Company X, which is a chemical manufacturer, uses crude oil and buys it in the spot market on a monthly schedule. A crude oil swap is quoted by the dealer at $25. Which of the following statements is correct?a. The company should sell the swap to hedgeb. In a month when the spot price of oil is above $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter partyc. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party

Answers

Answer:

c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party

Explanation:

Since Company X uses crude oil, the company buys the swap to hedge in the swap market, so option A is not appropriate because it buys the swap, which pays the counterparty when the spot price falls below $ 25. so correct option is c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party

Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.

Answers

Answer:

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895

Explanation:

                                         materials          machine hours      profit

standard size                    0.125 kg              1/6                        $10

oversize                             0.4 kg                 1/5                        $15

constraints 80 kilograms of materials

40 hours of manufacturing

profit per machine hour:

standard size  $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)

oversize  $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

profit per kilogram of alloy:

standard size  $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)

oversize  $15 / .4  = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total manufacturing time = 40 hours

if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).

The Silverside Company is considering investing in two alternative​ projects: Project 1 Project 2 Investment ​$400,000 ​$280,000 Useful life​ (years) 5 5 Estimated annual net cash inflows for useful life ​$90,000 ​$65,000 Residual value ​$25,000 ​$12,000 Depreciation method Straight−line Straight−line Required rate of return ​10% ​6% What is the payback period for Project​ 1?

Answers

Answer:

The Silverside Company

Project 1's Payback Period

= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows

= $400,000 / $90,000

= 4.44 years.

Explanation:

Project 1:

Initial Investment = $400,000

Useful life = 5 years

Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000

The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1.  This is the simple payback period calculation.  There is also the discounted payback period calculation.  This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out.  This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.

Suppose you invest equal amounts in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 18% and a risk-free asset with an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.

The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;

= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)

= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)

= 8% + 2%

= 10%

Suppose annual inflation rates in the U.S. and Mexico are expected to be 6% and 80%, respectively, over the next several years. If the current spot rate for the Mexican peso is $.005, then the best estimate of the peso's spot value in 3 years is Group of answer choices $.00276 $.01190 $.00321 $.00102

Answers

Answer:

$.00102

Explanation:

The forward peso's spot value in 3 years can be computed using the below formula:

forward exchange rate=current spot rate*(1+US inflation)^3/(1+Mexican inflation)^3

current spot rate=$.005,

US inflation rate is 6%

Mexican inflation rate is 80%

forward exchange rate=$.005,*(1+6%)^3/(1+80%)^3

forward exchange rate(in 3 years)=$0.00102

Baldwin has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Buzz. Labor costs will go from $2.10 to $2.60 per unit. In addition, their material costs have fallen from $6.82 to $5.82. Assume all period costs as reported on Baldwin's Income Statement remain the same. If Baldwin were to pass on half the new costs of labor and half the savings in materials to customers by adjusting the price of their product, how many units of product Buzz would need to be sold next round to break even on the product

Answers

Answer:

433 units

Explanation:

Information related to production costs are missing, so I looked for it. I found the following:

current sales price = $17

current fixed costs = $7,242

new labor costs per unit = $2.60, which results in a $0.50 increase

new direct materials cost per unit = $5.82, which results in a $1 decrease

total variable costs per unit = $8.42

Baldwin plans to pass 50% of the changes in costs to its customers:

Increase $0.25 due to higher labor costsdecrease $0.50 due to lower materials costsnet change = -$0.25

new sales price = $17 - $0.25 = $16.75

contribution margin per unit = $16.75 - $8.42 = $8.33

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit = $7,242 / $16.75 = 432.36 = 433 units

Multiple Choice $516,751.56 $571,237.51 $1,026,395.85 $482,301.46 $550,008.71

Answer:

PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5  

Explanation:

The maximum initial investment amount to be paid is the present value of the series of the annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 7.6% per annum.

In other words,the maximum to be paid for the investment should be equal to the value today of the series of eight equal annual cash flow of $97,900 discounted at 7.6%

This is given in the relationship below:

PV of cash inflow = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )  

A- equal annual cash - 97,900. r-rate of return - 7.6%, n-number of years- 8

PV = 97,900 × ( 1 - (1+0.076)^(-8)/0.76)=  571,237.5  

PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5  

Eiffel Corporation is a 100-percent owned French subsidiary of Tower Corporation, a U.S. corporation. During the current year, Eiffel paid a dividend of €500,000 to Tower. Assume an exchange rate of €1 = $1.50. Withholding taxes of €2,500 were imposed on the dividend. The dividend is paid out of earnings and profits that have not been subject to the deemed dividend rules under subpart F or GILTI. Compute the tax consequences to Tower as a result of this dividend.

Answers

Answer:

Eiffel Corporation

Computation of the tax consequences to Tower:

Withholding tax = €2,500 x $1.50 = $3,750.00

Domestic Corporation tax =             156,712.50

Total tax consequence =              $160,462.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Computations:

Dividend =        €500,000

Withholding tax = €2,500

Net after w/tax = €497,500

Exchange rate = €1 = $1.50

Therefore, net dividend after withholding tax = €497,500 x $1.50

= $746,250

Corporation tax rate = 21% of $746,250

= $156,712.50

Tower will suffer a withholding tax burden of $3,750 when translated into dollars and a corporation tax on income totalling $156,712.50 based on the TCJA tax rate of 21% instead of the former 35%.

Disturbed Corp. needs to raise $57 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $23.70 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 $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?

Answers

Answer: 2653438 shares

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:

The share price will be:

= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)

= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)

= $23.70 × 0.925

= $21.9225

The money that will be raised will be:

= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000

= $58,170,000

The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:

= $58,170,000/$21.9225

= 2653438 shares

A company's gross profit (or gross margin) was $129,650 and its net sales were $502,900. Its gross margin ratio is

Answers

Answer:

25.8%

Explanation:

A company gross profit is $129,650

The net sales is $502,900

Therefore, the gross margin ratio can be calculated as follows

Gross margin ratio= gross margin /net sales

= $129,650/$502,900

= 0.258×100

= 25.8%

Hence the gross margin ratio is 25.8%

(1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment? (2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

Answers

Answer:

                                                     North     West           South

Contribution margin           $300,300 $499,000 $399,200

Controllable margin            $139,700 $360,600 $209,900

Average operating assets    $997,857 $1,567,826 $1,499,286

Minimum rate of return             13%            14%           9%

return on investment (ROI) = controllable margin / average operating assets

North's ROI = $139,700 / $997,857 = 14%

West's ROI = $360,600 / $1,567,826 = 23%

South's ROI = $209,900 / $1,499,286  = 14%

residual income = controllable margin - (average operating assets x minimum rate of return)

North's RI = $139,700 - ($997,857 x 13%) = $9,978.59

West's RI = $360,600 - ($1,567,826 x 14%) = $141,104.36

South's RI = $209,900 - ($1,499,286  x 9%) = $74,964.26

(1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

North and South divisions should probably make the additional investments since their current ROI is less than 16%

(2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

All the divisions since their minimum required rate of return is less than 16%.

The ROI of North, West and South are 14%, 23% and 14% respectively. North and south divisions need to make more investment as their ROI is less than 16%. All the division need to make investments.

What is ROI?

Return on Investment is the performance measure to evaluate the earnings or profit earned from an investment.It is the ration between the net profit/loss to the initial investment made.

B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.

Answers

Answer:

C. $385.7m

Explanation:

Enterprise value = Market value of equity + Market value of all types of debt - Cash in the balance sheet

Market value of equity = Current share price × number of shares outstanding

= $16 × 10.2 million shares

= $163,200,000

Market value of all types of shares = Market value of long term debt + Market value of current portion of long term debt + notes payable / short term debt

We assume that market value of debts = Book value of debts

Therefore,

Market value of debt = $227m + $40.7m + $10.9m

= $278.6 m

Cash in the balance sheet = $56.10 m

Therefore;

Enterprise value = $163.20m + $278.60 - $56.1

=$385.7 m

Explanation:

It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.

So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

The Business to Consumer (B2C) sales strategy corresponds to a type of sale aimed at the final consumer. This sale takes place at retail, and occurs according to the consumer purchase decision process, which identifies their needs, judges the options according to their preferences and desires and finally chooses the option that best suits their search for a particular product or service.

Therefore, in the B2C strategy, retail companies have as main objective to create in the consumer the desire for a purchase, so the most appropriate option for this issue is that developing attractive electronic markets will help the company to attract customers and sell products and services to consumers.

You purchased 500 shares of Barden Enterprises stock for $55.43 per share at the beginning of the year. The stock is currently priced at $57.48 per share. What is your dividend yield if you received total dividends of $835 over the year?

