Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?

Answers

Answer:

$24.60

Explanation:

The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:

Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Dividend is

= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years

= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5

= $2.46

All the other items would remain the same

So, the price is

= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)

= $24.60

Horton Corporation is preparing a bank reconciliation and has identified the following potential reconciling items. Indicate how each would be reported on a bank reconciliation.a. Deposit in transit $5,500. b. Bank service charges $25. c. Interest credited to Horton’s account $31. d. Outstanding checks $7,422. e. NSF check returned $377.

Answers

Answer:

a. Deposit in transit $5,500.

This is added to the balance on the bank statement because it has already been added to the books of the company but it is yet to be processed by the bank.

b. Bank service charges $25.

Deducted from the book balance because the bank has already deducted this charge from the company's bank account so the company needs to do the same in its books.

c. Interest credited to Horton’s account $31.

Added to the book balance because this is interest earned on the account from the bank. The bank has therefore already added it to the company's bank account and so the company needs to add it to their books.

d. Outstanding checks $7,422.

Deducted from the balance on the bank statement because the company issued a check from their account but it has not be debited from the bank account yet but has been recorded in the books.

e. NSF check returned $377.

Deducted from the book balance.

Which of the following promises is subject to the "strict performance" standard? Assume that performance of the promise is not an express condition of the promisee's duty to perform. cousrse hero

Answers

Answer:

A promise to deliver a deed

Explanation:

The term, 'strict performance' is used to describe a contract between two parties. A contract is an agreement between two parties, and it is legally binding. When discharging contracts involving services, 'substantial performance' is required. For example, if I tell a painter to paint my house blue except for the kitchen and storeroom which should be painted white, and he does accordingly but failed in painting the kitchen white, he has performed substantially even though there was a minor breach. The consequences of which would be borne by him.

'Strict performance' is required in contracts where the terms are stated in express terms and the standards are very high. A 'deed' is such a contract because it is a document specifying the legal rights of a person or the ownership of a property. It requires the signatures of the two parties. Therefore, strict performance and adherence to the contractual deed are required.

1. What are Regional Trading Blocs (RTBs)? Explain the 4 types of RTBs, making sure that the difference(s) between them is/are clearly stated as we move from one level to another. Discuss three (3) each of the advantages and disadvantages of the European Union to a named member country.

Answers

Answer:

Trading blocks are groups of countries who form trade agreements between themselves. Trading blocks can include

Free trade areas – elimination of tariffs between economies in the trading block

Customs union – free trade area + a common external tariff with non-members

Economic union/Single market – Customs union + common rules and regulations.

Different types of trading blocks

free-trade-customs-union

Trading blocks have become increasingly influential for world trade.

They have advantages in enabling free trade between geographically close countries. This can lead to lower prices, increased export potential, higher growth, economies of scale and greater competition.

However, it can lead to compromise as countries pool economic sovereignty. Also, the move to free trade tends to create winners and losers – with some domestic industries losing out to lower-cost imports.

Examples of Global trading blocks

Free_Trade_Areas

Free trade areas

European Union – The most integrated trading block. The EU27 have free trade and common regulations and are part of a customs union.

NAFTA – North Atlantic Free Trade Association.  A free trade area between Canada, US and Mexico

ASEAN Free Trade Area Free trade area in South East Asia founded 1992. Includes: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.

SAFTA South Asia free trade area based around the Indian sub-continent. Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Mercosur – a southern American trading block formed in 1991. Includes full members of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With associate members including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador. Developed from free trade area to become customs union.

African Union 55 countries of the continent of Africa. Created to forge closer political and economic ties. It has aspirations to become a free trade area.

Difference between free trade area and customs union

A customs union has a common external tariff on imports. This means that it doesn’t matter which country the imports enter – because all countries have the same import tariff. This means there doesn’t need to be internal checking on ‘Rules of origin‘. For example, if imports from Africa enter Spain then if goods travel across the border from Spain to France, there is no need to check whether goods are paying the correct import tariff – because the import tariffs are all the same.

A disadvantage of joining a customs union is that a country is not able to pursue its own independent trade deals. However, since trade deals are complicated and take several years, there is an advantage to negotiating trade deals as part of a regional trade block – rather than separate individual countries.

Advantages of trading blocks

Tariff removal leads to trade creation – lower prices for consumers and greater opportunity for exporters.

Increased trade enables increased specialisation – which gives benefits of economies of scale (lower average costs from increased output)

gravity-theory

Catch-up effects. Countries joining a rich trading block can benefit from inward investment and increased trade opportunities. Countries in Eastern Europe have made considerable progress in catching up with average income levels in Western Europe.

Gravity theory of trade suggests that trade with countries in close proximity is the most important due to lower transport and similar cultural and economic ties.

Gives small countries a greater say in global trade agreements

Increased competition. The removal of tariffs creates greater choice for consumers. Therefore domestic firms have a greater incentive to cut costs to remain competitive.

Disadvantages of trading blocks

Joining a customs union may lead to increased import tariffs – which leads to trade diversion. For example, when the UK joined the EEC customs union, it required higher import tariffs on imports from former Commonwealth countries. This led to switch in demand towards higher-cost European countries and caused loss of business for Commonwealth countries

Increased interdependence on economic performance in other countries in trading block. If Eurozone goes into recession, it will affect all countries in the Eurozone. However, this is almost inevitable even if countries are not formally in a trading block due to a close relationship between trade cycles in different countries.

Rob and Lori purchased a home for $350,000 with an additional $5,000 in related purchase costs and then added a garage at a cost of $25,000. They sold the home for $450,000 and paid $28,000 in selling costs. How much was adjusted basis?

Answers

Answer: $380,000

Explanation:

To calculate the adjusted basis, we add the original cost, to the improvement cost and and then deduct depletion and depreciation cost.

From the scenario, since Rob and Lori purchased a home for $350,000 with an additional $5,000 in related purchase costs and then added a garage at a cost of $25,000 and then sold the home for $450,000 and paid $28,000 in selling costs.

The adjusted basis will be:

= $350,000 + $5,000 + $25,000

= $380,000

At an annual effective interest rate of 6.3%, an annuity immediate with 4N level annual payments of 1,000 has a present value of 14,113. Determine the fraction of the total present value represented by the first set of N payments and the third set of N payments combined.

Answers

Answer:

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) =  47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N) =  90.86% of the annuity's present value.

Explanation:

we must use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

14,113 = 1,000 x annuity factor

annuity factor = 14,113 / 1,000 = 14.133

we know that the interest rate is 6.3%, now using an annuity calculator we can determine that the total number of periods is 36. The exact factor is 14.11322, but we can round to 14.113

the first set would represent 36/4 = 9 years

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) = PV = 1,000 x 6.71376 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 9 periods) = 6,713.76. This corresponds to 6,713.76 / 14,113 = 47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N)  = PV = 1,000 x 12.82329 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 27 periods) = 12,823.29. This corresponds to 12,823.29 / 14,113 = 90.86% of the annuity's present value.

Delta Lighting has 30,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $15 a share. This stock was originally issued at $31 per share. The firm also has a bond issue outstanding with a total face value of $280,000 which is currently selling for 82 percent of par. The cost of equity is 14 percent while the after-tax cost of debt is 6.8 percent. The firm has a beta of 1.48 and a tax rate of 30 percent. What is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 11.57 % .

Explanation:

Market Value of Equity = Number of Common Shares Outstanding × Market Price per share

                                      = 30,000 shares × $15

                                      = $450,000

Market Value of Debt = Face Value × 82%

                                    = $280,000 × 82%

                                    = $229,600

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (E/V)

           = 14.00 % × ($450,000/ $679,600) + 6.80 %  × ($229,600/ $679,600)

           = 9.27 % + 2.30 %

           = 11.57 %

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $145,000 and a beta of 1.31. You have another $58,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.19. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this

Answers

Answer: 0.89

Explanation:

The total portfolio beta is a weighted average of the constituent security betas.

145,000 + 58,000 = $203,000

The total portfolio beta of 203,000 should have a beta of 1.19.

Proportion of New investment = 58,000/203,000

= 28.57%

Proportion of old portfolio = 145,000/203,000

= 71.43%

(0.7143 * 1.31) + (0.2857 * x) = 1.19

0.9357 + 0.2857x = 1.19

0.2857x = ‭0.2543‬

Concert Hall sells season tickets for six events at a price of $78. In pricing the tickets, the planners assigned the leadoff event a value of $23 because the program was an expensive symphony orchestra. The last five events were priced equally; 1,470 season tickets were sold for the 2013 season. Required: a. Calculate the theater's earned revenue after the first three events have been presented.

Answers

Answer: $66,150

Explanation:

The leadoff event is priced at $23 out of the $78 and the rest of the 5 events will be priced equally.

This means that after the first event, the other 5 will cumulatively be valued at;

= (78 - 23)/5

= $11

The other events are priced at $11 each.

For the first 3 events therefore;

First event = $23 and the other 2 events are $11 each;

= 23 + 11 + 11

= $45

Tickets sold are 1,470;

Lanning Company sells 160,000 units at $45 per unit. Variable costs are $27 per unit, and fixed costs are $975,000. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 160,000 units

Selling price= $45 per unit.

Variable costs are $27 per unit

Fixed costs are $975,000.

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio using the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price

contribution margin ratio= (45 - 27) / 45

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Now, we can calculate the contribution margin per unit:

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Contribution margin= 45 - 27

Contribution margin= 18

Finally, the net operating income:

Net income= units sold*contribution margin - fixed costs

Net income= 160,000*18 - 975,000

Net income= $1,905,000

Answers

Answer:

a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made.

Explanation:

Standard cost in business management refers to the amount of money a product is supposed to cost in manufacturing it. It is a management tool that can be used to measure efficiency in the level of output or production of goods and services at a specific period of time.

In Financial accounting, the difference between the actual cost of each unit of a product and its standard cost is referred to as variance. In order to determine the standard cost of a product, the expected quantity of the product is multiplied by an expected price.

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons such as;

1. Standard costs are used to estimate the cost of inventory.

2. Standard costs are used to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead.

3. Standard costs are used to control costs.

However, standard costs cannot be used to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made rather an actual cost should be used.

Future value (FV)= $83,000

Number of years (n)= 10 years

Interest rate (i)= 3% compounded annually

To calculate the initial deposit, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 83,000 / (1.03^10)

PV= $61,759.80

project that has an expected return of 25% and a standard deviation of 30%. What is the project's coefficient of variation

Answers

Answer: 1.2

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Variation tells the accuracy of the mean. If it is high then there is a large dispersion around the mean. A smaller figure indicates that the mean is more accurate/ precise.

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation / Expected Return

Coefficient of Variation = 30%/25%

Coefficient of Variation = 1.2

Assume that the firm is 40% financed by debt and 60% financed by equity. Its cost of debt is 8% and the cost of equity is 15%. The tax rate is 40%. What is the firm’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

10.92%

Explanation:

A firm is 40% financed by debt

= 40/100

= 0.40

The firm is also 60% financed by equity

= 60/100

= 0.60

Its cost of debt is 8%

=8/100

=0.08

Cost of equity is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

Tax rate is 40%

= 40/100

= 0.40

Therefore, the firm's WACC can be calculated as follows

WACC= 0.40×0.08×(1-0.40) + 0.60×0.15

= 0.032×0.6 + 0.09

= 0.0192 + 0.09

= 0.1092×100

= 10.92%

Hence the firm's WACC is 10.92%
