Answer: $152,309.69
Explanation:
You are looking for the future value of this amount in 29 years assuming it will be compounded annually.
Future value = Amount * (1 + rate)^ number of years
= 4,400 * ( 1 + 13%)²⁹
= $152,309.69
The acid-test ratio differs from the current ratio in that: _______
a) The acid-test ratio is a measure of liquidity but the current ratio is not.
b) Liabilities are divided by current assets
c) The acid-test ratio measures profitability and the current ratio does not.
d) Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.
e) The acid-test ratio excludes short-term investments from the calculation.
Answer:
d) Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.
Explanation:
The acid-test can be regarded quick ratio, this ratio makes the comparison between most short-term assets of a company and most short-term liabilities of the company in order to ascertain if there is enough cash for the company to pay immediate liabilities in the company. These immediate liabilities could be short-term debt. There is usually disregards of current assets by acid-test ratio which it's liquidation is difficult example is inventory.
Current ratio can be regarded as ratio that compares current assets of a company and the current liabilities. It can be gotten by finding ratio of current assets of the company and current liabilities. liquidity of a company can be measured using current ratio by potential creditors.
It should be noted that The acid-test ratio differs from the current ratio in that Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine Railroad is comparing two separate capital structures. The first structure consists of 405,000 shares of stock and no debt. The second structure consists of 252397 shares of stock and $1.82 million of debt. What is the price per share of equity?
a. $75.56.
b. $88.76.
c. $82.42.
d. $72.12.
e. $93.20.
Answer:
$11.93
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the price per share of equity
Using this formula
Price per share of equity = Debt under Plan II / (Number of shares under Plan I - Number of shares under Plan II)
Let plug in the formula
Price per share of equity= $1,820,000 / (405,000 - 252,397)
Price per share = $1,820,000 / 152,603
Price per share = $11.93
Therefore the price per share of equity is $11.93
On its balance sheet, Walgreen Co. reports treasury stock at cost of $4,114 million. The company has a total of 1,100,000,000 shares issued and 950,000,000 shares outstanding. What average price did Walgreen pay for treasury shares?
a. $3.15.b. $3.29.c. $3.03.d. $38.1.
Answer:
$2.74
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What average price did Walgreen pay for treasury shares
Price per share =total treasury shares at cost/treasury shares.
Price per share=$4,114 million / (1,100,000,000 – 950,000,000)
Price per share=$4,114 million/
= $2.74 per share.
The risk-free rate is 3%. The beta is 1.4, the alpha is 0.6 and the average return is 12%. What is the market return? How is it calculated?
Answer:
9.00%
Explanation:
In a bid to determine the market return, we make use of the formula for average return provided below whereby the formula is rearranged in order to market return the subject of the formula as shown thus:
Average return = Alpha + rf + β * (rm - rf)
Average return=12%
Alpha=0.6%
rf=risk-free rate=3%
β=Beta=1.4
rm=market return=the unknown
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4*(rm-3%)
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%=3.6%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%-3.6%+4.20%=1.4rm
12.60%=1.4rm
rm=12.60%/1.4
rm=9.00%
Jammer Company uses a weighted average perpetual inventory system and reports the following:
August 2 Purchase 24 units at $18.50 per unit. August 18 Purchase 26 units at $20.00 per unit. August 29 Sale 48 units. August 31 Purchase 29 units at $21.50 per unit.
What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31? (Round your per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $21.36
Explanation:
Weighted average inventory system works by taking the average of the inventory prices on the different days.
Price on August 29 which is date of sale:
= {(Units purchased on August 2 * Unit cost on August 2) + ( Units purchased on August 18 * Unit cost on August 18)] / (Units purchased on August 2 + Units purchased on August 18)
= [ ( 24 * 18.50) + (26 * 20) ] / (24 + 26)
= $19.28 per unit
48 units were sold so the number of units left are:
= 24 + 26 - 48
= 2 units
Price on August 31
= [ (Units remaining on August 29 * Unit cost on August 29) + ( Units purchased on August 31 * Unit cost on August 31)] / (Units remaining on August 29 + Units purchased on August 31)
= [ (2 * 19.28) + (29 * 21.50) ] / ( 2 + 29)
= $21.36
Private solutions to correct for externalities Consider the following scenario: Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted by the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to fund a campaign to stop the farm's pollution. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?A. Integration of different types of businessesB. ContractsC. Moral codes and social sanctionsD. Charities
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The activities of the chicken firm constitutes a negative externality to the environment
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality. This is the solution employed here.
Payne Company provided the following information relevant to its inventory sales and purchases for December 2013 and the first quarter of 2014:
Dec. 2013 Jan. 2014 Feb. 2014 Mar. 2014
(Actual) (Budgeted) (Budgeted) (Budgeted)
Cost of goods sold $80,000 $140,000 $180,000 $120,000
Desired ending inventory levels are 25% of the following month's projected cost of goods sold. The company purchases all inventory on account. January Year 2 budgeted purchases are $180,000. The normal schedule for inventory payments is 60% payment in month of purchase and 40% payment in month following purchase.
Budgeted cash payments for inventory in February 2014 would be: __________
Answer:
$171,000
Explanation:
Purchases in February = ($120,000 * 25%) + ($180,000 -$180,000*25%)
Purchases in February = $30,000 + $135,000
Purchases in February = $165,000
Payment in February = ($180,000 * 40%) + ($165,000 * 60%)
Payment in February = $72,000 + $99,000
Payment in February = $171,000
So, the bdgeted cash payments for inventory in February 2014 will be $171,000.

Crane Corporation's computation of cost of goods sold is:
Beginning inventory $34800
Add: Cost of goods purchased 470000
Cost of goods available for sale 504800
Less: Ending inventory 72000
Cost of goods sold $432800
The average days to sell inventory for Fry are:________
Answer:
16.64 days
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will calculate the average days to sell inventories with the formula below;
Average days to sell inventories = [Ending inventory / Cost of goods sold] × 100
Ending inventory = $72,000
Cost of goods sold = $432,800
Then, Average days to sell inventories
= [$72,000 / $432,800] × 100
= 16.64 days
Therefore, the average days to sell inventory for Fry are 16.64 days
You have been asked to analyze First Union Bank. You have only the following information on the bank at year-end 2021: Net income is $440,000, total debt is $2.0 million, and the bank’s debt ratio is 50 percent. What is First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021
First step
Debt ratio = 0.50 = $2.0m / Total assets
Second step
Total assets = $2.0m / 0.50
Total assets = $4.000m
Third step
Total equity = $4.000m - $2.0m
Total equity = 2.000m
Now let determine the ROE
ROE = $440000 / $2.000m
ROE=22.00%
Therefore First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021 is 22.00%
A monopolist, unlike a competitive firm, has some market power. It can raise its price, within limits, without the quantity demanded falling to zero. The main way it retains its market power is through barriers to entry—that is, other companies cannot enter the market to create competition in that particular industry.Complete the following table by indicating which barrier to entry appropriately explains why a monopoly exists in each scenario.ScenarioBarriers to EntryExclusive Ownership of a Key ResourceGovernment-Created MonopoliesEconomies of ScaleThe Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s. Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs. In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
Answer:
Monopolist's Market Power and Barriers to Entry
Scenario 1
The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s.
Barrier to Entry:
Exclusive Ownership of a Key Resource
Scenario 2
Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs.
Barrier to Entry:
Government-Created Monopolies
Scenario 3:
In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
Barrier to Entry:
Economies of Scale
Explanation:
Exclusive Ownership of a Key Resource: It has been argued that monopolies do not arise from exclusive ownership of a key resource. However, having exclusive ownership grants an entity a kind of natural monopoly.
Government-Created Monopolies: Governments create monopolies by protecting intellectual property and issuing patents and copyrights, which give the holders exclusive rights to produce some products or render some services for a period of time. The purpose is to encourage innovation and industrialization.
Economies of Scale: When a company is able to produce goods in large quantity, this reduces the average cost per unit, increases efficiency, and economies of scale are achieved because the costs of production are spread over larger units.

A disadvantage of the line structure is that it
Answer:
Disadvantages of a Line Organization
A line organization can suffer from a lack of specialization. This is because each department manager is concerned only with the activities of his own department. Therefore, employees are skilled in tasks pertaining to their departments alone.
These organizations can overburden a keyman or a few key-men to the extent of their breaking point. Also, in the absence of a staff aid, if a strong man seizes the organization, he can run it arbitrarily. Such arbitrary power can lead to a considerable damage to the organization.
Such organizations usually suffer from a lack of expert advice. If the line manager has trouble making a decision, there is no expert staff that he can turn to.
A line organization is usually rigid and inflexible. In fact, such organizations maintain discipline so rigorously that they can rarely change.
These organizations are based on the autocratic system of management.
The division of work is not based on any scientific plan but on the whims of the manager.
It might stop progress and prevent the unit to work effectively.
Such organizations might also encourage nepotism or favoritism based on relationship or friendship.

A) Japan
B) Germany
C) Canada
D) Italy
Answer: C. Canada
Explanation:
While Canada does not enforce a rule that says that companies should issue statements at year end, most companies on average seem to favor having a December year end in Canada than all the other countries on this list.
A survey in 2017 showed that 57% of Canadian companies favored a December year end with the other months not even receiving anything more than 7% each. Compared to the U.S. however, Canada is lacking as 71% or more American companies favored a December year end.
Sweet Treats common stock is currently priced at $17.15 a share. The company just paid $1.22 per share as its annual dividend. The dividends have been increasing by 2.4 percent annually and are expected to continue doing the same. What is this firm's cost of equity
Answer:
9.68 percent
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's cost of equity
Using this formula
Cost of equity=[(Annual dividend×Increase in dividends×/Current price of common stock]+Dividends
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity=[($1.22 × 1.024)/$17.15] + 0.024
Cost of equity=($1.24928/$17.15)+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0728+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0968*100
Cost of equity=9.68 percent
Therefore the firm's cost of equity is 9.68 percent
Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $56,000 that has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine has an estimated 1,000,000 copies. This year 240,000 copies were made. Determine the (a) depreciable cost, (b) depreciation rate, and (c) the units-of-production depreciation for the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The depreciable cost is the result of deducting from the purchase price the salvage value:
Depreciable cost= 56,000 - 8,000
Depreciable cost= $48,000
The depreciable rate is the depreciation that the asset suffers in one year express as a percentage:
Depreciation rate= 1/5 = 0.2 or 20% per year
Finally, the units of production depreciation for the first year:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in copies]*number of copies
Annual depreciation= (48,000/1,000,000)*240,000
Annual depreciation= 0.048*240,000
Annual depreciation= $11,520
g Suppose a commercial bank has checkable deposits of $80,000 and the legal reserve ratio is 20 percent. If the bank's required and excess reserves are equal, then its actual reserves
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Required reserves = checkable deposits × legal reserve ratio
= $80,000 × 20%
= $16,000
Now the actual reserves is
= $16,000 + $16,000
= $32,000
Also excess reserve is equivalent to the required reserves
Hence, the actual reserves is $32,000
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?
Answer:
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project. The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).
Explanation:
a) Data:
Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%
Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%
Weight of Division L = 50%
Weight of Division H = 50%
Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)
Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%

Explanation:
U.S. has a borrowing rate of 8% and German has borrowing rate of 10%. If U.S. dollars are borrowed from firm then Euros will depreciate to match with the dollar borrowing.
[1 + 8% ] / [ 1 + 10%] - 1 = - 1.1818
Consider a stock priced at $30 with a standard deviation of 0.3. The risk-free rate is 0.05. There are put and call options available at exercise prices of 30 and a time to expiration of six months. The calls are priced at $2.89 and the puts cost $2.15. There are no dividends on the stock and the options are European. Assume that all transactions consist of 100 shares or one contract (100 options). Suppose the investor constructed a covered call. At expiration the stock price is $27. What is the investor's profit
Answer:
-$11
Explanation:
Covered Call involves Buy stocks and Sell call options
Earning $2.89 by selling call. So, at stock price of $27, the payoff from options is $2.89 per option
Options Profits = $2.89 * 100
Options Profits = $289
Profit of stock = ($27 - $30) * 100
Profit of stock = -$300
Investor Net Profit = Profit of stock + Options Profits
Investor Net Profit = -$300 + $289
Investor Net Profit = -$11
When one uses the after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to value a levered firm, the interest tax shield is A) not accounted for by the use of the WACC. B) considered by deducting the interest payment from the cash flows. C) automatically considered because the after-tax cost of debt is included within the WACC formula. D) capitalized by the levered cost of equity.
Answer: C) automatically considered because the after-tax cost of debt is included within the WACC formula.
Explanation:
When calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for a levered firm, the interest tax shield is included because the cost of debt used is adjusted for tax as shown below:
= (Weight of debt * Cost of debt( 1 - tax rate) ) + (Weight of equity * cost of equity)
As shown above, the interest tax shield is already implicit in the formula so there is no need to adjust the levered firm for an interest tax shield as this would lead to double-counting.
