You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 19 percent in a booming economy, 14 percent in a normal economy, and lose 3 percent in a recessionary economy. There is 21 percent probability of a boom, 70 percent chance of a normal economy, and 9 percent chance of a recession. What is your expected rate of return on this stock?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 0.1352 or 13.52%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.

The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or state to occur rA, rB and so on are the return in different events  or states

r = 0.21 * 0.19  +  0.7 * 0.14  +  0.09 * -0.03

r = 0.1352 or 13.52%

The ______ rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund

Answers

Answer:

nominal

Explanation:

There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.

McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.70 per share with the first dividend exactly 14 years from today. If the required return is 3.6 percent, what is the current price of the stock?

Answers

Answer:

$64.89

Explanation:

Calculation for the current price of the stock

First step is to find the preference stock value at end of 13 years

Using this formula

P13= Annual dividend/Required return

Let plug in the formula

P13=$3.70/.036

P13= $102.78

The second step is to calculate for the current price of the stock

Using this formula

P0= P13/(1+Required return)^Dividend years

Let plug in the formula

P0= $102.78/(1 + .036)^13

P0=$102.78/(1.036)^13

P0=$102.78/1.5837

P0=$64.89

Therefore the current price of the stock will be $64.89

Downtown Bancshares has 40,000 shares of $8 par common stock outstanding. Suppose Downtown declares and distributes a 16% stock dividend when the market value of its stock is $20 per share.
1. Journalize Downtown's declaration and distribution of the stock dividend on May 11. An explanation is not required.
2. What was the overall effect of the stock dividend on Downtown's total assets? On total liabilities?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The journal entry is shown below:

Retained earnings Dr (40,000 shares × 16% × $20) $128,000

         To Common stock   (40,000 shares × 16% × $8) $51,200

         To Paid in capital in excess of par value - common stock $76,800

(Being the declaration and the stock distribution is recorded)

2. Since the retained earnings is debited which reduced the equity by $128,000 but at the same time it also increased the equity via common stock and paid in capital by $128,000 so the overall effect should be NIL or zero

Also the assets and liabilities remains unaffected

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%

Lead time for one of your​ fastest-moving products is 24 days. Demand during this period averages 110 units per day. ​a) What would be an appropriate reorder​ point? nothing units ​(enter your response as a whole​ number). ​b) How does your answer change if demand during lead time​ doubles? nothing units ​(enter your response as a whole​ number). ​c) How does your answer change if demand during lead time drops in​ half? nothing units ​(enter your response as a whole​ number).

Answers

Answer:

a.) reorder point = 2,640 units

b.) reorder point = 5,280 units (reorder point doubles)

c.) reorder point = 1,320 units (reorder point drops in half)

Explanation:

Reorder point is the inventory level (point) at which action is taken (order placed) to replenish the stocked item. It is calculated as follows:

Reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock

Lead time = 24 days

average daily sales = 110 units

safety stock = 0 (not given)

a.) reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock

reorder point = (24 × 110) + 0 = 2,640 units

b.) if demand during lead time doubles:

lead time = 24 days

average daily sales = (110 × 2) = 220

∴ reorder point = 220 × 24 = 5,280 units

Therefore the reorder point doubles

c.) if demand during lead time drops in half:

lead time = 24 days

average daily demand = (110 ÷ 2) = 55 units

∴ reorder point = 24 × 55 = 1,320 units

Therefore the reorder point drops in half.

You have an annuity which pays $1,200 every two years. The first payment is two years from now and the last payment is ten years from now. You can trade that annuity for another annuity of equivalent present value, which pays $180 per quarter starting today. The interest rate for both annuities is 4% per annum convertible quarterly. If you took the second annuity, how many quarterly payments would you receive? The last payment may be less than $180 but not more than $180.

Answers

Answer:

31 payments

Explanation:

the present value of the first annuity is:

$1,200 / (1 + 1%)⁸ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)¹⁶ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)²⁴ + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)³² + $1,200 / (1 + 1%)⁴⁰ = $1,108.18 + $1,023.39 + $945.08 + $872.76 + $805.98 = $4,755.39

to determine the length of the second annuity:

PV = annuity payment x annuity factor

annuity factor = PV / annuity payment = $4,755.39 / $180 = 26.4188333

using an annuity table we must look for a present value annuity factor that corresponds to 1% interest rate and is close to 26.4188333

the annuity factor is between 30 and 31 payments. Since the final payment has to be less or equal to $180, we have to choose 31 payments.

erekes Manufacturing Corporation has prepared the following overhead budget for next month. Activity level 3,200 machine-hours Variable overhead costs: Supplies $ 16,640 Indirect labor 29,120 Fixed overhead costs: Supervision 15,400 Utilities 6,600 Depreciation 7,600 Total overhead cost $ 75,360 The company's variable overhead costs are driven by machine-hours. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 3,100 machine-hours rather than 3,200 machine-hours

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable overhead= $45,760

Total fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead cost= $75,360

First, we need to calculate the  variable predetermined overhead rate:

Variable predetermined overhead rate= 45,760/3,200= $14.3 per machine hour

Now, for 3,100 hours:

Variable overhead= 14.3*3,100= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400 over each of the next five years, respectively. What is the project's payback period?

Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400

The payback period is the time required to recover for the initial investment:

Year 1= 6,600 - 27,250= -20,650

Year 2= 8,700 - 20,650= -11,950

Year 3= 9,100 - 11,950= -2,850

Year 4= 8,000 - 2,850= 5,150

To be more accurate:

(2,850/8,000)*365= 130

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Answers

Answer: Default risk differences.

