Answer:
Price of bond = $770.60
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Heather Smith can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40
Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 ×10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06) = 458.796
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20) = 311.80
Step 3 :Price of bond
= 458.796 + 311.80 = 770.60
Price of bond = $770.60
If interest rates rise, which of the following U.S. Government debt instruments would show the greatest percentage drop in value?
a. treasury bills.
b. treasury notes.
c. treasury bonds.
d. savings bonds.
Answer: treasury bonds
Explanation:
The treasury bonds are typically debt securities for the government that have a long maturity period e.g ten years ane above.
If interest rates rise, the U.S. Government debt instruments that would show the greatest percentage drop in value is the treasury bonds because of its longer maturity period.
Compromising is most likely the best approach to conflict management when opponents with equal power are committed to mutually exclusive goals.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
true
Explanation:
when two opponents with equal power are committed to mutually exclusive goals then they have to reach a compromise.in a compromise, either of these two parties having a conflict would be willing to give up something to reach an agreement. The needs of both sides would be balanced, as both sides would have to make sacrifices. This makes it a lose-lose approach to conflict resolution for either parties involved. A compromise has to be reached for important goals to be achieved.
"customer's long margin account shows the following: Market Value: $100,000 Debit Balance: $60,000 SMA: $5,000 If the customer wishes to eliminate the restriction in the account, he can do which of the following? I Deposit $10,000 of fully paid marginable securities II Deposit $20,000 of fully paid marginable securities III Deposit $5,000 of cash IV Deposit $10,000 of cash"
Answer:
I Deposit $10,000 of fully paid marginable securities
II Deposit $20,000 of fully paid marginable securities
Explanation:
Marginable securities refers to stock, bonds and other securities which are capable to be traded on margin. These facilities are marketed by financial institution and brokerage. SMA cannot be used to pay a loan, when SMA is withdrawn it increases the loan balance which in turn increases restrictions.
Internal service funds are most commonly reported in which section of the Government-wide financial statements?
a. governmental activities.
b. business type activities.
c. both A & B.
d. neither of the above.
Answer: a. Governmental activities
Explanation:
Internal Service funds in Government record entries that are related to the provision of goods and services from one government department to another on a cost reimbursement basis. The fund therefore shows the cost of providing some goods and services.
In Government-wide financial statements, it is therefore recorded under Governmental activities as it has to do with internal Government departments.
AAA Manufacturing Inc, makes a product with the following costs per unit: Direct materials $150 Direct labor $90 Manufacturing overhead (variable) $60 Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $120 Marketing costs $85 What would be the inventoriable cost per unit under variable costing and what would it be under absorption costing?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $150
Direct labor $90
Manufacturing overhead (variable) $60
Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $120
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing:
Unitary production cost= 150 + 90 + 60= $300
Absorption costing:
Unitary production cost= 300 + 120= $420
A company purchased an asset for $3,200,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project
Answer:
$237,120
Explanation:
year depreciation % depreciation expense book value
1 33.33% $1,066,560 $2,133,440
2 44.45% $1,422,400 $711,040
3 14.81% $473,920 $237,120
the book value at the end of the project's life = $237,120, which is equivalent to 7.41% (the fourth year according to MACRS depreciation)
You have been hired by the CFO of Lugones Industries to help estimate its cost of common equity. You have obtained the following data: (1) r d = yield on the firm's bonds = 7.00% and the risk premium over its own debt cost = 4.00%. (2) r RF = 5.00%, RP M = 6.00%, and b = 1.25. (3) D 1 = $1.20, P 0 = $35.00, and g = 8.00% (constant). You were asked to estimate the cost of common based on the three most commonly used methods and then to indicate the difference between the highest and lowest of these estimates. What is that difference?
Answer:
Under CAPM:
Re = Rf + Beta(Rm - Rf)
Rf = 5%
Rm - Rf = 6%
Beta = 1.25
Re = 5% + (1.25 x 6%) = 12.5%
Under dividend discount model:
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Div₁ = $1.20
P₀ = $35
g = 8%
Re = ($1.20 / $35) + 8% = 11.43%
Under bond yield plus risk premium approach:
Re = Pre-tax cost of debt + risk premium over its own debt
