Answer 1

Answer:

The AW value of the defender is:________ $15,729.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Defender                                                Challenger

Current MV                    $39,000           Purchase price            $50,000

Required upgrade           $2,300           Installation cost             $5,000

Annual expenses             $1,600           Annual expenses           $1,000

Remaining useful life      6 years           Useful life                     10 years

MV at end of useful life  -$1,500           MV at end of useful life $7,000

Investment = $39,000 + $2,300           Investment = $50,000 + $5,000

= $41,300                                                = $55,000

Present Value = ($41,300 +                   Present Value = ($55,000 +

$1,600 x 2.951)  = $46,021.60               $1,000 x 3.571) = $58,571

$46,022 + $393 ($1,500 x .262)            $58,571 - $749 ($7,000 x .107)

Equivalent Annual Cost                         Equivalent Annual Cost

= $46,415/ 2.951                                     = $57,822/3.571

= $15,729                                                = $16,192

The robots' Equivalent Annual Costs (or Average Weighted Value) are the total costs of owning, operating, and maintaining the robots for 6 years and 10 years respectively.  For the old robot, additional cost of $1,500 will be incurred to retire the asset, while the new robot will have a salvage value of $7,000.  These are factored into the equivalent annual costs, after discounting them to their present values.

Answer 2

Whenever an existing piece of equipment is considered for replacing by a new piece of equipment, the old piece is referred to as the defender, and the new piece of equipment is referred to as the challenger.  

The AW value of the defender is------------$15,729.

a) Data and Calculations:

Defender                                                Challenger

Current MV  -------$39,000                     Purchase price-------$50,000

Required upgrade----------$2,300           Installation cost------$5,000

Annual expenses-----------$1,600           Annual expenses -------$1,000

Remaining useful life--------6 years           Useful life ------10 years

MV at end of useful life------$1,500           MV at end of useful life--$7,000

Investment--------- $39,000 + $2,300           Investment = $50,000 + $5,000

= $41,300                                                           = $55,000

Present Value = ($41,300 +                      Present Value = ($55,000 +

[tex]\$1,600 \times 2.951[/tex])  = $46,021.60                  [tex]\$1,000 \times3.571[/tex]) = $58,571

$46,022 + $393 [tex](\$1,500 \times .262)[/tex]                $58,571 - $749 ([tex]\$7,000 \times .107[/tex])

Equivalent Annual Cost                             Equivalent Annual Cost

= [tex]\frac{\$46,415}{ 2.951}[/tex]                                                            = [tex]\frac{\$57,822}{3.571}[/tex]

= $15,729                                                        = $16,192

The overall expenses of owning, operating, and maintaining the robots for 6 - 10 years, correspondingly, are the Equivalent Annual Costs (or Average Weighted Value).

The old robot will incur an additional cost of $1,500 to retire it, but the new robot will have a salvage value of $7,000. After discounting to the current value, these are included in the comparable yearly expenses.

Some towns limit the number of hours that liquor stores can sell alcohol on Sundays. This restriction could actually help liquor stores by

Answers

Answer: decreasing sales and increasing prices.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that some towns limit the number of hours that liquor stores can sell alcohol on Sundays. This restriction could actually help liquor stores reduce their sales and thereby lead to the increment of prices.

Since there has been a reduction I the number of hours, it means lesser alcohol will be sold and this can invariably lead to price increase.

A vendor at a carnival sells cotton candy and caramel apples for $2.00 each. The vendor is charged $60 to set up his booth. Furthermore, the vendor’s average cost for each product he produces is approximately $0.80.

a. Write a linear cost function representing the cost C(x) (in $) to the vendor to produce x products.b. Write a linear revenue function representing the revenue R(x) (in $) for selling x products.c. Determine the number of products to be produced and sold for the vendor to break even.d. If 60 products are sold, will the vendor make money or lose money?

Answers

Answer with its Explanation:

Requirement A. The cost function is equal to variable cost for "x" units and fixed cost which remains fixed. Hence:

Cost Function = C(x) = $60  +  $0.8x

Requirement B. The revenue for any units "x" sold can be calculated by simply multiplying "x" with sales price per unit. Which means that:

Revenue Function = R(x) = $2 * x  = $2x

Requirement C. Now we have to find the breakeven quantity and this could be calculated using the following formula:

Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / (Selling Price per Unit  - Variable Cost Per Unit)

By putting values we have:

Breakeven Point = $60 / ($2 - $0.8)    = 50 units

Requirement D. As the number of units are above breakeven point (No profit and loss position), hence making sales above 50 units will generate profit for the company.

The profit for the company would be:

Total Profit = Contribution per unit * Units above Breakeven point

Total Profit = ($2 - $0.8)  *  10 Units = $12

Explain how growth in the demand for​ Australia's natural resources would affect the demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market. Explain how the supply of Australian dollars would change.

Answers

Answer:

The question here is that of the balance of trade and the principles of demand and supply.  

According to the Economics principles of demand and supply, when demand is high, prices follow in the same direction and the currency appreciates in value.

So, on one hand, when the demand for Australia's natural resources increases, because the legal tender recognised within Australia's borders is its own currency, trading partners are forced to convert from their currency into the Australian dollars thus creating an increased demand for the currency.

