Answer:
The geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
Explanation:
Geometric average return refers to the return which will result in the correct compounded dollars at the end of the time period.
Geometric average return can be computed using the following formula:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + r1)(1 + r2) ... (1 + rn)]^(1/n)} - 1 ......... (1)
Where r is returns from year 1 to year n.
For the stock in the question, we have:
r1 = 9.62%, 0.0962
r2 = -14.65%, or -0.1465
r3 = 19.85%, or 0.1985
r4 = 25.35%, or 0.2535
r5 = 7.65%, or 0.0765
n = 5
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + 0.0962)(1 - 0.1465)(1 + 0.1985)(1 + 0.2535)(1 + 0.0765)]^(1/5)} - 1
Geometric average return = {1.51310732605096^0.20} - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0864, or 8.64%
Therefore, the geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.
Answer:
b) $1,160
Explanation:
From the above information,
I=Investment = 50
G=Government expenditure = 150
X=Net export = 20
a=autonomous consumption = 100
b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75
Y=Equilibrium GDP
C = consumption ;
C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)
Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)
PAE = C + l +G +X
Substituting for C in the above equation,
PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20
= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20
= 290 + 0.75Y
Since short run exists when Y = PAE
Therefore,
Y = 290 + 0.75Y
Collect like terms
Y - 0.75Y = 290
0.25Y =290
Y = 290/0.25
Y = 1,160
You purchased a share of stock for $120. One year later you received $1.82 as a dividend and sold the share for $136. What was your holding-period return
Answer:
Holding period return =14.85 %
Explanation:
The return on stock is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.
Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.
Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.
Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:
Holding period return = (Dividend + capital gain)/Begin Price of stock × 100
Dividend = $1.82
Capital gains= 136 - 120 = 16
Total dollar return on Investment = 1.82 + 16= $ 17.82
= 17.82/120 × 100 = 14.85 %
Holding period return =14.85 %

52 31,800 21,200
Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for 2020, assuming Lott Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $ 882,000, direct labor costs of $735,000, and direct labor hours of 21,000 for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $882,000 and, direct labor costs of $735,000
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 882,000/735,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar
The Bathtub Division of Kirk Plumbing Corporation has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with gold-plated fixtures for the company's 50-year anniversary. It would make only 5,000 of these units. It would like the Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $160. If sold externally, the estimated variable cost per unit would be $140. However, by selling internally, the Faucet Division would save $6 per unit on variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for $43 per unit and has variable costs of $25.
Required:
Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should be willing to accept, and discuss whether it should accept this offer.
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $152
Explanation:
The minimum transfer price can be calculated by Adding variable cost and the contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = $134 + $18
Minimum transfer price = $152
Working
Variable cost = $140 -$6(saving) = $134
Contribution margin lost = Selling price - variable cost per unit
Contribution margin lost = $43 - $25
Contribution margin lost = $18
Decision: The offer should be accepted because the minimum transfer price of $152 is less than $160

Total costs:
Total variable costs $720,000 $1,440,000 $2,160,000
Total fixed costs $600,000 $600,000 $600,000
Total costs $1,320,000 $2,040,000 $2,760,000
Cost per Unit
Variable cost $18 $18 $18
Fixed cost $15 $7.50 $5
Total cost $33 $25.50 $23
Fixed costs do not change with total output, they are the same regardless so the number of units produced. Variable costs change proportionally to any change in total output. If total output increases, variable costs will increase.

1. What is the company's cost of equity?
2. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
3. What is the company's weight of equity?
4. What is the company's weight of debt?
5. What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %

a. Estimate Kroger's cost of equity capital.
b. Estimate Kroger's weighted-average cost of capital. Prepare a spreadsheet or table showing the relevant variables.
Answer:
a. 11.16 %
b. 7.56 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity capital is the return that is required by Common Stockholders.
This can be determined as follows :
1. Growth Model
Cost of equity = Recent dividend / Market Price of Share + Expected Growth Rate
or
2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Cost of equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio Security
= 4.54% + 1.05 × 6.30%
= 11.16 %
WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) +Kp × (P/V)
Explanation and value of Variables
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 11.16 %
E/V = Weight of Equity
= $ 4,965 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)
= 42.66 %
Kd = Cost of Debt :
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.35)
= 4.875 or 4.88 %
D/V = Weight of Debt
= $ 6,674 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)
= 57.34 %
Therefore,
WACC = 11.16 % × 42.66 % + 4.88 % × 57.34 %
= 7.56 %

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?
Answer: 19,900 hours
Explanation:
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
Applied Manufacturing Overhead
When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.
To find the Applied overhead therefore;
= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount
= 110,410 - 12,900
= $97,510
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
= 97,510/4.9
= 19,900 hours

Answer: Find the answer in the attached file
Explanation:
Choose the statement that is incorrect.
A. In the long run, a rise in the foreign price level brings dollar appreciation and a rise in the U.S. price level brings dollar depreciation.
B. In the long run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.
C. In the long run, the nominal exchange rate is a monetary phenomenon.
D. In the long run, the nominal exchange rate is determined by the quantities of money in two countries.
Answer:
B. In the long run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.
Explanation:
As we know that in the short run there is a decline in the nominal exchange that results in a decrease of real exchange rate due to which there is a reduction of the import and the export is risen.
But in the case of the long run, if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so the real exchange rate would remain the same
This results that if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so it would not bring the equal change in the real exchange rate
Hence, option B is incorrect
Sue Helms Appliances wants to establish an assembly line to manufacture its new product, the Micro Popcorn Popper. The goal is to produce five poppers per hour. The tasks, task times, and immediate predecessors for producing one Micro Popcorn Popper are as follows:

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________
Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?
c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________
Answer:
Please see explanation below.
Explanation:
a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour
= 60 / 5
= 12minutes
Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time
Sum of task time
= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4
= 48
The theoretical minimum number of work stations is
= 48 / 12
= 4
b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.
°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.
°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.
Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.
°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.
°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.
Task Time Workstation
A. 8 1
B. 10 2
C. 8 3
D. 10 4
E. 8 -
F. 4 -
Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.
C. Efficiency of the assembly line
Efficiency ;
= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time
Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.
= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100
= 80%
The theoretical minimum should be = 4
The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent
The production time = 60
The units that are required per hour = 5
[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

On January 1, Parson Freight Company issues 9.0%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $3,400,000. The bonds pay interest semiannually. The market rate of interest is 10.0% and the bond selling price was $3,168,967. The bond issuance should be recorded as:
Answer:
January 1
Cash $3168967 Dr
Discount on Bonds Payable $231033
Bonds Payable $3400000 Cr
Explanation:
The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.
The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.
Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033
When recording journal entries for production costs using a standard cost accounting system, the debit to Work in Process Inventory account is for the ______ amount.

Polly Khan is trying to calculate the current market rate given the following information: Investor’s have been requiring a 12% annual return on Builtrite’s stock which has a beta of 2.0 and the current risk-free rate is 4%. What is the current market rate?
Answer:
The current market rate is 8%
Explanation:
The market rate is the return on market or the market portfolio. To calculate the market rate (rM) we will use the CAPM equation which is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock or portfolio. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the market rateWe already know the value of r, rRF and Beta. We will input these values in the above equation to calculate the market rate.
0.12 = 0.04 + 2 * (rM - 0.04)
0.12 - 0.04 = 2 * rM - 0.08
0.08 + 0.08 = 2 * rM
0.16 / 2 = rM
rM = 0.08 or 8%
A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any
Answer:
The Correct Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.
This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.
An exchange-rate policy in which the government usually allows the exchange rate to be set by the market, but sometimes intervenes is called a __________________ exchange rate system.
Answer: Managed Float
Explanation:
Also called "Dirty Float", the Managed float is an exchange rate system that allows for the currency of a country to be set by the forces of demand and supply in the market.
However, unlike in a clean float, the Central bank will occasionally intervene in the market to influence the how fast the currency is changing value or to control the direction it is going.
This is usually done to protect the domestic economy from sudden shocks in the global economy.

Explanation:
MicroTech Corporation maintains a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. To finance its capital budget for next year, the firm will sell 11% coupon bonds at par value (assume no flotation costs). The firm will finance the rest of its capital expenditures with retained earnings. MicroTech expects next year's dividend to be $1.30 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. The current market value of MicroTech's common stock is $30 per share. If the firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%, what is its weighted cost of capital for next year?
Answer:
weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.
Explanation:
Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)
Ke = Cost of Equity
= Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate
= $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07
= 0.11333 or 11.33 %
Kd = Cost of Debt
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 8.69 %
Weighted cost of capital = 11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%
= 10.27 %
2. Using semiannual compounding, what is the value to you of a 9% coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 that matures in 10 years if you require a 7% return
Answer:
The Value of the Bond, PV is $10.962.65
Explanation:
The Value of the Bond (PV) can be determined as follows :
PMT = ($10,000 × 9%) ÷ 2 = $450
P/YR = 2
N = 10
Required Return (YTM) = 7 %
FV = $10,000
PV = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Value of the Bond, PV is $10.962.65
Union Local School District has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 3.8 percent and the bonds have a par value of $10,000. What is the dollar price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$10,974.45
Explanation:
coupon rate 4.5%, semiannual = 2.25%
20 years until maturity = 40 periods
market rate 3.8%, semiannual = 1.9%
par value $10,000
market price of the bonds = PV of par value + PV of coupon payments
PV of par value = $10,000 / (1 + 1.9%)⁴⁰ = $4,710.13
PV of coupon payments = $225 x 27.84144 (PV annuity factor, 1.9%, 40 periods) = $6,264.32
market value = $4,710.13 + $6,264.32 = $10,974.45
Answer:
The dollar price of the bond is $10,974.45.
Explanation:
The dollar price of the bond, PV, can be determined as follows :
N = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = ($10,000 × 4.5%) ÷ 2 = $225
P/YR = 2
YTM = 3.80 %
FV = $10,000
PV = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the dollar price of the bond, PV is $10,974.45.

2. Does Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both years before taxes and interest) to cover the cost of debt financing?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer:
A.
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
B. Yes
Explanation:
Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015
First step is to find the EBIT
EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $
Gross profit 44,500 58,400
Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)
EBIT 7,600 19,600
Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula
Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
Time interest earned 2016 2015
EBIT $7,600 $19,600
÷Interest expense $590 $520
=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7
Therefore the Time interest earned will be :
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
2. Yes Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both 2015 and 2016 before taxes and interest in order to cover the cost of debt financing.
