Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It maximizes the firm’s stock price.  

Explanation:

The correct answer is “it maximizes the firm’s stock price” because the optimal dividend policy allows the variable risk parameters and it maximizes the firm’s value. Moreover, the dividend policy attracts the shareholders and it maintains the firm’s or the company’s worth in the market. Therefore, the optimal payment of dividend increases or maximizes the stock price.

B. $4,590
C. $8,290
D. $5,290

Answers

Answer:The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: $8,290---C

Explanation:

A bank Reconciliation statement helps to match a company's book record to its bank record and adjust discrepancies, If any.

Here, the deposits in transit and outstanding checks fall under the bank's accounting records and will not be involved in the company's additions or deductions in the accounting book balance records.

Ending cash balance as per books = $7,000

Add:

Interest received from Bank =           +$1,700

Deduct

Bank Service charge =                        -$60

NSF check =                                        -$350

Up-to-date ending cash balance =     $8,290

The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: C. $8,290.

Using this formula

Up-to-date ending cash balance = Ending cash balance per books + Interest received from the bank − Bank service charge − NSF check of T. Owens

Let plug in the formula

Up-to-date ending cash balance = $7,000 + $1,700 − $60 − $350

Unrealized holding gains and losses on debt securities classified as available-for-sale would have the following effects on accumulated other comprehensive income: Gains Losses a. Increase Increase b. Decrease Decrease c. Decrease Increase d. Increase Decrease

Answers

Answer: d. Increase Decrease

Explanation:

Available - For - Sale securities are accounted for in the Equity section of the balance sheet under Other Comprehensive income (OCI). As the gains cannot be realised until the security is sold, it is accounted for here to show an increase or a decrease in value. When the security gains in value over what it cost, this will increase OCI and when it losses value below what it cost, this will reduce the OCI.

At each calendar year-end, Mazie Supply Co. uses the percent of accounts receivable method to estimate bad debts. On December 31, 2017, it has outstanding accounts receivable of $55,000, and it estimates that 2% will be uncollectible. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense for year 2017 under the assumption that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has: (a) a $415 credit balance before the adjustment. (b) a $291 debit balance before the adjustment.

Answers

Answer:

Mazie Supply Co.

Adjusting entries under the assumptions that the allowance for doubtful accounts has:

a) A $415 credit balance before the adjustment:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $685

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $685

To record the bad debts expense for the year.

b) A $291 debit balance before the adjustment:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $1,391

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $1,391

To record bad debts expense and bring the allowance for doubtful accounts to a balance of $1,100.

Explanation:

a) Accounts Receivable outstanding = $55,000

Uncollectible estimate of 2% =     $1,100

b) With a credit balance of $415, the balance will be brought to $1,100 with an adjusting amount of $685 ($1,100 - $415).,

c) With a debit balance of $291, the balance will be brought to $1,100 with an adjusting amount of $1,391 ($1,100 + 291).

d) When the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance, the bad debts expense is calculated as the difference between the new balance and the old credit balance.  But, if the allowance for doubtful accounts has a debit balance, the bad debts expense would be the addition of the estimated allowance and the debit balance.  These actions will respectively bring the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts to the new estimated balance.

Westbrook's Painting Co. plans to issue a $1,000 par value, 20-year noncallable bond with a 7.00% annual coupon, paid semiannually. The company's marginal tax rate is 25%, but Congress is considering a change in the corporate tax rate to 15%. By how much would the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Answers

Answer:

The component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC as follows:

CD = WD * PCD * (1 - t) ........................ (1)

Where;

CD = Component of cost of debt in WACC

WD = Weight of debt

PCD = Pretax cost of debt

t = tax rate

Note: Since information is provided for only the 20-year noncallable bond in the question, we assume that WD is 100% for simplicity purpose.

We can therefore proceed as follows:

a. CD When tax rate is 25%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 25% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 25%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 25% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 25%) = 5.25%

b. CD When tax rate is 15%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 15% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 15%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 15% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 15%) = 5.95%

c. the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Change in WACC = CD when t is 15% - CD when t is 25% = 5.95% - 5.25% = 0.70%

Therefore, the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Working notes :  

1. For North American division

Sales is

= Net operating income ÷ return on sales

= $80,000  ÷ 0.04

= $2,000,000

Operating assets is

= Net Operating income ÷ return on investment

= $80,000 ÷ 16%

= $500,000

Investment turnover is

= Sales ÷ operating assets

= $2,000,000 ÷ $500,000

= 4

For Asian Division

Operating assets is

= Net operating income  ÷  return on investment

= $200,000  ÷ 10%

= $2,000,000

Return on sales is

= Net Operating income ÷ sales

= $200,000 ÷ $5,000,000

= 0.04

Investment turnover is

= Sales ÷ operating assets

= $5,000,000  ÷ $2,000,000

= 2.5

For European division:

Sales is

= Operating assets × investment turnover

= $700,000 × 1.5

how to solve this problem:If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of $1,000 and the lender will make a 30-year loan at 5-1/2%, or a 20-year loan at 4-1/2%, what is the largest loan (rounded to the nearest $100) this buyer can afford?

Answers

Answer:

30-year loan at 5-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $176,100

using a loan amortization table, you will pay $5.6786 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $5.6786 = 176.1 thousands

principal = $176,100

first payment:

interests = $176,100 x 0.055 x 1/12 = $807.13

repaid principal = $192.87

20-year loan at 4-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $158,000

using a loan amortization table, you will pay $6.3291 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $6.3291 = 158 thousands

principal = $158,000

first payment:

interests = $158,000 x 0.045 x 1/12 = $592.50

repaid principal = $407.50

1. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 30-year loan at 5.5% interest, is $176,100.

2. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 20-year loan at 4.5% interest, is $158,100.

Data and Calculations:

a) N (# of periods) 360 months (30 x 12)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PV = $176,121.76

Sum of all periodic payments = $360,000 ($1,000 x 360)

Total Interest = $183,878.24

b) N (# of periods) = 240 months (20 x 12)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PV = $158,065.44

Sum of all periodic payments = $240,000 ($1,000 x 240)

Total Interest = $81,934.56

Thus, to solve this problem, input $1,000 as the periodic payment on a financial calculator and then calculate the present value of $1,000 at the interest rate for the given period.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.9 percent for 36 months to buy the car.

Required:
a. What will your monthly payments be?
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38

b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; = 74,500

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434

Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor

=  74,500/32.434= 22,969.38

Required monthly payments = $22,969.38

Effective annual interest rate

Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100

where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%

n- number of months= 12 months

Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100=  7.12%

Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Answers

Answer:

Sales unit to achieve target profit =6,550 units

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.

The break-even point is calculated as  

Break -even in units = total general fixed cost/(selling price - variable cost)

ley represent tah variable cost per unit with letter "y"

5,000 = 50,000 / (25 - y)

cross multiply

5000× (25 - y) = 50,000

125000  - 5000 y = 50,000

collect like terms

125,000 - 50,000 = 5000 y

75000  = 5,000y

divide both sides by 5,000

y = 75,000/5000 = 15

Variable cost per unit = 15

Sales units to achieve target profit = Fixed cost + target profit/(selling price - variable cost per unit)

Sales unit to achieve target profit

= (50,000 + 15,500)/(25-15)

= 6,550

Sales unit to achieve target profit =6,550 units

Yield to maturity= (C+(F-P/n))/(F+P/2), where:

C= Coupon payment= $1,000*7.60%= $76

F= Face value= $1,000

P= Price= $1,062.50

n= Years to maturity= 16

Yield to maturity=(76+(1,000-1,062.50/16))/(1,000+1,062.50/2)

Yield to maturity=72,09/1,031.25

Yield to maturity=0.069 → 6.9%

Accoriding to this, the yield to maturity is 6.9%.

If the required reserve ratio is 0.15, the maximum increase in checking account deposits that will result from an increase in bank reserves of $5,000 is $________

Answers

it can be any of them but i think simple deposit multiplier = 1/1RR

The formula for the simple deposit multiplier is:

B. Simple Deposit Multiplier = 1 / (1 - RR)

Where RR is the required reserve ratio.

How to explain

In your example, the required reserve ratio is 0.15, which means that banks are required to keep 15% of their deposits in reserve. This means that for every $1 in deposits, banks can lend out $0.85.

The maximum increase in checking account deposits is therefore equal to the simple deposit multiplier times the initial increase in bank reserves. In your example, the initial increase in bank reserves is $5,000. So, the maximum increase in checking account deposits is:

$5,000 * 1.176 = $5,882.35

Therefore, the maximum increase in checking account deposits that will result from an increase in bank reserves of $5,000 is $5,882.35

Option B is correct.

What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC

Answers

Answer:

2.11%

Explanation:

From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the  difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).

From the diagram; we will see that the

YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%

YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%

Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%

the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%
