What's the future value of an investment of $1 a year for each of 4 years, at the end of the last year? Suppose the interest rate is 8%.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4.51

Explanation:

We have to calculate fva. The future value of annuity

Here is the formula

Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]

Where a = annuity

I = interest rate

N = number of years

Inserting into formula

1[(1+0.08)^4 - 1/0.08]

= 1[(1.36049 - 1)/0.08]

= 4.51

Therefore the future investment is $4.51

Idaho Industries Inc. is considering a project that has an initial aftertax outlay or aftertax cost of​ $450,000. The respective future cash inflows from its fiveyear project for years 1 through 5 are​ $95,000 each year. Idaho expects an additional cash flow of​ $60,000 in the fifth year. The firm uses the IRR method and has a hurdle rate of​ 10%. Will Idaho accept the​ project? A. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than​ 10%. B. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than​ 5%. C. Idaho rejects the project because it has an IRR less than​ 10%. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

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

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-450,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000

Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000

IRR = 5.62%

Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate

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.  

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,080,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 17%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:

Sales $3,400,000
Variable expenses 1,450,000
Contribution margin 1,950,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed
out-of-pocket costs $670,000
Depreciation 828,000
Total fixed expenses 1,498,000
Net operating income $452,000

Required:

a. Compute the project's net present value.
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return.
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

Answers

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 +  $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment =  $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

Answers

The question is incomplete as it does not contain values. The following is the complete question.

UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of 1.2, and Wal-mart has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. What is the expected return a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?

Answer:

The expected return of the portfolio is Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stocks' expected returns that form up the portfolio.

The formula for portfolio's expected return is as follows,

Portfolio r = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN

Where,

w is the weight of each stock in the portfolior is the expected return of each stock

To calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we will first calculate the expected return of UPS and Wal Mart using the CAPM equation.

The formula for expected return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

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

r UPS = 0.04 + 1.2 * 0.07

r UPS = 0.124 or 12.4%

r Wal Mart = 0.04 + 0.8 * 0.07

r Wal Mart = 0.096 or 9.6%

Portfolio r = 0.4 * 0.124  +  0.6 * 0.096

Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%

Production in units 42,550 53,800 58,150 The company has 4,300 units of product on hand at July 1. 10% of the next month's sales in units should be on hand at the end of each month. October sales are expected to be 73,000 units. Budgeted sales for September would be (in units):

Answers

Answer:

56,500 units

Explanation:

The computation of Budgeted sales for September is shown below:-

we assume the no. of units sold in September be ‘x’

Budgeted Production production for September = Budgeted sale for September + desired ending inventory for September – Beginning Inventory for September

58,150 = x units + (73,000 × 10%) - (x units of Sept. × 10%)

58,150 = x + 7,300 - 0.10x

58,150 - 7300 = 0.9x

50,850 = 0.9x

x = 50850 ÷ 0.9

x = 56,500 units

Which of the following is not a recommended guideline for designing and administering a compensation and reward system that will truly motivate organization members, inspire their best efforts, and sustain high levels of productivity?
A. Make the performance payoff a major, not minor, piece of the total compensation package
B. Keep the time between achieving the target performance outcome and the payment of the reward as short as possible
C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives
D. Make sure that the performance targets that each individual or team is expected to achieve involve outcomes that the individual or team can personally affect
E. Absolutely avoid skirting the system to find ways to reward effort rather than results

Answers

Answer: C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives.

Explanation:

Employees generally prefer to be paid for their hardwork and so would prefer that their rewards are more monetary in nature than not. As good as non-monetary rewards are, they should not be on equal footing with monetary rewards. If they are, it could demotivate employees who will feel they are not getting paid their fair share.

Negative incentives get the job done but more often than not fail to positively motivate employees in such a way that they will bring out their best efforts. Negative incentives are more like punishments or the threat of them and so if they are on equal footing with positive investments, organization members will not be as motivated.

