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:
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.

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
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
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 5.70 percent
Answer:
Current market value =$40.6
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4
Year Present Value
1 2 × (1.2) ×(1.057)^(-1) = 2.27
2 2 × (1.2)^2×(1.057)^(-2)= 2.58
3 2 × (1.2)^3×(1.057)^(-3) = 2.93
4 2 × (1.2)^4×(1.057)^(-4) = 3.32
Total PV = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4 = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond
This will be done in two steps:
Step 1: PV (in year 4 terms) of dividends
( 2 × (1.2)^4× (1-0.05) )/(0.057--(0.05)) = 36.82
Step 2 : PV( in year 0 terms) of dividends
=PV in (year 4 terms)× (1+r)^-4
=36.82 × 1.057^(-4) = 29.50
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond =29.50
Current market value = Total PV of dividend = 11.10 + 29.50 = $40.6
Current market value =$40.6
It will cost $3,000 to acquire a small ice cream cart. Cart sales are expected to be $1,400 a year for three years. After the three years, the cart is expected to be worthless as that is the expected remaining life of the cooling system. What is the payback period of the ice cream cart?
Answer:
2.14 years
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Unable to borrow from other banks, University Bank is forced to turn to the Federal Reserve for needed funds. The interest rate that the Federal Reserve will charge University Bank is called the
Answer:
Discount rate
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate of interest i.e. charged by the Fed for extending the loan to the commercial bank
In order to apply the expansionary monetary policy, Fed redcued the discount rate and apply the contractionary monetary policy so that the Fed could raise the interest rate
Therefore in the given case, the charge we called as a discount rate
A ________ externality exists when the number of customers who purchase a good or use it influences the quantity demanded.
Answer: network
Explanation:
Network externality simply states that demand for a good or service has to do with how other people demand for that particular good or service. It means consumer's buying patterns are influenced by the purchase of others buying the product.
Therefore, a network externality exists when the number of customers who purchase a good or use it influences the quantity demanded.
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.
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

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?
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 marketr = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069
r = 0.07649 or 7.649%
Answer the following questions. 1. A company has an inventory of 1,200 assorted parts for a line of missiles that has been discontinued. The inventory cost is $71,000. The parts can be either (a) remachined at total additional costs of $24,000 and then sold for $32,000 or (b) sold as scrap for $5,000. Which action is more profitable? Show your calculations. 2. A truck, costing $104,000 and uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either (a) disposed of for $15,500 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or (b) rebuilt for $85,500, and thus be brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less costly? Show your calculations.
Answer:
1) the $71,000 is considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered.
option A yields $32,000 - $24,000 = $8,000 (this is more profitable)
option B yields $5,000
2) the $104,000 is also considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered
option A results in $105,500 - $15,500 = $90,000 in costs
option B costs $85,500 (this option is less costly)
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
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.
Keywords: rectus diastasis, treatment options, physiotherapy, surgery, abdominoplasty, laparoscopy, robot assisted surgery
To judge whether a particular diversification move has good potential for building added shareholder value, the move should pass the following tests:___________.
A) the attractiveness test, the barrier-to-entry test, and the growth test.
B) the strategic fit test, the resource fit test, and the profitability test.
C) the barrier-to-entry test, the growth test, and the shareholder value test.
D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.
E) the resource fit test, the strategic fit test, the profitability test, and the shareholder value test.
Answer:
D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.
Explanation:
To judge a diversification change, an organization needs to pass the attractiveness tests, the entry cost test and the best situation test.
These tests will be decisive to analyze the potential that diversification will have to create added value for the shareholder.
The attractiveness test will list the ability that the market has to ensure that there is a safe return on investments.
The cost-of-entry will aim to ensure that when entering a new sector, the organization does not have higher costs that can influence the generation of profitability.
Finally, the better-off test will analyze whether the planned diversification will be so profitable that it will help to improve the performance of the integration of organizational businesses.

A share of stock is now selling for $120. It will pay a dividend of $10 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 18%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.
The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)
r = 0.18 or 18%
Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends
Plugging in the available variables, g is,
120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)
120* (0.18 - g) = 10
21.6 - 120g = 10
g = (10 - 21.6) / -120
g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%
So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.
P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
A company budgeted unit sales of 274000 units for January, 2017 and 310000 units for February 2017. The company has a policy of having an inventory of units on hand at the end of each month equal to 30% of next month's budgeted unit sales. If there were 82200 units of inventory on hand on December 31, 2016, how many units should be produced in January, 2017 in order for the company to meet its goals
Answer:
Calculation of the Ending inventory required to be maintained
Particulars Amount
Next months budgeted sales 310,000
% of unit required to be maintained 30%
at the end of current month
Number of units required to be 93,000
maintained at the end of the
current month
Unit to be produced = Budgeted sales for the month + Ending inventory + Beginning inventory
Unit to be produced = 274,000 + 93,000 + 82,200
Unit to be produced = 449,200
Thus, the number of units to be produced in the month of January 2013 are 449,200 units.
Firms that compete in the global marketplace typically face two types of competitive pressures, namely, the pressures for _______ and _______.
a. global integration; local responsiveness
b. politically sensitivity; market leadership
c. cost reductions; marginal costs
d. price reductions; cost reductions
Answer:
a. global integration; local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A competitive pressure in business management can be defined as the degree of competition faced by a firm which involves the process of seeking to have a significant share of the available customers and market in a specific industry.
Firms that compete in the global marketplace typically face two types of competitive pressures, namely, the pressures for global integration and local responsiveness.
A global integration can be defined as the degree to which a particular firm can make use of the available resources, products and methods in another country.
On the other hand, local responsiveness can be defined as the extent to which a particular firm must customize or tailor its products and methods of production in order to meet conditions in another country.
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%
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

What's the future value of an investment of $1 a year for each of 4 years, at the end of the last year? Suppose the interest rate is 8%.
Answer:
4.51
Explanation:
We have to calculate fva. The future value of annuity
Here is the formula
Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]
Where a = annuity
I = interest rate
N = number of years
Inserting into formula
1[(1+0.08)^4 - 1/0.08]
= 1[(1.36049 - 1)/0.08]
= 4.51
Therefore the future investment is $4.51

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
On January 1, 2017, Crane Company decided to begin accumulating a fund for asset replacement five years later. The company plans to make five annual deposits of $64000 at 10% each January 1 beginning in 2017. What will be the balance in the fund, on January 1, 2022 (one year after the last deposit)
Answer:
Balance in the account on January 1, 2022 =$820,525.44
Explanation:
Ordinary annuity is that in which the annual cash flow occurs at the end of each year for certain number of years.
Where the cash flow occurs at the beginning of the period, it is known as annuity due. The deposit scheme decided by Crane Company is annuity due, so we would need to work out the future value of an annuity due as follows:
Future Value of Annuity Due (FVAD): This represents the total sum that would accrue where the annual cash flow( each occurring at the beginning of the year) is compounded at a particular rate. It can be determined as
FV = A×( (1+r)^n - 1)/r)× (1+r)
This is the same formula as the ordinary annuity but with an additional provision for the the first cash flow to earn interest. This is effected by multiplying the ordinary annuity formula with (1+r)
Now, we can apply this formula to our question:
DATA
A-cash flow- 64,000
r- discount rate-10%
n-number of years- 5
FV = 64,000 × ( 1.1^5 - 1)/0.05 × 1.05 = 820,525.44
FV = 820,525.44
Balance in the account on January 1, 2022 =820,525.44

suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style.
Explanation:
Fiedler is of the view that a person's leadership style is a product of experiences throughout their lifetime. So it is difficult to change it.

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
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.

Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares. Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998. The corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998.
How much of the loss is allocated to Joe?
A. $20,000
B. $15,060
C. $12,500
D. $10,000
Answer: $15,060
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.
We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:
= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B
Which of these conditions helped establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States
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.
