A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
the discount rate used for a project should reflect the risk of the project so as to make accurate predictions. if the discount rate used for a project is the same as that of the firm and the risks of the project differs, the predictions made with this project would be inaccurate. the risk adjusted discount rate has to be calculated.

Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock G that is consistent with equilibrium: expected return for Stock G = 9.5%; risk-free rate of return = 3.5%; required return for the market = 9%.
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;
Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)
9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)
6% = beta * 5.5%
beta = 6%/5.5%
beta = 1.09
Desktop Computer Company would like to calculate their cash conversion cycle. What factors are included in computing this metric?
Answer:
The answer is:
1. Days inventory outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to sell its inventories
2. Days sales outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to collect it receivables
3. Days payables outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to pay its payables.
Explanation:
Cash conversion cycle is the time(number of days) it takes a business to convert its money tied in inventory to cash through sales from customers.
In computing cash conversion cycle, the following are included:
1. Days inventory outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to sell its inventories
2. Days sales outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to collect it receivables
3. Days payables outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to pay its payables.
The formula for cash conversion cycle is Days inventory outstanding + Days sales outstanding - Days payables outstanding

MicroTech Corporation maintains a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. To finance its capital budget for next year, the firm will sell 11% coupon bonds at par value (assume no flotation costs). The firm will finance the rest of its capital expenditures with retained earnings. MicroTech expects next year's dividend to be $1.30 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. The current market value of MicroTech's common stock is $30 per share. If the firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%, what is its weighted cost of capital for next year?
Answer:
weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.
Explanation:
Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)
Ke = Cost of Equity
= Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate
= $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07
= 0.11333 or 11.33 %
Kd = Cost of Debt
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 8.69 %
Weighted cost of capital = 11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%
= 10.27 %

A sofa manufacturer can produce 10 sofas for $2,500 and 12 sofas for $2,760. What is the difference between the average cost per sofa for 12 sofas and the marginal cost of the 12th sofa
Answer:100
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Cost for 10 sofas = $2500
Cost for 12 sofas = $2760.
Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
2500 / 10 = $250 and
$2760 / 12 = $230
The average cost for 12 sofas will be $230
Marginal cost is the change in total cost divided by the change in quantity. This will be:
= ( 2760 - 2500 )/( 12 - 10 )
= 260/2
= 130
The difference between the average cost per sofa for 12 sofas and the marginal cost of the 12th sofa will be:
=230 - 130
= 100
Answer:
100
Explanation:

Products is a manufacturer of large flower pots for urban settings. The company has these standards:
Direct materials (resin) 9.6 pounds per pot at a cost of $4.55 per pound
Direct labor 1 .0 hour at a cost of $15.80 per hour
Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate $3.40 per direct labor hour
Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate $6.00 per direct labor hour
Required:
a. Compute the standard cost of each of the following inputs per pot: direct materials, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and fixed manufacturing overhead.
b. Determine the standard cost of one flower pot.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the standard production costs:
Direct materials= 9.6*4.55= $43.68
Direct labor= 1*15.80= $15.8
Variable manufacturing overhead rate= 3.40*1= $3.4
Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= 6*1= $6
Finally, the standard cost per unit:
Total unitary cost= 43.68 + 15.8 + 3.4 + 6= $68.88
Question 59 of 83 Project M requires an initial investment of $25 million. The project is expected to generate $2.25 million in after-tax cash flow each year forever. Calculate the IRR for the project. 10% 9% 8% 7%
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a project that yields cash flows perpetually, we need to divide the yearly cash flow by the project's initial outlay:
IRR = $2,250,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.09 = 9%
The IRR represents the discount rate at which the project's net present value (NPV) equals 0.
True or False: A tax cut is less likely to change the composition of labor demand than a government spending increase.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is the case because tax cuts and government spending are instruments that could be used in expansionary fiscal policy.
Note that reduced taxes usually have a direct impact on the disposable income of a economy not the composition of labor demand. Tax cuts leads directly to consumption and savings increase, resulting from increase in disposable income in the economy.
In the Vaughn Manufacturing, indirect labor is budgeted for $108000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $36000 at normal capacity of 160000 direct labor hours. If 170000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is:
Answer:Flexible budget =$ 150,750
Explanation:
Variable overhead rate = $108,000 / 160000 = $ 0.675 per hour
(budgeted supervision cost) Fixed overhead = $ 36,000
Flexible budget = Variable over head rate x direct labour + budgeted supervision cost (fixed overhead)
0.675 x 170,000+ 36,000
= 114,750+36,000
=$ 150,750
Ornaments, Inc., is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $597,000 and 26,200 shares of stock outstanding. Management believes the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $84,900 if the economy is normal. If there is a recession, EBIT will be 20 percent lower, and if there is a boom, EBIT will be 30 percent higher. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the EPS in a recession
Answer:
The EPS in a recession is $1.71.
Explanation:
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks = ($84,900 - ($84,900 × 0.34)) × 80 %
= $44,827.20
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks = 26,200 shares
Earnings per share (EPS) = $44,827.20 ÷ 26,200 shares
= $1.71
Quilcene Oysteria farms and sells oysters in the Pacific Northwest. The company harvested and sold 7,100 pounds of oysters in August. The company’s flexible budget for August appears below: Quilcene Oysteria Flexible Budget For the Month Ended August 31 Actual pounds (q) 7,100 Revenue ($4.10q) $ 29,110 Expenses: Packing supplies ($0.25q) 1,775 Oyster bed maintenance ($3,500) 3,500 Wages and salaries ($2,600 + $0.45q) 5,795 Shipping ($0.55q) 3,905 Utilities ($1,270) 1,270 Other ($450 + $0.01q) 521 Total expense 16,766 Net operating income $ 12,344 The actual results for August appear below: Quilcene Oysteria Income Statement For the Month Ended August 31 Actual pounds 7,100 Revenue $ 27,500 Expenses: Packing supplies 1,945 Oyster bed maintenance 3,360 Wages and salaries 6,205 Shipping 3,635 Utilities 1,080 Other 1,141 Total expense 17,366 Net operating income $ 10,134 Required: Calculate the company’s revenue and spending variances for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
Answer:
revenue variance = (standard quantity x standard price) - (actual quantity x actual price) = (7,100 x $4.10) - (7,100 x $3.8732) = $29,110 - $27,500 = $1,610 unfavorable (actual revenue was lower than budgeted revenue due to a decrease in sales price).
spending variances:
oyster bed maintenance variance = $3,360 - $3,500 = -$140 favorable
packing supplies variance = $1,945 - $1,775 = $170 unfavorable
wages and salaries variance = $6,205 - $5,795 = $410 unfavorable
shipping costs variance = $3,635 - $3,905 = -$270 favorable
utilities cost variance = $1,080 - $1,270 = -$190 favorable
other expenses variance = $1,141 - $521 = $620 unfavorable
total spending variance = $17,366 - $16,766 = $600 unfavorable (actual expenses were higher than budgeted)

The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) was developed as a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to know the schedule tasks and also know the critical path variation. It is useful to know the length of time that'll be needed for the completion of every task and how it relates to others in order to know the entire time needed to complete the particular project.
The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is not a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. The activity time normally varies.
You're about to buy a new car for $10,000. The dealer offers you a one-year loan where you pay $860.66 every month for the next 12 months. Since you pay $860.66 * 12 = $10,328 in total, the dealer claims that the loan's annual interest rate is (10,328-10,000)/10,000 = 3.28%. What is the actual effective annual rate?
Answer:
The actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.
Explanation:
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to an interest rate has been adjusted for compounding over specified period of time.
Effective annual rate can therefore be described as the interest rate that paid to an investor in a year after compounding has been adjusted for.
Effective annual rate can be computed using the following formula:
EAR = [(1 + (i / n))^n] - 1 .............................(1)
Where;
i = Annual interest rate claimed by the dealer = 3.28%, or 0.0328
n = Number of compounding periods or months = 12
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
EAR = [(1 + (0.0328 / 12))^12] - 1 = 0.0332976137123635
EAR = 0.0333, or 3.33% approximately.
Therefore, the actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.
Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Williamsburg Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $68,830, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the approximate amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2?
Answer:
$54,639
Explanation:
the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows
DATA
Annual payments = 68,830
Implicit rate = 8%
Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710
Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )
Year 1 Year 2
Opening balance - $177,382(w)
interest - $14,191(w)
payments $68,830 $68,830
principal payments $68,830 $54,639
closing balance $177,382(w) $122,743
Working
Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment
Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830
Closing balance = $177,382
Interest = closing balance x implicit rate
Interest = $177,382 x 8%
Interest = $14,190.56
2016 2017 2018 Net Income $1,200 ($500) $2,300 Net Cash Flows $500 $300 $2,800 Dividends $200 $0 $200 Issuance of Stock $2,000 $0 $0 The above amounts represent totals from the first three years of operations. Calculate the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
We will have to focus on the annual result and the dividends that were paid because these dividends decreases the retained earnings. There is no impact of can flow while insurance of stock falls withing result for the year.
In 2016, income was $1,200 minus dividends allocated $200
= $1,200 - $200
Retained earnings= $1,000
2017 result of ($500) without dividend distribution;
Retained earnings = ($500)
2018, result of $2,300 and distribution dividends of $200
= $2,300 - $200
Retained earnings= $2,100
Total retained earnings =$1,000 + (500) + $2,100
= $2,600

Wertz Corporation issued ten-year, 8% bonds on January 1, 2017 at a discount. During 2017, the company's accountant failed to amortize any of the bond discount. The omission of the discount amortization will
Answer:
Wertz Corporation
Omission of the discount amortization will:
increase the net income by the amount of the discount that should have been amortized in the year ended December 31, 2017.
Explanation:
Wertz's bond discount represents a loss to the corporation that should be written off over the life of the bond. If the 2017 discount amortization is omitted, the net income is increased by the amount of the discount amortization expense. This means that the income is overstated by that amount. If this omission is discovered before the issuance of the financial reports, it should be reflected in the accounts. If not, depending on its materiality, this amount must be reflected by restating the 2017 financial statements.

You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 295,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $64 per share. There are currently 3 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board?
Answer: $147,501
Explanation:
Since the company uses straight voting whereby each share gets only one vote per seat, the cost to guarantee that one will be elected to the board is;
Cost = Share price*( (shares outstanding/2) +1 )
= 64 * (( 295,000/2) + 1)
= 64 * 147,501
= $147,501
This is the cost of owning more than 50% of the shares and it will guarantee that you can vote yourself in for a seat as you will have the majority to do so.

Moorcroft’s assistant controller suggested that Moorcroft hire a part time collector to encourage customers to pay more promptly and to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts. Sales are still 40% cash and 60% credit but the assistant controller predicted that this would cause credit sales to be collected 30% in the month of the sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 18% in the second month following sale; 2% are uncollectible.Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June. How did these changes impact cash collections?
Answer:
The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:
Month Sales
April $300,000
May $320,000
June $370,000
Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400
Total cash collections during June = $343,000
Since the cost of the part time collector is $1,000 per month, and the total uncollectible accounts reduce from 4% to 2%, which represents $7,400 for June's sales, I would recommend hiring the collector.

The McDonald's fast-food restaurant on campus sells an average of 4,000 quarter-pound hamburgers each week. Hamburger patties are resupplied twice a week, and on average the store has 350 pounds of hamburger in stock. Assume that the hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound.
Required:
a. What is the inventory turnover for the hamburger patties?
b. On average, how many days of supply are on hand?
Answer:
a. 148.57 for the year.
b. 2.45 days
Explanation:
a. Each hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound and 4,000 quater pounds are supplied per week. 4 quater pounds make up 1 pound so;
= 4,000/4
= 1,000 pounds are supplied per week.
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold for the year/ Average Inventory
= ( Pounds per week * cost per pound * number of weeks in year)/ Average inventory
= ( 1,000 * 1 * 52) / 350
= 148.57 for the year.
b. Average Days of Supply = Average Inventory/cost of goods sold
= 350/( 1,000 * 1 * 52)
= 0.00673 per year
To convert to days multiply by;
= 0.006730 * 52 weeks * 7 days
= 2.44972
= 2.45 days
As a result of a decrease in the demand for U.S. dollars, there has been depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Jamaican dollars. The depreciation in the U.S. dollar has benefitted some groups but harmed others. Indicate which of the groups are winners and which are losers from the standpoint of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
A. Todd, an American, going to visit Jamaica for spring break.
B. An investment bank in Jamaica that is interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds.
C. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires in Jamaica.
D. A family from Jamaica visiting relatives in the U.S. E. A firm from Jamaica selling handbags in the U.S.
F. U.S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is purchasing a high tech company in Jamaica.
Answer;
A. Todd, an American, going to visit Jamaica for spring break. - Loser
The US dollar depreciating means that it now takes more US dollars to buy Jamaican dollars. Todd will afford less Jamaican dollars when he goes to Jamaica.
B. An investment bank in Jamaica that is interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds. - Winner
The Investment bank will see that their domestic currency is stronger than it was therefore they can buy more US dollars. As a result it will be cheaper for the Investment bank to buy U.S. Government bonds.
C. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires in Jamaica. - Winners.
Goodyear will be winners because when they sell their tires in Jamaican dollars and then convert it to USD, they will.get more dollars from the transaction than before.
D. A family from Jamaica visiting relatives in the U.S. - Winners
As the Jamaican family will be able to buy more US dollars than before, they are winners.
E. A firm from Jamaica selling handbags in the U.S. - Losers.
As the firm sells in the US, they sell in US dollars. When they try to convert their sales to Jamaican dollars, they will get less than before.
F. U.S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is purchasing a high tech company in Jamaica. - Losers.
The depreciation of the US dollar means than HP will have to spend more dollars purchasing the company than before because the purchase price of the company will be stated in Jamaican dollars.
