Answer:
10.8%
Explanation:
Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Expected rate - Risk free rate )
14.2% = 5.4% + 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )
14.2% - 5.4% = 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )
8.8% / 1.63 = market rate - 5.4%
5.4% = market rate - 5.4%
Market rate = 5.4% + 5.4%
Market rate = 10.8%
Market rate = 10.8%
Keating Co. is considering disposing of equipment with a cost of $55,000 and accumulated depreciation of $38,500. Keating Co. can sell the equipment through a broker for $29,000, less a 5% broker commission. Alternatively, Gunner Co. has offered to lease the equipment for five years for a total of $45,000. Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $12,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is
Answer:
$9,250
Explanation:
Calculation for the net differential income from the lease alternative
Lease amount=$45,000
Estimated expenses=$12,000
Net sale of equipment=Sale of equipment through broker $25,000 less 5% commission
Using this formula
Net differential income = Lease amount - estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net differential income= $45,000-$12,000-($25,000-($25,000*5%)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-($25,000-$1,250)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-$23,750
Net differential income=$45,000-$35,750
Net differential income=$9,250
Therefore net differential income from the lease alternative is $9,250

As an initial transaction in a new margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $20 per share. After the customer deposits the appropriate margin, the credit balance in the account will be:
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $2,000 = $1,500 . However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 required to open the account, hence $2,000 must be deposited.
Therefore, the credit balance in the account will be;
= 2,000 + 2,000 ( 100 × $20)
= $4,000
Eccles Inc. Eccles Inc., a zero growth firm, has an expected EBIT of $100,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Eccles uses $500,000 of 12.0% debt, and the cost of equity to an unlevered firm in the same risk class is 16.0%. Refer to the data for Eccles Inc. What is the firm's cost of equity according to MM with corporate taxes? a. 25.9% b. 32.0% c. 28.8% d. 21.0% e. 23.3%
Answer:
b) 32%
Explanation:
Formula for calculating cost of equity is given as ;
r levered = r levered + ( debt / equity × ( r unlevered - cost of debt) × ( 1 - tax)
r unlevered is the cost of an unlevered equity = 16.0%
Debt = $500,000
Cost of debt = 12%
Equity = unknown
Firstly, we need to calculate the value of the firm and the formula is denoted by;
EBIT ( 1 - tax ) / Unlevered cost of equity + ( debt × tax )
= $100,000 ( 1 - 30% ) / 16% + ( $500,000 × 30% )
= $100,000 ( 0.7 ) /0.16 + $30,000
= $437,500 + $150,000
= $587,500
r levered = 16% + ( $500,000 / ( $587,500 - $500,000 ) × ( 16% - 12% ) × ( 1 - 30%)
= 0.16 + ( $500,000 / 87,500 ) × 0.04 × ( 0.7 )
= 0.16 + 5.71 × 0.04 × 0.7
= 32%

BankMart Inc. recently issued bonds that mature in 9 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 3%. The current market interest rate is 8%.What should be the bond's price?
Answer:
Price of Bond = $687.66
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Bank Mart Inc can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 3%× 1000 = 30
PV of interest payment
PV = A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)
A- 30, r- 8%, n- 9
30× ((1-1.08^(-9))/0.08)=187.41
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - 1000, r- 8%, n- 9
PV of RV = 1000 × 1.08^(-9) = 500.24
Step 3
Price of bond
Total PV = 187.41 + 500.24 = $687.66
Price of Bond = $687.66

Answer:
$4,000 gain
Explanation:
Some information was missing:
the spot rates for euros were:
November 15, 20X3 $0.4955 per €1 December 10, 20X3 $0.4875 per €1December 31, 20X3 $0.4675 per €1January 10, 20X4 $0.4475 per €1In Chow's December 31, 20X3, income statement, the foreign exchange gain is ?
the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4875 = $97,500 on December 10, 20x3
the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4675 = $93,500 on December 31, 20x3
Since the goods were sold FOB shipping point, we have to use the shipping date (December 10) to calculate the original price. By December 31, the price in US dollars had decreased by $4,000 resulting in a foreign exchange gain.
Calculate the real deficit or surplus in the following cases: a. Inflation is 17 percent. Debt is $7 trillion. Nominal deficit is $820 billion.
Answer:
$370 Billion Surplus
Explanation:
We can find the real deficit by using the following formula:
Real Surplus / (Deficit) = Nominal Deficit – (Inflation * Total Debt)
Here,
Nominal Deficit is $820 Billions
Inflation is 17%
And
Total Debt is $7 Trillion
By putting values, we have:
Real Deficit = $820 Billions - (17% * $7,000 Billions)
= $370 Billion Surplus

The following information is available for the first month of operations of Diacox Inc., a manufacturer of sports apparel:
Sales $2,050,000
Gross profit 490,000
Indirect labor 152,000
Indirect materials 45,000
Other factory overhead 515,000
Materials purchased 801,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 1,710,000
Materials inventory, end of period 36,800
Using the given information, determine the following:__________.
Cost of goods sold
Direct materials cost
Direct labor cost
Answer:
Cost of goods sold= $1,560,000
Direct material cost= $764,200
Direct labor= $233,800
Explanation:
(A) Cost of goods sold= Sales -gross profit
Sales= $2,050,000
Gross profit= $490,000
Therefore, the cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows
= $2,050,000-$490,000
= $1,560,000
(B) Direct materials cost= Materials purchased-materials inventory ending
Material purchased= $801,000
Material inventory ending= $36,800
Therefore, the direct material cost can be calculated as follows
= $801,000-$36,800
= $764,200
(C) Direct labor= Total manufacturing cost-direct material cost-manufacturing overhead
Total manufacturing cost= $1,710,000
Direct material cost= $764,200
Manufacturing overhead= indirect labor+indirect material+other factory overhead
$152,000+$45,000+$515,000
= $712,000
Therefore, the direct labor can be calculated as follows
= $1,710,000-$764,200-$712,000
= $233,800

