Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to answer the request. But, I will give an example and formulas to guide an answer.
For example:
Production in units:
May=20,000
June= 22,000
Beginning inventory of direct materials= 8,000
To calculate the purchase for May, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,000*7 + (22,000*7)*0.29 - 8,000
Purchases= 176,660 pounds
When gasoline gallons are priced in terms of number of seashells, seashells serve as: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unit of account
Explanation:
Money serves three functions :
1. Unit of account : money serves the function of determining the value of a good or service. It is usually assumed that goods that are more highly priced are more valuable that goods that have lower prices
2. Medium of exchange : goods and services can be exchanged for money. For example, if I want to buy a gallon of gasoline and pay 4 seashells, money has served as a medium of exchange.
3. store of value: money can be saved, retrieved and exchanged sometimes in the future
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.22 million
Explanation:
The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:
Cost of capital -discount rate -
WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd
After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56
WACC = (0.71×3.56 %) + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %
PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7
PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32
Initial cost = 9.1 million
NPV = 10.32 - 9.1 = 1.22 million
NPV = $1.22 million

a. Securities Investor Protection Act
b.Trust Indenture Act
c. Investment Company Act
d. Investment Advisors Act
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Trust Indenture Act.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Trust Indenture Act of 1939" or TIA refers to the an american law that specifically supplements the Securities Act of 1933 and whose purpose is basically put more safety in the cases where debt securities are distributed in the United States. It does it by requiring the appointment of a suitably and totally independent trustee who is qualified and has the only job to act for the benefit of the holders of those securities, that could be bonds, debentures or others.

E. can be sold quickly at close to full value.
Explanation:
Highly liquid assets are assets that can be sold quickly at close to full value. They are assets that can be easily converted to cash. Cash is the most liquid asset.
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is diminishing also has
Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.
Explanation:
The labor demand curve is plotted with the quantity of labor demanded vs the real wages paid to labor. In a firm that is producing in a market with a diminishing marginal product of labor, the demand curve will be downward sloping to reflect that the more labor that a company has, the less it pays them.
This is because the extra labor is bringing in less additional revenue and so will need to be paid accordingly to reflect that as more labor is hired, the output decreases.
what is the price of a 5 year bond that has a coupon rate of 7% with each coupon paid semi annually. The current market rate is 6%. Assume a par value of 1000
Answer:
The answer is $1,042.65
Explanation:
Coupon payment being done semiannually means it is paid twice in a year
N(Number of periods) = 10 periods ( 5 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 3 percent( 6 percent ÷ 2)
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 10; I/Y = 3; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -1,042.65
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $1,042.65
Tri-Coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$0.56
Explanation:
Tri-coat paints has a current market value of $41 per share
They also have an earning of $3.64
The required return is 9%
= 9/100
= 0.09
Therefore, the present value of its growth opportunities can be calculated as follows
= $41-($3.64/0.09)
= $41-40.44
= $0.56
Hence the present value of its growth opportunities is $0.56
What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?
Answer:
The present value = $3,602.30
Explanation:
To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:
[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]
where:
FV = Future value = $4,500
PV = Present value = ??
r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045
n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2
t = time = 5
[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]
Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30

An American style call option has a strike price of $35
The underlying stock now sells for $43 in the market
The call premium is $12
Therefore, the intrisic value of the call can be calculated as follows
Intrisic value= Market price - strike price
= $43-$35
= $8
Hence the intrinsic value of the call is $8
Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
From the question we have here
If adults would pay 20$
Out of a 100% students:
60% would pay 15
40% would pay 10
If regular price = 20$
We are required to find discount
Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100
Discount = 0.5 x 100
Discount = 50%
The museum should offer 50percent discount.

Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)
Answer:
1. $3,000 Favorable
2. $6,600 Unfavorable.
Explanation:
This is an incomplete question. However, the completed part is question number 2, which has been solved below.
1. Direct material price variance
= (Actual price - Standard price) Actual quantity
= ($2.16 - $2.20) × 75,000
= -$0.04 × 75,000
= $3,000 Favorable
Note: Actual price is gotten by; $162,000 / 75,000
= $2.16
2. Direct material quantity variance
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= (75,000 - $72,000) × $2.20
= 3,000 × $2.20
= $6,600 Unfavorable
Note: Standard quantity is gotten by;
24 × 3,000
= 72,000

