KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is:
= 4.55%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of the bond = $100
Annual coupon rate (cost of debt) = 6.5%
Maturity period of bond = 20 years
Tax rate = 30%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = 6.5 (1 - 0.3)
= 4.55%
b) KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is the interest paid on the bond less any income tax savings accounted for as deductible interest expenses. To calculate the after-tax cost of debt, KJ subtracts the company's effective tax rate from 1 and multiplies the difference by its cost of debt.

A company's perpetual preferred stock currently trades at $87.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock?
a. 8.25%
b. 9.14%
c. 8.69%
d. 9.62%
Answer:
9.62%
Explanation:
The firm cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows
Dividend= $8
Price= $87.50
Floation cost= 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
= 8/87.50(1-0.05)
= 8/87.50(0.95)
= 8/83.125
= 0.0962×100
= 9.62%
Hence the firm cost of preferred stock is 9.62%
Weekly demand figures at Hot Pizza are as follows:
Week Demand($)

Using the Hot Pizza weekly demand figures provided, estimate demand for Week 4 to Week 12 by using a 3-week moving average as well as simple exponential smoothing with α = 0.2. Evaluate the MAD, MAPE, MSE, bias, and TS in each case. Which of the two methods do you prefer? Why? Include all calculations as well as your narrative explanation and summary.
Answer:
MAD: 10.04, 11.53
MAPSE: 10% , 12%
MSE : 146.33, 178.72
Bias : -0.56 , -0.96
3-week moving average method is better
Explanation:
i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )
using 3 week moving average
= 10.04
using simple exponential smoothing
= 11.53
ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )
using 3 week moving average
= 10%
using simple exponential smoothing
= 12%
iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )
3 week MV = 146.33 , Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.
iv) Bias
3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56, Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.
v) TS ( Total error / MAD )
3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,
simple exponential smoothing = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75
b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.

Describe TWO ways in which the above law protects citizens against human
rights violations.
Answer:
1. Protection of Human Rights Act 1993: declares the rights pertaining to life, equality, liberty,and dignity of an individual that is guaranteed by the Constitution of India.
2. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)- declared by the United Nations General Assembly in the year 1948.
Explanation:
Unobserved effects versus idiosyncratic errors
Suppose you have two years' worth of panel data on wages and work experience of adults; however, the data set has no further information on the characteristics of the individuals in the data set. Specifically, you have cross-sectional wage and work experience data on individuals in 2006, and cross-sectional data on those same individuals in 2012. You plan to use the following fixed effects model to analyze the effects of work experience on wages:
log (wage it ) = βo + 80 yr10, + B1 experit + ai + uit
where
wage it = yearly wage of individual i at time t, in dollars
yrl0, =1 in the year 2010 (t = 2), and =0 otherwise (t = 1)
exper = years of work experience of individual i, at time t
ai = unobserved (time-invariant) effect
uit = idiosyncratic error
Two other factors that can influence wage, which you have not controlled for in your model, are height and industry of employment.
Use the following table to indicate which term in the fixed effects model captures the effect of height, which term captures the effect of industry of employment, and which term captures the effect of work experience.
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
Answer:
The terms that capture the effect of industry of employment and work experience are:
Industry of employment = uit
Work experience = β1
Height = ai
Explanation:
a) Data:
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
b) Explanation
The "idiosyncratic error" (uit) describes the unobserved factors that impact the dependent variable. For example, industry of employment, and this factor vary from one-time period to the next.
The unobserved (time-invariant) effect (ai) refers to the height of the industry of employment, which does not vary over time.
Finally, work experience is depicted by β1, which is a factor that changes with time.

Cash collection July= $712,000
Wallaby Kite Company, a small Melbourne firm that sells kites on the Web, wants a master budget for the three months beginning January 1, 2012. It desires an ending minimum cash balance of $20,000 each month. Sales are forecast at an average wholesale selling price of $8 per kite. Merchandise costs average $4 per kite. All sales are on credit, payable within 30 days, but experience has shown that 60 percent of current sales are collected in the current month, 30 percent in the next month, and 10 percent in the month thereafter. Bad debts are negligible.
In January, Wallaby Kite is beginning just-in-time (JIT) deliveries from suppliers, which means that purchases will equal expected sales. On January 1, purchases will cease until inventory decreases to $24,000, after which time purchases will equal sales. Purchases during any given month are paid in full during the following month. Monthly operating expenses are as follows:
Wages and salaries....$60,000
Insurance expired...........500
Depreciation.................1,000
Miscellaneous.............10,000
$1,000/month + 10% of quarterly sales over
Rent...........................$40,000
Cash dividends of $6,000 are to be paid quarterly, beginning January 15, and are declared on the 15th of the previous month. All operating expenses are paid as incurred, except insurance, depreciation, and rent. Rent of $1,000 is paid at the beginning of each month, and the additional 10 percent of sales is paid quarterly on the 10th of the month following the end of the quarter. The next rent settlement date is January 10.
The company plans to buy some new fixtures for $12,000 cash in March.
Money can be borrowed and repaid in multiples of $2,000. Management wants to minimize borrowing and repay rapidly. Simple interest of 10 percent per annum is computed monthly but paid when the principal is repaid. Assume that borrowing occurs at the beginning, and repayments at the end, of the months in question. Compute interest to the nearest dollar.

