What is the yield to maturity of a five-year, $5000 bond with a 4.5% coupon rate and semi-annual coupons if this bond is currently trading for a price of $4876?
A) 6.30%
B) 4.50%
C) 4.30%
D) 5.07%
E) 8.60%
Answer:
5.07%
Explanation:
Given the following parameters from the question:
Number of years = 5
N => Number of compounding periods = 5 * 2 = 10
FV => Face Value = $5,000
PV => Present Value = $4876
Percentage rate = 4.5%
PMT => Annuity Payment = Face Value * percentage
=> 5,000 * 0.045 = 225
Given that, it is semi annual rate, we have 225 / 2 = 112.5
CPT YTM or I/Y => Yield to Maturity = 2.53 * 2 = 5.07%
Hence, the final answer is 5.07%
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.22 million
Explanation:
The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:
Cost of capital -discount rate -
WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd
After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56
WACC = (0.71×3.56 %) + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %
PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7
PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32
Initial cost = 9.1 million
NPV = 10.32 - 9.1 = 1.22 million
NPV = $1.22 million

Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 50 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 35% of the $12 unit cost and that annual demand is about 235 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?
Answer:
ordering costs = $22.34
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)
D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 5050 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]
2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20
$10,500 = 2 x S x 235
S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34

B.Number of new shares $500,000
Numbers of right needed 5.8
C.Ex-rights price $40.82
Value of a right $1.18
D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000
Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000
Explanation:
A.
The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares
The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0
B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold
Using this formula
Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share
Let plug in the formula
Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share
Number of new shares=$500,000
Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share
Using this formula
Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000
Numbers of right needed=5.8
C. Calculation for the ex-rights price
Using this formula
Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)
Let plug in the formula
Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)
Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8
Ex-rights price=$40.82
Calculation for the value of a right
Using this formula
Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price
Let plug in the formula
Value of a right=$42-$40.82
Value of a right=$1.18
D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42
Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000
Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)
Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360
Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000

The last dividend paid by Coppard Inc. was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 27.5% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price
Answer:
36.38
Explanation:
The Current stock price can be calculated by identifying Present value of dividends in all three years adding terminal value of dividends in year 3.
Year Dividend Growth Dividend PV factor Present Values
1 1.25 127.5% 1.59 0.900901 1.43
2 1.59 127.5% 2.03 0.811622 1.64
3 2.03 127.5% 2.59 0.731191 1.88
3 42.987(w) 0.731191 31.43
Total PV 36.38
Current Dividend = 2.59
Rate of return = 11.00%
Growth Rate = 6.00%
Terminal value = Current Dividend*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)
Terminal value = 2.59 x (1+0.06) / (0.11-0.06)
Terminal value =42.987
Current stock price = 1.43 +1.64+1.88+31.43
Current stock price = 36.38
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?
Answer:
COGS= $130,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.
Sales= $200,000.00
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
Gross margin= sales - COGS
COGS= sales - gross margin
COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)
COGS= $130,000

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?
Answer:
Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce. This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.
Explanation:
Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace. Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances. This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures. In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.
The key cause due to which the performance appraisal becomes problematic due to diversity in the workforce would be:
- Cultural bias
What is performance appraisal?
Performance appraisal is described as the process of reviewing the performances done by the employees in a particular organization to attain its goals and reward them accordingly.
When the workforce of a particular company or organization becomes exceedingly diverse, it becomes problematic to do performance appraisals.
The reason behind this is that this diversity gives rise to cultural biases and may result in discrimination.

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.
