Answer: 10%
Explanation:
You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.
The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;
= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)
= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)
= 8% + 2%
= 10%
Torque corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $1 in the upcoming year. dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year. the risk free rate of return is 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. the stock of torque corporation has a beta of 1.2. what is the return you should require on torque stock?a) 12%,
b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%
Answer:
The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)
r = 0.146 or 14.6%
A company purchased an asset for $3,200,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project
Answer:
$237,120
Explanation:
year depreciation % depreciation expense book value
1 33.33% $1,066,560 $2,133,440
2 44.45% $1,422,400 $711,040
3 14.81% $473,920 $237,120
the book value at the end of the project's life = $237,120, which is equivalent to 7.41% (the fourth year according to MACRS depreciation)
Crane Corporation has 2,000 shares of stock outstanding. It redeems 500 shares for $370,000 when it has paid-in capital of $300,000 and E & P of $1,200,000. The redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder. Crane incurred $13,000 of accounting and legal fees in connection with the redemption transaction and $18,500 of interest expense on debt incurred to finance the redemption. What is the effect of the distribution on Crane Corporation's E & P? Also, what is the proper tax treatment of the redemption expenditures?
Answer:
E&P $1,200,000 × 25%= $300,000 reduction
Crane Corporation would reduce its E & P in the amount of $300,000 as a result of the redemption.
This represents a 25% decrease in the amount of the E & P corresponding to the 25% stock redemption.
When a stock redemption results in sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder, the E & P account of a corporation is reduced in an amount not in excess of the ratable share of the E & P of the distributing corporation attributable to the stock redeemed.
As such, none of the expense of $13,000 of accounting and legal fees or other is deductible.
You decide to invest in a portfolio consisting of 30 percent Stock A, 30 percent Stock B, and the remainder in Stock C. Based on the following information, what is the expected return of your portfolio? State of Economy Probability of State Return if State Occurs of Economy Stock A Stock B Stock C Recession .17 - 18.8 % - 3.9 % - 22.8 % Normal .45 10.2 % 8.5 % 17.1 % Boom .38 28.6 % 15.8 % 31.7 %
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.127744 or 12.7744% rounded off to 12.77%
Explanation:
The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The formula for portfolio return is,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stockr represents the return of each stockTo calculate the expected return of portfolio, we first need to calculate the individual stock returns.
The expected rate of return of individual stocks can be calculated as follows,
r = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN
Where,
pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or return to occur rA, rB and so on are the return in different events
For Stock A
rA = 0.17 * -0.188 + 0.45 * 0.102 + 0.38 * 0.286
rA = 0.12262 or 12.262%
For Stock B
rB = 0.17 * -0.039 + 0.45 * 0.085 + 0.38 * 0.158
rB = 0.09166 or 9.166%
For Stock C
rC = 0.17 * -0.228 + 0.45 * 0.171 + 0.38 * 0.317
rC = 0.15865 or 15.865%
Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.12262 + 0.3 * 0.09166 + 0.4 * 0.15865
Portfolio return = 0.127744 or 12.7744% rounded off to 12.77%
Pfd Company has debt with a yield to maturity of , a cost of equity of , and a cost of preferred stock of . The market values of its debt, preferred stock, and equity are million, million, and million, respectively, and its tax rate is . What is this firm's after-tax WACC? Note: Assume that the firm will always be able to utilize its full interest tax shield.
Pfd Company has debt with a yield to maturity of 7.5%, a cost of equity of 13.5%, and a cost of preferred stock of 9.5%. The market values of its debt, preferred stock, and equity are $10.5 million, $3.5 million, and $24.5 million, respectively, and its tax rate is 40%. What is this firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
Answer:
10.68%
Explanation:
As we know that:
WACC = Ke * Ve / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))
+ Kd * Vd*(1-tax) / (Ve + Vpref + Vd*(1-Tax))
+ Kpref * Vpref / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))
Here
Ke is 13.5%
Pre tax Kd is 7.5%
Kpref is 9.5%
Ve is value of equity and is $24.5 million
Vpref is value of equity $3.5 million
Vd is $10.5 million
Tax rate is 40%
By putting the values, we have:
WACC = 13.5% *$24.5 / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))
+ 7.5% * (1-40%) * $45m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))
+ 9.5% * $3.5m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))
WACC = 0.045 * 0.273 + 0.095 * 0.091 + 0.135 * 0.636
= 10.68%

During a recent month, Company planned to provide cleaning services to customers for per hour. Each job was expected to take hours. The company actually served more customers than expected, but the average time spent on each job was only hours each. 's revenues for the month were
Answer: B. $1,050 more than expected.
