Since the 1980s and 1990s, segmentation in global financial markets has been reduced. As a result of this, the correlation among securities markets has increased, thereby reducing, but not eliminating, the benefits of international portfolio diversification. True or Worse

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

With the on-going drive towards Globalization, companies took advantage to raise more capital by listing across various stock exchanges in the world. The result of this became that the securities market became more correlated.

This had the advantage of granting many companies enough capital that they became Multinational companies but it had the disadvantage of reducing the benefits of international portfolio diversification because the companies would be able to influence the movement of stock across the nations that they are listed in. Where before you could trade in Japan if there were losses in the NYSE, with a company being on both and suffering, both exchanges would feel it.

Answer:

a) $94.88

b)  in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks should increase to $109.11

Explanation:

year                      dividend              EPS

0                              0                       $10

1                               0                       $12

2                              0                       $14.40

6                              $11.45               $28.61568

growth rate up to year 5 = 20%

ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%

dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%

cost of equity = 15%

horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83

current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88

intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11

The estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share is $94.88. Also, in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks will increase to $109.11.

Based on the information given, the dividend and the earnings per share are given below:

year                     dividend             EPS

0                              0                       $10

6                              $11.45               $28.616

Growth rate up to year 5 = 20%ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%Cost of equity = 15%

Therefore, the dividend growth rate starting year 6 will be:

= 15% x (1 - 40%)

= 15% × 60%

= 9%

Therefore, the horizon value at year 5 will be:

= $11.45 / (15% - 9%)

= $11.45 / 6%

= $190.83

Then, the current intrinsic value per stock will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁵

= $94.88

The intrinsic price in 1 year will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁴

= $109.11

Answers

Answer: d. forgoing the development costs and risks associated with opening up a foreign market.

Explanation:

Franchising is a way of expanding a business by allowing another company to sell the products of the expanding company and pay them for it.

It works by the Expanding company (franchisor) providing their skills, technical know-how and allowing the franchisee to use their image rights to sell products.

This is a cheap way of expanding in foreign markets because the franchisor does not have to spend money starting up in that country and developing a business from scratch. It can simply license another company that is already there to sell for it thereby avoiding risks of setting up anew in a foreign market.

b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $38,000

Unitary cost= $7

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $31,000

Unitary cost= $11

Revenue per unit= $19

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the  following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Machine A:

Break-even point in units= 38,000 / (19 - 7)

Break-even point in units= 3,167

Machine B:

Break-even point in units= 31,000 / (19 - 11)

Break-even point in units= 3,875

Now, we need to determine the indifference point:

Machine A= 38,000 + 7x

Machine B= 31,000 + 11x

x= number of units

We will equal both formulas and isolate x:

38,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x

7,000 = 4x

1,750=x

Indifference point= 1,750 units

Finally, the total cost for 10,000 units:

Machine A= 38,000 + 7*10,000= $108,000

Machine B= 31,000 + 11*10,000= $141,000

"What action is the Federal Reserve MOST likely to take if it is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion?"

Answers

Answer: Increase reserve requirements

Explanation:

Reserve requirements refer to the proportion of deposits that banks are required to leave with the Fed for safekeeping and the protections of depositors.

This amount reduces the amount of money that the banks can give out as loans and so is quite useful in monetary policy.

If the Fed is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion, the way to rein this in is to embark on a contractionary monetary policy.

One way to do so is to increase the reserve requirement which would mean that banks have to hold more money. Should this happen then the money supply in the economy would decrease which would ideally decrease inflation and reduce the funds available for both investment and consumption which would lead to a decrease in economic activity as well.

Answers

Answer:

3.8%

Explanation:

There are some important parts missing:

Suppose over the next year Ball has a return of 12.5%, Lowes has a return of 21%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%.

We must first determine the weight of each stock in the portfolio:

ABT = ($50 x 200) / $20,000 = 50%LOW = ($30 x 200) / $20,000 = 30%BLL = ($40 x 100) / $20,000 = 20%

the expected return of the portfolio = (ABT x return) + (LOW x return) + (BLL x return) = (50% x -0.1) + (30% x 0.21) + (20% x .125) = -5% + 6.3% + 2.5% = 3.8%

Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:

Answers

Answer:

Initial value of building = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000

Explanation:

The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.

The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.

The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:

Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)

Where, from the questio;

Lump-sum price = $9,000,000

FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:

Building fair value = $4,500,000

Land fair value = $3,000,000

Land fair value  = $2,500,000

TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:

Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000

If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $420 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,460 per year for four years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3, to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the machine. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the machine user, as opposed to the machine owner.) If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Answers

Answer:

Sloan Corporation

Differential Analysis:

Cost of Alternative 1 (Lease) - $1,460.00

Cost of Alternative 2 (Buy) = $1,332.50

Choose Alternative 2, purchase the equipment, and there will be a cost saving of $127.50 per year.

Explanation:

Buy Decision:

Cost of purchase = $3,040

Freight-in                      610

Total cost               $3,650

Annual equipment cost =     $912.50

Annual Repair cost =              420.00

Total annual cost to buy = $1,332.50

Cost of Lease per year = $1,460

Sloan Corporation's differential analysis of the lease or buy decision shows that it would be more profitable to purchase the equipment than to lease.  With a purchase decision, the cost savings will be $127.50 per year.  By undertaking this differential analysis, Sloan Corporation is able to determine the alternative that will serve its best interest, especially in terms of cost.

