Answer:
Total Stock price of Stock A = 156 x 45
Total Stock price of Stock A = $7,020
Total Stock price of Stock B = 130 x 30
Total Stock price of Stock B = $3,900
Hence, the total Stock price of Stock of A & B is $7,020 & $3,900 respectively.
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 7,020/ ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 64%
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 3,900 / ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 36%
Hence, the portfolio weight of stock A & B is 64% & 36% respectively.

The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture?
Answer:
The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.
Explanation:
Let the minimum annual revenue = X
Therefore,
The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows
X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)
Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.
X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)
X(5.847) = 130.858
X = 130.858 / 5.847
X = 22.38 millions
The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.
Suppose a period of continuous political instability leads to people to believe that the economy will slide into a deep recession. As a result, people become more likely to accept ________ money in exchange for goods and services.
A. Flat
B. Commodity
U.S. Dollars are an example of _____ money.
A. Flat
B. Commodity
Answer:
The answer is:
1. Commodity
2. Fiat

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate
Answer: b) Project B
Explanation:
Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.
Project A
Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 4,000 + 3,000
= $7,000
This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.
= 2 + 3,000/10,000
= 2.3 Times
Project B
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 3,000 + 2,000
= $5,000
At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.

The Drogon Co. just issued a dividend of $3.05 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6.3 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $61 a share, what is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
11.62%
Explanation:
Drogo corporation issued a dividend of $3.05 per share
The growth rate is 6.3%
= 6.3/100
= 0.063
The stock is sold at a price of $61 per share
The first step is to calculate the estimated dividend for the next year
= $3.05×(1+0.063)
= $3.05×(1.063)
= $3.24215
Therefore, the company's cost of equity can be calculated as follows
Po= Div1/r-g
61= 3.24215/r-0.063
r-0.063= 3.24215/61
r-0.063= 0.05315
r= 0.05315+0.063
r= 0.1162×100
r= 11.62%
Hence the company's cost of equity is 11.62%
You purchased a machine for $1.19 million three years ago and have been applying straight-line depreciation to zero for a seven-year life. Your tax rate is 40%. If you sell the machine today (after three years of depreciation) for $724,000, what is your incremental cash flow from selling the machine?
Answer:
The incremental cash flow is $706,400
Explanation:
Calculation of Depreciation for 3 years
Depreciation = Cost / Useful years
= $1,190,000/7
= $170,000
Depreciation up to 3 years = $170,000 * 3
= $510,000
Calculation of Book value
Book value = Cost - Deprciation up to 3 years
= $1,190,000-$510,000
= $680,000
Profit on sale of assets = Sales value - Book value
= $724,000 - $680,000
= $44,000
Incremental Cash flow = Sales value - (Profit on sales of asset * Tax rate)
= $724,000 - $44,000 * 40%
= $724,000 - $17,600
= $706,400
Therefore, the incremental cash flow is $706,400
A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.
Answer:
NPV = $62,258.56
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 = $400,000
cash inflow year 1 = $100,000
cash inflow year 2 = $200,000
cash inflow year 3 = $300,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56
if you do it by hand:
NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56
A 20-year-old woman wants to purchase a $100,000 one-year life insurance policy. What should the insurance company charge the woman for the policy if it wants an expected profit of $50?
Answer:
Hello some parts of the question is missing here is the missing part
Age probability of female death
20 0.00060
30 0.00070
40 0.00095
50 0.00300
Answer : $110
Explanation:
Given that the woman is 20 years of age and wants to buy one-year life insurance policy the insurance company would have to charge her considering the probability of female death within 20 years of age
expected profit for insurance company = $50
cost of insurance = $100000
For the company to make a profit of $50 we make use of this relation
x * ( 1 - probability of female death at 20 ) - ( cost of insurance - x ) * probability of female death at 20 = 50
= x *( 1 - 0.00060 ) - ( 100000 - x ) * 0.00060 = 50
= x* ( 0.9994 ) - (60 - 0.00060 x ) = 50
= 0.9994 x - 60 + 0.00060 x = 50
hence x = 50 + 60 = $110
A firm recently reported EBITDA of $3.95 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. The firm's expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital totaled $1.2 million. How much was its free cash flow, in millions
Answer:
Free cash flow=$2.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much was its free cash flow, in millions
Using this formula
Free cash flow =[ (Operating income * (1- tax rate) + Depreciation- Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital]
Where,
Operating income =$3.95
(1- tax rate) = (1 - .40)
Depreciation=$1.20
Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital=$1.2
Let plug in the formula
Free cash flow = [($3.95 * (1 - .40) + $1.20 - $1.2]
Free cash flow=$3.95*0.60+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$3.57-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37
Therefore the amount of its free cash flow, in millions will be $2.37
a project will produce cash inflows of 5400 a year for 3 years with a final cash inflow of 2400 in year 4. The projects initial cost is 13400. what is the net present value if the required rate of return is 14.2 percent?
Answer:
NPV = $505.9242271 rounded off to $505.92
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 = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost
Where,
CF1, CF2 and so on represents the cash flow in year 1 , cash flow in year 2 and so onr represents the required rate of returnNPV = 5400 / (1+0.142) + 5400 / (1+0.142)^2 + 5400/ (1+0.142)^3 +
2400 / (1+0.142)^4 - 13400
NPV = $505.9242271 rounded off to $505.92
Manufacturing overhead—multiple application bases Staley Toy Co. makes toy flutes. Two manufacturing overhead application bases are used; some overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours at a rate of $5.60 per machine hour, and the balance of the overhead is applied at the rate of 240% of direct labor cost.
Required:
a. Calculate the cost per unit of October production of 4,200 toy flutes that required
1. Raw materials costing $490.
2. 21 direct labor hours costing $357.
3. 36 machine hours.
b. At the end of October, 3,870 of these toy flutes had been sold. Calculate the ending inventory value of the toy flutes still in inventory at October, 31.
Answer:
a. $ 0.45
b. $148.50
Explanation:
Production Cost Schedule for 4,200 toy flutes
Raw materials costing $490.00
Direct Labor $357.00
Overheads ($5.60 × 36) $201.60
Overheads ($357 × 240%) $856.80
Total Cost $1,905.40
Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Number of Units produced
= $1,905.40 / 4,200
= $ 0.45
Closing Inventory = Units Left × Cost per unit
= (4,200 - 3,870) × $ 0.45
= 330 × $ 0.45
= $148.50
The risk-free rate is 2.3 percent and the market expected return is 12 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of .87?
Answer:
The expected return = 10.739.
Explanation:
Given risk-free rate of return = 2.3 per cent
Market expected return = 12 percent
The value of beta = 0.87
Use the below formula to find the expected return.
The expected return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market expected return - risk free rate of return)
The expected return = 2.3 + 0.87 (12 – 2.3)
The expected return = 10.739

The currency drain ratio is 0.5 of deposits and the banks' reserve ratio is 0.4. What is the money multiplier?
Answer: 1.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the currency drain ratio is 0.5 of deposits and the banks' reserve ratio is 0.4.
The money multiplier is calculated as:
(1 + the currency drain ratio)/( the reserve ratio + the currency drain ratio)
= (1 + 0.5)/(0.5 + 0.4)
= 1.5/0.9
= 1.67
Therefore, the money multiplier will be 1.67.

