An investor buys a $1,000 par TIPS security with 3 years to maturity, a semiannual coupon, and a 4.25% coupon rate. If inflation over the next 6 months is 2.50%, what will be the first coupon payment that the TIPS investor will receive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,184.34

Explanation:

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * (1+2.50%) ^ (3*2)

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.025^6

Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.159693

Adjusted face value = $1,159.693

Final payment = Coupon + Adjusted principal

= 1,159.693 * (4.25%/2) + 1,159.693

= 1,159.693 * 0.02125 + 1,159.693

= 24.6435 + 1,159.693

= 1,184.3365

= $1,184.34

If I currently sell 10,000 units, and my use of Formula 1 indicates that I will need to sell 500 additional units to justify my suggested change to the marketing mix, what percentage of sales does that represent

Answers

Answer:

It represents a 5% change to the marketing mix.

Explanation:

The change = 500/10,000 x 100 = 5%.

Company A's change in a variable can be compared with another index, by expressing the change (addition) as a percentage of the index.  For instance, the sale of 10,000 units is an index.  The additional 500 units that is needed to be sold represent the change.  In percentage terms, the change can be divided by the index and then multiplied by 100.

You notice that​ Coca-Cola has a stock price of $41.86 and EPS of $1.88. Its competitor PepsiCo has EPS of $3.65. ​But, Jones​ Soda, a small batch​ Seattle-based soda producer has a​ P/E ratio of 34.2. Based on this​ information, what is one estimate of the value of a share of PepsiCo​ stock?

Answers

Answer:

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82

Explanation:

Stock price of Coca-cola = $41.86

EPS = $1.88

P/E ratio = MPS / EPS

P/E ratio = $41.86 / 1.88

P/E ratio = 22.27

Jones soda P/E ratio = 34.2

Pepsi Co stock EPS = $3.65

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = EPS * P/E ratio

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $3.65 * 22.27

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $81.2855

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82

The principle that each World Trade Organization member must accord to all other member countries tariff treatment no less favorable than it provides to any other country is known as the __________ principle.

Answers

Answer:

Most favoured nation principle

Explanation:

Most favoured nation (MFN) clause of the World Trade Organisation requires that when a nation trades with others the concessions, immunities, and privileges granted to one nation should be the the same granted to all WTO members.

It discourages discrimination where one nation in international trade is favoured above another.

For example if Ghana reduces tariff on trades with South Africa it is expected that tariffs to other WTO nations will also be reduced to 3%.

Exceptions to this principle are for developing nations, regional free trade areas, and custom unions.

The FI Corporation’s dividends per share are expected to grow indefinitely by 5% per year. a. If this year’s year-end dividend is $8 and the market capitalization rate is 10% per year, what must the current stock price be according to the DDM? b. If the expected earnings per share are $12, what is the implied value of the ROE on future investment opportunities? c. How much is the market paying per share for growth opportunities (i.e., for an ROE on future investments that exceeds the market capitalization rate)?

Answers

Answer:

a)

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

P₀ = current stock price = ?Div₁ = next dividend = $8Re = equity cost = 10%g = constant growth rate = 5%

P₀ = $8 / (10% - 5%) = $8 / 5% = $160

b)

EPS = $12

Return on equity (ROE) = g / b

b = retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - ($8/$12) = 0.333

g = 5%

ROE = 5% / 0.333 = 15%

c)

Present value of growth opportunity (PVGO) = P₀ - EPS/Re

P₀ = $160EPS = $12Re = 10%

PVGO = $160 - $12/10% = $160 - $120 = $40 per share

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio

Answers

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Answer:

In the United States, Monetary Policy is implemented by the - 4. Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve of the United States is in charge of implementing the Monetary Policy of the country. It is also in charge of regulating the financial industry, and acting as lender of the last result to prevent financial crisis.

3. Expansionary MonetaryPolicy - can be used to address a Recessionary Gap

During times of economic downturn, monetary policy tends to be expansionary: expanding the money supply to lower the interest rate, so that investment becomes cheaper, and the economy reactivates.

1. Contractionary Monetary Policy - can be used to address an Inflationary Gap.

When the money supply is too high, or has grown too fast, inflation often starts. For this reason, the fed usually implements contractionary monetary policy (less money supply, higher interest rate), in order to keep inflation from increasing.

c. To enact Contractionary Monetary Policy, the central bank will - sell bonds

When the fed sell bonds, it takes money from the market, reducing the money supply.

This - reduces - the amount of cash in the economy.

As explained above.

This will cause bond prices to - fall - and interest rates to - rise

The change in interest rates causes investment and consumption to - fall

shifting - Aggregate Demand

Contractionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to rise, making investment more expensive, and causing price hikes, this will reduce consumption.

This in turn will shift the Aggregate Demand curve to the left or inward.

4.$75,000

5.$100,000

Explanation:

Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas

1.Current Ratio  

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES

CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000

CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times

2. Working Capital

WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES

WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000

WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000

3. Acid ratio

ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES

ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000

ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times

4. Receivable turnover

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times

Working

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000

5. Inventory Turnover

INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY

INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000

INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times

Working

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2

How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?

Answers

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

Acme Company’s production budget for August is 17,600 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $7.70; direct labor, $10.10; variable overhead, $6.20. Budgeted fixed overhead is $33,000. Actual production in August was 18,810 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.50; direct labor, $9.10; variable overhead, $6.90. Actual fixed overhead was $34,600. The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound. During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

Required:
Calculate the materials price variance and materials usage variance for August.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual production in August was 18,810 units.

During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (0.7 - 0.5)*319,770

Direct material price variance= $63,954 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 18,810*11= 206,910

Direct material quantity variance= (206,910 - 319,770)*0.7

Direct material quantity variance= $79,002 unfavorable

ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.


Requried:

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

Answers

Answer:

ABC Co. and XYZ Co.

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50

Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50

Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)

Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $53,000/$475,000 x 100

= 11.16%

Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $29,250/$237,500 x 100

= 12.32%

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%

WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt

= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%

= 0.0558 + 0.05

= 0.1058

= 10.58%

Explanation:

ABC:

Equity = $475,000

Expected EBIT = $53,000

Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%

XYZ:

Equity = $237,500

Debt = $237,500

Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750

EBIT = $53,000

Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)

Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%

RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.

ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.

ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.

If Tex's Manufacturing Company purchases the component externally, $20,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. At what external price for the 100 units is the company indifferent between making or buying

Answers

Answer:

$210,000

Explanation:

The computation of the external price is shown below

Making cost =  buying  cost

$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)

$220,000 = External price + $10,000

So,

External price = 210,000

Hence, the same is to be considered

Therefore the external price is $210,000

A company with 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 48,828 shares at $13 per share. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $22 a share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend?

A. $43,563
B. $21,484
C. $7,812
D. $13,672

Answers

Answer:

$21,484

Explanation:

A company has 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par

The common stock was issued at 48,828 shares at the price of $13 for one share

The company made a 2% dividend declaration

= 2/100

= 0.02

The market price is $22 per share

Therefore, the amount that was transferred from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts can be calculated as follows

= 48,828 shares × 0.02 × $22

= $21,484

Hence the amount that was moved from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts as a result of stock dividend is $21,484

You short-sell 200 shares of Rock Creek Fly Fishing Co., now selling for $50 per share. You are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale. If your broker requires a 30% maintenance margin, at what price will you get a margin call? (Ignore interests and dividends)
a. $62.50
b. 57.69
c. 56.25
d. 37.50

Answers

Answer:

b. 57.69

Explanation:

Calculation for what price that you will get a margin call

First step

200 shares *$25 per share=$10,000

Second step

Based on the information given we are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale.

Now let find the 50% margin

50% margin =50%*$10,000

50% margin=$5,000

Hence,

$10,000+$5,000=$15,000

Third step

Based on the information given we were told that the broker requires a 30% maintenance margin.

.30=($10,000-200p)/200p

60p=$15,000-200p

260p= $15,000

Hence

$15,000/260

Price= $57.69

Therefore the price that you will get a margin call will be $57.69