If, because of an externality, the economically efficient output is Q2 and not the current equilibrium output of Q1, what does D1 represent?

Answers

Answer:

Hello attached below is the complete question

D1 represents the demand curve reflecting private benefits  ( c )

Explanation:

The effects of an externality is positive( shift of the demand curve to the right ) when  the production of goods and service has a positive effect on the consumers ( people that are not involved in the production process ). this positive effect will lead to an increase in quantity demanded as well from consumers.

The curve ( D1 ) does not represent the social benefits for the consumers but represents the demand curve reflecting private benefits,

When preparing government-wide financial statements,the modified accrual basis governmental funds are adjusted for all of the following events except?
A) Change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year
B) Long-term debt related events
C) Internal service fund activities
D) Interfund activities

Answers

Answer: Change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year

Explanation:

It should be noted that when preparing government-wide financial statements, the modified accrual basis governmental funds are adjusted for the long-term debt related events, the internal service fund activities and the interfund activities.

Therefore the correct option is A as th modified accrual basis government funds are not adjusted for the change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year.

Consider the production function
Y = (K)^1/2 (N)^1/2
where Y is output, K is capital, and N is the number of workers (abor)
When K = 46 and N = 82, output is ________ (Round your response to two decimal places.)
If both capital and labor double, given the production function, output will _________.
If output doubles when inputs double, the production function will be characterized by:_________.
A. constant returns to scale
B. decreasing returns to scale.
C. increasing returns to scale.
D. none of the above.

Answers

Answer:

Requirement 1: Production Output will be 61.42 Units.

Requirement 2: Production Output will be doubled.

Requirement 3: Constant Returns to Scale

Explanation:

Requirement 1:

The output at K=46 and N=82 is given as under:

Y = (46)^1/2  *  (82)^1/2

Y = 61.42 Units

Requirement 2:

Now if we double "K" and "N" then:

Y' = (2K)^1/2  *  (2N)^1/2

Y' = 2 [(K)^1/2  *  (N)^1/2]

Y' = 2Y

This means that the output will be doubled.

Requirement 3:

Option A. Constant Returns to Scale

Constant returns to scale occurs when the increase in the input causes same proportional increase in the production output. Such same proportional increase in the production output is referred to as Constant Returns to Scale.

In the given scenario, as the production output doubles with the doubling of input which was seen in the requirement above. We can say that the production function is characterized by Constant Returns to Scale.

Hsung Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $175, 846, net annual cash flows $37, 300, and present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years 5.02 (rounded). (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).)
Determine the net present value, and indicate whether the investment should be made?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $11400

As the NPV from the project is positive, the investment should be made.

Explanation:

The NPV or net present value is an important metric that is used for project and investment evaluation. The NPV is the present value of the series of cash flows provided by the project less the initial cost incurred to undertake the project. NPV can be calculated as follows,

NPV = (Annual Cash Flow * Present value factor) - Initial cost

NPV = (37300 * 5.02)  -  175846

NPV = $11400

As the NPV from the project is positive, the investment should be made.

Suppose the real interest rate is 2.8%, and the inflation rate is 7%. (1) How much do you need to invest now in order to get $100 in a year? Please show two approaches to calculate the answers. (Round your final answer to two decimal places) (2) Suppose the U.S. Treasury issues 5% coupon, 3-year TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). What are the real cash flows on the 3-year TIPS each year? What are the nominal cash flows on the 3-years TIPS each year? (Round your final answers to two decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

1)

approach 1, using the approximate real and nominal interest rates:

nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate = 2.8% + 7% = 9.8%

present value = $100 / (1 + 9.8%) = $91.07

approach 2, using the exact real and nominal interest rates:

(1 + i) = (1 + r) × (1 + π)

(1 + i) = (1 + 2.8%) x (1 + 7%) = 1.09996

i = 1.09996 - 1 = 0.09996 = 9.996%

present value = $100 / (1 + 9.996%) = $90.91

2)

assuming a $1,000 TIPS, nominal cash flow year 1 = $50

new face value = $1,070

nominal cash flow year 2 = $53.50

new face value = $1,144.90

nominal cash flows year 3 = $57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07) = $1,282.29

assuming a $1,000 TIPS, real cash flow year 1 = $50 / 1.07 = $46.73

new face value = $1,070

real cash flow year 2 = $53.50 / 1.07² = $46.73

new face value = $1,144.90

real cash flows year 3 = [$57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07)] / 1.07³ = $1,282.29 / 1.07³ = $1,046.73

ABC Corporation has the following information: Total market value of a company’s stock: $650 million Total market value of the company’s debt: $150 million Cost of Equity: 10% Cost of Debt: 8% Corporate tax rate is 35 percent What is the WACC of ABC Corporation?

Answers

Answer:

WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%

Explanation:

WACC = Kd * (1+T) * Debt/Debt+Equity + Ke * Debt/Equity

Kd = Cost of debt

T = Corporate tax rate

WACC = 0.08*(1-0.35)*(150m/150m+650m) + 0.10*(650m/150m+650m)

WACC = 0.08 *0.65*0.1875 + 0.10*0.8125

WACC = 0.00975 + 0.08125

WACC = 0.091

WACC = 91%

Therefore, the WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%
