For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-maturity debt securities. None of the above. Each case is independent of the other.
(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.
(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.
(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.
(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.
(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.
(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now.
Answer:
(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold. - Trading Debt Securities
Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.
(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock. - None of the Above
This is an Equity Investment.
(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year. - Trading Debt Securities
Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.
(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold. - Available-for-sale debt securities
Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.
(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time. - None of the above.
This is an Equity investment as well.
(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.
Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

A firm has a debt-to-equity of 0.69 and a market-to-book ratio of 3.0. What is the ratio of the book value of debt to the market value of equity?
Answer:
0.23
Explanation:
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debt/ Total common equity
Market to book Ratio = Market price per share / Book value per share
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = Debt to Equity Ratio / Market to book Ratio
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.69 / 3
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.23
Therefore, the ratio is 0.23
Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,080,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 17%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:
Sales $3,400,000
Variable expenses 1,450,000
Contribution margin 1,950,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed
out-of-pocket costs $670,000
Depreciation 828,000
Total fixed expenses 1,498,000
Net operating income $452,000
Required:
a. Compute the project's net present value.
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return.
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?
Answer:
a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09
b. Simple rate of return is 15%
c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.
d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.
Explanation:
a. Compute the project's net present value.
To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:
Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 + $828,000 = $1,,280,000
Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?
P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000
r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17
n = Equipment useful years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]
PV = $4,095,163.09
Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return
This can be computed as follows:
Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment = $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.
Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?
No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.
Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

Answer:
Giada's Book Store
The company would have reported a total profit of $19,000, which is $10,000 less.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Income statement for the most current year:
Cookbook Travel Book Classics Total
Sales $68,000 $126,000 $53,000 $247,000
Cost of goods sold 40,000 66,000 21,000 127,000
Contribution margin 28,000 60,000 32,000 120,000

Allocated corporate costs 8,000 8,000 8,000 24,000 Corporate profit $ (3,000) $23,000 $9,000 $29,000
Corporate profit = $29,000
less allocated cookbook costs 10,000
Adjusted corporate profit = $19,000
b) Discontinuing the Cookbook product line would have eliminated the contribution the product line makes to defraying Rent and Allocated Corporate costs totalling $10,000 unless the Rental space was a variable cost.
Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.
Instructions
Use the net present value method to determine whether Hillsong should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine, and state the reason for your conclus
Answer:
NPV = 37,599 Negative
Explanation:
We can calculate the NPV of the new sewing machine by deducting the Present value of future cash inflows by Investment
Initial investment = Machine cost + Training cost - Salvage value
Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000
Initial investment = 2,285,000
Year DF(9%) Present Value
1 Cash inflow 390,000 x 0.917 $357,798
2 Cash inflow 400,000 x 0.842 $336,672
3 Cash inflow 411,000 x 0.772 $317,367
4 Cash inflow 426,000 x 0.708 $301,789
5 Cash inflow 334,100 x 0.650 $217,077 (434,100 - 100,000)
6 Cash inflow 435,000 x 0.596 $259,376
7 Cash inflow 436,000 x 0.547 $238,507
7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547 $218,814
Present Value of cash inflow $2,247,401
Initial investment $2,285,000
NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000) (37,599)
Conclusion: Hillsong should not purchase the new machine as the NPV of the machine is negative
How much will be in the Prepaid Insurance account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted
Answer: $8,400
Explanation:
The $9,600 is for 2 years in advance. This can be apportioned per month at a rate of;
= 9,600/24
= $400 per month.
October to the end of the year is 3 months so;
= 400 * 3
= $1,200 will be recorded for the year.
Prepaid Insurance will therefore reduce to;
= 9,600 - 1,200
= $8,400
Menlo Company distributes a single product. The company’s sales and expenses for last month follow:

Answer:
a) 12,500 units
b) $75,000
c) 17,100 units
d) total sales revenue $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400
contribution margin = $102,600
- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) 20.38%
f.1) 30%
f.2) $22,800
Explanation:
Total Per unit
Sales $314,000 $20
Variable expenses $219,800 $14
Contribution margin $94,200 $6
Fixed expenses $75,000
Net operating income $19,200
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $75,000 / $6 = 12,500 units
units needed to yield expected profits = (fixed costs + expected profits) / contribution margin = ($75,000 + $27,600) / $6 = 17,100 units
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($314,000 - $250,000) / $314,000 = 20.38%
contribution margin ratio = (total revenue - variable costs) / total revenue = ($314,000 - $219,800) / $314,000 = 30%
$76,000 x 30% = $22,800
The monthly break-even point in unit sales is 12,500 units. The total contribution margin at the break-even point is $75,000.
c) 17,100 units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of S27,600.
d) total sales revenue of $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400
contribution margin = $102,600
- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) The company's margin of safety in percentage terms is 20.38%.
f.1) The company's CM ratio is 30%.
f.2) The Expected monthly net operating income to increase by $22,800.
The break-even threshold is reached when overall costs and total revenues are equal, leaving your small firm with no net benefit or loss. In other words, you've achieved the point in manufacturing when the income from a product matches the cost of manufacturing.
A formula known as net operating income (NOI) is used to assess the profitability of real estate assets that produce revenue. NOI is the sum of all property revenues less all running costs that are deemed to be reasonably reasonable.
On a property's income and cash flow statement, NOI is a before-tax statistic that does not include loan principal and interest payments, capital expenses, depreciation, or amortization. In other sectors, this term is known as "EBIT," which stands for "earnings before interest and taxes."

