Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the change in consumption due to change in income

Change in consumption = $7,250 - $6,500 = $750

Change in income = $11,000 - $10,000 = $1,000

MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income

MPC = 750 / 100

MPC = 0.75

Answer:

1. Ex-ante real interest rate is:

= 4%

2. Ex-post real interest rate is:

= 5%

3. The LENDER benefits from lower actual inflation.  By this, the Ex-ante real interest rate is lower than the Ex-post real interest rate at which the borrower will repay the loan.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Nominal interest = 6%

Expected inflation = 2%

Actual inflation = 1%

Ex-ante real interest rate = 4% (6% - 2%)

Ex-post real interest rate = 5% (6% - 1%)

b) The implication is that inflation is lower than expected, and this benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower.  The opposite is applicable when the inflation is higher than expected, and the result benefits the borrower at the expense of the lender.

Answer:

the current yield on the stock is 3.42%

Explanation:

the computation of the current yield on the stock is shown below:

Current yield = Annual dividends paid ÷ Current market closing price

= ($0.27 + $0.15) ÷  $12.27

= $0.42 ÷ $12.27

= 3.42%

hence, the current yield on the stock is 3.42%

we simply applied the above formula to determine the current yield on the stock

Answer:

b. All companies, regardless of the strategy being employed, should pursue actions to manage employee compensation and labor productivity in a manner that results in labor costs per pair produced that are equal to (or very close to) the industry-low in each region where the company has plants.

Explanation:

The less labor cost of production per pair could be attained in following two ways

1. The productivity level is icnreased

2. The compensation should be managed and it provides the combination of both fixed and variable. Also it pays the high compensation but at the more productivity rate due to which the labor cost per pair would fall

So as per the given situation, the option b is correct

Explanation:

A financial statement is a written report that quantitatively describes a firm's financial health. Under the financial statements is a cash-flow statement, which is used to record the cash inflow and cash equivalents leaving a business firm.

Cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.

Basically, financial statements are formally written records of the business and financial activities of a business entity or organization.

There are four (4) main types of financial statements and these are;

1. Cash flow statement: it contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.

2. Statement of changes in equity: it contains financial information about profits or loss, dividends, etc.

3. Income statement: it contains financial information about the income and expenses of an organization.

An income statement comprises of the financial information about the income and expenses of an organization over a specific period of time.

4. Balance sheet: it contains financial information about assets, liability, and equity.

Furthermore, the amount of a cash dividend liability is expected to be recorded on the particular date of record because it is this date that identify the persons or entities who receives the dividend.

Answer:

$2,969.22

Explanation:

Equal principal repayment=$2,500/5

Equal principal repayment=$500

The fact that Jeremy's son repaid $517.50 at the end of the 5th year, means that the interest paid in year 5 is the difference between the amount repaid($517.50) and the equal principal repayment($500)

interest paid in year 5=$517.50-$500=$17.50

That also means that the balance outstanding at the beginning of year 5( at the end of year 4) is $500, which effectively means that the interest rate on the loan is the determined thus:

interest paid in year 5=balance at the end of year 4*interest rate

$17.50=$500*interest rate

interest rate=$17.50/$500

interest rate=3.50%

The schedule of repayment is attached

The first repayment would be invested for 4 years, since it is occurring at the end of year 1( in years 2-5), the year 2 repayment would be invested for only 3 years and so on.

FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$587.50*(1+3.50%)^4+$570.00*(1+3.5%)^3+$552.50*(1+3.5%)^2+$535.00*(1+3.5%)^1+$517.50

FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$2,969.22

Answer:

The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of interest rate

The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type) .............(1)

Where;

nper = number of periods = number of years = 5

pmt = Fixed annual payments = Amount repaid by his son at the end of the 5th year = $517.50 = 517.50

pv = present value = Loan amount = $2,500 = 2500

fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0

type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0

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

Interest rate RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0)  .................. (2)

Inputting =RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0) into a cell in an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have:

Interest rate = 1.16%

Step 2: Calculation of the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (3)

Where,

FV = Future value = The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years =

M = Fixed annual payments = $517.50

r = Interest rate = 1.16%, or 0.0116

n = number of years = 5

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

FV = $517.50 * (((1 + 0.0116)^5 - 1) / 0.0116)

FV = $517.50 * 5.11735342258641

FV = $2,648.23

Therefore, the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.

Answer:

It has been a well known fact that competitive strategy creates a unique value for a target set of movie customers. However, it is not able to predict nor explain the outcome due to the fact that Marvel only focused on trying to compete to be the best in comic and superhero films which thus resulted in basically a case whereby there was a competition in which one participant wins totally and another loses without gaining any objectives and thus they were not able to win.

Answer:

that most likely occurred before the date of the financial statements

Explanation:

Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and financial accounting standards board (FASB).

Basically, financial statements are formally written records of the business and financial activities of a business entity or organization. The four (4) main types of financial statements are; cash-flow statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and income statement.

Furthermore, there are two (2) main methods used in financial accounting for analyzing financial statements and these are;

I. Vertical analysis.

II. Horizontal analysis.

A Type I subsequent event refers to an event that most likely occurred before the date of the financial statements. Thus, it must have been reported or posted before the date of publishing a financial statement.

On the other hand, any event that is most likely to occur after the date a financial statement is issued, is referred to as a Type II subsequent.

Answer:

Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC)

If AEC refinances its high interest bonds, its projected new ROE will be:

= 15.6%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total debt = $200,000

Debt ratio = 80%

Total assets = $250,000 ($200,000/80%)

Equity = $50,000 ($250,000 - $200,000)

Old interest rate on old debt = 14%

New interest rate on refinanced debt = 10%

Total interest = $20,000 ($200,000 * 10%)

Sales revenue = $300,000

EBIT =        $33,000

Interest       20,000

Before tax $13,000

Tax =             5,200 (40% of $13,000)

Net income $7,800

ROE = Net income/Equity * 100

= ($7,800/$50,000 * 100)

= 15.6%

Answer:

1.05

Explanation:

Beta measures systematic risk. Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away.  

The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighted beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

total value of the portfolio =  $30,000 +  $70,000 =  $100,000

percentage of stock A in the portfolio = $30,000 / $100,000 = 0.30

percentage of stock B in the portfolio = $70,000 / $100,000 = 0.70

weighted beta of stock A = 0.30 x 0.7 = 0.21

weighted beta of stock B = 0.70 x 1.2 = 0.84

Portfolio beta = 0.21 + 0.84 = 1.05