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.)
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%
A stock priced at $61 has three-month calls and puts with an exercise price of $55 available. The calls have a premium of $5.28, and the puts cost $0.56. The risk-free rate is 1.1%. If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs?
Answer:
The Profit per option = $1.431
Explanation:
Given that:
Current stock price S = $61
Exercise Strike price X = $55
Value of call option C = $5.28
Puts Costs = $0.56
risk-free rate = (1.1% × 3)/12
risk - free rate = 0.275%
If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs
Present value of the strike price [tex]X = \dfrac{X}{(1+r)}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+\dfrac{0.275}{100})}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+0.00275)}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1.00275)}[/tex]
X = $54.849
The formula that hold for the put option can be expressed as:
P = Present value of the strike price X + C - S
P = $(54.849 + 5.28 - 61)
P = $60.129 - $61
P = - $0.871
Thus, the put option = - $0.871
This implies that the Put option is out of cash since it is negative.
Now, The Profit per option = put costs - (- put option)
The Profit per option = 0.56 - ( - 0.871)
The Profit per option = $1.431
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?
Answer:
0.296875
Explanation:
Given the following :
Probability distribution of risky funds :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)
Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%
Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%
Correlation between funds return = 0.15
Sure rate = 5.5%
To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment
For the stock fund :
Expected return = 15%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 32%
Sharpe ratio of stock fund :
(15% - 5.5%) / 32%
= 9.5% / 32%
= 0.296875
For Bond fund :
Expected return = 9%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 23%
Sharpe ratio of bond fund :
(9% - 5.5%) / 23%
= 3.5% / 23%
= 0.1521739
Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875
Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE
Answer:
1. Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment = 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
1. Average total asset
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)
Where;
Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2
Sales = $910,000
Average total asset = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:
2 = $910,000 / Average total asset
Average total asset = $910,000 / 2
Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:
Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)
Where,
Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07
Net income = ?
Sales = $910,000
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:
7% = Net income / $910,000
Net income = $910,000 * 7%
Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:
Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)
Where;
Net income = $63,700
Average total asset = $455,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000
Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE)
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)
Net income = $63,700
Average stockholders' equity = $490,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000
Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%

Brand managers know that increasing promotional budgets eventually result in diminishing returns. The first one million dollars typically results in a 26% increase in awareness, while the second million results in adding another 18% and the third million in a 5% increase. Andrews’s product Ant currently has an awareness level of 78% . While an important product for Andrews, Ant’s promotion budget will be reduced to one million dollars for the upcoming year. Assuming that Ant loses one-third of its awareness each year, what will Ant’s awareness level be next year?
Answer:
52%
Explanation:
Calculation for Ant’s awareness level be next year
First step
Based on the information given Ant current awareness level is 78% and we are told that Ant loses 1/3 of its awareness each year. Hence we are going to first calculate for Ant Starting awareness using this formula
Starting Awareness=Currently awareness level *(1-1/3 of awareness each year)
Starting Awareness=78%*2/3
Starting Awareness=52%
Second Step
Based on the information given we were told that the first one million dollars results in a 26% increase in awareness.This means that we are going to find the percentage of the awareness after promotion using this formula:
Awareness after promotion = Starting Awareness +increase in awareness
Awareness after promotion=52% + 26%
Awareness after promotion= 78%
The last step is to find the what Ant’s awareness level will be next year using this formula
Awareness level next year = Awareness after promotion * 2/3
Awareness level next year = 78%*2/3
Awareness level next year= 52%
Therefore Ant’s awareness level next year will be 52%

Hawk Corporation purchased 10,000 Diamond Corporation bonds in 2015 for $55 per bond and classified the investment as securities available for sale. The value of the Diamond investment was $85 per bond on December 31, 2016, and $97 on December 31, 2017. During 2018, Hawk sold all of its Diamond investment at $147 per bond. In its 2018 income statement, Hawk would report:_________.
Answer:
Gain of $920,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement.
First step is the adjustment of Hawk accumulation of unrealized holding gain and fair value for 205-2017
Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=($97- 55) × 10,000 shares
Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=$42×10,000 shares
Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment= $420,000
Second step is to find the additional increase that occurred in 2018
Additional increase=($147-$97)×10,000 shares
Additional increase=50×10,000 shares
Additional increase =$500,000
Last step is to find the total gain realized in the income statement
Total gain realized=$500,000+$420,000
Total gain realized=$920,000
Therefore what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement will be a gain of $920,000