Explanation:
A store has two different coupons that customers can use. One coupon gives the customer $15 off their purchase, and the other coupon gives the customer 30% off of their purchase. Suppose they let a customer use both coupons and choose which coupon gets applied first. For this context, ignore sales tax.
Let f be the function that inputs a cost (in dollars) and outputs the cost after applying the "$15 off" coupon, and let g be the function that inputs a cost (in dollars) and outputs the cost after applying the "35% off" coupon.
a. Suppose acustomerwants to purchase asi 40 item and apply the si 5 of coupon first, and then the 35% or coupon How much will the item cost after applying the coupons?
b. Suppose a customer wants to purchase a S 140 item and apply the SI 5 off coupon first, and then the 35% or coupon Ure ction notation to represent how much the item will cost (dollars) after applying the coupons.
c. Suppose a customer wants to purchase a $140 item and apply the 35% om coupon first and then the sis of coupon How much will the item cost after applying the coupons?
d. Suppose a customer wants to purchase a S 140 item and apply the "35% or coupon first and then the "S 15 off coupon. Usefu ction notation to represent how much the item will cost (dollars) after applying the coupons.
Answer:
16.25;
g(f(x)) ;
76 ;
f(g(x))
Explanation:
For 15 off
f(x) = x - 15
For 35% off
g(x) = (1 - 0.35)x = 0.65x
g(x) = 0.65x
A.)
For the $15 off coupon :
f(x) = x - 15
f(x) 40 - 15 = 25
For the 35% coupon :
g(x) = (1-0.35)x
g(x) = 0.65(25)
g(x) = 16.25
B.)
Applying $15 off first, then 35%
Here, g is a function of f(x)
g(f(x))
Here g(x) takes in the result of f(x) ;
For the $140 off coupon :
f(x) = x - 15
f(140) = 140 - 15 = 125
For the 35% coupon :
g(125) = (1-0.35)x
g(124) = 0.65(125) = $81.25
C.)
x = 140
g(x) = 0.65x
g(140) = 0.65(140)
g(140) = 91
f(x) = x - 15
f(91) = 91 - 15
f(91) = 76
D.)
Here, F is a function of g(x)
f(g(x))
f(x) = (0.65*140) - 15

If variances are recorded in the accounts at the time the manufacturing costs are incurred, what does a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represent?
Answer:
unfavorable variance
Explanation:
In such situation, a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represents
unfavorable variance. This is an accounting term that explains situations when the actual cost of the project is higher than the standard or projected cost.
It means that the actual price at which the materials are bought is higher than the standard price / budgeted price / estimated price and therefore, more amount has to be paid than expected.
Suppose that an investor buys a 100-share call option for $250. It has an exercise price of $60. The underlying price per share of the stock at expiration is $66. What then is the amount of profit or loss, ignoring brokerage fees
Answer:
$350
Explanation:
Call option is profitable when Stock price expires above the Strike price of the option.
Strike price of call = $60
Stock price at expiration = $66
Total profit = Size*(Stock price-Strike price) - Premium paid
Total profit = 100*($66-$60) - $250
Total profit = 100*$6 - $250
Total profit = $600 - $250
Total profit = $350
Thus, the amount of profit (ignoring brokerage fees) is $350.

Balmforth Products, Inc. makes and sells a single product called a Bik. It takes three yards of Material A to make one Bik. Budgeted production of Biks for the next five months is as follows: The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of Material A equal to 20% of the following month's production needs. On January 31, this target had not been attained since only 2,000 yards of Material A were on hand. The cost of Material A is $0.80 per yard. The company wants to prepare a Direct Materials Purchases Budget. The total needs (i.e., production requirements plus desired ending inventory) of Material A for the month of May are:
Answer:
46,500 yards
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Total needs of Material A for the month of May
Using this formula
Total needs =Production requirement+Desired ending Inventory
Let plug in the formula
Total needs=12,600*3+($14,500*20%*3)
Total needs=37,800+8,700
Total needs=46,500 yards
Therefore the Total needs of Material A for the month of May is 46,500 yards.
Project A requires a $280,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $30,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $20,000 per year for the next five years. QS 26-6 Accounting rate of return LO P2 Compute Project A’s accounting rate of return.
Answer:
12.90%
Explanation:
Annual average investment = (Initial investment + Salvage value) / 2
Annual average investment = ($280000 + $30000) / 2
Annual average investment = $155,000
Accounting rate of return = Annual after-tax net income / Annual average investment
Accounting rate of return = $20,000 / $155,000
Accounting rate of return = 0.1290322581
Accounting rate of return = 12.90%

Absorption Costing
Sales revenue $750,000
Less Cost of goods sold :
Variable portion $370,000
Fixed portion $110,000 ($480,000)
Gross Profit $270,000
Variable Costing
Sales revenue $750,000
Less Variable Costs :
Variable portion - Cost of Sales $370,000
Variable selling and administrative costs $50,000 ($420,000)
Contribution $330,000
therefore,
The only correct statement is : Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000

Cost of computer $7,500
Salvage value of computer $500
Usage period 8 years 8 years
Interest rate 5% 5%
Present value annuity factor 6.463 6.463
Present value factor for salvage 0.677
Present value of annuity $32,315 $29,782 ($22,621 + $7,500 - 339)
$22,782 = ($3,500 * 6.463 + $7,500 - ($500 * 0.677))
Benefit-cost ratio = $32,315/$29,782 = 1.1
