Answer:
The correct answer is "$28.03".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Good purchase,
= $25
Dividend,
= $1.40
Annually earning,
= 5%
Beta coefficient,
= 1.3
Treasury bills,
= 1.4%
Now,
= [tex]1.4+1.34\times 8-1.4[/tex]
= [tex]1.34\times 8[/tex]
= [tex]10.244[/tex] (%)
hence,
The fair value will be:
= [tex]1.4\times \frac{1.05}{.10244}-.05[/tex]
= [tex]28.03[/tex]
Absolutely, the proposal including its brokerage must be adopted because as fair market value was almost $25.
Your sister just deposited $5,500 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.8 percent for the next 6 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 6 years
Answer:
$5749.02
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the future value of my sister's deposit
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
5500 (1.088)^6 = $9122.97
the second step is to determine the present value of $9122.97 using an interest rate of 8%
$9122.97 / (1.08)^6 = $5749.02

If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Danielle has loaned $500 to Richard at a 4% annual rate of interest for one year. If the inflation rate is constant at 7% for the entire term of the loan, how much purchasing power is lost after Richard repays the loan in full
Answer:
$15
Explanation:
In order to calculate the purchasing power lost the following formulae will be used:
Purchasing power lost = Loaned amount * (inflation rate - nominal rate)
Purchasing power lost = $500 * (0.07 - 0.04)
Purchasing power lost = $500 * 0.03
Purchasing power lost = $15
Hence, the purchasing power lost after Richard repays the loan in full is $15.
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.50. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 19% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 10% thereafter. The firm's required return is 13%. How far away is the horizon date? The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
Answer:
Holt Enterprises
The terminal, or horizon, date is:
the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
a) Recent dividend, DO = $3.50
Expected non-constant growth = 19%
Period of non-constant growth = 2 years
Expected constant rate of growth = 10% after 2 years of non-constant growth
The firm's required return rate = 13%
b) The terminal or horizon date is, therefore, from the end of year 2 or beginning of year 3, when constant growth sets in with the Holt stock.
At the horizon date the dividend, D3, must have grown to $5.42 approx.
Then, the horizon value is given by the formula = D3 / required rate - growth rate
= 5.42 / 0.13 - 0.01
= 5.42 / 0.03
= $181
Carter Containers sold marketable securities, land, and common stock for $37.0 million, $13.0 million, and $35.0 million, respectively. Carter also purchased treasury stock, equipment, and a patent for $23.0 million, $23.0 million, and $10.2 million, respectively.

3. Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
Answer:
The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
On January 1, 2020, Starn Tool & Manufacturing Company purchased a copyright for $31,000 cash. It is estimated that the copyrighted item will have no value by the end of 10 years.
Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Amortization expenses for 2020 = Annual amortization expense = Copyright cost / Estimated useful life of the copyright = $31,000 / 10 = $3,100
Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 = Copyright cost - Amortization expenses for 2020 = $31,000 - $3,100 = $27,900
Copyright fair value = $21,100
Impairment loss = Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 - Copyright fair value = $27,900 - $21,100 = $6,800
Therefore, the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.

If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that:
A. a correcting entry for the overstatement of revenue was recorded. B. a customer paid in advance
C. services were provided.
D. the owner made an investment.
Answer:
C. services were provided.
Explanation:
If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: "services were provided."
For fees to be earned it means something must have been done in exchange for the fee. Considering this is a business-related issue, then it is correct to conclude that "If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: services were provided."
Option A is not correct because the overstatement of revenue is not related to the fee warmed being credited.
Option B is not correct, because a payment made in advance does not correlate to a fee earned. Option D is not correct as well, because an investment has nothing to do with a few earned.
