Answer: D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Explanation:
A "cash-out" refinancing loan refers to when a person replaces the mortgage that they have on a house with a newer, larger mortgage than the balance of the previous mortgage on the house.
The difference between this new mortgage and the old one can then be withdrawn in cash.
This would attract a higher mortgage insurance premium because the value of debt has now increased because as earlier mentioned, the new mortgage will be larger than the previous one so to cater for this, the insurance premiums will rise.

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.
In the Vaughn Manufacturing, indirect labor is budgeted for $108000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $36000 at normal capacity of 160000 direct labor hours. If 170000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is:
Answer:Flexible budget =$ 150,750
Explanation:
Variable overhead rate = $108,000 / 160000 = $ 0.675 per hour
(budgeted supervision cost) Fixed overhead = $ 36,000
Flexible budget = Variable over head rate x direct labour + budgeted supervision cost (fixed overhead)
0.675 x 170,000+ 36,000
= 114,750+36,000
=$ 150,750

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
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

Answer:
The amount of accrued interest payable that B should report in its September 30, 2021, balance sheet is $ 23,833.
Explanation:
Prepare a Bond Amortization Schedule using the data :
Hint : First find the Yield to Maturity
N = 10
PV = $650,000
Pmt = ($650,000 × 11%) ÷ 2 = - $35,750
P/ yr = 2
FV = - $650,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 11.64%.
By the end of September 30, 2021, 8 months` interest will have expired.Thus the amortization schedule should accrue interest for 8 months as follows :
Interest $ 23,833 (debit)
Investment in Bond $ 23,833 (credit)
Interest Calculation = $ 35,750 × 8 / 12
= $ 23,833

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.22 million
Explanation:
The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:
Cost of capital -discount rate -
WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd
After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56
WACC = (0.71×3.56 %) + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %
PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7
PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32
Initial cost = 9.1 million
NPV = 10.32 - 9.1 = 1.22 million
NPV = $1.22 million
Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Williamsburg Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $68,830, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the approximate amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2?
Answer:
$54,639
Explanation:
the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows
DATA
Annual payments = 68,830
Implicit rate = 8%
Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710
Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )
Year 1 Year 2
Opening balance - $177,382(w)
interest - $14,191(w)
payments $68,830 $68,830
principal payments $68,830 $54,639
closing balance $177,382(w) $122,743
Working
Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment
Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830
Closing balance = $177,382
Interest = closing balance x implicit rate
Interest = $177,382 x 8%
Interest = $14,190.56
ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Probability assigned:|
x 30 60 120 180
P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Answer:
Jane
Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:
$3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected Sales volume:
Number of Tubes x 30 60 120 180
Probability P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Expected values 3 24 48 18
Total = 93 tubes
Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23
b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily. The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.
