The Hirt & Block mutual fund has assets of $147 million, liabilities of $7 million and 7 million shares outstanding. The shares trade at $21.60 per share. What is the percentage load fee?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The load fee would be the excess percentage amount charged on the share over the Net Asset Value per share.

= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]

Net Asset value Per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares

= (147 - 7) / 7

= $20

Load fee

= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{21.60 - 20}{20}[/tex]

= 8%

Explanation:

Long-term capital gains tax is a tax on profits from the sale of an asset which an investor has held for more than a year. The approved long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income bracket and whether you are filing as a single or jointly as married.  But, an important point to note is that long-term capital gains tax rates are generally lower than short-term capital gains tax rates, thus encouraging investors to hold assets for a longer time.  Short-term capital gains tax rates are the rates applicable to the normal individual income tax brackets.

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?

Answers

Answer:

Cost performance index is 81.25%

Explanation:

Actual cost = $80,000

Planned value = $70,000

Earned value = $65,000

Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.

CPI = EV / AC

= $65,000 / $80,000

= 0.8125

= 0.8125 x 100

= 81.25%

A company issued 5-year, 7% bonds with a par value of $100,000. The market rate when the bonds were issued was 6.5%. The company received $102,105 cash for the bonds. Using the straight-line method, the amount of recorded interest expense for the first semiannual interest period is:

Answers

Answer:

$3,289.5

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of recorded interest expense for the first semiannual interest period is shown below:-

Amortization of premium = Premium amount ÷ Number of semi-annual periods

where

Premium amount = Par value - issue price

= $102,105 - $100,000

= $2,105

Number of semi-annual periods = 5 × 2

= 10 periods

Amortization of premium = $2,105 ÷ 10

= 210.5

Semi-annual interest expense = Face value × Coupon rate × (6 ÷ 12)

= $100,000 × 7% × (6 ÷ 12)

= $3,500

First semi-annual interest expense = $3,500 - 210.5

= $3,289.5

Appraisal cost = Annual inspection costs + Annual testing cost

Where,

Annual inspection costs =$172,000

Annual testing cost=$535,000

Let plug in the formula

Appraisal cost = $172,000 + $535,000

Appraisal cost = $707,000

Therefore Sam's appraisal cost for quality last year will be $707,000.

A gift-wrapping business is staffed by Kaitlyn, Rob, Sam, Susan and Sarah. The production by each of the staff members for an average eight-hour work day is as follows:

Assume that the standard or normal productivity in the organization is 10 minutes per package. What is Kaitlyn's efficiency?

Kaitlyn Rob Sam Susan Sarah
72 packages 55 packages 52 packages 52 packages 48 packages

a. 0.75 (75%)
b. 1.50(150%)
c. 9.0 packages per hour
d. 1.50 packages per hour
e. 9.0 minutes per package

Answers

Answer:

b. 1.50(150%)

Explanation:

Given that, the standard time per packages is 10 minutes

Then, the total time taken in eight hour shift is 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

The standard output = Total time taken / Standard time = 480/10 = 48 packages

Therefore, the efficiency of Kaitlyn = Kaitlyn's Output / Standard output

=72 / 48

= 1.5

Hence, the answer is 150% or 1.5

Using the same information from before, please calculate the WACC of Correct Inc. assuming a risk free rate of 2.5%, a company Beta of 1.2 and a market risk premium of 6%.

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 21.7%

Explanation:

The firm is an all-equity finance firm which implies that the company uses only equity funds to finance its its operation without the use of debt. Therefore, the cost of the equity of the firm would be the same as its cost of capital (WACC)

The WACC can be determined using the the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The CAPM relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) - required return

β- Beta

Rm- Return on market  

Rf- Risk-free rate

Rm-Rf- Market risk premium

DATA

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.5%, Rm-Rf- 6% , β- 1.2

E(r) = 2.5% + 1.2× (16%) = 21.7 %

Cost of equity = 21.7%

WACC = 21.7%

Marks Company makes one product, for which it has established the following standards for materials: Average quantity of material per unit of product: 4.5 pounds Price per pound of materials, $16 During March, Marks made 10,000 units of the product, using 50,000 pounds at a total purchase price of $825,000. What is the materials price variance

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $25,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard price= $16

During March, Marks made 10,000 units of the product, using 50,000 pounds at a total purchase price of $825,000.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 825,000/50,000= $16.5

Direct material price variance= (16 - 16.5)*50,000

Direct material price variance= $25,000 unfavorable

] A firm is producing 1,000 units at a total cost of $5,000. If it were to increase production to 1,001 units, its total cost would rise to $5,008. What does this information tell you about the firm?

Answers

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is an example of the completely stated question:

A firm is producing 1,000 units at a total cost of $5,000. If it were to increase production to 1,001 units, its total cost would rise to $5,008. What does this information tell you about the firm?

a. Marginal cost is $5, and average variable cost is $8.

b. Marginal cost is $8, and average variable cost is $5.

c. Marginal cost is $5, and average total cost is $8.

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.

Answer:

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.  

Explanation:

Marginal cost of production is the change in cost, arising from the production of an additional unit of output. it is the cost of manufacturing one more unit of product. Mathematically, marginal cost is represented as:

[tex]Marginal\ cost = \frac{change\ in\ cost}{change\ in\ quantity\ produced} \\[/tex]

change in cost (ΔC) = C₂ - C₁ = 5,008 - 5,000 = 8

change in quantity produced = Q₂ - Q₁ = 1,001 - 1,000 = 1

[tex]Marginal\ cost = \frac{8}{1} = \$8[/tex]

∴Marginal Cost = $8

Average Total Cost (ATC) or average cost or unit cost is the total cost divided by the number of units produced. It is represented as

[tex]ATC =\frac{TC}{Q} \\where\\ATC = Average\ total\ cost\\\TC = Total\ cost\ = \$5,000\\Q = units\ of\ goods\ produced = 1,000\\[/tex]

∴ ATC = 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = $5

The Whistling Straits Corporation needs to raise $74 million to finance its expansion into new markets. The company will sell new shares of equity via a general cash offering to raise the needed funds. The offer price is $45 per share and the company's underwriters charge a spread of 6 percent. If the SEC filing fee and associated administrative expenses of the offering are $825,000, how many shares need to be sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answers

Answer:

1,768,913 new stocks

Explanation:

the company needs to raise amount needed to finance expansion plus SEC's filing and administrative fees = $74,000,000 + $825,000 = $74,825,000

net amount received per stock issued = stock price x (1 - underwriting fee) = $45 x (1 - 6%) = $42.30 per stock

the company needs to issue = $74,825,000 / $42.30 per stock = 1,768,912.53 = 1,768,913 new stocks

Suppose Rocky Brands has earnings per share of ​$2.33 and EBITDA of ​$29.3 million. The firm also has 5.3 million shares outstanding and debt of ​$125 million​ (net of​ cash). You believe​ Jared's Outdoor Corporation is comparable to Rocky Brands in terms of its underlying​ business, but​ Jared's has no debt. If​ Jared's has a​ P/E of 12.9 and an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 7.1​, estimate the Enterprise Value of Rocky Brands by using both multiples. Which estimate is likely to be more​ accurate?

Answers

Answer:

enterprise value to EBITDA.

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the stock using P/E ratio is shown below:-

Stock value = (P/E ratio × EPS) × Number of shares outstanding

= (12.9 × $2.33) × 5.3 million

= 159.3021 million

Now, the computation of the value of the stock using EBITDA multiple is shown below:-

Stock value = (EBITDA multiple × EBITDA) - Net debt

= (7.1 × $29.3 million) - $125 million

= 208.03 - $125 million

= 83.03

There is no equivalent corporate debt. It is easier to make a comparison at the operating level and thus a better measure of valuation is the enterprise value to EBITDA.

A small town with one hospital has two ambulances to supply ambulance service. Requests for ambulances during nonholiday weekends average .45 per hour and tend to be Poisson-distributed. Travel and assistance time averages two hours per call and follows an exponential distribution. Find:

a. System utilization.

b. The average number of customers waiting.

c. The average time customers wait for an ambulance.

d. The probability that both ambulances will be busy when a call comes in.

Answers

Explanation:

Given: -

The number of ambulances is(m) =  2.

Arrival rate = 0.45 per hour

Service time = 2 per hour

Service rate =?

service time = 2 (Travel and assistance time averages two hours per call)

Therefore, Service rate will be 1/2 = 0.5 per hour.

a). System utilization(p) = arrival rate/mean of ambulances*service time

p = 0.45/2×0.5 = 0.45.

(b) :- The average number of customer waiting or waiting time for an ambulance is equal to:-

Arrival rate divided by the service rate ( on its corresponding service time as per table value)

I.e. Arrival time = 0.45 ÷ service rate =0.5

= 0.9 ( see table value for 0.9 with service rate as 2)

It comes to 0.229.

Therefore, the average number of customers waiting. 0.229.

(c) :- The average time customers wait for an ambulance is equal to :

No. of customers waiting for ÷ arrival rate

0.229 ÷ 0.45 = 0.508

Or 0.509 (approx. )

D) probability of Both ambulances is idle is Po = 0.378 (from the table for the value of and M=2)

So Probability of both ambulance is busy = 1-Po

= 1 - 0.378

= 0.622

1. Assume that all common stock is issued for cash. What amount of cash dividends is paid during 2015?
2. Assume that no additional notes payable are issued in 2015. What cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015?

Answers

Answer:

1. $2,800

2. $40,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of cash dividends is paid during 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Retained earnings

Dividend paid               $2,800         Beginning balance   $8,400

($8,400 + $30,000

- $35,600)                                          Net income                $30,000

Total                              $2,800                                            $38,400

                                                          Ending balance         $35,600

Therefore cash dividends is paid during 2015 is 2,800

2. The computation of cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Notes payable

Cash paid                        $40,000   Beginning balance   $69,000

($69,000 - $29,000)

Total                                 $40,000                                   $69,000

                                                         Ending balance       $29,000

Therefore cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance

in 2015  is $40,000

Andy Pearson ran PepsiCo Inc. for nearly 15 years, driving revenues from $1 billion to $8 billion. In 1980, Fortune named him one of the 10 toughest bosses in the United States. Pearson was singled out for the relentless demands that he put on his people. As one employee put it, Pearson's talents were often "brutally abrasive." Every year, without hesitation, he fired the least productive 10% to 20% of his workforce. Pearson used a(n) _____ leadership style.

Answers

Answer:

authoritarian leadership style

Explanation:

In simple words, An authoritarian form of leadership relates to the leadership style  where a leader determines strategies and practices, defines what objectives are to be accomplished, and manages and monitors all operations without substantive involvement by subordinates. An authoritative style of management can be highly successful in some cases, but also has negative consequences on community participants or staff.

Suppose you bought a bond with an annual coupon rate of 4.2 percent one year ago for $900. The bond sells for $950 today. a. Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year? b. What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. If the inflation rate last year was 2.5 percent, what was your total real rate of return on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

a) total return = ($1,000 x 4.2%) + ($950 - $900) = $92

b) nominal rate of return = total return / total investment = $92 / $900 = 10.22%

c) we calculate the approximate real rate of return = nominal rate of return - inflation rate = 10.22% - 2.5% = 7.72%

if we want to determine the exact real rate of return:

exact real rate of return = [(1 + nominal rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1 = (1.1022 /1.025) - 1 = 7.53%

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

Answers

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

b. Days' sales in inventory
c. Accounts receivable turnover
d. Acid test rato

Answers

Answer:

 1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.  

Explanation:

Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.

For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.

This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:

($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)

The answer is 0.52667

Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.

Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.

1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover          

2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.

. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.

3.   The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:

A) Days' sales Uncollected and

C) Accounts receivable turnover.

A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by

(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365

It is the number of days before receivables are collected.

The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.

C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

What type of policy lowers interest rates to allow individuals access to more money for large purchases

Answers

Complete Question:

What type of policy lowers interest rates to allow individuals access to more money for large purchases?

Group of answer choices

A. Fiscal.

B. Stimulus.

C. Discount.

D. Monetary.

Answer:

D. Monetary.

Explanation:

Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country. In order to boost economic growth, monetary policy is used to increase money supply (liquidity) while it is also used to prevent inflation by reducing money supply.

Generally, money supply comprises of checks, cash, money market mutual funds (MMF) and credit (mortgage, bonds and loans).

Additionally, monetary policy lowers interest rates to allow individuals access to more money for large purchases.

Anderson International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows:
Year Cash Flow
0 160,000
1 335,000
2 400,000
3 295,000
4 250,000
All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to Improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are "blocked" and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 4 percent.
If Anderson uses a required return of 7 percent on this project, what are the NPV and IRR of the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Enter your IRR as a percent.)

Answers

Answer:

since the positive cash flows are blocked for one year, you have to adjust your cash flows:

year                 cash flow

0                      -$160,000

1                        $0

2                       $348,400

3                       $416,000

4                       $306,800

5                       $260,000

discount rate = 7%

using a financial calculator:

NPV = -$160,000 + $1,063,318.63 = $903,318.63
