UML Inc. issued 9% bonds on January 1, 2021. The bonds have a maturity date of December 31, 2024 and a face value of $500,000. UML Inc. issued the bonds for $483,842. For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31, beginning June 30, 2021. What is the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021
Answer:
The outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule used in calculating the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 (in bold red color).
From the attached amortization schedule, we have:
December 31, 2021 Closing book balance = December 31, 2021 Beginning book balance - December 31, 2021 Discount Amortized = $480,542.41
Therefore, the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.
Myriad Solutions, Inc. issued 12% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $350 million on January 1, 2021, for $312,921,210. The bonds mature on December 31, 2030 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield is 14%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. 1. What would be the net amount of the liability Myriad would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021
Answer:
Myriad Solutions, Inc.
The net amount of the liability that Myriad would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 is:
= $314,793,494
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $350 million
Discounted value (Cash receipt) = $312,921,210
Total amount of discount = $37,078,790
Bond's interest rate = 12%
Market yield = 14%
June 30, 2021:
Cash payment for interest = $21 million ($350 m * 6%)
Bonds' Interest expense = $21,904,485 ($312,921,210 * 7%)
Amortization of bond discount = $904,485 ($21,904,485 - $21 million)
Bond book value = $313,825,695 ($312,921,210 + $904,485)
Dec. 31, 2021:
Cash payment for interest = $21 million ($350 m * 6%)
Bonds' Interest expense = $21,967,799 ($313,825,695 * 7%)
Amortization of bond discount = $967,799 ( $21,967,799 - $21 million)
Bond book value = $314,793,494 ($313,825,695 + $967,799)

Laurel Enterprises expects earnings next year of $ per share and has a retention rate, which it plans to keep constant. Its equity cost of capital is , which is also its expected return on new investment. Its earnings are expected to grow forever at a rate of per year. If its next dividend is due in one year, what do you estimate the firm's current stock price to be?
Answer: $49.26
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth model, the price of stock should be:
= Next divided / (Cost of equity - growth rate)
Next dividend = Earnings per share * (1 - Retention rate)
= 4.44 * ( 1 - 40%)
= $2.66
Price of stock:
= 2.66 / (9% - 3.6%)
= $49.26
You have a 25-year maturity, 10% coupon, 10% yield bond with a duration of 10 years and a convexity of 135. If the interest rate were to increase 125 basis points, your predicted price change for the bond (including convexity) is
Answer:
The price change for the bond is -10.31%
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the price change for the bond
Price change of bond = ( -Modified duration x Change in rate ) + ( 0.5 x Convexity x ( Change in rate )^2 )
Where
Modified duration = Duration / ( 1 + YTM ) = 10 years / ( 1 + 10% ) = 9.0909091
Change in rate = 125 basis point / 100 = 1.25%
Convexity = 135
Placing Values in the formula
Price change of bond = ( -9.0909091 x 1.25% ) + ( 0.5 x 135 x ( 1.25% )^2 )
Price change of bond = -0.11364 + 0.01055
Price change of bond = -0.10309
Price change of bond = -0.1031
Price change of bond = -10.31%

WiseGuy Capital mutual fund has $200 million in assets and 10 million shares at the start of the year and with $250 million in assets and 11 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $2 per share and capital gain distributions of $.25 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, does not charge any load, and the total expense ratio is 2%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
The return rate on the fund is "23.75%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
In the starting of the year,
Mutual fund assets,
= $200
Share,
= 10 million
In the end of the year,
Income distribution,
= $2 per share
Capital gain distribution,
= $.25 per share
Total expense ration,
= 2%
Now,
The initial NAV will be:
= [tex]\frac{200mn}{10mn}[/tex]
= [tex]20[/tex]$
The final NAV will be:
= [tex]250-\frac{250\times 0.01}{11}[/tex]
= [tex]22.5[/tex]
hence,
The return will be:
= [tex]\frac{Change \ in \ NAV+Div+Capital \ gain \ distribution}{Initial \ NAV}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{22.5-20+2+0.25}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.75}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]0.2375[/tex]

Required: Calculate Red's debt to assets ratio and its long-term debt to equity ratio. Round your answers to four decimal places, if required. Debt to Total Assets fill in the blank 1 Long-Term Debt to Total Equity fill in the blank 2
Answer:
A. Debt to Total Assets ratio 0.5833 times
B. Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio 0.48 times
Explanation:
A. Calculation for Red's debt to assets ratio using this formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio = Total Liabilities/
Total Assets
Let plug in the formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio=$1,750,000/$3,000,000
Debt to Total Assets ratio=0.5833 times
Therefore the Debt to Total Assets ratio will be 0.5833 times
B. Calculation to determine its long-term debt to equity ratio
First step is to calculate the Shareholders’ Equity using this formula
Shareholders’ Equity = Total Assets – Total outside liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Shareholders’ Equity = $3,000,000-$1,750,000 Shareholders’ Equity =$1,250,000
Now let calculate the Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio using this formula
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio = Long Term Debt/ Total Shareholder’s equity
Let plug in the formula Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio=$600,000/$1,250,000
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio= 0.48 times
Therefore Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio will be 0.48 times

Cincinnati t-shirts prints custom t-shirts. The cost to produce one shirt is: direct materials, $10; direct labor, $1.20; and manufacturing overhead $4.50. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital asked Cincinnati t-shirt to sell them custom t-shirts for $12 each for a local charity event. Direct material and direct labor are required for each t-shirt. Of the manufacturing overhead, $1.50 is variable and would be incurred on each additional unit. The remaining $3 in overhead is allocated fixed overhead that would not be increased or decreased by this order. What would be the effect on net income if they accept this special order and sell 200 shirts to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for $12 each?
Answer:
Effect on income= $140 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Production costs:
Direct material= 10
Direct labor= 1.2
Variable overhead= $1.5
Selling price= $12
Number of units= 200
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= Units sold*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 200*(12 - 10 - 1.2 - 1.5)
Effect on income= $140 decrease

= ($396,000 + $22,738)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds issued = $7,200,0
Cash received = $6,836,187
Total bonds discount = $363,813 ($7,200,000 - $6,836,187)
Period of bonds = 8 years
Interest rate of bonds = 11%
Effective interest rate = 12%
Semi-annual cash payment = $396,000 ($7,200,000 * 11% * 6/12)
First interest expense on December 31 Year 1 = $410,171 ($6,836,187 * 12% * 6/12)
Amortization of bond discount for the first six months = $14,171 ($410,171 - $396,000)

Suppose 5 years have gone by and the company has to make a decision on how to move forward. It can either pay out all earnings as dividends without considering any growth opportunities or choose a growth strategy where the company will expand into new lines of business in global markets. If the management chooses this strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced down to 20% from 35%, and the company will be able to maintain a growth rate of 7% forever. Which strategy should the management choose to maximize shareholder value
Answer:
The management should choose the growth strategy. It is always more rewarding and maximizes the shareholder value better than embarking on a payout strategy.
Explanation:
Choosing a payout strategy, which does not ensure growth, is not sustainable and does not maximize shareholder value. Business expansion through market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification ensures business growth and maximizes shareholder wealth, enabling the company to pay out more in dividends stretched over longer streams.

Softwind Manufacturing anticipates annual sales of 40,000 units and has the following information regarding one of its products: Annual unit sales 40,000 Fixed manufacturing costs $ 22 Variable manufacturing costs 44 Variable selling and administrative costs 16 Fixed selling and administrative costs 8 Desired profit per unit 18 If Softwind uses cost-plus pricing based on absorption manufacturing cost, what is the sales price Softwind will charge for this product
Answer:
Selling price= $84
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary cost= varaible manufacturing cost + fixed manufacturing cost
Unitary cost= 44 + 22= $66
Selling price= 66 + 18
Selling price= $84

