3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"

Have they outlived their usefulness?

No.

The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness.  They remain very useful and relevant to our world today.  The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch.  They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.

But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries.  Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best.  Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes.  There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.

In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental.  While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises.  This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt.  National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.

Explanation:

The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries.  It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity.  The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

For a recent year, TechMart reported sales of $36,241 million. Its gross profit was $9,785 million. What was the amount of TechMart's cost of goods sold? (Enter answer in millions.)

Answers

Answer:

$26,456 million.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the gross profit is:

Gross profit=Sales-cost of goods sold

Using this formula we can calculate the cost of goods sold as we have the information about the gross profit and the sales:

Cost of goods sold=Sales-Gross profit

Cost of goods sold=$36,241-$9,785

Cost of goods sold=$26,456

According to this, TechMart's cost of goods sold was $26,456 million.

Turnbull Corp. is in the process of constructing a new plant at a cost of $30 million. It expects the project to generate cash flows of $13,000,000, $23,000,000, and 29,000,000 over the next three years. The cost of capital is 20 percent. What is the internal rate of return that Turnbull can earn on this project? (Do not round intermediate computations. Round final answer to the nearest percent.)

Answers

Answer:

44%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

Internal rate of return can be determined using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-30 million

Cash flow in year 1 = $13 million

Cash flow in year 2 = $23 million

Cash flow in year 3 = $29 million

IRR = 44%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

= Alpha = 1 - 0.95

= O.05

Alpha/2 = 0.025

Z(0.025) = 1.960

Margin of error = z(1.960)*SD/√n

= 1.960*(3.2/√20)

= 1.960 x 0.7156

= 1.4025

Approximately 1.4

3. At 90%

Alpha = 1 -0.9

Alpha/2 = 0.05

Z(0.05) =1.645

E = 1.645 x 3.2/√20

= 1.645 x 0.7176

= 1.177

Approximately 1.18

Various financial data for SunPath Manufacturing for 2015 and 2016 follow. 2015 2016 Output: Sales $ 300,000 $ 330,000 Inputs: Labor $ 40,000 $ 43,000 Raw Materials: $ 45,000 $ 51,000 Energy: $ 10,000 $ 9,000 Capital Employed: $ 250,000 $ 262,000 Other: $ 2,000 $ 6,000 What is the percentage change in the multifactor labor and raw materials productivity measure for SunPath between 2015 and 2016

Answers

Answer:

% change in multi-factor productivity = 2.88%

% change in raw materials productivity = -2.94%

% change in labor productivity = 2.33%

Explanation:

                                            2015           2016

Output:

Sales                       $300,000      $330,000

Inputs:

Labor                         $40,000       $43,000 Raw Materials:          $45,000        $51,000 Energy:                       $10,000         $9,000 Capital Employed:  $250,000     $262,000 Other:                           $2,000         $6,000

multi-factor = total output / (labor costs + materials costs + overhead costs)

MFP 2015 = $300,000 / ($40,000 + $45,000 + $10,000 + $250,000 + $2,000) = 0.8646

MFP 2016 = $330,000 / ($43,000 + $51,000 + $9,000 + $262,000 + $6,000) = 0.8895

% change = (0.8895 - 0.8646) / 0.8646 = 0.0288 = 2.88%

raw materials productivity = total output / materials costs

raw materials productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $45,000 = 6.6667

raw materials productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $51,000 = 6.4706

% change = (6.4706 - 6.6667) / 6.6667 = -0.0294 = -2.94%

labor productivity = total output / labor costs

labor productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $40,000 = 7.5

labor productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $43,000 = 7.6744

% change = (7.6744 - 7.5) / 7.5 = 0.0233 = 2.33%

Cheyenne Corp. had the following transactions that took place during the year:I.Recorded credit sales of $2250II.Collected $1350 from customersIII.Recorded sales returns of $450 and credited the customer's account.What is the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow?a) No Effectb) Cannot be determinedc) Increased) Decrease

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is d) Decrease.

Explanation:

Free cash flow (FCF) can be described as the cash that is generated by a company after cash outflows required to support operations and maintain the capital assets of the company have been accounted for.

Therefore, FCF can be calculated by adjusting for non-cash expenses, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures to reconcile net income.

