Information regarding the lease: • Fair value of the asset: $400,000. • Useful life of the asset: 6 years with no salvage value. • Lease term is 5 years. • Annual lease payments are $60,000 • Implicit interest rate: 11%.
Answer:
This is a finance lease.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Minnetonka Company leases an asset. Information regarding the lease:
Fair value of the asset: $400,000.
Useful life of the asset: 6 years with no salvage value.
Lease term is 5 years.
Annual lease payments are $60,000
Implicit interest rate: 11%.
Minnetonka can purchase the asset at the end of the lease period for $50,000.
What type of lease is this?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Finance lease can be described a lease in which the finance company legally owns the asset throughout the lease term, but the lessor transfers all risk and reward connected with the asset to the lessee, and the lessee also acquires the ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
Since Minnetonka can purchase the asset at the end of the lease period for $50,000, this implies that Minnetonka can acquires the ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term. This therefore implies that this is a finance lease.

A contractor team of three consultants is bidding on a project. The senior consultant charges $175.00/hour and the other two consultants charge $130.00/hour. The senior consultant estimates that she will spend 120 hours on the project, and the other consultants estimate that they will split 350 hours between them. The team adds 85% to their estimated labor costs to cover overhead and achieve their target profit margin. What is the total cost that the team bids for the project
Answer:
Total cost of project $123,025
Explanation:
The total cost of the project would be the sum of the labour cost of the three consultants and the overhead charged to the project.
So, we can compute the total cost of project as follows:
Labour cost $
Senior consultant (175× 120) = 21,000
Other consultants (130× 350) = 45,500
Total labour cost 66,500
Overhead (85%× 66,500) 56,525
Total cost of project 123,025

A firm is considering an investment in a new advertising project. The project will produce a cash flow of $1,000 in one year and it will produce a cash flow of $15,000 two years from now. The firm has a required return of 11%. You are the manager of the advertising department and you estimate that the cost of this project is $13,000 today. Do you recommend that the firm accept this project
Answer:
The fact the investment opportunity has a positive cash flow means that the project should be accepted since it is value-adding
Explanation:
We can evaluate the acceptability of the project using the net present value approach. The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the 11% required rate of return.
Present value=future cash flow/(1+required rate of return)^n
n is the year in which the cash flows are expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow and 2 for year 2 cash flow
NPV=$1,000/(1+11%)^1+$15,000/(1+11%)^2-$13,000
NPV=$75.24

. A rise in the price of corn will cause a (Click to select) in the Supply Curve for corn. b. A decrease in the price of seed (an input to corn) will cause a (Click to select) in the Supply Curve for corn. c. A decrease in the local number of grocery stores will cause a (Click to select) in the Supply Curve for corn.
Answer:
move along upwards
shift out
shift in
Explanation:
A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.
Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
A change in the price of input A change in the number of suppliers Government regulationsWhen the price of corn increases, the quantity supplied of corn increases. this is in line with the law of supply.
according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
This would lead to a movement up along the supply curve
If the price of seed which is an input to corn decreases, it becomes cheaper to produce corn. As a result, the supply of corn would increase. this would lead to an outward shift of the supply curve.
If the number of grocery stores decreases, there would be a reduction in supply. As a result, the supply curve would shift inwards
According to Ghemawat's earlier observations of CAGE phenomena related to countries and relative distances measured with the framework, countries who share a common currency have a greater probablity of trading with each other than countries who share a common border.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
According to Ghemawat's CAGE framework, "countries who share a common currency have a greater probability of trading with each other than countries who share a common border."
a. True
Explanation:
The CAGE framework was developed by an international strategy guru, Pankaj Ghemawat. CAGE is a cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic framework. The framework offers businesses a means to evaluate the non-physical distances that exist between countries. With this more-inclusive view of distance, the CAGE framework provides another way for business to consider the location, opportunities, and risks involved in global trade or arbitrage.

When there is any change in the price of the good or service keeping other things constant so it would lead in the movement along with the supply curve. If there is any change in the input cost so it affect the production cost that would shift the supply and on the other hand when the cost is reduced so the shift should be in outward direction and vice versa
ou are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $109 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $109, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $142 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $76. The risk-free rate of interest is 12%. Calculate the call option's value using the two-state stock price model
Answer:
$14.73
Explanation:
Given that, there is a 50 - 50 chance that a call option will either increase or decrease ;
Exercise price = $109
Increase price = $142
Decrease price = $76
Using the two state stock price model :
Increase price - exercise price ; 142 - 109 = $33
Decrease price - exercise price ; 76 - 109 - $33
We calculate the mean, expected value of winning after one year,
E(X) = Σx*p(x)
Since call won't be exercised if price decrease, then - 33 = 0
x : ___ 33 _____ 0
p(x) : _ 0.5 ____ 0.5
E(X) = (33*0.5) + (0*0.5)
E(X) = 16.5
The present value, PV = Expected winning / (1 + r)
PV = 16.5 / (1 + 0.12) = 16.5 / 1.12 = 14.73

Interest rate in US (Rh): 3.5%
Interest rate in Euro zone (Rh): 7.5%
Line of credit in US: USD 10,000,000
Line of credit in in Euro zone: EUR 8,000,000
The spot rate of EUR, now (SR0): $1.25
Suppose your forecast tells you that the spot rate of EUR one year later (SR1) will be $1.20. What is your uncovered rate of return from US (Ruh) and Euro zone (Ruf)?
Answer:
(US): 3.20%
EURo zone :7.81%
Explanation:
As per Uncovered Interest rate parity theory,
Expected Spot Rate / Spot Rate = (1 + time adjusted interest rate of $) / (1 + time adjusted interest rate of Euro)
To find Uncovered rate of return from US (Ruh), we put expected spot rate, spot rate and time adjusted interest rate of Euro in above equation :
$ 1.20 / 1.25 = (1 + 1* interest rate of $) / (1 + 1*0.075)
Hence, Interest Rate of $ = 3.2%
Hence, Uncovered rate of return from US (Ruh) is 3.20%.
Similarly, to find Uncovered rate of return from Euro zone (Ruf), we put expected spot rate, spot rate and time adjusted interest rate of US in above equation :
$ 1.20 / 1.25 = (1 + 1*0.035) / (1 + 1* interest rate of euro)
Hence, interest rate of Euro = 7.81%.
Hence, Uncovered rate of return from Euro zone (Ruf) is 7.81%.

Explanation:
A hotel is deciding how many reservations to accept for major one-night event in Indianapolis. The hotel has 180 rooms available. Managers believe that 92 percent of those with a reservation will actually show up. An empty room costs the hotel $175 per room. However, if the hotel oversells the rooms, and more than 180 customers show up, the hotel will need to make other arrangements for these guests. The cost of placing these extra guests in other accomodations is $375 per room needed. How many rooms should the hotel sell for this particular night to minimize their costs? +xls
Answer:
Hotel A, Indianapolis
The number of rooms that the hotel should sell for this particular night to minimize their costs is:
= 196 rooms.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Hotel rooms available = 180
Expected percentage of reservations that will actually show up = 92%
Cost per empty room = $175
Cost per room for overbooking and placing extra guests in other accommodations = $375
The number of rooms to sell this particular night to minimize costs = 180/92% = 196 rooms
Booking 196 rooms will ensure that the maximum rooms are fully taken by the reservationists and the hotel can only incur a probable cost of $375 per overbooked guest.

Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. Compute the net present value of Project X. 2. Compute the net present value of Project Y. 3. Which project would you recommend the company accept?
Answer:
x = $4,332.01
y = -776.54
project x because its NPV is positive
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
Project X
Cash flow in year 0 = -19000
Cash flow in year 1 to 6 = 19,000
I = 14%
NPV = $4,332.01
Project Y
Cash flow in year 0 = -19000
Cash flow in year 1 to 5 = 0
Cash flow in year 6 = $ 40,000
I = 14%
NPV = -776.54
