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?

Answers

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%.

"Gettysburg Grocers’ "stock is expected to pay a year-end dividend, D1, of $2.00 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%, and the stock has a required return of 9%. What is the expected price of the stock five years from today?

Answers

Answer:

$63.81

Explanation:

Current price is computed as follows:

= Expected dividend / (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $ 2 / (9% - 5%)

= $ 50

So, the price in 5 years will be as follows:

= Current price x (1 + growth rate)^5

= $ 50 x 1.05^5

= $50 x 1.2762

= $ 63.81

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 sold

Risks

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.

2. Does Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both years before taxes and interest) to cover the cost of debt financing?
a. Yes
b. No

Answers

Answer:

A.

2015 37.7

2016 12.9

B. Yes

Explanation:

Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015

First step is to find the EBIT

EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $

Gross profit 44,500 58,400

Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)

EBIT 7,600 19,600

Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula

Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense

Let plug in the formula

Time interest earned 2016 2015

EBIT $7,600 $19,600

÷Interest expense $590 $520

=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7

Therefore the Time interest earned will be :

2015 37.7

2016 12.9

2. Yes Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both 2015 and 2016 before taxes and interest in order to cover the cost of debt financing.

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?

Answers

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 %

Hawk Corporation purchased 10,000 Diamond Corporation bonds in 2015 for $55 per bond and classified the investment as securities available for sale. The value of the Diamond investment was $85 per bond on December 31, 2016, and $97 on December 31, 2017. During 2018, Hawk sold all of its Diamond investment at $147 per bond. In its 2018 income statement, Hawk would report:_________.

Answers

Answer:

Gain of $920,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement.

First step is the adjustment of Hawk accumulation of unrealized holding gain and fair value for 205-2017

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=($97- 55) × 10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=$42×10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment= $420,000

Second step is to find the additional increase that occurred in 2018

Additional increase=($147-$97)×10,000 shares

Additional increase=50×10,000 shares

Additional increase =$500,000

Last step is to find the total gain realized in the income statement

Total gain realized=$500,000+$420,000

Total gain realized=$920,000

Therefore what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement will be a gain of $920,000

E 8 C
F 4 D,E

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________

Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?

c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour

= 60 / 5

= 12minutes

Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time

Sum of task time

= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4

= 48

The theoretical minimum number of work stations is

= 48 / 12

= 4

b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.

°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.

°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.

Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.

°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.

°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.

Task Time Workstation

A. 8 1

B. 10 2

C. 8 3

D. 10 4

E. 8 -

F. 4 -

Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.

C. Efficiency of the assembly line

Efficiency ;

= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time

Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.

= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100

= 80%

The theoretical minimum should be = 4

The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent

The production time = 60

The units that are required per hour = 5

[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

= 12

The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4

Explanation:

It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.

So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

            Bonds Payable                        $3400000 Cr

Explanation:

The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.

The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.

Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033

Item 3Item 3 Cutter Enterprises purchased equipment for $87,000 on January 1, 2018. The equipment is expected to have a five-year life and a residual value of $4,800. Using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method, depreciation for 2018 and book value at December 31, 2018, would be

Answers

Answer:

$27,400 and $59,600

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense and the book value using the sum of-the-years'-digits method is shown below:

Depreciation expense is

= (Purchase cost - residual value) × useful life ÷ sum of years

= ($87,000 - $4,800) × 5 years ÷ (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)

= $27,400

And, the book value is

= Purchase cost - depreciation expense

= $87,000 - $27,400

= $59,600

Union Local School District has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 3.8 percent and the bonds have a par value of $10,000. What is the dollar price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

$10,974.45

Explanation:

coupon rate 4.5%, semiannual = 2.25%

20 years until maturity = 40 periods

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.

Choose the best scenario for refinancing.

a. You have a current mortgage at 5% and have been approved for a new mortgage at 3.75%. You’ll break even on the closing costs in two years, and you don’t plan to move for at least five.
b. You intend to move in about nine months, but you have been approved for a mortgage with an interest rate two whole points lower than your current rate.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer: The best scenario for refinancing is:

a. You have a current mortgage at 5% and have been approved for a new mortgage at 3.75%. You’ll break even on the closing costs in two years, and you don’t plan to move for at least five.

Explanation:

This is because, being aware that you will break even on the closing cost in 2 years which is quite better when compared to no of years to stay (atleast five years) gives the person a competitive advantage.

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?

Answers

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 rate

We 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%
