MC Qu. 157 West Company estimates that overhead costs... West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $880,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$35,84 per machine hour

Explanation:

Plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

where,

Budgeted overheads = $3,600,000 + $880,000 = $4,480,000

Budgeted Activity = 125,000 machine hours

therefore,

Plantwide overhead rate = $4,480,000 ÷ 125,000

                                         = $35,84 per machine hour

Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent for the next 9 years and then level off to a 5 percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today?

Answers

Answer:

$143.40

Explanation:

The dividend for the next year = [tex]\text{ current year dividend} \times (1 + \text{growth})[/tex]  

                                                   = $ 1.50 x (1 + 0.13)

                                                   = 1.50 x 1.30

                                                   = $ 1.95

The dividend in the second year = 1.95 x 1.30

                                                       = $ 2.54

Similarly, the dividend for the year 9 is = [tex]$1.50 \times (1.30)^9$[/tex]

                                                                = $ 15.91

The value of the stock at the end of year 9,

[tex]$=\frac{\text{Dividend of year 10}}{\text{(Required rate of return - Growth rate)}}$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{15.91\times1.05}{0.13-0.05}$[/tex]

= $ 208.81

The present value factor [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}$[/tex]

where, r = rate of interest = 13% = 0.13

            n = years (1 to 9)

So, the present value factor for the 2nd year is [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^2}$[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1.13)^2}$[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]$=\frac{1}{1.2769}$[/tex]

                                                                              = 0.783147

Therefore, the price of the stock today is calculated as to be $ 143.40

Answers

Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.

Explanation:

Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.

If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5 percent a year forever.
a. If you want a return of 15 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
b. If you want a return of 8 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?

Answers

Answer:

a.

$27.27

b.

$75

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock

Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )

a.

Where

Expected Dividend = $3.00

Rate of return = 15%

Growth rate = 4.5%

Placing values in the formula

Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 15% - 4% )

Value of Stock = $3 / 11%

Value of Stock = $27.27

b.

Where

Expected Dividend = $3.00

Rate of return = 8%

Growth rate = 4.5%

Placing values in the formula

Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 8% - 4% )

Value of Stock = $3 / 4%

Value of Stock = $75

If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.

Answers

Answer:

low

greater

increase

increase

decrease

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.

Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied

When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded

Answers

Answer: 34.33

Explanation:

Firstly, we'll calculate the terminal value

which willl be:

= 2.70 × (1+5%)/(12% - 5%)

= 2.70 x 1.05/(0.12 - 0.05)

= 40.5

Then, the intrinsic value will be:

= 2/1.12 + 2.4/1.12² + (2.7 + 40.5)/1.12³

= 34.33

Therefore, the the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc is 34.33

Allen Green is a single taxpayer with an AGI (and modified AGI) of $214,000, which includes $172,000 of salary, $26,200 of interest income, $10,400 of dividends, and $5,400 of long-term capital gains. What is Allen's net investment income tax liability this year, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount

Answers

Answer:

$532

Explanation:

The income that is considered for NIIT is the (a) lesser of the net investment income or (b) the amount by which MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold.

a. $42,000 ($26,200 interest income + $10,400 dividends + $5,400 Long-term capital gains)

b. $14,000 ($214,000 - $200,000)

Note: MAGI threshold of $200,000 for single taxpayer is applicable before they fall under the NIIT bracket of 3.8% of tax.

Net Investment Income = $14,000

Net investment income tax liability = Net Investment Income * 3.8%

Net investment income tax liability = $14,000 * 3.8%

Net investment income tax liability = $532

So, Allen's net investment income tax liability this year is $532.

            1,000,000                                 900,000+300,000X

Using the formula of Beta of Portfolio to find out X

0.75 = 900,000 + 300,000X / 1,000,000

0.75 * 1,000,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X

750,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X

750,000 - 900,000 = 300,000X

-150,000 = 300,000X

X = -150,000 / 300,000

X = -0.5

Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club

Answers

Answer:

1.43

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Price =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2

Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 =  0.2857

0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price

p = 0,2

=0.2857

A US Treasury is quoted at $137.111 based on $100 par. Today is 12/31/2020. Assume that transaction date and settlement date is the same. The coupon rate is 8%. The bond has 30-year maturity. What is the yield-to-maturity

This makes sense because the bond is trading at a premium which means that the YTM is less than the coupon rate.

The Down and Out Co. just issued a dividend of $2.91 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

14.81%

Explanation:

Cost of equity = (Dividend for next period / Current price) + Growth rate

Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.My Dear Sir: You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows: I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution? By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether. When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...Yours truly,A. LincolnUse context to determine the meaning of the words in bold.