Explanation:
The company originally planned to have revenue resulting from 30 customers and charging $30 for an estimated 33 hours.
Estimated revenue was;
= 30 * 30 * 3
= $2,700
However, in actuality, they sold to 20 more customers than estimated but only spent 2.5 hours each.
Number of customers = 30 + 20
= 50 customers
Actual revenue
= 50 * 30 * 2.5
= $3,750
Difference is;
= 3,750 - 2,700
= $1,050 more
Hotel Cortez is an all-equity firm that has 10,900 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $37 per share. The firm's management has decided to issue $66,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 8 percent. What is the break-even EBIT
Answer:
$32,264.07
Explanation:
The computation of the Break-even EBIT is shown below:
(EBIT ÷ Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $66,000 × 0.08) ÷ (10,900 - (66,000 ÷ $37))
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (10,900 - 1,783.78)
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (9116.22)
After solving this, the value of break-even EBIT is $32,264.07
A company with a WACC of 8.5% is considering two possible investments. Project A will return 10% and be financed using equity costing 9.5%. Project B will return 8% and be financed using debt costing 6%. Which project should the company undertake
Answer:
The Company should undertake project A.
Explanation:
The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using various sources of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.
A company will always accept projects that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and reject any project offering a return below the WACC.
Conclusion :
The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.
At the beginning of the year, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $840,000, and direct materials costs, $400,000. At year-end, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,041,000. Actual direct materials cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.Jobs completed and sold $390,000 Jobs in finished goods inventory 83,000 Jobs in work in process inventory 55,000 Total actual direct materials cost $528,000Required:a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.
the predetermined overhead rate = total budgeted overheard costs / total budgeted direct materials used = $840,000 / $400,000 = 2.1 = 210%
b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.
applied overhead costs = actual direct materials x overhead rate = $528,000 x 210% = $1,108,800
over applied overhead = actual overhead - standard overhead = $1,041,000 - $1,108,800 = -$67,800 favorable variance
c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
Dr Manufacturing overhead 67,800

Keating Co. is considering disposing of equipment with a cost of $55,000 and accumulated depreciation of $38,500. Keating Co. can sell the equipment through a broker for $29,000, less a 5% broker commission. Alternatively, Gunner Co. has offered to lease the equipment for five years for a total of $45,000. Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $12,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is
Answer:
$9,250
Explanation:
Calculation for the net differential income from the lease alternative
Lease amount=$45,000
Estimated expenses=$12,000
Net sale of equipment=Sale of equipment through broker $25,000 less 5% commission
Using this formula
Net differential income = Lease amount - estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net differential income= $45,000-$12,000-($25,000-($25,000*5%)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-($25,000-$1,250)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-$23,750
Net differential income=$45,000-$35,750
Net differential income=$9,250
Therefore net differential income from the lease alternative is $9,250
Problem 14-15 Finding the WACC [LO3] You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 21 percent. Debt: 16,000 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 27 years to maturity, selling for 105 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments. Common stock: 490,000 shares outstanding, selling for $67 per share; the beta is 1.18. Preferred stock: 21,500 shares of 4.3 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $88 per share. The par value is $100 per share. Market: 6 percent market risk premium and 5.4 percent risk-free rate. What is the company's WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The company's WACC is 9.71%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation of company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be described as the rate that is expected to be paid on average by a company to all holders of its securities to finance the assets of the company.
The following formula are used in the excel file to compute the WACC of the company.
Cost of debt = Type this function that is used in the excel sheet “=Rate(Number of years * 2,((Coupon rate/2)*Par value),-Selling price),Par value)*2*(1 - Tax rate)”. That is, type “=RATE(27*2,((6.5%/2)*1000),-1080,1000)*2*(1-21%)” in the excel file and press enter. This gives 4.83420280657156%
Note: Make sure you note all the commas and signs in the cost of debt function.
