The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $2.90 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.75 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $49.40 per share, what is the required return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10.6%

Explanation:

Calculation for the required return

Using this formula

Required return=(Dividend payment/Stock per share)+Anticipated growth rate

Let plug in the formula

Required return =($2.90 per share/$49.40 per share)+0.0475

Required return=0.05870+0.0475

Required return =0.106*100

Required return =10.6%

Therefore the Required return will be 10.6%

Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5%, and a 20-year bond, also with an annual coupon of 5%. Both bonds currently sell at par value. Now suppose that interest rates rise and the yield to maturity of the two bonds increases to 8%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bond?

Answers

Answer:

$922.69  

Explanation:

The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:

Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

face value is $1000

r is the new interest rate of 8%

n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3

coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50

price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%

price of 3-year bond=$922.69

QBEP,B units
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

Consider the production function

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.

Barb bought a house with 20% down and the rest financed by a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments calculated at a nominal annual rate of interest 8.4% compounded monthly. She notices that one-third of the way through the mortgage she will still owe 200,000. Determine the purchase price of the house.

Answers

Answer:

$282,706

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the purchase price of the house

First step

In order for us to determine the purchase price of the house we would be using TVM Calculation to find the PMT

Hence,

PMT =

PV = 200,000

FV = 0

N = 240

I = 0.084/12

Thus,PMT = $1,723.01

The Second step will be to Calculate the Loan Amount Using TVM Calculation,

PV =

FV = 0

PMT = -1,723.01

N = 360

I = 0.084/12

Thus, PV = $226,164.98

Last step is to Determine the purchase price of the house

Using this formula

Purchase price=PV/(100%-20% down)

Let plug in the formula

Purchase price =226,164.98/(0.80)

Purchase price = $282,706

Therefore the purchase price of the house will be $282,706

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in Units

April 54,000

May 75,000

June 94,000

July 82,000

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000

Beginning inventory= (10,800)

Total= 58,200 units

May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800

Beginning inventory= (15,000)

Total= 78,800 units

June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400

Beginning inventory= (18,800)

Total= 91,600 units

Total for the quarter= 228,600 units

In the above case, Sales in Units in the month of April is 54,000, in the month of May is 75,000, in the month of June is 94,000 and in the month of July is 82,000.

What is sales?

A sale is defined as a transaction between the parties in which the purchaser acquires goods, services, or assets in return for money. In some cases, other assets are pay off to a seller.

Computation of production:

According to the available information,

Desirable closing inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production in each month, the formula is:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}[/tex]

Production in the month of April:

According to the given information,

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=75,000\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\= 15,000[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 10,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =54,000+15,000-10,800\\\\\text{Production}=58,200\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=94,000\times \frac{20}{100}\\\\= 18,800[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 15,000

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =75,000+18,800-15,000\\\\\text{Production}=78,800\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]872,000\times\dfrac{20}{100}= 16,400[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 18,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =94,000+16,400-18,800\\\\\text{Production}=91,600\text{Units}[/tex]

Therefore, the Total for the quarter :

[tex]=\text{May's Production + June's Production+Juily's Production}\\\\=58,200+78,800+91,600 \text{Units}\\= 228,600 \text{Units}[/tex]

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.

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

Answers

Answer:

1. $20,000 cost already incurred to a produce. - Irrelevant

This cost has already been incurred in the initial production and as such are classified as sunk costs. Sunk costs are not relevant to the decision on whether to sell or process the product further.

b. $12,000 selling price - Relevant

As this amount relates to the selling price were the product not to be processed further, it is relevant to the sell or process the products further decision.

c. $16,000 additional processing costs - Relevant

This is the incremental cost should the product be processed further and so is relevant to the decision.

d. $30,000 revenues from processing further. - Relevant.

As the total revenue that could be realized if the product is processed further, this is very relevant to the decision on whether to process further or sell.

(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.

Answers

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.

= $95,125 - $95,000

= $125

The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.

We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.

= $94,125 - $95,187.50

= -$1,062.50

Therefore, Net profits is;

= $125 - $1,062.50

= -$937.50

Would activity-based costing or activity-based management be useful for the airport store? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Activity based costing will not be useful because the airport store has hundreds of items which share a indirect costs like rentals, warehouse expenses, delivery costs, electricity, maintenance costs, etc.

The reason why its use in the case of airport store is not beneficial is as under:

Time Consuming: All indirect costs can't be absorbed in hundreds of product and would take more than one month to allocate indirect costs to each product. List of Restricted Product Price: Another reason is that the airport stores are given a price schedule which restrict selling of products at higher costs. This means if the contribution arising from the product then we can't change its price as it is restricted by the airport authorities.The indirect cost remains fixed and is not changing in this case which means it is not determinable which product consumes greater share of indirect cost as sometimes shelves will be not 100% occupied hence determining cost drivers for each cost pool would be a difficult task.Purpose is Lost: The purpose of ABC is to allocate the indirect costs to each product which apportioned on a fairer basis and lower the indirect cost by lowering the usage of cost drivers. The indirect costs can't be lowered as maintenance cost is fixed, electricity consumption remains the same, rentals are also fixed, this means that the purpose of allocation and controlling of cost drivers is lost.Suitable for Manufacturers not for Stores: The manufacturer's products deal with dozens of costs that are variable if the cost driver changes. The cost driver changes are not changing the indirect cost in the case of airport store which means that if a product which occupied 1 shelve is now occupying 2 shelves is not increasing the rental cost.

Hence ABC is not suitable for airport store.

Dvorak Company produces a product that requires 5 standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $2.50 per pound. If 1,000 units required 4,500 pounds, which were purchased at $3.00 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable

Total variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 3)*4,500

Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 5*1,000= 5,000

Direct material quantity variance= (5,000 - 4,500)*2.5

Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable

Total variance= 1,250 - 2,250= $1,000 unfavorable

On July 9, Mifflin Company receives an $8,500, 90-day, 8% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account. Compute the amount due at maturity for the note and interest. (Use 360 days a year.)

Answers

Answer:

$8,670 and $170

Explanation:

The computation of the amount due at the time of maturity and the interest is shown below:

For interest, it is

= Received amount × rate of interest × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year

= $8,500 × 8% × 90 ÷ 360 days

= $170

And, the amount due at the time of maturity of the note is

= Received amount + interest

= $8,500 + $170
