When one uses the after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to value a levered firm, the interest tax shield is A) not accounted for by the use of the WACC. B) considered by deducting the interest payment from the cash flows. C) automatically considered because the after-tax cost of debt is included within the WACC formula. D) capitalized by the levered cost of equity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  C) automatically considered because the after-tax cost of debt is included within the WACC formula.

Explanation:

When calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for a levered firm, the interest tax shield is included because the cost of debt used is adjusted for tax as shown below:

= (Weight of debt * Cost of debt( 1 - tax rate) ) + (Weight of equity * cost of equity)

As shown above, the interest tax shield is already implicit in the formula so there is no need to adjust the levered firm for an interest tax shield as this would lead to double-counting.

A company receives a 10%, 90-day note for $2,700. The total interest due on the maturity date is: (Use 360 days a year.)

Answers

Answer:

Interest amount = $67.5

Explanation:

Use the below formula to find the interest amount:

Interest amount = The value of note x Interest rate x (90 / 360)

Given value of note = $2700

Interest rate = 10%

Time = 90/360

Now plug the value in the above formula and solve for the interest due:

Interest amount = The value of note x Interest rate x (90 / 360)

Interest amount = 2700 x 10% x (90 / 360)

Interest amount = $67.5

An example of fast tracking a project schedule would be to overlap the design and production phases for a design-to-production project, where the conventional approach would be to move on to construction only after completing the design phase.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.

Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.

Furthermore, the main purpose of project management is working toward a common goal.

This ultimately implies that, project managers should ensure adequate attention and time is taken to identify, analyze and manage capital, raw materials, people, system of tasks and other resources, so as to effectively and efficiently achieve a common goal with all project stakeholders.

The fundamentals of Project Management includes;

1. Project initiation

2. Project planning

3. Project execution

4. Monitoring and controlling of the project.

5. Adapting and closure of project.

In the execution of a project, delaying a task normally affects the start or finishing time of the other tasks (successors) in a project.

The amount of time that is permitted for an activity to be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following (succeeding) activities refers to the free slack or having an adverse effect on entire project.

A project schedule can be defined as a plan that comprises of the deliverables, activities and milestones with respect to a project, especially by including the intended start and finish dates.

The time for the implementation or execution of a project can be fast-tracked by a project manager.

For example, you can fast-track a design-to-production project by overlapping the design and production phases; especially by moving on to construction only after completing the design phase.

Suppose you borrow at the risk-free rate an amount equal to your initial wealth and invest in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 20%. The risk-free asset has an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio.

Answers

Answer: 28%

Explanation:

First, we have to make an assumption that the initial wealth is 100, then the weight of the risk free asset will be:

= Amount invested in risk free / Initial wealth

= -100/100

= -1

The weight of the portfolio will be calculated as:

= 1 - weight of risk free asset

= 1-(-1)

= 1 + 1

= 2

Therefore, the expected return on the resulting portfolio will be:

= 2 × 16 + [(-1) × 4]

= 32 - 4

= 28

Bims Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 2,400 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 62,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 20,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month

Answers

Answer:

56,400 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department is given below:

But the transferred units is

=  Beginning work in process inventory units + additional units - ending work in process inventory units

= 2,400 units + 62,000 units - 20,000 units

= 44,400 units

Now the equivalent units for conversion costs equal to

=  Transferred units × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion

= 44,400 units × 100% + 20,000 units ×60%

= 44,400 units + 12,000 units

= 56,400 units

Supriya invested $14,320 in a highly rated ETF. At the end of four years, she had $18,434. What was her annual effective yield on this investment

Answers

Answer:

6.517%

Explanation:

Present Value PV = $14,320

Future Value FV = $18,434

Number of period Nper = 4

Annual effective yield = Rate(Nper, Pmt, Pv, -Fv)

Annual effective yield = Rate(4, 0, 14320, -18434)

Annual effective yield = 0.06517

Annual effective yield = 6.517%

Lucy has been the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation since 1980. At the end of 2011, Lucy's stock basis is $23,500, and she receives a distribution of $25,000. Corporate level accounts are computed as follows.
AAA 7,000
PTI 11,000
Accumulated E&P 600

a. $600
b. $7,000
c. $6,400
d. $900
e. None of the above

Answers

Answer: d. $900

Explanation:

Capital gain = Total distribution - AAA as this isn't taxed - Accumulated E&P - PTI which isn't taxed either - Stock basis

Stock basis = Stock basis - AAA - PTI

What is Balanced Budget?

