Answer:
$922.69
Explanation:
The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:
Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the new interest rate of 8%
n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3
coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50
price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%
price of 3-year bond=$922.69
Stock price is $150. You see an at-the-money call option trading at $15, and at-the-money put trading at $5. The options have the same expiration date. You decide to buy a straddle. What will be the breakeven points of the strategy, i.e., at what stock prices will your profit will be exactly zero?a. Two breakeven points, S* = 145 and S* = 165b. Two breakeven points, S* = 135 and S* = 155c. One breakeven point, S* = 150d. Two breakeven points, S* = 130 and S* = 170

11. Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: A. profit will go up 10% B. profit will go up more than 10% C. profit will go down by less than 10% D. profit will not change
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Profit = Revenue - cost
Cost = fixed cost + variable cost
if variable cost increases by 10%, cost would increase by 10%.
Revenue also increases by 10%
So, the increase in revenue would be cancelled by the increase in cost and profit would not change

In 2019, Tim sells Section 1245 property for $28,000 that he had purchased in 2009. Tim has claimed $5,000 in depreciation on the property and originally purchased it for $15,000. How much of the gain is taxable as ordinary income?
Answer:
The taxable amount at an ordinary rate = $5000
Explanation:
The selling price of a property in 2019 is = $28000
The depreciation on the property = $5000
Original purchased price of property = $15000
Adjusted tax = an orginal price – depreciation
Adjusted tax = 15000 – 5000 = $10000
Gain = selling price – adjusted tax
Gain = 28000 – 10000 = $18000
The part of gain ($18000) that is taxable as ordinary rate = $5000
Here, $13000 will be taxed as section 1231 as a gained tax at capital gain rate.
McCall Corporation has a capital structure consisting of 55 percent common equity, 30 percent debt, and 15 percent preferred stock. Any debt issues would have a pre-tax cost of 9.5%. Preferred stock can be issued for a cost of 11.5%. Common equity can be issued, but flotation costs of $4.25 per share of common stock would be paid. McCall common stock is currently selling in the market at $65 per share. McCall recently paid a dividend of $4 per share and company earnings and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% indefinitely. McCall has a marginal tax rate of 35% and the firm wants to keep its current capital structure. If the firm needs to raise additional equity, what will be the firm's cost of capital?
Answer:
WACC = 12.14%
Explanation:
Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%
Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%
Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g
Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%
WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

Group of answer choices.
a. if the buyer is relying on the seller to select suitable goods.
b. if the buyer asks for it.
c. if the seller is a merchant who deals in goods of the kind sold.
d. in conjunction with lease contracts, not sales contracts.
Answer:
a. if the buyer is relying on the seller to select suitable goods.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Construction Products Company and Dante enter into a contract for a sale of bricks and stones. Construction Products knows the purpose for which Dante will use the goods (bricks and stones). Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), an implied warranty of fitness of a particular purpose arises if the buyer is relying on the seller to select suitable goods. This simply means that, Construction Products who is the seller of the bricks and stones implied a warranty of fitness because they know the purpose for which Dante will use the acquired goods and should meet his requirements or needs.
Hence, Construction Products Company is bounded by the contractual agreement (warranty) to provide quality goods which would meet Dante's reasons for buying them since he relying on their expertise or judgmental skills.
The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture?
Answer:
The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.
Explanation:
Let the minimum annual revenue = X
Therefore,
The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows
X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)
Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.
X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)
X(5.847) = 130.858
X = 130.858 / 5.847
X = 22.38 millions
The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.4 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.29 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 10.6 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?
Answer: $50.83
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
r = required return = 10.6% = 0.106
D0 = Dividend = 3.29
g = growth rate = 4.4% = 0.044
The price per share of the company's stock will be:
= D0(1 + g)/(r - g)
= 3.29(1 + 0.044)/(0.106 - 0.044)
= 3.29(1.044)/(0.062)
= 3.15134/0.062
= $50.83

Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.
Answer:
Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:
1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.
2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.
3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.
4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.
5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.
6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.
Explanation:
For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company. Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future. That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.
The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

Abby had a checkbook balance of $1,002.45. She paid $76.98 to the electric company and $254.34 to the water company. What is Abby’s current checkbook balance?
Answer:
$671.13
Explanation:
Abby had a checkbook balance of $1,002.45
$76.98 was paid to the electric company
$254.34 was paid to the water company
Therefore the current checkbook balance can be calculated as follows
=$1,002.45-($76.98+$254.34)
= $1,002.45-$331.32
= $671.13
Hence Abby's current checkbook balance is $671.13
You are feeling overwhelmed by the number of potential goals you could set for your business unit. You ask your colleague Dan for advice on the process he uses to set goals. Which of the following suggestions from Dan is wrong? He suggests that you
Answer:
prioritize goals according to their value to the organization
Explanation:
Goal setting is an action plan that is set to motivate someone towards achieving a goal. Individuals, organizations set goals as part of their personal development plans hence must be Specific, Measurable, Action oriented, Realistic and Timely(SMART).
With regards to the above scenario, prioritizing goals according to their value to the organization is wrong. While it is important to prioritize goals, such must however be made to align with the business's strategic objectives.
It is also important to stick to goals already set instead of constantly changing them. Sometimes too, customers put pressure on business owners to consider certain goals which might be beneficial; such should also be looked into after considering their pros and cons.
The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000
Answer:
$26000
Explanation:
from the question;
check per day; 20000
delay: 3 days
checks to pay suppliers; 17000
clearing time 2 days
we first calculate collection flaot:
collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days
= 20000 x 3
= 60000
now we have to calculate disbursements float:
average amount of check x days to clear
= 17000 x 2
= 34000
with these two values we can get the net float
= collection flaot - disbursements float
= 60000 - 34000
= $26000

These bonds make annual payments and mature 11 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 4.5 percent. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. If the inflation rate was 3.2 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
14.25%
Explanation:
For computing the total real return first we have to find out the present value and the required return which is shown below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 4.5%
NPER = 11 years
PMT = $1,000 × 6.6% = $66
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula the present value is $1,179.11
Now the required return is
= ($1,179.11 + $66) ÷ ($1,056) -1
= 17.91%
And finally,
total real return
= ($1.1791 ÷ 1.032) - 1
= 14.25%

As of November 29, it appears that Notel will report earnings per share (EPS) of $1.15 for the quarter ended November 30. Which of the following events would cause this EPS number to decrease, assuming the event occurs the morning of November 30?
A.
The company pays a supplier for inventory bought on account.
B.
The company declares, but does not pay, a cash dividend.
C.
The company purchases 10 shares of common stock in another company.
D.
The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.
Answer: D. The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.
Explanation:
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the weighted average number of shares that a company has outstanding. If the company reissues treasury stock, this would increase the number of average stock outstanding thereby increasing the denominator of the EPS equation which would have the effect of reducing the Earnings per share.
For instance, if a company had net income of $50 and common equity outstanding of $40, the EPS would be;
= 50/40
= $1.25
If the company reissues treasury stock of $30, the EPS would change to;
= 50/ (40 +30)
= $0.71
A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.

The US dollar depreciating means that it now takes more US dollars to buy Jamaican dollars. Todd will afford less Jamaican dollars when he goes to Jamaica.
B. An investment bank in Jamaica that is interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds. - Winner
The Investment bank will see that their domestic currency is stronger than it was therefore they can buy more US dollars. As a result it will be cheaper for the Investment bank to buy U.S. Government bonds.
C. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires in Jamaica. - Winners.
Goodyear will be winners because when they sell their tires in Jamaican dollars and then convert it to USD, they will.get more dollars from the transaction than before.
D. A family from Jamaica visiting relatives in the U.S. - Winners
As the Jamaican family will be able to buy more US dollars than before, they are winners.
E. A firm from Jamaica selling handbags in the U.S. - Losers.
As the firm sells in the US, they sell in US dollars. When they try to convert their sales to Jamaican dollars, they will get less than before.
F. U.S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is purchasing a high tech company in Jamaica. - Losers.
The depreciation of the US dollar means than HP will have to spend more dollars purchasing the company than before because the purchase price of the company will be stated in Jamaican dollars.