A company decides not to pay dividends to stockholders, but the company is requested to pay interest to debt holders. What does this mean about the performance of the company?
Answer: Poor Performance
Explanation:
Options are not available but the foremost reason why a company would decline to pay dividends but still be requested to pay interest to debt holders is that they performed poorly.
Dividends are based on how much net income the company got for the period and so if a company performs poorly, they should not pay out dividends as it will put them in financial difficulty.
Interest payments however have to be paid regardless of if the company made a profit or not. So even if the company performed poorly, they would still be requested to pay interest to debt holders.
The common stock of Flavorful Teas has an expected return of 19.65 percent. The return on the market is 14.5 percent and the risk-free rate of return is 4.2 percent. What is the beta of this stock?
Answer:
beta= 1.5
Explanation:
The common stock of flavorful tea has an expected return of 19.65%
The return on the market is 14.5%
The risk-free rate is 4.2%
Therefore, the beta of the stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
19.65%= 4.2%+beta(14.5%-4.2%)
19.65%= 4.2% + 14.5beta-4.2beta
19.65%= 4.2% + 10.3beta
19.65%-4.2%= 10.3beta
15.45%= 10.3beta
beta= 15.45/10.3
beta= 1.5
Hence the beta of this stock is 1.5
On February 1, 2020, Pat Weaver Inc. (PWI) issued 9%, $1,200,000 bonds for $1,500,000. PWI retired all of these bonds on January 1, 2021, at 105. Unamortized bond premium on that date was $126,000. How much gain or loss should be recognized on this bond retirement
Answer: Gain on bond retirement = $66,000
Explanation:
A gain on retirement of bonds occurs when a bond issuer or a corporation buys back bonds which it previously sold for an amount less than the book value of the particular liability while a loss would be recognized if the bought back bonds are more than the amount of the book value of the liability.
Book value / Carrying value = $1,200,000 + $126,000 =$1,326,000
paid at redemption = $1,200,000 x 105%= $1, 260,000
Gain on bond retirement = Book/ Carrying value -Amount paid at redemption
= $1,326,000 - $1, 260,000 = $66,000
Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
$29.630
Explanation:
For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital
= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million
= $375 million
Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)
= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)
= $375 million ÷ 0.045
= $8,333.33 million
Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt
= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million
= $5,333.33 million
Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares
= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million
= $29.630

You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.

You own a stock portfolio invested 30 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 20 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .95, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.30, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Portfolio beta = 1.1075
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in portfolioPortfolio beta = 0.30 * 0.95 + 0.25 * 1.12 + 0.25 * 1.13 + 0.20 * 1.30
Portfolio beta = 1.1075
Variable versus absorption costing Colorado Business Tools, manufactures calculators. Costs incurred in making 9,500 calculators in February included 29,450 of fixed manufacturing overhead. The total absorption cost per calculator was $10.25.
Required:
a. Calculate the variable cost per calculator.
b. The ending inventory of pocket calculators was 750 units higher at the end of the month than at the beginning of the month. By how much and in what direction (higher or lower) would operating income for the month of February be different under variable costing than under absorption costing?
c. Express the pocket calculator cost in a cost formula.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Difference in profit = $2,325
Cost formula : Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
Explanation:
Variable cost per calculator =Full cost - Fixed cost per unit
Full cost= $10.25
Fixed cost per unit = Total fixed costs / Number of units
= $29,450/9,500 units= 3.1
Variable cost per calculator = $10.25 - 3.1 = 7.15
Difference in profit = OAR (fixed cost per unit)× change in inventory
= 3.1 × 750 = $2,325
The absorption costing profit would be higher if there is an increase in increase at the end of the period and vice versa. Hence , an increase in inventory by 750 units would mean that absorption costing profit is higher by $2,325
Cost of calculator
Y = a +bx
Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
Y- total cost per unit
Fixed cost per unit = 3.1
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Difference in profit = $2,325
Cost formula : Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
If a bank that faces a 10% reserve ratio received a deposit of $50,000 and makes a loan to a customer for $5,000, what is the consequence if the bank then deposits the rest of the funds at the Federal Reserve?
Answer:
Excess reserve increases by $40,000
Required reserve increases by $5,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the reserve, we need to multiply the Deposit received by a required reserve ratio.
DATA
Reserve ratio = 10%
Deposit received = $50,000
Loan to customer = $5,000
Solution
Reserve = Deposit x Required reserve ratio
Reserve = $50,000 x 10%
Reserve = $5,000
After providing a $5,000 loan to the customer and keeping $5,000 as a reserve remaining $40,000 would be deposited in the Federal Reserve.

Ben and Jerry were shareholders of water ice, inc., an s corporation. On january 1, year 1, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares. Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 2011. The corporation reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 2011. How much of the loss is allocated to Joe?
A. $12,500.
B. $10,000.
C. $20,000.
D. $15,068.
Answer:
Option D. $15,068
Explanation:
The share of Ben will 40% of the loss if he does not sells the shares which is:
Ben's Share of Loss = $50,000 * 40% = $20,000
But Ben sold his 40% to Joe on March 31, 2011. This means 90/365 days of the year, Ben owned the shares. Hence:
Ben's share of loss = $20,000 * 90/ 365 = $4,931.5
The remainder is Joe's share of loss which is:
Joe's Share of Loss = $20,000 - $4,931.5 = $15,068
Hence the option D is correct.
