You are given an annuity-immediate paying 10 for 10 years, then decreasing by one per year for nine years and paying one per year thereafter, forever. The annual effective rate of interest is 4%. Calculate the present value of this annuity.

Answers

Answer:

124.17

Explanation:

since the first payment is immediate, then this is an annuity due:

we must divide this annuity into 3 separate parts:

1) today plus 9 years = PV = 10 x 8.43533 (PV annuity due, 4%, 10 periods) = 84.3533

2) the second group of years where annuity decreases by $1

PV year 10 = 9/1.04¹⁰ = 6.08

PV year 11 = 8/1.04¹¹ = 5.20

PV year 12 = 7/1.04¹² = 4.37

PV year 13 = 6/1.04¹³ = 3.60

PV year 14 = 5/1.04¹⁴ = 2.89

PV year 15 = 4/1.04¹⁵ = 2.22

PV year 16 = 3/1.04¹⁶ = 1.60

PV year 17 = 2/1.04¹⁷ = 1.03

sum of PVs = 26.99

3) terminal value at year 17 = 1/0.04 = 25

PV of terminal value = 25/1.04¹⁷ = 12.83

now we add the three parts = 84.3533 + 26.99 + 12.83 = 124.17

Blossom Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $57. Production costs are $37 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Blossom Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $70. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $6 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Prepare an analysis on a per unit basis showing whether Blossom Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

You have been hired by the CFO of Lugones Industries to help estimate its cost of common equity. You have obtained the following data: (1) r d = yield on the firm's bonds = 7.00% and the risk premium over its own debt cost = 4.00%. (2) r RF = 5.00%, RP M = 6.00%, and b = 1.25. (3) D 1 = $1.20, P 0 = $35.00, and g = 8.00% (constant). You were asked to estimate the cost of common based on the three most commonly used methods and then to indicate the difference between the highest and lowest of these estimates. What is that difference?

Answers

Answer:

Under CAPM:

Re = Rf + Beta(Rm - Rf)

Rf = 5%

Rm - Rf = 6%

Beta = 1.25

Re = 5% + (1.25 x 6%) = 12.5%

Under dividend discount model:

Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Div₁ = $1.20

P₀ = $35

g = 8%

Re = ($1.20 / $35) + 8% = 11.43%

Under bond yield plus risk premium approach:

Re = Pre-tax cost of debt + risk premium over its own debt

Pre-tax cost of debt = 7%

risk premium over its own debt = 4%

Re = 7% + 4% = 11%

The highest cost of equity results from the CAPM model and it is 12.5% while the lowest results from using the bond yield plus risk approach (11%), the difference is 1.5% between them.

Ignatius Corporation had 7 million shares of common stock outstanding during the current calendar year. It issued ten thousand $1,000, convertible bonds on January 1. Each bond is convertible into 50 shares of common stock. The bonds were issued at face amount and pay interest semiannually at an annual rate of 10%. On June 30, Ignatius issued 100,000 shares of $100 par 6% cumulative preferred stock. Dividends are declared and paid quarterly. Ignatius has an effective tax rate of 25%. Ignatius would report the following EPS data (rounded) on its net income of $20 million: Basic EPS Diluted EPS a. $ 2.77 $ 2.67 b. $ 2.81 $ 2.73 c. $ 2.85 $ 2.67 d. $ 2.81 $ 2.68

Answers

Answer:

Ignatius Corporation

Basic and Diluted EPS are:

c. $ 2.85 $ 2.67

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Common stock outstanding = 7 million shares

Issued 10,000, $1,000 convertible bonds = $10,000,000

Convertible bonds = 10,000 bonds = 500,000 shares (10,000 x 50)

Interest payment = semiannual at 10% per annum

6%, 100,000 Cumulative preferred stock at $100 par = $10,000,000

Preferred dividend = $600,000

Net Income of $20 million

Basic EPS = $20,000,000/7,000,000 = $2.857 per share

Diluted EPS = $20,000,000/7,500,000 = $2.67 per share

To obtain the diluted EPS, the outstanding common stock is increased by the number of potential convertible bonds.

Assume that the CEO of a company gave you the project charter specifying your authority, among others to work on an initiative providing health services to the community in a certain neighborhood. Before the company embarked on the project, the team analyzed the health sector development program of the country and read through laws the country enacted regarding the health sector. It also did a market survey to solicit information as to who does what. From the analysis, it learned that several companies where engaged in the provision of solar energy. As it did not want to be engaged in providing the same service that others were offering, it started developing solar powered mobile clinic. With an initial outlay of birr 5 Million, the project would last for 7 years. Since the whole work was too huge to consider all at once, the project manager and the team decomposed the project into manageable compartments and then to activities. It also developed schedule, set standards, and anticipated possible bottlenecks along the way. From the analysis it made, it found out that there would be a 20% chance that medical supplies would be delivered late costing the company ETB 350,000. There would also be a 40% chance that the company would save ETB 175,000 in time as it would build the component using already existing templates instead of starting from scratch. Finally, the team would like to make sure that the work would satisfy all of the requirements so that it would get the acceptance of the clients. 1.

