Answers

Answer:

Price of stock = $96.19

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return  

This principle can be applied as follows:  

The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return

Price of stock = D1/(1+r)   + P/(1+r)

D1= dividend in year 1

r- discount rate - 5%

P- Price in year 1

DATA

D1- 1,

r- 5%

P- 100

Price of stock = 1/(1.05) + 100/(1.05) = 96.19

Price of stock = $96.19

Answers

Answer:

The correct option b. $2,567.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A company bought a piece of equipment for $49,200 and expects to use it for eight years. The company then plans to sell it for $4,000. The company has already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60. Using the double-declining-balance method, what is the company's annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a. $11,300.

b. $2,567.

c. $19,200.

d. $1,642.

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the annual depreciation expenses.

Double declining depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation technique due to the fact the depreciation expenses are charged faster under it than under straight-line depreciation method.

The depreciation of double declining method is calculated by by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the question, the already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60 is the accumulated depreciation expenses for the 7th year.

Since the upcoming year is the 8th year which is the last year, the depreciation expense for it can be calculated as by adjusting for the residual value of $4,000 follows:

Equipment cost = $49,200

Accumulated Depreciation = $42,632.60

Residual value = $4,000

Estimated useful life = 8 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.125, or 12.50%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%

Beginning book value of the equipment in the upcoming year or in the 8th year = Equipment cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $49,200 - $42,632.60 = $6,567.40

Annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year or for the 8th year = Beginning book value of the equipment - Residual value = $6,567.40 - $4,000 = $2,567

Therefore, the correct option b. $2,567.

"A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 4 years at 105. The taxable gain or loss is a:"

Answers

Answer:

2 point capital gain

Explanation:

Every municipal bond that is purchased at premium is subject to straight line depreciation, whether the premium be trading premium or original issue premium.

Here the premium is 5 points = 105 - 100

Which shall be amortised over its useful life of 10 years.

Thus, for each year 1/2 point is amortised without allowing any tax deduction.

Thus, after 4 years total amortisation = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 4years = 2[/tex]

Thus, value at end of year 4 = 105 - 2 = 103 basis point.

Further the selling amount = 105 basis point.

Thus, 105 - 103 = 2 basis point shall be taxable.

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.)

Answers

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%

Return=1.82%

Therefore the return on the stock will be 1.82%

Consider the case of a good with external benefits. If you plant trees in front of your house, the neighborhood is more attractive, and trees create shade, provide oxygen, and a home for birds and squirrels. Thus the benefits to society are greater than the benefits to you. If the planting of trees is a private choice, you will plant too few trees relative to the socially optimal quantity, because the private value to you is less than the social value.

Answers

Answer:

b. Tax homeowners who plant trees.

b. society as a whole

d. taxpayers

greater than

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

Taxing homeowners who plant trees would increase the cost of planting and thus discourage planting

Everyone would benefit from a project that generates positive externality.

If the government pays for a program to increase the planting of trees, the cost would be borne by taxpayers. So, they lose

Cost of Producing Guitars Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitars is given by the following in dollars/month when the level of production is x guitars/month.

C '(x) = 0.008x + 90

The fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month. Find the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month.

Answers

Answer:

The total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.

Explanation:

Given,

C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 ................................... (1)

To obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month, we obtain the integral of equation (1) as follows:

[tex]C(x)=\int\limits {C'(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {[0.008x + 90]} \, dx[/tex]

C(x) = (0.008 / 2) x^2 + 90x + F

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + F .......................... (2)

Where F is the constant.

Since total cost is the addition of the total cost and total variable cost, the F in equation (2) represents the total fixed cost per month.

Since the fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month, this implies that F = 8,500.

Substituting F = 8,500 into equation (2), we have:

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500 <-------------- Total cost per month

Therefore, the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.

a. take corrective action, if necessary
b. compare performance to standards
c. recognize success
d. measure performance
e. establish standards

Answers

Answer:

e. establish standards

Explanation:

-Take corrective action, if necessary is when managers decide strategies to implement when the results are not meeting the standards that were established.

-Compare performance to standards is the step that determines if there is a difference between the company's performance and the standards.

-Recognize success is not a step in the control process.

-Measure performance refers to gather and analyze data to determine if the company is meeting the goals set.

-Establish standards refers to establishing goals that are specific, attainable and clear to be able to evaluate the company's performance.

According to this, the answer is that Uber's guidance that if a driver's "rating over the most recent 100 trips is below a 4.6, your profile may be at risk of deactivation" represents establish standards because Uber established a rating that driver's need to achieve which represents the standard that would be use to evaluate them.

Richards Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricating Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 80,000 units, 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 250,000. Units completed and transferred out: 330,000. Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $37,200. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $79,700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $646,800. Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $919,300. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.

Answers

Answer:

$2.90 per equivalent unit of conversion

Explanation:

equivalent units of conversion (under FIFO) = [units in beginning inventory x ( 1 - previous conversion rate)] + units started and completed + (units in ending inventory x conversion rate) = [80,000 x (1 - 20%)] + 250,000 + (30,000 x 10%) = 64,000 + 250,000 + 3,000 = 317,000 units

cost per equivalent unit of conversion = total conversion costs / total equivalent units of conversion = $919,300 / 317,000 units = $2.90 per equivalent unit

30-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments and has a coupon rate of 8%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places.) a. What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $900?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 15.508%

Explanation:

The annual coupon rate is:

8% x 900 x 2 / $1,000 = 14.4%

The yield to maturity as follows:

Yield to maturity (YTM) = [Coupon payment + (Face Value - Present Value) / Time to Maturity] /  [(Face Value + Present Value) / 2]

=> YTM = [14.4% x $1,000 + ($1,000 - $900) / 30] / [ ($1,000 + $900) / 2] = 15.508%

r = 0.05 + 0.5 * (0.08 - 0.05)

r = 0.065 or 6.5%

As the required rate of return on market is less than the actual return, the stock is said to be undervalued as it provides an actual return greater than the required rate of return.

Answer:

Undervalued

Explanation:

to determine if the stock is overvalued or undervalued, we have to determine the expected rate of return using the CAPM and compare it with the return of the stock

Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

5% + 0.5(8% - 5%) = 6.5%

the stock is undervalued because 6.5% is less than 7%

AAA Manufacturing​ Inc, makes a product with the following costs per​ unit: Direct materials $150 Direct labor $90 Manufacturing overhead​ (variable) $60 Manufacturing overhead​ (fixed) $120 Marketing costs $85 What would be the inventoriable cost per unit under variable costing and what would it be under absorption​ costing?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $90

Manufacturing overhead​ (variable) $60

Manufacturing overhead​ (fixed) $120

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary production cost= 150 + 90 + 60= $300

Absorption costing:

Unitary production cost= 300 + 120= $420

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Segment A Segment B Segment C

Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000

Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000

Profit= 250,000  180,000  110,000  = 540,000

Allocable costs for the year was $180,000.

First, we need to allocate costs to Segment B:

Segment B= 180,000/540,000= 0.33

Allocate= 0.33*180,000= 60,000

Now, we can calculate the profit:

Segment B profit= 180,000 - 60,000= 120,000
