Answer: 4.2%
Explanation:
Bonds are debt instruments which means that the interest paid on bonds is tax deductible. After the tax is deducted, the after tax yield shows the actual yield being paid on the bond given the tax rate.
The after tax yield on a bond is calculated by the formula:
= Before tax yield * ( 1 - Tax rate)
= 7% * ( 1 - 40%)
= 4.2%
Suppose that the turkey industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 400 million pounds per year. Suppose that WebMD claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 2 years. WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand _____________turkey at every price.
Answer:
The "WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand ______more_______turkey at every price."
Explanation:
Consumers will tend to demand more turkey in order to increase their expected lifespan by 2 years by consuming more of the protein found in turkey as claimed by WebMD. This implies that there will a new equilibrium as the old equilibrium shifts outward to match the increased demand by consumers of turkey. This claim may trigger demand and supply to exceed the annual 400 million pounds equilibrium at $5 per pound.

Monopoly in the competitive environment a. is enjoyed by few organizations as sole suppliers of a good or service. b. is typical of public utilities -- even more so now than twenty years ago. c. cannot be achieved temporarily even through the use of patents and similar legal devices. d. is the logical extension of a firm's control of its production and labor resources. e. is, all in all, the most common type of competition in the U.S. market.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.
In a monopoly When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.

Your broker suggests that the stock of DUH is a good purchase at $25. You do an analysis of the firm, determining that the recent $1.40 dividend and earnings should continue to grow indefinitely at 5 percent annually. The firm's beta coefficient is 1.3, and the yield on Treasury bills is 1.4 percent. If you expect the market to earn a return of 8 percent, what is your valuation of DUH
Answer:
The correct answer is "$28.03".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Good purchase,
= $25
Dividend,
= $1.40
Annually earning,
= 5%
Beta coefficient,
= 1.3
Treasury bills,
= 1.4%
Now,
= [tex]1.4+1.34\times 8-1.4[/tex]
= [tex]1.34\times 8[/tex]
= [tex]10.244[/tex] (%)
hence,
The fair value will be:
= [tex]1.4\times \frac{1.05}{.10244}-.05[/tex]
= [tex]28.03[/tex]
Absolutely, the proposal including its brokerage must be adopted because as fair market value was almost $25.

Gilmore, Inc., had equity of $135,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $290,000. During the year, the company sold no new equity. Net income for the year was $29,000 and dividends were $3,400. a. What is the sustainable growth rate for the company
Answer:
A. 18.96%
B. 18.96%
C. 15.94%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate for the company
First step is to calculate the Ending equity
Ending equity = 135,000 + 29,000 -3,400
Ending equity=$160,600.
Second step is to calculate the return on equity
Return on equity =29,000/160,600
Return on equity=0.18057285
Third step is to calculate the retention ratio
Retention ratio =(Net income- dividends) / Net income
Retention ratio= (29,000-3400) / 29,000
Retention ratio=25,600 /29,000
Retention ratio=0.88275862.
Now let calculate the Sustainable growth rate using this formula
Sustainable growth rate = (Return on equity *Retention ratio) / [1-(Return on equity*retention ratio)]
Let plug in the formula
Sustainable growth rate=(0.18057285*0.88275862)/ [1-(0.18057285*0.88275862)]
Sustainable growth rate=0.15940224/ [1-0.15940224]
Sustainable growth rate=0.1896*100
Sustainable growth rate=18.96%.
b. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
First step is to calculate the return on equity using beginning of the period equity
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=$29,000 /135,000
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=0.21481481.
Now let calculate the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
roe * b = 0.21481481*0.88275862
ROE band=0.1896*100
ROE band=18.96%.
c.return on equity using ending of period equity = 29,000/160,600
=>0.18057285
roe*b=>0.18057285*0.88275862
=>0.1594
=>15.94%.

b. Business loans would cost less for the U.S. car manufacturers.
c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.
Answer: c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.
Explanation:
When there is modest inflation, companies in the car manufacturing industry can simply decide not to increase nominal wages. This would lead to a fall in real wages as inflation would ensure that the nominal wages are less than they were worth before.
This decrease in real wages will allow the companies in the industry to reduce labor costs in real terms and become more competitive with the foreign manufacturers.

The net income reported on the income statement of Cutler Co. was $2,460,000. There were 50,000 shares of $18 par common stock and 20,000 shares of $5 preferred stock outstanding throughout the current year. The income statement included a gain on discontinued operations of $300,000 after applicable income tax.
a. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for income before discontinued operations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
b. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for net income. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The earning per share is
= (PAT - income tax discontinued operations - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - $300,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $41.2 per share
b. The earning per share is
= (PAT - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $47.2 per share
s). Marty has been offered an injury settlement of $15 comma 000 payable in 5 years. He wants to know what the present value of the injury settlement is if his opportunity cost is 3.5 %. (The opportunity cost is the interest rate in this problem.) What if the opportunity cost is 7.5 %? What if it is 11.5 %?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the present value in each situation is as follows:
As we know that
Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
When the rate is 3.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 3.5%)^5
= $12,630
When the rate is 7.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 7.5%)^5
= $10,448.38
And, When the rate is 11.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 11.5%)^5
= $8,703.96

Calculation to determine the optimal pricing strategy that will maximize revenue for the manufacturer
Using this formula
Optimal pricing=Retail #2 Product W+ Retail #2 Product S
Let plug in the formula
Optimal pricing=$95+$135
Optimal pricing=$230
Therefore based on the above calculation the OPTIMAL PRICING STRATEGY that will MAXIMIZE REVENUE for the manufacturer, given the MAXIMUM the retail outlets are willing to pay will be to BUNDLE BOTH PRODUCTS (W and S) AND SELL THEM AT $230.
Workman Software has 11 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 108.3 percent of par. a. What is the current yield on the bonds
Answer:
10.16%
Explanation:
Coupon amount = 11% * 1000
Coupon amount = $110
Price of bond = 1000*108.3%
Price of bond = $1,083
Current yield = Coupon amount / Price of bond
Current yield = $110 / $1,083
Current yield = 0.1015697
Current yield = 10.16%
So, the current yield on the bonds is 10.16%.
IPS Corp. will upgrade its package-labeling machinery. It costs $850,000 to buy the machinery and have it installed. Operation and maintenance costs, which are $11,000 per year for the first 3 years, increase by $1000 per year for the machine's 10-year life. The machinery has a salvage value of 12% of its initial cost. Interest is 25%. What is the future worth of cost of the machinery
Answer:
The future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.
Explanation:
The value of an amount of money at a particular interest rate at some point in the future is referred to as future worth.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the future worth of cost of the machinery.
In the attached excel file, the discounting factor for each year is calculated as follows:
Discounting Factor = (100% + Interest)^Remaining years ………………. (1)
Where:
Interest = 25%
Remaining years = 10 – Number of current year
In the attached excel file, we have:
Total future worth = (8,227,391.25) = –$8,227,391.25
Therefore, the future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.
The price of crude oil rose to over $100 per barrel in early 2013. What would we expect to see happen to the supply of plastic, which is produced using crude oil
Answer: The supply of plastic will decrease.
Explanation:
Supply simply means the amount of goods and services that a seller is willing to sell at a particular price and a given time period.
It should be noted that one determinant of supply is cost of raw material. Since there's an increase in the price of crude oil which is used in making plastic, there'll be a reduction in the number of plastic that can be produced, therefore, the supply of plastic will reduce.
Everything else equal, if the United States runs a large foreign trade deficit, the financing of the deficit will: a. increase government subsidies. b. increase interest rates. c. decrease sales of Treasury securities. d. increase the money supply. e. decrease tax revenue.
Answer: decrease tax revenue
Explanation:
A trade deficit occurs when the import of a country's is more than the export of the country for a given period of time period. The main cause is when there's an imbalance between the savings of a country and the investment rates.
In this case, financing the deficit will lead to the reduction in the tax revenue. When part of the tax revenue gotten from economic agents are used in the finance of the deficit, there'll be a reduction in the tax revenue.
Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Liabilities of $102.335 million Cash of $8.040 million Total Assets of $165.097 million Retained Earnings of $35.132 million. What was the Digby Corporation's common stock
Answer:
$27.63 million
Explanation:
Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Common stock = Total equity - Retained earnings
Common stock = (Total assets - Total liabilities) - Retained earnings
Common stock = ($165.097 million - $102.335 million) - $35.132 million
Common stock = $62.762 million - $35.132 million
Common stock = $27.63 million
Kawamura, a careful utility maximizer, consumes peanut butter and ice cream. Assume that both peanut butter and ice cream are normal goods and that diminishing marginal utility applies to both goods. Right after he achieves the utility-maximizing level of consumption of the two goods, the price of peanut butter falls. After he adjusts to this event, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes _____ and that of ice cream goes _____.
Answer:
The marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up.
Explanation:
The substitution effect states that when the price of a product falls, it will lead to a rise in the quantity demanded of the product as buyers will buy more of the product that is now relatively cheaper.
And as more of a good is bought, its marginal utility falls. And as less of a product is bought, its marginal utility increases.
Based on the above explanation therefore, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up after Kawamura adjusts to the event.
This is because as more of peanut butter is bought due to the fall in its price, its marginal utility falls. And as less of ice cream is bought as it is now relatively more expensive, its marginal utility increases.
