Answer: 9%
Explanation:
The market risk premium given an expected return on a security of 18.7%, a stock beta of 1.3, and a risk-free interest rate of 7% will be calculated as:
Expected return = risk free rate + Beta × market risk premium
= (18.7% - 7%)/1.3
= (0.187 - 0.07)/1.3
= 0.117/1.3
= 0.09
= 9%
The market risk premium is 9%.

Debt levels across industries vary widely. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent. Some firms use no debt. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Complete Question:
Which one of the following is not empirically correct?
A. Debt levels across industries vary widely
B. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent.
C. Some firms use no debt.
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
E. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Answer:
The not empirically correct statement is:
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
Explanation:
Instead, the capital structures across industries vary significantly. Firms with large asset investments tend to have more leverage than others with less asset investments. And this situation of having or not having large investments in assets cuts across firms in the same industry. This suggests that their capital structures will always vary not because of the industry but the choices made by the firm's management. Capital structures are also influenced by taxes and operating income uncertainties, which also vary within the same industry.
ce Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 240 100 % Variable expenses 36 15 % Contribution margin $ 204 85 % Fixed expenses are $160,000 per month. The company is currently selling 1,100 units per month. Required: Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $75. Since the new component would improve the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 600 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change if fixed
Answer:
Ace Corporation
The overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change if fixed is a reduction:
= $5,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Per Unit Percent of Sales
Selling price $ 240 100 %
Variable expenses 36 15 %
Contribution margin $ 204 85 %
Fixed expenses are $160,000 per month
Current sales units per month = 1,100 units
Expected increase in unit variable cost = $75
New variable cost per unit = $111 ($36 + $75)
Expected increase in sales units per month = 600 units
New sales units per month = 1,700
Old Component New Component Overall Effect
Sales revenue $264,000 $408,000
Variable costs 39,600 188,700
Contribution margin $224,400 $219,300
Fixed expenses 160,000 160,000
Net operating income $64,400 $59,300 -$5,100
Vaughn Corporation had 303,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Vaughn issued 31,200 shares.
Required:
a. Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 31,200 shares were issued for cash.
b. Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued in a stock dividend.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each cases is as follows:
a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 20,800
= 323,800 shares
b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 29,700
= 332,700 shares

Suppose that the price of a cupcake is $4. At this price, 50 cupcakes will be demanded. If the price rises to $5 per cupcake, consumer surplus will
Answer: fall by less than $50.
Explanation:
The options are:
• fall by more than $50.
• fall by less than $50.
• rise by less than $50.
• rise by more than $50.
Expert Answer
Consumer surplus, is referred to as the economic measure of the excess benefit that a customer gets. The consumer surplus is the difference between the amount that the customer is willing to pay and the amount that he or she eventually pays.
Based on the question, the total Price paid is: 50 × $4 = $200
Total Revised Price = 50 × $5 = $250
Therefore, there will be a fall by $50 that's ($250 - $200).
you need a 20-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $210,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 7.1 percent APR for this 240 month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of $1,000, so you offer to pay off any remaining balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. HOw large will this balloon payment have ot be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1000
Answer: $337,869.73
Explanation:
Find out the future value of $1,000 given an interest rate of 7.1%. If this amount is less than the future value of $210,000, the difference is added to the final payment to come up with the balloon payment.
The APR needs to be made periodic:
= 7.1% / 12
The $1,000 payment is an annuity so this can be calculated as:
= Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods - 1) / rate
= 1,000 * ( ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰ - 1) / 7.1/12%
= $527,297.83
Future value of $210,000
= 210,000 * ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰
= $865,167.56
Balloon payment will be:
= 865,167.56 - 527,297.83
= $337,869.73
Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. 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.