Elaine takes out a $100,000 mortgage on December 1, 1997. Elaine will repay the mortgage over 20 years with level monthly payments at an effective annual interest rate of 8%. The first payment is due January 1, 1998. After making her 120th payment, Elaine does not make any new payments for the entire next year. Elaine starts making revised monthly payments, of amount P, beginning January 1, 2009. The amount P is such that Elaine will pay off the loan in the original, 20-year term—that is to say, her last payment will be due December 1, 2017. Determine P.
Answer:
I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. The original monthly payment was $836.44. After the 120th payment, the remaining principal balance was $68,940.64. Since she didn't pay anything for 1 year, the new principal balance will be $68,940.64 x (1 + 8%) = $74,455.89
I prepared another amortization schedule for the remaining 9 years, and the monthly payment is $969.32. She will pay off the loan in 108 months.
If the domino effect occurs as a result of changes in the money supply, what will most likely happen as an immediate result of interest rates being increased? Borrowing will decrease. Investing will decrease. Inflation will increase. Liquidity will increase.
Answer:
The answer is: interest rates will decrease
Explanation:
Just got correct on edge
If there is an increase in the interest rate, then borrowing will decrease.
The term "domino effect" refers to the cumulative effect that is produced by one event that eventually leads to the same effect on others. In other words, the domino effect is when one disaster affects or brings destruction or disruption to others, leading to similar events.
One result will lead to a chain reaction in this event, affecting the rest of the cycle. This means that like one domino's downfall brings the next domino down, one destruction will lead to the fall of the next, taking the cycle to the end until all falls. In this scenario, if the interest rates are being increased, then it will lead to a decreased rate of borrowing. A change in the money supply will increase the interest rate. This will only leave the customers looking for a way out, which means there will be a lower rate of borrowing.In a domino effect, one event will bring the fall of the other. Therefore, if the interest rates increase, there will only be more problems for the customers. This will leave them reducing or decreasing the borrowing rate in the market. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.50. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 8% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
The current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula that assumes growth is dividend will be constant as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price = ?
D1 = Next dividend = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1 + 2%) = $1.53
r = required return = 8%, or 0.08
g = growth rate = 2%, or 0.02
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $1.53 / (0.08 - 0.02) = $25.50
Therefore, the current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.

Lisa loaned $6,000 to her brother several years ago. In the current year, she determines that the loan is uncollectible. Lisa also has a $4,000 long-term capital gain in the current year from a stock sale. How much of the $6,000 loan can Lisa use/deduct in the current year g
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Loaned amount several years ago = $6,000
Long term capital gain = $4,000
Based on the above information
Lisa is not in the position to subtract the loss from the loan i.e. uncollectible as according to the Internal revenue service (IRS) it is mentioned that if the loan is given to a brother the same is treated as a gift
So, the amount would be $0
A firm has net working capital of $2,715, net fixed assets of $22,407, sales of $31,350, and current liabilities of $3,908. How many dollars' worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets
Answer:
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Explanation:
To calculate how many dollars worth of sales are generated by $1 of total assets, we use the total assets turnover ratio. It is an accounting measure that measures the efficiency of the company's assets in generating sales. It calculates the dollar values of sales generated by each $1 of total assets. The formula for total assets turnover is,
Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Average Total Assets
We already know the level of sales. We need to determine the value of total assets first.
Total Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets
As we know that net working capital = current assets - current liabilities,
So, the current assets are,
2715 = Current assets - 3908
2715 + 3908 = Current assets
Current assets = $6623
Total assets = 6623 + 22407
Total assets = $29030
Total Assets Turnover = 31350 / 29030
Total assets turnover = 1.0799 rounded off to 1.08
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Which of the following do you NOT include when calculating the closing balance of PP&E?
a) Cash capital expenditures
b) PP&E acquired through acquisitions
c) PP&E acquired under capital or financing leases
d) Changes in working capital
Answer:
d) Changes in working capital
Explanation:
the formula used for calculating net PP&E is:
Net PP&E = gross PP&E + capital expenditures - accumulated depreciation
PP&E represents fixed assets (plant, property, and equipment).
On the other hand, working capital involves current assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventories, taxes payable, etc.

Bob sells a car to Fred but Bob fails to mention that he disconnected the odometer, which reads 39,000 miles. Bob disconnected the odometer 20,000 miles ago. Which of the following is TRUE?
a. duress.
b. undue influence.
c. puffery.
d. Fraud in the inducement.
e. none of the above.
Answer:
d. Fraud in the inducement.

In this scenario, there was Fraud in the inducement. Fraud refers to the wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. Which in this case, by selling a car to Fred and claiming that it has 39,000 miles on (which it does not) they are deceiving Fred in order to make a sale. In doing so they are selling Fred a car that has 20,000 extra miles on it and possibly more internal damage than advertised by the Seller.
The GoT cups are a fast seller and you need to ensure that you have enough rolls of paper to fulfill demand. The first stage in the process is to determine the total cost of the current inventory ordering model. Given the following information, how many rolls should they order to minimize costs?H: $1.75 per unitD: 500 rolls per monthQ: 100 units ordered at a timeS: $25 per order
Answer:
EOQ = 414 rolls
Explanation:
In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.
DATA
Holding cost = $1.75/unit
Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls
Ordering cost = $25
Formula
EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = ordering cost
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost
Solution
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = 414 rolls
They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.
Answer:
119 units
Explanation:
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]
EOQ is 119 units.
