Answer 1

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%.

Answer:

Cash payback method

Explanation:

Cash payback technique is a method used by financial experts to analyse capital projects to see which ones they can invest in and which one to avoid.

This method is used to estimate the time it will take for a project to recoup the original cost of investment. It estimated when a business will payoff initial cost and start giving the investor profit.

A firm has sales of $1,220, net income of $226, net fixed assets of $544, and current assets of $300. The firm has $101 in inventory. What is the common-size statement value of inventory

Answers

Answer:

11.97%

Explanation:

Common size statement value of inventory is where all accounts are expressed as a percentage of total assets.

Total assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets

= $544 + $300

= $844

Common size statement value of inventory = Inventory ÷ Total assets

= $101 ÷ $844

= 0.1197

= 11.97%

Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $70 per share and the required return on the stock is 14 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?

Answers

Answer: $4.58

Explanation:

The required return is said to be evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield.

That means that Dividend Yield = 7%

Capital gains yield = 7%

The Dividend Yield is based on the next dividend and given the expected return the dividend is;

Expected Return = Dividend Yield + Capital gains yield

Expected Return = Dividend(1 + g)/stock price + Capital gains yield

0.14 = Dividend ( 1 + 0.07)/70 + 0.07

70 * (0.14 - 0.07 ) = Dividend ( 1.07)

4.9 =  Dividend ( 1.07)

Dividend = 4.9/1.07

Dividend = $4.58

Answers

Answer: did not change

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that On May 1, 2010, Ziek Corp. declared and issued a 10% common stock dividend and that prior to this dividend, Ziek had 100,000 shares of $1 par value common stock issued and outstanding. We are further informed that the fair value of Ziek 's common stock was $20 per share on May 1, 2010.

If the rate of inflation is 2.2% per year, the future price pt (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following exponential function, where t is the number of years from today.

p(t)=1200(1.039^t)

Find the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today.

Answers

Answer:

1693.25

Explanation:

The computation of the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today is shown below:-

p(t) = 1,200 × (1.039)^t

Now, the current price can be found by putting t = 0

p(0) is

[tex]1,200\times (1.039)^0 = $1,200[/tex]

The price 10 years from today

p(9) is

[tex]1,200\times (1.039)^9[/tex]

Now we will solve the above equation

= 1,200 × 1.411041958

= 1693.25035

or

= 1693.25

A bond with a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon has a yield to maturity of 5.60% and a current price of $975. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is its current yield?

Answers

Answer:

Current Yield is 5.74%

Explanation:

Current yield is the ratio of coupon payment of a bond to its current market price.  It is calculated by using coupon payment and the current market value of the bond.

Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 5.6% = $56

Current market price = $975

Formula for Current yield is as follow

Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price

Current Yield = $56 / $975

Current Yield = 0.0574% = 5.74%

Answers

Answer:

Annual demand(D) = 1,210

Ordering cost(S) = $26

Annual holding cost (H) = $24

With the order quantity(Q) = 25,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(25/2)24] + [(1210/25)26]

= $300 + $1258.4

= $1558.4

With the order quantity(Q) = 40,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(40/2)24] + [(1210/40)26]

= $480 + $786.5

= $1266.5

With the order quantity(Q) = 50,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(50/2)24] + [(1210/50)26]

= $600 + $605

= $1205

With the order quantity(Q) = 60,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(60/2)24] + [(1210/60)26]

= $720 + $524.33

= $1244.33

With the order quantity(Q) = 100,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(100/2)24] + [(1210/100)26]

= $1200 + $314.6

The following information describes the production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 28,000 lbs. at $4.90 per lb.
Actual direct labor used 8,650 hours for a total of $174,730
Actual units produced 51,600
The budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $6.85 per pound and 10 minutes of direct labor at $21.20 per hour.
1. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances. Do not round intermediate calculations.
2. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Actual Quantity = 28,000

Actual Price  = 4.90

Standard Quantity = 25,800  

Standard Price  = 4.85

1)a. Direct Material Price variance = (Standard price – Actual Price)*Actual Quantity

= (4.85 - 4.90) * 28,000

= $1,400 U

b. Direct Material Quantity variance = (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)*Standard price

= (51,600*0.5 - 28,000)*4.85

= $10,670 U

2) a. Direct Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate)*Actual Hours

= (21.20 - 20.2) * 8,650

= $8,650 F

b. Direct Labor Efficiency variance = (Standard Hours – Actual Hours)*Standard rate

= (51,600*1/6 - 8,650) * 21.20

= $1,060 U

First, we need to allocate costs to Segment B:

Segment B= 180,000/540,000= 0.33

Allocate= 0.33*180,000= 60,000

Now, we can calculate the profit:

Segment B profit= 180,000 - 60,000= 120,000

A manager is attempting to assess the probability of a recession ending in the next six months and its impact on expected profitability. The manager believes there is a 75 percent chance the recession will end in six months and profits will return to $400 million. However, there is a 25 percent chance the recession will not end in six months, resulting in a $5 million loss. The expected profits over the next six months are:

Answers

Answer:

Expected profit = $298.75 million

Explanation:

To calculate the expected return or expected profits, we will simply multiply the probability of each event by the return expected in that event and take a sum the answers. Thus, the expected profit can be calculated as follows,

Expected profit = Probability of recession ending * Profit if recession ends + Probability of recession not ending * profit or loss if recession does not end

Expected profit = 0.75 * 400  +  0.25 * -5

Expected profit = $298.75 million

Which of the following statements about executing and evaluating the promotion program is most accurate?

a. Although there are five elements in the promotional mix, the only element that reallybenefits from an IMC audit is advertising.
b. Most IMC programs have no difficulty creating a pretest, but posttests are much moredifficult to construct since a number of unknown elements must be measured.
c. To fully benefit from IMC programs, companies must create and maintain a test-resultdatabase that allows comparisons of the relative impact of the promotional tools and theirexecution options in varying situations.
d. The ideal IMC program does not need any evaluation if it is executed according to plan.E. The most effective IMC audits are external. Internal audits tend to skew results to fitexpectations.

Answers

Answer:

disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit

Explanation:

Arbitrage is defined as the practice where there is simultaneous buying and selling of an asset so as to benefit from a price difference.

Usually the price differences occur in different markets, so the arbitrator acts as a supplier of the goods to market where goods are to be sold.

For example if a company buys fertiliser from a whole seller and immediately sells the goods to a farmer's cooperative at higher price this is arbitrage.

So abitrage opportunity is when disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government _______________ results in ______________ interest rates, causing ______________ in private spending on investment and consumer durables.

Answers

Answer: Deficit; higher; a decrease

Explanation:

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government deficit results in higher interest rates, causing a decrease in private spending on investment and consumer durables.

The Crowding-out effect is what happens when a Government increases its spending past its revenues and gets a budget deficit. In other to balance its books therefore it will borrow heavily.

If the Government is such a large one like the American Government or the British Government, the borrowing might be so large that it will have the effect of reducing the amount of loanable funds in the market thereby increasing the interest rates due to a reduced supply of loanable funds.

As there are now increased interest rates, it will be more expensive for companies to borrow to spend on investment or for consumers to spend on durables. It will have the effect of crowding out the private sector.

4. Suppose you hold a PUT option on Israeli shekels with a strike price of 3.4207s/$. If the spot rate on the final day of the option is 3.4329s/$, how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000? Should you do it?

Answers

Answer:

Profit $3,567

I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

Explanation:

Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000

First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount

3.4329s*$1,000,000

=$3,432,900

Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price

3,432,900/3.4207

=$1,003,567

Last Step is to find the profit

Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000

Profit=$3,567

Therefore the amount of PROFIT you would make trading $1,000,000 will be $3,567

Based on the above calculation I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

Titan Mining Corporation has 7.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 280,000 shares of 4.5% preferred stock outstanding, and 165,000 bonds with a semi-annual coupon rate of 5.9% outstanding, par value $2,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $61 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $95 per share, and the bonds have 19 years to maturity and sell for 109% of par. The market risk premium is 7.1%, T-bills are yielding 3.5%, and the company’s tax rate is 25%.
A. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?
B. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?

Answers

Answer:

A. The Capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt

B. The  firm should discount the project’s cash flows at 4.45 %.

Explanation:

Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Preferred Shares

Market Value of Equity =  280,000 shares × $61

                                      =   $17,080,000

Market Value of Preferred Shares = 280,000 shares × $95

                                                        = $26,600,000

Market Value of Debt = 165,000 bonds × $2,000 × 109%

                                    = $359,700,000

Total Market Value = $403,380,000

Capital Structure :

Weight of Equity = $17,080,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                            = 4.23 %

Weight of Preferred Shares = $26,600,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                                              = 6.59 %

Weight of Debt = $359,700,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                          = 89.17 %

Thus, the market value capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt

Firms use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to discount the project’s cash flows.

Cost of Debt, r

PV = $2000 × 109 % = - $2,100

PMT = ($2,000 × 5.9%) ÷ 2 = $59

n = 19 × 2 = 38

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, Pretax cost of debt, r is 5,47 %

After tax cost of debt = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 5,47 % × ( 1 - 0.25)

                                   = 4.10 %

Cost of Equity

Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Risk Premium Portfolio

                       = 3.5 % + 1.15 × 7.1%

                       = 11.67 %            

Cost of Preference Stock            

Cost of Preference Stocks = 4.5%

WACC = ke(W/V) + kd(D/V) + kp(P/V)

           =  11.67 % × 4.23 % + 4.10 % × 89.17 % + 4.5% × 6.59 %

           =  4.45 %

A catering company prepared and served 375 meals at an anniversary celebration last week using 3 workers. The week before, 2 workers prepared and served 225 meals at a wedding reception
a1. Calculate the labor productivity for each event. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Anniversary Wedding meals/worker meals/worker
a2. For which event was the labor productivity higher?
Anniversary
Wedding

Answers

Answer:

for anniversary = 125

for wedding = 112.5

anniversary

Explanation:

Labour productivity = number of meals / total number of workers

for anniversary = 375 / 3 = 125

for wedding = 225 / 2 = 112.5

labour productivity is higher for the anniversary because one unit of labour produces more meals when compared to the wedding.

When a deliverable arrived, Craig met with the team member responsible
for ordering the deliverable to confirm it was the correct model and size.


Which of the following project elements was Craig monitoring in this scenario?

a. Budget
b. Schedule
c. Scope
d. Risk

Answers

Answer:

Project Element Craig Monitored in this scenario:

d. Risk

Explanation:

The element of the project that Craig monitored ensures that the deliverable conforms with the correct model and size because there is the risk that this could not conform if a deliverable was not not checked with the team member who ordered the deliverable.  Since higher risks of deliverables not conforming to model and size would render the whole project unsuccessful, Craig has to meet with the team member responsible.  In order words, the meeting between Craig and the team member for confirmation of correct model and size eliminates the risks of non-conformance.

In the example above when deliverable came and Craig met with the team member for ordering confirming whether the model and size was correct, Craig was monitoring Risk. So the correct option is D.

Risk refers to the possibility chances that the desired or the expected result will be obtained from the activities that are undertaken. Risk is directly related to the reward of such activity.

In the example above where Craig confirms whether the model and size of goods arrived were correct with the help of the team member who ordered such deliverable, risk was being monitored.

In this case the risk can be denoted by value of 1 as the chances of getting the correct model and size are equal with chances of getting the incorrect model and size. Risk can be denoted by beta .

[tex]\rm Risk = \beta[/tex]

Monitoring of risk is an important aspect so as to ensure whether the activities undertaken for the benefit of the business are standing true to their efforts or not.

Hence, the correct option is D that Craig was monitoring risk by checking the deliverable was correct in terms of model and size with the help of a team member.
