Answer:
10.83 %
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock
therefore,
Weighted average cost of capital = 12.70 % x 70.82 % + 4.956 % x 17.73 % + 8.40 % x 11.45 %
= 10.83 %

A company is trying to estimate the cost of debt for a new project. For their estimate, they will find the yield to maturity on existing company bonds. They have one outstanding bond issue at the moment that will mature in 15.00 years. The bond pays an annual coupon of 9.00%, with a face value of $1,000. The bond currently trades at 92.00% of face value. What is the yield to maturity on the existing debt
Answer:
Yield to maturity =9.9%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the return on debt expressed in percentage. It can be used to worked as follows using the formula below
YTM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 9%× 1000 =90 , P- 92×1000= 920, F- 1000
AYM = 90 + (1000-920)/15 ÷ 1/2× (1000+920)
= 95.33 ÷ 960
Yield to maturity =9.9%
Citibank need to borrow $1 million for 6 months starting in 2 years. Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,
= 0.01
No. of borrowing months,
= 6
National amount,
= 1000000
Now,
The net payment will be:
= [tex]National \ principal*(Floating \ rate - Fixed \ rate)\times \frac{No. \ of \ months}{12}[/tex]
On substituting the above values, we get
= [tex]1000000\times (0.01-0.4)\times \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]1000000\times (-0.03)\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]-15,000[/tex] ($)
An airline knows that there are two types of travelers: business travelers and vacationers. For a particular flight, there are 100 business travelers who will pay $600 for a ticket while there are 50 vacationers who will pay $300 for a ticket. There are 150 seats available on the plane. Suppose the cost to the airline of providing the flight is $20,000, which includes the cost of the pilots, flight attendants, fuel, etc.
Required:
a. How much profit will the airline earn if it sets the price of each ticket at $600?
b. How much additional profit can the airline earn by charging each customer their willingness to pay relative to charging a flat price of $600 per ticket?
Answer: it would be 100 business travlers who will pay 600$ for a ticket
Explanation: well if you do the math 600×100=60,00 and that would pay for the airline expenses and extra the other option wouldnt be enough because it would only add up to 15,000 300×50=15,00 so it would be enough
Rabbit Foot Motors has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 5,000 units of its hands-free, Wi-Fi-enabled automotive model—the SMAK—at a price of $18,000 per automobile. Rabbit Foot’s other sales would not be affected by this new customer offer. Rabbit Foot normally produces 100,000 units of its SMAK model per year but only plans to produce and sell 90,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $35,000 per SMAK. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted.
1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
a. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
b. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead
c. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
d. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
a. increase by $_______
b. decrease by $_________
Answer: 1. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. Increases by $10,000,000
Explanation:
1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)
These include special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
This will be:
= Units × (special order price-variable costs)
= 5000 × ($18000 - $10000 - $2000 - $4000)
= 5000 × $2000
=$10,000,000
Therefore, it increases by $10,000,000
Which of the following is not true of the 3 level variance analysis of operating income?
a. Level 2 shows the direct material price and efficiency variances
b. Level 2 shows the sales-volume variance for operating income
c. Level 3 shows the fixed overhead production volume variance as a component of the sales-volume variance for operating income
d. Level 1 shows the static budget variance for operating income
Answer:
The option that is not true of the 3 level variance analysis of operating income is:
a. Level 2 shows the direct material price and efficiency variances
Explanation:
The operating income can be analyzed in three levels. The first level is the static budget versus actual results variance, which shows the difference between the planning budget and the actual results. The second level is the sale-volume variance, while the third level shows the fixed overhead variance. This can be collapsed into level 2, with the final level showing more details about direct material price and efficiency variances, etc.
Market Structure and Market Power
The marginal revenue curve of a firm with market power will always lie below its demand curve because of:_____.
a. the discount effect and the substitution effect.
b. the substitution effect and the income effect.
c. the output effect and the discount effect.
d. the output effect and the substitution effect.
Answer: c. the output effect and the discount effect.
Explanation:
The output effect is how firms with market power control their production in honest to make profit.
A firm with market farm will have to reduce it's marginal revenue curve to increase sales.
The marginal revenue will therefore be below the Demand curve to show that the marginal revenue has to be reduced for a team to sell more goods.

