2Taxable bonds
3.They have the same after-tax yield
4.
municipal bond
Explanation:
The missing tax brackets are zero,10%,20% and 30%
Zero % tax rate:
municipal bond pays 4%
taxable bonds after tax yield=5%*(1-0)=5%
10% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-10%)=4.5%
20% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4.0%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-20%)=4.0%
30% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4.0%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-30%)=3.50%
An investor holds a 10 year bond pays a coupon rate of 9%. The yeid to maturity of the bond is 10% . The bond is trading:
Answer:
the bond is trading at a discount
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.
As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.
The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.

Explanation:
Duerr company makes a $73,000, 90-day, 10% cash loan to Ryan Co. The maturity value of the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer: $74,825
Explanation:
Maturity value is the amount that a borrower will pay to the lender when the loan matures.
Based on the above analysis, the interest will be:
= $73,000 × 10% × 90/360
= $73,000 × 0.1 × 0.25
= $1825
Maturity value will now be the addition of the principal and the interest. This will be:
= $73,000 + $1825
= $74,825

Seven Manufacturing Corporation uses both standards and budgets. The company estimates that production for the year will be 100,000 units of Product Fast. To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
Required:
Compute the estimates for a standard cost.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $14
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 100,000
To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
First, we need to calculate the total cost and then the unitary cost:
Total cost= 600,000 + 800,000= $1,400,000
Unitary cost= 1,400,000/100,000= $14
A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.
Answer:
NPV = $62,258.56
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 = $400,000
cash inflow year 1 = $100,000
cash inflow year 2 = $200,000
cash inflow year 3 = $300,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56
if you do it by hand:
NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56

A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?
Answer:
COGS= $130,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.
Sales= $200,000.00
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
Gross margin= sales - COGS
COGS= sales - gross margin
COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)
COGS= $130,000
Idaho Industries Inc. is considering a project that has an initial aftertax outlay or aftertax cost of $450,000. The respective future cash inflows from its fiveyear project for years 1 through 5 are $95,000 each year. Idaho expects an additional cash flow of $60,000 in the fifth year. The firm uses the IRR method and has a hurdle rate of 10%. Will Idaho accept the project? A. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 10%. B. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 5%. C. Idaho rejects the project because it has an IRR less than 10%. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-450,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000
IRR = 5.62%
Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate
To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

A producer can produce a product at a variable cost per unit of $7. The producer can sell the product for $10 each. If the fixed cost is $60,000.
Required:
a. How many units must the producer sell to break-even?
b. What is revenue at 35,000 units?
c. What is total cost at 35,000 units?
d. How many units must the producer sell in order to earn a profit of $60,000?
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
Explanation:
a.
The break even in units is the number of units that must be sold in order to earn enough total revenue as to cover total costs. The break even in units can be calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 10 - 7 =$3
Break even in units = 60000 / 3
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue = Price * Quantity
Revenue at 35000 units = 10 * 35000
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total cost (35000 units) = 7 * 35000 + 60000
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
To calculate the units required to earn a target profit, we simply add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units equation.
Thus, the number of units required to earn a target profit of $60000 is,
Units required for target profit = (60000 + 60000) / 3
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this ________________gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should ______________________.
Answer: d. inflationary; decrease government purchases or increase taxes
Explanation:
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this inflationary gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should decrease government purchases or increase taxes.
The Real GDP is greater than the Natural real GDP which is the potential GDP. When that happens the Economy is said to be overheated and producing above its limits as Aggregate Demand is above Aggregate Supply.
To combat this the Government according to Keynes should embark on policy that will reduce economic activity. The Government can use Contractionary Fiscal Policy that will see it reduce its spending and/or increase taxes. Both of these will have the effect of reducing the amount of money in the economy left for both investment and consumption and cause a fall in the Aggregate Demand.

The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) was developed as a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to know the schedule tasks and also know the critical path variation. It is useful to know the length of time that'll be needed for the completion of every task and how it relates to others in order to know the entire time needed to complete the particular project.
The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is not a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. The activity time normally varies.
When gasoline gallons are priced in terms of number of seashells, seashells serve as: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unit of account
Explanation:
Money serves three functions :
1. Unit of account : money serves the function of determining the value of a good or service. It is usually assumed that goods that are more highly priced are more valuable that goods that have lower prices
2. Medium of exchange : goods and services can be exchanged for money. For example, if I want to buy a gallon of gasoline and pay 4 seashells, money has served as a medium of exchange.
3. store of value: money can be saved, retrieved and exchanged sometimes in the future
TB MC Qu. 6-62 Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is ... Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 18% and its fixed monthly expenses are $51,000. If the company's sales for a month are $313,000, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income
Answer:
$5,340
Explanation:
Gayne's corporation contribution margin ratio is 18%
= 18/100
= 0.18
The fixed monthly expenses is $51,000
The company sales for the month is $313,000
Therefore, the net operating income can be calculated as follows
= (Contribution margin ratio×sales)-fixed expenses
= (0.18× $313,000)- $51,000
= $56,340-$51,000
= $5,340
Hence the best estimate of the company's net operating income is $5,340
Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $ 20,000
Variable expenses 12,000
Contribution margin 8,000
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin / total units
Unitary contribution margin= 8,000 / 1,000
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE
Answer:
1. Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment = 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
1. Average total asset
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)
Where;
Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2
Sales = $910,000
Average total asset = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:
2 = $910,000 / Average total asset
Average total asset = $910,000 / 2
Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:
Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)
Where,
Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07
Net income = ?
Sales = $910,000
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:
7% = Net income / $910,000
Net income = $910,000 * 7%
Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:
Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)
Where;
Net income = $63,700
Average total asset = $455,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000
Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE)
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)
Net income = $63,700
Average stockholders' equity = $490,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000
Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%
The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.
Answer:
annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326
Explanation:
the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = -$831,500
PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor
annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326
using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.
So our IRR = 20%
Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment
Answer:
The cost of the equipment is $45,416.
Explanation:
The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.
The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.
However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.
Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)
Since,
Purchase price = $41,600
Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.
Freight charges = $624
Installation costs = $696.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416
Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.
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?
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
An economy begins in long-run equilibrium, and then a change in government regulations makes holding money less attractive. a. (1.5 points) How does this change affect the demand for money
Answer: Demand Curve shifts left
Explanation:
Money is now less attractive to hold so people will demand less of it. This will cause the demand curve in the monetary market therefore to shift to the left.
Shifts in the demand curve for money are usually caused when a non-interest determinant of demand changes such as a decrease in income.
A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:
Answer:
$30.75
Explanation:
Given that
Security bidding = $30.25
Offered price = $30.75
over the counter trading = $30.75
Commission charged = $0.50
based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50
Hence, the price is $30.75
A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?
Answer:
Variance of the return = 0.01983
Explanation:
[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1
Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%
Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)
Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2
Variance = 0.01983
