Answer: $18.88
Explanation:
The dividends are being paid quaterly so in other to use those dividends, the cost of capital will have to be converted to a quaterly rate as well.
[tex]( 1 + r )^{4} = 1.124[/tex]
r = [tex]\sqrt[4]{1.124} - 1[/tex]
r = 2.966%
Using the Dividend discount model, the price per share is;
= Next Dividend / ( cost of capital - growth rate)
= 0.56 / 0.02966
= $18.88
Note; there is no growth rate as the company will pay that dividend forever.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00% The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years. Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model
Answer:
Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4
Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00
Year Sales volume Unit Cost Cost per Unit
(units) selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00 $64.00 $2560000
Year 2 50,000 $75.00 $60.00 $3000000
Year 3 35,000 $50.00 $40.00 $1400000
Year 4 25,000 $45.00 $36.00 $900000
Total: 150000 $7860000
Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost
Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4
Earnings per Share, Price-Earnings Ratio, Dividend Yield The following information was taken from the financial statements of Tolbert Inc. for December 31 of the current fiscal year:
Common stock, $25 par value (no change during the year) $5,500,000
Preferred $5 stock, $100 par (no change during the year) 3,000,000
The net income was $502,000 and the declared dividends on the common stock were $55,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $13.60 per share. For the common stock
Determine:
a. the earnings per share
b. the price-earnings ratio
c. the dividends per share
d. the dividend yield.
Answer:
a. the earnings per share is $2.28
b. the price-earnings ratio is 5.96 times
c. the dividends per share is $0.25
d. the dividend yield is 1.84%
Explanation:
a. the earnings per share
Earning per share is the net earning of the company against each outstanding share.
Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares
Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)
Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28
b. the price-earnings ratio
Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.
Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share
Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28
Price earning Ratio = 5.96
c. the dividends per share
Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.
Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares
Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares
Dividend per share = $0.25 per share
d. the dividend yield.
Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.
Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share
Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%

The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is 0.893, 0.797, 0.712, and 0.636, respectively. Determine the net present value. $
Answer: $18,848
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of a project is the difference between the present values of the cash outflows and inflows.
Present Values of the Cash flows;
Year 1
= 150,000 * 0.893
= $133,950
Year 2
= 130,000 * 0.797
= $103,610
Year 3
=104,000 * 0.712
= $74,048
Year 4
= 90,000 * 0.636
= $57,240
Net Present Value = Cash inflows - Outflow
= 133,950 +103,610 + 74,048 + 57,240 - 350,000
= $18,848

Ray's Satellite Emporium wishes to determine the best order size for its best-selling satellite dish (model TS111). Ray has estimated the annual demand for this model at 1,500 units. His cost to carry one unit is $80 per year per unit, and he has estimated that each order costs $22 to place.
Using the EOQ model, how many should Ray order each time?
Answer:
28.72 units
Explanation:
Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model
Using this formula
EOQ= √2DS/H
Where,
D=Annual demand 1,500 units
S=Order costs $22
H=Holding Costs $80 per unit
Let plug in the formula
EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80
EOQ=√66,000/$80
EOQ=√825
EOQ=28.72 units
Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.
Krystal is 47 years old and single. She is a high school principal, making $75,000 a year. She currently owns a 401(k) valued at $85,000. Krystal would like to retire at age 65 with $1.2 million in her retirement nest egg. She plans to contribute $12,000 a year to her retirement fund, growing at 10%.Required:a. Will Krystal reach her goal? Justify your answer by using the Investment Calculator on Foundations U b. If she won't reach her goal, what needs to change in order for her to reach it? c. Is it really possible to get 10% growth in an investment fund? How?
Answer:
a) Krystal's account balance when she is 65:
$75,000 x (1 + 10%)¹⁸ = $416,993.80
$12,000 x 45.599 (FV annuity factor, 10%, 18 periods) = $547,188
total account balance = $964,181.80
Krystal will not reach her goal.
b) she need to save $1,200,000 - $964,181.80 = $235,818.20
she will need to save an extra $235,818.20 / 45.599 = $5,171.57 per year
her total contributions per year = $12,000 + $5,171.57 = $17,171.57
c) The historical growth rate of the S&P 500 is 12%, so it is really possible to earn at least 10%. Maybe the stock market is not going well right now, but you must remember that retirement accounts are long term accounts and last for many years. The market will have time to bounce back.
ignoring taxes what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer: C. $40 million.
Explanation:
By granting them 15 million shares subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years, the company is compensating them.
The total amount that they will be compensated with has to be apportioned over the 3 years as an expense that will reduce earnings per year.
Total compensation = No. of shares * fair value of shares
= 15,000,000 * 8
= $120,000,000
Apportioned over 3 years;
= 120,000,000/3
= $40,000,000

Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 54,000
May 75,000
June 94,000
July 82,000
Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.
To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 54,000
Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000
Beginning inventory= (10,800)
Total= 58,200 units
May:
Sales= 75,000
Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800
Beginning inventory= (15,000)
Total= 78,800 units
June:
Sales= 94,000
Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400
Beginning inventory= (18,800)
Total= 91,600 units
Total for the quarter= 228,600 units
In the above case, Sales in Units in the month of April is 54,000, in the month of May is 75,000, in the month of June is 94,000 and in the month of July is 82,000.
What is sales?A sale is defined as a transaction between the parties in which the purchaser acquires goods, services, or assets in return for money. In some cases, other assets are pay off to a seller.
Computation of production:
According to the available information,
Desirable closing inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.
To calculate the production in each month, the formula is:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}[/tex]
Production in the month of April:
According to the given information,
Sales= 54,000
Ending inventory:
[tex]=75,000\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\= 15,000[/tex]
Beginning inventory= 10,800
Now, apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =54,000+15,000-10,800\\\\\text{Production}=58,200\text{Units}[/tex]
Production in the month of May:
Sales= 75,000
Ending inventory:
[tex]=94,000\times \frac{20}{100}\\\\= 18,800[/tex]
Beginning inventory= 15,000
Now, apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =75,000+18,800-15,000\\\\\text{Production}=78,800\text{Units}[/tex]
Production in the month of June:
Sales= 94,000
Ending inventory:
[tex]872,000\times\dfrac{20}{100}= 16,400[/tex]
Beginning inventory= 18,800
Now, apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =94,000+16,400-18,800\\\\\text{Production}=91,600\text{Units}[/tex]
Therefore, the Total for the quarter :
[tex]=\text{May's Production + June's Production+Juily's Production}\\\\=58,200+78,800+91,600 \text{Units}\\= 228,600 \text{Units}[/tex]

A stock had returns of 9.62 percent, −14.65 percent, 19.85 percent, 25.35 percent, and 7.65 percent over the past five years. What was the geometric average return for this stock?
Answer:
The geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
Explanation:
Geometric average return refers to the return which will result in the correct compounded dollars at the end of the time period.
Geometric average return can be computed using the following formula:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + r1)(1 + r2) ... (1 + rn)]^(1/n)} - 1 ......... (1)
Where r is returns from year 1 to year n.
For the stock in the question, we have:
r1 = 9.62%, 0.0962
r2 = -14.65%, or -0.1465
r3 = 19.85%, or 0.1985
r4 = 25.35%, or 0.2535
r5 = 7.65%, or 0.0765
n = 5
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + 0.0962)(1 - 0.1465)(1 + 0.1985)(1 + 0.2535)(1 + 0.0765)]^(1/5)} - 1
Geometric average return = {1.51310732605096^0.20} - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0864, or 8.64%
Therefore, the geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.

The company's variable costs per unit and total fixed costs have been constant from month to month. What is the net operating income for the month under variable costing?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price $118
Units sold 2,300
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $37
Direct labor $23
Variable manufacturing overhead $3
Variable selling and administrative expense $5
First, we need to determine the total unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 37 + 23 + 3 + 5=$68
Variable cost income statement:
Sales= 2,300*118= 271,400
Total variable cost= 68*2,300= (156,400)
Total contribution margin= 115,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (73,500)
Fixed selling and administrative expense= (29,900)

an investment under consideration has a payback of six years and a cost of 876000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the worst-case NPV?
Answer:
-43291.14
Explanation:
Npv = net present value
Payback = 6 years
Required return = 12 percent
Cost = 876000
When we talk about last case npv we mean that cash flow has gotten to its last future. The entire cost of 876000 will have to be paid after 6 years and after that future cash flows would exist.
Npv = -876000 +(876000/1.12)⁶
= -876000+443808.86
= = -43291.14
Potential output: $8 trillion Actual output: $6 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 400 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2010
Answer:
The structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$400 billion = G - (0.15)($6000 billion)
$400 billion = G - $900 billion
G = $400 billion + $900 billion
G = $1300 billion
Thus, Government spending is $1300 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(8000 billion)
T' = $1200 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $1300 billion - $1200 billion
Structural deficit = $100 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
Rather than crediting the Unearned rent account for $400 of prepaid rent received from a customer, which explains an alternate recording procedure to journalize this receipt?
Answer:
Record receipt with a credit to the rent revenue account
Any unused portion of the prepayment still existing at the end of the period will be transferred to the Unearned rent account
Explanation:
Prepaid rent is an income that is to be earned at a future date. Since income is normally recorded as a revenue when it is earned, we usually credit Unearned Rent account.
However financial statements are made at end of a defined period (for example monthly, quarterly, biannually, or yearly).
The journal entry can be credited to the Rent Revenue account directly. At the end of the period the amount earned is retained in the account, and the unearned portion of the prepaid rent is transferred to the Unearned Rent account.
So financial statements will only recognise earned income when prepared.
A stock is bought for $24.00 and sold for $26.00 one year later, immediately after it has paid a dividend of $1.50. What is the capital gain rate for this transaction?
Answer:
8.33%
Explanation:
A stock is bought for $23.00
The stock is sold for $26 after one year
The dividend paid is $1.50
Therefore, the capital gain rate can be calculated as follows
Capital gain= P1-Po/Po
= 26-24/24
= 2/24
= 0.0833 ×100
= 8.33%
Hence the capital gain rate for this transaction is 8.33%
"A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 4 years at 105. The taxable gain or loss is a:"
Answer:
2 point capital gain
Explanation:
Every municipal bond that is purchased at premium is subject to straight line depreciation, whether the premium be trading premium or original issue premium.
Here the premium is 5 points = 105 - 100
Which shall be amortised over its useful life of 10 years.
Thus, for each year 1/2 point is amortised without allowing any tax deduction.
Thus, after 4 years total amortisation = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 4years = 2[/tex]
Thus, value at end of year 4 = 105 - 2 = 103 basis point.
Further the selling amount = 105 basis point.
Thus, 105 - 103 = 2 basis point shall be taxable.
Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000
Explanation:
Net Income $1,250,000
To Preferred Shareholders $175,000
Net income available to $1,075,000
common stockholders
Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock
Basic earnings per share = $1,075,000 / 380,000
Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.
The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Policy makers have changed their focus from keeping inflation from getting too high to keeping inflation from getting too low because
Options:
a. technology has changed the structural economy so much that asset inflation is no longer a concern.
b. historically there has been asset deflation and now there is asset inflation.
c. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation which can lead to overall deflation.
d. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation
Answer:
c. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation which can lead to overall deflation.
Explanation:
Unexpectedly, during the 2008 financial crises that had a firm grip on the US economy. Economist observed a trend of asset deflation.
For example, the real estate sector saw a reduction in the general level of prices homes in the economy. Thus, this meant that a too low inflation would lead to overall deflation, and it was a concern for policy makers.
Suppose Cho is considering emigrating from her home country.A fictional country of Flaxon has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country, except that it has greater price stability. If Cho's decision to emigrate is based solely on the prospects for economic growth, she would
Answer: Migrate to Flaxon
Explanation:
If Flaxon country has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country but also has greater price stability, Cho would emigrate if she wanted more economic growth because Price stability contributes to the growth of the economy.
Price stability means that the country is not going to experience inflation (deflation) that is too high (low) and lasts too long as well as one that is erratic.
This benefits the economy because;
Savings will not be easily eroded by inflation.Decisions can be made easier as inflation rates can be better predictable. For instance, people can save or invest at a particular rate that they know will bring them real return as it will be over the inflation rate. Unexpected deflation will not cause companies to make losses which can increase unemployment and company shutdowns and,Financial institutions can borrow out loans at more stable rates for investments because in a less stable market they would have to charge higher rates to ensure that they do not make losses should inflation change. These stable rates will attract companies and individuals who will use the funds for investment and improve the economy.good is excludable if: a. it is Wi-Fi or a similar service. b. people who do not pay cannot be easily prevented from using the good. c. one person's use of the good does not reduce the ability of another person to use the same good. d. people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good. (d)
Explanation:
Excludable goods or services are those to which the consumer cannot have access unless payment of some form is made. By contrast, a non-excludable good or service is one to which the consumer cannot be prevented from using even without payment. Excludable goods can be further divided into rivalrous and non-rivalrous.
A rivalrous excludable good or service is one in which usage by a consumer or usage by one party prevents or reduces significantly, its use by another consumer or party examples are goods such as clothes, food, cars etc, while non-rivalrous excludable goods/services include tv subscriptions, cinemas, etc.
