Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year
Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%
= 3/100
= 0.03
The risk free rate of return is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
The beta is 0.5
The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return
= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)
= 0.05+0.5(0.08)
= 0.05+0.04
= 0.09
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows
Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)
Vo= 6/0.12
Vo= $50
Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50

Suppose the 2020 adidas financial statements contain the following selected data (in millions). Current assets $4,575 Interest expense $200 Total assets 9,000 Income taxes 178 Current liabilities 3,050 Net income 236 Total liabilities 5,670 Cash 800 Compute the following values. (a) Working capital. $ millions (b) Current ratio. (Round to 2 decimal places, e.g. 6.25:1.) :1 (c) Debt to assets ratio. (Round to 0 decimal places, e.g. 62%.) % (d) Times interest earned.
Answer:
a. $1,525 million
b. 1.50 times
c. 29 %
Explanation:
Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
= $4,575 million - $3,050 million
= $1,525 million
Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= $4,575 million ÷ $3,050 million
= 1.50 times
Debt to Asset ratio = Interest bearing Debt / Total Assets × 100
= ($ 5,670 - $3,050) / $9,000 × 100
= 29 %

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 55,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Answer:
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units production= 55,000 units
Production costs:
Direct materials $5
Direct labor $9
Avoidable Overhead= 3
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
We need to determine the total cost of making in-house and buying.
We will take into account only the variable cost (avoidable cost).
Make in-house:
Total cost= 55,000*(5 + 9 + 3)= $935,000
Buy:
Total cost= 55,000*20= $1,100,000
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
Eastern Corporation has $1,000 par value bonds with 4 years to maturity. The bonds pay an 8% coupon rate with semi-annual coupon interest payments. The bond's closing price is quoted at 101.25. Suppose you purchase the bond for the closing price. What is the bond's yield to maturity?
Answer:
7.64%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $1,000 × 101.25 = $1,012.50
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 4 years × 2 = 8 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The yield to maturity is
= 3.82% × 2
= 7.64%
The bond's yield to maturity:
Given Information,
Present value = $1,000 × 101.25 = $1,012.50 Future value or Face value = $1,000 PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40 NPER = 4 years × 2 = 8 years
Yield to maturity = 3.82% × 2
Yield to maturity= 7.64%

a. $91,561
b. $47,773
c. $43,673
d. $84,788
Answer:
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)
PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =
PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 = 43,246.56
Step 3 :Total Present Value
Total prent value = 43,246.56 + 47,191.79721 = 90,438.36
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36

(net) 650,000 765,000 Liabilities 255,000 255,000 Lake would record goodwill of
Answer:
Lake would record goodwill of $365,000
Explanation:
Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment
Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000
Fair value of net assets = $890,000
Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed
Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000
Fair market value = $635,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value
= $1,000,000 - $635,000
= $365,000
Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.
1. The Lounge Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $10 a pair. Variable manufacturing cost is $4.75 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $0.75 a pair.

The effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales:
(b) $22,500 increase
2. Manchester
Explanation:
1. The Lounge Company:
Selling price = $10 per pair
Variable manufacturing cost = $4.75 per pair
Allocated fixed manufacturing cost = $0.75 per pair
Total manufacturing costs = $5.50
Special order of 30,000 pairs
Price of special order = $5.50 per pair
Sales value of special special order = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Manufacturing cost for special order:
Based on full cost = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Based on variable cost = $142,500 (30,000 x $4.75)
Contribution = $22,500 ($165,000 - $142,500)
The special order will not bring about any increase in operating income if the full cost is used to determine the net income. If, however, the variable cost is used, considering that The Lounge Company has idle capacity, then there is a contribution of $22,500 to the operating income.
You have invested 20 percent of your portfolio in Homer, Inc., 40 percent in Marge Co., and 20 percent in Bart Resources. What is the expected return of your portfolio if Homer, Marge, and Bart have expected returns of 2 percent, 18 percent, and 3 percent, respectively?
Answer:
Expected return = 8.2%
Explanation:
A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The return on a portfolio is the weighted average of all the return of the individual assets weighted according to the percentage of total funds allocated to each assets.
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb) + (Wc*Rc) + Wn*Rn
W= Weight i.e proportion of fund invested in each asset class
Wa = 20%, Wb- 40%, Wc- 20%
Ra-2%, Rb-18%, Rc- 3%
E(R) = (0.2 *2%) + (0.4× 18%) + (0.2*3%) = 8.2%
Expected return = 8.2%
Rent expense of $3,000 is allocated to Department A and Department B based on square footage. Department A has 5,000 square feet and Department B has 2,500 square feet.
The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B
Using this formula
Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot
Let plug in the formula
Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500
Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500
Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500
Expense allocated to department B= $1,000
Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000

Required:
Calculate the ARR.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return = 24.10%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:
Accounting rate of return
= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100
Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2
Average profit = Total profit over investment period / Number of years
Total profit = 360,000 + 360,000 + 600,000 +1,080,000, + 1,200,000 + 2,520,000 + 1,444,000 = 7,564,000.00
Average annual profit = 7,564,000/7 = 1,080,571.43
Average Investment = 9,000,000/2= 4500000
Accounting rate of return = 1,080,571.43 /4,500,000 × 100 = 24.10%
Accounting rate of return = 24.10%
If a perfectly competitive firm and a monopolistic competitor in long-run equilibrium face the same demand and cost curves, then the competitive firm will produce a
Answer: a. the former will earn zero economic profits, but the latter will earn positive economic profits.
Explanation:
In the long-run, conditions are different for Monopolies and Perfectly competitive firms.
In the long -run, a Perfectly competitive firm would see no economic profits due to the low barriers to entry in the market which will see companies coming into the market and increasing competition to a point where no single firm can make an economic profit.
With a Monopoly though, they are the single supplier in the market and as such will make economic profits in the long run from charging consumers are a rate higher than their marginal cost. As they are the only or major ones in the market, the price will not be challenged leading to an economic profit.
If a perfectly competitive firm and a Monopoly had the same demand and cost curves, the Perfect competition firm would make less as their cost curves would be close or at the same level with the demand but the cost curves would be less than demand for the Monopoly leading to economic profits.
A decline in the domestic real interest rate would cause a ________ in net exports and a ________ in the exchange rate.
Answer: fall; rise
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the rate of interest that is received by an investor, lender or after inflation has been taken into consideration.
The real interest rate is when the inflation rate is deducted from the nominal interest rate. A reduction in the domestic real interest rate would cause a fall in net exports and a rise in the exchange rate.

How much time, on average, would a server need to spend on a customer to achieve a service rate of 20 customers per hour?
Answer:
3 hour 18 minutes or 3 hour
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of time on average is shown below:-
The Average waiting time in the system
= [tex]\frac{1}{\mu} -\gamma[/tex]
Now we will put the values into the above formula to reach the time on average which is here below:-
[tex]= \frac{1}{20} - 1[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{19}[/tex]
= 0.053 × 60 minutes
= 3 hours 18 minutes
We assume [tex]\gamma[/tex] is 1 hour
Therefore for computing the time on average we simply applied the above formula.
A stock has had returns of 12 percent, 19 percent, 21 percent, −12 percent, 26 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
Geometric average return
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
