D=1000
V=4000
E=3000
V=4000
Calculate the proportions of debt (D/V) and equity (E/V) for the firm that you would use for
estimating the weighted average cost of capital (WACC):
A. 40% debt and 60% equity
B. 50% debt and 50% equity
C. 25% debt and 75% equity
D. none of the given values
Answer:
C
Explanation:
D / V = 1000 / 4000
Dividing 1000 by 4000 gives 0.25 = 25%
E / V = 3000 / 4000
Dividing 3000 by 4000 gives 0.75 = 75%

Craig's Car Wash Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payback?
WACC: 10.00%
Year : Cash flows
0 : -$900
1 : $500
2 : $500
3 : $500
Answer:
Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month
Explanation:
The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost
To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:
Year Cash flow DF Present value
0 900 × 1 = 900
1 500 × 1.1^(-1) = 454.55
2 500 × 1.1^(-2) = 413.22
2 500 × 1.1^(-3) = 375.66
Total PV for 2 years = 454.55 + 413.22 = 867.77
Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77 = 32.23
Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months
= 2 years 1 month
Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month
Jamie has worked for ABC Printing for 5 years. During this period ABC Printing has contributed $25,000 to her non-contributory retirement plan. Assuming ABC uses graded schedule vesting, how much will Jamie be able to roll into an IRA if she left ABC Printing after 5 years?
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Generally a graded vesting schedule lasts 6 years. After the first 2 years, the employee is entitled to 20% of accrued benefits (in this case contributions to her retirement plan). Then, the employee will be vested an additional 20% of the contribution benefits per year until the sixth year when 100% of the benefits are vested.
In this case, Jamie would be able to roll out $25,000 x 80% = $20,000
End of year % vested
2 20%
3 40%
4 60%
5 80%
6 100%

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,710, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 950 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 900 meals each day.Requried:a. Determine the current average cost per meal.b. A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this offer. How do you think the owner arrived at the $0.60 figure? Comment on the owner's reasoning.c. A local businessman on a break overhears the conversation with the leader and offers the owner a one-year contract to feed 300 of the businessman's employees one meal each day at a special price of $4.50 per meal. Should the restaurant owner accept this offer? Why or why not?
Answer:
Nature's Garden
a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:
Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity
Fixed costs per day = $1,710
Total costs = $5,510
Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80
b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:
Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)
Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)
Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168
Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60
Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00
Loss of $0.60
The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.
c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity. If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer. Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.
Explanation:
Selling price of chef's salad = $7
Daily fixed costs = $1,710
Variable costs per meal = $4
Meals capacity per day = 950
Average meals = 900
Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day. The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity. This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.
Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.9 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.7 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.9 million to build, and the site requires $940,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.

Standard price $ 1.20 per liter
Actual production was 2,600 units.
The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420
Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable

Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part and the needed diagram
suppose John is shopping and has $20 to spend on hand sanitizer. He can go with Germ-X (G) at $1 per fluid ounce (pG=1), or he can purchase purell (P) at $1.25 per fluid ounce (Pp=1.25). His utility function for the two different hand sanitizers is as follows:
U = G +1.1P
where G and P are measured in fluid ounces.
Solve the consumer’s problem for John’s optimal demand for Germ-X and Purell. (You should find actual numbers representing the quantity of Germ-X chosen and the quantity of purell chosen
ANSWER: The solution = (Germ-x,Purell ) = (20,0).
Explanation:
The consumers problem for John's optimal demand for Germ-x and Purell as seen in the diagram can solved by John going maximizing his utility given the constraint of the budget,
that means that John will purchase/spend the constrained budget of ($20) on Germ-x since the unit price of Germ X is at $1 while Purell's unit price is at $1.25 per fluid ounce
The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct
True or false: A flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three different levels will have the same fixed costs.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A flexible budget is a budget in which you modify the activity levels to reflect changes in sales to help the company adjusts to different circumstances that may occcur. Also, in this budget the fixed costs remain constant and the variable costs change with the activity levels. According to this, the answer is that the statement that says that a flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three different levels will have the same fixed costs is true.
It is true that a flexible budget presenting sales volumes at three levels would have the same fixed expenses.
Flexible budget:A flexible budget is one in which activity levels are adjusted to reflect sales performance, allowing the organization to respond to unforeseen events.
Furthermore, in this budget, fixed expenditures stay constant while variable costs vary according to activity levels. The assumption that a flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three distinct levels will have the same fixed expenses.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.50. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 8% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
The current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula that assumes growth is dividend will be constant as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price = ?
D1 = Next dividend = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1 + 2%) = $1.53
r = required return = 8%, or 0.08
g = growth rate = 2%, or 0.02
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $1.53 / (0.08 - 0.02) = $25.50
Therefore, the current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.

