"A mutual fund manager of a "high technology" fund feels that the market for this sector will remain flat in the next coming months and he wishes to generate some additional income against his portfolio. The best strategy is to sell:"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  C.  narrow-based calls

Explanation:

Narrow based calls would include calls from one industry. The mutual fund is an "High technology" firm which means that it is a narrow based fund for instance as it is interested only in one industry being the High Tech industry.

The manager should invest in Narrow based calls that focus on the sector if he anticipates that the market will remain flat for the sector. Narrow based Calls are more volatile because they are specific and with the volatility comes higher premiums to be charged.

Should he wish to make income against the portfolio, he should sell these knowing that the options will not be called as the market will remain flat.

(Round your intermediate answers to the nearest​ cent, and your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Carrying value December 31, 2018 = $24,137.50

Explanation:

the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:

Waller Sales issued $30,000 in bonds for $23,300. These are eight-year bonds with a stated rate of 11%

The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:

January 1, 2018, bonds are issued at a discount:

Dr Cash 23,300

Dr Discount on bonds payable 6,700

    Cr Bonds payable 30,000

discount amortization = $6,700 / 16 coupons = $418.75 per coupon payment

First and second coupon payments:

June 30 (or December 31), 2018, coupon payments

Dr Interest expense 3,718.75

    Cr Cash 3,300

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 418.75

Carrying value June 30, 2018 = $23,300 + $418.75 = $23,718.75

Carrying value December 31, 2018 = $23,300 + $418.75 = $24,137.50

Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.

Answers

Answer:

1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.

Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.

2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.

The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).

Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;

= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital

= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150

= 13.33

After the $100 was borrowed

= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150

= 14.

3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.

The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.

The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 50,000 automobile tires: Actual: 725,000 lbs. at $3.00 per lb. Standard: 730,000 lbs. at $2.95 per lb. a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 725,000 × ($2.95- $3)

= 725,000 × $0.5

= $36,250 unfavorable

b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $2.95 × (730,000 - 725,000)

= $2.95 × 5,000

= $14,750 favorable

And, the total direct material cost variance is

= Material price variance + material cost variance

= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable

= $21,500 unfavorable

Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.

Answers

Answer:

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895

Explanation:

                                         materials          machine hours      profit

standard size                    0.125 kg              1/6                        $10

oversize                             0.4 kg                 1/5                        $15

constraints 80 kilograms of materials

40 hours of manufacturing

profit per machine hour:

standard size  $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)

oversize  $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

profit per kilogram of alloy:

standard size  $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)

oversize  $15 / .4  = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total manufacturing time = 40 hours

if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).

Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be

Answers

Answer:

$152,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory

First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount

Using this formula

Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail

Let plug in the formula

Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000

Beginning Inventory =$120,000

Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount

Using this formula

Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer

Let plug in the formula

Current period purchases=64%*50,000

Current period purchases=$32,000

The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula

Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000

Ending inventory cost=$152,000

Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000

Which of the following stocks is less risky? Stock Average Return Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation X 10% 40% 4 Y 20% 40% 2

Answers

Answer:

Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation is a statistical model which is also used to determine the volatility per unit of a factor. In terms of a stock, the coefficient of variation calculates the volatility of its return. It is calculated by dividing the stock's standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the stock's mean return or expected return.

CV = SD / r

Where,

CV is coefficient of variationSD is standard deviationr is expected return

The CV of a stock tells us the risk per unit of return. The higher the CV, the riskier the stock and vice versa.

Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has  a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.

Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now

Answers

Answer:

Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000

Explanation:

The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%

The initial margin = $4,000

Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)

Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20

Increase in the Margin value =$2,000

Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000

Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000

Answers

Answer:

$0 gain/loss

Explanation:

A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000

The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000

The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment

Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation

= $290,000-$145,000

= $145,000

Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows

= Selling price-book value

= $145,000-$145,000

= 0

Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment

Answer:

Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

Explanation:

The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.

Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value

The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.

Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date

Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000

Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.

Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as: Multiple Choice 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 2 days. 2% discount if paid within 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 10 days. 10% cash discount if the amount is paid within 2 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Answers

Answer:

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as:

2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Explanation:

I will explain using an example:

On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.

January 2

Dr Accounts receivable 1,000

    Cr Sales revenue

If the client pays within the discount period:

January 11

Dr Cash 980

Dr Sales discounts 20

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:

January 31

Dr Cash 1,000

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.

Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.

It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30. This implies that if the invoice is paid in full within ten days, a 2% reduction is applied; otherwise, the full amount is owed.

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.6 pounds $
2.00

Total standard cost per unit $ 11.13
*Based on machine-hours.

During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:

Purchased 15,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.45 per pound.

Used 10,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.30 per hour.

Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $3,000 for the month. A total of 1,200 machine-hours was recorded.

It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for June:

a. Materials price and quantity variances.

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.

2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.

Answers

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price  

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 -  10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance  = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) *  Standard rate  

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance  = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10    

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

2.    Variances                                            Amount

Material price variance                             7,110 U

Material quantity variance                         400 F

Labor rate variance                                    630 F

Labor efficiency variance                           3,960 U

Variable overhead rate variance               480 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance      630 U

Net variance                                                11,150 U

The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

A. Increase $254,000
B. Decrease $19,000
C. Increase $527,000
D. Increase $19,000

Answers

Answer:

B. Decrease $19,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount affect the operating income is shown below

But before that first we need to find the new operating income

Total operating income for Cat Food  $280,000

Less: Fixed costs for Dog Food           ($52000)

Add: rented per year                             $26000

New net operating income                  $254000

Now decrease in net operating income is

= operating income - new operating income

= $273,000 - $254,000

= $19,000

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year

Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%

= 3/100

= 0.03

The risk free rate of return is 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%

= 13/100

= 0.13

The beta is 0.5

The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return

= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)

= 0.05+0.5(0.08)

= 0.05+0.04

= 0.09

Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows

Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)

Vo= 6/0.12

Vo= $50

Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50

Debra and Merina sell electronic equipment and supplies through their partnership. They wish to expand their computer lines and decide to admit Wayne to the partnership. Debra's capital is $200,000, Merina's capital is $160,000, and they share income in a ratio of 3:2, respectively.Required:Record Wayne's admission for each of the following independent situations:a. Wayne directly purchases half of Merina's investment in the partnership for $97,000.b. Wayne invests the amount needed to give him a one-third interest in the partnership's capital if no goodwill or bonus is recorded.

Answers

Answer:

a. Merina's captal is $160,000. Half would be $80,000.

Entry;

DR Merina, Capital ..................................................................$80,000

CR Wayne, Capital ....................................................................................$80,000

(To record purchase of half of Merina Capital)

b.

DR Cash......................................................................$180,000

CR Wayne, Capital.........................................................................$180,000

(To record Wayne investment)

Working

The current Capital amount is;

= 200,000 +160,000

= $360,000

If Wayne joins and adds to this such that he owns 1/3 then;

2/3x = 360,000

x = 360,000/2/3

x = $540,000

Wayne's share would be;

= 1/3 * 540,000

= $180,000

The journal entries that would take place will take effect as A- A debit in Merina's capital amount and Cash account as $17000 and a credit effect in Wayne's capital account. The amount of debit and credit will be $97000.

And for B- There will be Debit in Cash account effecting a credit in The Wayne's capital account. The amount effecting the debit and credit side will be $180,000.

The journal entries are added in the images attached to the answer. The entries would take place in the journal entries on the respective date of their occurrence.( Image attached below).

When Wayne is introduced as partner for one third share the calculation of the amount of his capital would be shown as considering the capital as x. The capital by existing partners is $360000. (Image below).

,[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x\ = 360000[/tex]

[tex]x= \dfrac {360000}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

Now the value of x will be calculated as

[tex]x= \dfrac{540000}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=180000[/tex]

Therefore Wayne's capital will be calculated as $180,000, so he will be required to bring in additional $180,000 capital in the firm for getting one third share in the profits and losses of the company.

Hence, the correct statements for A will be that Wayne pays $97000 which will be divided in Merina's capital and cash accounts in the proportion of $80000 and $17000 respectively.

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?

Answers

Answer:

5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150

Explanation:

Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.

Price of fish = $5 per pound.

There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.

For 1 boat

Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000

Cost = $500

Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500

Profit = $500.

For 2 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500

Profit of each boat = $450.

For 3 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500

Profit of each boat = $375

For 4 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500

Profit of each boat = $275

For 5 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500

Profit of each boat = $150.

Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.

Emira wants to buy a classic drawing from an art centre in Kuala Lumpur. She managed to secure a painting by a renowned Malaysian artist that costs her RM99,800. Currently, she only has RM12,650 in her savings account and she intends to use 70% of her saving to fund the purchase. If she borrows the remaining amount from Bank Atlantis that levies 4.77% of interest rates, determine the total interest payment that she will pay if the agreement takes 10 years of settlement.

Answers

Answer:

RM23,617.80

Explanation:

cost of the painting RM99,800

she has RM12,650 on her bank account and she will use 70% = RM8,855 as down payment. She will borrow the rest = RM99,800 - RM8,855 = RM90,945

interest charged on the loan 4.77% / 12 = 0.3975%

120 monthly periods (10 years)

using the present value formula to determine the monthly payment:

PV = monthly payment x annuity factor

monthly payment = PV / annuity factor

PV = 90,945

annuity factor (120 periods, 0.3975%) = 95.26168

monthly payment = 90,945 / 95.26168 = 954.69

total payments = 120 x 954.69 = RM114,562.80

interests paid = RM114,562.80 - RM90,945 = RM23,617.80

Answers

Answer:

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Explanation:

Return on Investment is the proportion of operating assets that an investment center earned as as net operating income.

ROI is measure of the returned earned by a division relative to the amount invested in the assets used to generate the return.

It is calculated as follows

ROI = operating income/operating assets

Division A

Net operating income = Sales - expenses

Net operating income = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000

Operating assets = 950,000

ROI = 50,000/950,000× 100 = 5.26 %

Division B

Net operating income = 45,000 - 35,000 = 10,000

Operating assets = 200,000

ROI = 10,000/ 200,000 × 100 = 5 %

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Find the operating cash flow for the year for Harper​ Brothers, Inc. if it had sales revenue of ​, cost of goods sold of ​, sales and administrative costs of ​, depreciation expense of ​, and a tax rate of .

Answers

Answer:

$101,960,000

Explanation:

For the computation of operating cash flow first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-

Step 1

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Sales and administrative costs - Depreciation

= $302,100,000 - $135,900,000 - $39,600,000 - $65,000,000

= $61,600,000

Step 2

Net income = EBIT - Tax

= $61,600,000 - ($61,600,000 × 40%)

= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000

= $36,960,000

and finally

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000 + $65,000,000

= $101,960,000

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:

a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?

Answers

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR
