TB MC Qu. 6-62 Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is ... Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 18% and its fixed monthly expenses are $51,000. If the company's sales for a month are $313,000, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income

Answers

Answer:

$5,340

Explanation:

Gayne's corporation contribution margin ratio is 18%

= 18/100

= 0.18

The fixed monthly expenses is $51,000

The company sales for the month is $313,000

Therefore, the net operating income can be calculated as follows

= (Contribution margin ratio×sales)-fixed expenses

= (0.18× $313,000)- $51,000

= $56,340-$51,000

= $5,340

Hence the best estimate of the company's net operating income is $5,340

A 2-for-1 stock split was granted on July 5, 2021. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share

Answers

Answer:Earnings per share fOR 2021= 0.53

Explanation:

Earnings per share =Total earnings available to shareholders(Net income - preferred dividends )/Weighted Average Outstanding  shares

Net income = $50,000

preferred dividend= $2,000

Total earnings available to common shareholders = $50,000 - $2000= $48,000

using a 2-1 stock spilt , outstanding shares= 40,000  x 2  + 10,000 x 6/12(jan- 1st july ) x 2 = 80,000 + 10,000 = $90,000

Earnings per share = $48,000/ $90,000 =0.53

Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Act is designed to do which of the following? a. Establish the rules of reorganization for firms with projected cash flows that eventually will be sufficient to meet debt payments. b. Allow the firm to negotiate with each creditor individually. c. Provide safeguards against the withdrawal of assets by the owners of the bankrupt firm and allow insolvent debtors to discharge all of their obligations and to start over unhampered by a burden of prior debt. d. Ensure that the firm is viable after emerging from bankruptcy. e. Protect shareholders against creditors.

Answers

Answer: c. Provide safeguards against the withdrawal of assets by the owners of the bankrupt firm and allow insolvent debtors to discharge all of their obligations and to start over unhampered by a burden of prior debt.

Explanation:

When a person or entity files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, a trustee is appointed that will sell off the assets of the entity to enable repayment of debt to the creditors. As such, the entity will not be allowed to touch the assets thereby providing safeguards against their withdrawals by same.

After all assets are sold, any remaining debt is forgiven so that the debtor owes no more debt. This will then given them a chance to start over without having to worry about the previous debts they accumulated.

June finds an ad on Craigslist for a used car at a price she is willing to pay in cash. She emails the seller and offers to pay $200 extra more the asking price. She asks the seller to call her immediately to work out a deal. The seller calls June and they orally agree that June will pay $5200 for the car. June is to drop by sellers house in two days with cash in hand. They do not sign a formal agreement or otherwise follow-up by email or any other writing. The next day, another buyer offers seller $5500 for the car. Seller calls June to tell her that he will sell the car to the other buyer unless she can match the price. She tells him that they already have an agreement, and refuses. June receives an email from seller later that day. The email states:

Hey:
I spoke with my cousin, who is an attorney. He stated that I do not have to sell you my car because we didn’t sign anything, so it is not enforceable. Sorry our deal did not work out.
Cheers!

Required:
Can June still enforce the agreement, or is it unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds? Discuss.

Answers

Answer:

The Statute of Frauds requires that any contract involving the sale of goods worth more than $500 must be in writing and signed by all the participating parties.

In this case, the seller is right. Since there is no written and signed contract, then there is no contract at all. All that June has is an oral contract that cannot be enforced.

The Rhaegel Corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.2. If the risk-free rate is 4.3 percent and the expected return on the market is 13 percent, what is the company’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock..

Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk.

Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.  

Under CAPM,  

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r)- cost of equity , Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.  

Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:  

β-1.2 Rf- 4.3%, Rm = 13%  

E(r) = 4.3% + 1.2 × (13 - 4.3)%=14.74 %

Expected return = 14.74 %

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Answers

The question is incomplete:

If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.

a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than one job.

b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

d. The future is even more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

The poverty trap is a situation in which having more income results on losing benefits. In this case, the poverty trap is more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have a salary but this results on her having additional expenses that she would not have if she was not working and this decreases the benefits she gets by having a job. Because of that, the answer is that her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

The other options are not right because she won't have an incentive to work more than one job because that would increase expenses like child care, the family won't be better as a result of the additional expenses and because of that, the future won't be more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

In economics, the poverty trap refers to certain circumstances that make it very difficult for a poor person to become middle or upper class, or increase their income even if they continue to fall under the poverty line.

Imagine a situation where you work for a very low salary, and besides that, you must spend a large portion of your salary paying for transportation and childcare costs. The gains resulting from your work will decrease compared to a situation where you worked in a business that was located at a walking distance and childcare services were provided for free. The economic equation is simple, the higher the costs, the less the profit.

American corporations vary in numerous and varied degrees from corporations of other countries. For example, in Japan, the government limits the highest wages a corporate officer may receive based as a multiple of what the lowest wage earner in the corporation receives. At one point, the highest paid employee of a Japanese corporation could receive only sixty (60) times the wage of the lowest paid employee of the corporation. Is this a wise regulation, or does this somehow limit the competitiveness of Japanese corporations

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

The wage restrictions would limit the competition of Japanese firms as the Executive Directors will be under under-paid and they will looking for jobs else where. This demotivation due to low pays would affect the competition of Japanese firms as the employee's productivity will also be lowered. The employees rather they are of Executive Level or they belong to lower level, they must be paid according to their performance. Their might be a fixed portion and a performance based portion which would erge the employee to work hard.

HighLife Corporation has the following information: Average demand = 30 units per day Average lead time = 40 days Item unit cost = $45 for orders of less than 400 units Item unit cost = $40 for orders of 400 units or more Ordering cost = $50 Inventory carrying cost = 15 percent The business year is 300 days. Standard deviation of demand during lead time = 90 Desired service level = 95 percent What is the EOQ if HighLife pays $45/unit? Due to possible differences in rounding, choose the closest answer.\

Answers

Answer:

365.15 units

Explanation:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]

where,

Annual demand is

= 30 units × 300 days

= 90,000 units

ordering cost is $50

Carrying cost is

= $45 × 15%

= $6.75

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the economic order quantity is

IBM expects to pay a dividend of $2 next year and expects these dividends to grow at 6​% a year. The price of IBM is $90 per share. What is​ IBM's cost of equity​ capital?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 8.22%

Explanation:

Cost of equity = Dividend per share /current market value + growth rate of dividend  

Cost of equity = 2/90 + 6%

Cost of equity = 0.0222 + 6%

Cost of equity =0.0222 + 0.06

Cost of equity = 0.0822

Cost of equity = 8.22%

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. Adviser A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5, and adviser B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which adviser was the better stock picker

Answers

Answer:

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Adviser A's excess return = 3%

Adviser B's excess return = 0.04%  

Explanation:

To compare the performance of the two stock advisers, we first need to determine the required or expected rate of return of both the portfolios.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the expected rate of return for each portfolio.

The equation for CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

Adviser A

r = 0.05 + 1.5 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.17 or 17%

The required rate of return of Adviser A's portfolio was 17% while his portfolio yielded a return of 20% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 20 - 17 = 3%

Adviser B

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

The required rate of return of Adviser B's portfolio was 14.6% while his portfolio yielded a return of 15% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 15 - 14.6 = 0.04%

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Danny owns two companies where he has recently made changes. The margin of safety ratio for Company X is 42% and the margin of safety ratio for Company Y is 25%. What does this imply about the two companies?

Answers

Answer: Company X could lose more business before it will begin experiencing financial difficulties when it is being compared to company Y

Explanation:

Margin of safety ratio simply helps to understand the extent to which there'll be drop in sales before a company will begins to make a loss.

Since the margin of safety ratio for Company X is 42% and the margin of safety ratio for Company Y is 25%, it means that Company X could lose more business before it begins experiencing financial difficulties when it is compared to company Y.

A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 2 years at 105. The taxable gain or loss is a:

Answers

Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.

The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;

105 - 2 = 103

Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore

= 105 - 103

= 2 point capital gain

A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. % is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the yield to maturity rises to 6% from the current yield to maturity of 4.5%

Answers

Answer:

12.38% decrease

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

6%

Number of years = 12

Market yield I= 6 === 4.5

Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59

PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)

Future value = 1000

Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238

Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,

The percentage change in the price of this bond will be -12.38%.

The price of the bond at 4.5% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 4.50%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 4.5% = $1045.59

The price of the bond at 6.0% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 6.00%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 6.0% = $916.16

The percentage change in price will be:

= (916.16 - 1045.59) / 1045.59

= -12.38%

Debt financing has one important advantage that the early Modigliani and Miller (MM) propositions ignored: the interest on business debt is tax deductible. This benefit means that the amount of taxes that a business is required to
pay will be reduced by a phenomenon called an interest tax shield, which is a function of the amount of debt in the firm's capital structure and its tax rate. In contrast, the dividends that a corporation pays on its common and
preferred shares are not tax deductible.

Consider the case of Green Llama Foodstuffs, Inc.:

At the beginning of the year, Blue Chipmunk Foodstuffs, Inc. had an unlevered value of $8,500,000. It pays federal and state taxes at the marginal rate of 40%, and currently has $2,500,000 in debt capital in its capital structure.

According to MM Proposition I with taxes, Green Llama Foodstuffs is allowed to recognize a tax shield of ___________, and the levered value of the firm is:

a. $7,100,000
b. $12,500,000
c. $9,900,000
d. $4,500,000

Answers

Answer:

c. $9,500,000

Explanation:

Un-levered value = $8,500,000

Tax= 40% = 0.4

Debt capital= $2,500,000

Tax shield = Debt capital * Tax

Tax shield = $2,500,000 * 0.4

Tax shield = $1,000,000

Levered value = Unlevered value + Tax shield

Levered value = $8,500,000 + $1,000,000

Levered value = $9,500,000
