Answer:
Percentage Return = 0.13936651584 or 13.936651584% rounded off to 13.94%
Explanation:
To calculate the return percentage, we need to take the total return provided by the share in form of both dividends and capital gains. The total yield or return for the holding period can be calculated as follows,
Percentage Return = [Dividend + P1 - P0] / P0
Where,
P1 is price todayP0 is the purchase pricePercentage Return = [0.45 + 62.50 - 55.25] / 55.25
Percentage Return = 0.13936651584 or 13.936651584% rounded off to 13.94%

Explanation:
You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
You do not start saving money until age 46. On your 46th birthday you dutifully invest $10,000 each year until you finish your deposits when you reach the age of 65 (you make the last deposit on your 65th birthday). The annual interest rate is 8% that you earn on your deposits. Your brother starts saving $10,000 a year on his 36th birthday but stops making deposits after 10 years. He then withdraws the compounded sum when he reaches age 65. How much more money will your brother have than you at age 65?
Answer:
$217,600
Explanation:
The computation of the more money is shown below:
As we know that
The Future value of the annuity is
= P × { (1+r)^n - 1} ÷ r
= $10,000 × (1+.08)^20 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $457,619.64
For 36 years to 46 years,
FV = $10,000 × (1+.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $144,865.62
Now
FV = PV(1+r)^n
= $144,865.62× (1+.08)^20
= $675,212.47
Now the more amount would be
= $675,212.47 - $457,619.64
= $217592.83
= $217,600

oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.

The answer is "subtracting the average return on the U.S. Treasury bill from".
Explanation:
By subtracting the average annual return on the US Treasury bill form of the investment's average return, that excess return is calculated, when the risk premium is another term for excess return. After subtracting the risk-free return from its investment's annualized value, the risk premium is calculated its avg treasury bond investment is a risk-free portfolio.
When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.
Answer:
company-wide
Explanation:
Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects. This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate. It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services. The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.

avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
The attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory was developed and introduced by Benjamin Schneider. This theory typically gives the reason why a business firm or organization looks and feels the way it does with respect to the employees and employers.
According to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory, job applicants avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values. Also, it states that job applicants are usually attracted to colleagues having similar assumptions and values.

Skyler Manufacturing recorded operating data for its shoe division for the year. Sales $4,500,000 Contribution margin 500,000 Controllable fixed costs 200,000 Average total operating assets 900,000 How much is controllable margin for the year
Answer:
Controllable margin= $300,000
Controllable margin in %= 33.3%
Explanation:
Controllable margin is sales revenue less controllable variable costs and fixed cost.
Controllable margin= Sales revenue - controllable variable cost - controllable fixed costs
Controllable margin= contribution margin - fixed costs
= 500,000 - 200,000= 300,000
Controllable margin in %= 300,000/900,000 × 100 =33.3%
Controllable margin in %= 33.3

Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
Norris Company has the following capital structure: Common stock, $1 par, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding. On October 1, 2020, the company declared a 5% common stock dividend when the market price of the common stock was $15 per share. The stock dividend will be distributed on October 15, 2020, to stockholders on record on October 10, 2020. Upon declaration of the stock dividend, Norris Company would record:
Answer: Debit to retained earnings of $75000
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the stock dividend will be:
= 100,000 shares x 5%
= 100000 × 0.05
= 5,000 shares.
Since the market price is $15 per share, then the retained earnings will be:
= $15 × 5000
= $75000
Stock dividend distributable will be:
= 5,000 x $1
= $5000
Paid in capital in excess of par = $75000 - $5000 = $70000
The journal entry will be:
Debit Retained earnings $75000
Credit Stock dividend distributable $5,000
Credit Paid in capital in excess of par $70000

