A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?
Answer:
Variance of the return = 0.01983
Explanation:
[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1
Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%
Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)
Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2
Variance = 0.01983
Seven Manufacturing Corporation uses both standards and budgets. The company estimates that production for the year will be 100,000 units of Product Fast. To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
Required:
Compute the estimates for a standard cost.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $14
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 100,000
To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
First, we need to calculate the total cost and then the unitary cost:
Total cost= 600,000 + 800,000= $1,400,000
Unitary cost= 1,400,000/100,000= $14
The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.
Answer:
annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326
Explanation:
the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = -$831,500
PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor
annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326
using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.
So our IRR = 20%
Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE
Answer:
1. Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment = 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
1. Average total asset
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)
Where;
Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2
Sales = $910,000
Average total asset = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:
2 = $910,000 / Average total asset
Average total asset = $910,000 / 2
Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:
Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)
Where,
Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07
Net income = ?
Sales = $910,000
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:
7% = Net income / $910,000
Net income = $910,000 * 7%
Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:
Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)
Where;
Net income = $63,700
Average total asset = $455,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000
Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE)
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)
Net income = $63,700
Average stockholders' equity = $490,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000
Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%

TB MC Qu. 8-174 LBC Corporation makes and sells ... LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.0 hours of direct labor at the rate of $16.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The company plans to sell 39,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 610 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
Direct labor cost= $1,232,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each unit of Product WZ requires 2 hours of direct labor at a rate of $16 per direct labor-hour.
Sales= 39,000 units
Beginning inventory= 610 units
Desired ending inventory= 110 units
First, we need to calculate the production required:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 39,000 + 110 - 610
Production= 38,500
Now, the direct labor budget:
Direct labor hours= 38,500*2= 77,000 hours
Direct labor cost= 77,000*16= $1,232,000
You are aware that your neighbor trades stocks based on confidential information he overhears at his workplace. This information is not available to the general public. This neighbor continually brags to you about the profits he earns on these trades. Given this, you would tend to argue that the financial markets are at best _____ form efficient.
Answer:
Semi-strong Form Efficient.
Explanation:
There are three levels of market efficiency as weak, semi-strong and strong.
In a semi-strong form efficient market, the stock prices change independently of the previous return points and the current information so it is not possible to predict the future stock prices.
The example given in the question, which states that the neighbor has non-public information, can be classified as a semi-strong form efficient market.

The break-even point is a.the maximum possible operating loss. b.where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart. c.the total fixed costs. d.the maximum possible operating income.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
To a layman, break-even point is the point where an entity neither make profit nor loss. It is the point where total revenue equals total cost(where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart).
Points greater or above this intersection or point mean the firm is making profit and points lesser or below this intersection or point mean the firm is making loss.

A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:
Answer:
$30.75
Explanation:
Given that
Security bidding = $30.25
Offered price = $30.75
over the counter trading = $30.75
Commission charged = $0.50
based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50
Hence, the price is $30.75

The firm uses the IRR method and has a hurdle rate of 10%. Will Idaho accept the project? A. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 10%. B. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 5%. C. Idaho rejects the project because it has an IRR less than 10%. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-450,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000
IRR = 5.62%
Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment
Answer:
The cost of the equipment is $45,416.
Explanation:
The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.
The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.
However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.
Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)
Since,
Purchase price = $41,600
Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.
Freight charges = $624
Installation costs = $696.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416
Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.

c) 17,100 units
d) total sales revenue $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400
contribution margin = $102,600
- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) 20.38%
f.1) 30%
f.2) $22,800
Explanation:
Total Per unit
Sales $314,000 $20
Variable expenses $219,800 $14
Contribution margin $94,200 $6
Fixed expenses $75,000
Net operating income $19,200
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $75,000 / $6 = 12,500 units
units needed to yield expected profits = (fixed costs + expected profits) / contribution margin = ($75,000 + $27,600) / $6 = 17,100 units
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($314,000 - $250,000) / $314,000 = 20.38%
contribution margin ratio = (total revenue - variable costs) / total revenue = ($314,000 - $219,800) / $314,000 = 30%
$76,000 x 30% = $22,800
The monthly break-even point in unit sales is 12,500 units. The total contribution margin at the break-even point is $75,000.
c) 17,100 units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of S27,600.
d) total sales revenue of $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400
contribution margin = $102,600
- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) The company's margin of safety in percentage terms is 20.38%.
f.1) The company's CM ratio is 30%.
f.2) The Expected monthly net operating income to increase by $22,800.
The break-even threshold is reached when overall costs and total revenues are equal, leaving your small firm with no net benefit or loss. In other words, you've achieved the point in manufacturing when the income from a product matches the cost of manufacturing.
A formula known as net operating income (NOI) is used to assess the profitability of real estate assets that produce revenue. NOI is the sum of all property revenues less all running costs that are deemed to be reasonably reasonable.
On a property's income and cash flow statement, NOI is a before-tax statistic that does not include loan principal and interest payments, capital expenses, depreciation, or amortization. In other sectors, this term is known as "EBIT," which stands for "earnings before interest and taxes."

Brik Products, located in Atlanta, Georgia, produces two lines of electric toothbrushes: Deluxe and Standard. Because Brik can sell all the toothbrushes it produces, the owners are expanding the plant. They are deciding which product line to emphasize. To make this decision, they assemble the following data:
Per Unit
Deluxe Toothbrush Standard Toothbrush
Sales price $94 $54
Variable expenses 22 16
Contribution margin $72 $36
Contribution margin ratio 75.5% 70.4%
After expansion, the factory will have a production capacity of 4.200 machine hours per month. The plant can manufacture either 68 Standard electric toothbrushes or 26 Deluxe electric toothbrushes per machine hour.
Requirements:
1. Identify the constraining factor for Brik Products.
2. Prepare an analysis to show which product line to emphasize.
Answer:
Brik Products
1. The constraining factor for Brik Products is the 4,200 machine hours.
2. Analysis to show which product line to emphasize:
Product Mix Analysis
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit $72 $38
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Total contribution margin per hour $1,872 $2,584
Decision: Brik Products should emphasize the production and sale of the Standard electric toothbrushes as this rakes in more contribution per the constraining factor, i.e. machine hours.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit 72 38 (not $36)
Contribution margin ratio 76.6% (not 75.5%) 70.4%
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Machine hours available = 4,200 hours
b) Analysis:
For Brik Products, the contribution margin per machine hour = contribution per unit x units per hour. Brik will generate a total contribution margin per product line without producing the other that is equal to the contribution margin per machine hour multiplied by total machine hours.
Assuming that Brik Products concentrates on the production of the standard electric toothbrushes alone, it will generate a total contribution margin of $10,852,800 ($2,584 x 4,200) as against the total contribution margin of $7,862,400 ($1,872 x 4,200) to be generated if only Deluxe electric toothbrushes are produced.
An investor holds a 10 year bond pays a coupon rate of 9%. The yeid to maturity of the bond is 10% . The bond is trading:
Answer:
the bond is trading at a discount
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.
As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.
The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.
A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.
Answer:
NPV = $62,258.56
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 = $400,000
cash inflow year 1 = $100,000
cash inflow year 2 = $200,000
cash inflow year 3 = $300,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56
if you do it by hand:
NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56
You own 150 shares of Western Feed Mills stock valued at $41.20 per share. What is the dividend yield if your annual dividend income is $372
Answer:
6.01%
Explanation:
Calculation for the dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield=(Annual dividend income/Numbers of shares)/Amount per shares
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield =($372/150 shares)/$41.20 per share
Dividend yield =$2.48/$41.20
Dividend yield =0.0601*100
Dividend yield =6.01%
Therefore Dividend yield will be 6.01%
