Parks Corporation is considering an investment proposal in which a working capital investment of $10,000 would be required. The investment would provide cash inflows of $2,000 per year for six years. The working capital would be released for use elsewhere when the project is completed. If the company's discount rate is 10%, the investment's net present value is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Refer to Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
Answer:
$4,355.26
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $2,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $2,000 + 10,000 = 12,000
I = 10%
NPV = $4,355.26
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

In 2011, Starbucks terminated a contract with Kraft Foods that allowed Kraft to sell bagged Starbucks coffee in grocery stores. The early termination resulted in litigation between Kraft and Starbucks. After an arbitrator found in Kraft's favor, Starbucks recorded a liability for $2.8 billion.
Required:
This behavior is typical of many companies today. What is your opinion on the reasons companies behave this way? Is it realistic? Why or why not?
Answer:
Starbucks and Kraft Foods
The reasons companies terminate contracts before their expiration include impossibility of performance, material breaches of contract terms, misrepresentation, fraud, lack of capacity, mutual mistake, and frustration.
The reason for Starbucks' termination of the contract was "multiple material breaches." These were not established by the arbitrator, who delivered judgment in Kraft's favor.
It is not always realistic to terminate a long-standing contract without abiding by the contract termination terms because the damages and accruing interests that can be awarded against the terminating company may be too huge.
Explanation:
The "multiple material breaches" that Starbucks alleged against Kraft included the allegation that "Kraft did not always meet minimum advertising budgets or keep Starbucks involved in major initiatives." According to Starbucks, these violations eroded its "brand equity."
Determining opportunity cost
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a dress that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same dress, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $102 for the dress:
Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Dress
(Minutes) (Dollars per dress)
Local Department Store 15 102

according to investment digest (diversification and the risk/reward relationship, winter 1994, 1-3), the mean of the annual return for common stocks from 1926 to 1992 was 16.5% and the standard deviation of the annual return was 19%.what is the probability that the stock returns are greater than 17%.
Answer:
0.488
Explanation:
Mean annual return for common stocks = 16.5%
standard deviation of annual return = 19%
Determine the probability that the stock returns are greater than 17%
P ( Stock returns > 17% )
stock returns = x
= 1 - p ( x - μ / 6 < 17 - 16.5 / 19 )
∴ 1 - p ( Z < 0.03 )
= 1 - 0.5120 = 0.488

Present value $ b. 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years. Present value $ c. 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years. Present value $ d. 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years. Present value $
Answer:
(a) 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years is $2,503.32.
(b) 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years is $2,310.09.
(c) 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years is $3,283.75.
(d) 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years is $3,287.05
Explanation:
The Present Value is calculated by using:-
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
Here, r is the Interest Rate and n is the number of periods.
(a). 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years:-
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.741667% [8.90% / 12 Months])
Number period (n) = 60 Years [5 Years x 12]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.00741667)60\\= $3,900 / 1.5579298\\= $2,503.32[/tex]
(b). 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years:-
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 1.65% [6.60% / 4]
Number period (n) = 32 Years [8 Years x 4]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.0165)32\\= $3,900 / 1.688248\\= $2,310.09[/tex]
(c). 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.0117808% [4.30% / 365 Days]
Number period (n) = 1460 Years [4 Years x 365 Days]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.000117808)1460\\\\= $3,900 / 1.187665\\\\= $3,283.75[/tex]
(d). 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.0156164% [5.70% / 365 Days]
Number period (n) = 1095 Years [3 Years x 365 Days]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n