The total effect of these transactions on free cash flow can be determined by first calculating the account receivable for the year as follows:

Calculation of account receivable for the year:

Particular                                                     Amount ($)

Credit sales                                                    2,250

Cash collected from the customer              (1,350)

Sales returns                                                   (450)  

Account receivable                                        450  

A partial free cash flow statement can therefore be prepared as follows:

Cheyenne Corp.

Free cash flow statement (Partial)

Particular                                                                   Amount ($)  

Net income                                                                         xx

(Increase) decrease in non-cash current assets:

Increase in account receivable                                       (450)  

Free cash flow                                                                 (450)  

Since the free cash flow is negative or minus $450, it therefore implies that the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow is a decrease.

Therefore, the correct option is d) Decrease.

You have risen through the ranks of a coffee​ comany, from the lowly​ green-apron barista to the coveted black​ apron, and all the way to CFO. A quick internet check shows that your​ company's beta is 0.6. The​ risk-free rate is 4.1% and you believe the market risk premium to be 5.2%. What is your best estimate of​ investors' expected return on your​ company's stock​ (its cost of equity​ capital)?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of equity capital or expected rate of return is 7.22%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or the required rate of return is the minimum rate of return required by the investors to invest in a stock or a portfolio of stock based on the systematic risk that a stock carries as represented by a stock's beta. The expected rate of return (r) of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The CAPM equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.041 + 0.6 * 0.052

r = 0.0722 or 7.22%

What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model

Answers

Complete Question:

What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model? The company plans to pay an annual dividend of of $4.12 per share in one year. The expected annual growth rate of the dividend is 12.9%, and the required rate of return for the stock is 16.63%. Answer as a percentage, 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).

Answer:

12.9%

Explanation:

As we know that:

Capital Gain Yield  = (P1 - P0) / P0

Step 1: Find P0

Po = D1  / (Ke - g)

Here

D1 is $4.12 per share

Ke is 16.63%

g is 12.9%

By putting values, we have:

Po = $4.12 / (16.63% - 12.9%)

= $110.46

Step 2: Find P1

P1 = D2  / (Ke - g)

Here

D2 = D1 * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.12 per share  * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.65

Ke is 16.63%

g is 12.9%

By putting values, we have:

Po = $4.65 / (16.63% - 12.9%)

= $124.70

Step3: Find Annual Capital Gain Yield

Capital Gain Yield  = (P1 - P0) / P0

Now by putting values, we have:

Capital Gain Yield  = ($124.7 - $110.46) / $110.46

= 12.9%

Beck Kubiak wishes to purchase new appliances for her home. The total cost for the appliances is $2,900. To finance the purchase, Becky must pay 20% down, with the balance being financed with a 24-month installment loan with an APR of 8.5%. Determine Becky's total finance charge and her monthly payment

Answers

Answer:

total finance charge = $203.08

her monthly payment = $105.13

Explanation:

The Loan amount = Cost of Appliance - Down Payment

                              = $2,900 - ($2,900 × 20%)

                              = $2,320

Change the APR to nominal compounding,

Using a Financial Calculator, this will be :

8.50 % Shift EFF%

12 Shift P/YR

Shift NOM % = 8.19%

Then calculate the monthly payment as follows :

Pv = $2,320

n = 24

p/yr = 12

r = 8.19%

Fv = $0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, monthly payment, PMT is $105.13

Total Finance Charge will then be obtained from the amortization schedule from the First Period to the 24th Period and this will be : $203.08.

Answers

Answer:

Use goal seek to answer this question. All else equals, to have a net income of 20,000, the COGS margin percentage must be 40%, and the gross profit must be $17,250.

Explanation:

The income statement is missing, so I looked it up and the information given was:

Revenue 100,000 COGS 40,000 Gross Profit 60,000 Salaries Marketing Rent Earnings Before Tax 23,000Income Tax 25% Net Income ?

Since COGS are$40,000 and total sales are $100,000, the COGS margin percentage = 40,000 / 100,000 = 40%

Since earnings before taxes are $23,000 and taxes are 25%, then net income = $23,000 x (1 - 25%) = $23,000 x 75% = $17,250

Optimal order quantities exist when the curves for the order-processing cost per unit and inventory-carrying cost per unit intersect.

Say the marginal tax rate is 30 percent and that government expenditures do not change with output. Say also that the economy is at potential output and that the deficit is $200 billion.Required:a. What is the size of the cyclical deficit?b. What is the size of the structural deficit?c. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $200 billion below potential?d. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $100 billion above potential?

Answers

Answer:

a. The Cyclical deficit refers to the deficit arising from the difference between the potential output and the actual output.

The question assumes that the economy is producing at potential which means actual output equals potential output.

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 0

Cyclical Deficit  = $0

b. Structural deficit occurs even when the economy is at potential because it refers to Government deficits that happen when the economy is experiencing normal activity.

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 0

Structural Deficit = $200 billion

c. Output is $200 billion below potential

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 200

Cyclical Deficit  = $60 billion

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 60

Structural Deficit = $140 billion

d. Output is $100 billion above potential

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * -100 as actual is above potential

Cyclical Deficit  = -$30 billion

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - (-30)

Structural Deficit = $230 billion

Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, and neither. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country.

Answers

Answer:

1. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. - Aggregate-Demand Curve

If households in the economy started saving more of their money then this would leave less money for consumption which is one of the components of Aggregate Demand. When Consumption decreases so also will Aggregate Demand thereby shifting the Aggregate-Demand Curve to the left.

2. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. - Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve

With the Florida Orange Groves suffering from below freezing temperatures, the oranges will not grow as much leading to a poor harvest. This will reduce the supply of oranges in the economy and shift the short-run Aggregate supply curve left.

3. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country. Both Aggregate-Demand Curve and Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve.

With less people in the Economy, there will be less people spending on goods and services which will cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left.

Also with people leaving the country, the labor force will decrease which will mean that less people are available to produce goods and services so the short-run Aggregate supply curve will shift left.

Complete Question:

Brik Products, located in Atlanta, Georgia, produces two lines of electric toothbrushes: Deluxe and Standard. Because Brik can sell all the toothbrushes it produces, the owners are expanding the plant. They are deciding which product line to emphasize. To make this decision, they assemble the following data:

Per Unit

Deluxe Toothbrush Standard Toothbrush

Sales price $94 $54

Variable expenses 22 16

Contribution margin $72 $36

Contribution margin ratio 75.5% 70.4%

After expansion, the factory will have a production capacity of 4.200 machine hours per month. The plant can manufacture either 68 Standard electric toothbrushes or 26 Deluxe electric toothbrushes per machine hour.

Requirements:

1. Identify the constraining factor for Brik Products.

2. Prepare an analysis to show which product line to emphasize.

Answer:

Brik Products

1. The constraining factor for Brik Products is the 4,200 machine hours.

2. Analysis to show which product line to emphasize:

Product Mix Analysis  

                                                                   Deluxe      Standard

Sale price                                               $94             $54

Variable expense                                         22                16

Contribution margin per unit               $72             $38

Number of toothbrushes per hour               26            68

Total contribution margin per hour        $1,872       $2,584

Decision: Brik Products should emphasize the production and sale of the Standard electric toothbrushes as this rakes in more contribution per the constraining factor, i.e. machine hours.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                                   Deluxe      Standard

Sale price                                               $94          $54

Variable expense                                         22             16

Contribution margin per unit                 72             38  (not $36)

Contribution margin ratio         76.6% (not 75.5%)   70.4%

Number of toothbrushes per hour               26          68

Machine hours available = 4,200 hours

b) Analysis:

For Brik Products, the contribution margin per machine hour = contribution per unit x units per hour.  Brik will generate a total contribution margin per product line without producing the other that is equal to the contribution margin per machine hour multiplied by total machine hours.

Assuming that Brik Products concentrates on the production of the standard electric toothbrushes alone, it will generate a total contribution margin of $10,852,800 ($2,584 x 4,200) as against the total contribution margin of $7,862,400 ($1,872 x 4,200) to be generated if only Deluxe electric toothbrushes are produced.

Whistle Stop pays a constant annual dividend of $4 on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 3 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. What is the current price per share if the required return on this stock is 15.6 percent

Answers

Answer:

$9.04

Explanation:

Calculation for the current price per share

Using this formula

P0 = Annual dividend[1 − (1/1+Required return)]/ Required return

Let plug in the formula

P0=$4[(1- (1/1+0.156)]/.156

P0 = $4[1 − (1/1.1563)]/.156

P0 = $9.04

Therefore the current price per share will be $9.04
