0.35)

Net income = (275)(0.65)

Net income = $178.75

Net income = $180 million approximated.

Rosewood's net income is closest to $180 million.

August 29 Sale 34 units. August 31 Purchase 22 units at $18.00 per unit. What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31?

Answers

Answer:

Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total cost of ending inventory:

Total ending inventory= $426

Now, the weighted average cost per unit of ending inventory:

Ending inventory in units= 24

Weighted-average ending inventory cost= (426/24)

Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75

Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm's direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client's job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients.


Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 90,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $1,080,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $1,098,900 and its actual total direct labor was 93,350 hours.

Answers

Answer:

1. Predetermined overhead rate = $12.50

2. Job Cost = $62,500

Explanation:

Note: The Requirement is attached as picture below

1. Predetermined fixed overhead rate = Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead / Estimated total amount of the allocation base

Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1,080,000 / 90,000

Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $12 per Direct labor hour

The Predetermined variable overhead rate per Direct labor hour is $0.50

Predetermined overhead rate = Fixed overhead rate + Variable overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = $12 + $0.50

Predetermined overhead rate = $12.50

2. The total job cost is given below:

Job Cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Overheads

Job Cost = $38,000 + $21,000 + (280*$12.50)

Job Cost = $38,000 + $21,000 + $3,500

Job Cost = $62,500

The just meaningful difference (JMD) refers to the smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice.

For instance, when the price of a particular product rises from $5.0 to $6.5, consumers wouldn't be motivated to buy such a product again and may choose to go for its close substitutes.

Hence, in marketing it is important to introduce a stimulus plan that will significantly increase consumer consumption and choice in order to increase sales and make profit.

Assume you have a 1-year investment horizon and are trying to choose among three bonds. All have the same degree of default risk and mature in 10 years. The first is a zero-coupon bond that pays $1,000 at maturity. The second has an 6.2% coupon rate and pays the $62 coupon once per year. The third has a 7.2% coupon rate and pays the $72 coupon once per year.

a. If all three bonds are now priced to yield 7% to maturity, what are their prices?
b. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 7% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?

Answers

Answer:

a. If all three bonds are now priced to yield 7% to maturity, what are their prices?

zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35

6.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35

PV of coupon payments = $62 x 7.0236 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $435.46

market price = $943.81

7.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35

PV of coupon payments = $72 x 7.0236 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $505.70

market price = $1,014.05

b. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 7% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?

zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93

before tax holding period return = ($543.93 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 7%

after tax HPR = 7% x 0.8 = 5.6%

6.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93

PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.5152 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $403.94

market price = $947.87

before tax holding period return = ($947.87 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 7%

after tax HPR:

($4.06 x 0.8) / $943.81 = 0.34%

($62 x 0.7) / $943.81 = 4.60%

total = 4.94%

7.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93

PV of coupon payments = $72 x 6.5152 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $469.09

market price = $1,013.02

before tax holding period return = ($1,013.02 - $1,014.05 + $72) / $1,014.05 = 7%

after tax HPR:

(-$1.03 x 0.8) / $1,014.05 = -0.08%

($72 x 0.7) / $1,014.05 = 4.97%

total = 4.89%

c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?

zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90

before tax holding period return = ($591.90 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 16.44%

after tax HPR = 16.44% x 0.8 = 13.15%

6.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90

PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $421.71

market price = $1,013.61

before tax holding period return = ($1,013.61 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 13.96%

after tax HPR:

($69.80 x 0.8) / $943.81 = 5.92%

($62 x 0.7) / $943.81 = 4.60%

total = 10.52%

7.2% coupon bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90

PV of coupon payments = $72 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $489.72

market price = $1,081.62

before tax holding period return = ($1,081.62 - $1,014.05 + $72) / $1,014.05 = 13.76%

after tax HPR:

($67.57 x 0.8) / $1,014.05 = 5.33%
