e. Neither X nor Y is an acceptable project

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Project X

Explanation:

For Project X

Year       Net cash outflow             Net cash inflow Balance

0              -$77,000                        -$77,000

1               $28,000                        -$49,000

2               $28,000                       -$21,000

3                $28,000                        $7,000

4                    0                               $7,000

Payback period = 2 + $21,000 ÷ $28,000

= 2 + 0.75

= 2.75 years

For Project Y

Year       Net cash outflow          Net cash inflow Balance

0              -$55,000                       -$55,000

1                $2,000                         -$53,000

2               $25,000                       -$28000

3                $25,000                       -$3,000

4                $20,000                       $17,000

Payback period = 3 +3,000 ÷ 20,000

= 3 + 0.15

= 3.15 years

Project X has a lesser than 3 year payback period. So, the correct option is D

What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average

Answers

Answer:

The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.

This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.

Explanation:

Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital.  If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa.  In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.

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%

Answer: measuring the services in terms of current market prices

Explanation:

Based on the information that has been provided in the question, it should be noted that the monetary value of a homemaker's time can be estimated by

comparing the value of the services to the spouse's wage rate, measuring the marginal value of the services by the homemaker's wage rate received in a part-time job and also measuring the value of the services by looking at the homemaker's opportunity costs.

Therefore, the option that measuring the services in terms of current market prices is not estimated.

Answers

Answer:

Best case

Price 2,640

Variable cost per unit 352

Fixed cost 1.28 million

Quantity 108,000 units

Worst case

Price 1,760

Variable cost per unit 528

Fixed cost 1.92 million

Quantity 72,000 units

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the best case expenses would be 20% lower while the incomes will be 20% higher.

Calculation for the price

Price = 2,200 ×(1+0.20)

Price=2,200×1.2

Price = 2,640

Calculation for Variable cost per unit

Variable cost per unit = 440× (1-0.20)

Variable cost per unit=440×0.80

Variable cost per unit= 352

Calculation for fixed cost

Fixed cost = 1.60 million ×(1-0.20)

Fixed cost=1.60 million× 0.80

Fixed cost= 1.28 million

Calculation for the Quantity

Quantity = 90,000 × (1+0.20)

Quantity =90,000×1.2

Quantity=108,000units

Therefore, Best case will be:

Price 2,640

Variable cost per unit 352

Fixed cost 1.28 million

Quantity 108,000units

Based on the information given in the worst case expenses would be 20% higher while incomes would be 20% lower.

Calculation for the price

Price = 2,200 × (1-0.20) = 1080

Price=2,200 ×0.8

Price=1,760

Calculation for the Variable cost per unit

Variable cost per unit = 440 × (1+0.20)

Variable cost per unit=440× 1.2

Variable cost per unit= 528

Calculation for Fixed cost

Fixed cost = 1.60 million × (1+0.20)

Fixed cost=1.60 million×1.2

Fixed cost= 1.92 million

Calculation for the Quatity

Quantity = 90,000 ×(1-0.20)

Quantity=90,000×0.8

Quantity= 72,000 units

Therefore Worst case will be:

Price 1,760

Variable cost per unit 528

Fixed cost 1.92 million

Quantity 72,000 units

The firm is an all-equity firm with assets worth $350 million and 100 million shares outstanding. It plans to borrow $100 million and use these funds to repurchase shares. The firm’s marginal corporate tax is 21%, and it plans to keep its outstanding debt equal to $100 million permanently. If the firm manages to repurchase shares at $4 per share, what is the per share value of equity for the leveraged firm? A) $2.71 per share B) $3.5 per share C) $3.61 per share D) $3.71 per share E) $4 per share

Answers

Answer:

B) $3.5 per share

Explanation:

Assets = Existing assets + Tax shield

= $350 million + 21% * $100 million

= $371 million

Equity = Asset - Debt

= $371 million - $100 million

= $271 million

The Shares are repurchase at $4

At this price, the firm would have 100 - 100/4 = 75 million shares outstanding .

Worth of shares outstanding = Equity / Outstanding shares  

Worth of shares outstanding = ($271 million / 75 million shares)

Worth of shares outstanding = $3.61 per shares

Sell Inc.'s stock has a 25 percent chance of producing a 30% return, a 50 percent chance of producing a12% return, and a 25 percent chance of producing a 5% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.

