Answer:
contact enough dealers so that a reasonable market quote is obtained . when a municipal dealer acts in an agency capacity, the price charged must be representative of the market for that type of security. There is no requirement to obtain a pre-set number of quotes (as a contrast, FINRA requires that a minimum of 3 quotes be obtained for non-NASDAQ OTC issues, meaning OTCBB or Pink Sheet issues), nor is there a requirement to direct the customer to a dealer that physically has those bonds. The dealer would not sell short the bonds to the customer, since short covering is very difficult in the thinly traded municipal market.
The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture?
Answer:
The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.
Explanation:
Let the minimum annual revenue = X
Therefore,
The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows
X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)
Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.
X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)
X(5.847) = 130.858
X = 130.858 / 5.847
X = 22.38 millions
The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.
4. Suppose you hold a PUT option on Israeli shekels with a strike price of 3.4207s/$. 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?
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 .
You are feeling overwhelmed by the number of potential goals you could set for your business unit. You ask your colleague Dan for advice on the process he uses to set goals. Which of the following suggestions from Dan is wrong? He suggests that you
Answer:
prioritize goals according to their value to the organization
Explanation:
Goal setting is an action plan that is set to motivate someone towards achieving a goal. Individuals, organizations set goals as part of their personal development plans hence must be Specific, Measurable, Action oriented, Realistic and Timely(SMART).
With regards to the above scenario, prioritizing goals according to their value to the organization is wrong. While it is important to prioritize goals, such must however be made to align with the business's strategic objectives.
It is also important to stick to goals already set instead of constantly changing them. Sometimes too, customers put pressure on business owners to consider certain goals which might be beneficial; such should also be looked into after considering their pros and cons.

The GoT cups are a fast seller and you need to ensure that you have enough rolls of paper to fulfill demand. The first stage in the process is to determine the total cost of the current inventory ordering model. Given the following information, how many rolls should they order to minimize costs?H: $1.75 per unitD: 500 rolls per monthQ: 100 units ordered at a timeS: $25 per order
Answer:
EOQ = 414 rolls
Explanation:
In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.
DATA
Holding cost = $1.75/unit
Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls
Ordering cost = $25
Formula
EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = ordering cost
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost
Solution
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = 414 rolls
They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.
Answer:
119 units
Explanation:
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]
EOQ is 119 units.
Harver company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 58000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. 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%
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.
The open interest on silver futures at a particular time is the Group of answer choices number of all long or short silver futures contracts outstanding. number of silver futures contracts traded during the day. number of silver futures contracts traded the previous day. number of outstanding silver futures contracts for delivery within the next month.
Answer:
number of all long or short silver futures contracts outstanding.
Explanation:
The open interest on silver futures at a particular time is the number of all long or short silver futures contracts outstanding. Open interest can be defined as the total or overall number of contracts (open long and short positions) outstanding in a futures market.
In stocks exchange, when a contract begins trading it has an open interest that is equal to zero and in future dates, more contracts are entered into as time passes by.
Additionally, majority of the contracts are liquidated before their maturity date.

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?
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%
The failure to record a purchase of mer chandise on account even though the goods are properly included in the physical inven tory results in
Answer: D. an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of owners' equity
Explanation:
If a purchase of merchandise was not recorded, it would mean that Purchases being an expense that contributes to the Cost of Goods sold would be understated.
This understatement would mean that the the Net income is overstated because the purchase expenses were never deducted from it. Net Income is part of owners' equity so if it is overstated, so is owners' equity .
You short-sell 100 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co., now selling for $44 per share. What is your maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost
Answer:
$4,400
Explanation:
Calculation for the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost
Using this formula
Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share
Let plug in the formula
Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000
Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0
Maximum possible gain=$4,400
Therefore the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost will be $4,400
A catering company prepared and served 375 meals at an anniversary celebration last week using 3 workers. The week before, 2 workers prepared and served 225 meals at a wedding reception
a1. Calculate the labor productivity for each event. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Anniversary Wedding meals/worker meals/worker
a2. For which event was the labor productivity higher?
Anniversary
Wedding
Answer:
for anniversary = 125
for wedding = 112.5
anniversary
Explanation:
Labour productivity = number of meals / total number of workers
for anniversary = 375 / 3 = 125
for wedding = 225 / 2 = 112.5
labour productivity is higher for the anniversary because one unit of labour produces more meals when compared to the wedding.
In 2019, Tim sells Section 1245 property for $28,000 that he had purchased in 2009. Tim has claimed $5,000 in depreciation on the property and originally purchased it for $15,000. How much of the gain is taxable as ordinary income?
Answer:
The taxable amount at an ordinary rate = $5000
Explanation:
The selling price of a property in 2019 is = $28000
The depreciation on the property = $5000
Original purchased price of property = $15000
Adjusted tax = an orginal price – depreciation
Adjusted tax = 15000 – 5000 = $10000
Gain = selling price – adjusted tax
Gain = 28000 – 10000 = $18000
The part of gain ($18000) that is taxable as ordinary rate = $5000
Here, $13000 will be taxed as section 1231 as a gained tax at capital gain rate.
Rahman stock just paid a dividend of $3.00 per share. Future dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. What is the value of the stock if the required return is 12%
Answer:value of stock for the required return of 12 % = $53
Explanation:
Given
current dividend just paid = $3.00
dividend to grow at constant rate of 6%
required rate of return =12%
to calculate the value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % , we use the dividend growth model which is
Current price = dividend ( 1 + growth rate )/ (required rate -growth rate )
= 3 x (1+6%) / 12-6 = 3 x 1.06 /6% =3.18/0.06= $53
Therefore value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % ,= $53

