Workings:

w.1: Bond payable = Cash - Premium on Bonds Payable = $111,671 - $8,271

w.2: Premium on Bonds Payable = January 1 Unamortized Premium - June 30 Unamortized Premium = $8,271 - $7,444 = $827

w.3: Cash = $108,000 * 8% * (6 / 12) = $4,320

w.4: Interest expense = w.3 - w.2 = $4,320 - $827 = $3.493

w.5: Premium on Bonds Payable = June 30 1 Unamortized Premium - December 31 Unamortized Premium = $7,444 - $6,617 = $827

w.6: Cash = $108,000 * 8% * (6 / 12) = $4,320

w.7: Interest expense = w.6 - w.5 = $4,320 - $827 = $3,493

McCall Corporation has a capital structure consisting of 55 percent common equity, 30 percent debt, and 15 percent preferred stock. Any debt issues would have a pre-tax cost of 9.5%. Preferred stock can be issued for a cost of 11.5%. Common equity can be issued, but flotation costs of $4.25 per share of common stock would be paid. McCall common stock is currently selling in the market at $65 per share. McCall recently paid a dividend of $4 per share and company earnings and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% indefinitely. McCall has a marginal tax rate of 35% and the firm wants to keep its current capital structure. If the firm needs to raise additional equity, what will be the firm's cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 12.14%

Explanation:

Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%

Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%

Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g

Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%

WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?

Answers

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

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?

Answers

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

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answers

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Which of the following statements is not true about self-awareness?

a. Self-awareness involves a capacity to monitor and control biases that potentially affect your decision making.
b. Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers.
c. Self-awareness can be increased by acquiring multiple experiences in diverse situations and with diverse others.
d. Self-awareness is best described as the capacity for introspection and the ability to reconcile oneself as an individual separates from the environment and other individuals.

Answers

Answer:

b. Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers.

Explanation:

Self-awareness can be defined as a mental process, which occurs when an individual has knowledge about himself, about his knowledge, his actions and attitudes.

Therefore, in the workplace, having self-awareness is essential for a manager to achieve high performance, as this is a skill that includes knowing your skills, values, internal resources that ensure that there is the possibility of better monitoring of environments and oneself, control of emotions and improved perception of oneself and others.

This is a characteristic that adds to a manager 's assertive ability to establish communication focused on ethics, mutual respect, cordiality, etc.

The statement that is not true about self awareness from the list is B. "Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers."

Self awareness refers to the ability of one to understand their thoughts, feelings, impulses and actions. Being self aware is a very important leadership attribute.

Therefore the statement that 'managers who have low self awareness are superior performers' is wrong.

A manager that lacks self awareness will definitely not perform their job effectively.

Self awareness helps one to become better at making decisions, it helps control biases, communicate more effectively and build good relationships in the work place or other places.

Thus, we can conclude that managers who have low self awareness are not superior performers.

Answers

Answer:

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                                    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  

Harver company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 58000 units of RX5 follows.

An outside supplier has offered to supply the 58000 units of RX5 for 18.50 per unit. determine the total incremental cost making 58000 units of Rx5. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%

Answers

Answer:

Decision = Make

Explanation:

The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows

DATA

Direct material = $4  (100% variable)

Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)

Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)

Total cost per unit = $21

Offered price = $18.5 per unit

Total units = 58,000

Solution

Incremental cost of making

Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000

Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000

Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600

Total cost = $825,600

Incremental cost of buying

Total cost = No. of units x offered price

Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5

Total cost = $1,073,000

Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.

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.

Answers

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.

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?

Answers

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 = 50

50 = √[(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

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?

Answers

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.

Minimum price $0

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

Seven Manufacturing Corporation uses both standards and budgets. The company estimates that production for the year will be 100,000 units of Product Fast. To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.

Required:
Compute the estimates for a standard cost.

Answers

Answer:

Unitary cost= $14

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 100,000

To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.

First, we need to calculate the total cost and then the unitary cost:

Total cost= 600,000 + 800,000= $1,400,000

Unitary cost= 1,400,000/100,000= $14

You are aware that your neighbor trades stocks based on confidential information he overhears at his workplace. This information is not available to the general public. This neighbor continually brags to you about the profits he earns on these trades. Given this, you would tend to argue that the financial markets are at best _____ form efficient.

Answers

Answer:

Semi-strong Form Efficient.

Explanation:

There are three levels of market efficiency as weak, semi-strong and strong.

In a semi-strong form efficient market, the stock prices change independently of the previous return points and the current information so it is not possible to predict the future stock prices.

The example given in the question, which states that the neighbor has non-public information, can be classified as a semi-strong form efficient market.

4. Suppose you hold a PUT option on Israeli shekels with a strike price of 3.4207s/$. If the spot rate on the final day of the option is 3.4329s/$, how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000? Should you do it?

Answers

Answer:

Profit $3,567

I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

Explanation:

Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000

First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount

3.4329s*$1,000,000

=$3,432,900

Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price

3,432,900/3.4207

=$1,003,567

Last Step is to find the profit

Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000

Profit=$3,567

Therefore the amount of PROFIT you would make trading $1,000,000 will be $3,567

Based on the above calculation I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:

Answers

Answer:

$30.75

Explanation:

Given that

Security bidding = $30.25

Offered price = $30.75

over the counter trading = $30.75

Commission charged = $0.50

based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50

Hence, the price is $30.75

An investor holds a 10 year bond pays a coupon rate of 9%. The yeid to maturity of the bond is 10% . The bond is trading:

Answers

Answer:

the bond is trading at a discount

Explanation:

There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.

As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.

The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.

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?

Answers

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

A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 9.6%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.

Solution

Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium

Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%

Cost of equity = 9.6%
