Which method of evaluating capital investment proposals uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from the net cash flows
Answer:
Internal rate of return
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is that return in which the net present value equivalent to zero
i.e.
Net present value = 0
That means
Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows after charging the discounting factor like 10% 12% etc
So as per the given situation, the internal rate of return is the correct answer

1. What is the company's cost of equity?
2. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
3. What is the company's weight of equity?
4. What is the company's weight of debt?
5. What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %
Purvis Manufacturing, which produces a single product, has prepared the following standard cost sheet for one unit of the product. Direct materials (6 pounds at $2 per pound) $12 Direct labor (2 hours at $12 per hour) $24 During the month of April, the company manufactures 300 units and incurs the following actual costs.
Direct materials purchased and used (1,850 pounds) $4,070
Direct labor (620 hours) $7,130
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor. Identify whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable?
Answer:
1. Actual Quantity = 1,850 pounds
Actual materials cost = $4,070
Standard rate per pound = $2
Standard Quantity = 6 pounds per unit * 300 units
Standard Quantity = 1,800
Standard materials cost = Standard Quantity * Standard rate per pound
Standard materials cost = 1,800 * $2
Standard materials cost = $3,600
1a. Total Materials Variance = Actual materials cost - Standard materials cost
Total Materials Variance = $4,070 - $3,600
Total Materials Variance = $470 Unfavorable
1b. Materials Price Variance = Actual materials cost - Actual Quantity * Standard rate per pound
Materials Price Variance = $4,070 - 1,850 * $2
Materials Price Variance = $370 Unfavorable
1c. Materials Quantity Variance = Standard rate per pound * (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)
Materials Quantity Variance = $2.00 * (1,850 - 1,800)
Materials Quantity Variance = $100 Unfavorable
2. Actual labor hours = 620
Actual labor cost = $7,130
Standard rate per hour = $12
Standard labor hours = 2 hours per unit * 300 units
Standard labor hours = 600
Standard labor cost = Standard labor hours * Standard rate per hour
Standard labor cost = 600 * $12
Standard labor cost = $7,200
2a. Total Labor Variance = Actual Labor cost - Standard Labor cost
Total Labor Variance = $7,130 - $7,200
Total Labor Variance = $70 Favorable
2b. Labor Price Variance = Actual Labor cost - Actual labor hours * Standard rate per hour
Labor Price Variance = $7,130 - 620 * $12
Labor Price Variance = $310 Favorable
2c. Labor Quantity Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Actual labor hours - Standard labor hours)
Labor Quantity Variance = $12.00 * (620 - 600)
Labor Quantity Variance = $240 Unfavorable
McConnel corporation has bonds on the market with 16.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.7 percent, a par value of 1000 and current price of 1065. The bonds make semiannual payment and have a par value of $1,000.Required:What must the coupon rate be on these bonds?
Answer:
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n)= 16.5 * 2 = 33
r or YTM = 7.7% * 1/2 = 3.85% or 0.0385
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Using the bond price formula and the available values, we calculate the coupon rate to be,
1065 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.0385)^-33) / 0.0385] + 1000 / (1+0.0385)^33
1065 = x * (18.50739407) + 287.4653284
1065 - 287.4653284 = x * 18.50739407
777.5346716 / 18.50739407 = x
x = 42.012 rounded off to $42.01
If the semi annual coupon payment is $42.01, the annual coupon payment will be 42.01 * 2 = $84.02
The coupon rate on bonds is = 84.02 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 78,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,500 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 6,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year
Answer:
77,500 units
Explanation:
Projected sales = 78,000 machines
Opening inventory = 6,500 units
Closing inventory = 6,000 units
We will use the formulae below to calculate Budgeted production in unit.
Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Production - Sales
6,000 = 6,500 + Production - 78,000
Production = 6,000 - 6,500 + 78,000
= 77,500 units.
Therefore, Budgeted production is 77,500 units

Answer:
Stock price = $53.28
Explanation:
DATA
Earnings = $1,480,000
Shares outstanding = 500,000
P/E ratio = 18
Stock price = ?
he firm's expected stock price for year 3 can be calculated by using Price earning ratio formula
Formula:
P/E ratio = Stock price / EPS
Stock price = P/E ratio x EPS
Stock price = 18 x $2.96(w)
Stock price = $53.28
Workings
EPS = Earning per share
EPS = Earning /Shares
EPS = $1,480,000 /500,000
EPS = $2.96
You put up $40 at the beginning of the year for an investment. The value of the investment grows 5% and you earn a dividend of $4.50. Your HPR was ____. A. 5.0% B. 4.5% C. 11.3% D. 16.3%
Answer:
16.3%
Explanation:
$40 was put at the beginning of the year for an investment
The investment grows by 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The dividend is $4.50
The first step is to calculate the dividend yield
= $4.50/40
= 0.1125
Therefore, the HPR can be calculated as follows
= 0.1125+0.05
= 0.163×100
= 16.3%
Hence the HPR was 16.3%

"A customer opens a margin account by purchasing 300 shares of XYZ stock at $80 per share and deposits the required margin. If the stock declines in value by 25%, the customer's equity in the account will:"
Answer:
Equity will increased by 50%
Explanation:
Given:
Number of stock = 300
Per share value = $80
Stock value decline = 25%
Find:
Customer's equity will ?
Computation:
Market value = 300 × $80 = $24,000
New market value = $24000 × (100% - 25%) = $18,000
Margin = $24000 × 50% = $12,000
Credit balance = $24,000 (100% / 75%)
Credit balance = $24,000 + $12,000
Credit balance = $36,000
Equity % = [Credit balance - New market value / Credit balance]100
Equity % = [($36,000 - $18,000) / $18,000]100
Equity will increased by 50%

A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2%, what will happen to the price of the bond?
Answer:
The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.
Explanation:
bond's current market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35
$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54
current market price = $3,928.89
if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80
$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01
current market price = $3,856.81
Assuming that the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the a.fixed factory overhead volume variance b.direct labor rate variance c.variable factory overhead controllable variance d.direct labor time variance
Answer: a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.
Explanation:
Fixed overhead costs are the costs that are incurred by an organization that doesn't change even when the lre is a change in the volume of production activity. The fixed overhead costs are vital in order for the effective operation of the company.
When the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.
Variance is the data analysis tool that helps in measuring the gap between the actual and budgeted or the standard data. The standards are set based on past records and performances. There are various types of variances such as cost variance, efficiency variance, rate variance, volume variance, and many more.
The cost of available but unused productivity capacity is indicated by fixed factory overhead volume variance.
When the standard fixed overhead rate or can be said as the fixed overhead cost is constant and remains at full capacity irrespective of the changes in the volume of production activity.
In this case, the cost of productive capacity can be determined by using the fixed factory overhead volume variance. This is because it determines the difference between the fixed cost based upon the budgets and the production capacity.

a. Compute the inventory turnover ratio (ITR). (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Inventory turnover ratio ......... per year
b. Compute the weeks of supply (WS). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round to 1 decimal place.)
Weeks of supply ........
Answer:
a. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Aggregate Inventory Value
Inventory turnover ratio = $322,000 / $42,500 + $37,000 + $12,500
Inventory turnover ratio = $322,000 / $92,000
Inventory turnover ratio = 3.5
Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio is 3.5
b. Weeks of supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value / Cost of Goods Sold * 52 (weeks)
Weeks of supply = $42,500 + $37,000 + $12,500 / $322,000 * 52
Weeks of supply = $92,000 / $322,000 * 52 weeks
Weeks of supply = 14.85 weeks
Therefore, the weeks of supply is 14.85 weeks
Red Sun Rising just paid a dividend of $2.43 per share. The company said that it will increase the dividend by 15 percent and 10 percent over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 4.1 percent. If the required return is 11.5 percent, what is the stock price today
Answer:
P0 = $39.76
Explanation:
The dividend discount model or DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (1+r)^2 +
[ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) * (1+g3) / (r - g3)) / (1+r)^2 ]
Where,
g1 is the growth rate in the first year which is 15% g2 is the growth rate in the second year which is 10% g3 is the constant growth rate which is 4.1% r is the required rate of return P0 is the stock price today
P0 = 2.43 * (1+0.15) / (1+0.115) + 2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.115)^2 +
[ (2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.041) / (0.115 - 0.041)) / (1+0.115)^2 ]
P0 = $39.76

Explanation:
This can be calculated as using the formula for calculating the average rate of return as follows:
Average rate of return = Average annual income / Average investment in equipment .................. (1)
To use equation (1), we first calculate the following:
Annual cost saving = $20,210
Annual depreciation = (Equipment cost - Residual value) / Useful number of years = ($85,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,800
Annual operating and energy costs = $4,130
Average annual income = Annual cost saving - Annual depreciation - Annual operating and energy costs = $20,210 - $7,800 - $4,130 = $8,280
Average investment in equipment = (Equipment cost + Residual value) / 2 = $46,000
Substituting the values for Average annual income and Average investment in equipment into equation (1), we have:
Average rate of return = $8,280 / $46,000 = 0.18, or 18%
To be registered as a broker-dealer, the Administrator typically requires the posting of a surety bond in the amount of:
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Most of the time the Administrator requires a posting of a $10,000 surety bond to be registered as a broker-dealer, due to the Uniform Securities act but each separate state administrator can change this amount to what they seem fit. A surety bond makes sure that the individual assumes responsibility for that amount of debt obligation if the borrower defaults on the payment.

Lucas Corp. has a debt-equity ratio of .8. The company is considering a new plant that will cost $115 million to build. When the company issues new equity, it incurs a flotation cost of 8.5 percent. The flotation cost on new debt is 4 percent.
A. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company raises all equity externally?
B. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company typically uses 55 percent retained earnings?
C. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company typically uses 100 percent retained earnings?
Answer:
$122,475,000; $119,489,600; $117,047,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of new plant = $115m
Debt to equity ratio =. 0.8
After issuing new equity:
Floatation cost incurred (equity) = 8.5%
Floatation on new debt = 4%
Calculating weighted return of debt and equity:
Debt: = [0.8/(1 + 0.8)] × 4% = 0.0178
Equity : [1 / (1+ 0.8)] * 8.5% = 0.0472
A) all equity raised externally:
Weighted average Floatation cost:
0.0178 + 0.0472 = 0.065
Initial cash flow will the be :
(1 + 0.065) * cost of new plant
1.065 * $115,000,000 = $122,475,000
B.) company uses 55% Retained earning:
Weighted return on equity will the be :
0.0472 * (1 - 55%) = 0.02124
Weighed Floatation cost = 0.02124 + 0.0178 = 0.03904
(1+0.03904) * $115,000,000 = $119,489,600
C.) Company uses 100% Retained earnings :
Equity return will be 0%
(1 + 0.0178) * 115000000
= $117,047,000
Concord Corporation has 34000 units in beginning finished goods. If sales are expected to be 140000 units for the year and Concord desires ending finished goods of 40000 units, how many units must the company produce
Answer:
146,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of units must the company produce is shown below:-
As we know that
Units sold = opening inventory + units produced - Closing inventory
So,
Units Produced = Units sold - opening inventory + Closing inventory
= 140,000 - 34,000 + 40,000
= 146,000 units
Hence, the number of units produced by the company is 146,000 units
A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?
Answer:
24.82%
Explanation:
Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations
Let x = the stock return for year 5
12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5
Multiply both sides by 5
63.55% = (5.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x)
63.55% = 38.73% + x
x = 63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
The understatement of the ending inventory balance causes: Multiple Choice Cost of goods sold to be understated and net income to be overstated. Cost of goods sold to be overstated and net income to be correct. Cost of goods sold to be overstated and net income to be understated.
