Answer 1

Answer:

geometric mean return = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = 1.21%

Explanation:

Year            Price            Dividend              Yearly return

1                  $43.37                 -                            0

2                 $48.35            $0.60                      1.24%

5                 $52.27            $0.85                       1.63%

6                  $61.35            $0.93                       1.52%

geometric mean return = [(1 + 0) x (1 + 0.0124) x (1 + 0.011) x (1 + 0.0176) x (1 + 0.0163) x (1 + 0.0152)]¹/⁶ - 1 = 1.012 - 1 = 0.012 = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = (0% + 1.24% + 1.1% + 1.76% + 1.63% + 1.52%) / 6 = 7.25% / 6 = 1.21%

Willow Corporation had three employees. Two of the employees worked full-time and earned salaries of $25,000 each. The third employee worked only part-time and earned $3,000. The employer timely paid state unemployment tax equal to 5.4 percent of each employee's wages up to $7,000. How much FUTA tax is due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes?

Answers

Answer:

$102

Explanation:

FUTA tax due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes, can be calculated by deducting the Paid state unemployment tax by the FUTA tax.

DATA

Paid State Unemployment Tax = (7,000+7,000+3,000) x 5.4%

Paid State Unemployment Tax = $918

FUTA tax rate in 2019 = 6%

Solution

FUTA tax (6% x $17,000) = $1,020

FUTA tax due =  $1,020 - $918

FUTA tax due = $102

Rahman stock just paid a dividend of $3.00 per share. Future dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. What is the value of the stock if the required return is 12%

Answers

Answer:value of stock for the required return of 12 % =  $53

Explanation:

Given

current dividend just paid = $3.00

dividend to grow at constant rate of 6%

required rate of return =12%

to calculate the value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % , we use the dividend growth model which is  

Current price = dividend ( 1 + growth rate )/ (required rate -growth rate )

                        = 3 x (1+6%) / 12-6 = 3 x 1.06 /6% =3.18/0.06=  $53

Therefore  value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % ,=  $53

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?

Answers

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 rate

We 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%

Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%. What is revenue on 40 million units

Answers

Answer: 700 million

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%.

The revenue on 40 million units will be calculated as:

= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)

= 1,000,000,000 × 70%

= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7

= 700,000,000

The answer is 700 million.

The revenue on 40 million units is 700,000,000.

The calculation is as follows:

= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)

= 1,000,000,000 × 70%

= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7

= 700,000,000

Therefore we can conclude that The revenue on 40 million units is 700,000,000.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory is shown below:

There are 500 unit sold so according to that the cost of goods sold is

Jan 1        60 units         $66         $3,960

May 5      280 units       $69         $19,320

Nov 3       160 units      $74           $11,840

Cost of goods sold                        $35,120

Now the ending inventory is

Since there is a 70 ending inventory units i.e comes from

White Lion Homebuilders is considering investing in a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $475,000. To do so, it will have to issue new common stock and will incur a flotation cost of 2.00%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $595,000. The rate of return that White Lion expects to earn on its project (net of its flotation costs) is:___________.

Answers

Answer:

22.81%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

= (cash inflow ÷ total cost) - 1

where,

Cash inflow is $595,000

And, the total cost is

= $475,000 + $475,000 × 2%

= $475,000 + $9,500

= $484,500

So, the rate of return is

= ($595,000 ÷ $484,500) - 1

= 22.81%

Hence, the rate of return is 22.81%

As an American investor, you are trying to calculate the present value of a £25 million cash flow that will occur one year in the future. You know that the spot exchange rate is S= $1.9397/ £ and one-year forward rate is F= $1.9581/ £. You also know that the appropriate dollar cost of capital for this cash flow is 6.25% and that the appropriate pound cost of capital for this cash flow is 5.25%. a) What is the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a British investor, and what is the dollar equivalent of this amount? b) What is the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a U.S. investor who first converts the £25 million into dollars and then applies the dollar discount rate?

Answers

Answer:

1. Present value in pound=$23,752,969

Dollar equivalent=$46,073,634

2.Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$48,952,500

Present value in pound=$46,072,918

Explanation:

1a.Calculation for present value of the £25 million cash flow

Using this formula

Present value in pound =cash flow*(1/1+Cash flow cost of capital)^ One year in the future

Let plug in the formula

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*(1/1+0.0525)^1

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*(1/1.0525)^1

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*0.950119

Present value in pound=$23,752,969

1b.Calculation for the dollar equivalent of this amount

Using this formula

Dollar equivalent=Present value in pound*Spot exchange rate

Let plug in the formula

Dollar equivalent=$23,752,969*$1.9397

Dollar equivalent=$46,073,634

2a. Calculation for the Dollar equivalent for U.S investors

Using this formula

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=Cash flow*one-year forward rate

Let plug in the formula

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$25,000,000*$1.9581

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$48,952,500

2b. Calculation for the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a U.S. investor .

Using this formula

Present value in pound =Cash flow*(1/1+Cash flow cost of capital)^ One year in the future

Let plug in the formula

Present value in pound=$48,952,500*(1/1.0625)^1

Present value in pound=$48,952,500*0.941176

Present value in pound=$46,072,918

Therefore the Present value in pound for question 1 is $23,752,969 while the Dollar equivalent is $46,073,634.

The Dollar equivalent for U.S investors in question 2 is $48,952,500 while the Present value in pound is $46,072,918

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price

-0.75 = % change in quantity / 2%

-1.5 = % change in quantity

lets assume that 1,000 units of X were sold at $40 each, total revenue = $40,000

new total revenue = 985 x $40.80 = $40,188

revenue generated by good X will increase by 0.47%, from $40,000 to $40,188

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of Y / % change in price of X

-1.7 = % change quantity of Y / 2%

-3.4% = % change quantity of Y

lets assume that 1,000 units of Y were sold at $90 each, total revenue = $90,000

new total revenue = 966 x $91.80 = $88,678.80

revenue generated by good Y will decrease by -1.47%, from $90,000 to $88,678.80

has a target debt−equity ratio of 1.35. Its WACC is 8.3 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. If the company’s cost of equity is 14 percent, what is its pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter yo

Answers

Answer:

5.74%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity +  weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

weight of debt =  D / (D + E) = 1.35/ (1.35 + 1) = 0.574468 = 57.4468%

weight of equity = 100% - 57.4468% = 42.5532%

let x represent pretax cost of debt

8.1% = 0.425532 x 14% +( 0.574468x) x 0.65

8.1% = 0.373404x + 5.957448%

solve for x

x = 5.74%

c.

Answers

Answer:

Jacob purchased 10000 shares form Grebe corporation two years ago for $24000

last year Jacob received a non taxable stock dividend of 2000 shares from Grebe corporation

In the current year tax year Jacob sold all stock received as dividend that's 2000 shares for $18000

The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share

profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year

3. At an oral auction for a lamp, half of all bidders have a value of $50 and half have a value of $70. What is the expected winning bid if there are four bidders

Answers

Answer: $60

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that At an oral auction for a lamp, half of all bidders have a value of $50 and half have a value of $70.

The expected winning bid if there are four bidders goes thus:

Since there are four bidders, the probability that the winning bid is $50 is 1/2 and for $70, it's 1/2 as well based on the question.

The expected winning bid will now be:

= ($50 × 1/2) + ($70 × 1/2)

= ($50 × 0.5) + ($70 × 0.5)

= $25 + $35

= $60

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual hours 2,500 hours Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $29,590 Actual output 150 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours

Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour

Actual hours 2,500 hours

Actual output of 150 units

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 5.2*150= 780

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (780 - 2,500)*11.6

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable

At an output level of 415,400 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 2.00. The operating cash flow is $58,000 in this case. Ignore the essect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units

Answers

Answer:

the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units will be -0.0858  and - 0.0745 respectively.

Explanation:

From the given information:

the degree of operating the leverage at 415,400 units = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{operating \ \ income}}[/tex]

where contribution margin = 2 × 58000 =116000

If we assume that the sales price should be p and the variable cost  be q per unit .

Then, 415,400p - 415,400q = 116000

p - q = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{116000}{415400}}[/tex]

p - q = 0.279  at 415400 unit

Contribution margin = 415400 × 0.279

Contribution margin = 115896.6

The operating income = contribution margin - fixed expense

58000 = 115896.6 - fixed expense

fixed expense = 115896.6 - 58000

fixed expense = 57896.6

However, when the output level is 16400 unit,

the contribution margin = 16400(p-q)

the contribution margin =  16400(0.279)

the contribution margin = 4575.6

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{4575.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{-53321}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = -0.0858

when the output level is 14400 unit,

the contribution margin = 14400(p-q)

the contribution margin =  14400(0.279)

the contribution margin = 4017.6

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{4017.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{-53879}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = - 0.0745

​Half of all your potential customers would pay $10 for your product but the other half would only pay $8. You cannot tell them apart. Your marginal costs are $4. If you set the price at $10, the expected profit is:

Answers

Answer:

The expected profit is:

$5.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

Profit from customers paying $10 = $6 ($10 - $4)

Profit from customers paying $8 = $4 ($8 - $4)

Expected profit  from customers paying $10, = $6 x 0.5 = $3

Expected profit from customers paying $8, = $4 x 0.5 = $2

Total expected profit = $5.

The expected profit is the profit from customers paying $10 weighted with probability plus the weighted profit from customers paying $8.  Adding the expected profit from each class of customers gives the overall expected profit combined.

Answer:

Expected Profit is $4

Explanation:

Price = $8

Marginal Cost = $4

The formula to derive the expected profit is Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost------equ(1)

Using equation (1) and given information, expected profit is calculated as

Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost

Expected Profit = 8 - 4

Expected Profit = $4

Thus, the Expected Profit is $4