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.

In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.

Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.

Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.63 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $74.11 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.75 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

r is the required rate of return or cost of equityg is the constant growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,

74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)

74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63

74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63

74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125

r = 7.409125 / 74.11

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

The Auto Division of Big Department Store had a net operating income of $560,000, a net asset base of $4,000,000, and a required rate of return of 12%. Sales for the period totaled $3,000,000. The residual income for the period is

Answers

Answer:

Residua  income =  $80,000  

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.  

It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department.

The a positive residual value indicate a good performance, hence the higher the residual value the better

It is computed as follows:  

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)  

Controllable profit = 560,000,  

Interest on capital = × 12% × 4,000,000 =  480,000  

Residual income = 560,000 - 480,000=  80,000  

Residua  income =  $80,000

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $400 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual quantity purchased 200 units

Actual price paid $8 per unit

Standard price $10 per unit

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (10 - 8)*200

Direct material price variance= $400 favorable

obligations not expected to be paid within the longer of one year or the company's operating cycle are reported as

Answers

Answer:

Long term liabilities.

Explanation:

This can be easily or mostly be used in companies and also firms. In most cases they are been tagged a non-current liability.

They are generally defined to be obligations that are not been settled for/paid off in the current year or accounting period. Therefore, debts of this kind are not due within a year. Dept of this kind ranges from notes payable to bonds payable, also mortgages and are also seen as leases in a company settings.

In as much as this is not good for a company's financial health, investors and creditors see how the company is financed through this. Current obligations are seen to be more risky than non-current debts because they will need to be paid sooner.

2. Whom would you choose as a referent on this job? What steps would your manager take to make you feel that you were being equitably treated? What would you do if, after a year on the job, you experienced underpayment equity?

Answers

Answer is given below

Explanation:

The comparison is an indication to determine if the treatment is the same. Mentioned may be another person or a group of people similar to them. The Reference Canal may be a person with a previous job or anyone has guesses as to what the result/input ratio will be. Employees are treated equally when they feel that their result / input ratio is equal to the output or input ratio mentioned. Equity is related to the fairness of the results relative to the inputs. Managers help treat employees equally by ensuring that those who provide multiple inputs are rewarded with more results than those who provide less input. If a person changes one aspect of his ratio, the manager must ensure that the other side of the ratio also changes. As the input increases, so does the outcomhold. If the input decreases, the results also decrease. Equity is present when an individual's own result / input ratio is less than the forecast. This happens when an employee compares him or her to a reference and does not want to achieve the results he or his investment has achieved. Equity can be restored by trying to increase growth (by inputs, bonuses or allocating time) or by removing inputs (being late or falling short, doing less work) and turning it into a more accurate indication. If these methods fail, a planned company will choose to depart

Kodiak's absorption costing concept incorporates all production costs into the cost of products.  This means that the cost of production includes all variable and fixed costs associated with production.  Costs that are not related to production are treated as period costs.  Whereas, with variable costing technique, only the variables costs of production are included in the costs of production.  All fixed costs, including factory overheads are treated as period costs.

Four companies were sued by customers for injuries sustained from faulty products. All four companies settled out of court for $400,000. For which of the following companies is this event the LEAST material?a. A company with assets totaling $36 billion.b. A company with assets totaling $40 billion.c. A company with assets totaling $15 billion. d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Answers

Answer:

d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the material impact of the lawsuit on each company, we must divide the settlement by total assets. In this case, we do not need to do the math, we simply have to select which company has the most assets. The more assets a company has, the lesser the material impact of any unfavorable settlement.

A monopoly's cost function is
C = 1.5q^2 + 40 Q
and its the demand for its product is
p = 320-0.5Q
where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output for a monopoly. The profit maximizing output level is units. (Enter a numeric response using an integer)

Answers

Answer:

70 units

Explanation:

The computation of profit maximizing output level is shown below:-

Monopolist perform Marginal Revenue which equivalent to the Marginal Cost as

MR = Marginal Revenue and MC = Marginal Cost

[tex]MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]

[tex]MR = \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}[/tex]

MR = 320 - Q

Now we will find the MC which is

[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} =\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} = 3Q + 40[/tex]

now we will put the value of which is into MR = MC

320 - Q = 3Q + 40  

280 = 4Q

70 = Q

So, the profit maximizing output level is 70 units.

A firm's total cost function is given by the equation TC=4000+5Q+10Q and marginal cost is given by the equation MC=5+20Q
(A) Write an expression for each of the following cost concepts:
a. Total Fixed Cost
b. Average Fixed Cost
c. Total Variable Cost
d. Average Variable Cost
e. Average Total Cost
(B) Calculate the values of marginal cost and the costs in (a)-(e) above for Q=0,1,2,3.
(C) Determine the quantity that minimizes average total cost. Demonstrate that the predicted relationship between marginal cost and average cost holds.