Your first baby was born yesterday and is healthy and strong. To guard against your premature death, you want to purchase a life insurance policy that will replace $58,000 of your annual income until your child is 20 years old. How much life insurance should you purchase, if you assume a 3% inflation rate
Answer:
assuming the interest rate is = 15% the life insurance should you should purchase = $497854.0773
Explanation:
Given that :
Annual income receipt = $58000
Assumption:
If we assume that the inflation rate π = 3% = 0.03
Also , let assume that the interest rate is = 15% = 0.15 since it is not given too
Then the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (i-\pi)}{(1+\pi)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.15-0.03)}{(1+0.03)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.12)}{(1.03)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = 0.1165
the effective interest rate = 11.65%
Since n = [tex]\infty[/tex]
The Principal amount of how much life insurance should you purchase is;
= Annual income receipt/the effective interest rate
= $58000/ 0.1165
= $497854.0773
Conor Airlines Inc. recently issued $50 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year. Yahoo.finance shows that the stock has a beta of 0.97. The current risk-free rate is 2.50% and the market return is 11%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?
Answer: $38.39
Explanation:
First calculate the required return according to CAPM;
Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)
= 2.50% + 0.97 ( 11% - 2.50%)
= 10.745%
Then using the Dividend discount model and remembering that there is no growth rate;
Value = Next dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= (50 * 8.25%) / ( 10.745% - 0)
= 4.125/10.745%
= $38.39
Answer:
$38.29
Explanation:
Ke = Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)
Ke=0.0250+0.97*(0.11+0.0250)
Ke=0.10745
Ke=10.75 appr.
Po= Dividend / (Ke-g)
Po= 50*0.0825 / (0.10745 - 0)
Po=4.125/0.10745
Po=38.3899
Po=38.29
Thus, the intrinsiv value of this preferred stock is $38.29
Annual demand for a product is 13,000 units; weekly demand is 250 units with a standard deviation of 40 units. The cost of placing an order is $100, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.65 per unit.a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?
Answer:
a. Reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.
b. the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.
Explanation:
a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?
This can be calculated as follows:
Step 1: Calculation of optimal order quantity
The optimal order quantity also known as economic order quantity (EOQ) using the following formula:
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 *D*O}{C} }[/tex] ........................................... (1)
Where,
EOQ = Optimal order quantity = ?
D = Annual demands = 13,000
O = Ordering cost = $100
C = Carrying cost of annual inventory = $0.65 per unit
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*13,000*100}{0.65} }[/tex]
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2,600,000}{0.65} }[/tex]
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{4,000,000}[/tex]
EOQ = 2,000 units
Step 2: Calculation of standard deviation during the lead time
This can be calculated using the following formula:
[tex]SL = \sqrt{L*(S)^{2} }[/tex] ................................................. (2)
Where;
SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = ?
L = Lead time = 4
S = Standard deviation = 40
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
[tex]SL = \sqrt{4 *(40)^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]SL = \sqrt{4*1,600}[/tex]
[tex]SL =\sqrt{6.400}[/tex]
SL = 80
Also, z = 2.05 from the standard normal distribution
Step 3: Calculation of reorder point
Total calculate reorder point, we use the following formula:
R = (d * L) + (z * SL) ............................................ (3)
Where;
R = Reorder point = ?
d = Weekly demand = 250
L = Lead time = 4
z = 2.05
SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
R = (250 * 4) + (2.05 * 80)
R = 1,000 + 164
R = 1,164 units
Therefore, reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.
b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?
ISS = Initial safety stock = z * SL = 2.05 * 80 = 164
If the safety stock is reduced by 100 units, we have:
NSS = New safety stock = ISS - 100 = 164 - 100 = 64
The new z (nz) can be obtained as follows:
NSS = nz * SL ................................................. (4)
Where;
NSS = 64
nz = new z = ?
SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80
Substituting the values into equation (4) and solve for nz, we have:
64 = nz * 80
nz = 64 / 80
nz = 0.80
For the new z, nz = 0.80, from Standard Normal distribution, the new service probability is 79%.
Therefore, the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.
UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of , and Wal-Mart has a beta of The risk-free rate of interest is and the market risk premium is %. What is the expected return on a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?
The question is incomplete as it does not contain values. The following is the complete question.
UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of 1.2, and Wal-mart has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. What is the expected return a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?
Answer:
The expected return of the portfolio is Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stocks' expected returns that form up the portfolio.
The formula for portfolio's expected return is as follows,
Portfolio r = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weight of each stock in the portfolior is the expected return of each stockTo calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we will first calculate the expected return of UPS and Wal Mart using the CAPM equation.
The formula for expected return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium of marketr UPS = 0.04 + 1.2 * 0.07
r UPS = 0.124 or 12.4%
r Wal Mart = 0.04 + 0.8 * 0.07
r Wal Mart = 0.096 or 9.6%
Portfolio r = 0.4 * 0.124 + 0.6 * 0.096
Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%

