Answer 1

Answer:

 1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.  

Explanation:

Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.

For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.

This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:

($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)

The answer is 0.52667

Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.

Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.

1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover          

2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.

. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.

3.   The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:

A) Days' sales Uncollected and

C) Accounts receivable turnover.

A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by

(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365

It is the number of days before receivables are collected.

The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.

C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

Cheers!

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.66 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
A. 3.96%
B. 6.24%
C. 5.82%
D. 3.66%
E. 3.45%

Answers

Answer:

D. 3.66%

Explanation:

For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $2,120

Future value or Face value = $2,000

PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60

NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 3.66%

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,080,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 17%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:

Sales $3,400,000
Variable expenses 1,450,000
Contribution margin 1,950,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed
out-of-pocket costs $670,000
Depreciation 828,000
Total fixed expenses 1,498,000
Net operating income $452,000

Required:

a. Compute the project's net present value.
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return.
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

Answers

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 +  $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment =  $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

The classic quote from the movie Field of Dreams, "If you build (produce] it

According to the CAPM, what is the market risk premium given an expected return on a security of 15.8%, a stock beta of 1.1, and a risk-free interest rate of 7%? Multiple Choice 7.70% 6.05% 7.00% 8.00%

Answers

Answer:

The risk premium on market is 8%

Explanation:

The CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock which is the minimum return that is expected or required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk as measured by the beta of the stock.

The formula to calculate r under the CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

To calculate the risk premium on market, we will input the available values for r, rRF and beta in the equation above.

0.158 = 0.07 + 1.1 * rpM

0.158 - 0.07 = 1.1 * rpM

0.088 / 1.1 = rpM

rpM = 0.08 or 8%

So, the risk premium on market is 8%

The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $59,000. Compute depreciation expense for both years ending December 2016 and 2017 assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method. (Enter all amounts positive values.)

Answers

Answer:

2016= Annual depreciation= $77,700

2017= Annual depreciation= $75,620

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $318,000.

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $59,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(318,000 - 59,000)/5]= 103,600

2016:

Annual depreciation= (103,600/12)*9= 77,700

2017:

Annual depreciation= [(259,000 - 77,700)/5]*2= 75,620

What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? ((Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answers

Answer:

a) $21.63

b) $4,433,125

Explanation:

plan I, total stocks outstanding = 205,000

plan II, total stocks outstanding = 125,000, and $1,730,000 in debt ($1,730,000 x 8% = $138,400 in interests)

under MM proposition I, a firm's total value is equal whether it uses external financing (debt) or not:

205,000P₀ = 125,000P₀ + $1,730,000

205,000P₀ - 125,000P₀ = $1,730,000

80,000P₀ = $1,730,000

P₀ = $1,730,000 / 80,000 = $21.625 = $21.63

the firm's total value = $21.625 x 205,000 = $4,433,125

In capital rationing, alternative proposals that survive initial screening by cash payback and average rate of return methods are further analyzed using:________

Answers

Answer:

Net present value and internal rate of return

Explanation:

when making a decision between alternative projects, initial analysis is done with the cash payback and average rate of return.

Cash payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows

Average rate of return = Average net income / average book value.

this is followed by the Net present value analysis and Internal rate of return determination.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

project with the highest positive project NPV should be chosen.

Also, a project with an IRR greater than the discount rate should be chosen. when choosing between alternative projects, the project with the highest IRR should be chosen if the IRR is greater than the discount rate.

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.

A firm has a debt-to-equity of 0.69 and a market-to-book ratio of 3.0. What is the ratio of the book value of debt to the market value of equity?

Answers

Answer:

0.23

Explanation:

Debt to Equity  Ratio = Total debt/ Total common equity

Market to book Ratio = Market price per share / Book value per share

Book debt to Market equity Ratio = Debt to Equity  Ratio / Market to book Ratio

Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.69 / 3

Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.23

Therefore, the ratio is 0.23

The Greenbriar is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $584,000 and 22,800 shares of stock outstanding. Management is considering issuing $197,000 of debt at an interest rate of 10 percent and using the proceeds on a stock repurchase. Ignore taxes. How many shares will the firm repurchase if it issues the debt securities

Answers

Answer:

7,691 stocks

Explanation:

total market value = $584,000

total outstanding stocks = 22,800

price per stock = $584,000 / 22,800 = $25.614 per stock

management can repurchase $197,000 / $25.614 per stock = 7,691.1 = 7,691 stocks

stocks outstanding after repurchase = 22,800 - 7,691 = 15,109 stocks

Beyer Company is considering the purchase of an asset for $190,000. It is expected to produce the following net cash flows. The cash flows occur evenly within each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total
Net cash flows $50,000 $31,000 $60,000 $140,000 $30,000 $311,000
Compute the payback period for this investment.

Answers

Answer:

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Explanation:

The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.  

The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.

The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.

This will be done as follows:

The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal

50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000

The balance required to equate 190,000 would be

balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000

Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months

                            = 3 years 4 months

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

For each of the items listed below, state whether they increase or decrease the balance in cumulative translation adjustments (assuming a credit balance at the beginning of the year) when the foreign currency strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar during the year.
Net Income Dividends Declared
A. Decrease Increase
B. Increase Decrease
C. Decrease Decrease
D. Increase Increase

Answers

Answer:

Option B. Increase in Net Income and decrease in Dividends

Explanation:

The weakening position of the US dollar will make US products cheaper in the international market and thus would increase the exports of the product of the company. This will increase the net income of the company. Thus after cumulative translation adjustment what we have is increased net income.

Similarly as dividend declared would be in US dollars, when preparing a translated financial statement, the dividend declared would decrease its value as the foreign currency has strengthening position.

PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST PLEASE AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER (1) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2) "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the tableSamsa was a travelling salesmanand above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. Read the sentence from the passage and answer the question that follows: His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. The purpose of this sentence in the second paragraph is to show that Gregor is not dreaming reveal Gregor as an untidy individual uncover that Gregor has a girlfriend expose Gregor's hatred for his job Based on the hardness values determined in Part 1, what is the tensile strength (in MPa) for each of the alloys?