The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Generally, partners recognize gain on property contributed to a partnership only when the cash they are deemed to receive from debt relief exceeds their basis in the partnership prior to the deemed distribution. Harry did not have any debt relief.

b) $0.

Partners may never recognize loss when property is contributed to a partnership even when they are relieved of debt.

c) Sally should consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it. By selling the property, she could recognize the $50,000 built-in loss on the equipment.

A practice, favored by unions, which contractually binds employers to hire only workers who are already members of the union is called a(n):

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Closed Shop.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Closed Shop" refers to a type of practice well known as "pre-entry closed shop" too that unions favored with the only purpose to obligate the companies to contract workers who are already members of the union itself so in that situation both the company and the union tend to have an agreement of maintaining certain salary price for the workers so they are not in a continous fight. Moreover, this practice allow the workers to be employed by the company only if they are members of the union and as long as they are members of it.

You purchased a stock at a price of $48.98. The stock paid a dividend of $1.63 per share and the stock price at the end of the year was $54.12. What was the total return for the year? Multiple Choice 13.82% 10.49% 13.17% 12.51% 3.33%

Answers

Answer:

13.82%

Explanation:

The computation of total return for the year is shown below:-

Total return = (End value - Beginning value + Dividend) ÷ Beginning value

= ($54.12 - $48.98 + $1.63) ÷ $48.98

= 6.77 ÷ $48.98

= 0.13821

or

= 13.82%

Therefore for computing the total return we simply applied the above formula by considering all the information given in the question

Steady​ Company's stock has a beta of . If the​ risk-free rate is and the market risk premium is ​, what is an estimate of Steady​ Company's cost of​ equity?

Answers

The question is incomplete as it misses the figures. The following is the complete question.

Steady Company's stock has a beta of 0.21. If the risk-free rate is 6.2% and the market risk premium is 6.9%, what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?

Answer:

The cost of equity is 0.07649 or 7.649%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069

r = 0.07649 or 7.649%

Which of these conditions helped establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States

Answers

Question Completion:

Choices: Rapid improvements in transportation and communication; the production of goods for a cash market; and the use of inventions and innovations to produce goods for a mass market.

Answer:

The condition that helped to establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States is:

Rapid improvements in transportation and communication

Explanation:

Rapid improvements in transportation and communication spurred innovations.  With innovations, capitalism was born.  Innovations needed factories for mass production.  In turn, according to American History, "factories and mass production increasingly displaced individual artisans and farmers," who survived at subsistent levels.  Large farms grew and produced crops for distant markets, no longer only for family and local markets.  Most of the crops were further processed, packaged, preserved, and shipped through cheap transportation systems like the Erie Canal, using steamboats.  And the rest, they say, is history.

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.

Answers

Answer:

$1423.38

Explanation:

number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30

first payment = $100

interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134

increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08

we can calculate the present value using this Equation

= (p / (r-g))  * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]

where :

p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852

[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) =  (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) =  0.7686

hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38

Note :

p ( first principal payment ) = $100

r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134

g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08

ABC Corporation, after many profitable years, declares a one-time special cash dividend of $10.00 per share. After the announcement, the stock is trading at $100 per share. Your customer holds 1 ABC Jan 110 Call. As of the ex date, the customer will have:

Answers

Answer:

1 ABC Jan 100 Call

Explanation:

Although the OCC does not usually adjust the strike price of listed options for regular quarterly cash dividends. This is because they are known quantity that are segmented by the market into options premium.

For special cash dividends, they are not a frequent event hence market does not recognize them. This special cash dividend is $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000 value per contract. It therefore means that the $1,000 value per contract will be adjusted.

The new strike price will be

= 110 - 10 cash dividend

= 100. It also means that the number of shares covered by the contract does not change.

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study

Answers

Answer:

Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.

Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.

Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

It is possible, however, to track the inheritance of more than one trait at a time. When one is investigating the inheritance of two traits at once the cross is called a dihybrid cross. Strictly speaking, a dihybrid cross is one between two individuals that are heterozygous for two traits, meaning that they are hybrids in two senses. For example, in humans eye color is determined by multiple factors, but if we compare only blue eyes to brown eyes, brown is dominant (R) and blue acts as a recessive allele (r). If a man heterozygous for both eye color and bent little finger has a child with a woman who also heterozygous for both traits, this would be a dihybrid cross.