Your first baby was born yesterday and is healthy and strong. To guard against your premature death, you want to purchase a life insurance policy that will replace $58,000 of your annual income until your child is 20 years old. How much life insurance should you purchase, if you assume a 3% inflation rate

Answers

Answer:

assuming the  interest rate is = 15% the  life insurance should you should purchase = $497854.0773

Explanation:

Given that :

Annual income receipt = $58000

Assumption:

If we assume that the inflation rate π = 3% = 0.03

Also , let assume that the interest rate is = 15%  = 0.15 since it is not given too

Then the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (i-\pi)}{(1+\pi)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.15-0.03)}{(1+0.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.12)}{(1.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = 0.1165

the effective interest rate = 11.65%

Since n = [tex]\infty[/tex]

The Principal amount of how much life insurance should you purchase is;

= Annual income receipt/the effective interest rate

= $58000/ 0.1165

= $497854.0773

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now.

Answers

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.  - Trading Debt Securities

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.  - None of the Above

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.  - Trading Debt Securities

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.  - Available-for-sale debt securities

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.  - None of the above.

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

Annual demand for a product is 13,000 units; weekly demand is 250 units with a standard deviation of 40 units. The cost of placing an order is $100, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.65 per unit.a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

Answers

Answer:

a. Reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Explanation:

a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?

This can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of optimal order quantity

The optimal order quantity also known as economic order quantity (EOQ) using the following formula:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 *D*O}{C} }[/tex] ........................................... (1)

Where,

EOQ = Optimal order quantity = ?

D = Annual demands = 13,000

O = Ordering cost = $100

C = Carrying cost of annual inventory = $0.65 per unit

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*13,000*100}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2,600,000}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{4,000,000}[/tex]

EOQ = 2,000 units

Step 2: Calculation of standard deviation during the lead time

This can be calculated using the following formula:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{L*(S)^{2} }[/tex] ................................................. (2)

Where;

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = ?

L = Lead time = 4

S = Standard deviation = 40

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4 *(40)^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4*1,600}[/tex]

[tex]SL =\sqrt{6.400}[/tex]

SL = 80

Also, z = 2.05 from the standard normal distribution

Step 3: Calculation of reorder point

Total calculate reorder point, we use the following formula:

R = (d * L) + (z * SL) ............................................ (3)

Where;

R = Reorder point = ?

d = Weekly demand = 250

L = Lead time = 4

z = 2.05

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

R = (250 * 4) + (2.05 * 80)

R = 1,000 + 164

R = 1,164 units

Therefore, reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

ISS = Initial safety stock = z * SL = 2.05 * 80 = 164

If the safety stock is reduced by 100 units, we have:

NSS = New safety stock = ISS - 100 = 164 - 100 = 64

The new z (nz) can be obtained as follows:

NSS = nz * SL ................................................. (4)

Where;

NSS = 64

nz = new z = ?

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (4) and solve for nz, we have:

64 = nz * 80

nz = 64 / 80

nz = 0.80

For the new z, nz = 0.80, from Standard Normal distribution, the new service probability is 79%.

Therefore, the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Kate is in the 15% tax bracket and has $29,000 available for investment during her current tax year. Assume that she remains in the same tax bracket over the next 11 years, and determine the accumulated amount of her investment after taxes if she puts the$29,000 into the following. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)(a) a tax-deferred annuity that pays 4%/year, tax deferred for 11 years$ (b) a taxable instrument that pays 4%/year for 11 years

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The Accumulated amount of her investment atter taxes is

Before that first we have to determine the future value which is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $29,000 × (1 + 0.04)^11

= $44,644.17

And, the tax rate is 15%

So, the after tax value is

= $44,644.17 × (1 - 0.15)

= $37,947.54

b. Now for the second part it is

= Annual cash flows × Annuity factor at 3.4% for 11 years

= $29,000 × 10.638

= $308,502

- fixed expenses = $75,000

net income = $27,600

e) 20.38%

f.1) 30%

f.2) $22,800

Explanation:

                                                       Total          Per unit

Sales                                            $314,000        $20

Variable expenses                     $219,800         $14

Contribution margin                    $94,200          $6

Fixed expenses                           $75,000

Net operating income                 $19,200

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $75,000 / $6 = 12,500 units

units needed to yield expected profits = (fixed costs + expected profits) / contribution margin = ($75,000 + $27,600) / $6 = 17,100 units

margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($314,000 - $250,000) / $314,000 = 20.38%

contribution margin ratio = (total revenue - variable costs) / total revenue = ($314,000 - $219,800) / $314,000 = 30%

