Amos Manufacturing has two major departments. Management wants to compare their relative performance. Information related to the two departments is as follows:Division 1:Sales: $200,000Expenses: $150,000Asset investment: $950,000Division 2:Sales: $45,000Expenses: $35,000Asset investment: $200,000Based on ROI, which division is more profitable?a. Division 1b. Both divisions have the same ROI ratioc. Division 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Explanation:

Return on Investment is the proportion of operating assets that an investment center earned as as net operating income.

ROI is measure of the returned earned by a division relative to the amount invested in the assets used to generate the return.

It is calculated as follows

ROI = operating income/operating assets

Division A

Net operating income = Sales - expenses

Net operating income = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000

Operating assets = 950,000

ROI = 50,000/950,000× 100 = 5.26 %

Division B

Net operating income = 45,000 - 35,000 = 10,000

Operating assets = 200,000

ROI = 10,000/ 200,000 × 100 = 5 %

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Answers

The question is incomplete:

If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.

a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than one job.

b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

d. The future is even more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

The poverty trap is a situation in which having more income results on losing benefits. In this case, the poverty trap is more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have a salary but this results on her having additional expenses that she would not have if she was not working and this decreases the benefits she gets by having a job. Because of that, the answer is that her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

The other options are not right because she won't have an incentive to work more than one job because that would increase expenses like child care, the family won't be better as a result of the additional expenses and because of that, the future won't be more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

In economics, the poverty trap refers to certain circumstances that make it very difficult for a poor person to become middle or upper class, or increase their income even if they continue to fall under the poverty line.

Imagine a situation where you work for a very low salary, and besides that, you must spend a large portion of your salary paying for transportation and childcare costs. The gains resulting from your work will decrease compared to a situation where you worked in a business that was located at a walking distance and childcare services were provided for free. The economic equation is simple, the higher the costs, the less the profit.

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. Adviser A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5, and adviser B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which adviser was the better stock picker

Answers

Answer:

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Adviser A's excess return = 3%

Adviser B's excess return = 0.04%  

Explanation:

To compare the performance of the two stock advisers, we first need to determine the required or expected rate of return of both the portfolios.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the expected rate of return for each portfolio.

The equation for CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

Adviser A

r = 0.05 + 1.5 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.17 or 17%

The required rate of return of Adviser A's portfolio was 17% while his portfolio yielded a return of 20% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 20 - 17 = 3%

Adviser B

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

The required rate of return of Adviser B's portfolio was 14.6% while his portfolio yielded a return of 15% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 15 - 14.6 = 0.04%

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Debt financing has one important advantage that the early Modigliani and Miller (MM) propositions ignored: the interest on business debt is tax deductible. This benefit means that the amount of taxes that a business is required to
pay will be reduced by a phenomenon called an interest tax shield, which is a function of the amount of debt in the firm's capital structure and its tax rate. In contrast, the dividends that a corporation pays on its common and
preferred shares are not tax deductible.

Consider the case of Green Llama Foodstuffs, Inc.:

At the beginning of the year, Blue Chipmunk Foodstuffs, Inc. had an unlevered value of $8,500,000. It pays federal and state taxes at the marginal rate of 40%, and currently has $2,500,000 in debt capital in its capital structure.

According to MM Proposition I with taxes, Green Llama Foodstuffs is allowed to recognize a tax shield of ___________, and the levered value of the firm is:

a. $7,100,000
b. $12,500,000
c. $9,900,000
d. $4,500,000

Answers

Answer:

c. $9,500,000

Explanation:

Un-levered value = $8,500,000

Tax= 40% = 0.4

Debt capital= $2,500,000

Tax shield = Debt capital * Tax

Tax shield = $2,500,000 * 0.4

Tax shield = $1,000,000

Levered value = Unlevered value + Tax shield

Levered value = $8,500,000 + $1,000,000

Levered value = $9,500,000

According to CAPM :

expected stock yield =risk free rate + (beta x market yield)

6% + 1.5 x market yield = 18%

18% - 6% = 1.5market yield

solving for market yield gives

Rossdale Co. stock currently sells for $72.87 per share and has a beta of 1.22. The market risk premium is 7.10 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.90 percent annually. The company just paid a dividend of $4.29 per share, which it has pledged to increase at an annual rate of 3.45 percent indefinitely. What is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Equity =11.56%

