A retired customer has an existing stock portfolio held in a cash account. He has heard that "leveraging" his portfolio can increase his return. The portfolio holds blue chip stocks that pay current dividends. He wants to transfer the positions to a margin account and use them as collateral to buy more stocks of the same blue chip companies. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. This is not an appropriate strategy because the customer's income will decline

Explanation:

A. The options for the question are:

This is an appropriate strategy that will increase the customer's income

B. This is not an appropriate strategy because the customer's tax liability will increase if the securities appreciate and are sold

C. This is not an appropriate strategy because the customer's income will decline

D. This is an appropriate strategy because the customer has the potential for larger capital gains

From the information that have been provided in the question, we can see that the customer needs income but based on the information that have been provided in the question, the interest that will be charged will eat up the dividend paid by the the stock.

Therefore, this is not an appropriate strategy because the customer's income will decline.

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

A $1,000 par value 10-year bond with a 10 percent coupon rate rec%ently sold for $900. The yield to maturity is:

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond  

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 10%× 1000 =100, Face Value - 1000, P-900, n- 10

YTM = (100 + (1000-900)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 900) )  

YTM = 0.1158  × 100 = 11.58 %

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %

During a recent​ month, Company planned to provide cleaning services to customers for per hour. Each job was expected to take hours. The company actually served more customers than​ expected, but the average time spent on each job was only hours each. ​'s revenues for the month were

Answers

Answer: B.  $1,050  more than expected.

Explanation:

The company originally planned to have revenue resulting from 30 customers and charging $30 for an estimated 33 hours.

Estimated revenue was;

= 30 * 30 * 3

= $2,700

However, in actuality, they sold to 20 more customers than estimated but only spent 2.5 hours each.

Number of customers = 30 + 20

= 50 customers

Actual revenue

= 50 * 30 * 2.5

= $3,750

Difference is;

= 3,750 - 2,700

= $1,050 more

Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).

Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.

Answers

Answer:

$125,026

Explanation:

Common Shares                                      3,600

Fair value                                                  $20

Total market value of common stock    $72,000

Preferred shares                                        5,600

Fair value                                                   $20

Total market value of preferred stock     $112,000

Lump Sum amount                                    $205,400

Amount of proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock = 205,400 * (112,000 / (72,000 + 112,000) ) = $125,026

Computing absorption costing gross profit
Refer to your answers to Short Exercise S21-6. Product X sells for $175 per unit. Assume no beginning inventories. Calculate the gross profit using absorption costing when Adamson:
a. Produces and sells 2,000 units.
b. Produces 2,500 units and sells 2,000 units
c. Produces 5,000 units and sells 2,000 units.

Answers

Answer:

a lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar question that can help you understand this one:

Variable costs (including direct labor, direct materials and variable overhead) = $80 per units

Fixed overhead = $150,000

a) If Adamson produces 2,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,000) = $80 + $75 = $155

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $155) = $350,000 - $310,000 = $40,000

b) If Adamson produces 2,500 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,500) = $80 + $60 = $140

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $140) = $350,000 - $280,000 = $70,000

c)  If Adamson produces 5,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 5,000) = $80 + $30 = $110

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $110) = $350,000 - $220,000 = $130,000

ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answers

Probability assigned:|

x 30 60 120 180

P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10

Answer:

Jane

Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:

$3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected Sales volume:

Number of Tubes  x   30     60      120     180

Probability P(x)           .10     .40      .40      .10

Expected values          3      24       48       18

Total = 93 tubes

Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23

b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily.  The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.

Answer:

Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Book Value            Fair Value

Current assets                                     $ 28,700               $ 22,300

Property, plant, and equipment             47,800                 52,600

Other assets                                             3,500                    5,800

Current liabilities                                      15,100                  14,900

Long-term liabilities                                 29,000                21,400

The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:

Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.

Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of  net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.

For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:

Particular                                                  Fair Value ($)  

Current assets                                               22,300

Property, plant, and equipment                   52,600

Other assets                                                    5,800

Current liabilities                                          (14,900)

Long-term liabilities                                      (21,400)  

Fair value of net asset                                44,400    

Therefore, we have:

Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset =  $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900

2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.

Answers

Answer:

Twitter's amended S-1 filing

Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:

= $98 million

Explanation:

Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the  long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.

The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000

The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth  $185,574,000

The capital expenditure in 2013 =       $98,450,000

The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.

Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company,"  as  it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."

Explanation:

Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. Compute the division's return on investment:

Answers

Answer:

14.7%

Explanation:

The computation of return on investment is shown below:

Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100

where,

Net Income is

= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense  

= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000

= $603,000

And,

Average total assets = $4,100,000

So,

Return on Investment is

= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100

= 14.7%

why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

"The internal rate of return method differs from the net present value method in that it results in finding the" ___________________ of the potential investment.

Answers

Answer: profitability

Explanation: The internal rate of return method differs from the net present value method in that it results in finding the profitability of the potential investment.

In capital budgeting which is the process by which companies determine whether a new investment or expansion opportunity is worthwhile and if undertaken, could either yield net profits or losses for the company, both the net present value (NPV) (present value of cash inflows minus the present value of cash outflows over a given period time) and the internal rate of return (IRR) methods are employed.

How does the IRR method determine profitability? - This it does by using a percentage value rather than a dollar amount and therefore is advantageous in representing the possible returns of investments by comparing it with other alternative investments.

Earnings per Share, Price-Earnings Ratio, Dividend Yield The following information was taken from the financial statements of Tolbert Inc. for December 31 of the current fiscal year:

Common stock, $25 par value (no change during the year) $5,500,000
Preferred $5 stock, $100 par (no change during the year) 3,000,000

The net income was $502,000 and the declared dividends on the common stock were $55,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $13.60 per share. For the common stock

Determine:
a. the earnings per share
b. the price-earnings ratio
c. the dividends per share
d. the dividend yield.

Answers

Answer:

a. the earnings per share  is $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio is 5.96 times

c. the dividends per share  is $0.25

d. the dividend yield is 1.84%

Explanation:

a. the earnings per share

Earning per share is the net earning of the company against each outstanding share.

Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares

Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)

Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio

Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.

Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share

Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28

Price earning Ratio = 5.96

c. the dividends per share

Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.

Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares

Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares

Dividend per share = $0.25 per share

d. the dividend yield.

Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.

Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share

Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%

Answers

Answer:

stock price

earning per share

dividends per share

Explanation:

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.

for example if a company has 4 million shares outstanding at a price of $20, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $0.50. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :

the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 4 million = 8 million

stock price becomes = $40 / 2 =$20

earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50

dividend per share = $0.5 / 2 = $0.25

b) Will dropping DVDs add $41,000 to the operating income?

No, dropping the DVDs product line will decrease operating income by $31,000, resulting in a total loss of $40,000. Even though the DVDs product line by itself is not profitable, it absorbs a large percentage of the fixed costs and if you get rid of it, all the fixed costs will be absorbed by the Blue-rays product line.

7 pounds of raw material are required to make 1 finished unit. The company desires an ending raw materials inventory for each month equal to 29% of the following months production (in units of raw material) . How many pounds of raw material should be purchased in May?

Answers

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

You own 10,000 shares of Microsoft stock. A good way to hedge the risk involved in owning this stock would be to buy some call options on Microsoft stock.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

If you want to hedge the risk of owning the stock then that would mean that you want to take measures to ensure that you don't lose out if prices fall.

A call option is not the way to do this because call options are bought with the expectations that prices will go up. If you buy call options then and the prices fall, you would make a loss on both the call options and the stock that you own.

A good way to hedge this would be to take Put options on the stock. Put options help you benefit if prices fall because you would be allowed to sell at a certain price unaffected by the fall in prices.

The marginal revenue of the last bowl of soup a restaurant (in a perfectly competitive market) produced was $11 and its marginal cost was $4. Each time the restaurant produces an additional bowl of soup the marginal cost increases by 20% relative to the previous bowl. The restaurant should:

Answers

Answer:

The restaurant should:

decrease its marginal cost in order to maintain the marginal profit and ensure that the marginal cost is not more than the average cost.

Explanation:

Company A's marginal cost represents the incremental costs incurred when the company produces an additional unit of its good or service.  This company's marginal cost is calculated by dividing the total change in the cost of producing more goods by the change in the number of goods produced.  For example, if the cost of production increases by $120 when additional 10 units of goods are produced, then the marginal cost = $12 ($120/10).
