Answer: Managed Float
Explanation:
Also called "Dirty Float", the Managed float is an exchange rate system that allows for the currency of a country to be set by the forces of demand and supply in the market.
However, unlike in a clean float, the Central bank will occasionally intervene in the market to influence the how fast the currency is changing value or to control the direction it is going.
This is usually done to protect the domestic economy from sudden shocks in the global economy.
A local restaurant increases the prices on its burgers as soon as it begins a promotional campaign. Which of the following is most likely to be true?
a) The promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are.
b) The promotional campaign focused on the value per dollar.
c) The promotional campaign made demand more elastic.
d) All of the above.
Answer: The promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are
Explanation:
The most likely reason why a local restaurant will increase the prices on its burgers as soon as it begins a promotional campaign is that the promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are.
Through the promotional campaign, the message has been passed to the customers and anyone interested that the burgers are better and customers will enjoy value for their money.
A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $38,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $19.
a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
QBEP,A units
QBEP,B units
b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Machine A:
Fixed costs= $38,000
Unitary cost= $7
Machine B:
Fixed costs= $31,000
Unitary cost= $11
Revenue per unit= $19
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Machine A:
Break-even point in units= 38,000 / (19 - 7)
Break-even point in units= 3,167
Machine B:
Break-even point in units= 31,000 / (19 - 11)
Break-even point in units= 3,875
Now, we need to determine the indifference point:
Machine A= 38,000 + 7x
Machine B= 31,000 + 11x
x= number of units
We will equal both formulas and isolate x:
38,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x
7,000 = 4x
1,750=x
Indifference point= 1,750 units
Finally, the total cost for 10,000 units:
Machine A= 38,000 + 7*10,000= $108,000
Machine B= 31,000 + 11*10,000= $141,000

Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.
Answer:
Price of bond = $770.60
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Heather Smith can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40
Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 ×10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06) = 458.796
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20) = 311.80
Step 3 :Price of bond
= 458.796 + 311.80 = 770.60
Price of bond = $770.60

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $11.8 million to build, and the site requires $700,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (Enter your answer as a positive value in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$17.1 million
Explanation:
The proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project can be calculated as follows
DATA
Fair value of land = 4.6 million
Cost to build a plant = 11.8 million
Grading cost = 0.7 million
Solution
Initial investment = Fair value of land + Cost to build a plant + Grading cost
Initial investment = $4.6 million + $11.8 million + $0.7 million
Initial investment = $17.1 million
2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders
Answer: $1,700
Explanation:
The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.
Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.
Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.
Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)
= 750 + 950
= $1,700
A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?
Answer:
24.82%
Explanation:
Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations
Let x = the stock return for year 5
12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5
Multiply both sides by 5
63.55% = (5.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x)
63.55% = 38.73% + x
x = 63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
Break-even EBIT (with and without taxes). Alpha Company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a levered firm with $ million of debt financing at % interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $ million and shares outstanding. The levered firm will have shares outstanding. a. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes. b. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is %. c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha Company? a. What is the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes?
Complete Question:
Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.
a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.
b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%
c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?
Answer:
Alpha Company
a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:
= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares
= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000
= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000
dividing by 200,000:
EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000
EBIT = $320,000
b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000
= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000
EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000
= $224,000
c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same. When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Alternative 1: All Equity:
No. of shares = 400,000
Value of shares = $4,000,000
Debt = $0
Interest on Debt = $0
Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:
No. of shares = 200,000
Value of shares = $2,000,000
Debt = $2,000,000
Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000
b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2. This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.

Jackson Industries uses a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. Jackson has established the following standards for one unit of product: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80 Direct labor 2.40 hours $5.00 per hour $12.00 During May, Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200. The total factory wages for May were $258,800, 90 percent of which were for direct labor. Jackson manufactured 21,000 units of product during May using 122,800 pounds of direct material and 50,900 direct labor-hours. The price variance for the direct material acquired by Jackson Industries during May is:
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80
Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5
Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Indigo Corporation had the following tax information.
Year Taxable Income Tax Rate Taxes Paid
2015 $294,000 35% $102,900
2016 332,000 30% 99,600
2017 399,000 30% 119,700
In 2018, Indigo suffered a net operating loss of $487,000, which it elected to carry back. The 2018 enacted tax rate is 26%.
The objective is to prepare the Indigo's entry to record the effect of the loss carryback.
The Income Tax Refund Receivable = Taxable income(2018) × Tax rate(2018) + ( net operating loss - Taxable income(2018) ) × Tax rate(2018)
(332000 × 30%)+(476000-332000) × 30%
The Income Tax Refund Receivable = (332000 × 0.30)+(476000-332000) × 0.30
The Income Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 144000× 0.30
The Income Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 43200
The Income Tax Refund Receivable = 142800
Therefore, Indigo Corporation ENtry can be prepared as follows:

Net sales$688,500 $450,000 Cost of goods sold 337,364 133,200 Determine the 2016 and 2017 trend percents for net sales using 2016 as the base year.
Answer:
Trend- % change in sales = 34.64%
Explanation:
Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.
To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below
% Change in variable =
(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100
DATA
Current year figure for sales (2017) - 450,000
Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500
% change in sales = (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%
% change in sales = 34.64%
This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016
Bronco Corporation discovered these errors in August of Year 3:
Year Depreciation Overstated Prepaid Expense Omitted
1 $2500 $3000
2 4000 2000
Assume all current items are two months in duration. Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Assume all errors are discovered in August of Year #3. The Year #2 books are closed. The net effect on Year #3 Beginning Retained Earnings caused by the August Year #3 correcting journal entries was:
a. $5,500
b. $6,500
c. $6,000
d. $8,500
e. $4,500
Answer:
e. $4,500
Explanation:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $3,000
2 $4,000 $2,000
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 = $23,000
This means that year 2's net income was understated by $5,000.
But year 1's net income was overstated by = $2,500 - $3,000 = -$500.
The adjustment on the retained earnings account should be $5,000 - $500 = $4,500
Booher Book Stores has a beta of 1.0. The yield on a 3-month T-bill is 3% and the yield on a 10-year T-bond is 6%. The market risk premium is 4.5%, and the return on an average stock in the market last year was 10.5%. What is the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.5%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (long-term i.e 10 year treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market., Ke- Return on equity (cost of equity)
This model can be used to work out the cost of equity as follows:
Ke= Rf + β (Rm-Rf)
Rf- 6%, β= 1.0, Rm- 10.5, E(r)- ?
Ke = 6% + 1.0× (10.5 -6)% = 10.5%
Ke = 10.5%
Cost of equity = 10.5%

Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $490,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead:
Indirect material usage 10,000
Indirect labor 10,000
Factory water and electricity 20,000
Depreciation-factory 50,000
Total overhead= 90,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
Direct materials= 100,000 + 20,000 - 30,000= 90,000
cost of goods manufactured= 60,000 + 90,000 + 300,000 + 90,000 - 50,000
cost of goods manufactured= $490,000
As the athletic shoe buyer for Sports Authority, how would you go about forecasting sales for a new Nike running shoe?

It is sold for $22,000 cash. b. It is sold for $88,000 cash. c. It is destroyed in a fire and the insurance company pays $32,500 cash to settle the loss claim.
Answer:
All the requirements are solved below
Explanation:
Purchase = $178,000
Ready to use cost = $2,480
Installation cost = $1,160
Salvage value = $14,000
Depreciation method = Straight line
Useful life = 6 years
Solution
Requirement A If sold for $22,000
Entry DEBIT CREDIT
Cash $22,000
Accumulated depreciation $140,000
Profit/loss on disposal $20,000
Machinery $182,000
Requirement B If sold for $88,000
Entry DEBIT CREDIT
Cash $82,000
Accumulated depreciation $140,000
Profit/loss on disposal $40,000
Machinery $182,000
Requirement C If destroyed in fire and insurance company paid $32,500
Entry DEBIT CREDIT
Cash $30,000

Accumulated depreciation = 140,000
Green Inc. made no adjusting entry for accrued and unpaid employee wages of $38,000 on December 31. This error would Multiple Choice Understate assets by $38,000. Overstate net income by $38,000. Understate net income by $38,000. Have no effect on net income.
Answer:
The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.
Explanation:
Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.
Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.

Answer:
a) $94.88
b) in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks should increase to $109.11
Explanation:
year dividend EPS
0 0 $10
1 0 $12
2 0 $14.40
3 0 $17.28
4 0 $20.736
5 0 $24.8832
6 $11.45 $28.61568
growth rate up to year 5 = 20%
ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%
dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%
cost of equity = 15%
horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83
current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88
intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11
The estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share is $94.88. Also, in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks will increase to $109.11.
Based on the information given, the dividend and the earnings per share are given below:
year dividend EPS
0 0 $10
1 0 $12
2 0 $14.40
3 0 $17.28
4 0 $20.736
5 0 $24.88
6 $11.45 $28.616
Growth rate up to year 5 = 20%ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%Cost of equity = 15%Therefore, the dividend growth rate starting year 6 will be:
= 15% x (1 - 40%)
= 15% × 60%
= 9%
Therefore, the horizon value at year 5 will be:
= $11.45 / (15% - 9%)
= $11.45 / 6%
= $190.83
Then, the current intrinsic value per stock will be:
= $190.83 / 1.15⁵
= $94.88
The intrinsic price in 1 year will be:
= $190.83 / 1.15⁴
= $109.11

What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?
Answer:
The present value = $3,602.30
Explanation:
To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:
[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]
where:
FV = Future value = $4,500
PV = Present value = ??
r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045
n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2
t = time = 5
[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]
Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30

Beta is Question 10 options: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market b) Relates the risk-return trade-offs of individual assets to the market returns c) The computed cost of capital determined by multiplying the cost of each item in the optimal capital structure by its weighted presentation in the overall capital structure and summing up the results d) The cost of the last dollar of funds raised
Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market
Explanation:
Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.
It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.
Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.
Yan Yan Corp. has a $3,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.2 percent paid semiannually and 25 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.8 percent. What is the price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$3,173.63
Explanation:
For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Future value = $3,000
Rate of interest = 4.8% ÷ 2 = 2.4%
NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years
PMT = $3,000 × 5.2% ÷ 2 = $78
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $3,713.63
The fixed cost of a production system is $20,000, and the variable cost per unit product is $17. The product has a revenue of $28 per unit. Calculate the breakeven quantity and determine the profit or loss amount when 1,500 units are produced. g
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $20,000
Unitary variable cost= $17
Selling price= $28 per unit.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 20,000 / (28 - 17)
Break-even point in units= 1,818 units
Now, the profit for 1,500 units:
Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500
MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?
Answer: D) Projects A and C
Explanation:
The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
Cost of Equity
= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)
= 17.6%
After tax cost of debt
= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)
= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)
= 7%
WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)
= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)
= 4.2% + 7.04%
= 11.24%
Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.