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM  

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22

E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562  %

Cost of Equity =11.56%

June finds an ad on Craigslist for a used car at a price she is willing to pay in cash. She emails the seller and offers to pay $200 extra more the asking price. She asks the seller to call her immediately to work out a deal. The seller calls June and they orally agree that June will pay $5200 for the car. June is to drop by sellers house in two days with cash in hand. They do not sign a formal agreement or otherwise follow-up by email or any other writing. The next day, another buyer offers seller $5500 for the car. Seller calls June to tell her that he will sell the car to the other buyer unless she can match the price. She tells him that they already have an agreement, and refuses. June receives an email from seller later that day. The email states:

Hey:
I spoke with my cousin, who is an attorney. He stated that I do not have to sell you my car because we didn’t sign anything, so it is not enforceable. Sorry our deal did not work out.
Cheers!

Required:
Can June still enforce the agreement, or is it unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds? Discuss.

Answers

Answer:

The Statute of Frauds requires that any contract involving the sale of goods worth more than $500 must be in writing and signed by all the participating parties.

In this case, the seller is right. Since there is no written and signed contract, then there is no contract at all. All that June has is an oral contract that cannot be enforced.

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

Answers

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 %

American corporations vary in numerous and varied degrees from corporations of other countries. For example, in Japan, the government limits the highest wages a corporate officer may receive based as a multiple of what the lowest wage earner in the corporation receives. At one point, the highest paid employee of a Japanese corporation could receive only sixty (60) times the wage of the lowest paid employee of the corporation. Is this a wise regulation, or does this somehow limit the competitiveness of Japanese corporations

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

The wage restrictions would limit the competition of Japanese firms as the Executive Directors will be under under-paid and they will looking for jobs else where. This demotivation due to low pays would affect the competition of Japanese firms as the employee's productivity will also be lowered. The employees rather they are of Executive Level or they belong to lower level, they must be paid according to their performance. Their might be a fixed portion and a performance based portion which would erge the employee to work hard.

During the current year, Chudrick Corporation expects to produce 10,000 units and has budgeted the following: net income $300,000, variable costs $1,100,000, and fixed costs $100,000. It has invested assets of $1,500,000. The company’s budgeted ROI was 20%. What was its budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach?

Answers

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

For the computation of budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach first we need to find out the profit expected and total cost which is shown below:-

Profit Expected = $1,500,000 × 20%

= $300,000

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

= $1,100,000 + $100,000

= $12,00,000

Budgeted Markup Percentage = Profit ÷ Total Cost

= $300,000 ÷ $12,00,000

= 25%

Answers

Answer:

365.15 units

Explanation:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]

where,

Annual demand is

= 30 units × 300 days

= 90,000 units

ordering cost is $50

Carrying cost is

= $45 × 15%

= $6.75

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the economic order quantity is

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{90,000}\times \text{\$50}}{\text{\$6.75}}}[/tex]

= 365.15 units

We simply applied the above formula so that the EOQ could come

Jenny Corp. needs to raise $53 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $29.00 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $925,000. How many shares need to be sold?

Answers

Answer:

2,010,252 Shares

Explanation:

The funds that are to be raised = $53,000,000

Spread = 7.5%

Share price = $29.00

Flotation cost with issue = 925,000

We have that:

(53000000+925000)/92.5 * 100

(539,250,000/92.5)x100

= $58297.973 x 100

= $58297297.3

The offer per share is placed at $29.00

So to get the number of shares sold:

$58297297.3 / $29.00

= 2,010,252 shares are to be sold.

C. Minimum lease payment less the amortization of the related asset.

D. Minimum lease payment less the portion of the minimum lease payment allocable to interest.

Answer:  

The correct choice is D.

Explanation:

The present value of the minimum lease payments is the lease payable. The total amount of lease payable is diminished by the percentage of the lease payment chargeable to the lease owed.

This amount is the lease payment minus the interest on the payment. Therefore, the liability is reduced by the minimum lease paid in each period minus the portion of the payment allocable to interest.

A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. % is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the yield to maturity rises to 6% from the current yield to maturity of 4.5%

Answers

Answer:

12.38% decrease

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

6%

Number of years = 12

Market yield I= 6 === 4.5

Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59

PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)

Future value = 1000

Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238

Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,

The percentage change in the price of this bond will be -12.38%.

The price of the bond at 4.5% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 4.50%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 4.5% = $1045.59

The price of the bond at 6.0% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 6.00%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 6.0% = $916.16

The percentage change in price will be:

= (916.16 - 1045.59) / 1045.59

= -12.38%