Calculate amortization expense
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of $5 per year at $48 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for $33 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is $4.00; and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock.
Required:
a. What is the cost of each of the capital components?
b. What is Adamson's WACC?
Answer:
a. Cost of debt = Interest * (1 - Tax rate)
= 10%*(1 - 0.30)
= 7%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/ Issue price
= 5/48
= 10.42%
Cost of common stock (Cost of retained earnings) = (D1/P0) + g
= (4/33) + 0.07
= 0.12 + 0.07
= 0.19
= 19%
b. Fund Cost Weight Cost * Weight
Debt 7% 0.15 1.05%
Preferred stock 10.42% 0.10 1.042%
Retained earnings 19% 0.75 14.25%

Benny is 57 years old and is employed by the state as a school bus driver.He has an exemplary record,with no accidents in the past 27 years.Tom,aged 31,replaces Benny.Benny intends to file a discrimination claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.If Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity,which of the following statements is most likely to be true?
A) Benny has a valid claim and can sue the state because he can establish all of the elements of a prima facie case.
B) Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
C) Benny is a state employee and must file his claim pursuant to the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.
D) Benny does not have a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA as he was replaced by an employee who is older than 30.
Answer: B. Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity, thus simply means that Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
Eben though the Age Discrimination in the Employment Act protects workers that are 40 years and above and Benny is 57 years, it should be noted that in the states whereby sovereign immunity hasn't been waived, the state employees cannot due their employers as they're barred from doing so.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,000. He rejected several offers in the $350,000 range during the summer. Finally, on August 16, he and the purchaser signed a contract to sell for $363,000. The sale (i.e., closing) took place on September 7. The closing statement showed the following disbursements:
Real estate agent's commission $21,780
Appraisal fee 600
Exterminator's certificate 300
Recording fees 800
Mortgage to First Bank 305,000
Cash to seller 34,520
Wesley's adjusted basis for the house is $200,000. He owned and occupied the house for seven years. On October 1, 2017, Wesley purchases another residence for $325,000.
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is __________
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is ___________
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________
Answer:
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.
Explanation:
Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.
If the selling price is $800,000;
Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

Answer:
a. initial outlay = -$820,000
net cash flows years 1 - 5 = $240,000
net cash flow year 6 = $340,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator:
NPV = $217,400.87
IRR = 20.55%
b. initial outlay = -$560,000
net cash flows years 1 - 7 = $150,000
net cash flow year 8 = $206,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator:
NPV = $207,763.43
IRR = 21.65%
Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30
= 11.57%
b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is
Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% - growth rate)
so, the growth rate is 6.31%

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.
Answer:
Speedway Delivery Service

December 31, 2016 $79,500 $4,303 $73,500 $6,000
2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 8, 2012:
Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000
Cost of painting the truck = 4,000
Cost of replacing the tires = 2,500
Cost of overhauling the engine 8,000
Total costs = $79,500
Residual value = 6,000
Depreciable amount = $73,500
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation Method:
Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)
Units-of-production Method:
Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)
For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)
For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%
First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)
Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)
Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)
Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)
Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)
Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)
Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)
Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)
Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)
Locomotive Corporation is planning to repurchase part of its common stock by issuing corporate debt. As a result, the firm’s debt–equity ratio is expected to rise from 30 percent to 50 percent. The firm currently has $3.3 million worth of debt outstanding. The cost of this debt is 9 percent per year. Locomotive expects to have an EBIT of $1.32 million per year in perpetuity. Locomotive pays no taxes.
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
Equity value = Debt value / Debt to equity ratio
= 3,300,000/0.3
= 11,000,000
Market value = Debt value + Equity value
= $3,300,000 + $11,000,000
= $14,300,000
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
To solve this, we need to know the interest payment first which will be:
= $3,300,000 × 9%
= $3,300,000 × 0.09
= $297000
Return on equity will now be:
= (EBIT - interest) / Equity
= (1320000 - 297000) / 11000000
= 9.30%
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
This will be:
= Earnings before Interest / Unlevered firm value
= 1320000 / 14300000
= 9.23%
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
This will be:
= 9.23% + 50% × (9.23% - 9%)
= 9.35%