$76,000 x 30% = $22,800

The monthly break-even point in unit sales is 12,500 units. The total contribution margin at the break-even point is $75,000.

c) 17,100 units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of S27,600.

d) total sales revenue of $342,000

- variable costs = -$239,400

contribution margin = $102,600

- fixed expenses = $75,000

net income = $27,600

e) The company's margin of safety in percentage terms is 20.38%.

f.1) The company's CM ratio is 30%.

f.2) The  Expected monthly net operating income to increase by $22,800.

The break-even threshold is reached when overall costs and total revenues are equal, leaving your small firm with no net benefit or loss. In other words, you've achieved the point in manufacturing when the income from a product matches the cost of manufacturing.

A formula known as net operating income (NOI) is used to assess the profitability of real estate assets that produce revenue. NOI is the sum of all property revenues less all running costs that are deemed to be reasonably reasonable.

On a property's income and cash flow statement, NOI is a before-tax statistic that does not include loan principal and interest payments, capital expenses, depreciation, or amortization. In other sectors, this term is known as "EBIT," which stands for "earnings before interest and taxes."

Conclusions and recommendations are the most widely read sections of any report. Conclusions summarize a nd explain your findings and are the heart of your report. The ability to draw sound conclusions and make clear recommendations from your research is crucial to business success.

When drawing conclusions, make sure you________.

Consider the scenario:

You are making recommendations after researching and writing a report on employee vacation time and job satisfaction. What writing tips should you keep in mind when writing your recommendations?

A. Your recommendations should always be the result of prior logical analysis.

B. Your recommendations should never be in the form of a command.

C. You can combine recommendations and conclusions.

D. You should use words such as maybe and perhaps.

E. You can omit conclusions and move straight to recommendations in short reports.

Answers

Answer:

a. When drawing conclusions, make sure you summarize and explain your findings.

b. Tips for writing recommendations:

A. Your recommendations should always be the result of prior logical analysis.

B. Your recommendations should never be in the form of a command.

Explanation:

A good conclusion touches the theme or main topic, summarizes the main points, and connects with the introduction, but with a sense of closure.  Conclusions should be sound and logical.  Irrelevant conclusions are annoying to the senses.  Without a conclusion, the report will sound like one illogical move without clear direction and purpose.

Recommendations should address improvement efforts based on the problem(s) presented in the body of the report.

Night Shades, Inc. (NSI), manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $11.13 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $7.29 per unit.Required:a. What is the variable cost per unit?b. Suppose the company incurs fixed costs of $875,000 during a year in which total your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) production is 190,000 units. What are the total costs for the year?c. If the selling price is $44.99 per unit, does the company break even on a cash basis? I depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary direct material cost= $11.13

Unitary direct labor cost= $7.29

A.

Total variable cost per unit= 11.13 + 7.29= $18.42

B. Fixed costs= $875,000

Production= 190,000

Total costs= 875,000 + 18.42*190,000= $4,374,800

C.

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

Break-even point in units= 875,000 / (44.99 - 18.42)

Break-even point in units= 32,932 units

D. Depreciation= $435,000

Accounting break-even point= (875,000 - 435,000) / 26.75

Accounting break-even point= 16,449 units

How much will be in the Prepaid Insurance account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted

Answers

Answer: $8,400

Explanation:

The $9,600 is for 2 years in advance. This can be apportioned per month at a rate of;

= 9,600/24

= $400 per month.

October to the end of the year is 3 months so;

= 400 * 3

= $1,200 will be recorded for the year.

Prepaid Insurance will therefore reduce to;

= 9,600 - 1,200

= $8,400

The FREC is investigating a claim by a buyer that the broker had not given the proper disclosure to the buyer before the buyer purchased a home. The broker has paperwork dating back three years from the date of the signing of the document in question, and one year after the legal action of the case. Is the broker protected?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The Florida Real Estate Commission was constituted in 1926. Members are appointed by the Governor.

The aim of FREC is to protect ye public from bad practices by brokers. They have the authority to impose disciplinary action on lisensees.

