Consider the case of Purple Panda Pharmaceuticals: Next year, Purple Panda is expected to earn an EBIT of $2,000,000, and to pay a federal-plus-state tax rate of 30%. It also expects to make $500,000 in new capital expenditures to support this level of business activity, as well as $35,000 in additional net operating working capital (NOWC). Given these expectations, it is reasonable to conclude that next year Purple Panda will generate an annual free cash flow (FCF) of (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Purple Panda Pharmaceuticals

Annual Free Cash Flow (FCF):

FCF = Sales Revenue - (Operating costs + Taxes) - Required investments in operating capital or net operating profit after taxes - net investment in operating capital =

Net Income =              $1,400,000

additional NOWC =           35,000

Capital expenditures =  500,000

FCF = $865,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

EBIT = $2,000,000

Tax = 30% or $600,000

Net Income =              $1,400,000

additional NOWC =           35,000

Capital expenditures =  500,000

FCF = $865,000

Purple Panda Pharmaceuticals' Free Cash Flow shows what is available for distribution to security holders after the payment of taxes.  Purple Panda will use the information from its Free Cash Flow to judge if a project will pay off and generate enough cash flow so that shareholders' value will be enhanced.

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2200 units, the actual direct labor cost was $65600 for 4100 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is

Answers

Answer:

400 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of total direct labor variance is presented below:-

Total direct labor variance = (Standard rate - Standard hours) × (Actual rate - Actual hours)

= ($15 × (2 × 2,200)) - $65,600

= ($15 × 4,400) - $65,600

= $66,000 - $65,600

= 400 favorable

Therefore for determining the total direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula.

After the initial offering, the bonds are trading in the secondary market at 105, while the stock is trading at $10. Which statements are TRUE?

Answers

Answer:

B I and IV

Explanation:

Each bond could be transformed into common stock at $10.50 par value. So the bond should be equivalent to the 95 shares that comes from

= $1,000 ÷ $10.50 per share

= 95 shares

Currently price of the bond is $1,050

Now each share price is

= $1,050 ÷ 95 shares

= $11.05

As the common stock is traded at $10 that represents the stock is less than parity and therefore there is no means to transform the shares

hence, B option is correct

Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor 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 advisor was the better stock picker?

Answers

Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

this is for advisor A.

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% for advisor b

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

Therefore advisor a is better

What is the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity?
A. $1,000
B. $866
C. $500
D. $200

Answers

Answer:

b. $866

Explanation:

Annual demand from the question = D = $500

the ordering cost = S = $200

then the cost of carrying H = $15

we have to calculate the economic order quantity

= sqr(2*D*S)/H

= sqr(2 x 500 x 200)/25

= sqr(13333.3333)

this equals 115.469

which is approximately 115.5

next we have to calculate inventory ordering cost

= (D * S)/EOQ

= 200 *500/115.5

= 865.5

When approximated becomes $866

The inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

First step is to calculate the Economic order quantity

Economic order quantity =√(2×D×S)/H

Where:

D=Annual demand=$500

S=Ordering cost=$200

H=Holding cost =$15

Let plug in the formula

Economic order quantity =(2 x 500 x 200)/15

Economic order quantity =√200,000/15

Economic order quantity =√13333.3333

Economic order quantity =115.46

Economic order quantity = 115.5 (Approximately)

Second step is to calculate the inventory ordering cost using this formula

Inventory ordering cost= (Annual demand× Ordering cost )/Economic order quantity  

Let plug in the formula

Inventory ordering cost= (200×500)/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=100,000/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=$865.8

Inventory ordering cost=$866 (Approximately)

Inconclusion the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ

The shares are bought at $60 in a margin account

Two days after the price of XYZ drops to $40

The first step is to calculate the current market value

= 1,000 shares×$40

= $40,000

Therefore, the minimum maintenance margin requirement can be calculated as follows

= 25/100 × current market value

= 25/100 × 40,000

= 0.25×40,000

= $10,000

Hence the minimum maintenance margin requirement is $10,000

Gretta's portfolio consists of $700,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.2 and $300,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a. The required return on the market is 10%.
b. The portfolio's required return is less than 11%.
c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
d. If the market risk premium remains unchanged but expected inflation increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
e. If the stock market is efficient, Gretta's portfolio's expected return should equal.

Answers

Answer: c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

Explanation:

To prove the above option, the Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used.

Required Return = Risk free rate + portfolio beta(market premium)

Portfolio Beta

This the weighted average of the individual betas.

Total portfolio value = 700,000 + 300,000 = $1,000,000

= ( 1.2 * 700,000/1,000,000) + ( 0.8 * 300,000/1,000,000)

= 0.84 + 0.24

= 1.08

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5%)

= 6% + 5.4%

= 11.4%

Assuming risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%.

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5% + 2%)

= 6% + 7.56%

= 13.56%

The change in required return

= (13.56% - 11.4%)/11.4%

= 18.9%

Proving that if the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

Answers

Answer:

Expected profit = $298.75 million

Explanation:

To calculate the expected return or expected profits, we will simply multiply the probability of each event by the return expected in that event and take a sum the answers. Thus, the expected profit can be calculated as follows,

Expected profit = Probability of recession ending * Profit if recession ends + Probability of recession not ending * profit or loss if recession does not end

Answer:

Direct material= $340

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor $540

Beginning work in process inventory $330

Ending work in process inventory $420

Cost of goods manufactured $1620

Manufacturing overhead $830

To calculate the direct material used in production, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

1,620= 330 + DM + 540 + 830 - 420

Direct material= $340

Bezco Toy Company actually produced 4,850 units during June.Required:Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity:

Direct materials (pounds)= 50,000/4= 12,500 pounds

Direct materials (pounds)= 12,500/5,000= 2.5 pounds per unit

Direct labor (hours)= 36,000/18= 2,000 hours

Direct labor (hours)= 2,000/5,000= 0.4 hours

Actual quantity:

Actual direct materials= (49,600/4)= 9,920 pounds

Actual direct labor= 34,020/18= 1,890 hours

Production= 4,850

To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

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

Standard quantity= 2.5*4,850= 12,125

Direct material quantity variance= (12,125 - 9,920)*4

Direct material quantity variance= $8,820 favorable

To calculate the direct labor time variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 0.4*4,850= 1,940

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,940 - 1,890)*18

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $900 favorable

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the additional expenditure on consumption by consumer as a result of an in national income.

That is, MPC is a measure of the proportion or percentage of the additional income that goes consumption expenditure.

MPC can be calculated using the following formula

MPC = ΔC / ΔY ......................................... (1)

Where;

ΔC = Change in consumption = New consumption - Old consumption = $1,168 - $800 = $368

ΔY = Change in income = New income - Old income = $1,400 - $1,000 = $400

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MPC = $368 / $400 = 0.92, or 92%

Therefore, the marginal propensity to consume is 92 percent.

Answer:

Journal entries are given below

Explanation:

July 1, Year 1 (Yellow Rose Corp. purchased a machine)

                                            DEBIT      CREDIT

Machine                            $28,000  

Cash                                                     $28,000

Working

Cost of machine = Purchase price + Sales tax + Installation

Cost of machine =  $25,000 + $2,000 + $1,000

Cost of machine =   $28,000

Depreciation for year 1 (October to December)

                                                       DEBIT      CREDIT

Depreciation Expenses                $1,300  

Accumulated Depreciation                             $1,300

Working

Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - salvage value) / useful life

Annual Depreciation expense = (28000 - 2000) / 5 = $5,200

Depreciation for 3 months

Depreciation = $5,200 x 3/12

Depreciation = $1300

Sale of the machine

                                                       DEBIT      CREDIT

Cash                                        $14,000  

Loss on Sale                                 $7,500  

Accumulated Depreciation         $6,500  

Machinery                                                       $28,000

Workng

Gain/Loss on sale = Sale proceed - carrying value

Gain/Loss on sale = 14,000 - 21,500

Loss on sale = $7,500

Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Carrying value = 28,000 - 6500 = 21500

Accumulated depreciation = $1,300 + $5,200 = $6,500

Mangum Co. is a large company that segments its business into cost and profit centers. The Cost center for the manufacture of Product M2T incurred the following costs in October:
Direct Labor: $25/unit
Direct Materials: $80/unit
Variable Overhead: $15/unit
Traceable Fixed Costs: $62,000
Common Fixed Costs: $100,000
Sales were 2,000 units in October. Each unit sells for $210. The M2T Department is being evaluated on overall profitability. In September, the department margin was $100,000. By how much did the department margin increase or decrease in October?
a. $100,000 decrease
b. $118,000 increase
c. $18,000 increase
d. $82,000 decrease

Answers

Answer: c. $18,000 increase

Explanation:

Department margin was $100,000 in September.

October Margin = Sales - Variable Costs - Traceable Fixed Costs

= (2,000 *( 210 - 25 - 80 - 15) ) - 62,000

= (2,000 * 90) - 62,000

= $118,000

= October Margin - September Margin

= 118,000 - 100,000

= $18,000 increase

Gabriel Industries stock has a beta of 1.12. The company just paid a dividend of $1.15, and the dividends are expected to grow at 4 percent. The expected return on the market is 11.4 percent, and Treasury bills are yielding 3.8 percent. The most recent stock price is $85. (a) Calculate the cost of equity using the dividend growth model method. (b) Calculate the cost of equity using the SML method. (c) Why do you think your estimates in (a) and (b) are so different?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of cost of equity using the dividend growth model method is shown below:-

Expected Dividend = Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)

= $1.15 × (1.04)

= $1.196

Current Stock Price = $85

Cost of Equity =  (Expected dividend ÷ Current stock price) + growth rate

= (1.196 ÷ 85) + 0.04

= 0.05407

or

= 5.41 %

b. The computation of cost of equity using the SML method is shown below:-

Using CAPM, Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta × (Market return - Risk free rate)

= 3.8 + 1.12 × (11.4 - 3.8)

= 12.31%

c. Since there are two different methods like SML and dividend growth model for determining the cost of equity so the estimates are so different

Average Rate of Return
Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $148,500 over five years, has a cost of $300,000, and has a $30,000 residual value.
%

Answers

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the accounting rate of return is shown below:

= Average net income ÷ average investment

where,  

Average net income is

= Total income ÷ number of years

= $148,500 ÷ 5 years

= $29,700

And, the average investment would be

= (Cost - salvage value) ÷ 2

= ($300,000 - $30,000) ÷ 2

= $270,000 ÷ 2

= $135,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $29,700 ÷ $135,000

= 22%

Just in time can be understood as a strategic system that fundamentally seeks to achieve continuous improvement of processes by reducing costs and waste.

Its principles are total quality management, respect for people and just in time manufacturing.

In this strategy, the focus is that all activities must be carried out at the exact time, that is, eliminating any waste such as raw material, stock, production, etc., which eliminates costs and reduces failures, increasing all processes organizational changes that guarantee an increase in total quality.

The principle of respect for people is also given by the flexibility that this system gives to employees, by the management of total quality that gives a more dynamic work that guarantees the greatest engagement of employees.

In a transport company, the Just in time system would be effective if it were integrated into all operational areas of the company, involving all work hierarchies.

It would also be essential to have changes in internal policies to ensure that processes are improved in order to eliminate waste, which would require adequate training of employees, the implementation of control technologies, the adoption of a more effective and faster value chain , etc., in order to eliminate waste and increase total quality.