Explanation:

The Default risk is the inherent risk a lender faces that a borrower will not pay them back the debt they want to borrow. The lender will therefore charger a high return to cater for this risk. The higher the risk, the higher the return charged.

T-bonds have no default risk because they are guaranteed by the US Government which is why it's rate is the lowest. For the other bonds, there is something called a Credit rating. Bonds are usually rated on how risky it will be to lend to the company borrowing with AAA being of the lowest risk. Therefore as one goes up from AAA, the bonds will have higher default risks.

Company ABC is required to pay their customers $20,000 after 3 years. Based on an annual effective interest rate of 4%, Andy, the company’s actuary, uses full immunization strategy to construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond. Calculate the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met.

Answers

Answer:

Par amount = $9,615.39

Explanation:

The condition that must hold in order to meet full immunization are as follows:

Condition 1: PV(assets) = PV(liabilities)

Condition 2: MD(assets) = MD(liabilities) or P'assets = P'liabilities

Condition 3: There is one asset cash inflow before the liability cash outflow, and there is also one asset cash inflow after the liability cash outflow.

Where PV denotes Present Value and MD denotes Macaulay Duration.

PV(liabilities) = Amount required to pay / (1 + i)^n ............ (1)

Where;

Amount required to pay = $20,000

i = interest rate = 4%

n = number of years after = 3 years

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

PV(liabilities) = $20,000 / (1 + 4%)^3 = 17,779.93

Let;

A = Weight of two-year-zero-coupon bond in the portfolio

n = Macaulay Duration of n-year-zero-coupon bond

Therefore, we can construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond as follows:

A(2) + (1 – A)(4) = 3

2A + 4 – 4A = 3

2A – 4A = 3 – 4

-2A = - 1

A = -1/-2

A = 0.5

We can now calculate the par amount as follows:

Par amount = PV(liabilities) * A * (1 + i)^t .............. (2)

Where t = 2 as the duration of the bond

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

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * (1 + 4%)^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.04^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.0816

Par amount = $9,615.39

Therefore, the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met is $9,615.39.

Answer: Liabilities =$38,000

Explanation: An asset whether tangible or intangible is a source of value to a company examples are Cash, investments, accounts receivables etc

Liabilities are referred to the debts owed to a company or buisness at a particular period eg bank debts, tax owed, wages owed etc.

Equity is the measure of value of a company"s asset eg  Common stock, retained earnings, , preferred stock etc.

The three above are related using the equation below

Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Total Liabilities = Assets - Equity

Total asset = Cash + Account receivables = 26,000+42,000=68,000

Total equity = Common stock + retained earnings = 18,000+12000=30,000

Total liabilities =Total asset -total equity

A project has cash flows of -152,000, 60,800, 62300, and 75000 for years 0 to 3 respectively. The required rate of return is 13 years percent. Based on the internal rate of return of__________percent, you should________the project.

Answers

Answer:

Based on the IRR of 14.05 percent, you  should be accept the project

Explanation:

Internal rate of Return is the discount rate of that equates the present value of cash inflows to the initial cost. It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to evaluate a project without causing harm to the shareholders.

It is calculated as follows:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of cash inflows - initial cost

Step 1: NPVa at 13% discount rate

PV of cash inflow =  60,800× 1.13^(-1) + 62300 ×1.13^(-2) +   75000 ×1.13^(-3)

                           =  154,574.11  

NPVa =  154,574.11   - 152000 =  2,574.11  

Step 2: NPVb  at 20%

PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.20^(-1) + 62300 ×1.20^(-2) +   75000 ×1.20^(-3)   =  137,333.33  

NPVb =  137,333.33   - 152,000 =  (14,666.67)

Step 3: IRR

IRR = 13% + ( 2,574.11  /(2,574.11  + 14,666.67) )× (20-13)%

IRR = 14.05%

Based on the IRR of 14.05%, the project you  should be accept the project

Since the IRR (14.05%) is greater than the required rate rate (13%) , the project should be accepted. An IRR which is  higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would increase the wealth of the shareholders

If a company uses straight-line depreciation, the annual average investment can be calculated as: (Check all that apply.)

Answers

Answer: beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

(the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

(beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation is simply when an asset begin to wear and tear and thereby its value is reduced.Straight line depreciation is calculated when the difference between the cost of an asset and the expected salvage value is divided by the number of years it is projected to be used.

Using this method, the annual average investment can be calculated as:

• beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Colorado experiences a record snowfall during the winter season. What impact will this have on the market for snowmobiles?

Answers

Answer:

The demand curve for snowmobiles will increase and the price of snowmobiles will rise.

Explanation:

Demand is defined as the quantity of a good that is requested by a customer at a given price and time.

In the given instance there was heavy snowfall during the winter season that will result in more people wanting to go out on the snow.

When there is a change in demand as a result of a factor apart from price demand shifts.

In this case demand will shift to the right (increase).

Demand will increase at an increased price.

This is illustrated in the attached diagram.

Demand shifts from D1 to D2 and price increases from P1 to P2

Required:Prepare a forecasted contribution margin income statement for 2018 assuming the company purchases this machine.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $244

Unitary variable cost= 195 - 8= $187

Fixed costs= 327,600 + 37,000= $364,600

We need to determine the new pre-tax income:

Sales= 244*10,000= 2,440,000

Total variable cost= 187*10,000= (1,870,000)

Total contribution margin= 570,000

Fixed costs= (364,600)

Pre-tax income= 205,400
