Answer:
the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is $72,900
Explanation:
The computation of the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is given below:
Ending retained earning balance = Opening retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
= $49,000 + $55,900 - $32,000
= $72,900
hence, the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is $72,900
Portfolio Returns i. stock has mean of 8% and stdev of 20%; ii bond has mean of 6% and stdev of 15%; iii correlation b/w stock and bond of -0.3; iv. Risk free rate for cash lending and borrowing is at 1%. a. What is the mean and stdev of a portfolio of that is 60% in stock and 40% in bond (3 points)
Answer:
Portfolio Mean = 7.2%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each securityr represents the mean return of each securityPortfolio Mean = 60% * 8% + 40% * 6%
Portfolio Mean = 7.2%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated using the attached formula.
Portfolio Stdev = √(0.6)² (0.2)² + (0.4)² (0.15)² + 2(0.6) (0.4) (-0.3) (0.2) (0.15)
Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.
In an indirect message, valid reasons for the refusal are presented before the bad news. Which option is most effective? a.If we accepted your rather dated desktops and laptops, we would risk software incompatibility, high repair bills, and substantial replacement costs for missing input and output devices. b.We're very sorry but our policy does not allow us to accept donations of used computing equipment. c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Answer:
c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Explanation:
An indirect message aims to soften bad news, to achieve this goal the message is transmitted through a soothing speech, where there is an explanation of the reasons for the bad news before reaching the fact, in order to cushion the impact that the message may cause. Indirect discourse is more accepted in the case of the transmission of bad news, as individuals generally tend to better understand the facts when they are explained through evidence.
Therefore, the letter c corresponds more adequately to an indirect speech.

The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%
A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 4%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
The bond was sold at $1,136.78.
Explanation:
Annual coupon = Bond face value * Coupon rate = $1000 * 5% = $50
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) .......... (1)
Where;
r = semi-annul interest rate = 4% / 2 = 2%, or 0.02
n = number of period = 20 years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40 semi-annuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.02))^40)/0.02) = 27.3554792407382
Present value of coupon = (Annual coupon * Annual coupon discount factor) / 2 = ($50 * 27.3554792407382) / 2 = $683.886981018455
Present value of the face value of the bond = Face value / (1 + r)^n = $1,000 / (1 + 0.02)^40 = $452.890415185236
Therefore, we have:
Price of bond = Present value of coupon + Present value of the face value of the bond = $683.886981018455 + $452.890415185236 = $1,136.77739620369
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price of bond = $1,136.78
Therefore, the bond was sold at $1,136.78.

For example, the recipe and ingredients used in the manufacturing of popular soft drinks and alcoholic beverages is a trade secret that isn't known to many people around the world.
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 35 years. To do this, you will invest $710 per month in a stock account and $310 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.1 percent, and the bond account will earn 5.1 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an annual return of 6.1 percent. Assume the returns are expressed as APRs.
How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 30-year withdrawal period?
Answer:
monthly payment = $16,162.87
Explanation:
future value of stock account = $710 x= [(1 + 0.00758333)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00758333 = $2,142,045
future value of bond account = $310 x= [(1 + 0.00425)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00425 = $360,116
future value = $2,502,161
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0050833)³⁶⁰ ] / 0.0050833 = 165.019
monthly payment = $2,502,161 / 165.019 = $16,162.87
7. You are considering the possibility of replacing an existing machine that has a book value of $500,000, a remaining depreciable life of five years, and a salvage value of $300,000. The replacement machine will cost $2 million and have a ten-year life. Assuming that you use straight-line depreciation and that neither machine will have any salvage value at the end of the next ten years, how much would you need to save each year to make the change (the tax rate is 40 percent)
Answer:
$221344.48
Explanation:
Book value of existing machine = $500,000
remaining depreciable life = 5 years
salvage value = $300,000
cost of replacement machine = $2 million
depreciable life = 10 years
Tax rate = 40 %
Difference in the cost of new machine and salvage value of existing machine
= 2,000,000 - 300,000 = $1,700,000
Calculate the depreciation tax benefit of new machine = ( 500,000 / 5 ) * 0.4 = $40,000
next calculate the present value of this tax benefit
= $40000,PVAF(1.10,5years)^5 ------- ( 1 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)5 = 3.7907)
Insert value into equation 1 (to calculate the present value of the tax benefit
= 40000*3.79078676 = $1,51,631.47 ( present value of tax benefit )
Determine the Annual depreciation tax advantage of the new machine
= (2,000,000/10)*0.40 = $80,000
Determine present value of this annuity
= $80,000,PVAF(1.10,10years)^10 ------ ( 2 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)^10 ) = 6.144567
Insert value into equation2 ( to calculate the present value of this annuity )
= 80000 * 6.144567 = $491565.36
Therefore the Net cost of the new machine will be
= $491565.36 - $151631.47 - $1,700,000 = $1,360,066
Annual savings on the new machine in 10 years
= 1,360,066 / 6.144567 = $221344.48
Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40

The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

At year-end, the company declares and pays the regular $5 per share cash dividend on preferred stock and a $1.80 per share cash dividend on common stock. What is the total dividends paid by Fischer Company
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$130,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
No. of common shares outstanding
= 50,000
Dividend per share
= $1.80
No. of preferred shares outstanding
= 8,000
Dividend per share
= $5
Now,
The total dividend on common shares will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]50,000\times 1.80[/tex]
= [tex]90,000[/tex] ($)
The total dividend on preferred stock will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]8,000\times 5[/tex]
= [tex]40,000[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The total dividend paid by company will be:
= [tex]Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend \ on \ preferred \ stock[/tex]
= [tex]90,000+40,000[/tex]
= [tex]130,000[/tex] ($)

If the company uses LIFO, what is the value of the ending inventory
Answer:
Crane Company
If Crane Company uses LIFO, the value of the ending inventory is:
= $440.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1/20 inventory 150 $4.00 $600
1/15/20 Purchase, 70 5.10 357
1/28/20 Purchase, 70 5.30 371
Total 240 $1,328
1/31/20 inventory 110 $4.00 $440 ($4.00 * 110)
b) The LIFO method assumes that goods that are sold first are the last that were purchased. Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory is usually based on the cost of the earlier inventory purchased. In our case, the cost per unit was based on the beginning inventory balance.
