As an American investor, you are trying to calculate the present value of a £25 million cash flow that will occur one year in the future. You know that the spot exchange rate is S= $1.9397/ £ and one-year forward rate is F= $1.9581/ £. You also know that the appropriate dollar cost of capital for this cash flow is 6.25% and that the appropriate pound cost of capital for this cash flow is 5.25%. a) What is the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a British investor, and what is the dollar equivalent of this amount? b) What is the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a U.S. investor who first converts the £25 million into dollars and then applies the dollar discount rate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Present value in pound=$23,752,969

Dollar equivalent=$46,073,634

2.Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$48,952,500

Present value in pound=$46,072,918

Explanation:

1a.Calculation for present value of the £25 million cash flow

Using this formula

Present value in pound =cash flow*(1/1+Cash flow cost of capital)^ One year in the future

Let plug in the formula

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*(1/1+0.0525)^1

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*(1/1.0525)^1

Present value in pound=$25,000,000*0.950119

Present value in pound=$23,752,969

1b.Calculation for the dollar equivalent of this amount

Using this formula

Dollar equivalent=Present value in pound*Spot exchange rate

Let plug in the formula

Dollar equivalent=$23,752,969*$1.9397

Dollar equivalent=$46,073,634

2a. Calculation for the Dollar equivalent for U.S investors

Using this formula

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=Cash flow*one-year forward rate

Let plug in the formula

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$25,000,000*$1.9581

Dollar equivalent for U.S investors=$48,952,500

2b. Calculation for the present value of the £25 million cash flow from the standpoint of a U.S. investor .

Using this formula

Present value in pound =Cash flow*(1/1+Cash flow cost of capital)^ One year in the future

Let plug in the formula

Present value in pound=$48,952,500*(1/1.0625)^1

Present value in pound=$48,952,500*0.941176

Present value in pound=$46,072,918

Therefore the Present value in pound for question 1 is $23,752,969 while the Dollar equivalent is $46,073,634.

The Dollar equivalent for U.S investors in question 2 is $48,952,500 while the Present value in pound is $46,072,918

Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9​%. The​ risk-free rate of return is 3.7​% and General Motors has a beta of 1.7. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model​ (CAPM), what is its expected​ return?

Answers

Answer:

19%

Explanation:

The market risk premium is 9%

The risk free rate of return is 3.7%

General motors have a beta of 1.7

Therefore, using the capital asset pticing model the expected return can be calculated as follows

= 3.7% + 1.7×9%

= 3.7% + 15.3%

= 19%

Hence the expected return is 19%

Sound Systems (SS) has 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $37 a share. SS recently paid an annual dividend in the amount of $1.20 per share. The dividend growth rate is 4 percent. SS also has 4,500 bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,000 per bond that are selling at 99 percent of par. The bonds have a 6 percent coupon and a 6.7 percent yield to maturity. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 6.31 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the return required by the providers of long term permanent source of capital to the firm.

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kp × (P/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of equity

    = $1.20 / $37.00 + 0.04

    = 0.0724 or 7.24 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = (200,000 × $37) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $7,400,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 62.42 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

    = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

    = 6.70 % × (1 - 0.34)

    = 4.42 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

      = (4,500 × $1,000 × 99%) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $4,455,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 37.28 %

Therefore,

WACC = 7.24 % × 62.42 % +  4.42 % × 37.28 %

           = 6.31 %

Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,820 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 8% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually.

Answers

Answer:

A.9.2%

B.8.16%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill

First step

T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value

Let plug in the formula

T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820

T-bill =$2,180/$97,820

T-bill =0.02228

Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100

Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%

B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .

First step

Semi-annual return=8%/2

Semi-annual return=4%

Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate

Using this formula

Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1

Let plug in the formula

Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1

Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100

Effective annual interest rate=8.16%

Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

An increase in input prices causes:___________
a) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price downward.
b) the market supply to shift outward, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
c) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
d) the supply curve to decrease and the demand curve to decrease.

Answers

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.

A customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $17 as the initial transaction in a new margin account. The customer must deposit:_______.
A. $750.
B. $1,500.
C. $2,000.
D. $3,000.

Answers

Answer: $2,000

What is the ending inventory value at cost

Answers

Answer:Ending Inventory at Cost= $981,248.40

Explanation:

                                     Cost                      Retail

Beginning inventory  $393,500         $594,000

purchases                      $3,408,000      $5,193,600                

freight in                        $159,500,

net markups                                                     $414,000

Total                          $3,961,000                     $6,201,600

Sales                                                 $4,666,000

Ending Inventory at Retail:=(Beginning inventory + purchases +net markups - Sales during the current year

594,000 + $5,193,600   +  $414,000- $4,666,000,  = $1,535,600

Cost to Retail Ratio:( Beginning inventory + purchases+freight in)/ (Beginning inventory + purchases +net markups )

=($393,500 + $3,408,000 +$159,500,) ÷ (594,000 + $5,193,600   +  $414,000) =$3,961,000/$6, 201, 600= 0.638= 0.639

Ending Inventory at Cost:   Ending Inventory at Retail x Cost to Retail Ratio

$1,535,600 x 0.639 = $981,248.40

A stock is selling today for $40 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $2 per share and sells for $44. a. What is the total rate of return on the stock?

