Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ

The shares are bought at $60 in a margin account

Two days after the price of XYZ drops to $40

The first step is to calculate the current market value

= 1,000 shares×$40

= $40,000

Therefore, the minimum maintenance margin requirement can be calculated as follows

= 25/100 × current market value

= 25/100 × 40,000

= 0.25×40,000

= $10,000

Hence the minimum maintenance margin requirement is $10,000

9) Selected information regarding a company's most recent quarter follows (all data in thousands). 9) _______ Direct labor $540 Beginning work in process inventory $330 Ending work in process inventory $420 Cost of goods manufactured $1620 Manufacturing overhead $830 What was the cost of direct materials used for the quarter

Answers

Answer:

Direct material= $340

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor $540

Beginning work in process inventory $330

Ending work in process inventory $420

Cost of goods manufactured $1620

Manufacturing overhead $830

To calculate the direct material used in production, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

1,620= 330 + DM + 540 + 830 - 420

Direct material= $340

On July 1, 20X1, James and Short formed a partnership. James contributed cash. Short, previously a sole proprietor, contributed property other than cash, including realty subject to a mortgage, which the partnership assumed. Short’s capital account on July 1, 20X1, should be recorded at

Answers

Answer:

James and Short LLC

Short's capital account on July 1, 20X1 should be recorded at the fair value of contributed property minus the mortgage liability, which the partnership assumed.

Explanation:

The fair value of contributed property is the current market value of the contributed property by Short.  It is the market value that will determine how the contributed property can be valued.  The market value assumes that the contributed property is being sold in pieces and not as a whole.  This is why the value is considered a fair basis for recognizing the capital contribution of Short into the partnership.

Gretta's portfolio consists of $700,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.2 and $300,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a. The required return on the market is 10%.
b. The portfolio's required return is less than 11%.
c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
d. If the market risk premium remains unchanged but expected inflation increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
e. If the stock market is efficient, Gretta's portfolio's expected return should equal.

Answers

Answer: c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

Explanation:

To prove the above option, the Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used.

Required Return = Risk free rate + portfolio beta(market premium)

Portfolio Beta

This the weighted average of the individual betas.

Total portfolio value = 700,000 + 300,000 = $1,000,000

= ( 1.2 * 700,000/1,000,000) + ( 0.8 * 300,000/1,000,000)

= 0.84 + 0.24

= 1.08

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5%)

= 6% + 5.4%

= 11.4%

Assuming risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%.

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5% + 2%)

= 6% + 7.56%

= 13.56%

The change in required return

= (13.56% - 11.4%)/11.4%

= 18.9%

Proving that if the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

Answers

Answer:

The transaction price allocated to the pool and the installation is $124,540.54 and  $19,459.46 respectively.

Explanation:

Price Allocation to Pool = $144,000 * (128,000 / (128,000 + 20,000))

Price Allocation to Pool = $144,000 * 0.864865

Price Allocation to Pool = $124,540.54

Price Allocation to Installation = $144,000 * (20,000 / (128,000 + 20,000))

Price Allocation to Installation = $144,000 * 0.135135

Price Allocation to Installation = $19,459.46

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

A proposed new project has projected sales of $222000, costs of $96500, and deperciation of $26100. The tax rate is 24 percent.Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches.

(Do not round intermediate calculations.)

A. EBIT+Depreciation-Taxes

B. Top-Down

C. Tax-Shield

D.Bottom-Up

Answer:

(A) $101,644

(B) $101,644

(C) $101,644

(D) $101,644

Explanation:

A proposed new project has a sales of $222,000

The cost is $96,500

The depreciation is $26,100

The tax rate is 24%

= 24/100

= 0.24

(A) Using the EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes approach, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

EBIT= Sales-Cost-Depreciation

= $222,000-$96,500-$26,100

= $99,400

Taxes= EBIT × tax rate

= $99,400 × 0.24

= $23,856

EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

$99,400+$26,100-$23,856

= $125,500-$23,856

= $101,644

(B) Using the Top down approach, the operating Cash flow can be calculated as follows

