Since the city of Williamsburg decided to defease old 6% bonds carried in its electric enterprise fund with new 4.5% bonds, then it should be noted that it was only the interest rate that changed, but there wasn't any bonds that were sold. Therefore, the loss should not be recognized.
River co. just paid a dividend of $2 per share out of earnings of $4 per share. If its book value per share is $25 and its stock is currently selling for $40 per share, calculate the required rate of return on the stock.
Answer:
13.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required rate of return on the stock.
First step
g = (1 - 0.5)(4/25)
g = 0.08*100
g = 8%
Now let determine the required rate of return
r = [(2 * 1.08)/40] + 0.08
r= 13.4%
Therefore the required rate of return on the stock is 13.4%

Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $38 a share. It just paid a dividend of $1.5 a share (i.e., D0 = $1.5). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year.
Required:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
b. What is the required rate of return?
Answer:
b 6.87%
a 56.53
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
38 = (1.5 x 1.04) / (r - 0.04)
38 (r - 0.04) = 1.092
r - 0,04 = 0.0287
r = 6.87%
1.5 x (1.04^2) / 6.87 - 4 = 56.53
Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now
Answer:
$814.10
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now
Using this formula
Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value
Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t
Let plug in the formula
Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)
Bond price= $814.10
Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10

Renee paid $4,000 in mortgage interest on a $110,000 mortgage that was taken out when she bought her home several years ago. She also has a home equity loan of $130,000 that she used to pay for a cruise around the world. The interest on the home equity loan was $8,000. What amount is deductible as interest expense for Renee in 2021
Answer:
The amount that is deductible as interest expense for Renee in 2021 is:
= $4,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Home mortgage - $110,000
Interest on home mortgage = $4,000
Home equity loan for a cruise around the world = $130,000
Interest on the home equity loan = $8,000
Deductible interest expense for Renee in 2021 is $4,000
b) Usually, the interest expenses that a taxpayer pays on her home equity loan to enjoy a cruise around the world, on personal credit card, on automobile loan, and on other types of personal consumer finance interests are not tax-deductible.
Jiminy’s Cricket Farm issued a bond with 25 years to maturity and a semiannual coupon rate of 4 percent 3 years ago. The bond currently sells for 108 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 22 percent.
Answer:
Pretax cost of debt = 3.48%
Aftertax cost of debt = 2.71%
Explanation:
Missing word "What is the pretax cost of debt and aftertax cost of debt"
Coupon rate = 4%
YTM = 22
Nper = YTM*2 = 44
PMT = 1000*4%/2 = 20
FV = 1000
PV = 1080
Rate = rate(nper, pmt, -pv, fv)
Rate = rate(44, 20, -1080, 1000)
Rate = 0.0174
Rate = 1.74%
Pretax cost of debt = Rate * 2
Pretax cost of debt = 1.74% * 2
Pretax cost of debt = 3.48%
Aftertax cost of debt = [3.48% * (1 - 0.22)]
Aftertax cost of debt = 3.48% * 0.78
Aftertax cost of debt = 0.0348 * 0.78
Aftertax cost of debt = 0.027144
Aftertax cost of debt = 2.71%

A. Group depreciation rate 17.197%
Group life 5.02 years
Depreciation for 2016 $5,675
B. 2019
Dr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $2,700
Cr Cash $2,700
2019
Dr Accumulated Depreciation $1,300
Dr Cash $200
Cr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $1,500
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016
Assets Original Residual Depreciation Estimated Depreciation
Cost Value Cost Life-Years per year-SLM
Stoves $15,000-$3,000= $12,000 6 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)
Refrigerators $10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)
Dishwashers $8,000-$500=$7,500 4 $1,875
($7,500/4=$1,875)
Total $33,000 $4,500 $28,500 $5,675
Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula
Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost
Let plug in the formula
Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100
Group depreciation rate= 17.197%
Calculation for Group life using this formula
Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year
Let plug in the formula
Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675
Group life = 5.02 years
Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula
Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197
Depreciation for 2016= $5,675
Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675
B. Preparation of the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.

