project that has an expected return of 25% and a standard deviation of 30%. What is the project's coefficient of variation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1.2

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Variation tells the accuracy of the mean. If it is high then there is a large dispersion around the mean. A smaller figure indicates that the mean is more accurate/ precise.

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation / Expected Return

Coefficient of Variation = 30%/25%

Coefficient of Variation = 1.2

Burnett Corp. pays a constant $8.15 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 12 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer:

$52.91

Explanation:

With regards to the above, we will apply the dividend discount model to come up with the price for share.

Under the dividend discount model, the price for share represents the present value of all its future dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

Since the share has 12 annual equal dividend payments of 8.15 each year, while the required rate is 11%, we can apply the below annuity to arrive at the share price.

(8.15/0.11) × [ 1- 1.11^(-12) ] = $52.91

Therefore, the current share price is $52.91

Ultimate Butter Popcorn issues 5%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $58,000. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 5%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price will the bonds issue

Answers

Answer:

So, the bonds will issue at par which means that they will issue at their face value of $58000

Explanation:

If the coupon rate paid by the bond and the market interest rates are same, the bonds are always issued at par. We can check this through the following.

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.05 * 1/2 * 58000 = $1450

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 5% * 1/2 = 2.5% or 0.025

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 1450 * [( 1 - (1+0.025)^-30) / 0.025]  +  58000 / (1+0.025)^30

Bond Price = $58000

Two mutually exclusive projects have an initial cost of $60,000 each. Project A produces cash inflows of $30,000, $37,000, and $20,000 for Years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflow of $80,000 in Year 2 only. The required rate of return is 10 percent for Project A and 11 percent for Project B. Which project(s) should be accepted and why

Answers

Answer:

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

Explanation:

Net present value van be used to determine which project should be accepted.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $20,000

I = 10%

NPV = $12,877.54

For project B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $0

Cash flow in year 2 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $0

I = 11%

NPV = $4,929.79

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

To record the purchase transaction we need to enter the transaction in the vendors and purchase option and then we need to create separate bills for our part cash payment and part credit payment separately.

Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,820 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 8% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually.

Answers

Answer:

A.9.2%

B.8.16%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill

First step

T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value

Let plug in the formula

T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820

T-bill =$2,180/$97,820

T-bill =0.02228

Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100

Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%

B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .

First step

Semi-annual return=8%/2

Semi-annual return=4%

Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate

Using this formula

Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1

Let plug in the formula

Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1

Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100

Effective annual interest rate=8.16%

Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

Answers

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million.  The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts.  Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average.  This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

Sound Systems (SS) has 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $37 a share. SS recently paid an annual dividend in the amount of $1.20 per share. The dividend growth rate is 4 percent. SS also has 4,500 bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,000 per bond that are selling at 99 percent of par. The bonds have a 6 percent coupon and a 6.7 percent yield to maturity. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 6.31 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the return required by the providers of long term permanent source of capital to the firm.

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kp × (P/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of equity

    = $1.20 / $37.00 + 0.04

    = 0.0724 or 7.24 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = (200,000 × $37) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $7,400,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 62.42 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

    = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

    = 6.70 % × (1 - 0.34)

    = 4.42 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

      = (4,500 × $1,000 × 99%) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $4,455,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 37.28 %

Therefore,

WACC = 7.24 % × 62.42 % +  4.42 % × 37.28 %

           = 6.31 %

An increase in input prices causes:___________
a) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price downward.
b) the market supply to shift outward, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
c) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
d) the supply curve to decrease and the demand curve to decrease.

Answers

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.

A stock is selling today for $40 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $2 per share and sells for $44. a. What is the total rate of return on the stock?

Answers

Answer:

The total rate of return on the stock is 14%.

Explanation:

The sources of income from a stock are dividends and increase in its value. Therefore, the total rate of return on stock is calculated by dividing the addition of appreciation in the of the stock and dividends paid by the original stock price.

Therefore, the total rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the following formula:

Total rate of return = [(P1 - Po) + D] / Po .......................... (1)

Where;

P1 = Ending stock price = $44

Po = Initial stock price = $40

D = Dividend paid = $2

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

Total rate of return = [(44 - 40) + 2] / 44

Total rate of return = [4 + 2] / 44

Total rate of return = 6 / 44

Total rate of return = 0.14, or 14%

"A customer who is short 1 ABC Jan 65 Call wishes to create a "short call spread." The second option position that the customer must take is:"

Answers

Answer:

long 1 ABC Jan 75 Call

Explanation:

This type of customer (or investor) is bearish about the market, i.e. he/she believes that the stock prices will drop. The investor will try to create a net credit position (the credit spread = $75 - $65). The maximum possible profit is created when the stock price falls below $65, and the maximum possible loss would occur if the price went above $75. This investor is a net seller, since it is a short call spread.

Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9​%. The​ risk-free rate of return is 3.7​% and General Motors has a beta of 1.7. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model​ (CAPM), what is its expected​ return?

Answers

Answer:

19%

Explanation:

The market risk premium is 9%

The risk free rate of return is 3.7%

General motors have a beta of 1.7

Therefore, using the capital asset pticing model the expected return can be calculated as follows

= 3.7% + 1.7×9%

= 3.7% + 15.3%

= 19%

Hence the expected return is 19%

A firm has a required return of 14.2% and a beta of 1.63. If the risk-free rate is currently 5.4%, what is the expected return to the market? Assume that CAPM is correct.

Answers

Answer:

10.8%

Explanation:

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Expected rate - Risk free rate )

14.2% = 5.4% + 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

14.2% - 5.4% = 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

8.8% / 1.63 = market rate - 5.4%

5.4% = market rate - 5.4%

Market rate = 5.4% + 5.4%

Market rate = 10.8%

Market rate = 10.8%

Jim and Kay Ross contributed to the support of their two children, Dale and Kim, and Jim's widowed parent, Grant. During the year, Dale, a 19-year-old full-time college student, earned $5,500 as a babysitter. Kim, a 23-year-old bank teller, earned $12,000. Grant received $5,000 in dividend income and $4,000 in nontaxable Social Security benefits (dividends, but not social security benefits, will be included in Grant's gross income). Kim and Grant currently reside with Jim and Kay. Dale's main place of residence is with Jim and Kay, and he is currently on a temporary absence to attend school. How many dependents can Jim and Kay claim on their joint income tax return?

Answers

Answer: 1 dependent

Explanation:

Only Dale can be claimed as a dependent as he is a qualifying child who is under 24 and is a full time student.

Kim cannot be claimed as a dependent as Kim is above the age of 19. To be a qualifying child for dependency, Kim would have to be less than 19 or less than 24 were Kim a full time student.

Grant also does not qualify as a dependent under the Qualifying relative designation as Grant's gross income of $5,000 exceeds the limit of $4,200 that Grant would have to be making less than in 2019 to be claimed as a qualifying relative.

A customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $17 as the initial transaction in a new margin account. The customer must deposit:_______.
A. $750.
B. $1,500.
C. $2,000.
D. $3,000.

Answers

Answer: $2,000

Explanation:

Regulation T which governs such actions in the investment market would only require that the customer deposit 50% of the total amount to be called which would be;

= 50% * (100 * 17)

= $850

However, as this is a new margin account, there is a set minimum that must be reached to enable it to be open. That minimum is $2,000.

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________

Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?

c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour

= 60 / 5

= 12minutes

Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time

Sum of task time

= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4

= 48

The theoretical minimum number of work stations is

= 48 / 12

= 4

b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.

°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.

°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.

Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.

°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.

°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.

Task Time Workstation

A. 8 1

B. 10 2

C. 8 3

D. 10 4

E. 8 -

F. 4 -

Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.

C. Efficiency of the assembly line

Efficiency ;

= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time

Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.

= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100

= 80%

The theoretical minimum should be = 4

The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent

The production time = 60

The units that are required per hour = 5

[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

= 12

The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4

= 48

[tex]The minimum number = \frac{48}{12} \\\\= 4[/tex]

The efficiency of the assembly line

[tex]\frac{48}{5*60} \\\\= 0.8\\\\0.8*100 = \\\\80percent[/tex]

The risk-free rate of return is 3.2 percent and the market risk premium is 4.6 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 2.12

Answers

Answer:

12.95%

Explanation:

The risk free rate of return is 3.2%

The market risk premium is 4.6%

The beta is 2.12

Therefore, the expected rate of return on a stock can be calculated as follows

= 3.2% + (2.12×4.6%)

= 3.2% + 9.752

= 12.95%

Hence the expected rate of return on a stock is 12.95%

Discount on Bonds Payable    $231033

            Bonds Payable                        $3400000 Cr

Explanation:

The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.

The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.

Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033

Torque corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $1 in the upcoming year. dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year. the risk free rate of return is 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. the stock of torque corporation has a beta of 1.2. what is the return you should require on torque stock?a) 12%,
b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.

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 rate rM is the return on market

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.

Answers

Answer:

d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.

Explanation:

There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:

we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facility

If we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:

only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?

Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