Suppose we want to estimate the effects of alcohol consumption (alcohol) on college grade point average (cGPA). In addition to collecting information on grade point averages and alcohol usage, we also obtain attendance information (say, percentage of lectures attended, called attend). A standardized test score (say, SAT) and high school GPA (hsGPA) are also available
(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)
(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)
No. We should not include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model. This is due to the fact that a high degree of negative correlation exists between attend along with alcohol and including both of them will bring about multi collinearity.
(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.
Yes. SAT and hsGPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is important to overcome bias of the model.
(i) So according to me, my answer will be No. We should not include Attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in multiple factors of the regression model. This is due to the fact that is a high degree of negative correlation exists between the attend also, along with alcohol, and including both of them will bring about multicollinearity.
(ii) When the variables of SAT AND hsGPA my answer will be Yes. SAT and HSDPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is most important to overcome the bias of the model.

PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer:
PBYI is not over priced
expected profit = $0.18
Explanation:
BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00
expected alpha = 2%
In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00
when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2
when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18
therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18
PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day
The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?
a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.
d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.
Answer:
the correct answer is B)
Explanation:
Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.
Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

At December 31, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $288,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,500 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 1% of accounts receivable. The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be:
Answer:
$1,380
Explanation:
Given that;
Accounts receivables = $288,000
Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $1,500 (credit balance)
Allowance should be 1% of accounts receivables = $288,000 × 1% = 2,880
Then, the adjustment = $2,880 - $1,500 = $1,380
Therefore, the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be $1,380

Nuclear power releases no greenhouse gases.
Nuclear power releases more greenhouse gases than other forms of power.
Answer:
A.Nuclear power releases less greenhouse gases than other forms of power.
Explanation:
correct on edge
Nuclear power releases fewer greenhouse gases than other forms of power is supported by the information in the graph. Thus, option A is correct.
What is electricity production?The oxidation-reduction reactions in MFCs produce electrical energy as the consequence of the release, movement, and reception of electrons from biological processes. comparable emissions across the entire energy chain
The cheapest and greatest values are shown in a graph with bars of the C O 2 comparable emissions for the entire energy chain in grams per kilowatt hour.
That's because nuclear reactors harness fission, an anatomical procedure that separates uranium atoms and produces heat, to make tremendous quantities of energy. Compared to other kinds of energy, nuclear power emits fewer greenhouse emissions.