A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.
A customer has purchased 10,000 shares of Fromage stock, a Swiss cheese company. The stock is not traded in the United States. Fromage declares and pays a dividend of 15,000 Swiss Francs, which, when converted to dollars, equals $10,000. Switzerland imposes a 20% withholding tax on dividends repatriated outside its borders. How is the dividend reported on this investor's U.S. tax return
Answer:
$10,000 of dividends are reported, along with a $2,000 tax credit for monies withheld in Switzerland
Explanation:
As we know that if there is a direct investment in a foreign security, so the foreign country having a tax on dividend send an individual his home country against his will now if this condition arise so the same i.e tax credit should be levy on the same person while filing the U.S tax return
Since $10,000 dividend is received along with it $2,000 would be the tax credit
3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?
Answer:
“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"
Have they outlived their usefulness?
No.
The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness. They remain very useful and relevant to our world today. The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch. They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.
But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries. Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best. Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes. There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.
In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental. While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises. This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt. National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.
Explanation:
The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries. It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity. The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.
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.
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%
Titan Mining Corporation has 7.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 280,000 shares of 4.5% preferred stock outstanding, and 165,000 bonds with a semi-annual coupon rate of 5.9% outstanding, par value $2,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $61 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $95 per share, and the bonds have 19 years to maturity and sell for 109% of par. The market risk premium is 7.1%, T-bills are yielding 3.5%, and the company’s tax rate is 25%.
A. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?
B. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?
Answer:
A. The Capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt
B. The firm should discount the project’s cash flows at 4.45 %.
Explanation:
Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Preferred Shares
Market Value of Equity = 280,000 shares × $61
= $17,080,000
Market Value of Preferred Shares = 280,000 shares × $95
= $26,600,000
Market Value of Debt = 165,000 bonds × $2,000 × 109%
= $359,700,000
Total Market Value = $403,380,000
Capital Structure :
Weight of Equity = $17,080,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 4.23 %
Weight of Preferred Shares = $26,600,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 6.59 %
Weight of Debt = $359,700,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 89.17 %
Thus, the market value capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt
Firms use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to discount the project’s cash flows.
Cost of Debt, r
PV = $2000 × 109 % = - $2,100
PMT = ($2,000 × 5.9%) ÷ 2 = $59
n = 19 × 2 = 38
P/YR = 2
FV = $2,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, Pretax cost of debt, r is 5,47 %
After tax cost of debt = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5,47 % × ( 1 - 0.25)
= 4.10 %
Cost of Equity
Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Risk Premium Portfolio
= 3.5 % + 1.15 × 7.1%
= 11.67 %
Cost of Preference Stock
Cost of Preference Stocks = 4.5%
WACC = ke(W/V) + kd(D/V) + kp(P/V)
= 11.67 % × 4.23 % + 4.10 % × 89.17 % + 4.5% × 6.59 %
= 4.45 %
A manager is attempting to assess the probability of a recession ending in the next six months and its impact on expected profitability. The manager believes there is a 75 percent chance the recession will end in six months and profits will return to $400 million. However, there is a 25 percent chance the recession will not end in six months, resulting in a $5 million loss. The expected profits over the next six months are:
Answer:
Expected profit = $298.75 million
Explanation:
To calculate the expected return or expected profits, we will simply multiply the probability of each event by the return expected in that event and take a sum the answers. Thus, the expected profit can be calculated as follows,
Expected profit = Probability of recession ending * Profit if recession ends + Probability of recession not ending * profit or loss if recession does not end
Expected profit = 0.75 * 400 + 0.25 * -5
Expected profit = $298.75 million
f covered interest arbitrage opportunities do not exist, Group of answer choices interest rate parity holds. interest rate parity does not hold. interest rate parity holds, and arbitragers will be able to make risk-free profits. arbitragers will be able to make risk-free profits. interest rate parity does not hold, and arbitragers will be able to make risk-free profits.
Answer: interest rate parity holds
Explanation:
Covered interest arbitrage is a trading strategy that is used by an investor when the person whereby takes advantage of the differences in interest rate between two nations and invest in the currency that brings higher value.
If covered interest arbitrage opportunities do not exist, it simply means that interest rate parity holds.
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?
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
Cobe Company has already manufactured 17,000 units of Product A at a cost of $20 per unit. The 17,000 units can be sold at this stage for $410,000.

In doing so they gain more loyal customers and increase their profits in each country which they do business in.
Trevor Company discloses supplementary operating segment information for its three reportable segments. Data for 20X8 are available as follows:
Segment A Segment B Segment C
Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating
expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000
Allocable costs for the year was $180,000. Allocable costs are assigned based on the ratio of a segment's income before allocable costs to total income before allocable costs. The 20X8 operating profit for Segment B was:_______.
A) $180,000.
B) $120,000.
C) $126,000.
D) $110,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Segment A Segment B Segment C
Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000
Profit= 250,000 180,000 110,000 = 540,000
Allocable costs for the year was $180,000.
First, we need to allocate costs to Segment B:
Segment B= 180,000/540,000= 0.33
Allocate= 0.33*180,000= 60,000
Now, we can calculate the profit:

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours
Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour
Actual hours worked 7,400 hours
Actual output 950 units
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 9.6*950= 9,120
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (9,120 - 7,400)*13.4
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable
