Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is a possible match of the complete question:
a company purchased property for a building site. the costs associated with the property were:
purchase price $175,00
real estate commisions $15,000
legal fees 800
expenses of clearing the land 2,000
expenses to remove old building 1,000
what portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?
Answer:
cost allocated to land = $193,800
cost allocated to new building = $0
Explanation:
The expenses associated with the ost of land purchase are all the necessary expenses made in the purchase of the land and in getting the land ready for use. These include legal fees, cost of clearing the land, cost of removing old structures etc. Therefore cost allocated to land is calculated as follows:
cost of land = purchase price + real estate commissions + legal fees + expenses of clearing the land + expenses to remove old building.
cost of land = 175,000 + 15,000 + 800 + 2,000 + 1,000 = $193,800
∴ cost of land = $193,800
cost of new building = $0
There is no transaction associated directly with setting up the new building, all the costs were associated with the acquisition of the land, hence the cost os the new building is $0
Steady Company's stock has a beta of . If the risk-free rate is and the market risk premium is , what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
The question is incomplete as it misses the figures. The following is the complete question.
Steady Company's stock has a beta of 0.21. If the risk-free rate is 6.2% and the market risk premium is 6.9%, what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
Answer:
The cost of equity is 0.07649 or 7.649%
Explanation:
The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069
r = 0.07649 or 7.649%
Norris Co. has developed an improved version of its most popular product. To get this improvement to the market, will cost $48 million and will return an additional $13.5 million for 5 years in net cash flows. The firm's debt-equity ratio is .25, the cost of equity is 13 percent, the pretax cost of debt is 9 percent, and the tax rate is 30 percent. What is the net present value of this proposed project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.49 million
Explanation:
The NPV is the difference between the 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
But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:
Step 1: After-tax cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)
= 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%
Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325 %
Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)
PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49 million
Initial cost = $48 million
NPV = 49.49 million - $48 million =$1.49 million
NPV = $1.49 million
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 5.70 percent
Answer:
Current market value =$40.6
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4
Year Present Value
1 2 × (1.2) ×(1.057)^(-1) = 2.27
2 2 × (1.2)^2×(1.057)^(-2)= 2.58
3 2 × (1.2)^3×(1.057)^(-3) = 2.93
4 2 × (1.2)^4×(1.057)^(-4) = 3.32
Total PV = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4 = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond
This will be done in two steps:
Step 1: PV (in year 4 terms) of dividends
( 2 × (1.2)^4× (1-0.05) )/(0.057--(0.05)) = 36.82
Step 2 : PV( in year 0 terms) of dividends
=PV in (year 4 terms)× (1+r)^-4
=36.82 × 1.057^(-4) = 29.50
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond =29.50
Current market value = Total PV of dividend = 11.10 + 29.50 = $40.6
Current market value =$40.6

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study
Answer:
Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.
Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.
Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

Sell Inc.'s stock has a 25 percent chance of producing a 30% return, a 50 percent chance of producing a12% return, and a 25 percent chance of producing a 5% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return?
Answer:
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.
The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,
r = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN
Where,
pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or return occuringrA, rB and so on are the return in different eventsr = 0.25 * 0.3 + 0.5 * 0.12 + 0.25 * 0.05
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
You purchased a stock at a price of $48.98. The stock paid a dividend of $1.63 per share and the stock price at the end of the year was $54.12. What was the total return for the year? Multiple Choice 13.82% 10.49% 13.17% 12.51% 3.33%
Answer:
13.82%
Explanation:
The computation of total return for the year is shown below:-
Total return = (End value - Beginning value + Dividend) ÷ Beginning value
= ($54.12 - $48.98 + $1.63) ÷ $48.98
= 6.77 ÷ $48.98
= 0.13821
or
= 13.82%
Therefore for computing the total return we simply applied the above formula by considering all the information given in the question
An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Question options :
A. increases; falls
B. decreases; falls
C. does not change; does not change
D. increases; rises
Answer:
B. decreases; falls
Explanation:
let us understand this by looking at the logic behind it. First when the economy is at full employment, there is high demand since there will be increase in money supply through increased circulation from salaries and wages. If government increases taxes, this will reduce purchasing power as money supply will be reduced and therefore demand will be reduced. Also price will fall since according to the Law of demand and supply, if demand is more than supply, price will increase
Unable to borrow from other banks, University Bank is forced to turn to the Federal Reserve for needed funds. The interest rate that the Federal Reserve will charge University Bank is called the
Answer:
Discount rate

The discount rate is the rate of interest i.e. charged by the Fed for extending the loan to the commercial bank
In order to apply the expansionary monetary policy, Fed redcued the discount rate and apply the contractionary monetary policy so that the Fed could raise the interest rate
Therefore in the given case, the charge we called as a discount rate
What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average
Answer:
The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.
This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.
Explanation:
Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital. If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa. In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.
All of the following statements regarding convertible bonds are true except:_________.
A. Holders of convertible bonds can generally decide whether to convert to stock.
B. Holders of convertible bonds have the potential to profit from increases in stock price.
C. Holders of convertible bonds can choose when to convert to stock.
D. Holders of convertible bonds have the option to not convert and continue receiving bond interest payments and par value at maturity.
E. Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion.
Answer: Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.
The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.
The firm is an all-equity firm with assets worth $350 million and 100 million shares outstanding. It plans to borrow $100 million and use these funds to repurchase shares. The firm’s marginal corporate tax is 21%, and it plans to keep its outstanding debt equal to $100 million permanently. If the firm manages to repurchase shares at $4 per share, what is the per share value of equity for the leveraged firm? A) $2.71 per share B) $3.5 per share C) $3.61 per share D) $3.71 per share E) $4 per share
Answer:
B) $3.5 per share
Explanation:
Assets = Existing assets + Tax shield
= $350 million + 21% * $100 million
= $371 million
Equity = Asset - Debt
= $371 million - $100 million
= $271 million
The Shares are repurchase at $4
At this price, the firm would have 100 - 100/4 = 75 million shares outstanding .
Worth of shares outstanding = Equity / Outstanding shares
Worth of shares outstanding = ($271 million / 75 million shares)
Worth of shares outstanding = $3.61 per shares
A practice, favored by unions, which contractually binds employers to hire only workers who are already members of the union is called a(n):
Answer:
The correct answer is: Closed Shop.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Closed Shop" refers to a type of practice well known as "pre-entry closed shop" too that unions favored with the only purpose to obligate the companies to contract workers who are already members of the union itself so in that situation both the company and the union tend to have an agreement of maintaining certain salary price for the workers so they are not in a continous fight. Moreover, this practice allow the workers to be employed by the company only if they are members of the union and as long as they are members of it.

On January 1, 2017, Crane Company decided to begin accumulating a fund for asset replacement five years later. The company plans to make five annual deposits of $64000 at 10% each January 1 beginning in 2017. What will be the balance in the fund, on January 1, 2022 (one year after the last deposit)
Answer:
Balance in the account on January 1, 2022 =$820,525.44
Explanation:
Ordinary annuity is that in which the annual cash flow occurs at the end of each year for certain number of years.
Where the cash flow occurs at the beginning of the period, it is known as annuity due. The deposit scheme decided by Crane Company is annuity due, so we would need to work out the future value of an annuity due as follows:
Future Value of Annuity Due (FVAD): This represents the total sum that would accrue where the annual cash flow( each occurring at the beginning of the year) is compounded at a particular rate. It can be determined as
FV = A×( (1+r)^n - 1)/r)× (1+r)
This is the same formula as the ordinary annuity but with an additional provision for the the first cash flow to earn interest. This is effected by multiplying the ordinary annuity formula with (1+r)
Now, we can apply this formula to our question:
DATA
A-cash flow- 64,000
r- discount rate-10%
n-number of years- 5
FV = 64,000 × ( 1.1^5 - 1)/0.05 × 1.05 = 820,525.44
FV = 820,525.44
Balance in the account on January 1, 2022 =820,525.44

Venture Capital Corporation loans Wally $15,000 to start a new business.Wally does not pay,but Venture fails to sue within the time prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations.Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred:_________
A) needs new consideration.
B) needs no consideration.
C) is unenforceable regardless of any consideration.
D) needs legally sufficient and adequate consideration.
Answer:
B) needs no consideration.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred needs no consideration. This is mainly due to the fact that the Corporation failed to sue within the statute of limitation that was set. Meaning they can no longer sue Wally in order to recover the loan that was given to him. If they were to try and sue Wally now the lawsuit would just be dismissed with no consideration given.

