Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.350 million Cash of $10.050 million Retained Earnings of $44.117 million. What were the Digby Corporation's total liabilities?
a) $165.081 million.
b) $144.981 million.
c) $155.031 million.
d) $161.381 million.
Answer:
The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.
Thus, we can say that,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.
205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)
205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467
205.498 - 50.467 = Total Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $155.031
A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is:_______
Answer:
Out the money.
Explanation:
A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is out the money.
An out the money ultimately implies that an option only has an extrinsic value but no intrinsic value. The extrinsic value of an option refers to the difference between its intrinsic value and the market value (premium). An extrinsic value is affected by the volatility in the market and its time value. The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the calculated, true or real value of an asset and is solely affected by internal factors.
A call is out the money when the strike price is greater than or above the underlying price of an asset. This simply means that, it's market value (price) has fallen below its strike price.
In this scenario, the market price of the call is 77 while its strike price is 80; thus, the call option is out the money by 3.

b.
Determine which location alternative (A, B, or C) should be chosen on the basis of maximum composite score.
B
C
A
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-
Composite score for A is
= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90
= 88.05
Composite score for B is
= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96
= 90.91
Composite score for C is
= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95
= 87.90
Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C
b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B
A gift-wrapping business is staffed by Kaitlyn, Rob, Sam, Susan and Sarah. The production by each of the staff members for an average eight-hour work day is as follows:
Assume that the standard or normal productivity in the organization is 10 minutes per package. What is Kaitlyn's efficiency?
Kaitlyn Rob Sam Susan Sarah
72 packages 55 packages 52 packages 52 packages 48 packages
a. 0.75 (75%)
b. 1.50(150%)
c. 9.0 packages per hour
d. 1.50 packages per hour
e. 9.0 minutes per package
Answer:
b. 1.50(150%)
Explanation:
Given that, the standard time per packages is 10 minutes
Then, the total time taken in eight hour shift is 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
The standard output = Total time taken / Standard time = 480/10 = 48 packages
Therefore, the efficiency of Kaitlyn = Kaitlyn's Output / Standard output
=72 / 48
= 1.5
Hence, the answer is 150% or 1.5

A. BANs.
B. TANs.
C. GANs.
D. CLNs.
Answer:
Option C (GANs) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
GAN refers to "Grant Anticipation Notice". This can indeed be distributed by a municipality or community to "move forward" as well as make the proper use of another government grant extra funds expected future economic in the years ahead. Those other state grant monies are being used for investments in mass transportation, energy efficiency, including environmental regulations.The other three alternatives are not related to the given instance. So that the above would be the appropriate one.
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.
Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60
and ordering costs are $96.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''
Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]
Total cost = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)
Total cost = 720 + 720 + 21600
Total cost = $ 23040
If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700
Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700
Total cost = $22545.6
If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96) + 19800
Total cost = 3000 + 172.8 + 19800
Total cost = $22972.8
From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000
So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order
the number of orders per year = 18000/5000
the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year
Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part
Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes
non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes
Total lead times : 1240 minutes, 160 minutes
value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%
Explanation:
Given data:
production batch sizes = 40 units
process step 1 = 6 minutes
process step 2 = 10 minutes
process step 3 = 6 minutes
process step 4 = 8 minutes
Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches
UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH
Th value added time:
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time:
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step
= 30*39+8*5
= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time
= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes
value added time as a percentage/ratio
(value added time / total lead time) * 100
= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%
UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH
value added time :
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time :
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + time between each step
= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time = 30 +130 = 160 mins
value added time as a percentage/ratio:
(value added time / total lead time ) * 100
= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%
A company has reported operating income of $25,000,000. The bond interest expense for the year is $4,000,000 and principal payments on bonds totaled $1,000,000. The company's debt service coverage ratio is:
Answer:
The company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Explanation:
The debt service coverage ratio refers to the financial ratio that give a measure of the ability of a company to meet its current debts obligation.
The debt service coverage ratio therefore compares the operating income of the company with the company's total debt service obligations.
The total service obligation includes the current interest, principal repayment, and any other debt obligations.
The formula for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is given as follows:
Debt service coverage ratio = Operating income / Total debt service costs
Form the question, we have:
Operating income = $25,000,000
Total debt service costs = Interest expense + Principal payments on bonds = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,000,000
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Debt service coverage ratio = $25,000,000 / $5,000,000 = 5
Therefore, the company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Since this is greater than 1, this iimplies that operating profits made by the company is more than enough to pay its current debt service costs.
Founder of Vanguard, Jack Bogle, believes that all investors should buy stock indices. Group of answer choices He believes in strong form market efficiency. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency. He believes in weak form market efficiency. He believes markets are not efficient.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. He believes in strong form market efficiency.
Explanation:
Jack Bogle believed that, in a situation where people simply buy an entire group of stocks as a result of investors investing money into the index fund, it will create a strong market. That is, if every investor in the world only purchased the same index fund, then the market of buyers and sellers would no longer set the fair market price of the stocks in the stock market.
New Harvest Bakery acquired all the outstanding common stock of Red Rock Bakery for $69,300 in cash. The book values and fair values of Red Rock's assets and liabilities were as follows: Book Value Fair Value Current assets $ 28,700 $ 22,300 Property, plant, and equipment 47,800 52,600 Other assets 3,500 5,800 Current liabilities 15,100 14,900 Long-term liabilities 29,000 21,400 Calculate the amount paid for goodwil
Answer:
Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:
Book Value Fair Value
Current assets $ 28,700 $ 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 47,800 52,600
Other assets 3,500 5,800
Current liabilities 15,100 14,900
Long-term liabilities 29,000 21,400
The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:
Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.
Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.
For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:
Particular Fair Value ($)
Current assets 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 52,600
Other assets 5,800
Current liabilities (14,900)
Long-term liabilities (21,400)
Fair value of net asset 44,400
Therefore, we have:
Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset = $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900
Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?
Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time
a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.
Answer:
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Explanation:
There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:
we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facilityIf we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:
only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
Badger Corporation declared a stock distribution to all shareholders of record on March 25 of this year. Shareholders will receive one share of Badger stock for each 10 shares of stock they already own. Madison Cheesehead owns 1,000 shares of Badger stock with a tax basis of $100 per share. The fair market value of the Badger stock was $110 per share on March 25 of this year.Required:a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009? b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable? c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
Answer:
a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?
Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.
b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?
Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock
c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)
The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
Answer:
Option A is M2
Option B is M1
Option C is M2
Explanation:
The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.
M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.
Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.
M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.
Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone? Yes No
Answer:
1a. $2.67 cost per unit
1b. $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Yes
Explanation:
1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired
The following details were given in the question.
Defective average =3/100= 0.03
inspection rate = 30 per hour
Cost of inspector = 8 per hour
Correction cost = $10 each
Using this formula
Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour
Let plug in the formula
Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour
Hired inspector =0.267×100
Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit
1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired
Using this Formula
No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective
Let plug in the formula
No inspector= 3/100×$10
No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000, variable costs are $465,100, and operating income is $287,000. What is the contribution margin ratio
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.42
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Bryce Co. sales are $801,000
Variable costs are $465,100
Operating income is $287,000.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales
contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.42

Explain how to use the decision trees and Monte Carlo analysis for quantifying risk. Give an example of how you would use each technique on an IT project.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Decision Tree Analysis is a form or type of quantitative risk assessment tool and techniques that involves a diagram that indicates the significances of choosing one or other alternatives.
In other words, the purpose of the tool is to assist you to select between several courses of action.
For example, lines are drawn towards the right for each possible solution, and then the solution is written along the line. Then evaluation of each alternative can be easily considered.
On the other hand, Monte Carlo Analysis is also a form or type of quantitative risk assessment tools and techniques that utilizes optimistic, most probable, and cynical estimates to infer the total project cost and project completion dates.
For example, an estimate of the probability of completing a project at a cost of $100M can be carried out using Monte Carlo Analysis

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:
Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000
Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?
Answer:
81%
Explanation:
Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used
Using this formula
Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)
Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000
Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000
Markup percentage=0.81*100
Markup percentage=81%
Calculation for Total variable costs
Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit $11
Total variable costs =$30
Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%
The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent
Answer:
11.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) + (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)
= 3.07% + 8.69%
= 11.76%
Hence, the WACC is 11.76%
We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost

air pollution causes capital to wear out more rapidly, doubling the rate of depreciation. How would this affect economic growth?
Answer:
The economic growth will be lower.
Explanation:
The rise in pollution and the doubling of the rate of depreciation will affect economic growth adversely. However, rapid wear and tear of capital will cost the person and it will reduce the purchasing power. Thus, lower purchasing power will result in lower economic growth. Moreover, pollution creates three main problems that are reduced labor productivity, rise in health problems, and loss of crop yield. So the reduction in all these factors will also slow down economic growth.
Harvey’s Hardware is thinking about starting a line of lawnmowers to serve its customer base in the summer. The lawnmowers would be priced at $100 and Harvey the manager believes that they would sell 3 units. They have the following estimated costs.
Units Produced Labor Cost Total cost
0 0 100
1 50 150
2 100 200
3 200 300
4 350 450
What is the marginal cost of producing the third unit?
a. $400
b. $300
c. $200
d. $100
Answer:
Harvey's Hardware
Marginal cost of producing the third lawnmowers:
d. $100
Explanation:
Harvey's marginal cost for producing the third unit of lawnmowers is the additional cost that resulted when the total cost increased from $200 to $300. However, it can be deciphered from the case that the marginal cost for Harvey, which it is supposed to be a variable cost, is traceable to the direct labor costs. This implies that the fixed cost element for Harvey in the production of the lawnmowers has been relatively fixed at $100. It does not vary with the volume of production, while the direct labor costs vary with the volume of lawnmowers produced by Harvey.