Answers

Answer:

The total rate of return on the stock is 14%.

Explanation:

The sources of income from a stock are dividends and increase in its value. Therefore, the total rate of return on stock is calculated by dividing the addition of appreciation in the of the stock and dividends paid by the original stock price.

Therefore, the total rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the following formula:

Total rate of return = [(P1 - Po) + D] / Po .......................... (1)

Where;

P1 = Ending stock price = $44

Po = Initial stock price = $40

D = Dividend paid = $2

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Total rate of return = [(44 - 40) + 2] / 44

Total rate of return = [4 + 2] / 44

Total rate of return = 6 / 44

Total rate of return = 0.14, or 14%

b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

The risk-free rate of return is 3.2 percent and the market risk premium is 4.6 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 2.12

Answers

Answer:

12.95%

Explanation:

The risk free rate of return is 3.2%

The market risk premium is 4.6%

The beta is 2.12

Therefore, the expected rate of return on a stock can be calculated as follows

= 3.2% + (2.12×4.6%)

= 3.2% + 9.752

= 12.95%

Hence the expected rate of return on a stock is 12.95%

"A customer who is short 1 ABC Jan 65 Call wishes to create a "short call spread." The second option position that the customer must take is:"

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.

Jim and Kay Ross contributed to the support of their two children, Dale and Kim, and Jim's widowed parent, Grant. During the year, Dale, a 19-year-old full-time college student, earned $5,500 as a babysitter. Kim, a 23-year-old bank teller, earned $12,000. Grant received $5,000 in dividend income and $4,000 in nontaxable Social Security benefits (dividends, but not social security benefits, will be included in Grant's gross income). Kim and Grant currently reside with Jim and Kay. Dale's main place of residence is with Jim and Kay, and he is currently on a temporary absence to attend school. How many dependents can Jim and Kay claim on their joint income tax return?

Answers

Answer: 1 dependent

Explanation:

Only Dale can be claimed as a dependent as he is a qualifying child who is under 24 and is a full time student.

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million.  The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts.  Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average.  This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

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:

Answers

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

A firm has a required return of 14.2% and a beta of 1.63. If the risk-free rate is currently 5.4%, what is the expected return to the market? Assume that CAPM is correct.

Answers

Answer:

10.8%

Explanation:

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Expected rate - Risk free rate )

14.2% = 5.4% + 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

14.2% - 5.4% = 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

8.8% / 1.63 = market rate - 5.4%

5.4% = market rate - 5.4%

Market rate = 5.4% + 5.4%

Market rate = 10.8%

Market rate = 10.8%

Ultimate Butter Popcorn issues 5%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $58,000. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 5%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price will the bonds issue

Answers

Answer:

So, the bonds will issue at par which means that they will issue at their face value of $58000

Explanation:

If the coupon rate paid by the bond and the market interest rates are same, the bonds are always issued at par. We can check this through the following.

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.05 * 1/2 * 58000 = $1450

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 5% * 1/2 = 2.5% or 0.025

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 1450 * [( 1 - (1+0.025)^-30) / 0.025]  +  58000 / (1+0.025)^30

Bond Price = $58000

The depreciation method that allocates an equal portion of the total depreciable cost for a plant asset to each unit produced is called:

Answers

Answer:

Accelerated depreciation

Explanation:

The term that is being described in the question is known as an Accelerated depreciation. In other words, this is a depreciation method where an asset loses its book value at a much more rapid pace than more traditional methods. This method is mostly used in accounting or for income tax purposes because it allows for a greater deduction in the first couple of years of the asset's life cycle.

Answer:

The units-of-production depreciation method

Explanation:

The units-of-production depreciation method assigns an equal amount of expense to each unit produced or service rendered by the asset.

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 8 -
B 10 A
C 8 A,B
D 10 B,C
E 8 C
F 4 D,E

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:________

Answers

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

= 48

[tex]The minimum number = \frac{48}{12} \\\\= 4[/tex]

The efficiency of the assembly line

[tex]\frac{48}{5*60} \\\\= 0.8\\\\0.8*100 = \\\\80percent[/tex]

Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?

Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time

a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.

Answers

Answer:

d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.

Explanation:

There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:

we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facility

If we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:

only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?

Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.

Two mutually exclusive projects have an initial cost of $60,000 each. Project A produces cash inflows of $30,000, $37,000, and $20,000 for Years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflow of $80,000 in Year 2 only. The required rate of return is 10 percent for Project A and 11 percent for Project B. Which project(s) should be accepted and why

Answers

Answer:

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

Explanation:

Net present value van be used to determine which project should be accepted.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $20,000

I = 10%

NPV = $12,877.54

For project B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $0

Cash flow in year 2 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $0

I = 11%

NPV = $4,929.79

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

To find the NPV 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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute
