A firm recently issued $1,000 par value, 15-year bonds with a coupon rate of 9%. Coupon interest payments will be paid semi-annually. The bonds sold at par value, but the firm paid flotation costs amounting to 5% of par value. The firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%. What is the firm's after-tax cost of debt for these bonds?
Answer:
The firm's after cost of debt is 7.48%
Explanation:
Floatation cost increases the cost because a diminished portion of the whole amount was received.
Given that;
r = 9%
t = 21%
f = 5%
After tax cost of debt = r ( 1 - t ) / ( 1 - f )
0.09 ( 1 - 0.21 ) / 1 - 0.05 )
= 0.0711 / 0.95
=0.0748421053
= 7.48%

Supremes sell for each and incur variable costs of . The contribution margin per unit and total contribution margin for Singles and Supremes are
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
"Pizza sells an average of 150 pizzas per week, of which 20% are single-topping pizzas and 80% are supreme pizzas with multiple toppings. Singles sell for $8 each and incur variable costs of $2. Supremes sell for $12 each and incur variable costs of $6."
contribution margin for Singles = $8 - $2 = $6
contribution margin ratio for Singles = $6 / $8 = 75%
total contribution margin for Singles = $6 x 150 x 20% = $180
contribution margin for Supremes = $12 - $6 = $6
contribution margin ratio for Supremes = $6 / $12 = 50%
total contribution margin for Supremes = $6 x 150 x 80% = $720

Total Budgeted Revenue = Daytripper Budgeted Revenue + Excursion Budgeted Revenue
Therefore,
Let the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks be $y
$250,000 = 2,000 × $50 + 1.200 × $y
$150,000 = $1,200 y
$125 = y
Therefore, the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks is $125.

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Explanation:
The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n
Where,
r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturityAssuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%
Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,
n = 14 * 2 = 28
Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85

You're evaluating the performance of your pension fund. You invested $100 initially, which grew to $106 after 4 months, and then to $107 after another 6 months.
a. What was your HPR during the first 4 months?b. What was your HPR during the next 5 months?c. What was your total HPR over the 9 months?
Answer:
a) the holding period return (HPR) for the first 4 months = ($106 - $100) / $100 = 6%
b) the holding period return (HPR) for the next 5 months = ($107 - $106) / $106 = 0.94%
c) the holding period return (HPR) for the 9 months period = ($107 - $100) / $100 = 7%
The holding period return measures the total return on an investment over a certain period of time. It does not necessarily calculate annual returns, since the holding period can be more or less than 1 year.

Starset, Inc., has a target debt-equity ratio of 1.15. Its WACC is 8.6 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent.
Required:
a. If the company's cost of equity is 14 percent, what is its pretax cost of debt?
b. If instead you know that the aftertax cost of debt is 6.1 percent, what is the cost of equity?
Answer:
a. 4.94%
b. 11.48%
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.
We proceed as follows;
a. From the question;
The debt equity ratio = 1.15
since Equity = 1 ; Then
Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15
Mathematically ;
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)
Where WACC = 8.6%
Cost of equity = 14%
Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15
Pretax cost of debt = ?
Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15
Tax rate = 21% = 0.21
Substituting these values, we have;
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))
Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%
b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt
8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15
Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)
Cost of equity = 11.48%
Suppose we have the following scenario: Multiplier: 1.2 Tax Rate: 16% Increase in spending: $175 Billion Total Deficit in the previous year: $1 Trillion Based on the information provided what is the deficit that arises from the increase in spending from the government
Answer:
Deficit = $141.4 billion
Explanation:
Multiplier (K) = ΔY {GDP(income)} / ΔI {Govt spending}
ΔY = K * ΔI
ΔY = 1.2 * $175 billion
ΔY = $210 billion (income)
Tax applicable on income that generate revenue:
Revenue = 210 billion * 16%
Revenue = 210 billion * 0.16
Revenue = $33.6 billion
Deficit = Government spending - Revenue
Deficit = $175 billion - $33.6 billion
Deficit = $141.4 billion

You are considering two mutually exclusive projects with the following cash flows. Which project(s) should you accept if the discount rate is 8.5 percent? What if the discount rate is 13 percent?Year 0 1 2 3Project A -80,000 31,000 31,000 31,000Project B -80,000 0 0 110,000
Answer:
NPV Project A = - $825.31
NPV Project B = $6119.89
So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.
NPV Project A = - $6804
Npv Project B = - $3764.48
So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.
Explanation:
One of the methods to evaluate a project is to determine the NPV or Net Present Value from the project. If a project provides a positive NPV after discounting the cash flows from the project at a set discount rate, the project should be accepted. If the project gives a negative NPV, the project should be discarded.
The NPV is calculated as follows,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in year 1 and year 2 and so onr is the discount rateAt 8.5% discount rate
NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.085) + 31000/(1+0.085)^2 + 31000/(1+0.085)^3 - 80000
NPV Project A = - $825.31
NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.085)^3 - 80000
NPV Project B = $6119.89
So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.
At 13% discount rate
NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.13) + 31000/(1+0.13)^2 + 31000/(1+0.13)^3 - 80000
NPV Project A = - $6804
NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.13)^3 - 80000
Npv Project B = - $3764.48
So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

Donna, age 42 and a single taxpayer, has a salary of $104,500 and interest income of $20,000. What is the maximum amount Donna can contribute to a Roth IRA
Answer:
$5,800
Explanation:
Using 2020 limits:
Donna's AGI = $124,500 (interest income is taxed as ordinary income)
since Donna's is $500 higher than the income threshold for single taxpayers ($124,000), then her contribution to a Roth IRA is reduced by $200.
If Donna's AGI was less than $124,000, she could have contributed up to $6,000 (which is the maximum contribution allowed). Her contribution limit starts to reduce by $200 for every $500 or fraction in excess of the income threshold limit. The contribution limit phases out completely when the AGI is $139,000.
E.g. If Donna's AGI was $125,000, her contribution limit = $5,600
Builder and Owner agree that Builder will erect a fence for Owner for $1,500. Builder claims that the fence is taking longer than Builder expected, so Owner must pay Builder $500 more or Builder will not complete the fence. Owner, needing the fence completed, agrees to the additional $500. Builder completes the fence. Owner owes Builder: ________.
A. $1,500.
B. $2,000.
C. $1,000.
D. $1,750.

Initially, the Owners owes the Builder $,1500
For the fence to be completed on time, an addition of $500 was owed, upon the owner accepting this arrangement.
Thus, the total obligation owing to the Builder is $2,000.
Answer:
2000
Explanation:
Because 1500+500=2000
The following data were taken from the balance sheet of Nilo Company at the end of two recent fiscal years: Current Year Previous Year Current assets: Cash $655,500 $546,000 Marketable securities 759,000 614,300 Accounts and notes receivable (net) 310,500 204,700 Inventories 1,039,500 674,100 Prepaid expenses 535,500 430,900 Total current assets $3,300,000 $2,470,000 Current liabilities: Accounts and notes payable (short-term) $435,000 $455,000 Accrued liabilities 315,000 195,000 Total current liabilities $750,000 $650,000 a. Determine for each year (1) the working capital, (2) the current ratio, and (3) the quick ratio. Round ratios to one decimal place.
Answer:
1. Previous Year = $1,820,000, Current Year = $2,550,000
2. Previous Year = 3.80 times , Current Year = 4.40 times
3. Previous Year = 2.70 times, Current Year = 3.00 times
Explanation:
working capital = current assets - current liabilities
working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 - $650,000
= $1,820,000
working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 - $750,000
= $2,550,000
Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities
working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 ÷ $650,000
= 3.80 times
working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 ÷ $750,000
= 4.40 times
Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities
working capital (Previous Year) = ($2,470,000 - 674,100) ÷ $650,000
= 2.70 times
working capital (Previous Year) = ($3,300,000 - 1,039,500) ÷ $750,000
= 3.00 times

Dollar value of resource extraction activity = $20 billion
Dollar value of production activity = $50 billion
Dollar value of distribution activity = $80 billion
Dollar value of final output = $110 billion
Suppose that in 2017, the dollar value of distribution activity fell to $70 billion, but the other values remained the same. Based on this, we could conclude that from 2016 to 2017,
A. neither GO nor GDP were affected by the change in distribution activity.
B. GO fell by $10 billion, while GDP was unchanged.
C. GDP fell by $10 billion, while GO was unchanged.
D. GO and GDP both fell by $10 billion.
Answer: B. GO fell by $10 billion, while GDP was unchanged.
Explanation;
Gross Output is different from GDP in that where GDP only takes into account the dollar value of the final output so as to avoid double counting, the Gross Output takes into account those intermediate expenses and consumption that were used to create the final goods and services.
As such, if the dollar value of distribution activity fell to $70 billion then the Gross Ouput would also have to fall by the equivalent amount which in this case would be $10 million.
As all other values did not change, then neither did the dollar value of final output meaning that GDP did not change.
Eleanor spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2014, she earned $14.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $7.00, and the price of a donut was $1.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is 2 magazines per hour in 2014.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2014 and 2019. In 2019, Eleanor's wage has risen to $28.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is ________.
Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage ______, and the real value of her wage _________.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply nominal variables and _______ real variables.
Answer;
1. A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
When a variable is stated in nominal terms, it is usually given as a fixed monetary value because it is not adjusted for inflation. It therefore mentions just the price as is.
2. A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
When goods are described in real terms, they are related to another good in order to adjust them for inflation.
3. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is 7 donuts.
The relative price = Price of Magazine/ Price of donuts
= 14/2
= 7 donuts.
4. Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage increases, and the real value of her wage remains the same.
As a result of the increase in money supply, Eleanor's wages increased nominally from $14 to $28.
However, in real terms her wages did not increase at all because the price level in the economy increased by the same rate that her wages increased meaning that she is still only able to buy the same quantity of things.
5. Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affects nominal variables and does not affect real variables.
From Eleanor's example above, the concept of Money Neutrality is shown in that while a change in money supply will affect nominal variables, it will not affect real variables due to a general rise in prices.
Net present value method The following data are accumulated by Geddes Company in evaluating the purchase of $160,000 of equipment, having a four-year useful life: Net Income Net Cash Flow Year 1 $43,500 $83,500 Year 2 23,000 63,000 Year 3 13,500 53,500 Year 4 6,500 46,500 This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the questions below. Open spreadsheet Assuming that the desired rate of return is 12%, determine the net present value for the proposal. If required, round to the nearest dollar. Net present value $ 86,500 Would management be likely to look with favor on the proposal
Answer:
A.$32,396
B. Yes
Explanation
A. Calculation to determine the net present value for the proposal
Year Net Cash Flow Present value Discounting factor at 12% Discounted Cash Flow
1 $ 83,500.00 0.893 $ 74,565.50
2 $63,000.00 0.797 $ 50,211.00
3 $ 53,500.00 0.713 $ 38,145.50
4 $ 46,500.00 0.636 $ 29,574.00
Present value of net cash flows $ 192,496.00
Amount to be invested $ 160,000.00
Net Present Value $ 32,496
Net Present Value $ 32,496/Amount to be invested $160,000.00 =0.2031*100
=20.31%
B.Yes the management would likely to look with favor on the proposal because the net present value of 20.31% is higher than the expected rate of return of 12%.
