Answer:
$21,484
Explanation:
A company has 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par
The common stock was issued at 48,828 shares at the price of $13 for one share
The company made a 2% dividend declaration
= 2/100
= 0.02
The market price is $22 per share
Therefore, the amount that was transferred from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts can be calculated as follows
= 48,828 shares × 0.02 × $22
= $21,484
Hence the amount that was moved from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts as a result of stock dividend is $21,484
Upton Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $1.45, what is the current share price
Answer:
$71.03
Explanation:
To find the current share price we need to find the value of future dividends first and then discount it by the given rate of return
DATA
Growth rate = g = 20%
Time period = 3 years
Required return = 11%
Current dividend = Do = $1.45
Share price =?
Solution
Future dividend = Current dividend ( 1 + growth rate)
D1 = (1.45 x 1.20) = $1.74
D2 = (1.74 x 1.20) = $2.088
D3 = (2.088 x 1.20) = $2.5056
Value after year 3 = (D3 x Growth rate) / (Required return-Growth rate)
Value after year 3 = (2.5056*1.08) / (0.11-0.08)
Value after year 3 =$90.2
current share price = Future dividends x Present value of discounting factor
current share price = (1.74/1.11)+($2.088/1.11^2)+(2.5056/1.11^3)+($90.2/1.11^3)
current share price = 1.56 + 1.69 + 1.83 + 65.95
current share price =$71.03

The arrival rate is: Group of answer choices 10 per hour. 12.5 per hour. 6 per hour. 7.5 per hour. 8 per hour.
The correct answer is B. 6 per hour
Explanation:
The term "arrival rate" refers to the number of customers that arrive at a business during a specific time such as an hour or a day. This is determined by how often customers arrive or the time between arrivals. This concept complements the service rate, which refers to the customers that receive a service during a period of time.
In the case presented, it is known the time between arrivals is 10 minutes, this means it is expected every 10 minutes a new customer arrives. Based on this, each hour the business can expect a total of 6 customers as 60 minutes divided by 10 (time between arrivals) = 6 customers. Thus, the rate of arrival is 6 per hour.

Faisal has in his savings account and can save an additional per year. If interest rates are 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to ?
Answer:
5 years and 4 months = 5.33 years
Explanation:
the question is incomplete and it is missing several numbers. I found the following question which I think is the complete:
"Faisal has $12,000 in his savings account and can save an additional $3600 per year. If interest rates are 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to $47,000? "
by the end of year 1, Faisal will have:
$12,000 x (1 + 12%) = $13,440+ $3,600total = $17,040by the end of year 2, Faisal will have:
$17,040 x (1 + 12%) = $19,084.80+ $3,600total = $22,684.80by the end of year 3, Faisal will have:
$22,684.80 x (1 + 12%) = $25,406.98+ $3,600total = $29,066.98by the end of year 4, Faisal will have:
$29,066.98 x (1 + 12%) = $32,487.81+ $3,600total = $36,087.81by the end of year 5, Faisal will have:
$36,087.81 x (1 + 12%) = $40,418.35+ $3,600total = $44,018.35Since Faisal is very close to his goal, we can calculate how much money he will have in 6 months:
in 5 years and 6 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 6%) = $46,659.45+ $1,800total = $48,459.45Faisal's savings are too high in 6 more months, so we can calculate in 3 more months instead:
in 5 years and 3 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 3%) = $45,338.90+ $900total = $46,238.90Faisal is just a little bit short:
in 5 years and 4 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 43%) = $45,779.08+ $1,200total = $46,979.08I guess we are close enough because in one more month he will have a significantly higher amount.
The Bathtub Division of Kirk Plumbing Corporation has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with gold-plated fixtures for the company's 50-year anniversary. It would make only 5,000 of these units. It would like the Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $160. If sold externally, the estimated variable cost per unit would be $140. However, by selling internally, the Faucet Division would save $6 per unit on variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for $43 per unit and has variable costs of $25.
Required:
Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should be willing to accept, and discuss whether it should accept this offer.
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $152
Explanation:
The minimum transfer price can be calculated by Adding variable cost and the contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = $134 + $18
Minimum transfer price = $152
Working
Variable cost = $140 -$6(saving) = $134
Contribution margin lost = Selling price - variable cost per unit
Contribution margin lost = $43 - $25
Contribution margin lost = $18
Decision: The offer should be accepted because the minimum transfer price of $152 is less than $160

You want to save $98,000 to buy an boat by making an equal, end of year payment into a brokerage account for the next 9 years. If you expect to earn an annual interest rate of 7.75% on your account, how much do you need to deposit each year into your account?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $7,930.11
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
FV= $98,000
n= 9 years
i= 0.0775
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (98,000*0.0775) / [(1.0775^9) - 1]
A= $7,930.11
Answer: $7,930
Explanation:
The payments are to be equal so this is an annuity. The expected value is to be $98,000 in 9 years so this is a future value of an Annuity.
The formula is;
FV = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + i]^n-1}{i}[/tex]
98,000 = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + 0.075]^9-1}{0.075}[/tex]
98,000 = P * 12.3581
P = 98,000/12.3581
P = $7,930
A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $56,600. It is estimated to cost $339,600.
Required:
Determine the cash payback period.
Answer:
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $56,600
Initial investment= 339,600
The payback period is the time required for the cash flow to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 56,600 - 339,600= -283,000
Year 2= 56,600 - 283,000= -226,400
Year 3= 56,600 - 226,400= -169,800
Year 4= 56,600 - 169,800= -113,200
Year 5= 56,600 - 113,200= -56,600
Year 6= 56,600 - 56,600= 0
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
A stock has an expected return of 13.5 percent, its beta is 1.40, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What must the risk-free rate be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The risk free rate is 6.50%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.
Let risk free rate be x.
0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)
0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x
0.135 - 0.161 = x - 1.4x
-0.026 = -0.4x
-0.026 / -0.4 = x
x = 0.065 or 6.50%
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
The Government Accounting Office (GAO) announces deep cuts to social security, Medicare, and welfare programs. Which determinant of aggregate demand causes the change

Consumer spending
Explanation:
Consumer spending is the amount that individuals and families spend on final goods and services for personal use and enjoyment in the economy. Contemporary measures of consumer spending include all private purchases of durable goods, durable goods and services. Consumer spending can be thought of as a combination of personal savings, investment cost, and output in the economy.so correct answer is Consumer spendingBrunette Company is contemplating investing in a new piece of manufacturing machinery. The amount to be invested is $180,000. The present value of the future cash flows generated by the project is $163,000. Should they invest in this project?
Answer:
No, as the net present value comes in negative
Explanation:
As we know that
Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment
where,
Present value os $163,000
And, the initial investment is $180,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the net present value is
= $163,000 - $180,000
= -$17,000
Therefore the company should not accept the project as net present value is in negative that is -$17,000
The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is 0.893, 0.797, 0.712, and 0.636, respectively. Determine the net present value. $
Answer: $18,848
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of a project is the difference between the present values of the cash outflows and inflows.
Present Values of the Cash flows;
Year 1
= 150,000 * 0.893
= $133,950
Year 2
= 130,000 * 0.797
= $103,610
Year 3
=104,000 * 0.712
= $74,048
Year 4
= 90,000 * 0.636
= $57,240
Net Present Value = Cash inflows - Outflow
= 133,950 +103,610 + 74,048 + 57,240 - 350,000
= $18,848

3. There a number of market entry strategies that businesses use in entering into markets outside their countries. a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses. b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?
Answer:
a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses.
Franchising consists in the licensing of aspects of production and intellectual property to a another party: the franchise.
A Joint Venture is a business union between two or more parties, in which they split profit as well as costs and responsabilities.
b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?
Franchising can be a quicker way to expand into foreign markets. The flexibility of the method, and the lower capital requirements are the reason why. This can be seen in the success that American fast-food brands have had using this method to expand in global markets.
A Joint-Venture can be more difficult to use for market expansion, however, it can be more profitable, because the profit will not be split among as many parties as in franchising, and more importantly, the firm maintains a higher control of the operation.

Assume that the government is currently balancing the national budget so that outlays equal tax revenue. Then the economy slips into recession, and the government decides to increase government spending by $50 billion. The government must pay for this by borrowing; it must sell $50 billion worth of Treasury bonds. As a result: Group of answer choices
Answer: b. be in deficit by at least $50 billion.
Explanation:
The Government budget had been balanced but it will now have to spend $50 billion more than it is making. This will mean that Government expenditure will rise by $50 billion over the tax revenue which will lead to a deficit of the same amount.
These are bonds however meaning that the Government would have to pay interest on the $50 billion. This will push the deficit owed to over $50 billion meaning that the Government would be in deficit of at least $50 billion.
David Ortiz Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% equity. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 12%, and the company's tax rate is 40%. Ortiz's CFO has calculated the company's WACC as 11.35%. What is the company's cost of equity capital
Answer:
the company's cost of equity capital is 14.75 %.
Explanation:
WACC = ke × (E/V) + kd × (D/V)
Where,
ke = cost of equity
= this is unknown
E/V = Weight of Equity
= 55%
kd = cost of debt
= Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 12% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 7.20 %
D/V = Weight of Debt
= 45%
Therefore,
WACC = ke × (E/V) + kd × (D/V)
11.35% = 55%ke + 7.20 % × 45%
11.35% = 55%ke + 3.24 %
55%ke = 8.11 %
ke = 14.75 %
A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?
Answer:
B) plan 1 : worker earning y = x - 0.14 , unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 : worker earning y = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C) At 128%
D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE
Explanation:
In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance
In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company
B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
Plan 1 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1
unit labor cost = Y / 1
y = 0 - 30
unit labor = 0.3 / x
y = x - 0.14 therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1, y = 0.5x + 0.5
unit labor cost : Y / 1 = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C ) The point at which the two plans break even
0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14
0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x
0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )
x = 0.64 / 0.5 = 1.28 = 128%
D) The company would prefer plan 1
Kosher Pickle Company acquires all the outstanding stock of Midwest Produce for $12.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's assets is $8.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's liabilities is $1.3 million. Calculate the amount paid for goodwill
Answer:
$5.3 million
Explanation:
Kosher pickle company acquires outstanding stock of Midwest produce for $12.5 million
Fair value of Midwest assets is $8.5 million
Fair value of Midwest liabilities is $1.3 million
The first step is to calculate the fair value of net identifiable assets
= $8.5 million-$1.3 million
=7.2 million
Therefore, the amount paid for goodwill can be calculated as follows
= $12.5 million-$7.2 million
= $5.3 million
Hence the amount paid for goodwill is $5.3 million
