Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being less than $9000? (Assume a normal distribution.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

For Builtrite, we can find the probability of cash flows by using the following formula:

Z = (X - C) / S

Average Cash Flow is $16000 which denoted by "C"

Standard Deviation is $4000 and is denoted by "S"

And

For cash flows that are less than $9000 which is denoted by X in the equation, "Z" can be calculated as under:

Z = (X - C) / S = ($9,000 - $16,000) / $4,000 = -1.75

As Z is less than -1.75, now we can see that the probability from the Z-table is 4% for -1.75.

Hence the probability of cash flow below $9,000 is 4%.

"expects to generate free cash flows of $200,000 per year for the next five years. Beyond that time, free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year forever. If the firm’s average cost of capital is 15 percent, the market values of the firm’s debt and preferred stock are $400,000 and $100,000, respectively. There are 125,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the value of the firm’s stock"

Answers

Answer:

The value of the firm's stock is $703,920

The price is $5.63 per share ($703,920/125,000 shares)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Free cash flows = $200,000

Present value of the free cash flows = $200,000 x Annuity Factor, for 5 years at cost of capital of 15% x (1 + growth rate)

= $200,000 x 3.352 x 1.05

= $703,920

Therefore, common equity = $703,920

To calculate Company XYZ's free cash flows in their present value, they are discounted, using the present value table.  The resulting amount is equivalent to the value of the common stock.  The company's free cash flow is the amount that is left after settling operating expenses and capital expenditure.

Direct materials purchased and used (1,850 pounds) $4,070
Direct labor (620 hours) $7,130
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor. Identify whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable?

Answers

Answer:

1. Actual Quantity = 1,850 pounds

Actual materials cost = $4,070

Standard rate per pound = $2

Standard Quantity = 6 pounds per unit * 300 units

Standard Quantity = 1,800

Standard materials cost = Standard Quantity * Standard rate per pound

Standard materials cost = 1,800 * $2

Standard materials cost = $3,600

1a. Total Materials Variance = Actual materials cost - Standard materials cost

Total Materials Variance = $4,070 - $3,600

Total Materials Variance = $470 Unfavorable

1b. Materials Price Variance = Actual materials cost - Actual Quantity * Standard rate per pound

Materials Price Variance = $4,070 - 1,850 * $2

Materials Price Variance = $370 Unfavorable

1c. Materials Quantity Variance = Standard rate per pound * (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

Materials Quantity Variance = $2.00 * (1,850 - 1,800)

Materials Quantity Variance = $100 Unfavorable

2. Actual labor hours = 620

Actual labor cost = $7,130

Standard rate per hour = $12

Standard labor hours = 2 hours per unit * 300 units

Standard labor hours = 600

Standard labor cost = Standard labor hours * Standard rate per hour

Standard labor cost = 600 * $12

Standard labor cost = $7,200

2a. Total Labor Variance = Actual Labor cost - Standard Labor cost

Total Labor Variance = $7,130 - $7,200

Total Labor Variance = $70 Favorable

2b. Labor Price Variance = Actual Labor cost - Actual labor hours * Standard rate per hour

Labor Price Variance = $7,130 - 620 * $12

Labor Price Variance = $310 Favorable

2c. Labor Quantity Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Actual labor hours - Standard labor hours)

Labor Quantity Variance = $12.00 * (620 - 600)

Labor Quantity Variance = $240 Unfavorable

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?

Answers

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%

Lopez Company uses both standards and budgets. For the year, estimated production of Product X is 500,000 units. Total estimated cost for materials and labor are $1,400,000 and $1,700,000.
Compute the estimates for (a) a standard cost and (b) a budgeted cost. (Round standard costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

Answers

Answer:

a. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of material ÷ Estimated production

= $1,400,000 / 500,000 unit

= $2.80 per unit

Thus, the standard cost of material is $2.80, and the budgeted cost is $1,400,000.

b. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of labor / Estimated production

= $1,700,000 / 500,000

= $3.40  per unit

Thus, standard cost of labor is $3.40 and budgeted cost is $1,700,000.

You purchased shares of stock one year ago at a price of $62.37 per share. During the year, you received dividend payments of $1.77 and sold the stock for $69.49 per share. If the inflation rate during the year was 2.07 percent, what was your real return?

Answers

Answer:

real rate of return= 10.93%

Explanation:

The return on equity is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Capital gain =  $69.49- 62.37 = 6.92

Dividend -= 1.77

Nominal return on stock= (1.77 + 6.92)/ 62.37 × 100 =  13.93 %

Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money  

Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.  

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.  

The relationship between inflation, real return and nominal return rate is given using the Fishers Effect;  

N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1  

N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation  

real rate of return = (1.1393)/ (1.027)- 1 = 0.1093

real rate of return = 0.1093 × 100 = 10.93%

real rate of return= 10.93%

Answers

Answer

a) $15

Explanation:

We will use the formula for Total labor variance to arrive at Standard rate.

Total labor variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)

Substituting the data above into the formula, we'll have;

-$23,000 = (4,000 × $13) - (5,000 × SR)

-$23,000 = $52,000 - 5,000SR

Collect like terms

5,000SR = $52,000 + $23,000

5,000SR = $75,000

SR = $75,000 / 5,000

SR = $15

Och, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.75 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .8, a cost of equity of 11.5 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.3 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?