You own a golf course in Florida and you need to determine how many golf carts you need to buy to maximize profits. Please answer the following questions given the information below.
A brand new golf cart costs 2000 rounds of golf and the rate of depreciation is 5%.
The real interest rate is 8%
The expected marginal product of capital is given by MPKf = 1000 – 10K.
a) What is the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in?
b) How many golf carts should you buy to maximize profits (i.e., what is K*)?
c) Draw a graph (the uc / MPK graph) depicting the state of affairs and label this initial profit maximizing point as point A.
Now suppose the (local) government with all their financial shortfalls embarks on a campaign to raise revenue to fund the fire department by imposing a so-called "luxury tax" (we know it as τ) equal to 15% of gross revenue. What happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts? Please show all work and round to two decimal places.
Answer:
a) 260 rounds of golf
b) 74
c) attached below
d) 70 golf carts
Explanation:
a) Calculate the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in
user cost of capital = total depreciation + total interest
= ( rate of depreciation * Golf cart cost ) + ( real interest rate * Golf cart cost )
= ( d + r ) Golf cart cost
= ( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 260 rounds of golf
b) determine the number of carts that should be bought to maximize profits
Profits are maximized when User Cost of capital = MPKF
(d +r) Golf cart cost = MP Kf = 1000 – 10K
( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 1000 – 10K
260 = 1000 – 10K ∴ K = ( 1000 - 260 ) / 10 = 74
c) attached below is the required graph
d) Determine what happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts
User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = MPK^f
∴ User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = 1000 – 10K
260 ( 1 - 0.15 ) = 1000 – 10K
305.88 = 1000 – 10K
K=69.41
that is approximately 70 golf carts is been bought to maximize profit

Renfro Corporation’s bonds will mature in 10 years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and an 8% coupon rate, paid semiannually. The price of the bonds is $1,100. What is the bond’s yield to maturity, current yield and capital gains yield?
Answer:
Renfro Corporation
The bond's yield to maturity is:
= 0.067
The bond's current yield is:
= 0.073
The bond's capital gains yield is:
= -0.006
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Maturity period of bonds = 10 years
Face value of the bonds = $1,000
Coupon rate = 8% paid semiannually
Price of the bonds = $1,100
Yield to maturity (YTM) = (C + {(FV - PV)/t})/{(FV + PV)/2}
where C = Coupon interest = $80 ($1,000 * 8%)
FV = Face value of the bonds
PV = Present value or price of the bonds
t = number of years
YTM = ($80 + {($1,000 - $1,100)/10})/{($1,000 + $1,100)/2}
= ($80 + {(-$100)/10})/{($2,100)/2}
= ($80 + $-10/$1,050
= $70/$1,050 = 0.06667
= 0.067
Current Yield = Annual interest/Price
= $80/$1,100
= 0.073
Capital gains yield = YTM - Current Yield
= 0.067 - 0.073
= -0.006
You invest $2,100 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 20% and a Treasury bill with a rate of return of 7%. __________ of your complete portfolio should be invested in the risky portfolio if you want your complete portfolio to have a standard deviation of 13%.
Answer: 65%
Explanation:
The formula that's used for the calculation of the portfolio's standard deviation will be:
(Standard deviation of portfolio)² = (Weight of asset)² × (Standard deviation of asset)²
(Weight of asset)² = (0.13)²/(0.2)² = 0.0169 / 0.04
= 0.4225
Weight of asset = ✓0.4225
Weight of asset = 0.65
Weight of asset = 65%
Therefore, 65% of the portfolio should be invested.
Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the future value of an ordinary annuity?
1) PMT x {1 – [1/(1 + r)nn]}/r
2) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}
3) FV/(1 + r)nn
4) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r} x (1 + r)
Answer:
b. PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}
Explanation:
The formula that should be calculated for the future value of an ordinary annuity is shown below:
= PMT × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r}
Here
PMT denotes the coupon payment
r denotes the rate of interest
n denotes the time period
So as per the given situation, the option b is correct

a. What was Caterpillar's book debt-to-value ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What was its market debt-to-value ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places.)
c. Which measure should you use to calculate the company's cost of capital?
a. Book debt-to-value ratio
b. Markeet debt-to-value ratio
c. Measure
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
(a)-Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio
Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio is
= Debt ÷ [Debt + Book Value of Equity]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $23.00 per share)]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $13.69 Billion]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ $38.49 Billion
= 0.64
(b)- Caterpillar’s market debt-to-value ratio
Caterpillar’s book Market debt-to-value ratio is
= Debt ÷ [Debt + Market Value of Equity]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $154.80 per share)]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $92.11 Billion]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ $116.91 Billion
= 0.21
(c)-Best measure to determine the company’s cost of capital is the market value

Sheridan Corporation had 2020 net income of $798,000. During 2020, Sheridan paid a dividend of $2 per share on 33,200 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Sheridan had outstanding 236,000 shares of common stock.
Required:
Compute Sheridan's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer:
$3.10 per share
Explanation:
Total preferred dividend = 33,200 shares * $2
Total preferred dividend = $66,400
Earning per share = (Net income - Preferred dividend) / Number of common stock outstanding
Earning per share = ($798,000 - $66,400) / 236,000 shares
Earning per share = $731,600 / 236,000 shares
Earning per share = $3.10 per share
