Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400

The payback period is the time required to recover for the initial investment:

Year 1= 6,600 - 27,250= -20,650

Year 2= 8,700 - 20,650= -11,950

Horse and Buggy Inc. is in a declining industry. Sales, earnings, and dividends are all shrinking at a rate of 10% per year. a. If r = 15% and DIV1 = $3, what is the value of a share?

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the share is shown below:

Value of the share is

= Dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - shrinking rate)

where,

The Dividend is $3

The Required rate of return is 15%

And the shrinking rate is 10%

Now placing these values to the above formula

= $3 ÷ (15% - (-10%)

= $3 ÷ 25%

n January 1, 1987, three 100 par value bonds with 6% annual coupons will mature at the end of 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively. The redemption value of each bond is 100. You are given that the prices for these bonds on January 1, 1987 are: Maturity Date Price December 31, 1987 101.92 December 31, 1988 102.84 December 31, 1989 105.51 These prices are based on an interest rate of i in 1987, j in 1988, and k in 1989. Determine j.

Answers

Answer:

j = 4.52%

Explanation:

face value = $100, with 6% annual coupons

bond₁ matures in 1 year (December 31, 1987), market price $101.92

bond₂ matures in 2 years (December 31, 1988), market price $102.84

bond₃ matures in 3 years (December 31, 1989), market price $105.51

we must determine the market interest rate (j) for bond₂, and to do this we will use the approximate yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market price)/n]} / [(face value + market price)/2]

YTM = {6 + [(100 - 102.84)/2]} / [(100 + 102.84)/2] = 4.58 / 101.42 = 0.045158 = 4.52%

Since the bonds are sold at a premium, it means that the coupon rate is higher than the market rate.

What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 3,100 machine-hours rather than 3,200 machine-hours

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable overhead= $45,760

Total fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead cost= $75,360

First, we need to calculate the  variable predetermined overhead rate:

Variable predetermined overhead rate= 45,760/3,200= $14.3 per machine hour

Now, for 3,100 hours:

Variable overhead= 14.3*3,100= $44,330

Fixed overhead= $29,600

Total overhead= $73,930

In the consensus case, what is Amazon's enterprise value on the valuation date using the exit multiple terminal value

Answers

Answer:

The exit multiple expect that the market different premise is a reasonable strategy for esteeming a business. The estimation of the business is gotten by duplicating money related measurements, for example, EBITDA or EBIT by a factor that is basic to practically identical organizations that were as of late procured. A fitting scope of products can be created by taking a gander at late equivalent acquisitions in the open market.  

The various acquired is then increased by the anticipated EBIT or EBITDA in year N (last year of projection period) to give the future incentive toward the finish of year N. The future value (otherwise called terminal value) is then limited by a factor equivalent to the quantity of years in the projection time frame.  

The worth got is then added to the current estimation of the free incomes to acquire the suggested venture esteem. For repetitive organizations where profit vacillate as per varieties in the economy, we utilize the normal EBITDA or EBIT over the span of the particular recurrent as opposed to the sum in year N in the projection time frame.  

This implies an industry different is applied as opposed to applying a current numerous to consider the recurrent varieties of profit. On the off chance that investigators utilized a current numerous, the valuation would be influenced by financial cycles.

A Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is used to value a business by dividing its enterprise value by its annual revenue. The formula to calculate the Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is EV/Revenue

EV = Enterprise Value

EV can be denoted as (Equity Value + All Debt + Preferred Shares) – (Cash and Equivalents)

While Revenue = Total Annual Revenue

This can be calculated when we have a share price, shares outstanding, debt, and cash or its equivalence.

Company ABC is required to pay their customers $20,000 after 3 years. Based on an annual effective interest rate of 4%, Andy, the company’s actuary, uses full immunization strategy to construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond. Calculate the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met.

Answers

Answer:

Par amount = $9,615.39

Explanation:

The condition that must hold in order to meet full immunization are as follows:

Condition 1: PV(assets) = PV(liabilities)

Condition 2: MD(assets) = MD(liabilities) or P'assets = P'liabilities

Condition 3: There is one asset cash inflow before the liability cash outflow, and there is also one asset cash inflow after the liability cash outflow.

Where PV denotes Present Value and MD denotes Macaulay Duration.

PV(liabilities) = Amount required to pay / (1 + i)^n ............ (1)

Where;

Amount required to pay = $20,000

i = interest rate = 4%

n = number of years after = 3 years

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV(liabilities) = $20,000 / (1 + 4%)^3 = 17,779.93

Let;

A = Weight of two-year-zero-coupon bond in the portfolio

n = Macaulay Duration of n-year-zero-coupon bond

Therefore, we can construct a portfolio of assets using a 2-year zero-coupon bond and a 4-year zero-coupon bond as follows:

A(2) + (1 – A)(4) = 3

2A + 4 – 4A = 3

2A – 4A = 3 – 4

-2A = - 1

A = -1/-2

A = 0.5

We can now calculate the par amount as follows:

Par amount = PV(liabilities) * A * (1 + i)^t .............. (2)

Where t = 2 as the duration of the bond

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * (1 + 4%)^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.04^2

Par amount = 17,779.93 * 0.5 * 1.0816

Par amount = $9,615.39

Therefore, the par amount for the 2-year zero-coupon bond assuming full immunization is met is $9,615.39.

A project has cash flows of -152,000, 60,800, 62300, and 75000 for years 0 to 3 respectively. The required rate of return is 13 years percent. Based on the internal rate of return of__________percent, you should________the project.

Answers

Answer:

Based on the IRR of 14.05 percent, you  should be accept the project

Explanation:

Internal rate of Return is the discount rate of that equates the present value of cash inflows to the initial cost. It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to evaluate a project without causing harm to the shareholders.

It is calculated as follows:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of cash inflows - initial cost

Step 1: NPVa at 13% discount rate

PV of cash inflow =  60,800× 1.13^(-1) + 62300 ×1.13^(-2) +   75000 ×1.13^(-3)

                           =  154,574.11  

NPVa =  154,574.11   - 152000 =  2,574.11  

Step 2: NPVb  at 20%

PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.20^(-1) + 62300 ×1.20^(-2) +   75000 ×1.20^(-3)   =  137,333.33  

NPVb =  137,333.33   - 152,000 =  (14,666.67)

Step 3: IRR

IRR = 13% + ( 2,574.11  /(2,574.11  + 14,666.67) )× (20-13)%

IRR = 14.05%

Based on the IRR of 14.05%, the project you  should be accept the project

Since the IRR (14.05%) is greater than the required rate rate (13%) , the project should be accepted. An IRR which is  higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would increase the wealth of the shareholders

A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 9.6%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.

Solution

Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium

Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%

Cost of equity = 9.6%

McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.70 per share with the first dividend exactly 14 years from today. If the required return is 3.6 percent, what is the current price of the stock?

Answers

Answer:

$64.89

Explanation:

Calculation for the current price of the stock

First step is to find the preference stock value at end of 13 years

Using this formula

P13= Annual dividend/Required return

Let plug in the formula

P13=$3.70/.036

P13= $102.78

The second step is to calculate for the current price of the stock

Using this formula

P0= P13/(1+Required return)^Dividend years

Let plug in the formula

P0= $102.78/(1 + .036)^13

P0=$102.78/(1.036)^13

P0=$102.78/1.5837

P0=$64.89

Therefore the current price of the stock will be $64.89

79.1%

Explanation:

Hoosier manufacturing operates a production shop that is modelled to have the lowest unit of production

The output rate is 145 units per hour

In the month of July the company operated the production line for 265 hours

30,400 units of output were produced

Therefore, the capacity utilization rate can be calculated as follows

= 30,400 units/265 hours ×145

= 30,400/38,425

= 0.791×100

= 79.1%

Hence the capacity utilization rate for the month is 79.1%

Ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. Selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. Cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.

Answers

Answer:

a) Jill's

beginning inventory = $44,500

purchases  = $88,500 - $5,900 - $840 = $81,760

transportation in expenses = $1,180

total inventory costs = $127,440

cost of goods sold = $91,300

ending inventory = $127,440 - $91,300 = $36,140

b) Ken's

beginning inventory = $8,000

purchases = $36,900 - $1,200 - $360 = $38,460

transportation in expenses = $900

total inventory costs = $47,360

cost of goods sold = $33,900

ending inventory = $47,360 - $33,900 = $13,460

Suppose purchasing power parity holds. If the price level in the United States is 100 dollars per good and the price level in Japan is 250 yen per good, then the nominal exchange rate is ________ yen per dollar.

Answers

Answer: 2.5 Yen

Explanation;

The Economic theory of Purchasing Power Parity when held, believes that prices of goods in different countries are the same if their exchange rates are taken into account.

For the above therefore it means that the price of the good is the same in both the US and Japan barring exchange rates.

Exchange rate is;

$100 = ¥250

$1 = 250/100

$1 = ¥2.5

Exchange rate is 2.5 yen per dollar.

What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 6.60%? The bond has 19 years to maturity.

Answers

Answer:

$296.90

Explanation:

For computing the value of the zero coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 6.60%

NPER = 19 years

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the value of zero coupon bond is would be $296.90

The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually: Select one: a. The competitive pressures that stem from ready availability b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage c. The competitive pressures associated with the potential entry of new competitors d. The bargaining power and leverage that large customers are able to exercise

Answers

Answer:

b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage.

Explanation:

The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.

The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:

1. The bargaining power of suppliers.

2. The bargaining power of customers.

3. Threat posed by substitute products.

4. Threats posed by new entrants.

5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.

The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.

If stock A does not pay dividend, it will attract capital appreciation which compensates for the unpaid dividends since the company has increased assets over liabilities.  When the assets grow more than the liabilities from the reinvestment of the profits, the net value of the business which is the equity increases.  This capital growth belongs to the stockholders and  is distributable to them in the form of the future price of the stock, which appreciates with the capital growth.
