Answer:
A.
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
B. Yes
Explanation:
Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015
First step is to find the EBIT
EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $
Gross profit 44,500 58,400
Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)
EBIT 7,600 19,600
Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula
Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
Time interest earned 2016 2015
EBIT $7,600 $19,600
÷Interest expense $590 $520
=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7
Therefore the Time interest earned will be :
2015 37.7

Suppose when the price of coffee beans goes from $1 to $1.20 per pound, production increases from 90 million pounds of coffee beans to 110 million pounds per year. Using the mid-point method, the percentage change in quantity supplied is: Multiple Choice 20 percent 18 percent 0.6 6.0
Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Using the midpoint formula, the denominator is an average of the beginning and ending figures;
= [tex]\frac{Q2 - Q1}{Q2 + Q1 /2 } * 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{110 - 90}{(110 + 90)/2} * 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20}{100} * 100[/tex]
= 20%
ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.
Requried:
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
Answer:
ABC Co. and XYZ Co.
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50
Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50
Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)
Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $53,000/$475,000 x 100
= 11.16%
Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $29,250/$237,500 x 100
= 12.32%
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%
WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt
= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%
= 0.0558 + 0.05
= 0.1058
= 10.58%
Explanation:
ABC:
Equity = $475,000
Expected EBIT = $53,000
Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%
XYZ:
Equity = $237,500
Debt = $237,500
Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750
EBIT = $53,000
Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)
Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%
RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.
ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.
ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.
Break-Even Sales and Sales to Realize Income from OperationsFor the current year ended October 31, Friedman Company expects fixed costs of $14,300,000, a unit variable cost of $250, and a unit selling price of $380.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000.units
Answer:
a. 110,000 units
b. 128,500 units
Explanation:
a. Compute the anticipated break even sales in unit
Break even point in unit = Total fixed cost / Contribution margin
Total fixed cost = $14,300,000
Contribution margin per unit = Unit selling price - Unit variable cost
= $380 - $250
= $130
Break even point in units = $14,300,000 / $130
= 110,000 units
b. Compute sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000
Break even point + expected profits = (total fixed costs + expected profits) / Contribution margin
° total fixed cost + expected profits
= $14,300,000 + $2,405,000
= $16,705,000
°contribution margin per unit
= $380 - $250
= $130
Break even point + expected profits in unit
= $16,705,000 / $130
= 128,500 units

A company with 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 48,828 shares at $13 per share. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $22 a share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend?
A. $43,563
B. $21,484
C. $7,812
D. $13,672
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
Additional business in the form of a special order of goods or services should be accepted when the incremental revenue equals the incremental costs.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The aim of the business is to ideally make a profit. As a result, Additional business should only be accepted if the incremental cost of doing so is less than the incremental revenue accrued from doing so.
If incremental revenue equals incremental cost, there is no point in engaging in the additional business as it brings no extra value to the business.
The FI Corporation’s dividends per share are expected to grow indefinitely by 5% per year. a. If this year’s year-end dividend is $8 and the market capitalization rate is 10% per year, what must the current stock price be according to the DDM? b. If the expected earnings per share are $12, what is the implied value of the ROE on future investment opportunities? c. How much is the market paying per share for growth opportunities (i.e., for an ROE on future investments that exceeds the market capitalization rate)?
Answer:
a)
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
P₀ = current stock price = ?Div₁ = next dividend = $8Re = equity cost = 10%g = constant growth rate = 5%P₀ = $8 / (10% - 5%) = $8 / 5% = $160
b)
EPS = $12
Return on equity (ROE) = g / b
b = retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - ($8/$12) = 0.333
g = 5%
ROE = 5% / 0.333 = 15%
c)
Present value of growth opportunity (PVGO) = P₀ - EPS/Re
P₀ = $160EPS = $12Re = 10%PVGO = $160 - $12/10% = $160 - $120 = $40 per share
You short-sell 200 shares of Rock Creek Fly Fishing Co., now selling for $50 per share. You are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale. If your broker requires a 30% maintenance margin, at what price will you get a margin call? (Ignore interests and dividends)
a. $62.50
b. 57.69
c. 56.25
d. 37.50
Answer:
b. 57.69
Explanation:
Calculation for what price that you will get a margin call
First step
200 shares *$25 per share=$10,000
Second step
Based on the information given we are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale.
Now let find the 50% margin
50% margin =50%*$10,000
50% margin=$5,000
Hence,
$10,000+$5,000=$15,000
Third step
Based on the information given we were told that the broker requires a 30% maintenance margin.
.30=($10,000-200p)/200p
60p=$15,000-200p
260p= $15,000
Hence
$15,000/260
Price= $57.69
Therefore the price that you will get a margin call will be $57.69

The Sherman Antitrust Act: Multiple Choice was passed in 1800. All of these statements are true. was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century. no longer applies to business practices today.
Answer: Was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century.
Explanation:
The Sherman Act of 1890 was a law passed by Congress to target monopolies in the United States. At the time, Trusts had been in existence. Trusts were in effect monopolies because they worked by getting the largest stockholders to transfer their stock to a single trust and get profits from all companies in the trust. This Trust would then in effect control the industry as a monopoly.
To combat this, the Sherman Act enabled the Federal Government to go against Trusts and dissolve them. This was good news to President Theodore Roosevelt who ruled from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt hated the anti-competitive tactics of the rich that ripped off the poor. He believed that this would bring about a revolution and he also hated them as the big corporations thought themselves above the law in his assessment.
Using the Sherman Act, he went against them with so much vigor that he earned the nickname, The Trust Buster. He started with a Trust controlled by J.P. Morgan called Northern Securities Company which was dissolved by the Supreme Court after the Attorney General under Roosevelt brought a suit against them.

Answer the following questions. 1. A company has an inventory of 1,200 assorted parts for a line of missiles that has been discontinued. The inventory cost is $71,000. The parts can be either (a) remachined at total additional costs of $24,000 and then sold for $32,000 or (b) sold as scrap for $5,000. Which action is more profitable? Show your calculations. 2. A truck, costing $104,000 and uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either (a) disposed of for $15,500 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or (b) rebuilt for $85,500, and thus be brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less costly? Show your calculations.
Answer:
1) the $71,000 is considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered.
option A yields $32,000 - $24,000 = $8,000 (this is more profitable)
option B yields $5,000
2) the $104,000 is also considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered
option A results in $105,500 - $15,500 = $90,000 in costs
option B costs $85,500 (this option is less costly)

If an investor's aversion to risk increased, would the risk premium on a high beta stock increase by more or less than that of a low-beta stock? Explain.
Answer:
risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock
A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.
Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.
risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.
According to CAPM :
risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)
Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium
If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.

D1/r - g
Where:
D1 - is the next year dividend or expected dividend to be paid next.
r is the rate of return
g is the growth rate
$0.75/0.105 - 0.064
$0.75/0.041
$18.29.
Therefore, the stock's current price is $18.29
