Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

The computation of the capitalized cost of the land is shown below:-

Capitalized cost of the land = Purchase price + Demolition of building + Title insurance + Attorney fee + Property taxes covered during the period - Scrap value from the building

= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + ($3,000 - $500) - $1,500

= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + $2,500 - $1,500

= $435,400 - $1,500

= $433,900

Radoski Corporation's bonds make an annual coupon interest payment of 7.35% every year. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, a current price of $1,470, and mature in 12 years. What is the yield to maturity on these bonds

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2.71 percent

Explanation:

The interest payment is annually.

N(Number of periods) = 12 years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $1,470

PMT( coupon payment) = $73.5 ( [7.35 percent x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 12; PV = -1470 ; PMT = 73.5; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 2.71

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 2.71 percent

Your grandfather has great faith in bonds and has heard about some "high yield bonds" that are available. He has asked you for your opinion. What advice will you give him?

Answers

Answer: That they are risky

Explanation:

Bonds tend to give a low return compared to other investments such as stocks which is because they offer a constant payout. However even with bonds there will still be those that promise a higher return than the others and this is because they are riskier.

Bonds are debt instruments which means that the rate they pay is directly related to the risk attached. This is because the interest payment is meant to compensate you for the risk you are taking by getting that bond.

If the yield/return is high it would therefore follow that the risk Is high as well. Your Grandfather should therefore be aware of this risk before investing because riskier bonds might not pay back.

XYZ, Inc. has a beta of 0.8. The yield on a 3-month T-bill is 5%, and the yield on a 10-year T-bond is 7%. The market risk premium is 5.5%, and the return on an average stock in the market last year was 20%. What is the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM? Show your work

Answers

Answer:

the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.

Explanation:

Cost of Equity = Return on the Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio

                       = 7.00 % +  0.8 × 5.5%

                       = 11.40 %

The estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.

Calculation of the cost of common equity;

Since the return on risk-free rate is 7%, beta is 0.8 and, the market risk premium is 5.5%

So here the cost of common equity should be

= Return on the Risk Free + Beta × Market risk premium

= 7.00 % +  0.8 × 5.5%

= 11.40 %

Hence, The estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM is 11.40 %.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $27,600,000

Unitary variable cost= $805

Unit selling price= $1,150

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= 27,600,000 / (1,150 - 805)

Break-even point in units= 80,000 units

Desired income= $5,175,000

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (27,600,000 + 5,175,000) / 345

Break-even point in units= 95,000 units

Imputed Interest

First step

Using this formula

Imputed interest=(Present Value /1+Yield to maturity)^Numberd of years

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n

0 20 (1/1.08)^20= $ 214.54

1 19 (1/1.08)^19=$ 231.71

2 18 (1/1.08)^18=$ 250.24

19 1 (1/1.08)^1=$ 925.92

20 0 (1/1.08)^0=$ 1,000

Second step is to find the Imputed interest for the first year, second year; and the last year of the bond’s life

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n =Imputed Interest

0 20 $ 214.54

1 19 $ 231.71 $17.17

($231.71-$214.54)= $17.17

2 18 $ 250.24 $18.53

($250.24-$231.71)=$18.53

19 1 $ 925.92

20 0 $ 1,000 $74.08

($1,000-$925.92) =$74.08

Therefore the imputed interest will be:

3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"

Have they outlived their usefulness?

No.

The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness.  They remain very useful and relevant to our world today.  The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch.  They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.

But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries.  Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best.  Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes.  There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.

In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental.  While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises.  This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt.  National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.

Explanation:

The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries.  It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity.  The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

Fresh Veggies, Inc. (FVI), purchases land and a warehouse for $410,000. In addition to the purchase price, FVI makes the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker's commission, $21,000; title insurance, $1,100; and miscellaneous closing costs, $4,200. The warehouse is immediately demolished at a cost of $21,000 in anticipation of building a new warehouse. Determine the amount FVI should record as the cost of the land.

Answers

Answer:

$457,300

Explanation:

FVI purchased a land and warehouse at the cost of $410,000

The following expenditures were incurred

Broker's commission = $21,000

Title insurance= $1,100

Miscellaneous closing costs= $4,200

Demolition of the warehouse= $21,000

Therefore, the amount in which FVI should record as cost of the land can be calculated as follows

=$410,000+$21,000+$1,100+$4,200+$21,000

= $457,300

Hence the amount that FVI should record as the cost of the land is $457,300

Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?

Answers

Answer:

The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%

Explanation:

Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence

$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20

(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5

(1 + r)10 = $4.4

Taking 10th root at each side,

(1 + r)10 = $4.4  

[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]

1+r = 1.1597

r = 1.1597 -  1

r = 0.1597

r= 15.97%

Expected profit = $298.75 million

Explanation:

To calculate the expected return or expected profits, we will simply multiply the probability of each event by the return expected in that event and take a sum the answers. Thus, the expected profit can be calculated as follows,

Expected profit = Probability of recession ending * Profit if recession ends + Probability of recession not ending * profit or loss if recession does not end

Expected profit = $298.75 million

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answers

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share

Let plug in the formula

Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000

Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0

Maximum possible gain=$4,400

perline, inc., has balance sheet equity of $6.2 million.At the same time, the income statement shows net income of $948600. The company paid dividends of $493272 and has 100000 shares of stock outstanding. If the benchmark PE ratio is 26, what is the target stock price in one year?

Answers

Answer:

The target stock price in one year is $264.75

Explanation:

We first calculate the ROE as below

ROE= Earnings / Book value of Equity

ROE= $948,600 / $6,200,000

ROE= 0.153

The payout ratio is:

b=  Dividend / Net income

b = $493,272 / $948,600

b = 0.52

So the sustainable growth rate is:

g = ROE * (1-b)

g = 0.153 * (1-0.52)

g = 0.153 * 0.48

g = 0.07344

The earning in the first year are

EPS1 = $948,600 / 100,000  * (1 + 0.07344)

EPS1 = $9.486 * 1.07344

EPS1 = $10.1827

According to the benchmark PE ratio, the target stock price in one year is

Price = EPS1 * 26

Price = $10.1827 * 26

Price = $264.75

A company decides not to pay dividends to stockholders, but the company is requested to pay interest to debt holders. What does this mean about the performance of the company?

Answers

Answer: Poor Performance

Explanation:

Options are not available but the foremost reason why a company would decline to pay dividends but still be requested to pay interest to debt holders is that they performed poorly.

Dividends are based on how much net income the company got for the period and so if a company performs poorly, they should not pay out dividends as it will put them in financial difficulty.

Interest payments however have to be paid regardless of if the company made a profit or not. So even if the company performed poorly, they would still be requested to pay interest to debt holders.

Answers

Answer:

b. Reducing the cost of delivering care

Explanation:

Not a lot of information is included, but some things apply to all types of businesses:

you can maximize profits by minimizing costs (this is a valid option).you cannot maximize your profits by lowering the quality of your products or services, since that will result in lost customers.reducing the costs charged for services will increase your profits only if it results in a larger increase in the quantity demanded, so this doesn't always apply.

Answer:

Option  D is correct

Machine B is the best investment

Explanation:

The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.  

The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:

Accounting rate of return  =

Annual operating income/Average investment × 100

To determine the the machine with the best return,we would compute the average annual return of all of the machines and then choose the machine with the highest return

This is done as follows:

Machine             Working s                                   Average annul rate

A                   45,192.56/322,804.00 ×   100 =      14.0%

B                64,695.00/215,650.00 ×   100=           30.0%

C                  60,929.70/406,198.00×   100 =          15.0%

Machine B is the best investment
