This morning you purchased one share of stock for $14. The stock pays $.20 per share each quarter as a dividend. What must the stock price be one year from now if you want to earn a total return of 12 percent for the year
Answer:
$14.88
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is given below:
A total return of 12% means that
= 0.12 × 14
= $1.68 in a year.
Now
The total dividend payments for 4 quarters is
= 0.2 × 4
= $0.8.
Now the price of the stock should increase by
= 1.68 - 0.8
= 0.88
So the stock price one year from now is
= 14 + 0.88
= $14.88
Timken roller bearing is a manufacturer of seamless tubes for drill bit collars. Company is planning to add larger capacity robotic arms to one of its assembly lines 3 years from now. If it is done now, the cost of the equipment is $2.4 million. Assume that the company's real MARR is 15% per year and the inflation rate is 2.8% per year. Determine the equivalent amount the company can spend 3 years from now in then-current dollars.
a. $4,943,200.
b. $2,943,200.
c. $3,943,200.
d. unknown.
Answer:
the equivalent amount the company can spend 3 years from now in then-current dollars is $3,943,200
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent amount the company can spend 3 years from now in then-current dollars is shown below:
= $2,400,000 × (1 + 17.8%)^3
= $2,400,000 × 1.63942
= $3,943,200
Hence, the equivalent amount the company can spend 3 years from now in then-current dollars is $3,943,200
Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 15 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 25 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 6 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing
Answer: 18%
Explanation:
The expected return on the common stock after refinancing will be calculated thus:
Let's assume that common stock is 1000. Therefore, return will be:
= 15% × 1000 = 150
Since 25% of the common stock is repurchased, this will be:
= 25% × 1000 = 250
Then, this 250 is financed by debt at 6%, and this will be:
= 6% × 250 = 15
Then, the new return will be:
= 150 - 15 = 135
Expected Return will now be:
= 135/(1000 - 250)
= 135/750
= 18%
Dan purchases a 1000 par value 10-year bond with 9% semiannual couponsfor 925. He is able to reinvest his coupon payments at a nominal rate of 7%convertible semiannually.Calculate his nom
Answer:
9.2%
Explanation:
Missing word "Calculate his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period"
Semi annual coupon payments = 9% / 2 = 4.5%
Par value = 4.5% * 1,000 = $45
interest rate per period = r = 7% / 2 = 3.5%
Number of periods, n = 2 x 10 = 20
FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / r * [(1 + r)^n - 1]
FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / 3.5% * [(1 + 3.5%)^20 - 1]
FV of all the coupons reinvested = $1,272.59
Receipt of par value at the end of the 10 years = par value = 1,000
Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years = $1,272.59 + 1,000
Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years = $2,272.59
Invested amount = $925
i = nominal interest convertible semi annually.
$925 * (1 + i / 2)^n = 2,272.59
925 * (1 + i / 2)^20 = 2,272.59
i = 2 * [(2,272.59 / 925)^1/20 - 1]
I = 9.19%
I = 9.2%
So, his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period is 9.2%

Accounts receivable $ 18,000 Long-term notes payable $ 21,000 Accounts payable 11,000 Office supplies 2,800 Buildings 45,000 Prepaid insurance 3,560 Cash 7,000 Unearned services revenue 3,000 Compute Chavez Company's current ratio using the above information.
Answer: 2.24
Explanation:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities
Current assets = Accounts receivable + Office supplies + Prepaid insurance + Cash
= 18,000 + 2,800 + 3,560 + 7,000
= $31,360
Current liabilities:
= Accounts payable + Unearned service revenue
= 11,000 + 3,000
= $14,000
Current ratio = 31,360 / 14,000
= 2.24

Lei Corporation has bonds on the market with 12.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.2 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,030. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on these bonds
Answer:
Coupon rate= 19.1%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Years to maturity= 12.5 years
YTM= 7.2 percent
Par value= $1,000
Current price= $1,030
To calculate the coupon, we need to use a financial calculator:
Function= CMPD
n= 12.5
I%= 7.2
PV= -1,030
PMT= solve = $191
FV= -1,000
Now, the coupon rate:

Assume there is a simultaneous decrease in the incomes of people in the market for new homes and a decrease in the wages paid to carpenters, plumbers, and electricians. All else constant, we can predict, with certainty, that in the market for new homes the equilibrium:
Answer:
Lower price for new houses.
Explanation:
The decrease in the income of people will decrease the demand for houses and the demand curve will shift leftwards. Meanwhile, the decrease in the wages for carpenters, plumbers, etc will decrease the cost of production so the producer will supply more when the cost of production decreases. So supply curve will shift rightwards. Resulting there will be lower prices due to shifts in the leftward demand curve and rightward supply curve.
What is the beta for a 2 stock portfolio with a 0.43 weight in Walmart stock and the remainder in Amazon
Answer: 0.82
Explanation:
From the given formulas, the beta of Walmart is 0.3616 and the beta of Amazon is 1.1634.
The portfolio beta is going to be a weighted average of these two betas:
= (0.43 * 0.3616) + ( (1 - 0.43) * 1.1634)
= 0.155488 + 0.663138
= 0.82
The Hi-Stakes Company has a number of importing and exporting transactions. Importing activities result in payables and exporting activities result in receivables. (LCU represents the local currency unit of the foreign entity.)
Required:
If the direct exchange rate increases, does the dollar weaken or strengthen relative to the other currency? If the indirect exchange rate increases, does the dollar weaken or strengthen relative to the other currency?
Answer:
The Hi-Stakes Company
a. If the direct exchange rate increases, the dollar strengthens relative to the other currency.
b. If the indirect exchange rate increases, the dollar also strengthens relative to the other currency.
Explanation:
When the exchange rate increases, it means that more of the other currency is required in order to embark on importing and exporting transactions. However, the increases will weaken the ability of the importing currency to afford the dollar-based goods, which have then being made more expensive.

You are given the following data on US Treasury. The maturity date is May 15, 2041. The asked yield-to-maturity is 2.128%. The coupon rate is 2.35%. You agree to buy the bond June 21, 2021. Assume T 2. Par is $1,000. What is the clean (flat) price
Answer:
$1,035.84
Explanation:
Number of years to maturity (Nper) = 20
Annual Coupon payment (PMT) = 1000*2.35% =$23.50
Payment at maturity (FV) = $1000
Yield to maturity (Rate) = 2.13%
Using the MsExcel Present value function
Clean(flat) price = PV(Nper, PMT, FV, Rate)
Clean(flat) price = PV(20, 23.50, 1000, 2.13%)
Clean(flat) price = 1035.8436
Clean(flat) price = $1,035.84

Answer:
White-collar jobs.
Explanation:
A white-collar worker is a term used since the mid-20th century to describe any individual or social group engaged in a job that requires higher education and professional qualifications, or little or no physical work. Depending on the context, the term white collar may be synonymous with new forms, that is, the working class layer - as opposed to the traditional forms used for the term blue collar - or the middle class, and sometimes the upper class.
White collars are generally better educated and better paid than blue collars. They are characterized by individualism and a greater propensity for liberal ideas as opposed to blue-collar workers who prefer collectivism and conservative values.
Refer to the following information about the Finishing Department in the Gallagher Factory for the month of June. Gallagher Factory uses the FIFO method of inventory costing.
Beginning Work in Process inventory:
Physical units..... 5000
% complete for materials 70%
% complete for conversion costs 25%
Materials cost from May 7350
Conversion costs from May 3125
Product started:
Physical units 44000
Ending Work in Process inventory:
Physical units 4000
% complete for materials 40%
% complete for conversion costs 10%
Manufacturing costs for June:
Materials 96975
Conversion costs 79470
Compute equivalent units for direct materials for June.
Answer:
the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Ending work in process units + units started and completed + opening work in process units
= 40% of 4,000 units + (44,000 - 4,000) + 30% of 5,000
= 1,600 units + 40,000 units + 1,500 units
= 43,100 units
hence, the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
According to the liquidity preference model, the equilibrium interest rate is determined by the: International Monetary Fund. supply of and demand for money. supply of and demand for loanable funds. level of investment spending and saving.
Answer:
Supply of and demand for money.
Explanation:
The equilibrium interest rate is determined by the demand and supply of the money. The interest rate is represented by the verticle axis of the graph and supply and demand for money is represented by the horizontal axis. Thus, the point of intersection between supply curve and demand curve determines the equilibrium interest rate.
A company pays $20,000 for the rights to a well with 5 million gallons of water. If the company extracts 250,000 gallons of water in the first year, what is the total depletion in year 1
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
The cost of the well is $20,000
The capacity of the well is 5 million gallons
The cost of one gallon is therefore:
= Cost of all gallons / Number of gallons
= 20,000 / 5,000,000
= $0.004
If 250,000 gallons were extracted in the first year, the depletion is:
= Number of gallons extracted * Cost per gallon
= 250,000 * 0.004
= $1,000
If monthly demand for a product is 1,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year, how many units would be the order quantity that minimizes annual ordering and holding costs
Answer:
240 units
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes annual ordering and holding costs. It is calculated as :
EOQ = √(2 x annual demand x cost per order) ÷ holding cost per unit
therefore,
EOQ = √(2 x 1,000 x 12 x $6) ÷ $2.50
= √57,600
= 240 units
Thus, 240 units would be the order quantity that minimizes annual ordering and holding costs
A firm has to choose between two technologies; both produce same output with one being labor intensive and other being capital intensive. The firm will use labor intensive technology when _________________.
Answer:
The firm will use labor intensive technology when the marginal product of using labor intensive technology is greater than the marginal produce of capital intensive technology
Explanation:
Marginal product is the change in total product when the amount of input used in changed by 1 unit
When choosing which form of technology to use, a firm would choose the technology that yields the highest marginal product
For example, imagine a firm can choose between using labour or capital in its production. When labour is increased frim 10 to 20 units, output increase from 100 to 500 units
when capital is increased frim 10 to 20 units, output increase from 100 to 200 units
Marginal product of labour = 500 - 100 / ( 20 - 10) = 40
Marginal product of capital = (200 - 100) / (20 - 10) = 20
Marginal product of labour is higher than the Marginal product of capital. the firm should be labour intensive
Dake Corporation's relevant range of activity is 3,500 units to 8,500 units. When it produces and sells 6,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: For financial reporting purposes, the total amount of product costs incurred to make 6,000 units is closest to:
Answer:
$89,100
Explanation:
Direct material = $6.6
Direct labor = $3.6
Variable manufacturing overheads = $1.35
Fixed manufacturing overheads = $3.3
Total production cost per unit = $6.6 + $3.6 + $1.35 + $3.3
Total production cost per unit = $14.85
Total amount of product cost incurred for 6000 unit:
= $14.85 * 6,000 units
= $89,100

The short-run cost function of a company is given by the equation TC=10000+50q, where TC is the total cost and q is the total quantity of output.
a. What is the company's fixed cost?
b. If the company produced 2,000 units of goods what would be its average variable cost?
c. What would be its marginal cost of production?
d. What would be its average fixed cost?
e. Suppose the company borrows money and expands its factory. Its fixed cost rises by $5,000 but its variable cost falls to $45/unit. The cost of interest also enters the equation. Each 1 point increase in the interest rate raises costs by $250. Write the new cost equation.
Answer:
a. 10000
b. 50
c. 50
d. 5
e. TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Explanation:
TC = 10000+50Q
a. the fixed cost Is 10000
b. variable cost, VC = 50Q
at q =2000 units,
average variable cost = [tex]\frac{VC}{Q}[/tex]
= 50Q/Q
= 50
C. Marginsal cost = d(tc)/dq = 50
d. the average fixed cost = 10000/q
= 10000/2000
= 5
e. the final cost would be = 10000+5000= 15000
the variable cost woul be calculated as= (50-45)Q = 5Q
Interest rate = 250r
the new cost equation = TC = 15000+5Q+250r
