Answer 1

Answer:

Effect on income= $6,450 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Contribution margin= $75

The marketing manager believes that a $7,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 190*75 - 7,800

Effect on income= $6,450 increase

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

A company has reported operating income of $25,000,000. The bond interest expense for the year is $4,000,000 and principal payments on bonds totaled $1,000,000. The company's debt service coverage ratio is:

Answers

Answer:

The company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.

Explanation:

The debt service coverage ratio refers to the financial ratio that give a measure of the ability of a company to meet its current debts obligation.

The debt service coverage ratio therefore compares the operating income of the company with the company's total debt service obligations.

The total service obligation includes the current interest, principal repayment, and any other debt obligations.

The formula for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is given as follows:

Debt service coverage ratio = Operating income / Total debt service costs

Form the question, we have:

Operating income = $25,000,000

Total debt service costs = Interest expense + Principal payments on bonds = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,000,000

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

Debt service coverage ratio = $25,000,000 / $5,000,000 = 5

Therefore, the company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.

Since this is greater than 1, this iimplies that operating profits made by the company is more than enough to pay its current debt service costs.

b. if the Federal Reserve purchases the foreign assets by selling 51,000,000 in T-bills, show the effect of this open market operation, using T-accounts. What happens to the monetary base?

Answers

Answer:

A. Federal Reserve

               Assets                                 Liabilities

Foreign Assets $1,000,000       Currency in circulation $51,000,000

The federal liabilities increase by $51,000,000 in currency because it uses that money to purchase foreign assets which increase the foreign assets category by an equivalent amount. The monetary base is defined as the sum of currency circulating in the public and commercial banks reserve with the central bank

Since, the currency in circulation has increased. Thus, the monetary base will increase by $51,000,000

B. Federal Reserve

               Assets                            Liabilities

Securities T-bill - $51,000,000

Foreign Assets $1,000,000

The federal is basically swapping T-bills with foreign assets. It did not use currency to make this purchase and the composition of assets changes, but the total does not.

Thus, the monetary base does not change

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.

You are the newly assigned project manager to a major IT upgrade project in your global company. How will you determine the risk tolerances associated with your project

Answers

Answer:

I have to identify the risk factors in the project and then gauge the willingness of the company to take such risks.

Explanation:

Risk tolerance is the willingness of an organization or an individual to take certain risks. The risk tolerance level of a person or organization can be classified as either high or low. For a project manager who wants to determine the risk tolerances associated with his project, he has to first identify the risk factors, and then try to know the risk level and if indeed this level is acceptable within the organization's culture and standard.

The project manager would do well to plot a graph that would show the probability of a risky action happening or not. A risk tolerance line is now obtained from where the project manager can know if that risk is tolerable by organization standards. The extent of job security would also help in determining the amount of risk a manager can take. However, they are still expected to stay within the standards of the organization.

In its first year, a project is expected to generate earnings before interest and taxes of $237,884 and its depreciation expense is expected to be $87,882. If the company’s tax rate is 35%, what is the project’s expected net operating profit after taxes for the year?

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $242,506.6

Giving the following information:

Earnings before interest and taxes= $237,884

Depreciation expense= $87,882.

Tax rate= 35%

To calculate the net operating profit, we need to use the following structure:

EBIT= 237,884

Tax= (237,884*0.35)= (83,259.4)

Depreciation= 87,882

Net operating income= 242,506.6

Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Book Value            Fair Value

Current assets                                     $ 28,700               $ 22,300

Long-term liabilities                                 29,000                21,400

The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:

Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.

Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of  net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.

For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:

Particular                                                  Fair Value ($)  

Current assets                                               22,300

Property, plant, and equipment                   52,600

Other assets                                                    5,800

Current liabilities                                          (14,900)

Long-term liabilities                                      (21,400)  

Fair value of net asset                                44,400    

Therefore, we have:

Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset =  $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900

Firm J has net income of $77,605, sales of $935,000, and average total assets of $467,500. Required: Calculate Firm J’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI).

Answers

Answer:

Firm J's margin= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover= 2

Firm J's ROI= 16.6%

Explanation:

Form J has a net income of $77,605

The sales is $935,000

The average total assets is $467,500

Firm J's margin can be calculated as follows

Margin= Net income/sales

= $77,605/$935,000

= 0.083×100

= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover can be calculated as follows

Turnover= Sales/Average Total assets

= $935,000/$467,500

= 2

Firm J's return on investment can be calculated as follows

ROI= Net income/Average Total assets

= $77,605/$467,500

= 0.166×100

= 16.6%

Hence Firm J's margin, turnover and return on investment is 8.3%, 2 and 16.6% respectively.

The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent

Answers

Answer:

11.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) +  (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)

= 3.07% + 8.69%

= 11.76%

Hence, the WACC is 11.76%

We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost

A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. % is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the yield to maturity rises to 6% from the current yield to maturity of 4.5%

Answers

Answer:

12.38% decrease

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

6%

Number of years = 12

Market yield I= 6 === 4.5

Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59

PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)

Future value = 1000

Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238

Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,

The percentage change in the price of this bond will be -12.38%.

The price of the bond at 4.5% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 4.50%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 4.5% = $1045.59

The price of the bond at 6.0% is calculated thus:

Yield to maturity = 6.00%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 6.0% = $916.16

The percentage change in price will be:

= (916.16 - 1045.59) / 1045.59

= -12.38%

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.

Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60

and ordering costs are $96.

Determine:

A. The optimal order quantity.

The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]

B. The number of orders per year.

of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25

of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20

of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15

of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''

Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]

Total cost  = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)

Total cost  = 720 + 720 + 21600

Total cost  =  $ 23040

If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700

Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700

Total cost = $22545.6

If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96)  + 19800

Total cost =  3000 + 172.8 + 19800

Total cost = $22972.8

From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000

So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order

the number of orders per year = 18000/5000

the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year

This year Baldwin achieved an ROE of 5.9%. Suppose management takes measures that increase Asset turnover (Sales/Total Assets) next year. Assuming Sales, Profits, and financial leverage remain the same, what effect would you expect this action to have on Baldwin's ROE

Answers

Answer:

ROE will increase

Explanation:

This action will cause an increase in Baldwin's ROE

ROE is the same as return on Equity. The return on equity is equal to the net profit margin multiplied by asset turnover which is also multiplied by equity multiplier.

From the above, if asset turnover is being increased by measures taken by the management, the ROE will also have to increase too. Firms will have to be generating more sales per units of the assets that they own.

Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.
Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) Nominal Exchange Rate (Yuan per dollar) Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Chinese goods per basket of U.S goods)
90 105 7.00
90 105 10.50

Answers

Answer:

The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:

For the first row in the table RER is 6.

For the second row in the table RER is 9.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table.

Explanation:

Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.

The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.

RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Where, from the question;

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

For the first row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

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

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

For the second row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

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

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9

The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.

Calculation of the real exchange rate:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Here,

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

So,

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Now

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

Now

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

So,

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9

A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is:_______

Answers

Answer:

Out the money.

Explanation:

A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is out the money.

An out the money ultimately implies that an option only has an extrinsic value but no intrinsic value. The extrinsic value of an option refers to the difference between its intrinsic value and the market value (premium). An extrinsic value is affected by the volatility in the market and its time value. The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the calculated, true or real value of an asset and is solely affected by internal factors.

A call is out the money when the strike price is greater than or above the underlying price of an asset. This simply means that, it's market value (price) has fallen below its strike price.

In this scenario, the market price of the call is 77 while its strike price is 80; thus, the call option is out the money by 3.

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000, variable costs are $465,100, and operating income is $287,000. What is the contribution margin ratio

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio= 0.42

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000

Variable costs are $465,100

Operating income is $287,000.

To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales

contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000

contribution margin ratio= 0.42

There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone? Yes No

Answers

Answer:

1a. $2.67 cost per unit

1b. $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Yes

Explanation:

1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired

The following details were given in the question.

Defective average =3/100= 0.03

inspection rate = 30 per hour

Cost of inspector = 8 per hour

Correction cost = $10 each

Using this formula

Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour

Let plug in the formula

Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour

Hired inspector =0.267×100

Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit

1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired

Using this Formula

No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective

Let plug in the formula

No inspector= 3/100×$10

No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

Rob and Lori purchased a home for $350,000 with an additional $5,000 in related purchase costs and then added a garage at a cost of $25,000. They sold the home for $450,000 and paid $28,000 in selling costs. How much was adjusted basis?

Answers

Answer: $380,000

Explanation:

To calculate the adjusted basis, we add the original cost, to the improvement cost and and then deduct depletion and depreciation cost.

From the scenario, since Rob and Lori purchased a home for $350,000 with an additional $5,000 in related purchase costs and then added a garage at a cost of $25,000 and then sold the home for $450,000 and paid $28,000 in selling costs.

The adjusted basis will be:

= $350,000 + $5,000 + $25,000

= $380,000
