Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Some information was missing, so i looked it up:

State of               Prob. of the state          Sunglasses            Umbrella

the economy      of the economy             Company               Corporation

Sunny                          .50                              25%                          0%

Rainy                           .50                               0%                          25%

expected returns:

Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,

so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%

standard deviation:

Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%

"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.

Braxton's Cleaning Company stock is selling for $33.25 per share based on a required return of 11.7 percent. What is the the next annual dividend if the growth rate in dividends is expected to be 4.5 percent indefinitely?

Answers

Answer:

So, the next annual dividend will be $2.394

Explanation:

The constant growth model of DDM is used to calculate the price of a stock today whose dividend growth rate is expected to be constant forever. The price of such a stock is calculated using the formula for price under the constant growth model of DDM,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is the next annual dividend that will be paid by the stockr is the required rate of return g is the growth rate in dividends

To calculate the next annual dividend, we will input the available values for P0, r and g in the formula,

33.25 = D1 / (0.117 - 0.045)

33.25 * (0.072) = D1

2.394 = D1

So, the next annual dividend will be $2.394

Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond   = $770.60

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Heather Smith  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40

Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)  = (2 ×10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06)  = 458.796

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20)  = 311.80

Step 3 :Price of bond  

= 458.796  + 311.80 = 770.60

Price of bond   = $770.60

Answers

Answer:

28.23%

Explanation:

ABC corporation has a sales of $17,910,000

The net operating income is $1,199,970

The average operating assets is $4,250,000

Therefore, the ROI can be calculated as follows

ROI= Net operating income/Average operating assets

= $1,199,970/$4,250,000

= 0.2823×100

= 28.23%

Hence the division's return on investment is closest to 28.23%

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $20,000

Unitary variable cost= $17

Selling price= $28 per unit.

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= 20,000 / (28 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 1,818 units

Now, the profit for 1,500 units:

Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Indigo Corporation had the following tax information.

Year      Taxable Income         Tax Rate               Taxes Paid

2015        $294,000                  35%                       $102,900

2016         332,000                    30%                        99,600

2017          399,000                    30%                       119,700

In 2018, Indigo suffered a net operating loss of $487,000, which it elected to carry back. The 2018 enacted tax rate is 26%.

The objective is to prepare the Indigo's entry to record the effect of the loss carryback.

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = Taxable income(2018) × Tax rate(2018) + ( net operating loss - Taxable income(2018) )  × Tax rate(2018)

(332000 × 30%)+(476000-332000) × 30%

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable =  (332000 × 0.30)+(476000-332000) × 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 144000× 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 43200

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 142800

Therefore, Indigo Corporation ENtry can be prepared as follows:

Account titles                                        Debit          Credit

Income Tax Refund Receivable          142800

Benefit Due to Loss Carryback                             142800

Answers

Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market

Explanation:

Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.

It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.

Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.

c. $6,000
d. $8,500
e. $4,500

2                             $4,000                                $2,000

Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 = $23,000

This means that year 2's net income was understated by $5,000.

But year 1's net income was overstated by = $2,500 - $3,000 = -$500.

The adjustment on the retained earnings account should be $5,000 - $500 = $4,500

Booher Book Stores has a beta of 1.0. The yield on a 3-month T-bill is 3% and the yield on a 10-year T-bond is 6%. The market risk premium is 4.5%, and the return on an average stock in the market last year was 10.5%. What is the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity =  10.5%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

Rf-risk-free rate (long-term i.e 10 year treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market., Ke- Return on equity (cost of equity)

This model can be used to work out the cost of equity as follows:

Ke= Rf + β (Rm-Rf)

Rf- 6%, β= 1.0, Rm- 10.5, E(r)- ?

Ke = 6% + 1.0× (10.5 -6)% = 10.5%

Ke  = 10.5%

Cost of equity =  10.5%

2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders

Answers

Answer:  $1,700

Explanation:

The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.

Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.

Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.

Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)

= 750 + 950

= $1,700

MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?

Answers

Answer: D) Projects A and C

Explanation:

The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.

Cost of Equity

= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)

= 17.6%

After tax cost of debt

= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)

= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)

= 7%

WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)

= 4.2% + 7.04%

= 11.24%

Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead:

Indirect material usage 10,000

Indirect labor 10,000

Factory water and electricity 20,000

Depreciation-factory 50,000

Total overhead= 90,000

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

Direct materials= 100,000 + 20,000 - 30,000= 90,000

Yan Yan Corp. has a $3,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.2 percent paid semiannually and 25 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.8 percent. What is the price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

$3,173.63

Explanation:

For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Future value = $3,000

Rate of interest = 4.8% ÷ 2 = 2.4%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

PMT = $3,000 × 5.2% ÷ 2  = $78

The formula is shown below:

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

So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $3,713.63

Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 22,000 units, a company anticipates total variable costs of $99,000, fixed costs of $30,000, and operating income of $36,000. Based on this information, the budgeted amount of fixed costs for 20,000 units would be:

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted amount of fixed cost for 20,000 units = $30,000

Explanation:

For 22,000 units, Budgeted fixed cost was $30,000

Thus, since fixed cost do not change in totality under ordinary circumstances, the same amount of fixed cost would be budgeted for 20,000 units as well

Based on the information given, the budgeted amount of fixed costs for 20,000 units would be $30,000.

What is a budget?

A budget simply means a financial plan that is used by an individual, business organization or government to estimate the amount of revenue and expenditures over a specified period of time, and it is usually on an annual basis i.e one year.

In this scenario, the budgeted amount of fixed costs for 20,000 units would be equal to $30,000 because fixed cost remains the same and doesn't change under ordinary circumstances.

An existing robot can be kept if $2,300 is spent now to upgrade it for future service requirements. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new robot to replace the old robot. The following estimates have been developed for both the defender and the challenger. The company's before-tax MARR is 25% per year. Based on this information, should the existing robot be replaced right now? Assume the robot will be needed for an indefinite period of time.
Defender Challenger
Current MV $39,000 Purchase price $50,000
Required upgrade $2,300 Installation cost $5,000
Annual expenses $1,600 Annual expenses $1,000

Annual expenses             $1,600           Annual expenses           $1,000

Remaining useful life      6 years           Useful life                     10 years

MV at end of useful life  -$1,500           MV at end of useful life $7,000

Investment = $39,000 + $2,300           Investment = $50,000 + $5,000

= $41,300                                                = $55,000

Present Value = ($41,300 +                   Present Value = ($55,000 +

$1,600 x 2.951)  = $46,021.60               $1,000 x 3.571) = $58,571

$46,022 + $393 ($1,500 x .262)            $58,571 - $749 ($7,000 x .107)

Equivalent Annual Cost                         Equivalent Annual Cost

= $46,415/ 2.951                                     = $57,822/3.571

= $15,729                                                = $16,192

The robots' Equivalent Annual Costs (or Average Weighted Value) are the total costs of owning, operating, and maintaining the robots for 6 years and 10 years respectively.  For the old robot, additional cost of $1,500 will be incurred to retire the asset, while the new robot will have a salvage value of $7,000.  These are factored into the equivalent annual costs, after discounting them to their present values.

Whenever an existing piece of equipment is considered for replacing by a new piece of equipment, the old piece is referred to as the defender, and the new piece of equipment is referred to as the challenger.  

The AW value of the defender is------------$15,729.

a) Data and Calculations:

Defender                                                Challenger

Net sales$688,500 $450,000 Cost of goods sold 337,364 133,200 Determine the 2016 and 2017 trend percents for net sales using 2016 as the base year.

Answers

Answer:

Trend- % change in sales =  34.64%

Explanation:

Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.

To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below

% Change in variable =

(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100

DATA

Current year figure  for sales (2017) - 450,000

Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500

% change in sales =   (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%

% change in sales =  34.64%

This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016

What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?

Answers

Answer:

The present value = $3,602.30

Explanation:

To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:

[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]

where:

FV = Future value = $4,500

PV = Present value = ??

r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2

t = time = 5

[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]

Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30
