1. Assume that all common stock is issued for cash. What amount of cash dividends is paid during 2015?
2. Assume that no additional notes payable are issued in 2015. What cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015?

Answers

Answer:

1. $2,800

2. $40,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of cash dividends is paid during 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Retained earnings

Dividend paid               $2,800         Beginning balance   $8,400

($8,400 + $30,000

- $35,600)                                          Net income                $30,000

Total                              $2,800                                            $38,400

                                                          Ending balance         $35,600

Therefore cash dividends is paid during 2015 is 2,800

2. The computation of cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Notes payable

Cash paid                        $40,000   Beginning balance   $69,000

($69,000 - $29,000)

Total                                 $40,000                                   $69,000

                                                         Ending balance       $29,000

Therefore cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance

in 2015  is $40,000

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ at $60 in a margin account, regular way settlement. Two days after the trade, XYZ has dropped to $40. The minimum maintenance margin requirement is:

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ

The shares are bought at $60 in a margin account

Two days after the price of XYZ drops to $40

The first step is to calculate the current market value

= 1,000 shares×$40

= $40,000

Therefore, the minimum maintenance margin requirement can be calculated as follows

= 25/100 × current market value

= 25/100 × 40,000

= 0.25×40,000

= $10,000

Hence the minimum maintenance margin requirement is $10,000

a. Days' sales uncollected
b. Days' sales in inventory
c. Accounts receivable turnover
d. Acid test rato

Answers

Answer:

 1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.  

Explanation:

Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.

For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.

This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:

($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)

The answer is 0.52667

Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.

Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.

1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover          

2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.

. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.

3.   The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:

A) Days' sales Uncollected and

C) Accounts receivable turnover.

A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by

(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365

It is the number of days before receivables are collected.

The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.

C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Gates Inc. for the current fiscal year. Property, plant, and equipment (net) $971,600 Liabilities: Current liabilities $140,000 Note payable, 6%, due in 15 years 694,000 Total liabilities $834,000 Stockholders' equity: Preferred $4 stock, $100 par (no change during year) $834,000 Common stock, $10 par (no change during year) 834,000 Retained earnings: Balance, beginning of year $890,000 Net income 386,000 $1,276,000 Preferred dividends $33,360 Common dividends 130,640 164,000 Balance, end of year 1,112,000 Total stockholders' equity $2,780,000 Sales $21,141,000 Interest expense $41,640 Assuming that total assets were $3,433,000 at the beginning of the current fiscal year, determine the following. When required, round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities  = fixed assets / long term liabilities = $971,600 / $694,000 = 1.4

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $834,000 / $2,780,000  = 0.3

Asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $21,141,000 / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 6  

Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average total assets =  ($386,000 + $41,640) / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 12.14%

Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($2,780,000 + $2,558,000) = 14.46%

Return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average common stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($1,946,000 + $1,724,000) = 21.04%

Ideally, in effective marketing planning, goals should be _____ in terms of what is to be accomplished and when.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is quantified and measurable.

Explanation:

Goals need to be quantified and measurable in effective marketing planning. To determine what needs to be accomplished and when, we must put figures to it. This makes performance measurement easier where variances at the end can be analysed.

For example, one of the marketing goals for bank A might be to onboard 100 new customers every month for a year after the launching of its new mobile app.

This example is quantified and can be measured every month.

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual hours 2,500 hours Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $29,590 Actual output 150 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours

Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour

Actual hours 2,500 hours

Actual output of 150 units

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 5.2*150= 780

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (780 - 2,500)*11.6

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable

One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year

Answers

Answer:

Dividend = $2.34

Explanation:

Purchase Price = $55.20

Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28

Capital Loss = $12.62

Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28

Dividend = $2.34

A corporate bond currently yields 8.5%. Municipal bonds with the same risk, maturity, and liquidity currently yield 5.5%. At what tax rate would investors be indifferent between the two bonds?

Answers

Answer: 35.29%

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds are attractive in that they give the tax benefit of being tax exempt whereas a corporate bond is liable for taxation. The tax rate that will therefore make an investor indifferent between the two bonds is the one that will equate the Corporate bond's yield net of tax to the yield on the Municipal bond.

5.5% = 8.5% * ( 1 - x)

5.5% = 8.5% - 0.085x

0.085x = 8.5% - 5.5%

0.085x = 3%

x = 35.29%

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

a. 12.03%

b. 3.32%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]

Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y

Now the equations are as follows

For Pete Corp

19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)

For Repete Corp

16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)

Now Solving (1) and (2)

After solving we get

y = 8.70967741935

x = 3.3225806452

i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%

And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%

So,

Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium

= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935

= 12.03%

f the nominal interest rate is 7 percent and the real interest rate "is -2.5" percent, then the inflation rate is

Answers

Answer:

9.7%

Explanation:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real rate) x (1 + inflation rate)

1.07 = 0.975 x (1 + inflation rate)

Pfd Company has debt with a yield to maturity of 7.5%, a cost of equity of 13.5%, and a cost of preferred stock of 9.5%. The market values of its debt, preferred stock, and equity are $10.5 million, $3.5 million, and $24.5 million, respectively, and its tax rate is 40%. What is this firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

As we know that:

WACC = Ke * Ve / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))

+   Kd * Vd*(1-tax) / (Ve + Vpref + Vd*(1-Tax))

  +   Kpref * Vpref / (Ve + Vpref + Vd (1-Tax))

Here

Ke is 13.5%

Pre tax Kd is 7.5%

Kpref is 9.5%

Ve is value of equity and is $24.5 million

Vpref is value of equity $3.5 million

Vd is $10.5 million

Tax rate is 40%

By putting the values, we have:

WACC =       13.5% *$24.5 / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

                   + 7.5% * (1-40%) * $45m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

                   + 9.5% * $3.5m / ($24.5m + $3.5m + $10.5m (1-40%))

WACC = 0.045 * 0.273   +   0.095 * 0.091  +  0.135 * 0.636

= 10.68%

Complete Question:

A 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. Which is the BEST recommendation?

Group of answer choices.

A. Mid-cap common stock

B. Municipal bond

C. Bank CD

D. Treasure STRIPS

Answer:

C. Bank CD

Explanation:

In this scenario, a 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. A Bank certificate of deposit (CD) is the best recommendation.

A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.

Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.

Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio return = 0.127744 or 12.7744% rounded off to 12.77%

Explanation:

The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The formula for portfolio return is,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  +  wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents the weight of each stockr represents the return of each stock

To calculate the expected return of portfolio, we first need to calculate the individual stock returns.

The expected rate of return of individual stocks can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or return to occur rA, rB and so on are the return in different events

For Stock A

rA = 0.17 * -0.188  +  0.45 * 0.102  +  0.38 * 0.286

rA  = 0.12262 or 12.262%

For Stock B

rB = 0.17 * -0.039  +  0.45 * 0.085  +  0.38 * 0.158

rB  = 0.09166 or 9.166%

For Stock C

rC = 0.17 * -0.228  +  0.45 * 0.171  +  0.38 * 0.317

After reading it write about whether or not you agree with the academic economic consensus that independent officials running the Federal Reserve are able to properly balance their dual mandate in a fair and balanced fashion with the needs of workers in one hand and the financial industry on the other. If you agree with the consensus view explain your reasons; or if you disagree and think that the officials are biased in favor of the financial industry explain your reasoning with some possible solutions to the problem. Write at least two paragraphs articulating your views.

Answers

Answer:

The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.

In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.

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

Answers

Answer: 1.2

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

Problem 14-13 Calculating the WACC [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $70, and the book value per share is $9. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $75 million, a coupon rate of 7 percent, and sells for 95 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 107 percent of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 8 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.30 and the dividend growth rate is 4.5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 8.97%

Explanation:

total value of equity = $70 x 4,000,000 = $280,000,000

cost of equity:

$70 = $4.4935 / (Re - 4.5%)

Re - 4.5% = 6.42%

Re = 10.92%

total value of debt:

$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000

YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%

$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%

weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%

total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000

equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674

debt weight = 1 - 0.674 =  0.326

WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%

Hotel Cortez is an all-equity firm that has 10,900 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $37 per share. The firm's management has decided to issue $66,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 8 percent. What is the break-even EBIT

Answers

Answer:

$32,264.07

Explanation:

The computation of the Break-even EBIT  is shown below:

(EBIT ÷ Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares  

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $66,000 × 0.08) ÷ (10,900 - (66,000 ÷ $37))

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (10,900 - 1,783.78)

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (9116.22)

After solving this, the value of break-even EBIT is $32,264.07

The Rhaegel Corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.2. If the risk-free rate is 4.3 percent and the expected return on the market is 13 percent, what is the company’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock..

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.

Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.  

Under CAPM,  

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r)- cost of equity , Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.  

Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:  

β-1.2 Rf- 4.3%, Rm = 13%  

E(r) = 4.3% + 1.2 × (13 - 4.3)%=14.74 %

Expected return = 14.74 %

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Angie Pereira and Ferro Schwartz are employees of Free Star, Inc. In February 2019. Angie's gross pay was $6000, and Ferro's gross pay was $7400. All earnings are subject to FICA-OASDI Tax of 6.296 and FICA--Medicare Tax of 1.4596. Which of the following would be included in the entry to record the salaries expense for February?
A. a credit to Salaries Expense for 5830.80
B. a credit to FICA-OASDI Taxes Payable for $830.80
C. a debit to FICA-Medicare Taxes Payable for $830.80
D. a debit to Salaries Payable to employees for $830.80

Answers

Answer:

B. a credit to FICA-OASDI Taxes Payable for $830.80

Explanation:

Free Star, Inc. In February 2019.

Angie's gross pay was $6000,

Ferro's gross pay was $7400

Total gross pay $ 13400

FICA-OASDI Tax  6.296 %

$ 13400 * 6.2% = $ 830.80

The recording of the journal entry would require a debit to FICA tax and credit to FICA tax payable .

The FICa tax is 6.2 % which equals to $ 830.80 of the two gross pays.

All the other three options are incorrect.

Answers

Answer: Add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives

Explanation:

In this age of technology, companies have found that being able to offer their customers relevant products can be greatly helped by gathering information about them and offering it to them directly on their phones. A great way to do so is through the use of mobile apps.

With mobile apps a company can track behavior on the device as well as track mobile activity. They could even use the GPS capabilities of the phone through the app to offer relevant location based content.

However, as much as companies would like their customers to have enjoyable lives, this is not an aim with mobile apps. The apps are there to boost the companies sales not to add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives unless of course, that is the company's main business.

A company with a WACC of 8.5% is considering two possible investments. Project A will return 10% and be financed using equity costing 9.5%. Project B will return 8% and be financed using debt costing 6%. Which project should the company undertake

Answers

Answer:

The Company should undertake project A.

Explanation:

The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using various sources of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.

A company will always accept projects that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and reject any project offering a return below the WACC.

Conclusion :

The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.