Pre-tax cost of debt = 7%
risk premium over its own debt = 4%
Re = 7% + 4% = 11%
The highest cost of equity results from the CAPM model and it is 12.5% while the lowest results from using the bond yield plus risk approach (11%), the difference is 1.5% between them.
If own price elasticity of demand for your market is -1.2, and your marginal cost is flat at 10, what is the optimal price for your monopoly firm
Answer: $60
Explanation:
The optimal price for a monopoly firm is expressed by;
Price = Marginal Cost * ( Own Price Elasticity/ (1 + Own Price Elasticity))
Price = 10 * ( -1.2 /( 1 - 1.2)
Price = 10 * (-1.2/-0.2)
Price = 10 * 6
Price = $60
g If the risk-free rate is 5%, return on the market is 8%, and beta is 0.5, a stock with a return of 7% is likely: Group of answer choices Correctly valued Undervalued None of the options Overvalued
Answer:
The stock is undervalued. As the required rate of return (6.5%) on market is less than the actual return (7%), the stock is said to be undervalued as it provides an actual return greater than the required rate of return.
Explanation:
To check if a stock is over valued, undervalued or correctly valued, we simply compare the required rate of return on a stock as measured by CAPM with the actual return on the stock.
We can calculate the required rate of return using CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRf + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRf is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.05 + 0.5 * (0.08 - 0.05)
r = 0.065 or 6.5%
As the required rate of return on market is less than the actual return, the stock is said to be undervalued as it provides an actual return greater than the required rate of return.
Answer:
Undervalued
Explanation:
to determine if the stock is overvalued or undervalued, we have to determine the expected rate of return using the CAPM and compare it with the return of the stock
Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
5% + 0.5(8% - 5%) = 6.5%
the stock is undervalued because 6.5% is less than 7%
If an investor put away $3000 at age 23 rather than age 31, how much more money would he or she have at age 63, assuming a 9 percent compound rate of return?
Answer:
FV= $94,228.26
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present Value= $3,000
Interest rate= 9% compounded annually
Number of years= 63 - 23= 40 years
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 3,000*(1.09^40)
FV= $94,228.26
if average daily demand for an item is 15 units safety stock is 55 units and lead time is three days the rop will be
Answer:ROP= Reorder Point = 100
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the level of inventory which causes that the stock of a business is replenished. When a stock is being utilized and reaches a set amount by a firm, it holds that such item be reordered or replenished.
ROP= Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage x Average Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock
=(15 x 3) + 55 = 100
This means that when the inventory level of stock falls to 100, the commodity or item should be reordered.
If there were 40000 pounds of raw materials on hand on January 1, 130000 pounds are desired for inventory at January 31, and 310000 pounds are required for January production, how many pounds of raw materials should be purchased in January
Answer:Pound of raw materials needed to be purchased = 400000 pounds
Explanation:
Opening inventory at January 1 =40000 pounds
Closing inventory at January 31- =130000 pounds
Pounds required for production ==310000 Pounds
Pound of raw materials needed to be purchased= Pounds required for production + Closing inventory at January 31 --Opening inventory at January 1 =
=310, 000 pounds+130, 000 pounds -40000 pounds
=400000 pounds
30-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments and has a coupon rate of 8%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places.) a. What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $900?
Answer:
The answer is 15.508%
Explanation:
The annual coupon rate is:
8% x 900 x 2 / $1,000 = 14.4%
The yield to maturity as follows:
Yield to maturity (YTM) = [Coupon payment + (Face Value - Present Value) / Time to Maturity] / [(Face Value + Present Value) / 2]
=> YTM = [14.4% x $1,000 + ($1,000 - $900) / 30] / [ ($1,000 + $900) / 2] = 15.508%
"A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 4 years at 105. The taxable gain or loss is a:"
Answer:
2 point capital gain
Explanation:
Every municipal bond that is purchased at premium is subject to straight line depreciation, whether the premium be trading premium or original issue premium.
Here the premium is 5 points = 105 - 100
Which shall be amortised over its useful life of 10 years.
Thus, for each year 1/2 point is amortised without allowing any tax deduction.
Thus, after 4 years total amortisation = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 4years = 2[/tex]
Thus, value at end of year 4 = 105 - 2 = 103 basis point.
Further the selling amount = 105 basis point.
Thus, 105 - 103 = 2 basis point shall be taxable.

A customer wishes to purchase $100,000 face amount of municipal bonds that the broker-dealer does not have in inventory. Under MSRB rules, the firm should:
Answer:
contact enough dealers so that a reasonable market quote is obtained . when a municipal dealer acts in an agency capacity, the price charged must be representative of the market for that type of security. There is no requirement to obtain a pre-set number of quotes (as a contrast, FINRA requires that a minimum of 3 quotes be obtained for non-NASDAQ OTC issues, meaning OTCBB or Pink Sheet issues), nor is there a requirement to direct the customer to a dealer that physically has those bonds. The dealer would not sell short the bonds to the customer, since short covering is very difficult in the thinly traded municipal market.

Trevor Company discloses supplementary operating segment information for its three reportable segments. Data for 20X8 are available as follows:
Segment A Segment B Segment C
Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating
expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000
Allocable costs for the year was $180,000. Allocable costs are assigned based on the ratio of a segment's income before allocable costs to total income before allocable costs. The 20X8 operating profit for Segment B was:_______.
A) $180,000.
B) $120,000.
C) $126,000.
D) $110,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Segment A Segment B Segment C
Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000
Profit= 250,000 180,000 110,000 = 540,000
Allocable costs for the year was $180,000.
First, we need to allocate costs to Segment B:
Segment B= 180,000/540,000= 0.33
Allocate= 0.33*180,000= 60,000
Now, we can calculate the profit:
Segment B profit= 180,000 - 60,000= 120,000

Using the one-period valuation model, assuming a year-end dividend of $1.00, an expected sales price of $100, and a required rate of return of 5%, the current price of the stock would be
Answer:
Price of stock = $96.19
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return
This principle can be applied as follows:
The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return
Price of stock = D1/(1+r) + P/(1+r)
D1= dividend in year 1
r- discount rate - 5%
P- Price in year 1
DATA
D1- 1,
r- 5%
P- 100
Price of stock = 1/(1.05) + 100/(1.05) = 96.19
Price of stock = $96.19

Sarah takes out a loan today for $26,000 at an interest rate of 2 percent a year. She plans to repay the loan after 5 years. How much will he have to pay?
Sarah will have to pay:__________
Answer:
$28,706.10
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of pay is shown below:
Here we have to find the future value by using the following formula
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
= $26,000 × (1 + 0.02)^5
= $28,706.10
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount of pay could be come and the same is to be considered
Cost of Producing Guitars Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitars is given by the following in dollars/month when the level of production is x guitars/month.
C '(x) = 0.008x + 90
The fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month. Find the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month.
Answer:
The total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.
Explanation:
Given,
C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 ................................... (1)
To obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month, we obtain the integral of equation (1) as follows:
[tex]C(x)=\int\limits {C'(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {[0.008x + 90]} \, dx[/tex]
C(x) = (0.008 / 2) x^2 + 90x + F
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + F .......................... (2)
Where F is the constant.
Since total cost is the addition of the total cost and total variable cost, the F in equation (2) represents the total fixed cost per month.
Since the fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month, this implies that F = 8,500.
Substituting F = 8,500 into equation (2), we have:
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500 <-------------- Total cost per month
Therefore, the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.
You buy a stock for $55 today, and sell the stock one year later for $54, during which time a $2 dividend is paid. What is your return on this stock
Answer:
1.82%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on the stock
Using this formula
Return=(Sales of stock - Stock bought today+Dividend)/Sales of stock
Let plug in the formula
Return = (54 - 55 + 2)/55
Return =1/55
Return = 0.0182×100
Return=1.82%
Therefore the return on the stock will be 1.82%

eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit?
Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.
Consider the case of a good with external benefits. If you plant trees in front of your house, the neighborhood is more attractive, and trees create shade, provide oxygen, and a home for birds and squirrels. Thus the benefits to society are greater than the benefits to you.
