Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Price 1 year later = $810

b. Annual rate of return on the bond = -24.53%

c. Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.

d. Annual real rate of return on the bond = -26.73%

Explanation:

a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Price 1 year later = Coupon rate * Par value / Yield to maturity * (1 - 1 / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity) + Par value / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity = 7.3% * 1000 / 10.7% * (1 - 1 / (100% + 10.7%)^9) + 1000 / (100% + 10.7%)^9 = $810

b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (810 + 7.3% * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.53%

c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answer Slightly less than your part b answer

This can be determined as follows:

Price 1 year later = (Coupon rate / 2) * Par value / (Yield to maturity / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2)) + Par value / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2) = (7.3% / 2) * 1000 / (10.7% / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2)) + 1000 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2) = $807

Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (807 + (7.3% / 2) * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.79%

Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.

d. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Annual real rate of return on the bond = (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)-1 = (1 - 24.53%) / (1 +3 %) - 1 = -26.73%

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?

a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct

Answers

Answer:

Logan Horse Ranch

The most accurate is:

e. None of the above are correct

Explanation:

Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible.  Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour.  With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct.  This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

What is the present value of a 10-year annuity of $3,000 per period in which payments come at the beginning of each period

Answers

Answer: $18984.9

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the interest rate. Let's assume that the interest rate is 12%.

Therefore, the present value will be:

= 3000 + 3000[1 - (1 + 0.12)^-10+1] / 0.12

= 3000 + (3000 × 5.3283)

= 3000 + 15984.9

= 18984.9

Therefore, the present value is $18984.9

Rosalia White will invest $3,000 in an IRA for the next 30 years starting at the end of this year. The investment will earn 13 percent annually. How much will she have at the end of 30 years

Answers

Answer:

$879,597.65  

Explanation:

The future value of an ordinary annuity formula is applicable in this case, since an ordinary annuity is such that payments into the accounts are expected to occur at the end of the periods rather than at the beginning of each year:

FV=yearly payment*(1+r)^n-1/r

yearly payment=$3,000

r=13%

n=number of annual payments =30

FV=$3000*(1+13%)^30-1/13%

FV=$3000*(1.13)^30-1/0.13

FV=$3000*(39.11589796-1)/0.13

FV=$3000*38.11589796/0.13

FV=$879,597.65

Juanita worked hard all year so that she could go to nursing school the following year. She put her savings into a mutual fund that paid a nominal interest rate of 4 percent a year. The CPI was 252 at the beginning of the year and 257 at the end of the year. What was the real interest rate that Juanita earned?

Answers

Answer:

1.98%

Explanation:

Inflation rate = (CPI at the end of the year / CPI at the beginning of the year) - 1

(257 / 252) - 1 = 0.01984 = 1.984%

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + inflation rate) (1 + real interest rate)

1.04 = 1.01984 x  (1 + real interest rate)

(1 + real interest rate)  = (1.04 / 1.01984) - 1 = 1.98%

a. 6.00 years.
b. 1.99 year.
c. 6.05 years.
d. 12.10 years.
e. 3.01 years.

Answers

Answer:

e. 3.01 years

Explanation:

Cost of Asset = $57,000  

Net annual cash Inflow = Net Income after Tax + Depreciation

Net annual cash Inflow = $9,425 + $9,500

Net annual cash Inflow = $18,925

Payback Period = Cost of Asset (Investment) / Net annual cash Inflow

Payback Period = $57,000 / $18,925

Payback Period = 3.01188904

Payback Period = 3.01 years

A company started the year with $1,500 of supplies on hand. During the year the company purchased additional supplies of $800 and recorded them as increase to the supplies asset. At the end of the year the company determined that only $300 of supplies are still on hand. What is the adjusting journal entry to be made at the end of the period

Answers

Answer:

Debit : Supplies Expense $2,000

Credit : Supplies  $2,000

Explanation:

The adjusting journal entry to be made at the end of the period should reflect the usage of supplies.

