Determine for each year (1) the working capital, (2) the current ratio, and (3) the quick ratio. Round ratios to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

1. Previous Year =  $1,820,000, Current Year = $2,550,000

2. Previous Year = 3.80 times , Current Year = 4.40 times

3. Previous Year = 2.70 times,  Current Year = 3.00 times

Explanation:

working capital = current assets - current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 - $650,000

                                                    = $1,820,000

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 - $750,000

                                                    = $2,550,000

Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 3.80 times

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 4.40 times

Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = ($2,470,000 - 674,100) ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 2.70 times

working capital (Previous Year) = ($3,300,000 - 1,039,500) ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 3.00 times

Explanation:

Lopez Company uses both standards and budgets. For the year, estimated production of Product X is 500,000 units. Total estimated cost for materials and labor are $1,400,000 and $1,700,000.
Compute the estimates for (a) a standard cost and (b) a budgeted cost. (Round standard costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

Answers

Answer:

a. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of material ÷ Estimated production

= $1,400,000 / 500,000 unit

= $2.80 per unit

Thus, the standard cost of material is $2.80, and the budgeted cost is $1,400,000.

b. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of labor / Estimated production

= $1,700,000 / 500,000

= $3.40  per unit

Thus, standard cost of labor is $3.40 and budgeted cost is $1,700,000.

Suspect Corp. issued a bond with a maturity of 30 years and a semiannual coupon rate of 6 percent 4 years ago. The bond currently sells for 95 percent of its face value. The book value of the debt issue is $45 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 15 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $50 million and the bonds sell for 54 percent of par. The company’s tax rate is 40 percent.Required:a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?b. What is the company’s total market value of debt? c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

What will be the value of miscellaneous expenses in the Year 2 selling expense budget?
A. $6,200
B. $4,200
C. $3,600
D. $3,960

Answers

Answer:

$5,960

Explanation:

Fixed portion of Miscellaneous expenses = $2,000

Variable portion of Miscellaneous expenses = ($5,300 - $2,000) / $275,000

= $3,300 / $275,000

= $0.012 of sales

Miscellaneous expenses in the Year 2 selling expense budget = (Budgeted sales * Variable portion) + Fixed portion

= ($330,000 * $0.012) + $2,000

=  $3,960 + $2,000

= $5,960

Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $153,576,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?

Answers

Answer:

$153,576,000

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has sold maximum number of units that it can in the year. If it desires to sell all of its stock then it will have to decrease the cost of the product to increase the demand of the product. The least level of cost that the company can charge will be its finished goods recorded value which is the price at which the company breakevens.

Hence the additional sales would be $153,576,000 which is the carrying worth of inventory.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .

Answers

Answer:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.

The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.

The answers to the questions in the context are:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).

It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.

 

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier:

Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Therefore,

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

If there is a market with the below noted market segmentation, what would the four firm market concentration ratio be?

Distribution of sales: 30%, 3%,10%, 5%,15%, 2%, 35%

a. 10
b. 90
c. 50
d. 40

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90    

Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Suppose that we have the following information concerning the government's finances and the macroeconomy for a given year: Government Debt: $12 trillion Inflation: 10% Nominal Deficit: $1.5 trillion What is the real deficit for the year

Answers

Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)

= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion

= $300 billion

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $14,898.07

Explanation:

Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.

Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:

PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)

= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07

Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1​% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9​%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2​%, what will happen to the price of the​ bond?

Answers

Answer:

The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.

Explanation:

bond's current market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35

$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54

current market price = $3,928.89

if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80

$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01

current market price = $3,856.81

he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%

geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%

Explanation:

share price at the beginning = $50

time = 3 year

price at the end of year 1 =  $62

price at the end of year 2 = $58

price at the end of year 3 =  $64

Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%

Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%

Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100  = 10.34%

Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3

Arithmetic average rate of return =  (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3

Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%

geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1

= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1  =  8.58%

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

Suppose your yearly demand for renting DVDs is Q = 20 − 4P. If there is a rental club that charges $2 per rental plus an annual membership fee, what is the most that you would be willing to pay for the annual membership fee?

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

If P = $2 then the Q will be;

Q = 20 - 4 * 2

Q = 20 - 8

Q = 12

The maximum annual membership fee will be equal to the amount of demand. The annual membership fee cannot be greater than the demand function if so there will be decline in the demand.

A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:

Answers

Answer:

-$400 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)

= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)

= $14,000 - $14,400

= -$400 unfavorable

Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.