A balanced budget is one in which total revenues equal or exceed total costs. After a full year of revenues and expenses have been incurred and recorded, a budget can be declared balanced. Budget deficits, according to proponents of a balanced budget, burden future generations with debt.

Example of Balanced Budget-

If Michael and Jessica earn $75,000 per year but spend only $70,000, they have a balanced budget because their expenses are equal to or less than their income. They can use the extra $5,000 in their budget to pay off debt or meet their savings goals in this situation.

If the substitution effect of the real interest rate on saving is larger than the income effect of the real interest rate on saving, then a rise in the real interest rate leads to a ________ in consumption and a ________ in saving, for someone who's a lender.

Answers

Answer:

rise, fall

Explanation:

In the case when the subsitution effect with respect to the real rate of interest should be saved and more than the income effect on the real rate of interest so if there is an increased in the real rate of interest so there is an increase in the consumption also there is the fall in the savings

E Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 54,000 units per month is as follows: Per Unit Direct materials $ 49.60 Direct labor $ 9.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.50 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 20.10 Variable selling & administrative expense $ 4.60 Fixed selling & administrative expense $ 22.00 The normal selling price of the product is $114.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $90.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:

Answers

Answer: $91120

Explanation:

The The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company will be calculated thus:

Incremental revenue = (3400 × $90.40) = $307360

Less: Incremental Cost

Direct material (3400 × $49.60) = $168640

Direct labor (3400 × $9.5) = $32300

Variable manufacturing overhead = (3400 × $2.5) = $8500

Variable selling & administrative expense = (3400 × $2) = $6800

Total incremental Cost = $216240

Therefore, the monthly financial advantage will be:

= $$307360 - $216240

= $91120

In this market, the equilibrium hourly wage is $ , and the equilibrium quantity of labor is thousand workers. Suppose a senator introduces a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $6. This type of price control is called a .

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium hourly wage is the wage where the curve of supply of labor intersects with that of the demand for labor. The same goes for the equilibrium quantity of labor.

The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 450 thousand workers.

If a Senator introduces a minimum hourly wage, this is considered a Price Floor.

Price floors are prices that that the government mandates that one cannot charge below for a good or service.

given an outcome of 4,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

given an outcome of 5,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

given an outcome of 6,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

The expected value of playing the game = 0.166667+0.333333+0.5-0.083333-0.083333-0.083333

= 0.750001

He has hired you as a consultant to analyze the types of bias that could be causing poor decisions. If you can identify the biases that may cloud their judgment, then they can be made aware of these tendencies so they can improve their performance. You gather data about Kwikee Shoppe managers’ most recent decisions.
Stella is in charge of the western region, and she has a strong track record of opening new stores that perform well and closing stores that could not contribute satisfactorily to the bottom line. Lately, however, many of her new stores have had below average performance, and she has closed some stores that probably could have been turned around by putting a different store manager in charge, advertising more, or offering more specials on popular products.

A. Consult with other regional managers for their opinion before closing stores.

Answer:

The way that Stella would overcome this bias is:

D. Focus on the stores that she closed that would not have improved with a different manager in place, additional advertising, or sales.

Explanation:

The other listed actions would enable Stella to overcome her personal bias, which may be clouding her sense of judgment.  The focus on the stores that she had closed would only puff her ego instead of reducing bias.  To focus on the past when Stella is proud of her achievements cannot allow her to objectively review the situation in order to improve on her decisions and performance.
