Answer:
13.31%
Explanation:
some information is missing:
Year Cash flows
0 −$1,100
1 $450
2 $470
3 $490
the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%
but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³
to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:
since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³
1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14
1,100 ≠ 1,165.66
since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³
1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77
1,100 ≠ 1,125.24
we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³
1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59
1,100 ≠ 1,105.90
we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³
1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74
1,100 ≠ 1,087.13
since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%
we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%

A firm has sales of $1,220, net income of $226, net fixed assets of $544, and current assets of $300. The firm has $101 in inventory. What is the common-size statement value of inventory
Answer:
11.97%
Explanation:
Common size statement value of inventory is where all accounts are expressed as a percentage of total assets.
Total assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets
= $544 + $300
= $844
Common size statement value of inventory = Inventory ÷ Total assets
= $101 ÷ $844
= 0.1197
= 11.97%
Titan Mining Corporation has 7.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 280,000 shares of 4.5% preferred stock outstanding, and 165,000 bonds with a semi-annual coupon rate of 5.9% outstanding, par value $2,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $61 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $95 per share, and the bonds have 19 years to maturity and sell for 109% of par. The market risk premium is 7.1%, T-bills are yielding 3.5%, and the company’s tax rate is 25%.
A. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?
B. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?
Answer:
A. The Capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt
B. The firm should discount the project’s cash flows at 4.45 %.
Explanation:
Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Preferred Shares
Market Value of Equity = 280,000 shares × $61
= $17,080,000
Market Value of Preferred Shares = 280,000 shares × $95
= $26,600,000
Market Value of Debt = 165,000 bonds × $2,000 × 109%
= $359,700,000
Total Market Value = $403,380,000
Capital Structure :
Weight of Equity = $17,080,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 4.23 %
Weight of Preferred Shares = $26,600,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 6.59 %
Weight of Debt = $359,700,000 / $403,380,000 × 100
= 89.17 %
Thus, the market value capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt
Firms use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to discount the project’s cash flows.
Cost of Debt, r
PV = $2000 × 109 % = - $2,100
PMT = ($2,000 × 5.9%) ÷ 2 = $59
n = 19 × 2 = 38
P/YR = 2
FV = $2,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, Pretax cost of debt, r is 5,47 %
After tax cost of debt = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5,47 % × ( 1 - 0.25)
= 4.10 %
Cost of Equity
Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Risk Premium Portfolio
= 3.5 % + 1.15 × 7.1%
= 11.67 %
Cost of Preference Stock
Cost of Preference Stocks = 4.5%
WACC = ke(W/V) + kd(D/V) + kp(P/V)
= 11.67 % × 4.23 % + 4.10 % × 89.17 % + 4.5% × 6.59 %
= 4.45 %
Jack's gross pay for the week is . His yeartodate pay is under the limit for OASDI. Assume that the rate for state and federal unemployment compensation taxes is % and that Jack's yeartodate pay has previously exceeded the cap. What is the total amount of payroll taxes that Jack's employer must record as payroll tax expenses? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Assume a FICAOASDI Tax of % and FICAMedicare Tax of %.)
Answer: $122.40
Explanation:
Jack's year to date pay has already exceeded the $7,000 limit on which State and Federal Unemployment taxes can be charged on his pay.
The amount the employer will pay is;
= FICA OASI Tax + FICA Medicare tax
= (1,600 * 6.2%) + (1,600 * 1.45%)
= 99.20 + 23.20
= $122.40
The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:_______
a. failure to maintain an even flow of work
b. machine breakdowns
c. failure to obtain enough sales orders
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Answer:
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Explanation:
there are several volume variances:
direct materials volume variancedirect labor volume variancemanufacturing overhead volume variance sales volume varianceUtilities are part of manufacturing overhead, but volume variances using the standard rates, so an unexpected increase in the cost of utilities will not affect the overhead volume variance.
The unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities
Unfavorable volume variance means that the amount of applied fixed manufacturing overhead costs is less than the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
The machine breakdowns will affect production levels, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variance.
The failure to maintain even flow of work will impact the production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances
The failure to obtain enough sales order will limit production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances.
Thus, the Option D is correct because unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities

Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below.
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $1,424 $140
Accounts receivable (net) 4,000 3,800
Inventory 1,800 1,800
Other current assets 636 591
Total current assets $7,860 $6,331
Total current liabilities $3,930 $3,122
For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million.
Instructions:
Compute the current ratio, current cash debt coverage, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
1. Current ratio is
= Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= $7,860 ÷ $3,930
= 2
2. Current cash debt coverage is
= Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities ÷ Average Current Liabilities
Average Current Liabilities = ($3,930 + $3,122) ÷ 2
= $3,526
Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio = $1,251 ÷ $3,526
= 25.48%
3. Accounts receivable turnover is
= Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables
= $8,258 ÷ (($4,000 + $3,800) ÷ 2)
= $8,258 ÷ $3,900
= 2.12 times
4. Average collection period is
= 365 ÷ Account Receivable Turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.12
= 172.17
5. Inventory Turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $5,328 ÷ ((1,800 + 1,800) ÷ 2
= $5,328 ÷ 1,800
= 2.96
6. Days in Inventory is
= 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover Ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.96
= 123.31 days
The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt and equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm's overall capital structure.
_________ is the symbol that represents the cost of preferred stock in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation.
Bryant Co. has $2.3 million of debt, $1.5 million of preferred stock, and $1.8 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity?
A. 0.32
B. 0.24
C. 0.22
D. 0.30
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer
Weight of equity =0.32
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
The weight is the market value of nominal value of the source of fund as a proportion of the total capital funds.
Total capital funds = Debt funds + Preferred Funds + Equity funds
= ($2.3 + $1.5 + $1.8 ) million = $5.6 million
Weight of equity = Equity capital/Total capital funds
= 1.8/5.6 =0.32
Weight of equity =0.32
Swan Textiles Inc. produces and sells a decorative pillow for $98.00 per unit. In the first month of operation, 2,200 units were produced and 1,800 units were sold. Actual fixed costs are the same as the amount budgeted for the month. Other information for the month includes: Variable manufacturing costs $24.00 per unit Variable marketing costs $5.00 per unit Fixed manufacturing costs $13.00 per unit Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit Ending inventories: Direct materials −0− WIP −0− Finished goods 400 units What is the operating income using variable costing?
Answer:
Net operating profit= 57,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $98
Units sold= 1,800
Variable manufacturing costs $24.00 per unit
Variable marketing costs $5.00 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs $13.00 per unit
Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:
Total fixed manufacturing cost= 13*2,200= 28,600
Total administrative cost= 21*1,800= 37,800
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 98*1,800= 176,400
Total variable cost= 1,800*(24 + 5)= (52,200)
Contribution margin= 124,200
Total fixed manufacturing cost= (28,600)
Total administrative cost= (37,800)
Net operating profit= 57,800

a) Data and Calculations:
Authorized share capital:
$10 par preferred
$1 par value common
Issued, beginning of 2015:
Preferred = 125 shares
Common = 2,700 shares
b) The issue of 2,700 additional shares of common stock for $13 per share totalled $35,100. This amount is credited to the Common Stock and the receipt of cash debited to the Cash Account. The same is applicable with respect to the 175 additional shares issued at $37 per share.
c) When a cash dividend is declared, the stockholders of record on the record date of June 15 are noted, since they are the only ones that will participate in the dividends. The accounting records are debit to the dividend account and a credit to the Dividends Payable account, establishing the liability. The payment for the declared dividend is recorded with a debit to the Dividends Payable account to close the liability and a credit to the Cash Account.
d) Treasury stock is a stock of common stock repurchased by the company. The issue and reissue of treasury stock are treated in the treasury stock account if the costing method is used, otherwise, the par-value method would be operational.
If the Fed increases the discount rate, which of the following accurately describes the sequence of events that will follow in the banking system, finally leading to a decline in money supply?
A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
B. Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Reserves ↓; Excess reserves ↓; Money supply ↓
C. Deposits ; Reserves: Excess reserves; Loans ↓; Money supply ↓
D. Excess reserves ↓; Reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.
If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.
As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
A customer has purchased 10,000 shares of Fromage stock, a Swiss cheese company. The stock is not traded in the United States. Fromage declares and pays a dividend of 15,000 Swiss Francs, which, when converted to dollars, equals $10,000. Switzerland imposes a 20% withholding tax on dividends repatriated outside its borders. How is the dividend reported on this investor's U.S. tax return
Answer:
$10,000 of dividends are reported, along with a $2,000 tax credit for monies withheld in Switzerland
Explanation:
As we know that if there is a direct investment in a foreign security, so the foreign country having a tax on dividend send an individual his home country against his will now if this condition arise so the same i.e tax credit should be levy on the same person while filing the U.S tax return
Since $10,000 dividend is received along with it $2,000 would be the tax credit

Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
To a layman, break-even point is the point where an entity neither make profit nor loss. It is the point where total revenue equals total cost(where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart).
Points greater or above this intersection or point mean the firm is making profit and points lesser or below this intersection or point mean the firm is making loss.

If the budget deficit increases then a. saving and the interest rate rise. b. saving rises and the interest rate falls. c. saving falls and the interest rate rises. d. saving and the interest rate fall.
Answer:
c. saving falls and the interest rate rises.
Explanation:
If Country A runs a budget deficit, it forces the government to issue bonds at reduced prices in order to raise funds to shore up the decreased government revenue. When bonds are issued, the government is mopping up the savings, thus reducing the available savings. With this increased budget deficit, interest rates will rise as the cost of funding increases to match the inflationary effect of the deficit. And the vicious circle starts.
4. Suppose you hold a PUT option on Israeli shekels with a strike price of 3.4207s/$. If the spot rate on the final day of the option is 3.4329s/$, how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000? Should you do it?
Answer:
Profit $3,567
I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .
Explanation:
Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000
First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount
3.4329s*$1,000,000
=$3,432,900
Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price
3,432,900/3.4207
=$1,003,567
Last Step is to find the profit
Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000
Profit=$3,567

To record the cash overage.
Explanation:
Handling cash in Bluestem Industries will occasionally give rise to cash shortages and cash overages. The best practise is to enact a company policy to guide actions and decisions with respect to cash shortages and overages. And then the accounting for these will be in accordance with the policy. However, the problem of shortages and overages may be pointing at other underlying problems involved in cash handling. Where only the shortages are reported frequently, then the company may need to find ways to minimize cash handling, e.g. using credit cards to receive payments and refunding employees for expenses through bank accounts.

Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $70 per share and the required return on the stock is 14 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
Answer: $4.58
Explanation:
The required return is said to be evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield.
That means that Dividend Yield = 7%
Capital gains yield = 7%
The Dividend Yield is based on the next dividend and given the expected return the dividend is;
Expected Return = Dividend Yield + Capital gains yield
Expected Return = Dividend(1 + g)/stock price + Capital gains yield
0.14 = Dividend ( 1 + 0.07)/70 + 0.07
70 * (0.14 - 0.07 ) = Dividend ( 1.07)
4.9 = Dividend ( 1.07)
Dividend = 4.9/1.07
Dividend = $4.58

Which of the following statements is not true about self-awareness?
a. Self-awareness involves a capacity to monitor and control biases that potentially affect your decision making.
b. Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers.
c. Self-awareness can be increased by acquiring multiple experiences in diverse situations and with diverse others.
d. Self-awareness is best described as the capacity for introspection and the ability to reconcile oneself as an individual separates from the environment and other individuals.
Answer:
b. Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers.
Explanation:
Self-awareness can be defined as a mental process, which occurs when an individual has knowledge about himself, about his knowledge, his actions and attitudes.
Therefore, in the workplace, having self-awareness is essential for a manager to achieve high performance, as this is a skill that includes knowing your skills, values, internal resources that ensure that there is the possibility of better monitoring of environments and oneself, control of emotions and improved perception of oneself and others.
This is a characteristic that adds to a manager 's assertive ability to establish communication focused on ethics, mutual respect, cordiality, etc.
The statement that is not true about self awareness from the list is B. "Managers who have low self-awareness are superior performers."
Self awareness refers to the ability of one to understand their thoughts, feelings, impulses and actions. Being self aware is a very important leadership attribute.
Therefore the statement that 'managers who have low self awareness are superior performers' is wrong.
A manager that lacks self awareness will definitely not perform their job effectively.
Self awareness helps one to become better at making decisions, it helps control biases, communicate more effectively and build good relationships in the work place or other places.
Thus, we can conclude that managers who have low self awareness are not superior performers.