Explanation:
Cost-volume-profit analysis is also known as the break even analysis, it is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.
Marginal revenue can be defined as the additional amount of money that is gained or generated by a business firm from the sales of an additional unit of a product or service.
Marginal revenue, graphically is the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point.
This ultimately implies that, the change in the value of the total revenue curve at a given point gives the marginal revenue.
Bramble Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $325,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $212,000; and fixed costs $70,400. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume. Net income $ 2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales. Net income $ 3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000. Net income $ Which course of action will produce the highe
Answer
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or variable cost
Net income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost -
10% increase in selling price = $325,000 × 10% = $357,500
Net profit = $357,500 - $212,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $75,100
2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales
Variable costs = $325,000 × 60% = $195,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $195,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $59,600
3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $212,000 - $18,000
Net profit = $95,000
You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 38% of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 72% probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?
Answer:
The probability of you making it home for the holidays is:
= 45%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Probability of Scareways flights being canceled = 38%
Probability of successfully traveling with Scareways = 62% (100 - 38%)
Probability of getting a seat in Walter's car = 72%
Therefore, the probability of making it home for the holidays = the combined probabilities (either Scareways flight or Walter's car)
= 62% * 72%
= 0.62 * 0.72
= 0.4464
= 45%
Medical clinic office: Medical case files of deceased patients. Which transfer method? explain your decision?
Answer: Perpetual
Explanation:
It is best to use the perpetual transfer method because the medical case files on deceased patient should be transferred immediately seeing as the patient is no longer alive.
Using a periodic transfer method would mean that files are only transferred at certain times even though the patient may have been deceased for some time.
On October 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $148,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The equipment is expected to produce 260,000 units during its life.Required:Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.
Answer:
Missing word: "1. Straight line. 2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"
1. Straight line depreciation
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)
Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $14,300
Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12
Depreciation Expenses = $3575
2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12
Depreciation Expenses = $14,300
2. Double-declining balance
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expense = $148000 * 20% 3/12
Depreciation Expense = $7400
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $148000 - $7400
Book Value = $140,600
2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12
Depreciation Expense = $35,520
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520
Book Value = $105,080
Lifecycle Motorcycle Company is expected to pay a dividend in year 1 of $2, a dividend in year 2 of $3, and a dividend in year 3 of $4. After year 3, dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 7% per year. An appropriate required return for the stock is 12% (for both stages). Using the multistage DDM, the stock should be worth __________ today. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$67.95
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much should the stock should be worth today.
First step is to calculate the dividend per year;
D4= D3(1+g) = 4(1.07) = $4.28
Second step is to calculate the PV of each dividend
PV (D1) =2 / (1.12)
PV (D1) = 1.7857
PV (D2) = 3/ (1.12²)
PV (D2) = 2.3916
PV (D3) = 4/ (1.12³)
PV (D3) = 2.8471
Fourth Step is to calculate the Value of Perp. at t=3
=[(4(1.07))/(.12-.07)]/1.12^3
=85.6/1.4049
=60.9296
Now let calculate how much should the stock should be worth today
Worth today = 1.7857+ 2.3916 + 2.8471 + 60.9296
Worth today=$67.95
Therefore Using the multistage DDM, the stock should be worth $67.95 today
You wish to take an Excel course. You may enroll at one within your school or you may take a community class at the local library. You've gathered the following information to aid in your decision-making process.
Costs/Benefits College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Distance to course 0.40 miles (walking distance) 16 miles (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
Qualitative considerations Convenience, quality of instruction Flexibility, brief duration
If you enroll in the community class, you will be unable to work at your regular job on weekends for the eight weekend days when the class meets. If you typically earn $260 per weekend shift, which option would you choose (considering enrollment cost and opportunity cost)?
a) Neither alternative
b) College course
c) Community course
d) Both alternatives
Answer:
The chosen option (considering enrollment costs and opportunity cost) is:
b) College course.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Costs/Benefits
College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Opportunity costs -2,080 2,080
Net costs $520 $3,470
Distance to course 0.40 miles 16 miles
(walking distance) (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost. With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred. These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.

In addition, you have determined the following information with respect to allocated fixed costs:
1 Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
2 Fixed costs:
3 Cost of goods sold $128,500.00 $90,300.00 $120,500.00
4 Selling and administrative expenses
95,900.00 82,400.00 143,500.00
These fixed costs are used to support all three product lines and will not change with the elimination of any one product. In addition, you have determined that the effects of inventory may be ignored.
The management of the company has deemed the profit performance of the running shoe line as unacceptable. As a result, it has decided to eliminate the running shoe line. Management does not expect to be able to increase sales in the other two lines. However, as a result of eliminating the running shoe line, management expects the profits of the company to increase by $143,500.
Required:
a. Do you agree with management’s decision and conclusions? Explain your answer. (Note: You may wish to complete part (b), the variable costing income statement, first.)
b. Prepare a variable costing income statement for the three products. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. Be sure to complete the statement heading. A colon (:) will automatically appear if it is required. If a net loss is incurred, enter that amount as a negative number using a minus sign. Enter all other amounts as positive numbers.
c. Use the report in (b) to determine the profit impact of eliminating the running shoe line, assuming no other changes. Use the minus sign to indicate a decline in profit.
Answer:
Winslow Inc.
a. No. I do not agree with management's decision and conclusions. Eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.