Cost of Common stock/equity using CAMP = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market risk premium) = 5.4% + (1.18 * 6%) = 12.48%
Cost of preferred stock = (Par value * Dividend rate) / Current price = ($100 * 4.3%) / 88 = 0.0488636363636364’ or 4.88636363636364%
One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year
Answer:
Dividend = $2.34
Explanation:
Purchase Price = $55.20
Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28
Capital Loss = $12.62
Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss
Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28
Dividend = $2.34
f the nominal interest rate is 7 percent and the real interest rate "is -2.5" percent, then the inflation rate is
Answer:
9.7%
Explanation:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
1.07 = 0.975 x (1 + inflation rate)
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.07 / 0.975
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.097
Inflation rate = 1.097 - 1 = 0.097 = 9.7%
"A small business owner of a firm that has 25 employees wants to establish a retirement plan and make contributions for her employees. What type of plan can the employer establish?"
Answer:
SEP IRA
Explanation:
For this type of company, the best type of plan would be a SEP IRA. This refers to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan and is a plan that is set up by an employer, with deductible contributions made by the employer themselves. The employer sets the actual contribution rate when creating the plan, and provides all employees the same contribution rate. The annual contribution of such an account is capped at $56,000 in 2019 and the individuals may withdraw the total amount of the account tax-free when they turn 59 1/2 years old.
Problem 14-13 Calculating the WACC [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $70, and the book value per share is $9. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $75 million, a coupon rate of 7 percent, and sells for 95 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 107 percent of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 8 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.30 and the dividend growth rate is 4.5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
WACC = 8.97%
Explanation:
total value of equity = $70 x 4,000,000 = $280,000,000
cost of equity:
$70 = $4.4935 / (Re - 4.5%)
Re - 4.5% = 6.42%
Re = 10.92%
total value of debt:
$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000
YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%
$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000
YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%
weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%
total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000
equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674
debt weight = 1 - 0.674 = 0.326
WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%
One of the problems with licensing as a method of achieving international business is that it is a much more difficult procedure to implement than the other methods.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Licensing involves a company giving another company in another country/market permission to produce its products or use its likeness. The company that gets the license will then pay the parent company specified amounts for being able to do so.
This method of international business is cheap as the company licensing will see its brand spread to other countries without actually having to worry about set-up costs in the other country which can be very high. It is therefore one of the easiest methods of expanding to international markets there is.
The Sisyphean Company has a bond outstanding with a face value of $1,000 that reaches maturity in 8 years. The bond certificate indicates that the stated coupon rate for this bond is 8% and that the coupon payments are to be made semiannually. Assuming the appropriate YTM on the Sisyphean bond is 9.6%, then this bond will trade at
Answer:
this bond will trade at $912.05.
Explanation:
There is an Inverse relationship between the yield and the price of bond.
As the yield goes up, the price of bond goes down, that is trade at discount.Whereas, as the yield goes down, the price of bond goes up, that is trade at a premium.The Bond investment in Sisyphean Company is trading at a discount.
The Price of the Bond, PV can be determined as follows..
PV = ?
FV = $1,000
PMT = ($1,000 × 8%) ÷ 2 = $40
P/yr = 2
YTM = 9.6%
n = 8 × 2 = 16
Using a Financial Calculator, the Price of the Bond, PV is $912.05.
project that has an expected return of 25% and a standard deviation of 30%. What is the project's coefficient of variation
Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
The Coefficient of Variation tells the accuracy of the mean. If it is high then there is a large dispersion around the mean. A smaller figure indicates that the mean is more accurate/ precise.
Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation / Expected Return
Coefficient of Variation = 30%/25%
Coefficient of Variation = 1.2

Therefore cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance
in 2015 is $40,000
"DEF Corporation, after many profitable years, declares a one-time special cash dividend of $5.00 per share. After the announcement, the stock is trading at $50 per share. Your customer holds 1 DEF Jan 55 Call. As of the ex date, the customer will have:"
Answer: B. 1 DEF Jan 50 Call
Explanation:
The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) acting under its mandate of being an issuer and guarantor for options and futures contracts can alter options prices but does not do so for prices based on normal dividends as they are more regular and their effects are already accounted for in the price of the call.