Answers

Answer:

$18,191,268.19

Explanation:

the company's WACC = (weight of equity x Re) + (weight of debt x after tax cost of debt) = (0.6 x 11.5%) + (0.4 x 4.3%) = 6.9% + 1.72% = 8.62%

discount rate adjustment factor = 8.62% + 3% = 11.62%

to determine the value of the project:

$1,750,000 / (11.62% - 2%) = $1,750,000 / 9.62% = $18,191,268.19

If the initial outlay is $18,191,268.19, then the project's NPV = $0. This is the maximum amount that the firm should be willing to invest in this project.

Which method of evaluating capital investment proposals uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from the net cash flows

Answers

Answer:

Internal rate of return

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is that return in which the net present value equivalent to zero

Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows after charging the discounting factor like 10% 12% etc

So as per the given situation, the internal rate of return is the correct answer

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

=7.35 percent

a) Nelson Company's current ratio is the measure of the company's ability to settle maturing short-term liabilities with short-term financial resources.  It is is measured as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

b) Nelson's acid-test ratio takes away the encumbrances that can slow the conversion of current assets into cash for the settlement of current liabilities.  In this case, the inventory, stores supplies, and prepaid insurance are excluded.

c) Nelson has a robust gross margin ratio of more than 60%.  This means that it is able to limit the cost of goods sold to below 40%.  However, management of Nelson Company is unable to control its periodic costs in order to generate reasonable net income, as it can only turn less than 9% of the sales into returns for J. Nelson.

Granite Stone Creamery sold ice cream equipment for $17,600. Granite Stone originally purchased the equipment for $94,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $73,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment

Answers

Answer:loss on the sale of the equipment =$3,400

Explanation:

---We first compute the book value of the equipment

 Cost of asset=$94,000

accumulated depreciation = $73,000

Book Value of assets =  Cost of asset-accumulated depreciation

= $94,000 - $73,000= $21,000

---Gain or Loss on the asset

Sale value of equipment = $17,600

Book value of equpment= $21,000

loss on sale of equipment  = Sale value of equipment-Book value of equipment=$17,600-  $21,000= -$3,400

Answer: a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.

Explanation:

Fixed overhead costs are the costs that are incurred by an organization that doesn't change even when the lre is a change in the volume of production activity. The fixed overhead costs are vital in order for the effective operation of the company.

When the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.

Variance is the data analysis tool that helps in measuring the gap between the actual and budgeted or the standard data. The standards are set based on past records and performances. There are various types of variances such as cost variance, efficiency variance, rate variance, volume variance, and many more.

The cost of available but unused productivity capacity is indicated by fixed factory overhead volume variance.

When the standard fixed overhead rate or can be said as the fixed overhead cost is constant and remains at full capacity irrespective of the changes in the volume of production activity.

In this case, the cost of productive capacity can be determined by using the fixed factory overhead volume variance. This is because it determines the difference between the fixed cost based upon the budgets and the production capacity.

A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1​% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9​%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2​%, what will happen to the price of the​ bond?

Answers

Answer:

The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.

Explanation:

bond's current market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35

$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54

current market price = $3,928.89

if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:

$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80

$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01

current market price = $3,856.81

Mortgage insurance rates vary with the perceived riskiness of the loan.Which of the following scenarios would result in a higher mortgage insurance premium?
A) Lower loan-to-value ratio
B) Shorter loan term
C) Stronger credit record of the borrower
D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan

Answers

Answer: D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan

Explanation:

A "cash-out" refinancing loan refers to when a person replaces the mortgage that they have on a house with a newer, larger mortgage than the balance of the previous mortgage on the house.

The difference between this new mortgage and the old one can then be withdrawn in cash.

This would attract a higher mortgage insurance premium because the value of debt has now increased because as earlier mentioned, the new mortgage will be larger than the previous one so to cater for this, the insurance premiums will rise.

A stock has an expected return of 8.19 percent and its reward-to-risk ratio is 6.9 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2.15 percent, what is the stock's beta

Answers

Answer:

0.87

Explanation:

The beta of the stock can be calculated by rearranging the Reward to risk ratio formula. The Reward to risk ratio is given below

DATA

Risk free rate of return = 2.15%

Reward to risk ratio  = 6.9%

Expected return = 8.19%

Beta =?

Reward to risk ratio = (expected return - risk free rate) / beta.

6.9% = ( 8.19% - 2.15%) / beta

6.9% = 6.04%/beta

beta = 6.04% / 6.9%

beta = 0.87

Consider a 10 year bond with a face value of $1000 that has a coupon rate of 5.3%, with semiannual payments. What is the coupon payment for this bond?

Answers

Answer:

$26.5

Explanation:

the question says that the bond has a face value equal to 1000 dollars

coupon rate = 5.3%

and that the bond pays semiannually. semiannually means that it pays after 6 months.

semi annual coupon payment formula is given by = coupon rate/2 multiplied by face value

= 5.3%/2 multiplied by 1000

= 0.0265 x 1000

= $26.5

therefore from this calculation, the coupon payment on the bond is $26.5 dollars in every six months or semiannually.

Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 78,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,500 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 6,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year

Answers

Answer:

77,500 units

Explanation:

Projected sales = 78,000 machines

Opening inventory = 6,500 units

Closing inventory = 6,000 units

We will use the formulae below to calculate Budgeted production in unit.

Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Production - Sales

6,000 = 6,500 + Production - 78,000

Production = 6,000 - 6,500 + 78,000

= 77,500 units.

Therefore, Budgeted production is 77,500 units