Answer:
Please see the journal entries for the two treasury stock transactions.
Explanation:
• Purchase of treasury stock
Treasury stock Dr $5,600
To Cash account Cr $5,600
(Being the purchase of treasury stock that is recorded)
For recording the above, treasury stock was debited because it increased the treasury while cash credited because it decreased the assets.
• Sale of treasury stock
Cash account Dr $4,070
To Treasury stock Cr $3,700
To paid in capital- treasury stock Cr $370
Explanation
° Purchase of treasury stock
Treasury stock

° Sales of treasury stock
Cash receipt
= 370 shares × $11 per share
= $4,070
Treasury stock
= 370 shares × $10 per share
= $3,700
Paid in capital treasury stock
= 370 shares × ($11-$10)
= $370

The 7 percent bonds issued by Modern Kitchens pay interest semiannually, mature in eight years, and have a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bonds sell for $987. What is the yield to maturity? B) 6.92 percent D) 7.22 percent A) 6.97 percent C) 6.88 percent E) 7.43 percent
Answer:
The answer is D. 7.22 percent
Explanation:
Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year
N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $987
PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61
3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)
The ______ rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund
Answer:
nominal
Explanation:
There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.

Steel Tariffs Appear to Have Backfired on Bush
President Bush set aside his free-trade principles last year and imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel to help out struggling mills in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some economists say the tariffs may have cost more jobs than they saved, by driving up costs for automakers and other steel users.
Source: The Washington Post, September 19, 2003
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can help domestic steel producers.
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can harm steel users.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce______steel and they pay a ________price.
A. less; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; lower
D. more; higher
Answer:
Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.
For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.
On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.
Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.
Answer: D. more; higher
Explanation:
A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?
Answer:
B) plan 1 : worker earning y = x - 0.14 , unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 : worker earning y = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C) At 128%
D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE
Explanation:
In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance
In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company
B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
Plan 1 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1
unit labor cost = Y / 1
y = 0 - 30
unit labor = 0.3 / x
y = x - 0.14 therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1, y = 0.5x + 0.5
unit labor cost : Y / 1 = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C ) The point at which the two plans break even
0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14
0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x
0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )
x = 0.64 / 0.5 = 1.28 = 128%
D) The company would prefer plan 1
Suppose you invested in the Ishares High Yield Fund (HYG) a month ago. It paid a dividend of today and then you sold it for . What was your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
Complete Question:
Suppose you invested $100 in the Ishares High Yield Fund HYG your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
It paid a dividend of $2 today and then you sold it for $95. What was Dividend Yield and Capital Gains Yield on the investment?
Answer:
Dividend Yield is 2%
Capital Gains Yield is -5%
Explanation:
Dividend Yield:
We can calculate the Dividend Yield using the following formula:
Dividend Yield = D0 / Initial Stock Price
Here
D1 was Dividend paid just now and is $2 per share
Initial Stock Price before the dividend payment was $100 per share
By putting values, we have:
Dividend Yield = $2 per share / $100 per share = 2%
Capital Gains Yield:
We can find capital gains yield by using following formula:
Capital Gains Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Here
P1 is $95
P0 is $100
By putting values we have:
Capital Gains Yield = ($95 - $100) / $100 = -5%

You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 7 percent coupons, and currently have 7 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 5 years to maturity and Bond B has 10 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest changes unexpectedly to 6 percent, the price of Bond A will change by _____ percent and the price of Bond B will change by _____ percent.
Answer:
the price of Bond A will change by 4.21% and the price of Bond B will change by 7.36%.
Explanation:
Bonds A and B
current bond price $1,000
interest rate 7%
Bond A matures in 5 years, annual payments
Bond B matures in 10 years, annual payments
if market interest decreases to 6%
Bond A:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $747.26
$70 x 4.2124 (annuity factor, 6%, 5 periods) = $294.87
market price = $1,042.13
% change = 4.21%
Bond B:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ = $558.39
$70 x 7.3601 (annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $515.21
market price = $1,073.60
% change = 7.36%
