A stock has an expected return of 8.19 percent and its reward-to-risk ratio is 6.9 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2.15 percent, what is the stock's beta

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.87

Explanation:

The beta of the stock can be calculated by rearranging the Reward to risk ratio formula. The Reward to risk ratio is given below

DATA

Risk free rate of return = 2.15%

Reward to risk ratio  = 6.9%

Expected return = 8.19%

Beta =?

Reward to risk ratio = (expected return - risk free rate) / beta.

6.9% = ( 8.19% - 2.15%) / beta

6.9% = 6.04%/beta

beta = 6.04% / 6.9%

beta = 0.87

Expected selling price $

Answers

Answer:

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.

The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

r = 0.04 + 1 * (0.15 - 0.04)

r = 0.15 or 15%

Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is expected dividend for the next periodg is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available variables, g is,

110 = 8 / (0.15 - g)

110* (0.15 - g) = 8

16.5 - 110g = 8

g = (8 - 16.5) / -110

g = 0.077272 or 7.7272% rounded off to 7.73%

So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.

P1 = 8 * (1+0.0773) / (0.15 - 0.0773)

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

Answers

Answer:

The Puyer Corporation

The total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is:

$174,800

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Advertising                                       $ 51,200

Executive salaries                            $ 61,200

Depreciation on office equipment $ 21,200

Other                                               $ 41,200

Total fixed selling & admin. exp.   $174,800

b) The Puyer Corporation's fixed selling and administrative expenses are always fixed in total but not per unit of Deb within the short-term because they do not depend on Deb's volume of production or sale.  They are unlike the variable aspect of expenses that are fixed per unit of Deb but vary in total.  Those expenses which do not vary with the level or volume of sales or production activity of Deb are regarded as fixed because the level or volume of sales or production activity of Deb does not change their totals.  But, in the long-term, Puyer's fixed expenses will vary in total as well as per unit of Deb produced or sold.

Answers

Answer:

Investors are risk averse, which means that they are willing to invest in low risk projects or investments. In order for an investor to invest in a riskier project, he/she will expect to receive higher returns to compensate for the extra risk. US Treasury bonds are probably the safest investments in the world, that is why they yield the lowest interest rate. AAA bonds are less risky than BBB bonds, which in turn are less risky than CCC bonds. That is why AAA bonds yield a lower return than BBB bonds, and BBB bonds yield a lower return than CCC bonds.

Eakins Inc.'s common stock currently sells for $15.00 per share, the company expects to earn $2.75 per share during the current year, its expected payout ratio is 70%, and its expected constant growth rate is 6.00%. New stock can be sold to the public at the current price, but a flotation cost of 8% would be incurred. By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings

Answers

Answer:

1.12%

Explanation:

By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings = Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings

Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 70%) / 15) + 6.00%  

Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 0.7) / 15) + 0.06

Cost of retained earnings = 0.1283 + 0.06

Cost of retained earnings =0.1883

Cost of retained earnings = 18.83%

Cost of new equity= ((2.75 * 70%) / (15 * (1 - 8%) ) + 6.00%

Cost of new equity= 19.95%

Hence, Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings

= 19.95% - 18.83%

= 1.12%

The Absolute Zero Co. just issued a dividend of $2.70 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5.6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $54 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

10.88%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the company's cost of equity is shown below:-

Stock price = (Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ (Cost of equity - Growth rate)

$54 = ($2.70 × (1 + 0.056)) ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.056)

Cost of equity = $2.8512 ÷ $54 + 0.056

= 10.88%

Therefore for computing the cost of equity we simply applied the above formula.

A company determined that the budgeted cost of producing a product is $30 per unit. On June 1, there were 89000 units on hand, the sales department budgeted sales of 390000 units in June, and the company desires to have 200000 units on hand on June 30. The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $8,370,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary cost= $30

Beginning inventory= 89,000

Sales= 390,000

Ending inventory= 200,000

First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:

Units sold= 89,000 + 390,000 - 200,000

Units sold= 279,000

Now, the cost of goods sold:

COGS= 279,000*30= $8,370,000

One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year

Answers

Answer:

Dividend = $2.34

Explanation:

Purchase Price = $55.20

Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28

Capital Loss = $12.62

Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28

Dividend = $2.34

Investing $1,500,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 1.7% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,290,917. Assuming similar sales next year, the 1.7% increase in demand will provide $2,775,946 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.1%, after direct costs this revenue will add $946,598 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $1,500,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month

Answers

Answer:

Payback = 19 month

Explanation:

Firm has invested in TQM's Channel Support systems of $1,500,000, It will increase demand of product by 1.7%.

