Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;
Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)
9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)
6% = beta * 5.5%
beta = 6%/5.5%
beta = 1.09
A common stock pays an annual dividend per share of $1.80. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the risk premium for this stock is 4%. If the annual dividend is expected to remain at $1.80 per share, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketBeta * rpM is the risk premium on stockr = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20
Joe must pay liabilities of 1,000 due 6 months from now and another 1,000 due one year from now. There are two available investments: \,1. Bond I: a 6-month bond with face amount of 1,000, a 8% nominal annual coupon rate convertible semiannually, and a 6% nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually; and \,2. Bond II: a one year bond with face amount of 1,000, a 5% nominal annual coupon rate convertible semiannually, and a 7% nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually Calculate the amount of each bond Joe should purchase in order to exactly match the liabilities.
Answer:
future liabilities:
$1,000 in 6 months
$1,000 in 1 year
Present value of bond I (due in 6 months):
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3%) = $970.87
Present value of bond II (due in 1 year):
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)² = $933.51
The price of the bonds is determined by the annual yield rate (YTM), not the coupon rate. Joe will pay $970.87 for bond I and $933.51 for bond II.

Tyler Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit. Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000 Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800 Selling and Administrative costs $186,000 $202,200 The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is: Group of answer choices $230,020 $51,410 $146,810 $32,330
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800
First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:
unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Finally, the total contribution margin:
total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020
The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.
Total Contribution Margin
To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:
Selling price $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume 5,000, & 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800
To find the value of Total Contribution margin:
Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.
Hence, option A is correct.

A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.
Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?
Answer:
5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150
Explanation:
Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.
Price of fish = $5 per pound.
There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.
For 1 boat
Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000
Cost = $500
Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500
Profit = $500.
For 2 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500
Profit of each boat = $450.
For 3 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500
Profit of each boat = $375
For 4 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500
Profit of each boat = $275
For 5 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500
Profit of each boat = $150.
Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.
Which of the following is a plausible explanation for the difference between the net change in fund balances of governmental funds (fund-level statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances) and the change in net position of governmental activities (government-wide statement of activities)?
a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
b. Amounts reported as expenditures in the statement of activities are reported as capital assets in the fund-level statements.
c. Debt proceeds provide current financial resources in the statement of activities, but are reported as long-term liabilities in the fund-level statements
d. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not reported as an expense in the statement of activities, but it is reported as an expense in the fund-level
Answer:
a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
Explanation:
Governments maintain a statement of activities that are carried out, and fund-level statements are also maintained to track expenses of government.
When there is a disparity between the two, a plausible explanation will be that some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
For example some long term project that is carried out by the government may be treated by creating a budget. These expenses will not be recognized in the current expenses that make up fund-level expenses.

What is the annual real estate tax on a property valued at $135,000 and assessed for tax purposes at $47,250, with an equalization factor of 125%, when the tax rate is 25 mills
Answer:
$1,477
Explanation:
The annual real estate tax = assessed tax × equalization factor × tax rate
= $47,250 × 125% × 25 mills
= $47,250 × 125% × 2.5%(25 mills)
= $47,250 × 1.25 × 0.025
= $1,477
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.
An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
Project Beta IRR
W .85 8.9%
X .92 10.8
Y 1.09 12.8
Z 1.35 13.3
The T-bill rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market is 11 percent.
a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
Answer:
Projects Y and Z
b. Projects W and Z
c. Projects W and Y
Explanation:
CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%
X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%
Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%
Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%
Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%
b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR
c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR
Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR
A company is considering a project with a beta of 0.5 while the company’s beta is 2.0. How should the company adjust its WACC to reflect the riskiness of the project? g
Answer: decrease
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is a vital calculation that is used in finance to know whether the return on an investment will meet or exceed exceed a project or an asset.
If a company is considering a project with a beta of 0.5 while the company’s beta is 2.0, to reflect the riskiness of the project, the WACC will be reduced.
Handbags, Inc. had 200 units of inventory on hand at the end of the year. These were recorded at a cost of $18 each using the last−in, first−out (LIFO) method. The current replacement cost is $16 per unit. The selling price charged by Handbags, Inc. for each finished product is $27. In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower−of−cost−or−market rule, the Cost of Goods Sold will be ________.
Answer:
debited by $400
Explanation:
Inventory on hand at the beginning × each inventory cost
= 200 units × $18
= $3,600
Inventory on hand at the beginning × Current replacement cost
= 200 units × $16 per unit
= $3,200
Therefore;
$3,600 - $3,200 = $400 increase of cost of goods sold which is debit.

Y = Current price at year end / Price index at that time
Step 2
Ending inventory = Opening inventory value + ( Y - Opening inventory value ) × Index value.
Gross corporation
Ending inventory
2016 1,100,000
1. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2017, under dollar value LIFO
= 1,284,000 / 1.07
= $1,200,000
Ending inventory
= $1,100,000 + ( $1,100,000 - $100,000 ) × 1.07
= $1,207,000
2. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2018, under dollar value LIFO
= $1,450,000/1.25
= $1,160,000
Ending inventory
= $1,100,000 + ( $1,160,000 - $1,100,000) × 1.07
= $1,164,200
3. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2019, under dollar value LIFO
= $1,625,500/1.30
= $1,250,385
Ending inventory
= $1,164,200 + $90,385 × 1.30
= $1,281,701
g A decrease in the basis will __________ a long hedge and __________ a short hedger. Group of answer choices hurt; hurt hurt; benefit benefit; have no effect upon benefit; benefit benefit; hurt
Answer:
1. hurt
2. benefit
Explanation:
Given that a contract and an asset are to be converted in cash early, this implies that, basis risk exists and futures price and spot price should not move in lockstep before delivery date. However, a reduction in the basis will then hurt the long hedger and benefit the short hedger.
Hence, considering the nature of the hypothetical situation, a decrease in the basis will HURT a long hedge and BENEFIT a short hedge.
A company sold equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000 cash. The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000. The company should recognize a:
Answer:
$0 gain/loss
Explanation:
A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000
The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000
The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment
Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation
= $290,000-$145,000
= $145,000
Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows
= Selling price-book value
= $145,000-$145,000
= 0
Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment
Answer:
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Explanation:
The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.
Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value
The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.
Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date
Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000
Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

Which of the following stocks is less risky? Stock Average Return Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation X 10% 40% 4 Y 20% 40% 2
Answer:
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation is a statistical model which is also used to determine the volatility per unit of a factor. In terms of a stock, the coefficient of variation calculates the volatility of its return. It is calculated by dividing the stock's standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the stock's mean return or expected return.
CV = SD / r
Where,
CV is coefficient of variationSD is standard deviationr is expected returnThe CV of a stock tells us the risk per unit of return. The higher the CV, the riskier the stock and vice versa.
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