When a company calls a one-time special cash dividend, this is new to the market which would not have incorporated it into the price of the call. The OCC will then adjust the price to account for this.
In this case it will do so by subtracting the dividend from the call;
= 55 - 5
= $50
The customer will then have 1 DEF Jan 50 Call .
UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of , and Wal-Mart has a beta of The risk-free rate of interest is and the market risk premium is %. What is the expected return on a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?
The question is incomplete as it does not contain values. The following is the complete question.
UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of 1.2, and Wal-mart has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. What is the expected return a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?
Answer:
The expected return of the portfolio is Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stocks' expected returns that form up the portfolio.
The formula for portfolio's expected return is as follows,
Portfolio r = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weight of each stock in the portfolior is the expected return of each stockTo calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we will first calculate the expected return of UPS and Wal Mart using the CAPM equation.
The formula for expected return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium of marketr UPS = 0.04 + 1.2 * 0.07
r UPS = 0.124 or 12.4%
r Wal Mart = 0.04 + 0.8 * 0.07
r Wal Mart = 0.096 or 9.6%
Portfolio r = 0.4 * 0.124 + 0.6 * 0.096
Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%
Determine fixed cost, F; average variable cost, AVC; average cost, AC; marginal cost, MC; and average fixed-cost, AFC. The fixed cost function (F) is
Answer:
Fixed Cost Function = Average Cost - Average Variable cost
Explanation:
A fixed cost is the one which does not changes with the level of production. These cost are irrelevant to number of units production. It is not affected by the units produced and sold. The change in fixed cost does not affect the marginal cost. The marginal cost is the variable cost that is incurred by producing one more unit. These costs are affected by the level of production.

How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1.
Your fixed costs are $100,000/year.
How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000) / (3 - 1)
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
The number of bottles that must be sold at $3 per bottle to earn a target profit of $100,000 is 200,000 bottles.
Data and Calculations:
Variable cost per bottle = $1
Fixed cost per year = $100,000
Expected sales units in the first year = 300,000 bottles
Selling price per bottle = $3
Target profit = $300,000
Contribution margin per unit = $2 ($3 - $1)
Contribution margin ratio = 67% ($2/$3 x 100)
Sales units to achieve target profit = (Fixed Costs + Profit)/$2
= ($100,000 + $300,000)/$2
= 200,000 bottles

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

Explanation:
The Rhaegel Corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.2. If the risk-free rate is 4.3 percent and the expected return on the market is 13 percent, what is the company’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Cost of equity = 14.74%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock..
Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk.
Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- cost of equity , Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
β-1.2 Rf- 4.3%, Rm = 13%
E(r) = 4.3% + 1.2 × (13 - 4.3)%=14.74 %
Expected return = 14.74 %
Cost of equity = 14.74%
The beta of company Myers’s stock is 2. The annual risk-free rate is 2% and the annual market premium is 8%. What is the expected return for Myers’ stock? A. 14% B. 25% C. 20% D. 18
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
Myers's stock has a beta of 2
The annual risk free rate is 2%
The annual market premium is 8%
Therefore, the expected return for Myers's stock can be calculated as follows
= 2% + (2×8%)
= 2% + 16%
= 18%
Hence the expected return for Myers's stock is 18%
B MC Qu. 7-200 Krepps Corporation produces ... Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 29,010 units and sold 23,900 units. Production costs for the year were as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead $214,674 $121,842 $243,684 $319, 110 Sales totaled $1,159,150 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $126,670, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $205,971. There was no beginning Inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Under absorption costing, the ending Inventory for the year would be valued at:_________ (Round your Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a) $158.410
b) $228.410
c) $219.910
d) $185.910
Answer:
a) $158.41
Explanation:
Unit product cost under absorption costing = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead / Total manufactured units
= (214,674 + 121,842 + 243,684 + 319,110) /29,010
= $899,310 / 29,010 unit
= $31 per unit
Ending inventory = $29,010 - $23,900 / $31
= $5110 * 31 per unit
= $158,410
