A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %
Akram owns a small farm. He employs 80 workers in the field and has recently hired a manager to help him manage the farm. The income of the business varies greatly during the year. The farm makes a small profit but Akram is ambitious. He wants to take over a neighbour’s farm and increase the range of crops he sells. He thinks that he needs long-term finance and plans to take out bank loan to pay for the takeover. He has already borrowed money to buy a new tractor. A friend has advised him to form a company and sell shares
Question Completion:
Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low
Answer:
Akram's Farm
Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:
1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit. The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers. But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.
2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the Accounts Receivable. Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts. The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.
Explanation:
Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company. The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.
Beta is Question 10 options: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market b) Relates the risk-return trade-offs of individual assets to the market returns c) The computed cost of capital determined by multiplying the cost of each item in the optimal capital structure by its weighted presentation in the overall capital structure and summing up the results d) The cost of the last dollar of funds raised
Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market
Explanation:
Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.
It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.
Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.

A company with a WACC of 8.5% is considering two possible investments. Project A will return 10% and be financed using equity costing 9.5%. Project B will return 8% and be financed using debt costing 6%. Which project should the company undertake
Answer:
The Company should undertake project A.
Explanation:
The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using various sources of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.
A company will always accept projects that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and reject any project offering a return below the WACC.
Conclusion :
The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.

You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent interest on your investments, which is the better deal?
Answer:
The deal to receive $30000 is better.
Explanation:
To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.
The given time period (n )= 2
Interest rate (r ) = 8%
The amount received after 2 years = $30000
[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]
Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.
Disturbed Corp. needs to raise $57 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $23.70 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?
Answer: 2653438 shares
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
The share price will be:
= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)
= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)
= $23.70 × 0.925
= $21.9225
The money that will be raised will be:
= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000
= $58,170,000
The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:
= $58,170,000/$21.9225
= 2653438 shares

hich of the following is NOT one of the ways companies are using mobile apps? Group of answer choices track behavior across tablets and mobile devices utilize cookies to track mobile activity utilize GPS data to provide location-based offers track loyalty program participation add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives
Answer: Add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives
Explanation:
In this age of technology, companies have found that being able to offer their customers relevant products can be greatly helped by gathering information about them and offering it to them directly on their phones. A great way to do so is through the use of mobile apps.
With mobile apps a company can track behavior on the device as well as track mobile activity. They could even use the GPS capabilities of the phone through the app to offer relevant location based content.
However, as much as companies would like their customers to have enjoyable lives, this is not an aim with mobile apps. The apps are there to boost the companies sales not to add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives unless of course, that is the company's main business.

Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.
A service company has which of the following costs
a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Answer:
b. Overhead Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Explanation:
-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.
-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.
-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.
-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.
According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.
On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.
Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000
Explanation:
Net Income $1,250,000
To Preferred Shareholders $175,000
Net income available to $1,075,000
common stockholders
Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock
Basic earnings per share = $1,075,000 / 380,000
Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.
Hotel Cortez is an all-equity firm that has 10,900 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $37 per share. The firm's management has decided to issue $66,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 8 percent. What is the break-even EBIT
Answer:
$32,264.07
Explanation:
The computation of the Break-even EBIT is shown below:
(EBIT ÷ Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $66,000 × 0.08) ÷ (10,900 - (66,000 ÷ $37))
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (10,900 - 1,783.78)
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (9116.22)
After solving this, the value of break-even EBIT is $32,264.07
One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year
Answer:
Dividend = $2.34
Explanation:
Purchase Price = $55.20
Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28
Capital Loss = $12.62
Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Net sales$688,500 $450,000 Cost of goods sold 337,364 133,200 Determine the 2016 and 2017 trend percents for net sales using 2016 as the base year.
Answer:
Trend- % change in sales = 34.64%
Explanation:
Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.
To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below
% Change in variable =
(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100
DATA
Current year figure for sales (2017) - 450,000
Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500
% change in sales = (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%
% change in sales = 34.64%
This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016
When Production decreases what is a very likely possibility? a hire new workers b expand production c purchase new equipment d downsizing
The correct answer is D. Downsizing
Explanation:
In businesses, the term "downsizing" is used to describe a reduction in the number of workers or the total labor force. This often means non-essential workers are fired or even complete departments are eliminated. Moreover, this is likely to occur if the business expenses are higher than its profits or if the production decreases because in both situations fewer workers are needed to eliminate unnecessary expenses. In this context, if production decreases it is likely downsizing occurs.
If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?
Answer:
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Explanation:
Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?
Answer:
24.82%
Explanation:
Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations
Let x = the stock return for year 5
12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5
Multiply both sides by 5
63.55% = (5.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x)
63.55% = 38.73% + x
x = 63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%

Complete Question:
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?
Answer:
7.96%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the formula:
WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100% +
After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100% +
Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%
Here,
Cost of equity is 17%
Cost of preferred stock is 11%
Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost * (1 - Tax rate)
This implies,
Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) = 5.4%
Equity weight is 10% weight in equity
Preferred stock weight is 25%
Debt Weight is 65%
By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:
WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%) + 11% * (25% / 100%) + 5.4% * (65% / 100%)
WACC = 1.7% + 2.75% + 3.51%
WACC = 7.96%