The lease agreement requires Frost to pay Ananz two annual lease payments of $8,000. The present value of the minimum lease payments is $13,000. Which of the following circumstances would require Frost to classify and account for the arrangement as a finance lease?
a. Frost does not have the option of purchasing the computers at the end of the lease term.
b. The fair value of the computers on January 1, year 1 is $14,000.
c. The economic life of the computers is three years.
d. Ownership of the computers remains with Ananz throughout the lease term and after the lease ends.
Answer:
Frost (Lessee) and Ananz (Lessor)
The circumstance that would require Frost to classify and account for the arrangement as a finance lease is:
c. The economic life of the computers is three years.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Annual lease payments = $8,000
Present value of the minimum lease payments = $13,000
Fair value of the computer = $14,000
The economic life of the computers = 3 years
The lease period = 2 years
b) One of the conditions for classifying the lease arrangement as a finance lease is that the lease term of 2 years forms a significant part of the asset's useful life of 3 years. Other conditions include:
Firstly, ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The second condition is that the lessee can purchase the asset below its fair value.
One potential advantage of financing corporations through the use of bonds rather than common stock is: ______________
a. the corporation must pay the bonds at maturity
b. the interest on bonds must be paid when due
c. a higher earning per share is guaranteed for existing common shareholders
d. the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.
Answer:
d. the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.
Explanation:
Corporate finance can be regarded as division of finance which handles the way corporations deal with activities such as investment decisions as well as funding sources and capital structuring. Corporate finance primarily deals with maximization of shareholder value by the use of long and short-term financial planning as well as implementation of various strategies. financing of corporations could be through the use of bonds as well as use of common stock.
There are different advantages that is associated to issuing bonds instead of issuing shares of common stock, is that Interest that comes on bonds as well as other debt is deductible as regards to the income tax return of the corporation while the dividends that comes on common stock are not regarded as deductible on the income tax return. It should be noted that One potential advantage of financing corporations through the use of bonds rather than common stock is the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.
It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?
Answer:
Earned Value Management (EVM)
The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.
Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.
Explanation:
Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance. Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.
Most labor economists believe that the supply of labor is a. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. b. more elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. c. more elastic than the demand, and, therefore, workers bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. d. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, workers bear most of the burden of the payroll tax.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
The supply of labour usually exceeds the demand for labour. So, the supply of labour is less elastic. as a result workers bear the burden of tax
Economists in general believe that supply of labor is a. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax.
Why is the supply of labor less elastic?Even when employees change the amount they pay people, there will still be others who don't mind working at the new rate.
Supply of labor therefore doesn't change much when rates are changed. This allows employers to pass on payroll tax easily to workers.
In conclusion, option A is correct.

Princess Cruise Company (PCC) purchased a ship from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry. PCC owes Mitsubishi Heavy Industry 500 million yen in one year. The current spot rate is 124 yen per dollar and the one-year forward rate is 110 yen per dollar. The annual interest rate is 5% in Japan and 8% in the U.S. PCC can also buy a one-year call option on yen at the strike price of $.0081 per yen for a premium of .014 cents per yen.
Required:
a. Compute the future dollar costs of meeting this obligation using the money market and forward hedges.
b. Assuming that the forward exchange rate is the best predictor of the future spot rate, compute the expected future dollar cost of meeting this obligation when the option hedge is used.
c. At what future spot rate do you think PCC may be indifferent between the option and forward hedge?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
In the case of forwarding hedge:
The future dollar cost will be = FX receiveable ÷ Foward exchange rate
= 500 million yen ÷ 110 yen/dollar
= $4.55 million
For money market hedge:
Present value of yen payable = [tex]500 \ yen \div (1+ \dfrac{5}{100})[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{500 \ yen }{1.06}[/tex]
= 476.20 million yen
PCC would convert dollars to yens at the spot market rate and borrow yen such that it would get 500 million yen at maturity(i.e after one year) for Mitsubishi to receive it.
Dollars needed to get these yen = 476.30 yen ÷ 124 yen/dollar
= $3.84 million
Future Value of these dollars (for comparison with the foward market hedge) = $3.84 × (1 + 0.08)
= $4.15 million
Hence, the money market hedge is better as the dollar cost is lower than the forward market hedge to meet the obligation.
b)
On the maturity date, the spot rate is 110 yen/dollar
Ad the strike price = 0.0081 /dollar
It is better for the company to go for the strike price due to the fact that it has a lower rate than the spot rate.
Now;
The premium amount = 500000000 yen × 0.014 dollar / yen
= 70000 dollars
However; the Future dollar-cost payable = 500000000 yen × 0.0081 dollar /yen
= 4050000 dollars
By applying option hedge, the total dollar cost required to meet the obligation = (4050000 + 70000) dollars
= 4120000 dollars
c)
The dollar cost needed from the option hedge required to matching the forward hedge is determined by subtracting it from the premium amount:
Thus;
for option hedge, dollar cost needed = (4550000 - 70000) dollars
= 4480000 dollars
The required future spot rate = 500000000/4480000
= 111.61 yen/dollar
As a result, at the future spot rate of 111.61 yen/dollar, PCC will be unconcerned about and indifferent about the option or forward hedge because the future dollar cost of meeting the obligation will be the same.

Then there was James Oglethorpe of Georgia who wanted to found a home for the "worthy poor" of England so that they would have a chance to make something of themselves.
he following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output 4.2 meters Standard price $ 18.40 per meter The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 7,200 meters Actual cost of materials purchased $ 138,600 Actual materials used in production 6,700 meters Actual output 1,550 units. What is the materials price variance for the month?
a. $3,658 U
b. $7,700 U
c. $11,770 U
d. $6,120 U
Answer:
d. $6,120 U
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the materials price variance for the month
Using this formula
Materials price variance = (AQ × AP) – (AQ × SP)
Let plug in the formula
Materials price variance = $138,600 – (7,200 meters × $18.40 per meter)
Materials price variance = $138,600 – $132,480
Materials price variance = $6,120 U
Therefore Materials price variance is $6,120 U
At an activity level of 6,000 units the cost for maintenance is $7,200 and at 10,000 units the cost for maintenance is $11,600. Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is: Group of answer choices
Answer:
y = $1.10x + $600
Explanation:
Step 1 : Variable Cost calculation
Variable Cost = ($11,600 - $7,200) ÷ (10,000 - 6,000)
= $1.10
Step 2 : Fixed Cost calculation
Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
hence,
Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost
= $11,600 - (10,000 x $1.10)
= $600
Step 3 : Cost formula for maintenance
Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
therefore,
y = $1.10x + $600
where,
y = Total cost
x = Activity level
Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is : y = $1.10x + $600
Fort Thomas Living is a small publishing company located in the Northern Kentucky. Recently, Fort Thomas Living has contracted with several different local writers to publish various magazines and short-story books. Once such transaction involves an exchange of $10,200. Another transaction involves an exchange of $9,600? Are both of these exchanges of money subject to the disclosure requirements of the Money Laundering Control Act?
Answer: No
Explanation:
The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 which was passed to curb the effects of large scale money laundering at the federal level, only requires that transactions above $10,000 be disclosed.
There is a transaction here that is only to the tune of $9,600 so this will not be disclosed as it is less than the $10,000 threshold. The other transaction of $10,200 will however, be disclosed.

From the standpoint of the issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is that Group of answer choices bond interest is deductible for tax purposes. interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings. income to stockholders may increase as a result of trading on the equity. the bondholders do not have voting rights.
Answer:
interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
The disadvantages of bonds are listed below as;
1. Bonds can decrease a person's return on equity.
2. Bonds require a payment of the principal amount.
3. Bonds typically require a payment of periodic interest.
Generally, most bonds with shorter maturity time respond less dramatically to changes in interest rates when compared to bonds having longer maturity. Thus, the risk associated with short bonds isn't really significant because their interest rates are less likely to change substantially within that short period of time unlike bonds with longer maturity.
Hence, regardless of the earnings by bondholders, interest must be paid on a periodic basis on a long-term bond.

Answer: $121554
Explanation:
Lease liability = $140,000
Less: Lease liability in 1st year= $8784
Lease payable after one year = $131216
Less: Lease liability in 2nd year = $9662.40
Lease payable after 2nd year = $121553.60 = $121554
Note:
Lease liability in 1st year:
= $22,784 - (10% × $140000)
= $22784 - $14000
= $8784
Lease liability in 2nd year:
= $22784 - (10% × $131216)
= $22784 - $13121.60
= $9662.40
Assume that the CAPM is a good description of stock price returns. The market expected return is 8% with 12% volatility and the risk-free rate is 3%. New news arrives that does not change any of these numbers, but it does change the expected returns of the following stocks:
Stock Expected Return Volatility Beta
Taggart Transcontinental 8% 28% 1.2
Rearden Metal 13% 40% 1.7
Wyatt Oil 7% 20% 0.8
Nielson Motors 10% 32% 1.3
The expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to:_______
A) -3%
B) -1%
C) 1%
D) 3%
E) 0%
Answer:
b. -1%
Explanation:
Expected Alpha = E[rs] - [rf+ B(rm- rf)]. Where rf+ B(rm- rf) is the CAPM return, rf= risk free return, B = Beta of security, rm= return of market, E[rs]= Expected return of security
Expected Alpha = 8% - [3%+1.2*(8%-3%)
Expected Alpha = 8% - 9%
Expected Alpha = -1%
So, the expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to -1%.