According to requirement of the FREC the broker is required to keep records of transactions 5 years after the transaction occurred and 2 years after any legal action.

In this case the broker kept his records 3 years after the transaction and 1 year after legal action.

So he is not protected from disciplinary action by the FREC

An asset has had an arithmetic return of 11.9 percent and a geometric return of 9.9 percent over the last 86 years. What return would you estimate for this asset over the next 8 years? 23 years? 39 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

11.74% ; 11.38%; 11.01%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Arithmetic return (Ar) = 11.9%

Geometric return (Gr) = 9.9%

N = 86 years = Past period

A) Return in the next 8 years

T = future period = 8 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (8 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 8) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.0823529 * 0.099) + (0.9176470 * 0.119)

= 0.1173529301

= 0.1173529301 * 100 = 11.74%

B) over the next 23 years

T = 23 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (23 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 23) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.2588235 * 0.099) + (0.7411764 * 0.119)

= 0.1138235181

= 0.1138235181 * 100 = 11.38%

C.) over 39 years

F = 39 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (39 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 39) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.4470588 * 0.099) + (0.5529411 * 0.119)

= 0.1100588121

= 0.1100588121 * 100 = 11.01%

Which of the following statements accurately brings out the difference between technology enthusiasts and early adopters?

A. While the customer segment in the introduction stage consists of early adopters, the customers entering the market in the growth stage are technology enthusiasts.
B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.
C. While early adopters make up the smallest market segment, technology enthusiasts make up the mass market.
D. Firms need to communicate products' potential applications in a more direct way when attracting technology enthusiasts rather than early adopters.

Answers

Answer:

B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.

Explanation:

When a company is growing it attracts various types of customers that patronise their products.

The technology enthusiasts are those ones that will test a beta version of a product and make technological recommendations. They have passion for testing latest gadgets and have more knowledge of the product than the average customer.

Early adopters are those that adopt a product before most other people. They are less concerned with technology concerns, but rather are visionary.

They focus on the potential of a product and therefore promote it to other users. A trait of early adopter is that they want to stay ahead of the trend so they seek out new products.

If the capital stock is fixed and something happens to raise the marginal product of capital for any given quantity of capital, then the real rental price of capital will:

Answers

Answer: B) rise

Explanation:

The real rental price of capital refers to the cost of borrowing capital which is the interest payment on the capital less the capital gains made. As a result it is equal to the marginal product of capital which shows how much extra, a unit of capital enables the entity to produce.

Therefore, if marginal product of capital rises, as is the case in the question, so will the real rental price of capital.

Shares in prince and nice have a beta of 0.9. The expected returns to the market are 10% and the risk free rate of return is 4%. What is the cost of equity capital for prince and nice?

Answers

Answer:

9.4%

Explanation:

using the CAPM formula, the cost of equity (Re) is:

Re = Rf + B(Rm - Rf)

Rf = risk free rate = 4%Rm = market risk = 10%B = beta = 0.9

Re = 4% x [0.9 x (10% - 4%)] = 4% x (0.9 x 6%) = 4% x 5.4% = 9.4%

The cost of equity (Re) refers to the required rate of return that investors expect to receive from a certain investment, e.g. stocks or any particular project

Conor Airlines Inc. recently issued $50 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year. Yahoo.finance shows that the stock has a beta of 0.97. The current risk-free rate is 2.50% and the market return is 11%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?

Answers

Answer: $38.39

Explanation:

First calculate the required return according to CAPM;

Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)

= 2.50% + 0.97 ( 11% - 2.50%)

= 10.745%

Then using the Dividend discount model and remembering that there is no growth rate;

Value = Next dividend / ( required return - growth rate)

= (50 * 8.25%) / ( 10.745% - 0)

= 4.125/10.745%

= $38.39

Answer:

$38.29

Explanation:

Ke = Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)

Ke=0.0250+0.97*(0.11+0.0250)

Ke=0.10745

Ke=10.75 appr.

Po= Dividend / (Ke-g)

Po= 50*0.0825 / (0.10745 - 0)

Po=4.125/0.10745

Po=38.3899

Po=38.29

Thus, the intrinsiv value of this preferred stock is $38.29