Top down= Sales-Cost-Taxes

= $222,000-$96,500-$23,856

= $101,644

(C) Using the tax shield approach, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Tax shield= (sales-cost)×(1-Tax rate)+(depreciation×tax rate)

= ($222,000-$96,500) × (1-0.24) + ($26,100×0.24)

= 125,500×0.76+6,264

= $101,644

(D) Using the bottom up approach, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Bottom up = NI + depreciation

NI=EBIT-Taxes

= $99,400-$23,856

= $75,544

Bottom up=$75,544 + $26,100

= $101,644

Answers

Answer:

See answers below.

Explanation:

In order to get net cash flow through indirect method, we will have to make adjustment to the net income; hence we get the increase or decrease of different accounts with the data balance.

a) End beginning cash $48,030 $44,190

Increase in cash $3,840

Accounts receivable(net) $34,440 $32,660

Increase in accounts receivable $1,780

Merchandise Inventory $47,020 $49,710

Decreased inventory -$2,690

Prepaid expenses $5,280 $4,200

Increase prepaid expenses $1,080

Accounts payable(Merchandise creditors) $45,000 $41,800

Accounts payable increase $3,200

Wages payable $24,590 $27,310

Decreased wages payable -$2,720

Per below, we have some accounts that are added (+) to the net income while some are also deducted (-).

Net income $121,900

Adjustment to reconcile the net income to cash

+ Depreciation $20,100

+ Increase in cash $3,840

- Increase in accounts receivable ($1,780)

+ Inventory decrease $2,690

- Increase prepaid expenses ($1,080)

+ Accounts payable increase $3,200

- Decreased wages payable ($2,720)

Net cash $146,150

b) Briefly explain why net cash flow from operating activities is different other than net income.

The reason is that while net income refers to the earned profit by a company for a period ; cash flow from operating activities are measurement of daily cash (in and out) expended on business operation. Cash flow give explanation on the use of cash in an organization on a daily basis which includes net income from the income statement, changes in working capital, adjustments to net profits etc. t is to be noted that the starting point of calculating cash flow from operating activities is the net income.

Gabriel Industries stock has a beta of 1.12. The company just paid a dividend of $1.15, and the dividends are expected to grow at 4 percent. The expected return on the market is 11.4 percent, and Treasury bills are yielding 3.8 percent. The most recent stock price is $85. (a) Calculate the cost of equity using the dividend growth model method. (b) Calculate the cost of equity using the SML method. (c) Why do you think your estimates in (a) and (b) are so different?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of cost of equity using the dividend growth model method is shown below:-

Expected Dividend = Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)

= $1.15 × (1.04)

= $1.196

Current Stock Price = $85

Cost of Equity =  (Expected dividend ÷ Current stock price) + growth rate

= (1.196 ÷ 85) + 0.04

= 0.05407

or

= 5.41 %

b. The computation of cost of equity using the SML method is shown below:-

Using CAPM, Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta × (Market return - Risk free rate)

= 3.8 + 1.12 × (11.4 - 3.8)

= 12.31%

c. Since there are two different methods like SML and dividend growth model for determining the cost of equity so the estimates are so different

Average Rate of Return
Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $148,500 over five years, has a cost of $300,000, and has a $30,000 residual value.
%

Answers

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the accounting rate of return is shown below:

= Average net income ÷ average investment

where,  

Average net income is

= Total income ÷ number of years

= $148,500 ÷ 5 years

= $29,700

And, the average investment would be

= (Cost - salvage value) ÷ 2

= ($300,000 - $30,000) ÷ 2

= $270,000 ÷ 2

= $135,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $29,700 ÷ $135,000

If income rises from $1,000 to $1,400 and consumption rises from $800 to $1,168, the marginal propensity to consume is __________ percent.

Answers

Answer:

The marginal propensity to consume is 92 percent.

