A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400 over each of the next five years, respectively. What is the project's payback period?

Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400

The payback period is the time required to recover for the initial investment:

Year 1= 6,600 - 27,250= -20,650

Year 2= 8,700 - 20,650= -11,950

Year 3= 9,100 - 11,950= -2,850

Year 4= 8,000 - 2,850= 5,150

To be more accurate:

(2,850/8,000)*365= 130

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Company ABC is required to pay their customers $20,000 after 3 years. Based on an annual effective interest rate of 4%, Andy, the company’s actuary, uses full immunization strategy to construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond. Calculate the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met.

Answers

Answer:

Par amount = $9,615.39

Explanation:

The condition that must hold in order to meet full immunization are as follows:

Condition 1: PV(assets) = PV(liabilities)

Condition 2: MD(assets) = MD(liabilities) or P'assets = P'liabilities

Condition 3: There is one asset cash inflow before the liability cash outflow, and there is also one asset cash inflow after the liability cash outflow.

Where PV denotes Present Value and MD denotes Macaulay Duration.

PV(liabilities) = Amount required to pay / (1 + i)^n ............ (1)

Where;

Amount required to pay = $20,000

i = interest rate = 4%

n = number of years after = 3 years

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV(liabilities) = $20,000 / (1 + 4%)^3 = 17,779.93

Let;

A = Weight of two-year-zero-coupon bond in the portfolio

n = Macaulay Duration of n-year-zero-coupon bond

Therefore, we can construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond as follows:

A(2) + (1 – A)(4) = 3

2A + 4 – 4A = 3

2A – 4A = 3 – 4

-2A = - 1

A = -1/-2

A = 0.5

We can now calculate the par amount as follows:

Par amount = PV(liabilities) * A * (1 + i)^t .............. (2)

Where t = 2 as the duration of the bond

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * (1 + 4%)^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.04^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.0816

Par amount = $9,615.39

Therefore, the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met is $9,615.39.

erekes Manufacturing Corporation has prepared the following overhead budget for next month.

What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 3,100 machine-hours rather than 3,200 machine-hours

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable overhead= $45,760

Total fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead cost= $75,360

First, we need to calculate the  variable predetermined overhead rate:

Variable predetermined overhead rate= 45,760/3,200= $14.3 per machine hour

Now, for 3,100 hours:

Variable overhead= 14.3*3,100= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

Downtown Bancshares has 40,000 shares of $8 par common stock outstanding. Suppose Downtown declares and distributes a 16% stock dividend when the market value of its stock is $20 per share.
1. Journalize Downtown's declaration and distribution of the stock dividend on May 11. An explanation is not required.
2. What was the overall effect of the stock dividend on Downtown's total assets? On total liabilities?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The journal entry is shown below:

Retained earnings Dr (40,000 shares × 16% × $20) $128,000

         To Common stock   (40,000 shares × 16% × $8) $51,200

         To Paid in capital in excess of par value - common stock $76,800

(Being the declaration and the stock distribution is recorded)

2. Since the retained earnings is debited which reduced the equity by $128,000 but at the same time it also increased the equity via common stock and paid in capital by $128,000 so the overall effect should be NIL or zero

Also the assets and liabilities remains unaffected

The ______ rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund

Answers

Answer:

nominal

Explanation:

There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.

Answer: Managed Float

Explanation:

Also called "Dirty Float", the Managed float is an exchange rate system that allows for the currency of a country to be set by the forces of demand and supply in the market.

However, unlike in a clean float,  the Central bank will occasionally intervene in the market to influence the how fast the currency is changing value or to control the direction it is going.

Answers

Answer: Liabilities =$38,000

Explanation: An asset whether tangible or intangible is a source of value to a company examples are Cash, investments, accounts receivables etc

Liabilities are referred to the debts owed to a company or buisness at a particular period eg bank debts, tax owed, wages owed etc.

Equity is the measure of value of a company"s asset eg  Common stock, retained earnings, , preferred stock etc.

