Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.50%,the average future inflation rate is 2.50%, a maturity premium of 0.20% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.20%(t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 0.80% applies to A-rated corporate bonds.
Required:
What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?
Answers
Answer:
the 5 year A-rated corporate bond yields 0.3% more than the 10-year Treasury bond
Explanation:
the yield of a 10 year treasury bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + (20% x 10 years) = 8%
the yield of a 5 year A-rated corporate bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 0.8% + (20% x 5 years) = 8.3%
difference in yields = 8.3% - 8% = 0.3%

On January 1, 2017 , Northeast USA Transportation Company purchased a used aircraft at a cost of $ 53,200,000. Northeast USA expects the plane to remain useful for five years (6,500,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $ 5,200,000. Northeast USA expects to fly the plane 900,000 miles the first year, 1,400,000 miles each year during the second, third, and fourth years, and 1,400,000 miles the last year.

Answers
Answer:
1. Compute Northeast USA's depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the straight-line method, theunits-of-production method, and the double-declining balance method.
a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $9,600,000
straight line depreciation = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 5 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 1 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 2 = $9,600,000
b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense per unit of production = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 6,500,000 = $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense year 1 = $7.384615 x 900,000 = $6,646,153.50
depreciation expense year 2 = $7.384615 x 1,400,000 = $10,338,461
c. Double-declining balance method
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $53,200,000 = $21,280,000
depreciation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $31,920,000 = $12,768,000
The ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units . How many units must be produced in February?
Answers
Answer: 15,751.5 units
Explanation:
Units produced in February are calculated as;
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
Ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units.
Ending finished goods for February
= 50% * 15,581
= 7,790.5 units
Ending finished goods for January is beginning for February
= 50% * 15,922
= 7,961
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
= 7,790.5 - 7,961 + 15,922
= 15,751.5 units

opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Shaw Company engages Maya Company to produce a large machine, install the machine, and train their employees on the machine. The machine, installation, and training are distinct, and Maya determines that the contract includes three separate performance obligations. The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract. Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.
Required:
How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?
Answers
Answer:
Machine= 736,000
Installation= 92,000
Training= 92,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract.
Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.
First, we need to determine the proportion of each:
Machine= 800,000/1,000,000= 0.8
Installation= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1
Training= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1
Now, we can allocate:
Machine= 0.8*920,000= 736,000
Installation= 0.1*920,000= 92,000
Training= 0.1*920,000= 92,000

Required ( support your answers with explanations):
a.Calculate the company's return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI).
b.Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment?(Note: the decision model for the division manager is self-interested i.e. centers on the decision's effect on his evaluation criteria)
c.Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a residual income of $50,000 and its manager is evaluated based on the division's residual income, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment?(Note: the decision model for the division manager is self-interested i.e. centers on the effect on his evaluation criteria)
Answers
Answer:
The Clipper Corporation
a. The company's return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI):
ROI = $380,000/$2,000,000 x 100
= 19%
RI = $380,000 - (18% of $2,000,000)
= 380,000 - $360,000
= $20,000
b. Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Department's current return on investment = 20%
Actual return on investment for this project = $12,950/$70,000 x 100
= 18.5%
The manager of the division will not be inclined to request funds to make this investment that will yield an ROI of 18.5% when the department is already making 20%. This new investment will dilute his current ROI and adversely affect his performance evaluation.
c. Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Current divisional residual income = $50,000
Actual residual income from this project,
= $12,950 - (18% of $70,000)
= $12,950 - $12,600
= $350
The division manager will be inclined to request funds for this investment that will increase her Residual Income marginally from $50,000 to $50,350, because her evaluation depends on an absolute figure and not a relative one (ROI).
Explanation:
1. The Clipper Corporation's Residual Income is equal to its operating income minus (minimum required return x operating assets).
2. The Clipper Corporation's Return on Investment is a derivative obtained from dividing the returns of its investment by the cost of the investment.
Here, we are preparing the cpmpany's return on investment (ROI), residual income (RI) etc
a. Computation of the Return on investment (ROI):
Return on investment = (Operating income/Average operating assets) * 100
Return on investment = ($380,000/$2,000,000) * 100
Return on investment = 0.19
Return on investment = 19%
Computation of the residual income (RI)
Residual income = [(Operating income - (Return on investment *Average operating assets)]
Residual income = $380,000 - (18% * $2,000,000)
Residual income = 380,000 - $360,000
Residual income = $20,000
b. Given Information
Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Department's current return on investment = 20%
The actual return on investment for this project will equals:
= (Annual operating income / Investment) * 100
= ($12,950/$70,000) * 100
= 0.185
= 18.5%
Therefore, the manager of the division will not be inclined to request funds to make this investment that will yield an ROI of 18.5% because the department is already making 20%.
c. Given Information
Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Current divisional residual income = $50,000
The actual residual income from this project will be:
= Annual operating income - (Return on investment * Investment)
= $12,950 - (18% * $70,000)
= $12,950 - $12,600
= $350
Therefore, the division manager will be inclined to request funds for this investment that will increase the residual Income marginally from $50,000 to $50,350 because her evaluation depends on an absolute figure and not a relative one (Return on investment).

please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both
Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units
when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.
given:
Average demand= 200
lead time = 3
when safety stock =1
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

when safety stock = 100
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units

While price reduction might be a good strategy to compete in the market, it might not be the best option here. in order to increase demand in a case such as this, the manager should consider increasing product awareness so as to reach more potential buyers and increase market share compared to competitors.

Answers
Answer:
In the United States, Monetary Policy is implemented by the - 4. Federal Reserve
The Federal Reserve of the United States is in charge of implementing the Monetary Policy of the country. It is also in charge of regulating the financial industry, and acting as lender of the last result to prevent financial crisis.
3. Expansionary MonetaryPolicy - can be used to address a Recessionary Gap
During times of economic downturn, monetary policy tends to be expansionary: expanding the money supply to lower the interest rate, so that investment becomes cheaper, and the economy reactivates.
1. Contractionary Monetary Policy - can be used to address an Inflationary Gap.
When the money supply is too high, or has grown too fast, inflation often starts. For this reason, the fed usually implements contractionary monetary policy (less money supply, higher interest rate), in order to keep inflation from increasing.
c. To enact Contractionary Monetary Policy, the central bank will - sell bonds
When the fed sell bonds, it takes money from the market, reducing the money supply.
This - reduces - the amount of cash in the economy.
As explained above.
This will cause bond prices to - fall - and interest rates to - rise
The change in interest rates causes investment and consumption to - fall
shifting - Aggregate Demand
Contractionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to rise, making investment more expensive, and causing price hikes, this will reduce consumption.
This in turn will shift the Aggregate Demand curve to the left or inward.

Answers
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80
Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.
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= 655,200/145,600= $4.5
Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
1. What are Red Bull's greatest strengths and risks as more companies (like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster) enter the energy drink category and gain market share? 2. Should Red Bull do more traditional advertising? Why or why not? Discuss the effectiveness of Red Bull's sponsorships, for example, Bull Stratos. Is this a good use of Red Bull' marketing budget? Where should the company draw the line?
Answers
Answer:
Strengths
RedBull is a well-established brand in the Energy Drink sub-sector.It has been in existence since 1987 making it a 33-year-old company. That's a lot of experience doing the same thing. Given its years of experience, consumers have a lot of confidence in its brand. This means it has strong brand equity.As of 2019, RedBull still has the highest market share of any energy drink in the world with a record 7.5 billion cans soldRisks
The challenge is this, Coca-cola is a much older company with about 128 years behind it. It was established in 1892.Coca-cola equally has a very strong brand equityIn the carbonated drinks sub-sector, it has dominated the sector since 2004. It's market share is estimated at 42.5%.It has about 500 brands compared to Redbull which has only one brand.In Pepsi was created in 1893. Just one year younger than Coca-cola. It currently has about 24.9% of the soda market. Within the cola segment alone, it has about 100 flavours.Monster energy as a strong entrant into the energy drink market is only 18 years old and it already has 49 different drinks with about 14% market share worldwide.Suffice it to say that if Red Bull does not concieve of a critical strategy to maintain market dominance, it may continue to bleed it's market share.
2. Red Bull should do more than traditional advertising.
There is no reason why it can go into the Soda space. There are countries where the big players still exert a huge dominance. Mexico, for instance, consumes the more coca-cola than anywhere else in the world.
Red Bull in addition to keeping it's market share through aggressive advertising, can enter into the soda market, targeting these regions where coca-cola and other players seem to have a pseudo monopoly.
Red Bull can also look at creating more flavours depending on the psychographics of the target market it is looking at.
Bull Stratos
Red Bull Stratos is the official name for the project involving Mr Baumgartner's mission. Mr Baumgartner's project involved a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space which cost about USD 30 million. It is on record that this is nothing like what Red Bull have ever done before and it did so at a fraction of it's annual sports marketing which is estimated at about USD 300 Million.
To answer the question about its effectiveness, its definitely yes.
Over 8 million people saw the jump which had the Red Bull logo/ branding conspicuously displayed. It was dubbed "the most successful Public Relations campaign of year 2012."
The line will always be dictated by the metrics which show returns on marketing budget invested.
Any strategy that currently works to enhance the brand of Red Bull or at least keep its dominance over the energy drink market, must be explored.

4.$75,000
5.$100,000
Explanation:
Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas
1.Current Ratio
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES
CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000
CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times
2. Working Capital
WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES
WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000
WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000
3. Acid ratio
ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES
ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000
ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times
4. Receivable turnover
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times
Working
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000
5. Inventory Turnover
INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY
INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000
INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times
Working
AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2
AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2
AVERAGE INVENTORY = $100,000
Zapper has beginning equity of $293,000, net income of $69,000, dividends of $58,000 and stockholder investments of $24,000. Its ending equity is:
Answers
Answer:
$328,000
Explanation:
As we all know that:
Ending Equity = Opening Equity + Share Issues + Net Income – Net Loss – Dividends Paid
Here,
Opening Equity is $293,000
Money raised through Shares Issuance was $24,000
Net Income would be $69,000
Dividends paid were $58,000
There were no losses as their is Profit for the year (Net Income).
By putting values, we have:
Ending Equity = $293,000 + $24,000 + $69,000 - $58,000
= $328,000

Answers
Answer:
The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.
Explanation:
Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.
Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.
You notice that Coca-Cola has a stock price of $41.86 and EPS of $1.88. Its competitor PepsiCo has EPS of $3.65. But, Jones Soda, a small batch Seattle-based soda producer has a P/E ratio of 34.2. Based on this information, what is one estimate of the value of a share of PepsiCo stock?
Answers
Answer:
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82
Explanation:
Stock price of Coca-cola = $41.86
EPS = $1.88
P/E ratio = MPS / EPS
P/E ratio = $41.86 / 1.88
P/E ratio = 22.27
Jones soda P/E ratio = 34.2
Pepsi Co stock EPS = $3.65
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = EPS * P/E ratio
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $3.65 * 22.27
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $81.2855
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82
If Tex's Manufacturing Company purchases the component externally, $20,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. At what external price for the 100 units is the company indifferent between making or buying
Answers
Answer:
$210,000
Explanation:
The computation of the external price is shown below
Making cost = buying cost
$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)
$220,000 = External price + $10,000
So,
External price = 210,000
Hence, the same is to be considered
Therefore the external price is $210,000