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the additional expenditure on consumption by consumer as a result of an in national income.

That is, MPC is a measure of the proportion or percentage of the additional income that goes consumption expenditure.

MPC can be calculated using the following formula

MPC = ΔC / ΔY ......................................... (1)

Where;

ΔC = Change in consumption = New consumption - Old consumption = $1,168 - $800 = $368

ΔY = Change in income = New income - Old income = $1,400 - $1,000 = $400

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MPC = $368 / $400 = 0.92, or 92%

Therefore, the marginal propensity to consume is 92 percent.

Answer:

5. 11.1%

Explanation:

the options for this question are missing:

5%7.8%10%10.5%11.1%

I prepared the following equation:

$100,000 = $45,000(1 + i)³ + x(1 + i)⁵

There is something that we must remember about zero coupon bonds, and that is that they are sold in thousands. This equation is complex, but there is an easier way to solve it. We can plug in the options to determine which % will result in a possible answer.

The answer is 11.1%, since the other options resulted in numbers which are not even close to a thousand.

$100,000 = $45,000(1.111)³ + x(1.111)⁵

$100,000 = $61,709.88 + 1.2763x

$38,290.12 = 1.2763x

x = $38,290.12 / 1.2763 = $30,000

Answer:

a. Rate of Return on the portfolio in each scenario:

Scenario Analysis:

Rate of Return

Scenario                Probability    Stocks     Bonds      Return of Return

Recession                  0.20         -5 %           14 %

= 0.20((-5% x 60%) + (14% x 40%)) = 0.0052 =               0.5%

Normal economy      0.60         15                8

= 0.60((15% x 60%) + (8% x 40%)) =  0.0732 =                7.3%              

Boom                         0.20        25               4

= 0.20((25% x 60%) + (4% x 40%) = 0.0332 =                 3.3%

Weights                     1.00          0.60          0.40

b. Expected rate of return =

Recession =                      0.0052

Normal economy =           0.0732

Boom =                             0.0332

Total expected returns = 0.1116 = 11.2%

Mean = 3.72% (11.2%/3)

Variance = 0.001168

Standard Deviation = 0.034 = 0.03

Explanation:

a) Data:

Scenario Analysis:

Rate of Return

Scenario                Probability    Stocks     Bonds

Recession                  0.20         -5 %           14 %

Normal economy      0.60         15                8

Weights                     1.00          0.60          0.40

b) The rate of return for each portfolio is derived by weighing the securities, adding the resultant figures and applying the scenario probability.  The expected rate of return is the addition of the returns of all the portfolio under the three scenarios.  The step for obtaining the standard deviation is to calculate the mean, the variance, and getting the square root of the variance.

What is the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity?
A. $1,000
B. $866
C. $500
D. $200

Answers

Answer:

b. $866

Explanation:

Annual demand from the question = D = $500

the ordering cost = S = $200

then the cost of carrying H = $15

we have to calculate the economic order quantity

= sqr(2*D*S)/H

= sqr(2 x 500 x 200)/25

= sqr(13333.3333)

this equals 115.469

which is approximately 115.5

next we have to calculate inventory ordering cost

= (D * S)/EOQ

= 200 *500/115.5

= 865.5

When approximated becomes $866

The inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

First step is to calculate the Economic order quantity

Economic order quantity =√(2×D×S)/H

Where:

D=Annual demand=$500

S=Ordering cost=$200

H=Holding cost =$15

Let plug in the formula

Economic order quantity =(2 x 500 x 200)/15

Economic order quantity =√200,000/15

Economic order quantity =√13333.3333

Economic order quantity =115.46

Economic order quantity = 115.5 (Approximately)

Second step is to calculate the inventory ordering cost using this formula

Inventory ordering cost= (Annual demand× Ordering cost )/Economic order quantity  

Let plug in the formula

Inventory ordering cost= (200×500)/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=100,000/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=$865.8

Inventory ordering cost=$866 (Approximately)

Inconclusion the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.
