Answer:

Price of bond $4,092.49

Explanation:

Computation the price of the bond

Using this formula

Price of bond=Par value*1/(1+YTM/2)^(2*time period)

Where,

Par value=$10,000

1/(1+YTM/2)=1/(1+0.043/2)

(2*time period)=(2*21 years)

Let plug in the formula

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1+0.043/2)^(2*21)

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1.0215)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*(0.97895252)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*0.4092497467

Price of bond=$4,092.49

Therefore the price of the bond will be $4,092.49

Answer:

the answer is going to be 3. R

Answer:

Project A = 0.87 years

Project B =  1 year

2 Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

For project A, the payback period is $20,000 / $23,000 = 0.87 years

For project B, the payback period is $20,000 / $20,000 = 1 year

Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Answer:

The required rate of return for the project will be 13.087%

Explanation:

To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,

r = rRf + Beta * rpM

Where,

r = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069

r = 0.11187 or 11.187%

The discount rate that is usually used for an all equity firm is its required rate of return. Thus, the required rate of return for the project will be,

r = 0.11187 +  0.019

r = 0.13087 or 13.087%

Answer:

Please see the journal entries for the two treasury stock transactions.

Explanation:

• Purchase of treasury stock

Treasury stock Dr $5,600

To Cash account Cr $5,600

(Being the purchase of treasury stock that is recorded)

For recording the above, treasury stock was debited because it increased the treasury while cash credited because it decreased the assets.

• Sale of treasury stock

Cash account Dr $4,070

To Treasury stock Cr $3,700

To paid in capital- treasury stock Cr $370

Explanation

° Purchase of treasury stock

Treasury stock

= 560 shares × $10 per share

= $5,600

° Sales of treasury stock

Cash receipt

= 370 shares × $11 per share

= $4,070

Treasury stock

= 370 shares × $10 per share

= $3,700

Paid in capital treasury stock

= 370 shares × ($11-$10)

= $370

Answer:

$4,400

Explanation:

Calculation for the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost

Using this formula

Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share

Let plug in the formula

Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000

Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0

Maximum possible gain=$4,400

Therefore the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost will be $4,400

Answer:

Value of stock = $41.75

Explanation:

The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.

value of dividend from year 1 to 3

Year                                                     Present Value  

1               2.28× 1.08^1 × 1.13^(1-) =           2.179

2             2.28× 1.08^2 × 1.13^(-2) =         2.083

3.              2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.13^(-3)=          1.991

Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond

This will be done in two steps

Step 1  :PV in year 3 terms  

= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.1-0.06)

2.28 × 1.08^3  × 1.07/(0.13-0.07)=  51.220

step 2 : PV in year 0 terms =

PV in year 3 × 1.1^(-3)

=51.220 × 1.13^(-3)= 35.498

Value of stock =  2.179  +2.083  +1.991 + 35.498 = 41.75

Value of stock = $41.75

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

For computing the annual interest rate we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below;

Given that,  

Present value = $25,000

Future value or Face value = $0

PMT = $1,212.17

NPER = 24 months

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula,

The annual interest rate is

= 1.25% × 12 months

= 15%

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:

A painter hired to paint your home.

Explanation:

Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.

For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.

Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.

Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.

In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.

Answer:

D. $945,000.

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue

I looked for the missing information:

year                    total sales                   cost of goods sold

2012                    $7,175                            $4,365

2013                    $8,052                           $5,140

2014                    $8,268                           $5,370

a)

gross profit ratio:

2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%

2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%

2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%

b)

since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%

estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion

estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

Answer: e. effort, performance, outcome valence

Explanation:

The expectancy theory analyses and explains the reason why people behave the way they do. The expectancy theory explains that individual behave the way they do because they believe their efforts which they put into a particular activity will bring about an outcome.

The first thing that comes first is the effort which one puts into an activity, after then is the performance and lastly the outcome.

Answer:

d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.

Explanation:

Option a is wrong because:

The initial investment is very high, therefore, the more firms competing will only increase the required investments and fixed costs associated with them, e.g. depreciation, maintenance. That is why the lowest average costs is generally achieved when only one firm serves this type of market.

Option b is wrong because:

A natural monopoly exists because it is extremely difficult for two or more competing firms to exist. Generally the required investment is very high, and the revenues are not large enough to allow two or more firms to compete.

Option c is wrong because:

Utilities require large initial investments, but once they are set up, the production costs are very small. I.e. the fixed costs are more relevant than the variable costs. Average production costs as decrease as the quantity produced increases.

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.

Answer: C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.

Explanation:

Full absorption costing accounts for all the costs involved in making a product including the indirect and the direct costs. That means both variable costs like direct materials and direct labor as well as fixed costs like rent, and insurance are included in the cost of the product.

Variable costing on the other hand expenses fixed manufacturing overhead separately. As a result, Full absorption has a higher cost of inventory than does Variable costing.

Answer: a) $18,605

Explanation:

The amount he can borrow today will be an amount that when grown at a rate of 7.5% per year will equal $20,000 in a year.

20,000 = Amount + ( Amount * rate * time)

20,000 = Amount + (7.5% * Amount)

2,000,000 = 1.075 * Amount

Amount = $18,605

Answer:

$30,511.30

Explanation:

The double declining method was used for two years

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 /25 = 0.08

Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.08 x $900,000 = $72,000

Book value =  $900,000 - $72,000 = $828,000

Depreciation expense in 2021 = 0.08 x $828,000 = $66,240

book value = $828,000 - $66,240 = $761,760

Straight line depreciation expense = (book value - Salvage value) / useful life

useful life = 25 - 2 = 23

book value = $761,760

salvage value = $60,000.

( $761,760  - $60,000. ) / 23 = $30,511.30

The depreciation expense for the remaining useful life of the asset would $30,511.30
