Answer:
The answer is D. 7.22 percent
Explanation:
Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year
N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $987
PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61
3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace. Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45. Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95. How much will the purchase of these products cost?
Answer:
Total cost= $225.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace.
Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45.
Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95.
First, we need to calculate the number of "packs" to buy:
Pens= 480/6= 80
Staplers= 6/2= 3
Total cost= 80*2.45 + 2*14.95= $225.9
On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
Akram owns a small farm. He employs 80 workers in the field and has recently hired a manager to help him manage the farm. The income of the business varies greatly during the year. The farm makes a small profit but Akram is ambitious. He wants to take over a neighbour’s farm and increase the range of crops he sells. He thinks that he needs long-term finance and plans to take out bank loan to pay for the takeover. He has already borrowed money to buy a new tractor. A friend has advised him to form a company and sell shares
Question Completion:
Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low
Answer:
Akram's Farm
Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:
1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit. The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers. But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.
2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the Accounts Receivable. Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts. The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.
Explanation:
Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company. The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.
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.
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.
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %
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
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%.

Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so? What could be done to improve the situation?
Answer:
Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so?
it might be so because managers may feel that performance appraisal is not as productive as other activities, or because they lack the personal skills, or the motivation, to engage in that activity.
What could be done to improve the situation?
Managers should be taught that performance appraisal can be a very effective and productive method for the firm. When workers are praised for their work (when they deserve it), they are likely to be happier in the workplace, and it has been shown by countless studies that happier workers are also more productive.

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:
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
The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:
good is excludable if: a. it is Wi-Fi or a similar service. b. people who do not pay cannot be easily prevented from using the good. c. one person's use of the good does not reduce the ability of another person to use the same good. d. people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good. (d)
Explanation:
Excludable goods or services are those to which the consumer cannot have access unless payment of some form is made. By contrast, a non-excludable good or service is one to which the consumer cannot be prevented from using even without payment. Excludable goods can be further divided into rivalrous and non-rivalrous.
A rivalrous excludable good or service is one in which usage by a consumer or usage by one party prevents or reduces significantly, its use by another consumer or party examples are goods such as clothes, food, cars etc, while non-rivalrous excludable goods/services include tv subscriptions, cinemas, etc.

Division A had ROI of 15% last year. The manager of Division A is considering an additional investment for the coming year. What step will the manager likely choose to take
Answer: c.Reject the investment if it returns less than 15% ROI.
Explanation:
Additional investments should yield incremental returns if they are to be accepted. In the previous year, Division A had an Return on Investment of 15%, when an additional investment is being considered, it must bring in more than that 15% if it is to be accepted.
Therefore, if an investment is to give a less than 15% ROI, it should be rejected as it is not bringing additional returns for the Division.

Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000
Explanation:
Net Income $1,250,000
To Preferred Shareholders $175,000
Net income available to $1,075,000
common stockholders
Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock
Basic earnings per share = $1,075,000 / 380,000
Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.
. A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs = 10.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 6.4%. What is the stock's current price
Answer:
The answer is $18.29
Explanation:
We have many formulas to arriving at the stock price but here we use Gordon growth model.
Formula for getting stock price is:
D1/r - g
Where:
D1 - is the next year dividend or expected dividend to be paid next.
r is the rate of return
g is the growth rate
$0.75/0.105 - 0.064
$0.75/0.041
$18.29.
Therefore, the stock's current price is $18.29
hich of the following is NOT one of the ways companies are using mobile apps? Group of answer choices track behavior across tablets and mobile devices utilize cookies to track mobile activity utilize GPS data to provide location-based offers track loyalty program participation add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives
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.

Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eleven years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $982. At this price, the bonds yield 7.6 percent.
Required:
What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?
Answer:
The answer is 7.35 percent
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 11years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 7.6 percent
PV(present value or market price) = $982
PMT( coupon payment) = ?
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 11; I/Y = 7.6; PV = -$982; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= $73.52
Therefore, coupon rate is ($73.52/$1,000) x 100 percent
=7.35 percent

The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the: A. Trade margin B. Gross marketing contribution C. Net marketing contribution D. All of the above
Answer:
A. Trade margin
Explanation:
The profit obtained from trading operations is known as gross profit or trade margin.This is calculated as sales less costs of goods sold.
The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the gross marketing contribution.
The following information is considered:
When the cost of goods sold is deducted from the sales revenue so the gross marketing contribution should come. Neither it is trade margin, nor net marketing contribution.In other words, the difference is called as gross margin.Therefore we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a % weight in equity, % in preferred stock, and % in debt. The cost of equity capital is %, the cost of preferred stock is %, and the pretax cost of debt is %. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is %?
Complete Question:
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?
Answer:
7.96%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the formula:
WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100% +
After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100% +
Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%
Here,
Cost of equity is 17%
Cost of preferred stock is 11%
Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost * (1 - Tax rate)
This implies,
Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) = 5.4%
Equity weight is 10% weight in equity
Preferred stock weight is 25%
Debt Weight is 65%
By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:
WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%) + 11% * (25% / 100%) + 5.4% * (65% / 100%)
WACC = 1.7% + 2.75% + 3.51%
WACC = 7.96%
Suppose that Mexico experienced a very severe period of inflation in 1972. As prices in Mexico rose, the demand in the foreign exchange market for Mexican pesos:
Answer:
demand for pesos would fall and supply would rise. their value would decrease as a result
Explanation:

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
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
Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?
Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.
Northwest Fur Co. started 2021 with $105,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During 2021, $510,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 3/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases
Answer:
The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011
Explanation:
Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards
Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900
Purchases = 500,011
When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount
Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189
Net purchase = 491,111
Working
Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate
Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%
Discount = 15,189
Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold
