Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of 1.23. The market risk premium is 7.00 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.86 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

the company's cost of equity is 11.47 %.

Explanation:

The Company`s cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks.

The Cost can be determined using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as follows :

Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Rate + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio

                       = 2.86 % + 1.23 × 7.00 %

                       = 11.47 %.

An aircraft company has an order to refurbish the interiors of 18 jet aircraft. The work has a learning curve percentage of 80. On the basis of experience with similar jobs, the industrial engineering department estimates that the first plane will require 300 hours to refurbish. Estimate the amount of time needed to complete:

a. The fifth plane
b. The first five planes
c. All 18 planes

Answers

Answer:

a. 125.43 hours

b. 767.92 hours

c. 2,129.04 hours

Explanation:

Using the mathematical approach, we have :

y = ax ^b

Where ,

y is the average time to manufacture x units

a is the time its takes to manufacture first plane

b is the log of 80% divided by log 2

Then,

Average time for 5 planes = 300 (5)^-0.322

                                            = 178.67 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 178.67 hours × 5

                                      = 893.35

Average time for 4 planes = 300 (4)^-0.322

                                            = 191.98 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 191.98 hours × 4

                                      = 767.92 hours

The fifth plane would take =  893.35 - 767.92

                                            =  125.43 hours

Average time for the 18 planes = 300(18)^-0.322

                                                    = 118,28 hours

Total time for 18 planes = 118,28 hours × 18

                                       = 2,129.04 hours

Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio __________ and a long position in portfolio _________. Multiple Choice A;A A;B B;B B;A

Answers

Answer: A;B

Explanation:

Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio A and a long position in portfolio B.

You should take a short position in the Portfolio with a lower risk premium and a long position on the Portfolio with a higher risk premium.

Using the single factor APT, the formula for risk premium can be derived from;

E(r) = Rf + beta (Risk premium on factor)

Portfolio A

19% = 11% + 1.7 * Risk premium

1.7 * risk premium = 8%

Risk Premium = 4.7%

Portfolio B

15% = 11% + 0.6 * RP

0.6 * RP = 4%

RP = 6.67%

Portfolio A Risk premium is lower so it should be shorted.

Portfolio B Risk premium is higher so it should taken a long position in.

Explanation:

international strategy can be defined simply as the means or strategy by  which a firm sells its goods and services outside its domestic market. they helps by  enabling firms to leverage their home-based core competencies in foreign markets.

A multinational enterprise (MNE)  can be said to be a company that deploys resources and capabilities in the procurement, production, and distribution of goods and services in at least two countries and it can only pursue international strategy if only when it enjoys a large domestic market, strong reputation, and brand name. exchange rate fluctuations affects MNE pursuit of international strategy.

A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $62,258.56

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 = $400,000

cash inflow year 1 = $100,000

cash inflow year 2 = $200,000

cash inflow year 3 = $300,000

discount rate = 12%

using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56

if you do it by hand:

NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56

In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed−time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor costs are forcing Taylor Industries to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such as shortage costs. Here is a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items.
ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE

a. What would you recommend Taylor do to cut back its labor cost? (Illustrate using an ABC plan.)
b. Item 15 is critical to continued operations. How would you recommend it beclassified?

Answers

Answer:

a) Taylor Industries can successfully cut back its labor cost in inventory stockrooms by counting only high-value items.  These items are determined by reference to their Annual Usage values.  The items' annual usage values should be used as the activity cost pool for accumulating and allocating labor cost in inventory stockrooms.  Taylor Industries can establish a benchmark or cutoff point so that only the items meeting this benchmark are counted.  For example, the items with annual usage value above $5,000 should be included in the items to be counted.  This strategy will reduce the number of items to be counted and therefore the labor cost.

b) Since item 15 is critical to Taylor Industries' continued operations, it should be classified as a direct materials cost and not an overhead cost.

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate

Answers

Answer: b) Project B

Explanation:

Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.

Project A

Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback

= Time 1 + Time 2

= 4,000 + 3,000

= $7,000

This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.

= 2 + 3,000/10,000

= 2.3 Times

Project B

= Time 1 + Time 2

= 3,000 + 2,000

= $5,000

At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.

Under the principles of agency law, any sale of goods by a salesperson in a store to a customer can be binding on the owner of the store. True False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Under Agency Law in relation to employment, the salesperson is acting as an agent of the owner of the store and as such is their representative. As their representative, it is assumed that whatever they are selling is from the Owner whom they represent and as such can be binding on the owner.

