Current interest rates are 8%. You want to buy a long-term bond with a face value of $1000 that pays a coupon rate of 10%. Which of the following prices is feasible?
a. $888.88
b. $1,000.00
c. $1,111.11
d. Not enough information to answer.
e. None of the above is feasible.
Answer: c. $1,111.11
Explanation:
When a bond's coupon rate is higher than the prevailing interest rate, the bond will be more sought after because it is paying more than the market is paying. As a result, the price of the bond will be higher than its par value to reflect the increased demand for it.
In other words, when a bond coupon rate is higher than the interest rate, the price will be higher than par. This is the case here so the bond will be selling at a higher price than $1,000 and the only option higher than $1,000 is option c at $1,111.11.

The Pizza Company is considering a new three-year expansion project. The key data are shown below:
The company hired a consulting firm to help evaluate the project and paid the consulting fee of $60,000. The company owns the space. If company did not invest in the project, it can receive after-tax rental fee for $300,000 per year for 3 years. However, if the
company invested in the project, it will use the space for the project.
The fixed cost to produce pizza is required at $150,000 per year.
It is estimated that 50,000 units will be sold in the first year and that 40,000 units and 30,000 units will be sold in the second and third years respectively.
Each pizza is expected to sell for $25 and the production cost will be $15 per unit.
The sales price and variable cost should increase with inflation. Expected inflation rate per year is 5%.
The project requires an initial investment in working capital of $500,000, which will be required in each year at 10% of revenue in the following year.
The purchase of the machinery at the start of the project is $1,000,000. The shipping and installation cost are $200,000. The machinery will be depreciated straight-line to zero. It is estimated that the machinery can be sold at the end of the project for $250,000.
To finance the project, the company would need to take a one-million dollar loan at 8% interest rate p.a. from HSBC over the life of the project. Annual interest expense is $80,000.
The corporate tax rate is 34%.

Swifty Corporation has beginning work in process inventory of $128000 and total manufacturing costs of $277000. If cost of goods manufactured is $280000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory?
a. $125000
b. $131000.
c. $140000.
d. $110000.
Answer:
a. $125000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of the ending work in process inventory
Beginning work in process inventory $128000
Add total manufacturing costs $277000
Less cost of goods manufactured $280000

Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of the One year from now bond C should sell is shown below;
But before that we have to determined the expected yield to maturity for bond C in one year :
So,
1.0799^3 = 1.06 x (1 + r)^2
1.188 = (1 + r)^2
√1.188 = √(1 + r)^2
1.08999 = 1 + r
r = 0.08999
= 9%
Now
the yield to maturity = (future value ÷ present value)^0.5 - 1
0.09 + 1 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09^2 = $1,000 ÷ value in 1 year
So,
value in 1 year is
= $1,000 ÷ 1.09^2
= $1,000 ÷ 1.1881
= $841.68
≈ $842
For a model economy, the mpc (marginal propensity to consume) is 0.8. Current GDP is $100 million. Potential GDP is $60 million. To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must g
Answer:
To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.
Explanation:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 5
Output gap = Current GDP - Potential GDP = $100 - $60 = $40 million
Amount of change in government expenditure needed = Output gap / mpc = $40 / 5 = $8 million
Since the Potential GDP is less than the Current GDP, this implies that the government spending must fall by $8 million to reach full employment.
Therefore, to reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.

Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.

Ellen Co. has offered their customers a 1% discount off the amount owed if they pay within 15 days of receiving their bill. Handler Company owed Ellen Co. $2,185 as of May 1st and paid Ellen Co. on May 7th. How much cash did Handler Company send to Ellen Co. on May 7th?
Answer:
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
Explanation:
Discount offered by the Ellen Co. = 1%
Owed amount = $2185
Since the amount is repaid within 15 days to the offer of a 1% discount will be applicable. So the Handler will send an amount that is 1% less than the actual amount.
Money send to Ellen = 2185 - (1% x 2185)

On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000
Book value= 36,500 - 11,000
Book value= $25,500

Gravity, Inc., needs to raise $53 million to fund its expansion plans. The company will sell shares at a price of $29.00 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. How many shares need to be sold?a- 1,975,769b- 1,827,586c- 1,457,212d- 2,195,299e- 1,700,080
Answer:
a. 1,975,769
Explanation:
Underwriter's commission per share = 7.5% * $29
Underwriter's commission per share = $2.175
Amount received by company per share = Price per share in general cash offer - Underwriter's commission per share
Amount received by company per share = $29 - $2.175
Amount received by company per share = $26.825
Amount that company wants to raise = Number of shares sold * Amount received by company per share
53,000,000 = Number of shares sold * $26.825
Number of shares sold = 53,000,000 / $26.825
Number of shares sold = 1975768.87
No of shares to be sold = 1,975,768

Answer:
A. Margin 14.75%
Turnover 0.46 times
ROI 6.85%
B. ROE 12.17%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the margin, turnover, and ROl for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Calculation for MARGIN
Using this formula
Margin=Net income/Sales
Let plug in the formula
Margin=$38,340/$260,000
Margin=0.1475*100
Margin=14.75%
Calculation for TURNOVER
Using this formula
Turnover=Sales /Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Turnover=$260,000/$560,000
Turnover=0.46 times
Calculation for ROI
Using this formula
ROI=Net income/Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
ROI=$38,340/$560,000
ROI=0.0685*100
ROI=6.85%
Therefore the margin is 14.75%, turnover is 0.46 times and ROl is 6.85% for the year ended December 31, 2016.
B. Calculation to determine the ROE for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Using this formula
ROE=Net income /Average total stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
ROE=$38,340/$315,000

Answer:
Agency theory.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Typically, it is considered to be one of the most complicated and expensive type of organization. Generally, a corporation is considered to be perpetual in nature and it is a body that comprises of a group of people such as directors, shareholders etc., who act as a single entity.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
The theory which states that problems arise in corporations because top management no longer is willing to bear the brunt of their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation is called agency theory.
Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover? Group of answer choices 5 times. 5.5 times. 5.83 times. 6.6 times.
Answer:
5.83 times
Explanation:
The computation of the Gamble's inventory turnover is given below:
As we know that
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ (ending inventory + opening inventory) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ ($140,000 + $100,000) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ $120,000
= 5.83 times
