Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
Geometric average return
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%

The question is incomplete. The complete question is,
If a corporation issues 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock for $9000, the journal entry would include a credit to:
A) Common Stock for $9000.
B) Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par—Common for $9000.
C) Common Stock for $10,000.
D) Retained Earnings for $10,000
Answer:
The common stock is credited for $10000. Thus option C is the correct answer
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of shares below par value will be,
Cash 9000 Dr
Paid in Cap in excess of par-Common stock 1000 Dr
Common stock 10000 Cr
Thus, the common stock is credited for the complete amount of $10000.
The cash received is $9000 and there is a shortage of $1000 which is adjusted by debited the paid in capital in excess of par account.

Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 50 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 35% of the $12 unit cost and that annual demand is about 235 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?
Answer:
ordering costs = $22.34
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)
D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 5050 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]
2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20
$10,500 = 2 x S x 235
S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34
To arrive at an accurate balance on a bank reconciliation statement, a credit memorandum from the bank for the collection of a note and interest should be
Answer:
Must be added to the book balance.
Explanation:
The correct treatment would be to add this value to book balance because the bank has increased our bank balance by the note and interest amount. This must be accounted for as increase in the book balance because we have borrowed money and also that yearly interest income was also added to our bank checking account.
Hence it must be added to cash book balance in order to reconcile with the bank balance.

The second issue has a face value of $45 million, a coupon rate of 5.9 percent, and sells for 104.9 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 11 years. The most recent dividend was $4.04 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 23 percent.
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 %
Best Foods, Inc. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10 percent. The company generates EBIT of $4,250 per year and has a tax rate of 35 percent. If the firm adds $10,000 of debt to its capital structure, what is the value of the levered firm?
Answer:
The value of the levered firm $31,125
Explanation:
Value of Firm is the value of present value of expected future earning. It is calculated by dividing the earning after tax by the cost of capital while considering that the business will operate for the foreseeable future time.
EBIT $4,250.00
Less
Interest $0.00
EBT $4,250.00
Tax 35% x 4250 $1,487.50
EAT $2,762.50
Cost of Capial 10%
Value of firm = EAT / Cost of Capital = $2,762.5 / 10% = $27,625
Debt after tax = $10,000 x ( 1 - 0.35 ) = $6,500
Value of Equity = Value of firm - Debt after tax = $27,625 - $6,500 = $21,125
Value of debt = $10,000
Value of levered Firm = $21,125 + $10,000 = $31,125
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.

C. decreases; falls
Explanation:
As we know that
The rise in taxes results in low disposable income for individuals that lowered the spending of the consumer also the consumer spending is an element of the aggregate demand so ultimately it declines that result the curve to shift leftward or downward
Due to this, the real GDP also falls, and the price level too
Hence, the correct option is c.
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.
Answer: Actual amount
Explanation:
Standard Costing deviates from traditional accounting in that it is not based on historical costs of a good. In standard cost accounting, the actual costs are put in place of standard costs and then the variance between the two will be recorded and used for analysis.
The debit to the Work in Process Inventory account under a standard cost accounting system will be the actual amount.
Moorcroft’s assistant controller suggested that Moorcroft hire a part time collector to encourage customers to pay more promptly and to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts. Sales are still 40% cash and 60% credit but the assistant controller predicted that this would cause credit sales to be collected 30% in the month of the sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 18% in the second month following sale; 2% are uncollectible.Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June. How did these changes impact cash collections?
Answer:
The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:
Month Sales
April $300,000
May $320,000
June $370,000
Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400
Total cash collections during June = $343,000
Since the cost of the part time collector is $1,000 per month, and the total uncollectible accounts reduce from 4% to 2%, which represents $7,400 for June's sales, I would recommend hiring the collector.
5. Suppose that a firm is in an industry which has a very rapid rate of growth (in sales and output), and is characterized by technological change and innovation. Firms attempt to maximize profits causing new firms to enter the industry attracted by profit potential. The result is that profits are competed away, leading to even greater innovation and change. Is there a limit to this continuous change
Answer:
If we use high tech industry as our subject here, I would say that there is no limit to continuous change. We can look at he last 45 years and ever since Steve Jobs developed the Apple I, PCs have continuously evolved into different products and their rate of technological evolution has currently increased. Any modern smartphone is hundreds of times more powerful than the first PCs, they are even more powerful than huge computers that existed back then. Currently high tech companies are trying to develop AI, and who knows what after. The only problem is that project lives tend to be very short, but that is part of the game. The profit margins of the firms that are successful are huge, just look at how Apple became the first company to be worth more than 2 trillions.

Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9%. The risk-free rate of return is 3.8% and General Motors has a beta of 1.4. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?
Options:
A) 16.4%
B) 17.2%
C) 14.8%
D) 15.6%
The question is now answered as followed:
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) can be described as a model that is employed to compute a theoretical required rate of an asset in order decide whether or not to add assets a portfolio of investment that is well-diversified.
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected return can be calculated using the following formula:
Expected return = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market ris premium) .......... (1)
Where;
Risk-free rate of return = 3.8%
Market risk premium = 9%

Expected return = 3.8% + (1.4 * 9%) = 16.40%
Therefore, the correct option is option A) 16.4%.
Barry Cuda is considering the purchase of the following Builtrite bond: $1000 par, 3 1/4% coupon rate, 10 year maturity that is currently selling for $940. If Barry purchases this bond, what would his approximate yield to maturity be?
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 3.97%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates the price of the bond to the present value of its future cash flow receivable from it.
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 3 1/4%= 32.5
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C- 32.5, Face Value - 1,000, P-940
YM = (32.5+ (1000-940)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 940) )
YM = 0.0397 × 100 = 3.97%
Yield to Maturity = 3.97%

Explanation:
Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.
Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?
Answer:
Price of bond= $75,075.58
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 the bond for Akers Company can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000
Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 = 5% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
3000 × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 = 37,386.63
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) = 37,688.95
Price of bond
Price of bond = 37,386.63 + 37,688.95 = 75,075.58
Price of bond= $75,075.58

Product V72 sells for $20 per unit as is, but if enhanced it can be sold for $25 per unit. The enhancement process will cost $52,000 for 12,000 units. If the 12,000 units of Product V72 are sold as is without further processing, the company:
Answer:
It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.
Explanation:
It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.
So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)
Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360
Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000
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
The following information pertains to J Company's outstanding stock for 2021:
Common stock, $1 par
Shares outstanding, 1/1/2021 10,000
2 for 1 stock split, 4/1/2021 10,000
Shares issued, 7/1/2021 5,000
Preferred stock, $100 par, 7% cumulative
Shares outstanding, 1/1/2021 4,000
What is the number of shares J should use to calculate 2018 basic earnings per share?
a. 20,000.
b. 22,500.
c. 25,000 .
d. 27,000.
Answer: b. 22,500
Explanation:
J should use the total number of outstanding common stock at end of year to calculate 2018 basic earnings.
As a result of the Stock-split, the shares are split into 2 for 1.
There were 10,000 shares split so;
= 10,000 * 2
= 20,000
On the 1st of July, 5,000 shares were issued. This means that up till December 2021, the stock was outstanding for 6 months.
This will reflected by;
= 5,000 * 6/12
= 2,500 shares
Total shares = 20,000 + 2,500
= 22,500 shares
The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate
Answer:
Explanation:
The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.
Hence,
Par Value = $800
Face Value = $1,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
Since the interest is semi annual
i = 8% / 2 = 4%
CF = $15.34
Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%
If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?
Explanation:
Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs FoundationPsychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.Hope it will help you.I would answer some questions honestly but if there are some questions which i can't tell the truth i will tell some lies. because if u really like this job and don't want to loose it, it's ok to give wrong answers just for once! That's my opinion. :p. But be careful u might get in trouble if they find out ur lying!
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:
Task Performance time(minutes) Predecessor
A 8 -
B 10 A
C 8 A,B
D 10 B,C
E 8 C
F 4 D,E
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]
= 12
The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4
= 48
[tex]The minimum number = \frac{48}{12} \\\\= 4[/tex]
The efficiency of the assembly line
[tex]\frac{48}{5*60} \\\\= 0.8\\\\0.8*100 = \\\\80percent[/tex]

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%
In Year 1 Jorge buys a home for $200,000, making a down payment of $40,000 and taking out a loan from the bank for $160,000 to finance the balance. In Year 5 the remaining loan balance is $130,000 while the home has increased in value to $270,000. Jorge refinances with a loan company that agrees to lend 125% of the value of the home, or $337,500, using $130,000 to repay the bank loan and providing $207,500 in cash. Jorge immediately spends $10,000 of the cash on a lavish vacation to the Bahamas, and $20,000 to pay down credit cards.
How much of the $337,500 home equity loan balance is allowable for calculating the home mortgage interest deduction on Jorge’s Year 5 tax return?
a. $270,000
b. $240,000
c. $230,000
d. $220,000
Answer:
Under current tax law, no option is correct. Before 2018, option C would have been right.
Explanation:
Currently under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025) you can only deduct interests on mortgages used to purchase, build or improve your home. In this case, Jorge will only be able to deduct the interests paid on the $130,000 he owed for the first mortgage.
Interests on home equity loans will again be deductible (up to $100,000) starting Jan. 2026.
