Answer: True
Explanation:
The expected completion time of a project is determined when the duration of every activity that takes place on the critical path is established.
Three phenomena that tend to bias the expected completion time of projects are inflated time estimates, activity time variability with path interdependencies, and resource dependence.
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%.
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%
Polly Khan is trying to calculate the current market rate given the following information: Investor’s have been requiring a 12% annual return on Builtrite’s stock which has a beta of 2.0 and the current risk-free rate is 4%. What is the current market rate?
Answer:
The current market rate is 8%
Explanation:
The market rate is the return on market or the market portfolio. To calculate the market rate (rM) we will use the CAPM equation which is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock or portfolio. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the market rateWe already know the value of r, rRF and Beta. We will input these values in the above equation to calculate the market rate.
0.12 = 0.04 + 2 * (rM - 0.04)
0.12 - 0.04 = 2 * rM - 0.08
0.08 + 0.08 = 2 * rM
0.16 / 2 = rM
rM = 0.08 or 8%
To arrive at an accurate balance on a bank reconciliation statement, a credit memorandum from the bank for the collection of a note and interest should be
Answer:
Must be added to the book balance.
Explanation:
The correct treatment would be to add this value to book balance because the bank has increased our bank balance by the note and interest amount. This must be accounted for as increase in the book balance because we have borrowed money and also that yearly interest income was also added to our bank checking account.
Hence it must be added to cash book balance in order to reconcile with the bank balance.
The Clifford Corporation has announced a rights offer to raise $17 million for a new journal, the Journal of Financial Excess. This journal will review potential articles after the author pays a nonrefundable reviewing fee of $6,000 per page. The stock currently sells for $42 per share, and there are 2.9 million shares outstanding. a. What is the maximum possible subscription price? What is the minimum? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.) b. If the subscription price is set at $34 per share, how many shares must be sold? How many rights will it take to buy one share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your rights needed answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the ex-rights price? What is the value of a right? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) d. A shareholder with 2,000 shares before the offering has no desire (or money) to buy additional shares offered as rights. What is his portfolio value before and after the rights offer? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
A.Maximum possible subscription price $42 per shares
Minimum price $0
B.Number of new shares $500,000
Numbers of right needed 5.8
C.Ex-rights price $40.82
Value of a right $1.18
D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000
Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000
Explanation:
A.
The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares
The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0
B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold
Using this formula
Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share
Let plug in the formula
Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share
Number of new shares=$500,000
Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share
Using this formula
Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000
Numbers of right needed=5.8
C. Calculation for the ex-rights price
Using this formula
Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)
Let plug in the formula
Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)
Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8
Ex-rights price=$40.82
Calculation for the value of a right
Using this formula
Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price
Let plug in the formula
Value of a right=$42-$40.82
Value of a right=$1.18
D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42
Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000
Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)
Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360
Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000
g An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Answer:
C. decreases; falls
Explanation:
As we know that
The rise in taxes results in low disposable income for individuals that lowered the spending of the consumer also the consumer spending is an element of the aggregate demand so ultimately it declines that result the curve to shift leftward or downward
Due to this, the real GDP also falls, and the price level too
Hence, the correct option is c.
Predatory pricing is considered an anti-competitive practice, and is considered illegal under competition laws. Which of the following best describes predatory pricing?
A. Predatory pricing requires one company to aquire the assets of another.
B. One business chooses to put another out of business by pricing its product below the level another competing business must be at to make a profit.
C. Predatory pricing occurs when a firm colludes with one or more firms to fix prices or output.
D. Predatory pricing is when a business sends someone out to change the price of another company's product so it is higher than its own.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Predatory pricing is when a company sets the price of its goods or services too low with the aim of eliminating the competition. Predatory pricing is illegal and it violates antitrust law.
Predatory pricing occurs when a firm colludes with one or more firms to fix prices or output. This is an example of collusion and they usually occur in an oligopoly
Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 50 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 35% of the $12 unit cost and that annual demand is about 235 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?
Answer:
ordering costs = $22.34
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)
D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 5050 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]
2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20
$10,500 = 2 x S x 235
S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34
Joseph contributed $25,000 in cash and equipment with a tax basis of $6,400 and a fair market value of $12,600 to Berry Hill Partnership in exchange for a partnership interest.
a. What is Joseph’s tax basis in his partnership interest?
b. What is Berry Hill’s basis in the equipment?
Answer:
(A) $31,400
(B) $6,400
Explanation:
Joseph contributed $25,000 in cash and equipment
The tax basis is $6,400
The fair market value paid to Bill hill partnership is $12,600
(A) Joseph tax basis in his partnership interest can be calculated as follows
= contribution+tax basis
= $25,000+$6,400
= $31,400
(B) Since Joseph contributed a tax basis of $6,400 to Bill hill partnership in exchange for a partnership interest then, Bill hill's basis in the equipment is $6,400
Barry Cuda is considering the purchase of the following Builtrite bond: $1000 par, 3 1/4% coupon rate, 10 year maturity that is currently selling for $940. If Barry purchases this bond, what would his approximate yield to maturity be?
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 3.97%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates the price of the bond to the present value of its future cash flow receivable from it.
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 3 1/4%= 32.5
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C- 32.5, Face Value - 1,000, P-940
YM = (32.5+ (1000-940)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 940) )
YM = 0.0397 × 100 = 3.97%
Yield to Maturity = 3.97%
Samm Corp. purchased a plot of land for $100,000. The cost to raze a building on the property amounted to $50,000 and Samm received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials. Samm built a new plant on the site at a total cost of $800,000 including excavation costs of $30,000. What amount should Samm capitalize in its land account?
a. $150,000.
b. $140,000.
c. $130,000.
d. $100,000.
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000
The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000
Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials
$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site
The excavation costs was $30,000
Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows
= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials
= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000
= $150,000-$10,000
= $140,000
Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.
Your estimate of the market risk premium is %. The risk-free rate of return is %, and General Motors has a beta of . According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?
Answer:
The correct option is option A) 16.4%.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted from it. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9%. The risk-free rate of return is 3.8% and General Motors has a beta of 1.4. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?
Options:
A) 16.4%
B) 17.2%
C) 14.8%
D) 15.6%
The question is now answered as followed:
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) can be described as a model that is employed to compute a theoretical required rate of an asset in order decide whether or not to add assets a portfolio of investment that is well-diversified.
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected return can be calculated using the following formula:
Expected return = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market ris premium) .......... (1)
Where;
Risk-free rate of return = 3.8%
Market risk premium = 9%
Beta = 1.4
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
Expected return = 3.8% + (1.4 * 9%) = 16.40%
Therefore, the correct option is option A) 16.4%.
Moorcroft’s assistant controller suggested that Moorcroft hire a part time collector to encourage customers to pay more promptly and to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts. Sales are still 40% cash and 60% credit but the assistant controller predicted that this would cause credit sales to be collected 30% in the month of the sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 18% in the second month following sale; 2% are uncollectible.Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June. How did these changes impact cash collections?
Answer:
The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:
Month Sales
April $300,000
May $320,000
June $370,000
Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400
Total cash collections during June = $343,000
Since the cost of the part time collector is $1,000 per month, and the total uncollectible accounts reduce from 4% to 2%, which represents $7,400 for June's sales, I would recommend hiring the collector.
Best Foods, Inc. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10 percent. The company generates EBIT of $4,250 per year and has a tax rate of 35 percent. If the firm adds $10,000 of debt to its capital structure, what is the value of the levered firm?
Answer:
The value of the levered firm $31,125
Explanation:
Value of Firm is the value of present value of expected future earning. It is calculated by dividing the earning after tax by the cost of capital while considering that the business will operate for the foreseeable future time.
EBIT $4,250.00
Less
Interest $0.00
EBT $4,250.00
Tax 35% x 4250 $1,487.50
EAT $2,762.50
Cost of Capial 10%
Value of firm = EAT / Cost of Capital = $2,762.5 / 10% = $27,625
Debt after tax = $10,000 x ( 1 - 0.35 ) = $6,500
Value of Equity = Value of firm - Debt after tax = $27,625 - $6,500 = $21,125
Value of debt = $10,000
Value of levered Firm = $21,125 + $10,000 = $31,125
In Year 1 Jorge buys a home for $200,000, making a down payment of $40,000 and taking out a loan from the bank for $160,000 to finance the balance. In Year 5 the remaining loan balance is $130,000 while the home has increased in value to $270,000. Jorge refinances with a loan company that agrees to lend 125% of the value of the home, or $337,500, using $130,000 to repay the bank loan and providing $207,500 in cash. Jorge immediately spends $10,000 of the cash on a lavish vacation to the Bahamas, and $20,000 to pay down credit cards.
How much of the $337,500 home equity loan balance is allowable for calculating the home mortgage interest deduction on Jorge’s Year 5 tax return?
a. $270,000
b. $240,000
c. $230,000
d. $220,000
Answer:
Under current tax law, no option is correct. Before 2018, option C would have been right.
Explanation:
Currently under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025) you can only deduct interests on mortgages used to purchase, build or improve your home. In this case, Jorge will only be able to deduct the interests paid on the $130,000 he owed for the first mortgage.
Interests on home equity loans will again be deductible (up to $100,000) starting Jan. 2026.

5. Suppose that a firm is in an industry which has a very rapid rate of growth (in sales and output), and is characterized by technological change and innovation. Firms attempt to maximize profits causing new firms to enter the industry attracted by profit potential. The result is that profits are competed away, leading to even greater innovation and change. Is there a limit to this continuous change
Answer:
If we use high tech industry as our subject here, I would say that there is no limit to continuous change. We can look at he last 45 years and ever since Steve Jobs developed the Apple I, PCs have continuously evolved into different products and their rate of technological evolution has currently increased. Any modern smartphone is hundreds of times more powerful than the first PCs, they are even more powerful than huge computers that existed back then. Currently high tech companies are trying to develop AI, and who knows what after. The only problem is that project lives tend to be very short, but that is part of the game. The profit margins of the firms that are successful are huge, just look at how Apple became the first company to be worth more than 2 trillions.
Indicate the type of Deferred Tax account created by Unearned Revenues and Prepaid Expenses, respectively:
Answer:
The answer is Deferred tax asset and Deferred tax liability.
Explanation:
Unearned revenue creates deferred tax asset. In here, taxes have been paid because income has been received but have not been recognized on the income statement because according to the revenue recognition, the services for the revenue has not been rendered.
Prepaid expenses give rise to deferred tax liability. In here, taxes have been recognized on income statement but the actual tax has not been paid. Income tax expense on income statement is greater than taxes payable
If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?
Explanation:
Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs FoundationPsychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.Hope it will help you.I would answer some questions honestly but if there are some questions which i can't tell the truth i will tell some lies. because if u really like this job and don't want to loose it, it's ok to give wrong answers just for once! That's my opinion. :p. But be careful u might get in trouble if they find out ur lying!

The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate
Answer:
Explanation:
The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.
Hence,
Par Value = $800
Face Value = $1,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
Since the interest is semi annual
i = 8% / 2 = 4%
CF = $15.34
Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%
A portfolio with a 20% standard deviation generated a return of 10% last year when T-bills were paying 5.0%. This portfolio had a Sharpe ratio of ____. A. 0.45 B. 0.20 C. 0.25 D. 0.15
Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
A portfolio has a standard deviation of 20%
The portfolio also generated a return of 10%
T-bills were paying 5%
Therefore, Sharpe ratio of the portfolio can be calculated as follows
Sharpe ratio= 10-5.0/20
= 5/20
= 0.25
Hence the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio is 0.25
Masterson, Inc., has 3.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $85.50, and the book value per share is $9.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $73 million, a coupon rate of 5.3 percent, and sells for 95.7 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $45 million, a coupon rate of 5.9 percent, and sells for 104.9 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 11 years. The most recent dividend was $4.04 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 23 percent.
1. What is the company's cost of equity?
2. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
3. What is the company's weight of equity?
4. What is the company's weight of debt?
5. What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %

market rate 3.8%, semiannual = 1.9%
par value $10,000
market price of the bonds = PV of par value + PV of coupon payments
PV of par value = $10,000 / (1 + 1.9%)⁴⁰ = $4,710.13
PV of coupon payments = $225 x 27.84144 (PV annuity factor, 1.9%, 40 periods) = $6,264.32
market value = $4,710.13 + $6,264.32 = $10,974.45
Answer:
The dollar price of the bond is $10,974.45.
Explanation:
The dollar price of the bond, PV, can be determined as follows :
N = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = ($10,000 × 4.5%) ÷ 2 = $225
P/YR = 2
YTM = 3.80 %
FV = $10,000
PV = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the dollar price of the bond, PV is $10,974.45.

Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.
Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?
Answer:
Price of bond= $75,075.58
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of the bond for Akers Company can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000
Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 = 5% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
3000 × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 = 37,386.63
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) = 37,688.95
Price of bond
Price of bond = 37,386.63 + 37,688.95 = 75,075.58
Price of bond= $75,075.58
Richards Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricating Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 80,000 units, 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 250,000. Units completed and transferred out: 330,000. Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $37,200. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $79,700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $646,800. Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $919,300. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.
Answer:
$2.90 per equivalent unit of conversion
Explanation:
equivalent units of conversion (under FIFO) = [units in beginning inventory x ( 1 - previous conversion rate)] + units started and completed + (units in ending inventory x conversion rate) = [80,000 x (1 - 20%)] + 250,000 + (30,000 x 10%) = 64,000 + 250,000 + 3,000 = 317,000 units
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = total conversion costs / total equivalent units of conversion = $919,300 / 317,000 units = $2.90 per equivalent unit
