Miss. Asma works as a sales executive at HBL Bank, is upset at the way her manager, Sadaf, always calls her in for one-on-one meetings to discuss her underperformance. Though Asma makes a higher number of sales calls and works longer hours than last year, her sales figures are still low. She knows that the main reason behind her underperformance is the recent economic meltdown in the country. However, her manager feels that Asma's underperformance is the result of her laid-back attitude and has nothing to do with external factors. In this situation, what kind of behavior/Attitude Sadaf is showing and how it can be replicate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sadaf's behavior exemplifies Fundamental attribution error.

It can be replicated if Sadaf does not try to understand Asma's point of view of her underperformance.

Explanation:

The Fundamental Attribution Error is a type of error by the people of over-emphasizing the characteristics of a person while ignoring the situational factors. In such type of cognitive bias, people tend to instil the personal trait of other or judging them for their laid-back behavior based on their personal trait rather than thinking of any possibility of external situation that may have caused it.

In the given situation, Sadaf is showing fundamental attribution error behavior by instilling to Asma's underperformance with her laid-back behavior instead of asking her the real problem.

This attribution error can be replicated if Sadaf did not ask Asam for the reason behind her underperformance.

Answers

Answer:

Some information was missing, so i looked it up:

State of               Prob. of the state          Sunglasses            Umbrella

the economy      of the economy             Company               Corporation

Sunny                          .50                              25%                          0%

Rainy                           .50                               0%                          25%

expected returns:

Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,

so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%

standard deviation:

Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%

Craig's Car Wash Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payback?
WACC: 10.00%
Year : Cash flows
0 : -$900
1 : $500
2 : $500
3 : $500

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year          Cash flow    DF             Present value                

0              900    ×          1        =     900                

1               500     ×      1.1^(-1)   =     454.55

2             500     ×      1.1^(-2)    =    413.22

2             500     ×      1.1^(-3)   =      375.66

Total PV for 2 years = 454.55  +  413.22 = 867.77

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77  = 32.23

Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months

                                               = 2 years 1 month

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Answers

Answer:

Working capital = $ 374,000

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021

Formula for Working Capital

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

First is to find the Current assets

Current assets =Cash $40,000 + Accounts receivable 170,000 +Raw materials 44,000+Work in process 62,000 +Finished goods 109,000 +Notes receivable 120,000 +Interest receivable 23,000 +Investment in debt securities 52,000+Prepaid rent 40,000 (80,000/2)

Current assets=$660,000

Second step is to find the Current liabilities

Current liabilities =Interest payable $25,000+Accounts payable 200,000+Deferred revenue 28,000 (56,000/2) +Allowance for uncollectible accounts 33,000

Current liabilities =$286,000

Let plug in the formula

Working capital =$660,000 - $286,000

Working capital = $ 374,000

Therefore the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021 will be $374,000

Sonny's BBQ Company recently issued $85 par value preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $9. Analysts estimate that the stock has a beta of 1.01. The current T-bill rate is 2.4%. The S&P 500's expected return is 12.1%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?

Answers

Answer:

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

So will need to work out the cost of equity using CAPM

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.4%, Rm- 12.1% β- 1.01

E(r) = 2.4% + 1.23×(12.1- 2.4)%  = 12.20 %

Cost of preferred stock= 12.20 %

Using the dividend valuation model

Intrinsic value = 9/0.1220=73.77

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Predatory pricing is when a company sets the price of its goods or services too low with the aim of eliminating the competition. Predatory pricing is illegal and it violates antitrust law.

Predatory pricing occurs when a firm colludes with one or more firms to fix prices or output. This is an example of collusion and they usually occur in an oligopoly

When Isaiah Company has fixed costs of $137,750 and the contribution margin is $29, the break-even point is

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 4,750 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

When Isaiah Company has fixed costs of $137,750 and the contribution margin is $29

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 137,750 / 29

Break-even point in units= 4,750 units

Answers

Answer:

x1 = 4891.294

Explanation:

given data

mean μ =  $5,793

standard deviation  σ =  $439

solution

we know here that

P(x < x1 ) = 0.02     .................1

so

[tex]P(\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma } < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02[/tex]

so

[tex]P(z < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }[/tex]  = invNorm(0.02)

so

x1 = μ + σ × invNorm(0.02)    .....................2

we use here table for invNorm(0.02) and put value in eq 2

x1 = 5793 + 439 × (-2.054 )

x1 = 4891.294

a) Provides the lowest cost of capital.

b) Has the best mix of debt, preferred stock, and common equity.

c) Can change over time as market and firm conditions change.

Suppose that the residents of Vegi-Topia spend all of their income on cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. In 2013, they buy 50 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 60 bunches of broccoli for $1.5 each, and 200 carrots for $0.10. In 2014, they buy 75 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 70 bunches of broccoli for $1.50 each, and 500 carrots for $0.20 each. In 2015, they buy 80 heads of cauliflower for $3, 90 bunches of broccoli for $2, and 500 carrots for $0.25 each. If the base year is 2015, what is the inflation for 2014

Answers

Answer:

Inflation for 2014 is 11%

Explanation:

Inflation refers to a quantitative measure of the rate of an increase in the average price level of a selected basket of commodities in an economy over a specified period of time.

The inflation rate for 2014 can be calculated as follows:

Since 2015 is the base year, the it implies that the basket we are going to use contains 80 heads of cauliflower, 90 bunches of broccoli, and 500 carrots.

Therefore, cost of basket for each year can be determined as follows:

2013 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.10 * 500) = $285

2014 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.20 * 500) = $335

2015 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2015 * Quantity in 2015) = ($3 * 80) + ($2 * 50) + ($0.25 * 500) = $465

The CPI for each year can be determined using the following for formula:

CPI of a year = Current period cost of basket / Base year cost of basket …………… (1)

As 2015 is the base year, using equation (1), we have:

2013 CPI = (2013 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $285 / $465 = 0.61 * 100 = 61

2014 CPI = (2014 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $335 / $465 = 0.72 * 100 = 72

2015 CPI = (2015 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $465 / $465 = 1 * 100 = 100

The inflation for a year can be determined as follows:

Inflation = (CPI in the current year - CPI in previous year) / CPI in the base year ..................... (2)

Using equation (2), we have:

Inflation for 2014 = (CPI in 2014 - CPI in 2013) / CPI in 2015 = (72 - 61) / 100 = 11 / 100 = 0.11, or 11%

An increase in the rate of expected inflation will Group of answer choices shift the demand for loanable funds to the left (down). shift the supply of loanable funds to the left (down). shift demand and supply for loanable funds to the right (up), decreasing interest rates. shift demand and supply for loanable funds to the right (up), increasing interest rates.

Answers

Answer:

shift demand and supply for loanable funds to the right (up), increasing interest rates.

Explanation:

According to the Fisher hypothesis when there is an increase in the expected inflation there is an equal increase in nominal interest rates.

As interest rates rise demand and supply for loanable funds will rise. This is illustrated in the attached diagram. Interest rate moves from i0 to i1.

Inflation is a reduction in the purchasing power of money. When inflation increases money regulation agencies reduce supply of money as a way to reduce price increase. This in turn reduces the amount of loanable funds commercial banks have to give out

Multiple Choice
A) Only processing costs are relevant
B) Only materials costs are relevant
C) Both materials costs and processing costs are relevant
D) Neither materials costs nor processing costs are relevant

Answers

Answer: B) Only materials costs are relevant

Explanation:

When choosing between alternatives, the main decider is the difference in costs. The costs that are different are the ones to decide whether a company takes on a project as it will signal the financial viability of a project.

In both alternatives, the Processing costs remain at $37,000 therefore the alternative chosen is irrelevant to these costs as they will be incurred regardless of the company's choice. They are therefore not to be considered.

Material costs on the other hand vary by the alternatives and so should be considered.

A company factored $45,000 of its accounts receivable and was charged a 4% factoring fee. The journal entry to record this transaction would include a:

a. Debit to Cash of $45,000 and a Credit to Account Receivable of $45,000

b. Debit to Cash of $46,800 and a Credit to Account Receivable of $46,800

c. Debit to Cash of $45,000 and a Credit to Notes Payable of $45,000

e. Debit to Cash of $43,2000, a Debit to Factoring Fee Expense of $1,800, and Credit to Account Receivable of $45,000

Answer:

The correct answer is option e.

Explanation:

Factoring accounts receivables means selling the claims on accounts receivables to a third party in exchange of cash. Such factoring is done to receive payment for these accounts receivables instantly and selling the claims to some other company. The factoring company charges a certain portion of accounts receivable as fee and only provides cash after deducting this percentage. This fee is an expense for a company using factoring service and is debited.

So the general entry to record factoring would be,

Cash                                       43200 Dr

Factoring fee                         1800 Dr

       Accounts receivables                 45000    Cr

Cash = 0.96 * 45000 = 43200

Factoring fee = 45000 * 0.04 = 1800

Graham Motors manufactures specialty tractors. It has two divisions: a Treactor Division and a Tire Division. The Tractor Division can use the tires produced by the Tire Division. The market price per tire is $75. The Tire Division has the following costs per tire:Direct material cost per tire: $15Conversion costs per tire: $3 (Assume the $3 includes only the variable portion of conversion costs.)Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the year is expected to total $116,000. The Tire Division expects to manufacture 58,000 tires this year. The fixed manufacturing overhead per tire is $2 ($116,000 divided by 58,000 tires).Assume that the Tire Division has excess capacity, meaning that it can produce tires for the Tractor Division without giving up any of its current tire sales to outsiders. If Graham Motors has a negotiated transfer price policy, what is the lowest acceptable transfer price? What is the highest acceptable transfer price?• The lowest acceptable transfer price is $_______, the Tire Division's ______________.• The highest acceptable transfer price is $_______, the Tire Division's _____________.

Answers

Answer:

The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 the Tire Division's variable cost per tire.

The HIGHEST acceptable transfer price is $75the Tire Division's market price.

Explanation:

Calculation for the lowest acceptable transfer price and the highest acceptable transfer price

Variable Cost per tire:

Direct Material $15

Conversion cost $3

=$18 per tire

The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 Tire division variable cost per tire

Based on the information we were told that the market price per tire is $75 which means that the HIGHEST transfer price is $75 tire division market price.

Therefore If Graham Motors has a negotiated transfer price policy The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 the Tire Division's variable cost per tire While The HIGHEST acceptable transfer price is $75 the Tire Division's market price.

Which item below is an incorrect statement about the difference between the discount rate and the federal funds rate? a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing b) The discount rate is the interest rate at which the Fed charges the bank for loans c) The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks charge each other for loans d) The discount rate is directly changed by the Fed while the federal funds rate is changed indirectly.

Answers

Answer:

a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing

Explanation:

The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.

These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.

The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).

So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct

Preferred equity = $20 M x $90 / $100 = $18 M

Total Capital = $52.5 M + $30 M + $18 M = $100.5

Now we need to calculte the Cost of each financing option

Cost of Debt

Price of Bond = C x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-n / r + Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^n

$1,050 = $60 x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-5 / YTM + $1,000 / ( 1 + YTM )^5

YTM = 4.85%

Cost of Common Equity = 12%

Cost of Preseferred Stock = $5 / $90 = 0.05556 = 5.56%

Now use following fomula to calculte the WACC

WACC = ( Common Equity weight x Cost of Common equity ) + ( Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x ( 1 - Tax rate ) + ( Weight of Preferred Shares x Cost of Preferred Shares )

Now Place all the valus in the formula

WACC = ( $30 / $100.5 x 12% ) + ( $52.5 / $100.5 x ( 1 - 40% ) x 4.85% ) + ( $18 / $100.5 x 5.56% )

WACC = 3.58% + 1.52% + 1.00% = 6.1%

Lilliput is a country that has closed borders and does not import or export any goods or services; hence, they do not worry about trade with other countries.
Total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $1.06 billion. The country collected $1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year. Assume government transfers were zero. Based on this information, what is Lilliput's budget balance? In the last fiscal year, Lilliput was running:______.
a. a budget surplus.
b. a balanced budget.
c. a budget deficit.

Answers

Answer: budget deficit

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $1.06 billion and that the country collected $1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year.

Since the expenditure of $1.06 billion is more than the revenue of $1.05 billion, this show that there was a budget deficit.

Your client in the 25% federal income tax bracket lives in a state where his earnings place him in the 6% bracket for state income tax purposes. If he were to purchase a 4% bond issued by a political subdivision of another state, his total tax-equivalent yield would be

Answers

Answer:

Slightly more than 5.33%.

Explanation:

In case when the municipal bond owned by an individual i.e. issued is not for interest free tax rate but also it is non tax on that particular state

So here the tax-equivalent yield is

= Purchase bond percentage ÷ (1 - tax rate)

= 0.04 ÷ (1 - 0.25)

= 5.33%

Hence, his total tax-equivalent yield is 5.33% i.e. calculated by applying the above formula

A practice, favored by unions, which contractually binds employers to hire only workers who are already members of the union is called a(n):

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Closed Shop.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Closed Shop" refers to a type of practice well known as "pre-entry closed shop" too that unions favored with the only purpose to obligate the companies to contract workers who are already members of the union itself so in that situation both the company and the union tend to have an agreement of maintaining certain salary price for the workers so they are not in a continous fight. Moreover, this practice allow the workers to be employed by the company only if they are members of the union and as long as they are members of it.

A project will reduce costs by $38,500 but increase depreciation by $18,300. What is the operating cash flow if the tax rate is 35 percent?

Answers

Answer:

$31,430

Explanation:

A project will reduce costs by $38,500

The project will have an increased depreciation of $18,300

The tax rate is 35%

= 35/100

= 0.35

Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Operating cash flow= reduction in project cost×(1-tax rate)+(increase in the depreciation amount ×tax rate)

= $38,500×(1-0.35)+($18,300×0.35)

= $38,500×0.65+6,405

= $25,025+$6,405

= $31,430

Hence the operating cash flow is $31,430

You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 19 percent in a booming economy, 14 percent in a normal economy, and lose 3 percent in a recessionary economy. There is 21 percent probability of a boom, 70 percent chance of a normal economy, and 9 percent chance of a recession. What is your expected rate of return on this stock?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.1352 or 13.52%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.

The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or state to occur rA, rB and so on are the return in different events  or states

r = 0.21 * 0.19  +  0.7 * 0.14  +  0.09 * -0.03

r = 0.1352 or 13.52%

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $10. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.00 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $12. The stock's beta is 1.0, rf is 16%, and E[rm] = 26%. What is the stock's abnormal return? rev: 03_30_2019_QC_CS-164617 Multiple Choice 4% 10% 6% 0%

Answers

Answer: 4%

Explanation:

Abnormal returns are the excess actual returns received over the expected return.

The actual return can be calculated as;

= [tex]\frac{New Stock price + dividends - Old Stock Price}{Old stock price}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12 - 10 + 1}{10}[/tex]

= 30%

The expected return according to CAPM;

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)

= 16% + 1 ( 26% - 16%)

= 26%

Abnormal return = 30% - 26%

= 4%