Answers

Answer:

Dividend yield is 2.91 %.

Explanation:

Dividend yield = Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price per Share × 100

where,

Annual Dividend per Share = Total Dividends ÷ Total Number of Shares

                                              = $835 ÷ 500

                                              = $1.67

then,

Dividend yield = $1.67 / $57.48 × 100

                        = 2.905 or 2.91 %

Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2018:

Allister Barone
Inventory $530,000 $330,000
Sales 1,060,000 860,000
Investment income not given
Cost of goods sold 530,000 430,000
Operating expenses 245,000 315,000

Allister acquired 70 percent of Barone in January 2017. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $70,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a 4-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2018, Barone sells inventory costing $126,000 to Allister for $172,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end. Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2018:

Amounts

Inventory
Sales
Cost of goods sold
Operating expenses
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of inventory, sales, cost of goods sold, Operating expenses  and Net income attributable to non-controlling interest  is shown below:-

But before that we need to determine the following calculations

Unrealized profit on inventory = ($172,000 - $126,000) × 10%

= $4,600

Customer list amortization = $70,000 ÷ 4

= $17,500

Inventory = $530,000 + $330,000 - $4,600

= $855,400

Sales = $1,060,000 + $860,000 - $172,000

= $1,748,000

Cost of goods sold = $530,000 + $430,000 + $4,600 - $172,000

= $792,600

Operating expenses = $245,000 + $315,000 + $17,500

= $577,500

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest = 10% × ($860,000 - $430,000 - $315,000 - $4,600 - $17,500)

= 10% × $92,900

= $9,290

Conner Manufacturing has two major divisions. Management wants to compare their relative performance. Information related to the two divisions is as follows:

Division 1:

Sales: $200,000
Expenses: $150,000
Asset investment: $950,000

Division 2:

Sales: $45,000
Expenses: $35,000
Asset investment: $200,000

Based on ROI, which division is more profitable?

a. Division 1
b. Both divisions have the same ROI ratio
c. Division 2

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Division 1 (a.)

Explanation:

Return on investment (ROI) is a financial ratio used to calculate the benefit earned on an investment cost.

Mathematically, it is represented as:

[tex]ROI = \frac{Net\ Income}{original\ cost\ of\ investment} \times 100[/tex]

where:

Net income = Sales - expenses

Original cost of investment = asset invested

Now let us calculate the ROI for each division:

Division 1 :

Net income = Sales - Expenses = 200,000 - 150,000 = $50,000

Asset investment = $950,000

[tex]ROI = \frac{50,000}{950,000} \times 100\ \\\\ROI = 5.26\%[/tex]

Division 2:

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

Asset investment = $200,000

[tex]ROI = \frac{10,000}{200,000} \times 100\\\\= ROI = 0.05\ \times\ 100\ = 5\%[/tex]

Therefore, based on the ROI for both divisions, Division 1 has a greater ROI (5.26%) than Division 2 (5%) hence, Division 1 is more profitable.

Answers

Answer:

Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

Explanation:

The average collection period can be described as how long it takes a company to get paid by the amount of money its clients are owing it in terms of accounts receivable (AR).

Average collection period can be calculated using the following formula:

ACP = (Accounts receivable / Net sales) * 365 days .............. (1)

Where, for this question;

ACP = Average collection period = ?

Accounts receivable = $70

Net sales = $2,870

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

ACP = ($70 / $2,870) * 365 days

ACP = 0.024390243902439 * 365 days

ACP = 8.90 days, or approximately 9 days

Therefore, Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

As assistant to the CFO of Boulder Inc., you must estimate the Year 1 cash flow for a project with the following data:

Sales revenues $13,000
Depreciation $4,000
Other operating costs $6,000
Tax rate 35.0%

What is the Year 1 cash flow?
a. $6,962
b. $5,950
c. $7,438
d. $5,177
e. $7,378

Answers

Answer:

$5,950

Explanation:

Boulder incorporation reported the following data for year 1

Sales revenue= $13,000

Depreciation= $4,000

Other operating costs= $6,000

Tax rate= 35%

The first step is to calculate the EBIT

= sales revenue-operating costs-depreciation

= $13,000-$6,000-$4,000

= $3,000

Therefore, the cash flow for year 1 can be calculated as follows

= 3,000×35/100

= 3,000×0.35

= 1,050

= 3,000-1,050

= 1,950

Cash flow= 4,000+1,950

= $5,950

Hence the cash flow for year 1 is $5,950