This is why the Agent must act in the best interest of the owner because the owner could be held negligent for the actions of their agents. For instance, a salesperson will not be sued for a faulty equipment that caused harm but the store can.

In his 1935 book, Harold Laswell described politics as "Who Gets What When How." The American concept of pluralism, or group politics, includes all of the following except _________________.

A) placing others into decision-making positions.

B) removing inefficient or ineffective representatives.

C) casting one's ballot on Election Day.

D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.

Answers

Answer:

D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.

Explanation:

Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.

The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.

Duerr company makes a $73,000, 90-day, 10% cash loan to Ryan Co. The maturity value of the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)

Answers

Answer: $74,825

Explanation:

Maturity value is the amount that a borrower will pay to the lender when the loan matures.

Based on the above analysis, the interest will be:

= $73,000 × 10% × 90/360

= $73,000 × 0.1 × 0.25

= $1825

Maturity value will now be the addition of the principal and the interest. This will be:

= $73,000 + $1825

= $74,825

If the effective annual rate of interest is known to be 16.08% on a debt that has quarterly payments, what is the annual percentage rate?

Answers

Answer:

15.19%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the annual percentage rate is shown below:-

Annual percentage rate = (1 + APR ÷ n^n) -1)

Now we will put the values into the above formula to reach the annual percentage rate

= ((1.1608) × 0.25 - 1) × 4

= 0.1519

or

= 15.19%

Therefore for computing the annual percentage rate we simply applied the above formula.

The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $2.90 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.75 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $49.40 per share, what is the required return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

10.6%

Explanation:

Calculation for the required return

Using this formula

Required return=(Dividend payment/Stock per share)+Anticipated growth rate

Let plug in the formula

Required return =($2.90 per share/$49.40 per share)+0.0475

Required return=0.05870+0.0475

Required return =0.106*100

Required return =10.6%

Therefore the Required return will be 10.6%

Answers

Answer:

a. Harry will recognize $0.

b. Sally will also recognize $0.

c. By selling the equipment to an unrelated party and by contributing $150,000 to the partnership instead.

d. Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000

f. Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000

g. Total assets = Total Capital = $330,000

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sorted before answering the questions as follows:

Harry:                                                      Basis             Fair Market Value

Cash                                                     $30,000                   $30,000

Land                                                      100,000                  120,000  

Totals                                                  $130,000                $150,000

Sally:

Equipment used in a business           200,000                    150,000

Totals                                                $200,000                  $150,000

The explanations to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. How much gain or loss will Harry recognize on the contribution?

Harry will recognize $0 because he did not have any debt relief.

The reason is that gain on property contributed by a partner to a partnership will be recognized only when the debt relief they seemed to have received is greater than their basis in the partnership before the distribution.

Since Harry did not have any debt relief, he will therefore recognize $0.

b. How much gain or loss will Sally recognize on the contribution?

Sally will also recognize $0.

It is possible that when partners contributes property to a partnership, loss may not be recognized even if they have debt relief. Therefore, it not in all cases that loss are recognized.

c. How could the transaction be structured a different way to get a better result for Sally?

This transaction could be structured differently if Sally decides to sell the equipment to an unrelated party and then make a cash contribution of $150,000 to the partnership instead of contributing the equipment. As a result of this, it will be possible for Sally to recognize the built-in loss on the equipment by selling it.

d. What is Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest?

The basis of Harry in his partnership interest can be obtained by adding his contribution of cash and land to the partnership as follows:

Harry's tax basis = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000.

Therefore, Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. What is Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest?

This is simply the amount of her contribution of $200,000 basis in the equipment.

Therefore, Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000.

f. What is Evergreen's tax basis in its assets?

This can be calculated by adding the Harry's basis in cash and land of $30,000 and $100,000 respectively together with Sally's basis in equipment of $200,000 as follows:

Evergreen's tax basis in its assets = $30,000 + $100,000 + $200,000 = $330,000

Therefore, Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000.

e. Prepare a tax basis balance sheet for the Evergreen partnership showing the tax basis capital accounts for the partners.

This can be prepared as follows:

The required investment cost of a​ new, large shopping center is ​$49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be ​$20 million​ (the value of the​ land). The​ project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be ​$14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15​% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile​ venture?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.