Answers

The answer is A because of 5q allowing it to be MC

Following are the calculation to the given question:

[tex]\to TC = 4,000 + 5Q + 10 \ Q2\\\\\to MC = 5 + 20\ Q\\\\[/tex]

For point A)

[tex](a)\ TFC = 4,000\\\\(b)\ AFC = \frac{TFC}{ Q} = \frac{4,000}{ Q}\\\\(c)\ TVC = 5Q + 10\ Q2\\\\(d)\ AVC = \frac{TVC }{Q} = 50 + 10\ Q\\\\(e)\ ATC = \frac{TC }{ Q} = (\frac{4,000}{ Q}) + 50 + 10Q \ \text{Also, ATC = AVC + AFC}\\\\[/tex]

For point B)

TFC remains unchanged at 4,000, regardless of the price of Q.

i)

[tex]\to Q = 0[/tex]

AFC, AVC, and ATC cannot be calculated (division by zero is not possible).

ii)

Annabelle owns an Italian ice shop. If she decided to expand the size of her shop so that she could sell more Italian ices, how would she know if she is experiencing economies of scale in the long run

Answers

Answer:

her long-run average cost of selling each Italian ice decreases.

Explanation:

Economies of scale is when a firm produces more units of goods or services on a much larger scale, with very little input cost(average cost). Invariably, this implies that the production units of a firm increases as it grows while having a decreased input costs.

A firm will experience economies of scale in the long run if it's average total costs(cost per unit required for production which remains the same irrespective of output) decreases as it increases its scale of production.

eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the​ company's manufacturing overhead​ data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output​ unit?

Answers

Answer:

$7.60 per unit of output

Explanation:

Budgeted output units 51,000 units

Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours

Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600

budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output

In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.

J. Ross and Sons Inc. has a target capital structure that calls for 40 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 50 percent common equity. Ross' common stock currently sells for $40 per share. The firm recently paid a dividend of $2 per share on its common stock, and investors expect the dividend to grow indefinitely at a constant rate of 10 percent per year. J. Ross's cost of retained earnings is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

J. Ross's cost of retained earnings is 18.33%

Explanation:

Cost of retained earnings is also call Cost of Equity

Cost of retained earnings = (Dividend per share for next year / Current market value of stock) + Growth rate of dividend

Cost of retained earnings = 2 / 40(1-40%) + 10%

Cost of retained earnings = 2 / 24 + 10%

Cost of retained earnings = 0.08333 + 0.1

Cost of retained earnings = 0.183333

Cost of retained earnings = 18.3333%

Cost of retained earnings = 18.33%

Mark Sports Inc. sold 500 pairs of skates at $50 each in 2012. The management estimates that 4% of the skates sold will need repair within a year. The repair cost for each pair is $10. Which is the correct journal entry for estimating warranty liability

Answers

Answer:

Warranty repair Expense (Dr.) $200

Warranty Payable (Dr.) $200

Explanation:

The warranty expense is the estimate of probable expense that will incur due to fault in the product. The estimated repair is the 4% of skates sold. If 500 pairs of skates are sold then out of them 4% will require repair. The repair for the faulty skates will cost $10. The total cost will be $200,

500 pairs of skates * 4% * $10

Unlike direct materials, the sum of all the direct labor variances is always equal to the flexible budget variance.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Unlike direct materials, the sum of all the direct labor variances is always equal to the flexible budget variance. Also, a negative direct labor efficiency variance is considered favorable one. And for a direct labor, if the efficiency and rate variances are both negative, then the flexible budget variance will be unfavorable. Therefore, the statement of the question is true.

A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. If 150,000 tons of ore are mined during the first year, the journal entry to record the depletion is:_______.
a. Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Natural Resources $93,750.
b. Debit Cash $112,500; credit Natural Resources $112,500.
c. Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
d. Debit Cash $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
e. Debit Depletion Expense $112,500; credit Accumulated Depletion $112,500.

Answers

Answer:

Option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The depletion expense or charge for the period can be calculated using the following formula,

Depletion expense = [(Cost - Salvage Value) / Total units expected to be mined] * Units mined during the period

Depletion expense = [(1500000 - 250000) / 2000000] * 150000

Depletion expense = $93750

The entry to record the expense is,

Depletion expense            93750 Dr

     Accumulated depletion         93750 Cr

So, option c is the correct answer.

Here I Sit Sofas has 5,800 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $81 per share. There are 630 bonds that mature in 17 years with a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 93 percent of par. The company also has 4,700 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $34 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt?

Answers

Answer:

0.4820

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of debt is shown below:

= Debt value ÷ Total capital structure

where,

Debt value is

= 630 bonds × $1,000 × 0.93

= $585,900

And, the total capital structure is

= Debt value + common stock + preferred stock

= $585,900 + 5,800 shares × $81 + 4,700 shares × $34

= $1,215,500

So, the weight of debt is

= $585,900 ÷ $1,215,500

= 0.4820
