The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.

Hence,

Par Value = $800

Face Value = $1,000

N = 5 x 2 = 10

Since the interest is semi annual

i = 8% / 2 = 4%

CF = $15.34

Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%

B. Decrease $19,000
C. Increase $527,000
D. Increase $19,000

Answers

Answer:

B. Decrease $19,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount affect the operating income is shown below

But before that first we need to find the new operating income

Total operating income for Cat Food  $280,000

Less: Fixed costs for Dog Food           ($52000)

Add: rented per year                             $26000

New net operating income                  $254000

Now decrease in net operating income is

= operating income - new operating income

= $273,000 - $254,000

= $19,000

Answers

Answer:

$81, $75, and $69

a. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $81 =        $3888000

                                                                                     $21,303,000

Price after issue of new shares = 21,303,000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 21,303,000 / 263,000

= $81

Conclusion: No changes ($0 per share

b. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $75 =        $3600000

                                                                                     $21015000

Price after issue of new shares = 21015000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 21,015,000  / 263,000

= $79.90

Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 79.90) = $1.10 per share

c. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000

   Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $69 =        $3312000

                                                                                     $20,727,000

Price after issue of new shares = 20,727,000 / (215000 + 48000)

= 20,727,000 / 263,000

= $78.81

Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 78.81) = $2.19 Per share

Answers

Answer: can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income

Explanation:

Imports are the goods that are purchased and brought from another country into one's home country. Restricting imports is a way by which the government helps to protect the industries at home.

It should also be noted that restricting imports will lead to reductions in the United States output and income as other people in other countries might stop purchasing ones products as well and this will affect the income of the United States.

Answer:

C.  can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income.

Explanation:

Import restriction is a measure taken by some countries that want trade protectionism. They do this to limit importation of goods and services from foreign countries. To achieve this they may impose tariffs, quotas, develop policies, or give subsidies to the local producers, all in a bid to limit importation. In the United States, while restricting imports can protect jobs in the protected industries, it would also result to trade wars with other nations.

This is a situation where other countries reciprocate the import restriction. This would eventually result in a reduced Gross domestic product for the country and limited choices for the consumers who will want to settle with cheaper goods. A case is the situation between Japan and the United States

If an investor's aversion to risk increased, would the risk premium on a high beta stock increase by more or less than that of a low-beta stock? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock

A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.

Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.

risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.

According to CAPM :

risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)

Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium

If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.

A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is diminishing also has:

Answers

Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.

Explanation:

If the marginal product of labor is diminishing then that means that for every extra worker hired, less products are made than the last worker. As a result of this, companies will not want to pay high wages to workers because they would be bringing in less revenue when hired.

This will cause a downward-sloping labor demand curve that shows that as more workers are hired, the company would like to pay less wages because each new worker is only producing less than the last worker.

The owner of a large machine shop has just finished its financial analysis from the prior fiscal year. Following is an excerpt from the final report: Net revenue $ 375,000 Cost of goods sold 322,000 Value of production materials on hand 42,500 Value of work-in-process inventory 37,000 Value of finished goods on hand 12,500 What is the inventory turnover ratio (ITR) ?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 3.5

Explanation:

Inventory turnover ratio is:

Cost of goods sold / Total or average inventory

Cost of goods sold is $322,000

Total Inventory in this question comprises work-in- process, finished goods and even raw materials.

So total inventory equals:

Production materials on hand $42,500 Work-in-process inventory $37,000

Finished goods on hand $12,500

Total inventory. $92,000

Therefore, inventory turnover ratio is

$322,000 / $92,000

= 3.5

However, National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) isn't modeled after the NYSE Specialist (DMM) and Floor Trader system, rather it is based on an all electronic market. Also, Better Alternative Trading System (BATS) started as an Electronic Communications Network (ECN) and as such is typically an all electronic market, which has transformed magnificently into an exchange according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Hence, the American Stock Exchange, AMEX (NYSE American) and Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) uses a designated market maker (DMM) and Floor Trader system just like the New York Stock Exchange as their primary market maker.

Consider the following information on large-company stocks for a period of years. Series Arithmetic Mean Large-company stocks 12.1 % Inflation 3.4A. What was the arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in nominal terms?
B. What was the arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in real terms?

Answers

Answer:

a. 12.1 %

b. 8.41%

Explanation:

a. The arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in nominal terms is already stated in the table as 12.1%.

This is because it was not yet adjusted for inflation making it nominal.

b. The arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in real terms can be expressed by;

Real Return = [(1 + Nominal rate) / (1 + Inflation rate)] - 1

= (( 1 + 12.1%) / ( 1 + 3.4%)) - 1

= (1.121/1.034) - 1

= 1.0841 - 1

= 8.41%

Rose Hill Trading Company is expected to have EPS in the upcoming year of $8. The expected ROE is 18%. An appropriate required return on the stock is 14%. If the firm has a retention ratio of 70%, its dividend in the upcoming year should be _________. A. $1.12 B. $1.44 C. $2.40 D. $5.60

Answers

Answer: C. $2.40

Explanation:

Earnings Per Share (EPS) refers to how much of the net income is due to the shareholders and is calculated by dividing the net income by the number of shareholders.

The retention ratio refers to how much of the net income will be held back by the company and not declared as dividends.

The dividends will therefore be the percentage of the EPS that is not held back.

= 8 * ( 1 - 0.7)

= $2.40

Kemp Corporation manufactures a variety of parts for use in its product. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its product, including all of the electronic circuits. The company sells 18,000 units of its product per year. An outside supplier has offered to sell electronic circuits to the company for a cost of $40 per unit. To evaluate this offer, the company has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the electronic circuits internally: Per Unit 18,000 Units per Year Direct materials $ 18 $ 324,000 Direct labor 9 162,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 36,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 * 162,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 216,000 Total cost $ 50 $ 900,000 *One-third supervisory salary; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value). Suppose that if the electronic circuits were purchased, the division supervisor position could be eliminated. Fixed manufacturing overhead will be allocated to other products made by the company. Also, the company could use the freed production capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $180,000 per year. Given this new assumption, how much would be the financial advantage of buying 18,000 electronic circuits from the outside supplier

Answers

Answer:

financial advantage of purchasing from outside vendor = $36,000

Explanation:

outside vendor offers 18,000 units at $40 per unit = $720,000

current production costs (for 18,000 units):

Direct materials $324,000 Direct labor $162,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $36,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $162,000 ($54,000 avoidable)Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $216,000 (not avoidable)Total cost $900,000

total avoidable costs = $576,000

additional revenue generated by freed facilities = $180,000

financial advantage of purchasing from outside vendor = ($576,000 + $180,000) - $720,000 = $36,000

Answer the following questions. 1. A company has an inventory of 1,200 assorted parts for a line of missiles that has been discontinued. The inventory cost is $71,000. The parts can be either​ (a) remachined at total additional costs of $24,000 and then sold for $32,000 or​ (b) sold as scrap for $5,000. Which action is more​ profitable? Show your calculations. 2. A​ truck, costing $104,000 and​ uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either​ (a) disposed of for $15,500 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or​ (b) rebuilt for $85,500​, and thus be​ brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less​ costly? Show your calculations.

Answers

Answer:

1) the $71,000 is considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered.

option A yields $32,000 - $24,000 = $8,000 (this is more profitable)

option B yields $5,000

2) the $104,000 is also considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered

option A results in $105,500 - $15,500 = $90,000 in costs

option B costs $85,500 (this option is less costly)