On the other hand, if the value of a countrys imports is more than the value of its export transactions, the opposite would happen, that is, its currency depreciates or loses value.

Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eleven years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $982. At this price, the bonds yield 7.6 percent.

Required:
What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 7.35 percent

Explanation:

N(Number of periods) = 11years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 7.6 percent

PV(present value or market price) = $982

PMT( coupon payment) = ?

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 11; I/Y = 7.6; PV = -$982; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= $73.52

Therefore, coupon rate is ($73.52/$1,000) x 100 percent

On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment

Answers

Answer:

Interest expense = $20,000

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.  

The annual installment is computed as follows:  

Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor  

Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)

Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year

DATA

Interest rate = 8%

Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000

Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000

Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this  is not required but to explain the concept)

Interest expense = $20,000

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.3 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods.What is the price of the bond?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond $4,092.49

Explanation:

Computation the price of the bond

Using this formula

Price of bond=Par value*1/(1+YTM/2)^(2*time period)

Where,

Par value=$10,000

1/(1+YTM/2)=1/(1+0.043/2)

(2*time period)=(2*21 years)

Let plug in the formula

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1+0.043/2)^(2*21)

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1.0215)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*(0.97895252)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*0.4092497467

Price of bond=$4,092.49

Therefore the price of the bond will be $4,092.49

Answers

Answer:

long 1 ABC Jan 75 Call

Explanation:

This type of customer (or investor) is bearish about the market, i.e. he/she believes that the stock prices will drop. The investor will try to create a net credit position (the credit spread = $75 - $65). The maximum possible profit is created when the stock price falls below $65, and the maximum possible loss would occur if the price went above $75. This investor is a net seller, since it is a short call spread.

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.

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

Answers

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%

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?

Answers

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.

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.

Answers

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

Zero % tax rate:

municipal bond pays 4%

taxable bonds after tax yield=5%*(1-0)=5%

10% tax rate

municipal bond pays 4%

taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-10%)=4.5%

20% tax rate

municipal bond pays 4.0%

taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-20%)=4.0%

30% tax rate

municipal bond pays 4.0%

taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-30%)=3.50%

n January 1, 1987, three 100 par value bonds with 6% annual coupons will mature at the end of 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively. The redemption value of each bond is 100. You are given that the prices for these bonds on January 1, 1987 are: Maturity Date Price December 31, 1987 101.92 December 31, 1988 102.84 December 31, 1989 105.51 These prices are based on an interest rate of i in 1987, j in 1988, and k in 1989. Determine j.

Answers

Answer:

j = 4.52%

Explanation:

face value = $100, with 6% annual coupons

bond₁ matures in 1 year (December 31, 1987), market price $101.92

bond₂ matures in 2 years (December 31, 1988), market price $102.84

bond₃ matures in 3 years (December 31, 1989), market price $105.51

we must determine the market interest rate (j) for bond₂, and to do this we will use the approximate yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market price)/n]} / [(face value + market price)/2]

YTM = {6 + [(100 - 102.84)/2]} / [(100 + 102.84)/2] = 4.58 / 101.42 = 0.045158 = 4.52%

Since the bonds are sold at a premium, it means that the coupon rate is higher than the market rate.

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:

Answers

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

Apply the integration-responsiveness framework to describe which global strategy Hollywood studios followed originally, and how their strategic positioning has changed over time. Explain how and why.

Answers

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

Global integration refers to the coordination of the organization’s value chain operations within countries, achieving efficiency, synergy and cross-fertilization between countries so that equality between countries is maximized. Between global integration and local accountability, the integration-accountability framework is called to help managers develop a deeper understanding of the business. We can say at the outset or at the outset that an export strategy that applies to Hollywood is used when a company focuses primarily on its domestic operations. It is not intended to expand globally, but to export certain products to take advantage of international opportunities. It does not seek to adapt its products to international markets. It is not interested in responding to specific situations in other countries or formulating a unified world strategy. Hollywood not only produced films and shows that catered to the needs of its native business aimed at American Western culture, but as the industry began to expand it began to adopt a multi-national strategy. Multi dimensional strategy follows products or processes for specific situations in each country. In the initial example, Lincoln should use a multi-year strategy to adapt its manufacturing methods to the conditions of each country where electric factories are built. Retailers often use multicultural strategies because they must cater to local customer tastes. Hollywood has started producing Indian films like Kung Fu Panda, Karate Kids, Oscar Winning Slumdog Millionaire.

The global strategy that Hollywood studios followed at first was the international strategy.

It should be noted that the global strategy that Hollywood studios followed originally was the international strategy where identical movies were showed in foreign countries.

This has changed now as there are different movies that are filmed and in different versions. Also, it isn't in the control of the government to edit out any part.

Answers

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

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:

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:

Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases

Answers

Answer:

The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011

Explanation:

Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards

Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900

Purchases = 500,011

When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount

Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189

Net purchase = 491,111

Working

Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate

Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%

Discount = 15,189

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold

Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000

Ending inventory = $243,011

Thus, the ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011.

e. $17,500 preferred; $17,500 соmmоn.

Answers

Answer:

c. $12,000 preferred: $23,000 common

Explanation:

Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed

First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding

Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative

Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000

Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding

Using this formula

Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding

Let plug in the formula

Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000

Common stock outstanding=$23,000

Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000