The following labor standards have been established... The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours Standard labor rate $ 16.70 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 5,200 hours Actual total labor cost $ 87,360 Actual output 1,100 units
Required:
a. What is the labor rate variance for the month?
b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours
Standard labor rate $ 16.70 per hour
Actual hours worked 5,200 hours
Actual total labor cost $ 87,360
Actual output 1,100 units
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (16.7 - 16.8)*5,200
Direct labor rate variance= $520 unfavorable
Actual rate= 87,360/5,200= $16.8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,100*4.4 - 5,200)*16.7
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $6,012 unfavorable
Tax Savings. John and Cheryl just borrowed $30,000 on a home equity line of credit. The interest rate for the loan is 6.75% for the entire year, and they took out the loan on May 1. John and Cheryl are in the 28% tax bracket. What will be their tax savings for the first year ending December 31st
Answer:
$378
Explanation:
Interest expenses in current year = Amount of borrowing*Interest rate*8 month/12 months
Interest expenses in current year = $30,000 * 6.75% * 8/12
Interest expenses in current year = $1,350
Tax saving on interest expenses = Interest expenses * Tax rate
Tax saving on interest expenses = $1,350 * 28%
Tax saving on interest expenses = $378
So, their tax savings for the first year ending December 31 will be $378.
You plan to set up an endowment at your alma mater that will fund $207,000 of scholarships each year indefinitely. If the principal (the amount you donate) can be invested at 6.0 percent, compounded annually, how much do you need to donate to the university today, so that the first scholarships can be awarded beginning one year from now
Answer: $3,450,000
Explanation:
You need to donate the present value of the indefinite amount today so that the first scholarships can start to be awarded in the next year.
An indefinite amount is known as a perpetuity and the present value of a perpetuity is:
= Perpetuity / Interest rate to be compounded
= 207,000 / 6%
= $3,450,000

Bond X is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 11% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 12%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 7%. How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today
Answer:
Present value = $1,170.68
Explanation:
The value of the bond in 5 years will be:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁵ = $362.45
PV of coupon payments = $110 x 9.1079 (PVIFA, 15 periods, 7%) = $1,001.87
Total value = $1,364.32
The current value of the bond is:
PV of face value = $1,364.32 / (1 + 12%)⁵ = $774.15
PV of coupon payments = $110 x 3.6048 (PVIFA, 5 periods, 12%) = $396.53
Present value = $1,170.68

Answer:
$12,650,000.
Explanation:
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
Reserves = Deposits - outstanding loans
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.09 x 415 million = 37.35 million
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
50 million - 37.35 million = 12.65 million
How does the mode of corroborating (e.g. strategic alliance, joint venture, licensing, outsourcing, collective research organization) influence the success of a collaboration?
Answer:
Organizations are always looking for new strategies to leverage their profits and market positioning. Corroboration arises then as a strategy in which two or more companies unite temporarily or not, through strategic alliance, licensing, joint venture, outsourcing, etc., with the common objective of expanding their market share and profits.
The way to corroborate influences the success of a collaboration because the chosen strategy is aligned with the organizational values and objectives. When two companies join a strategic alliance, for example, they share their resources, knowledge, technologies, market value and others, to achieve different joint benefits, such as competitive advantage, consumer attraction, greater positioning, increased market share, etc.

Baby boomers in America are aging. Describe how this might affect the marketing mix for the business selected.
Answer and Explanation:
Baby boomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964, after World War 2. They are known as "Baby boomers" because there was very high birth rate in that time. Depending on the business selected, the price, place,promotion and product(4ps) will be considered in arriving at the most suitable goods/services to sell to baby boomers. To better understand this, we would have to consider the habits typical of baby boomers. For example, baby boomers value relationships and family, and are also strong 9 to 5'ers with strong work ethics. Now we did have to factor this into our 4ps to know what would sell to them.
Someone offers to buy your car for five, equal annual payments, beginning 6 years from today. If you think that the present value of your car is $15,000.00 and the interest rate is 10%, what is the minimum annual payment that you would accept
Answer:
The minimum annual payment that you would accept is $7,010.
Explanation:
Using the future value formula, we have:
Future value of the car in 6 years = Present value * (100% + Interest rate)^number of years = $15,000 * (100% + 10%)^6 = $26,573.42
Using the present value of an ordinary annuity formula, we have:
Minimum annual payment = Future value of the car in 6 years / ((1 - (1 / (100% + Interest rate))^number of years to pay equal amount) / Interest rate) = $26,573.42 / ((1 - (1 / (100% + 10%))^5) / 10%) = $26,573.42 / 3.79078676940845 = $7,010
Therefore, the minimum annual payment that you would accept is $7,010.
A borrower obtains a one-year ARM which starts at 4.0% and has a margin of 3.0% and 2/6 caps. At the end of the first year, the index is 5.0%. What is the interest rate after the first adjustment
Answer:
The answer is "6".
Explanation:
In the given question the response is 6 because the new rate is the lower of the index + margin (in that case 5 + 3 = 8) whenever the interest rate changes as well as the current rate + cap (in that instance the value 4 + 2 = 6). Its rate of interest would also be 6 percent after the very first adjustment.
