JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of interestt is the time in yearsFuture value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5
Future value = $1514.30
Jerry deposited $10,000 in a bank account, and 10 years later he closes out the account, which is worth $18,000. The annual rate of interest that Jerry has earned over the 10 years is closest to:
Answer:
r= 6.054% per yearExplanation:
given that
principal P= $10,000
final amount A= $18,000
time t= 10 years
To find the annual rate we will use the formula below and solve for r
[tex]r = [(\frac{A}{P} )^\frac{1}{t} - 1][/tex]
Substituting our data into the expression and solving for r we have
[tex]r = [(\frac{18000}{10000} )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\r={1.06054-1}\\\\r= 0.06054[/tex]
Calculate rate of interest in percent
r = 0.06054* 100
r= 6.054% per year
The Year 1 selling expense budget for Apple Corporation is as follows:
Budgeted sales $275,000
Selling costs:
Delivery expenses $ 2,750
Commission expenses 5,500
Advertising expenses 2,500
Office expenses 1,500
Miscellaneous expenses 5,300
Total $17,550
Delivery and commission expenses vary proportionally with budgeted sales in dollars. Advertising and office expenses are fixed. Miscellaneous expenses include $2,000 of fixed costs. The rest varies with budgeted sales in dollars. The budgeted sales for Year 2 are $330,000.
What will be the value of miscellaneous expenses in the Year 2 selling expense budget?
A. $6,200
B. $4,200
C. $3,600
D. $3,960
Answer:
$5,960
Explanation:
Fixed portion of Miscellaneous expenses = $2,000
Variable portion of Miscellaneous expenses = ($5,300 - $2,000) / $275,000
= $3,300 / $275,000
= $0.012 of sales
Miscellaneous expenses in the Year 2 selling expense budget = (Budgeted sales * Variable portion) + Fixed portion
= ($330,000 * $0.012) + $2,000
= $3,960 + $2,000
= $5,960
The FREC is investigating a claim by a buyer that the broker had not given the proper disclosure to the buyer before the buyer purchased a home. The broker has paperwork dating back three years from the date of the signing of the document in question, and one year after the legal action of the case. Is the broker protected?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The Florida Real Estate Commission was constituted in 1926. Members are appointed by the Governor.
The aim of FREC is to protect ye public from bad practices by brokers. They have the authority to impose disciplinary action on lisensees.
According to requirement of the FREC the broker is required to keep records of transactions 5 years after the transaction occurred and 2 years after any legal action.
In this case the broker kept his records 3 years after the transaction and 1 year after legal action.
So he is not protected from disciplinary action by the FREC
Lopez Company uses both standards and budgets. For the year, estimated production of Product X is 500,000 units. Total estimated cost for materials and labor are $1,400,000 and $1,700,000.
Compute the estimates for (a) a standard cost and (b) a budgeted cost. (Round standard costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
Answer:
a. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of material ÷ Estimated production
= $1,400,000 / 500,000 unit
= $2.80 per unit
Thus, the standard cost of material is $2.80, and the budgeted cost is $1,400,000.
b. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of labor / Estimated production
= $1,700,000 / 500,000
= $3.40 per unit
Thus, standard cost of labor is $3.40 and budgeted cost is $1,700,000.

The incredible shrinking $50 bill in 1957 was worth $50, but in 2007 it is worth only $. a. What was the compounded average annual inflation rate (loss of purchasing power) during this period of time? b. Fifty dollars invested in the stock market in 1957 was worth $ in 2007. In view of your answer to Part (a), what was the annual real interest rate earned on this investment?
Answer:
A. 4.02%
B. 3.49%
Explanation:
a. Computation of the compounded average annual inflation rate during this period of time
Using this formula
Annual inflation rate=FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where,
t = 2007 - 1957 = 50 yrs
FV = 6.42
P = 50
Let plug in the formula
Annual inflation rate = (6.42 / 50)^(1/50) - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.1284 ^ 0.02 - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.959779 - 1
Annual inflation rate= -0.0402208 *100%
Annual inflation rate=4.02%
b. Computation of the annual real interest rate earned on this investment
First step is to find the Norminal ROR
Using this formula
Norminal ROR
= FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where
FV = 1998
P = 50
let plug in the formula
Norminal ROR = (1998 / 50)^(1/50) -1
Norminal ROR= 39.96 ^ 0.02 - 1
Norminal ROR= 1.076545 - 1
Norminal ROR= 0.0765457 *100
Norminal ROR= 7.65%
Last step is to calculate for annual real interest rate earned using this formula
Annual real interest rate earned = (1+ Nominal ROR) / (1+ Inflation) -1
Let plug in the formula
Annual real interest rate earned=(1+0.0765457) / (1+0.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= (1.0765457) / (1.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 1.034920 - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 0.0349*100
Annual real interest rate earned=3.49%
Therefore the Annual inflation rate will be 4.02% while Annual real interest rate earned will be 3.49%

"A mutual fund manager of a "high technology" fund feels that the market for this sector will remain flat in the next coming months and he wishes to generate some additional income against his portfolio. The best strategy is to sell:"
Answer: C. narrow-based calls
Explanation:
Narrow based calls would include calls from one industry. The mutual fund is an "High technology" firm which means that it is a narrow based fund for instance as it is interested only in one industry being the High Tech industry.
The manager should invest in Narrow based calls that focus on the sector if he anticipates that the market will remain flat for the sector. Narrow based Calls are more volatile because they are specific and with the volatility comes higher premiums to be charged.
Should he wish to make income against the portfolio, he should sell these knowing that the options will not be called as the market will remain flat.
A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:
Answer:
-$400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)
= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)
= $14,000 - $14,400
= -$400 unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.
What is the value of a perpetuity that pays $100 every 3 months forever? The interest rate quoted on an APR basis is 6%.
Answer:
$6,666.67
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the value of a perpetuity is shown below:-
Value of Perpetuity = Quarterly Payment ÷ Quarterly Interest Rate
Now, we will put the values into the above formula to reach the value of a perpetuity
= $100 ÷ (6% ÷ 4)
= $100 ÷ 0.0150
= $6,666.67
Therefore for computing the value of perpetuity we simply applied the above formula.

Suspect Corp. issued a bond with a maturity of 30 years and a semiannual coupon rate of 6 percent 4 years ago. The bond currently sells for 95 percent of its face value. The book value of the debt issue is $45 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 15 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $50 million and the bonds sell for 54 percent of par. The company’s tax rate is 40 percent.Required:a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?b. What is the company’s total market value of debt? c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of each point is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
First Issue of Bonds:
Face Value = $45,000,000
Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000
= $42,750,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 6%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%
= 3% × $45,000,000
= $1,350,000
Time to Maturity = 26 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)
N = 52
PV = -42750000
PMT = 1350000
FV = 45000000
I = 3.20%
Semiannual YTM = 3.20%
Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%
Annual YTM = 6.40%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)
= 3.84%
Second Issue of Bonds:
Face Value = $50,000,000
Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000
= $27,000,000
Time to Maturity = 15 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)
Using a financial calculator:
N = 30
PV = -27000000
PMT = 0
FV = 50000000
I = 2.075%
Semiannual YTM = 2.075%
Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%
= 4.15%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)
= 2.49%
a. The total book value of debt is
Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000
= $95,000,000
b. The total market value of debt is
Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000
= $69,750,000
c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is
Weight of first Issue of Debt is
= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000
= 0.6129
Weight of second issue of Debt
= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000
= 0.3871
So,
Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is
= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%
= 3.32%

A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $56,600. It is estimated to cost $339,600.
Required:
Determine the cash payback period.
Answer:
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $56,600
Initial investment= 339,600
The payback period is the time required for the cash flow to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 56,600 - 339,600= -283,000
Year 2= 56,600 - 283,000= -226,400
Year 3= 56,600 - 226,400= -169,800
Year 4= 56,600 - 169,800= -113,200
Year 5= 56,600 - 113,200= -56,600
Year 6= 56,600 - 56,600= 0
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
On January 1, 2018, Frontier World issues $40.7 million of 9% bonds, due in 20 years, with interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. The proceeds will be used to build a new ride that combines a roller coaster, a water ride, a dark tunnel, and the great smell of outdoor barbeque, all in one ride. rev: 11_03_2016_QC_CS-68413 Required: 1-a. If the market rate is 8%, calculate the issue price. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1)
Answer:
$44,728,243.62
Explanation:
face value $40,700,000
coupon rate 9%, semiannual 4.5%
maturity 20 years x 2 = 40 periods
market interest rate 8%
issue price?
present value of face value = $40,700,000 / (1 + 4%)⁴⁰ = $8,477,364.12
present value of coupon payments = $1,831,500 x 19.793 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 40 periods) = $36,250,879.50
market price = $8,477,364.12 + $36,250,879.50 = $44,728,243.62

Suppose a relative has promised to give you $1,000 as a wedding gift the day you get engaged. Assuming a constant interest rate of 5%, consider the present and future values of this gift, depending on when you become engaged. Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today. Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two YearsDate Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)Today 1,000.00 ? ?In 1 year ? 1,000.00 In 2 years ? 1,000.00Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.The present value of the gift is _________ if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Answer:
Date Received Present Value Value in 1 Year Value In 2 Years
today $1,000 $1,050 $1,102.50
in 1 year $952.38 $1,000 $1,050
in 2 years $907.03 $952.38 $1,000
The present value of the gift is LOWER (BY $45.35) if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Explanation:
to determine future value:
future value = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
to determine present value:
present value = future value / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Explain some of the basic principles of cost management, such as profits, life cycle cost, tangible and intangible costs and benefits, direct and indirect costs, and Reserves.
Answer:
Profits - These refer to the revenues accrued from a project less the costs of the project.
Life Cycle Cost - Life Cycle Cost is a concept in Cost management where the cost of a project throughout it's entire life is assessed. Costs assessed therefore include; initial capital costs, maintenance costs and operating costs.
Tangible and Intangible Costs - When costs are tangible, quantifying them.is easy as the cost can be stated and directly attributable to a cost object eg, cost of a fixed asset. Intangible cost on the other hand is not easy to quantify and is not easily attributable. For instance, the experience that a Project Manager leaves with if they resign.
Tangible and Intangible Benefits - Like tangible costs, tangible benefits are easily quantifiable and noticeable such as trade discounts from buying in bulk. Intangible benefits on the other hand are not easily quantifiable. An example would be Employee motivation from a safer working Environment.
Direct and Indirect Costs - Direct costs are costs that can be easily traced to a cost object. In other words, the reason for the cost is known e.g labor cost for assembling a product. Indirect Costs are harder to trace to a cost object even though they are related to production. An example would be the Electricity used for production.
Reserves - Cost reserves are monies held for any emergency expenses that may come up. This way the company can deal with them speedily.
A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2%, what will happen to the price of the bond?
Answer:
The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.
Explanation:
bond's current market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35
$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54
current market price = $3,928.89
if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80
$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01
current market price = $3,856.81
pryor frosted flakes company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from flakes boxes and $1.00. The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2007, the company sold 500,000 boxes and costumers redeemed 220,000 boxtops receiving 55,000 bowls. if the bowls cost 2.50 each, how much liabilitiy for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end od 2007?
Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.
They sold 500,000 boxes
= 500,000 * 60%
= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.
So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;
= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000