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.
Answer:
$1423.38
Explanation:
number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30
first payment = $100
interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134
increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08
we can calculate the present value using this Equation
= (p / (r-g)) * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]
where :
p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852
[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) = (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) = 0.7686
hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38
Note :
p ( first principal payment ) = $100
r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134
g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08

Fiedler's contingency model of leadership has made an important and lasting contribution to the study of leadership because it: Group of answer choices suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style. is the only theory to adopt the implicit leadership perspective. was the first theory to recognize the existence of leadership substitutes. discovered that effective leaders do not have a common set of competencies. is the only leadership theory to adopt a contingency approach.
Answer:
suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style.
Explanation:
Fiedler is of the view that a person's leadership style is a product of experiences throughout their lifetime. So it is difficult to change it.
He suggested that instead of teaching a particular leadership style and forcing people to align with them, it is better to adjust the situation to an individual's leadership style.
The weakness of this is that the leader may be more effective in a particular situation and weak in another one

ABC Corporation, after many profitable years, declares a one-time special cash dividend of $10.00 per share. After the announcement, the stock is trading at $100 per share. Your customer holds 1 ABC Jan 110 Call. As of the ex date, the customer will have:
Answer:
1 ABC Jan 100 Call
Explanation:
Although the OCC does not usually adjust the strike price of listed options for regular quarterly cash dividends. This is because they are known quantity that are segmented by the market into options premium.
For special cash dividends, they are not a frequent event hence market does not recognize them. This special cash dividend is $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000 value per contract. It therefore means that the $1,000 value per contract will be adjusted.
The new strike price will be
= 110 - 10 cash dividend
= 100. It also means that the number of shares covered by the contract does not change.
As a firm grows, it must support increases in revenue with new investments in assets. The self-supporting, or sustainable, growth model helps a firm assess how rapidly it can grow, while maintaining a balance between its cash outflows (increases in noncash assets) and inflows (funds resulting from increases in liabilities or equity). Consider the following case of Bohemian Manufacturing Company: Bohemian Manufacturing Company has no debt in its capital structure and has $300,000,000 in assets. Its sales revenues last year were $120,000,000 with a net income of $2,000,000. The company distributed $180,000 as dividends to its shareholders last year. Given the information above, what is Bohemian Manufacturing Company’s sustainable growth rate? 0.0601562% 0.5181384% 0.61% 4.1464268% Which of the following are assumptions of the sustainable (self-supporting) growth model? Check all that apply. The firm maintains a constant net profit margin. The firm’s liabilities and equity must increase at the same rate. The firm pays no dividends. The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.
Answer:
Sustainable growth rate = 0.67148%
The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate = ROE *Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)
When ROE = Net Income / Total Assets
= $2,000,000/$300,000,000
= 0.00667
Plow back Ratio = 1 - (Dividend / Net Income)
= 1 - ($180,000/$2,000,000)
= 1 - 0.09
=0.91
Sustainable growth rate = ROE * Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)
= 0.00667 * 0.91 / (1 - 0.00667 * 0.91)
= 0.0060697 / 0.9039303
=0.0067148
= 0.67148%
Therefore, the sustainable growth rate is 0.67148%
The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity is the correct assumption for the sustainable growth model.

The law of comparative advantage indicates that if a group of individuals wants to maximize their joint output, then each good should be supplied by
Answer:
b. the low opportunity cost producer.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
a. the person with the lowest wage rate.
b. the low opportunity cost producer.
c. the person with the most advanced technical knowledge.
d. the person that can accomplish the task most rapidly.
a country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
The monetary value of a homemaker's time CANNOT be estimated by
A. comparing the value of the services to the spouse's wage rate.
B. measuring the marginal value of the services by the homemaker's wage rate received in a part-time job.
C. measuring the services in terms of current market prices.
