For the coming year, Belton Company estimates fixed costs of $60,000, the unit variable cost of $25, and the unit selling price of $50.

a. Determine the break-even point in units of sales.

b. Determine the unit sales required to realize operating income of $100,000.

c. Determine the probable operating income if sales total $400,000.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Break even point in units = 2,400 units

2. Sales required = 6,400 units

3. Operating income = $140,000

Explanation:

Given:

Fixed costs = $60,000

Variable cost =$25 per unit

Selling price = $50 per unit

Computation:

1. Break-even point in units of sales.

Contribution per unit = sales - VC

Contribution per unit = $50 - $25

Contribution per unit = $25

Break even point in units = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit

Break even point in units = $60,000 / $25

Break even point in units = 2400 units

2. Unit sales required to realize operating income = $100,000

Sales required = (Fixed costs + Operating income) / Contribution per unit

Sales required = ($60,000 + $100,000) / $25

Sales required = 6400 units

3. Operating income if sales total = $400,000

Contribution margin = [$25/ $50]100 = 50%

Operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed costs

Operating income = ($400,000 × 50%) - $60,000

Operating income = $140,000

Answers

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 market

r = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069

r = 0.07649 or 7.649%

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.

Answers

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

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%

Answers

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

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Closed Shop.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Closed Shop" refers to a type of practice well known as "pre-entry closed shop" too that unions favored with the only purpose to obligate the companies to contract workers who are already members of the union itself so in that situation both the company and the union tend to have an agreement of maintaining certain salary price for the workers so they are not in a continous fight. Moreover, this practice allow the workers to be employed by the company only if they are members of the union and as long as they are members of it.

As a firm grows, it must support increases in revenue with new investments in assets. The self-supporting, or sustainable, growth model helps a firm assess how rapidly it can grow, while maintaining a balance between its cash outflows (increases in noncash assets) and inflows (funds resulting from increases in liabilities or equity). Consider the following case of Bohemian Manufacturing Company: Bohemian Manufacturing Company has no debt in its capital structure and has $300,000,000 in assets. Its sales revenues last year were $120,000,000 with a net income of $2,000,000. The company distributed $180,000 as dividends to its shareholders last year. Given the information above, what is Bohemian Manufacturing Company’s sustainable growth rate? 0.0601562% 0.5181384% 0.61% 4.1464268% Which of the following are assumptions of the sustainable (self-supporting) growth model? Check all that apply. The firm maintains a constant net profit margin. The firm’s liabilities and equity must increase at the same rate. The firm pays no dividends. The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.

Answers

Answer:

Sustainable growth rate =  0.67148%

The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate = ROE *Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)

When ROE = Net Income / Total Assets

= $2,000,000/$300,000,000

= 0.00667

Plow back Ratio = 1 - (Dividend / Net Income)

= 1 - ($180,000/$2,000,000)

= 1 - 0.09

=0.91

Sustainable growth rate = ROE * Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)

= 0.00667 * 0.91 / (1 - 0.00667  * 0.91)

= 0.0060697 / 0.9039303

=0.0067148

= 0.67148%

Therefore, the sustainable growth rate is 0.67148%

The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity is the correct assumption for the sustainable growth model.

Answers

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

Answers

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

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

Answers

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.

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.)

Answers

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

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)

Answers

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

Sell Inc.'s stock has a 25 percent chance of producing a 30% return, a 50 percent chance of producing a12% return, and a 25 percent chance of producing a 5% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.

The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

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:

comparing the value of the services to the spouse's wage rate, measuring the marginal value of the services by the homemaker's wage rate received in a part-time job and also measuring the value of the services by looking at the homemaker's opportunity costs.

Therefore, the option that measuring the services in terms of current market prices is not estimated.

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

Answers

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.

Explanation:

Preparation of differential analysis for Rocket Shoe Company

DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS

Cross Trainer Shoes Running Shoe

Differential Revenue 984,000 900,000

Differential costs:

Direct Material (192,000) (200,000)

Direct labor (72,000) (60,000)

Variable factory overhead (48,000) (60,000)

Variable selling expense (312,000) (240,000)

Differential cost (624,000) (560,000)

Contribution Margin from proposal 360,000 340,000

Differential Revenue

Cross Trainer Shoes(41*24,000)=$984,000

Running Shoe(45*20,000) =$900,000

Differential costs:

Direct Material

Cross Trainer Shoes (8*24,000)=192,000

Running Shoe(10*20,000)=200,000

Direct labor

Cross Trainer Shoes (3*24,000)=72,000

Running Shoe(3*20,000)=60,000

Variable factory overhead

Cross Trainer Shoes (2*24,000)=48,000

Running Shoe(3*20,000)=60,000

Variable selling expense

Cross Trainer Shoes (13*24,000)=312,000

Running Shoe(12*20,000)=240,000

Differential cost is the addition of direct materials +direct labor + Variable factory overhead+Variable selling expense

Contribution Margin from proposal

Cross Trainer Shoes 984,000-624,000=360,000

Running Shoe 900,000-560,000=340,000

Since Cross trainer shoes had $360,000 this means that cross trainer shoes would contribute more than Running shoe which had $340,000 because Cross trainer shoes contribution margin is higher.

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:

Answers

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.

You own a stock portfolio invested 34 percent in Stock Q, 18 percent in Stock R, 36 percent in Stock S, and 12 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are 1.03, 1.09, 1.49, and 1.94, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in portfolio

Portfolio beta = 0.34 * 1.03  +  0.18 * 1.09  +  0.36 * 1.49  +  0.12 * 1.94

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

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

Answers

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