Last years sales revenue was $163,290,917, a 1.7% increase will mean the sales will be:

= $163,290,917 * (1+0.017)

= $163,290,917 * (1.017)

= $166,066,862.59

Thus increase in sales revenue is:

= $166,066,862.589 - $163,290,917

= $2,775,945.589

Now consider contribution margin. From Total Sales, direct variable costs are deducted to get total contribution. The Overall contribution margin is It is 34.1%.

So extra contribution due to 1.7% increase in sales is = $2,775,945.589 * 34.1%

= $946,597.45

Thus increase in contribution margin will also increase profit to the same extent as there is no addition in fixed cost due to this project. So firm will be able to recover $946,597.45 of initial investment of $1,500,000 in one year.

Pay back is the time required to recover this full initial investment. It ascertained by dividing $1,500,000 amount by the net addition in profit per year.

Payback = $1,500,000 / $946,597.45

Payback = 1.585 per year * 12 month

Payback = 19.02 month

Payback = 19 month approximately

Answers

Answer:

$18.60

Explanation:

Calculation for the price-earnings ratio

Using this formula

Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price per Share/ Earnings per share

The Earnings per share will be Net Income/(Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding)

Let plug in the formula

Price-Earnings Ratio = $93 / ($925,000 / 185,000)

Price-Earnings Ratio=$93/5

Price-Earnings Ratio=$18.60

Therefore the price-earnings ratio will be $18.60

c. $1,080,000.

d. $1,200,000.




Answers

Answer:

$1,020,000

Explanation:

Tracy company has 4,000 out of the 10,000 outstanding shares the common stock of Penn corporation

Penn earns $450,000 during 2018

They make a cash dividend payment of $150,000

The beginning balance in the investment is 900,000

Therefore, the balance at December 31, 2018 can be calculated as follows

= $900,000 + ($450,000×0.4)-($150,000×0.4)

= $900,000+$180,000-$60,000

= $1,080,000-$60,000

= $1,020,000

Hence the balance at December 31st, 2018 is $1,020,000

If a bank has required reserves of $27,000,000, excess reserves of $41,000,000, and deposits of $90,000,000 with a required reserve ratio of 30 percent, how much can the bank lend out?

Answers

Answer:

$41,000,000

Explanation:

Excess reserves can be described as the amount of money that is kept by a bank. This amount of money can be given out to individuals or different organisations in the form of a loan, this is done to generate more profits as a certain amount of interest is being added to the amount of cash that will be given out.

In the scenario described above, the bank has an excess reserve of $41,000,000. Therefore, the bank will be willing to lend out $41,000,000 as loan.

Which of the following is a plausible explanation for the difference between the net change in fund balances of governmental funds (fund-level statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances) and the change in net position of governmental activities (government-wide statement of activities)?

a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
b. Amounts reported as expenditures in the statement of activities are reported as capital assets in the fund-level statements.
c. Debt proceeds provide current financial resources in the statement of activities, but are reported as long-term liabilities in the fund-level statements
d. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not reported as an expense in the statement of activities, but it is reported as an expense in the fund-level

Answers

Answer:

a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.

Explanation:

Governments maintain a statement of activities that are carried out, and fund-level statements are also maintained to track expenses of government.

When there is a disparity between the two, a plausible explanation will be that some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.

For example some long term project that is carried out by the government may be treated by creating a budget. These expenses will not be recognized in the current expenses that make up fund-level expenses.

Discount factor is 0.985. Stock XYZ is selling for $40 a share. An American option on this stock with a strike price of $38 is trading at $0.25 per share. If it is known that this option is priced above its intrinsic value, what type of option is it?

Answers

Answer:

Put option

Explanation:

We have current price 40dollars - strike price 38dollars = $2. The question says the stock is trading at $0.25 per share. Since 0.25 is higher than 0 it is a put option. And the intrinsic value is $2.

The put option gives one the right to sell a particular number of shares at a price that has been set which is referred to as the strike price before a certain date.