The loan will have a 25 year term, be fully amortizing, and have fixed interest rate of 6.24% per annum. What is your monthly payment on the loan?
a. $54,731.69
b. $59,314.62
c. $65,731.09
d. $98,857.71
Answer:
Monthly payment= $59,314.62
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Loan= $9,000,000
Number of periods (n)= 25*12= 300 months
Interest rate= 0.0624/12= 0.0052
To calculate the monthly payment, we need to use the following formula:
Monthly payment= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly payment= (9,000,000*0.0052) / [1 - (1.0052^-300)]
Monthly payment= $59,314.62
1. A deposit of $100,000 is made to an investment account today. At the end of each of the next four years, $5000 must be paid out to a beneficiary, and the account liquidated at the end of year four. If the liquidation value is $100,000 the account has earned an annual internal rate of return of
Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Use an Excel worksheet to determine the internal rate of return:
Investment or Cost = $100,000. This will be negative in the computation.
Cashflow = $5,000 per year
Fourth year cashflow = 5,000 + liquidation value = $105,000
IRR = 5%
The internal rate of return : (mark all that applies) does not need a required rate to calculate. rule states that a typical investment project with an IRR that is less than the required rate of return should be accepted. is the more sound decision rule when dealing with mutually exclusive projects is the rate that causes the net present value of a project to exactly equal zero. can effectively be used to analyze all investment scenarios.
Answer:
does not need a required rate to calculate
is the rate at which npv is zero
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is an example of capital budgeting method
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
Projects with the IRR greater than the discount rate should be accepted. It means that it is profitable.
Projects with more than one negative cash flow are unsuitable for calculating with IRR. This is because it can lead to multiple IRR, Thus, it not suitable for analysing all investment scenarios.
The net present value is the most preferred capital budgeting method
Other capital budgeting methods includes
1. profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
2. Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
3. Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
4. Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Heidi is having trouble understanding the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and why her workplace sent out an email affirming the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This is probably because as a white woman from a small town with little exposure to diversity efforts, Heidi has not had much education about what BLM is trying to accomplish. She is wrestling with this new information about systemic racism and ultimately dismisses it as unfounded because it is contrary to her past experiences. This is an illustration of which of the following?
a. Stereotyping
b. An entrenched mental model
c. Leader-Member Exchange Theory
d. Ethnocentrism
e. Social Identity Theory
Answer:
e. Social Identity Theory
Explanation:
It is correct to state that the scenario in the question above refers to the theory of social identity, which is a theory that seeks to explain how the categorization of groups such as those based on culture, social class, race, age, directly impact the life of an individual and their perception of the world. Psychology seeks to analyze how important it is for an individual to belong to a group and to form an identity based on the collective of that group, that is, to form a society.
Therefore, the theory of social identity suggests that there is an inclination for individuals to overestimate the characteristics of the group to which they belong and to minimize the characteristics of other groups, which can generate prejudice, racism and apathy, which is what happened with Heidi, who considered information about systemic racism unfounded by the fact that they are contrary to their previous experiences.
Stanley-Morgan Industries adopted a defined benefit pension plan on April 12, 2021. The provisions of the plan were not made retroactive to prior years. A local bank, engaged as trustee for the plan assets, expects plan assets to earn a 10% rate of return. The actual return was also 10% in 2021 and 2022\.\* A consulting firm, engaged as actuary, recommends 6% as the appropriate discount rate. The service cost is $250,000 for 2021 and $380,000 for 2022. Year-end funding is $260,000 for 2021 and $270,000 for 2022. No assumptions or estimates were revised during 2021. * We assume the estimated return was based on the actual return on similar investments at the inception of the plan and that, since the estimate didn't change, that also was the actual rate in 2022.

Langley Clinics, Inc., buys $400,000 in medical supplies each year (at gross prices) from its major supplier, Consolidated Supplies, which offers Langley terms of 2.5/10, net 45. Currently, Langley is paying the supplier the full amount due on day 45, but it is considering taking the discount, paying on day 10, and replacing the costly trade credit with a bank loan that has a 10 percent annual cost.
Required:
a. What is the amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services?(assume 360 days per year throughout this problem)
b. What is the amount of costly trade credit?
c. What is the approximate annual cost of the costly trade credit?
d. Should Langley replace its trade credit with the bank loan? explain your answer.
e. If the bank loan is used, how much of the trade credit should be replaced?
Answer:
Explanation:
a. What is the amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services?
Since there's a 2.5% discount, amount paid will be:
= $400000 - (2.5% × $400000)
= $400000 - $10000
= $390000
The amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services since payment was made within 10 days will be:
= ($390000/360) × 10
= $1083 × 10
= $10833
b. What is the amount of costly trade credit?
Assuming Langley pays by day 45, the increase in its accounts payable will be:
= 45 x $1,083
= $48,735
Therefore, the amount of costly trade credit will be:
= Total trade credit – Free trade credit = $48,735 – $10,833
= $37,902
c. What is the approximate annual cost of the costly trade credit?
The percentage cost will be:
= 10000 / 37902
= 26.38%
d. Should Langley replace its trade credit with the bank loan?
Langley should replace the trade credit with a bank loan if it can get a bank loan that's can less than 26.38%, then the trade credit of $37902 should be replaced.
e. If the bank loan is used, how much of the trade credit should be replaced?
Only the trade credit of $37902 should be replaced.
Chris invests a total of $19,000 in two accounts. The first account earned a rate of return of 13% (after a year). However, the second account suffered a 2% loss in the same time period. At the end of one year, the total amount of money gained was $1,495.00. How much was invested into each account
Answer:
Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500
Explanation:
To calculate the amount invested in each account, we must first calculate the total return earned by Chris as a percentage of his investment.
Total Return/gain = 1495 / 19000 = 0.078684 or 7.8684%
To calculate the overall return, we must use the weighted average of returns provided by each account. The weighted average can be calculated as follows,
Average Overall Return = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of investment in each account as a percentage of overall investmentr represents the return provided by each accountLet weight of investment in account that provided 13% return be x
Let weight of investment in account that provided -2% return be (1 - x)
0.078684 = x * 0.13 + (1-x) * -0.02
0.078684 = 0.13x - 0.02 + 0.02x
0.078684 + 0.02 = 0.15x
x = 0.098684 / 0.15
x = 0.65789333333 or 65.789333333%
Amount invested in account with 13% return = 19000 * 65.789333333%
Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 19000 * (1 - 65.789333333%)
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500