Supplies used = Opening Balance + Purchases - Inventory Balance

therefore,

Supplies used = $1,500 + $800 - $300

                        = $2,000

A Debit to Expense Account - Supplies Expense and A  Credit to Asset Account - Supplies must be made to depict the usage of supplies.

Project Management Practice ProblemBragg’s Bakery is building a new automated bakery downtown Sandusky. Here are the activities that need to be completed to get the new bakery built and the equipment installed.
ACTIVITYPREDECESSORNORMAL TIME (WEEK)CRASH TIME (WEEK)EXPEDITING COST/WEEKA-963000BA853500CA15104000DB,C532000EC1062500FD,E215000
Hint: I have directly provided the crashing cost per unit time.
a. What is the normal project length?
b. What is the critical path in this project?
c. Which activity will you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week?
d. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
e. What is the slack for activity D?

Answers

Answer:

a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.

b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.

c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.

d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.

e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.

Explanation:

a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.

b) The criteria for critical activity:

[tex]LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\[/tex]

[tex]ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} =[/tex] duration of the activity

where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,

The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.

activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F

therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.

c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.

d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities

= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]

= 23 weeks.

e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29

= 5 weeks

GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.

Answers

Answer:

a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.

Explanation:

going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct

The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.

The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).

The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).

Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period

Answers

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.

answer :

3.02 million,    2.96 million,    2.91 million

Explanation:

Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period

swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount

For year 1

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2

= 3.02 million

For year 2

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million

= 2.96378 million

For year 3

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million

= 2.90733 million  

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on

Answers

Answer: Opposing side

Explanation:

Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.

Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83

Answers

Answer:

$1,394,509.68

Explanation:

Savings amount = $5200

Period = 36 years

Interest = 9.54 percent

We solve for the future value of the annuity

= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x 268.1749

= 1,394,509.681 dollars

Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Future pension liabilities are estimated based on all of the following except a.expected employee compensation levels. b.federal withholding income tax. c.employee life expectancy. d.employee turnover.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The correct option is B. - federal withholding income tax.

Pension liability is the amount of money that a company or government at any level(federal or state) has to account for in order to make future pension payments. It is a future payment that a company or government is obligated to pay its retired employees.

They take into considerations:

1. Their employees turnover

2. Their employees life expectancy

3. Their employees compensation level.

Federal tax level is not the issue because the payment is futuristic and federal tax can change.

Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.

Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%

Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point.

Explanation:

Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.

[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]

Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.

Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $30,800 has an estimated residual value of $2,800 and an estimated useful life of four years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3

Answers

Answer:

$28000

25%

$7000

Explanation:

Depreciable cost = cost of the asset - residual value

$30,800 - $2800 = $28,000

The straight-line rate = annual depreciation expense / Depreciable cost

7000 / 28,000 x 100 = 25%

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

$28,000 / 4 = $7000

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.

f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.

g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.

Zebra Company sells a segment of its operations at a loss. Zebra has not previously experienced such an event and does not expect to again. The loss from the disposal of the segment should be reported in the income statement as: Select one: A. A separate amount in comprehensive income B. A separate amount in net income from continuing operations C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section D. As part of cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section

Explanation:

Since in the given situation it is mentioned that zebra co sells the segment at a loss so this loss from the sale of the segment that should be reported in the income statement as the distinct amount in the discontinued operating section as the same below the income from continuing operations

Hence, the correct option is c.

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

The discontinued operations are parts of a company's core business or product line that have been sold or shut down and thus are reported separately on the financial statements from ongoing operations. As a result, any loss from the sale of the segment should indeed be reported as a separate amount inside the income statement's discontinued operations column.

XYZ shop has a favorite model that has annual sales of 145. The cost to place an order to replenish inventory is $25 per order, and annual inventory holding cost per unit is $20. Assume the store is open 350 days per year. a. What is the optimal order size

Answers

Answer:

EOQ= 19 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Demand= 145 units

Order cost= $25 per order

Holding cost= $20.

To calculate the optimal order quantity, we need to use the economic order quantity method:

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]

D= Demand in units

S= Order cost

H= Holding cost

EOQ= √[(2*145*25) / 20]

EOQ= √362.5

EOQ= 19 units