B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.
Explanation:
When a company is growing it attracts various types of customers that patronise their products.
The technology enthusiasts are those ones that will test a beta version of a product and make technological recommendations. They have passion for testing latest gadgets and have more knowledge of the product than the average customer.
Early adopters are those that adopt a product before most other people. They are less concerned with technology concerns, but rather are visionary.
They focus on the potential of a product and therefore promote it to other users. A trait of early adopter is that they want to stay ahead of the trend so they seek out new products.

Night Shades, Inc. (NSI), manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $11.13 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $7.29 per unit.Required:a. What is the variable cost per unit?b. Suppose the company incurs fixed costs of $875,000 during a year in which total your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) production is 190,000 units. What are the total costs for the year?c. If the selling price is $44.99 per unit, does the company break even on a cash basis? I depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?
Answer:
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary direct material cost= $11.13
Unitary direct labor cost= $7.29
A.
Total variable cost per unit= 11.13 + 7.29= $18.42
B. Fixed costs= $875,000
Production= 190,000
Total costs= 875,000 + 18.42*190,000= $4,374,800
C.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 875,000 / (44.99 - 18.42)
Break-even point in units= 32,932 units
D. Depreciation= $435,000
Accounting break-even point= (875,000 - 435,000) / 26.75
Accounting break-even point= 16,449 units
The FREC is investigating a claim by a buyer that the broker had not given the proper disclosure to the buyer before the buyer purchased a home. The broker has paperwork dating back three years from the date of the signing of the document in question, and one year after the legal action of the case. Is the broker protected?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The Florida Real Estate Commission was constituted in 1926. Members are appointed by the Governor.
The aim of FREC is to protect ye public from bad practices by brokers. They have the authority to impose disciplinary action on lisensees.
According to requirement of the FREC the broker is required to keep records of transactions 5 years after the transaction occurred and 2 years after any legal action.
In this case the broker kept his records 3 years after the transaction and 1 year after legal action.
So he is not protected from disciplinary action by the FREC
Shares in prince and nice have a beta of 0.9. The expected returns to the market are 10% and the risk free rate of return is 4%. What is the cost of equity capital for prince and nice?
Answer:
9.4%
Explanation:
using the CAPM formula, the cost of equity (Re) is:
Re = Rf + B(Rm - Rf)
Rf = risk free rate = 4%Rm = market risk = 10%B = beta = 0.9Re = 4% x [0.9 x (10% - 4%)] = 4% x (0.9 x 6%) = 4% x 5.4% = 9.4%
The cost of equity (Re) refers to the required rate of return that investors expect to receive from a certain investment, e.g. stocks or any particular project
Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.66 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
A. 3.96%
B. 6.24%
C. 5.82%
D. 3.66%
E. 3.45%
Answer:
D. 3.66%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $2,120
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60
NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 3.66%
If the capital stock is fixed and something happens to raise the marginal product of capital for any given quantity of capital, then the real rental price of capital will:
Answer: B) rise
Explanation:
The real rental price of capital refers to the cost of borrowing capital which is the interest payment on the capital less the capital gains made. As a result it is equal to the marginal product of capital which shows how much extra, a unit of capital enables the entity to produce.
Therefore, if marginal product of capital rises, as is the case in the question, so will the real rental price of capital.
Beyer Company is considering the purchase of an asset for $190,000. It is expected to produce the following net cash flows. The cash flows occur evenly within each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total
Net cash flows $50,000 $31,000 $60,000 $140,000 $30,000 $311,000
Compute the payback period for this investment.
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000
The balance required to equate 190,000 would be
balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000
Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Which of the following is not a recommended guideline for designing and administering a compensation and reward system that will truly motivate organization members, inspire their best efforts, and sustain high levels of productivity?
A. Make the performance payoff a major, not minor, piece of the total compensation package
B. Keep the time between achieving the target performance outcome and the payment of the reward as short as possible
C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives
D. Make sure that the performance targets that each individual or team is expected to achieve involve outcomes that the individual or team can personally affect
E. Absolutely avoid skirting the system to find ways to reward effort rather than results
Answer: C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives.
Explanation:
Employees generally prefer to be paid for their hardwork and so would prefer that their rewards are more monetary in nature than not. As good as non-monetary rewards are, they should not be on equal footing with monetary rewards. If they are, it could demotivate employees who will feel they are not getting paid their fair share.
Negative incentives get the job done but more often than not fail to positively motivate employees in such a way that they will bring out their best efforts. Negative incentives are more like punishments or the threat of them and so if they are on equal footing with positive investments, organization members will not be as motivated.