The three above are related using the equation below

Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Total Liabilities = Assets - Equity

Total asset = Cash + Account receivables = 26,000+42,000=68,000

Total equity = Common stock + retained earnings = 18,000+12000=30,000

Total liabilities =Total asset -total equity

= 68,000-30,000

= $38,000

You have an annuity which pays $1,200 every two years. The first payment is two years from now and the last payment is ten years from now. You can trade that annuity for another annuity of equivalent present value, which pays $180 per quarter starting today. The interest rate for both annuities is 4% per annum convertible quarterly. If you took the second annuity, how many quarterly payments would you receive? The last payment may be less than $180 but not more than $180.

Answers

Answer:

31 payments

Explanation:

the present value of the first annuity is:

$1,200 / (1 + 1%)⁸ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)¹⁶ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)²⁴ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)³² + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)⁴⁰ = $1,108.18 + $1,023.39 + $945.08 + $872.76 + $805.98 = $4,755.39

to determine the length of the second annuity:

PV = annuity payment x annuity factor

annuity factor = PV / annuity payment = $4,755.39 / $180 = 26.4188333

using an annuity table we must look for a present value annuity factor that corresponds to 1% interest rate and is close to 26.4188333

the annuity factor is between 30 and 31 payments. Since the final payment has to be less or equal to $180, we have to choose 31 payments.

Answers

Answer:

a.) reorder point = 2,640 units

b.) reorder point = 5,280 units (reorder point doubles)

c.) reorder point = 1,320 units (reorder point drops in half)

Explanation:

Reorder point is the inventory level (point) at which action is taken (order placed) to replenish the stocked item. It is calculated as follows:

Reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock

Lead time = 24 days

average daily sales = 110 units

safety stock = 0 (not given)

a.) reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock

reorder point = (24 × 110) + 0 = 2,640 units

b.) if demand during lead time doubles:

lead time = 24 days

average daily sales = (110 × 2) = 220

∴ reorder point = 220 × 24 = 5,280 units

Therefore the reorder point doubles

c.) if demand during lead time drops in half:

lead time = 24 days

average daily demand = (110 ÷ 2) = 55 units

∴ reorder point = 24 × 55 = 1,320 units

Therefore the reorder point drops in half.

Assume that interest rates on 20-year Treasury and 20-year corporate bonds are as follows T-bond = 3.72% AAA = 4.12% A = 4.64% BB = 5.18% The differences in these rates were probably caused primarily by:

Answers

Answer: Default risk differences.

Explanation:

The Default risk is the inherent risk a lender faces that a borrower will not pay them back the debt they want to borrow. The lender will therefore charger a high return to cater for this risk. The higher the risk, the higher the return charged.

T-bonds have no default risk because they are guaranteed by the US Government which is why it's rate is the lowest. For the other bonds, there is something called a Credit rating. Bonds are usually rated on how risky it will be to lend to the company borrowing with AAA being of the lowest risk. Therefore as one goes up from AAA, the bonds will have higher default risks.

A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 9.6%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.

Solution

Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium

Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%

Cost of equity = 9.6%

If a company uses straight-line depreciation, the annual average investment can be calculated as: (Check all that apply.)

Answers

Answer: beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

(the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

(beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation is simply when an asset begin to wear and tear and thereby its value is reduced.Straight line depreciation is calculated when the difference between the cost of an asset and the expected salvage value is divided by the number of years it is projected to be used.

Using this method, the annual average investment can be calculated as:

• beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Use the following to answer the questions.
​Star Supplies, Inc. manufactures commercial-grade floor cleaners, such as vacuums and floor polishers. The firm has recently begun manufacturing other janitorial-related product lines, such as paper products and chemical cleaners. Star Supplies distributes its products in two ways. It sells its vacuum, floor polisher, and janitorial supply products to an independent business that takes title to the products and then sells them to various small businesses throughout the region. Also, Star has a list of large businesses that it distributes to directly, on an as-needed basis. These businesses keep very little inventory and purchase janitorial supplies in small quantities. Recently, Star has decided to add two new service product lines-paper shredding and a uniform rental service. Clint Rodriguez, the marketing manager, is conducting a meeting to discuss the ways in which Star can strategically manage these new businesses. Star has the choice of marketing the paper shredding service to their large business clients, by picking up the paper as they drop off the other janitorial supplies, or they can buy a small paper shredding business and market to both large and small business customers. With regard to the uniform rental service, Star can either pick up and deliver the uniforms to the small businesses themselves, or contract that out to a third party.
Refer to scenario Currently, Star is using the ____ approach to distributing its janitorial supplies to its large customers.
A. intensive
B. just-in-time
C. segmented
D. outsourcing
E. exclusive

Answers

Answer:

B. just-in-time

Explanation:

Just in time (JIT) is an inventory management approach that is used by companies that want to reduce their inventory costs and they purchase their materials in smaller quantities whenever their productive system needs them. The goal is to keep the lowest possible inventory levels.

A project has cash flows of -152,000, 60,800, 62300, and 75000 for years 0 to 3 respectively. The required rate of return is 13 years percent. Based on the internal rate of return of__________percent, you should________the project.

Answers

Answer:

Based on the IRR of 14.05 percent, you  should be accept the project

Explanation:

Internal rate of Return is the discount rate of that equates the present value of cash inflows to the initial cost. It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to evaluate a project without causing harm to the shareholders.

It is calculated as follows:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of cash inflows - initial cost

Step 1: NPVa at 13% discount rate

PV of cash inflow =  60,800× 1.13^(-1) + 62300 ×1.13^(-2) +   75000 ×1.13^(-3)

                           =  154,574.11  

NPVa =  154,574.11   - 152000 =  2,574.11  

Step 2: NPVb  at 20%

PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.20^(-1) + 62300 ×1.20^(-2) +   75000 ×1.20^(-3)   =  137,333.33  

NPVb =  137,333.33   - 152,000 =  (14,666.67)

Step 3: IRR

IRR = 13% + ( 2,574.11  /(2,574.11  + 14,666.67) )× (20-13)%

IRR = 14.05%

Based on the IRR of 14.05%, the project you  should be accept the project

Since the IRR (14.05%) is greater than the required rate rate (13%) , the project should be accepted. An IRR which is  higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would increase the wealth of the shareholders

Choose three organizations that you believe have had the greatest impact on the current state of safety and health programs in the United States. Summarize the purpose of each organization, and discuss how you believe you can use these organizations to improve your ability to perform your duties as a safety and health professional.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three organizations would be OSHA, NIOSH, and NACOSH.

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It tries to ensure that the workers labor under the proper safety and health conditions in their workplace.

NIOSH stands for the National Instituto for Occupational Safety and Health. This organization basically is dedicated to researching to know the working conditions of workers in America and make recommendations.

NACOSH stands for the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health. It functions as an adviser or counselor to the Department of Labor on safety and security issues.

These three can definitely be used to improve my ability to perform my duties as a safety and health professional in that they include a series of recommendations, programs, and educational tips to be applied in the workplace and diminish the possibility of accidents or how to react in case of one.

For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are: Equality of opportunity for youth and for others. Jobs for those who can work. Security for those who need it. The ending of special privilege for the few The preservation of civil liberties for all. The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living. These are the simple, basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations. Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement. As examples: We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance. We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care. We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may obtain it. I have called for personal sacrifice. I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call. A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation. If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause. In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expressioneverywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own wayeverywhere in the world. The third is freedom from wantwhich, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitantseverywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fearwhich, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighboranywhere in the world. That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. To that new order we oppose the greater conceptionthe moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear. Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in changein a perpetual peaceful revolutiona revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditionswithout the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society. This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory. Which of the following best summarizes Roosevelt's list of four essential human freedoms? (4 points) All U.S. citizens should have the same civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. As many Americans as possible should have access to things like pensions and good medical care. Everyone in the world should be able to speak and worship freely and live without poverty or fear. Everyone in the world should have access to social security and employment.
