On January 1, 2016, Cobb Co. received, for the sale of a parcel of land, a ten-year note receivable having a face amount of $2,000,000 and a stated interest rate of 8% payable annually each December 31. The market rate of interest for this type of note is 10%. Present value factors are as follows: At 8% At 10% Present value of 1 for 10 periods 0.46319 0.38554 Present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 10 periods 6.71008 6.14457

Answers

Answer: $‭1,754,211

Explanation:

8% of $2,000,000 will be payable every year for 10 years;

= 2,000,000 * 8%

= $160,000

The amount received from selling the land is;

= Present value of interest payable annually + Present value of Note

= (160,000 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 10 years, 10%) + (2,000,000 * present value interest factor, 10 years, 10%)

= (160,000 * 6.14457) + (2,000,000 * 0.38554)

= $‭1,754,211

A stock is currently selling for $79 per share. A call option with an exercise price of $83 sells for $3.95 and expires in three months. If the risk-free rate of interest is 2.8 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the price of a put option with the same exercise price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer: $7.37

Explanation:

The price of a put option with the same exercise price would be calculated as:

C + Xe^-rt = P + S

It should be noted that in the formula above,

P = Put option price

C = price of call option

S = stock price

X = exercise price

r = interest rate

t = time

We then slot in the values which will be:

= 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 = P + 79

P = 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 - 79

P = 3.95 + 82.42 -79

= $7.37

Chez Fred Bakery estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts at 3% of the ending balance of accounts receivable. During 2018, Chez Fred's credit sales and collections were $125,000 and $131,000, respectively. What was the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018, if $180 in accounts receivable were written off during 2018 and if the allowance account had a balance of $750 on December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Percentage of allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3%

Credit sales = $125,000

Collections = $131,000

Amount written off = $180

Therefore, we have:

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 * 3% = $750

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 = $750 / 3% = $25,000

Accounts receivable on 01 January 2018 = Account receivable on 31 December 2018 - Credit sales + Collections + Amount written off = $25,000 - $125,000 + $131,000 + $180 = $31,180

Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

An appliance repair shop buys and uses about 4,212 fan motors annually. Holding cost is 27 dollars per motor per year, and ordering cost is 177 dollars per order. Determine the economic order quantity. Round your number to ZERO decimal point.

Answers

Answer:

15,251 units

Explanation:

The formula for Economic order quantity is;

EOQ = √2DS/H

Where,

D = Annual demand = 4,212

S = Ordering cost = $177

H = Holding cost = $27/4,212 = $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ 2 × 4,212 × $177 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ $1,491,048 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √232603488.37

EOQ = 15,251 units

A coupon bond that pays interest of $60 annually has a par value of $1,000, matures in 5 years, and is selling today at a $75.25 premium from par value. The current yield on this bond is _________.

a. 6%
b. 6.49%
c. 6.73%
d. 7%

Answers

Answer:

b. 6.49%

Explanation:

Calculation for The current yield on this bond

First step is to calculate the Current price

Current price = $1,000 - 75.25

Current price = $924.75

Now let calculate the Current yield using this formula

Current yield =Coupon bond interest/Current price

Let plug in the formula

Current yield = $60/$924.75

Current yield = 6.49%

Therefore the current yield on this bond is 6.49%

Biogenetics, Inc. plans to retain and reinvest all of their earnings for the next 30 years. Beginning in year 31, the firm will begin to pay a $30 per share dividend. The dividend will not subsequently change. Given a required return of 18%, what should the stock sell for today?

Answers

Answer:

the stock sell for today is $1.16

Explanation:

The calculation of the stock sell for today is as follows;

Value after year 31 is

= (D31 ÷ Required return)

= $30 ÷ 0.18

= $166.666667

Now the current value is  

= Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

= $30 ÷ 1.18^31 + $166.666667 ÷ 1.18^31

= $1.16

Hence, the stock sell for today is $1.16

A perpetual bond with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.75% has a current market price of $900. What is its yield to maturity

a. 9.32%
b. 8.33%
c. 7.92%
d. 9.45%
e. 8.61%

Answers

Answer: e. 8.61%

Explanation:

This is a perpetual bond so the price is calculable by;

Price = Coupon / Yield to Maturity

Coupon = 7.75% * 1,000

= $77.50

900 = 77.50/ YTM

900 * YTM = 77.50

YTM = 77.50/900

= 8.61%

Suppose payments were made at the end of each month into an ordinary annuity earning interest at the rate of 4.5%/year compounded monthly. If the future value of the annuity after 11 years is $55,000, what was the size of each payment?

Answers

Answer:

The size of each payment was $322.78.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount after 11 years = $55,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375

n = number of months = 11 years * 12 = 132

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

$55,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00375)^132 - 1) / 0.00375)

$55,000 = M * 170.394706737074

M = $55,000 / 170.394706737074

M = $322.779979808101

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

M = $322.78

Therefore, the size of each payment was $322.78.

As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the sameIf the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth)Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?

Answers

Answer:

(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.

(b) Multiplier is 3.30.

(c) Total impact on spending is $3,300.

Explanation:

(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the same.

In economics, the higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier.

Therefore, as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.

(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth).

This can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.70) = 1 / 0.30 = 3.33333333333333

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have:

Multiplier = 3.30

(c) Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?

Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending * Multiplier = $1,000 * 3.30 = $3,300

The spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises. 3.30 is the multiplier. The total financial impact is $3,300.

What is the total impact on spending?

(a) The spending multiplier grows, declines, or remains constant when the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases.

The higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier in economics.

As a result, the spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises.

(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, the multiplier is: assuming no taxes or imports (Note: round to the nearest tenth).

Computation:

[tex]\text{Multiplier} = 1 / (1 - MPC) \\= 1 / (1 - 0.70) \\= 1 / 0.30 \\= 3.33333333333333[/tex]

If we round to the nearest tenth, we get: a 3.30 multiplier

(c) Given the multiplier you computed, what is the total impact on spending when government spending is increased by $1,000?

[tex]\text{Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending} \text{ x } \text{Multiplier}\\ = $1,000 \text { x } 3.30 = $3,300[/tex]