Explanation:

Let the minimum annual revenue = X

Therefore,

The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows

X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)

Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.

X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)

X(5.847) = 130.858

X = 130.858 / 5.847

X = 22.38 millions

The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

A company is considering expanding their production capabilities with a new machine that costs $38,000 and has a projected lifespan of 8 years . They estimate the increased production will provide a constant $5,000 per year of additional income . Money can earn 1.7% per year, compounded continuously . Should the company buy the machine

Answers

Answer:

the company should  not buy the machine.

Explanation:

Given that:

cost of the new machine = $38000

lifespan = 8 years

constant income = 5,000

Interest = 1.7%

no of days  = 365

The value of earning at the time of buying can be calculated as follows:

[tex]= \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^8}+ \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^7}+\dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^6}+...+ \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^0}[/tex]

[tex]= 5000 \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{(1.017)^8}+ \dfrac{1}{(1.017)^8}+\dfrac{1}{(1.017)^6}+...+ 1} \end {pmatrix}[/tex]

Sum of a Geometric progression [tex]S=a \dfrac{(r^n -1)}{(r-1)}[/tex]

[tex]S=(\dfrac{1}{1.017})^8 \dfrac{((1.017)^9 -1)}{(1.017-1)}[/tex]

[tex]S= \dfrac{((1.017)^9 -1)}{ (1.017)^8(0.017)}[/tex]

S = 8.4211

The value of earning at the time of buying = (5000 × 8.4211)-$5000

The value of earning at the time of buying = $42105.5 -$5000

The value of earning at the time of buying = $37105.5

The Machine price = $38000

If the value - Machine price > 0, then the company should  buy the machine

= $ 37105.5 - $38000

= -$ 894.5

Since the value is negative which is less than zero, then the company should  not buy the machine.

The company should not buy the machine since it earns a negative NPV of $894.25.

Data and Calculations:

Cost of machine in present value = $38,000

Projected lifespan = 8 years

Additional annual income = $5,000

Compound interest rate = 1.7%

Present value annuity factor for 1.7% for 8 years = 0.13475

Present value of annual income = $37,105.75 ($5,000/0.13475)

Answers

Answer:

the labor efficiency variance for the month is $23,256 Favorable.

Explanation:

Labor efficiency variance = (Aq × SP) - (Sq × Sp)

                                          =  (7,600 × $13.60) - ((950 × 9.8) × $13.60)

                                          =  (7,600 × $13.60) - (9.310 × $13.60)

                                          = $23,256 Favorable

Jamie has worked for ABC Printing for 5 years. During this period ABC Printing has contributed $25,000 to her non-contributory retirement plan. Assuming ABC uses graded schedule vesting, how much will Jamie be able to roll into an IRA if she left ABC Printing after 5 years?

Answers

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

Generally a graded vesting schedule lasts 6 years. After the first 2 years, the employee is entitled to 20% of accrued benefits (in this case contributions to her retirement plan). Then, the employee will be vested an additional 20% of the contribution benefits per year until the sixth year when 100% of the benefits are vested.

In this case, Jamie would be able to roll out $25,000 x 80% = $20,000

End of year                 % vested

2                                        20%

3                                        40%

Suppose that when your income increases by $300, your consumption expenditures increases by $240.
Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is _________ .
If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be ______________ .
Thus, a $4 million investment project would increase income by $ _________ million in total.

Answers

Answer:

The MPC is 0.8

The multiplier or k is 5

The increase in income would be $20 million.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 240 / 300

MPC = 0.8 or 80%

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.8)

k = 5

So, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be 5.

To calculate the increase in income, we will multiply the investment amount by the expenditure multiplier.

Income increase = 4000000 * 5

Income increase = $20000000 or 20 million

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in sales dollars:

Unit sales 51,600 Units
Dollar sales $516,000
Fixed costs $206,000
Variable costs $193,500
$206,000.

$116,500.

$186,400.

$329,600.

$516,000.

Answers

Answer:

$329,600

Explanation:

The computation of break-even point is shown below:-

But before that first we need to compute the following calculations

Total contribution margin ratio = Sales - Variable cost

= $516,000 - $193,500

= $322,500

Contribution margin in percentage = Total Contribution Margin ÷ Total Sales

= $322,500 ÷ $516,000

= 62.50%

Now,

Break-even point = Total fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin in percentage

= $206,000 ÷ 62.50%

= $329,600
