Explanation:
You purchased a stock at a price of $46.55. The stock paid a dividend of $1.79 per share and the stock price at the end of the year is $52.45. What was the dividend yield
Answer:
3.84%
Explanation:
Calculation for dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend Yield(%) = D / P0
Where,
D=$1.79
P0=$46.55
Let plug in the formula
Dividend Yield(%) =$1.79/$46.55
Dividend Yield(%) =0.0384*100
Dividend Yield(%) =3.84%
Therefore the dividend yield will be 3.84%
Union Local School District has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 3.8 percent and the bonds have a par value of $10,000. What is the dollar price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$10,974.45
Explanation:
coupon rate 4.5%, semiannual = 2.25%
20 years until maturity = 40 periods
market rate 3.8%, semiannual = 1.9%
par value $10,000
market price of the bonds = PV of par value + PV of coupon payments
PV of par value = $10,000 / (1 + 1.9%)⁴⁰ = $4,710.13
PV of coupon payments = $225 x 27.84144 (PV annuity factor, 1.9%, 40 periods) = $6,264.32
market value = $4,710.13 + $6,264.32 = $10,974.45
Answer:
The dollar price of the bond is $10,974.45.
Explanation:
The dollar price of the bond, PV, can be determined as follows :
N = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = ($10,000 × 4.5%) ÷ 2 = $225
P/YR = 2
YTM = 3.80 %
FV = $10,000
PV = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the dollar price of the bond, PV is $10,974.45.
On January 1, Parson Freight Company issues 9.0%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $3,400,000. The bonds pay interest semiannually. The market rate of interest is 10.0% and the bond selling price was $3,168,967. The bond issuance should be recorded as:
Answer:
January 1
Cash $3168967 Dr
Discount on Bonds Payable $231033
Bonds Payable $3400000 Cr
Explanation:
The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.
The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.
Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033
Your estimate of the market risk premium is %. The risk-free rate of return is %, and General Motors has a beta of . According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?
Answer:
The correct option is option A) 16.4%.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted from it. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9%. The risk-free rate of return is 3.8% and General Motors has a beta of 1.4. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?
Options:
A) 16.4%
B) 17.2%
C) 14.8%
D) 15.6%
The question is now answered as followed:
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) can be described as a model that is employed to compute a theoretical required rate of an asset in order decide whether or not to add assets a portfolio of investment that is well-diversified.
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected return can be calculated using the following formula:
Expected return = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market ris premium) .......... (1)
Where;
Risk-free rate of return = 3.8%
Market risk premium = 9%
Beta = 1.4
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
Expected return = 3.8% + (1.4 * 9%) = 16.40%
Therefore, the correct option is option A) 16.4%.
g An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Answer:
C. decreases; falls
Explanation:
As we know that
The rise in taxes results in low disposable income for individuals that lowered the spending of the consumer also the consumer spending is an element of the aggregate demand so ultimately it declines that result the curve to shift leftward or downward
Due to this, the real GDP also falls, and the price level too
Hence, the correct option is c.
Sue Helms Appliances wants to establish an assembly line to manufacture its new product, the Micro Popcorn Popper. The goal is to produce five poppers per hour. The tasks, task times, and immediate predecessors for producing one Micro Popcorn Popper are as follows:
Task Performance time(minutes) Predecessor

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________
Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?
c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________
Answer:
Please see explanation below.
Explanation:
a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour
= 60 / 5
= 12minutes
Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time
Sum of task time
= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4
= 48
The theoretical minimum number of work stations is
= 48 / 12
= 4
b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.
°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.
°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.
Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.
°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.
°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.
Task Time Workstation
A. 8 1
B. 10 2
C. 8 3
D. 10 4
E. 8 -
F. 4 -
Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.
C. Efficiency of the assembly line
Efficiency ;
= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time
Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.
= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100
= 80%
The theoretical minimum should be = 4
The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent
The production time = 60
The units that are required per hour = 5
[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]
= 12
The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4

Use information from the Washington Post article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans" to determine whether each statement is true or false.
a. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), worldwide catches peaked in 2001 at 86 million tons.
b. Using catch reconstruction, researchers estimate that the actual peak catch was 50% larger than the reported peak catch.
c, Catch reconstruction shows that, since the peak, catches have been increasing, not decreasing as previously reported.
d. The Sea Around Us Project found several problems with the FAO data, such as the fact that data that were not available were reported as catches of zero fish.
Answer:
"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"
Determining whether each statement is true or false:
a. False
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016. It was written by Chelsea Harvey. It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing. This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.
While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996. The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems". The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.

"A broker-dealer who acted as financial advisor to a municipality in structuring a new issue now wishes to act as underwriter in a negotiated offering. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer:
B. The financial advisor is prohibited from acting as the underwriter

As per the rule of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the financial advisor cannot be the underwriter.
The financial advisor for a municipality is paying the advisory fee for assisting the structure of the municipality in order to the issuance of the new bond so that the less interest cost to be paid.
But in the case of the underwriter, it contains high rate of interest as it is very easiest way for selling
So through this, the conflict arises between these two parties
Therefore option B is correct
Polly Khan is trying to calculate the current market rate given the following information: Investor’s have been requiring a 12% annual return on Builtrite’s stock which has a beta of 2.0 and the current risk-free rate is 4%. What is the current market rate?
Answer:
The current market rate is 8%
Explanation:
The market rate is the return on market or the market portfolio. To calculate the market rate (rM) we will use the CAPM equation which is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock or portfolio. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the market rateWe already know the value of r, rRF and Beta. We will input these values in the above equation to calculate the market rate.
0.12 = 0.04 + 2 * (rM - 0.04)
0.12 - 0.04 = 2 * rM - 0.08
0.08 + 0.08 = 2 * rM
0.16 / 2 = rM
rM = 0.08 or 8%

Masterson, Inc., has 3.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $85.50, and the book value per share is $9.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $73 million, a coupon rate of 5.3 percent, and sells for 95.7 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $45 million, a coupon rate of 5.9 percent, and sells for 104.9 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 11 years. The most recent dividend was $4.04 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 23 percent.
1. What is the company's cost of equity?
2. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
3. What is the company's weight of equity?
4. What is the company's weight of debt?
5. What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %

Answer:
It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.
Explanation:
It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.
So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.
When recording journal entries for production costs using a standard cost accounting system, the debit to Work in Process Inventory account is for the ______ amount.
Answer: Actual amount
Explanation:
Standard Costing deviates from traditional accounting in that it is not based on historical costs of a good. In standard cost accounting, the actual costs are put in place of standard costs and then the variance between the two will be recorded and used for analysis.
The debit to the Work in Process Inventory account under a standard cost accounting system will be the actual amount.
Samm Corp. purchased a plot of land for $100,000. The cost to raze a building on the property amounted to $50,000 and Samm received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials. Samm built a new plant on the site at a total cost of $800,000 including excavation costs of $30,000. What amount should Samm capitalize in its land account?
a. $150,000.
b. $140,000.
c. $130,000.
d. $100,000.
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000
The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000
Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials
$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site
The excavation costs was $30,000
Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows
= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials
= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000
= $150,000-$10,000
= $140,000
Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.

In Year 1 Jorge buys a home for $200,000, making a down payment of $40,000 and taking out a loan from the bank for $160,000 to finance the balance. In Year 5 the remaining loan balance is $130,000 while the home has increased in value to $270,000. Jorge refinances with a loan company that agrees to lend 125% of the value of the home, or $337,500, using $130,000 to repay the bank loan and providing $207,500 in cash. Jorge immediately spends $10,000 of the cash on a lavish vacation to the Bahamas, and $20,000 to pay down credit cards.
How much of the $337,500 home equity loan balance is allowable for calculating the home mortgage interest deduction on Jorge’s Year 5 tax return?
a. $270,000
b. $240,000
c. $230,000
d. $220,000
Answer:
Under current tax law, no option is correct. Before 2018, option C would have been right.
Explanation:
Currently under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025) you can only deduct interests on mortgages used to purchase, build or improve your home. In this case, Jorge will only be able to deduct the interests paid on the $130,000 he owed for the first mortgage.
Interests on home equity loans will again be deductible (up to $100,000) starting Jan. 2026.

A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any
Answer:
The Correct Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.
This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.

C. In the long run, the nominal exchange rate is a monetary phenomenon.
D. In the long run, the nominal exchange rate is determined by the quantities of money in two countries.
Answer:
B. In the long run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.
Explanation:
As we know that in the short run there is a decline in the nominal exchange that results in a decrease of real exchange rate due to which there is a reduction of the import and the export is risen.
But in the case of the long run, if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so the real exchange rate would remain the same
This results that if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so it would not bring the equal change in the real exchange rate
Hence, option B is incorrect
