Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 13% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,065 and it sells for $1,200. What is the bond's nominal yield to maturity

Answers

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the nominal yield to maturity (YTM) formula as follows:

Yield to maturity = [C + ((F - P) / n)] / [(F + P) / 2]  ........ (1)

Where;

F = Face or par value = $1,000

C = Coupon or interest payment = $1,000 * 13% = $130

P = quoted price = $1,200

n = Years to maturity = 10

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Yield to maturity = [130 + ((1,000 - 1,200) / 10)] / [(1,000 + 1,200) / 2]  = 0.10, or 10%.

According to the Fair Value framework and to the lecture, what should companies try to do?


a. Offer fair value on all three bundles.

b. Offer better than fair value on all three bundles.

c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle.

Answers

Answer:

c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle

Explanation:

According to the Fair Value framework companies should try to Offer fair value on two bundles and as well try to offer better than fair value on the other bundle which simply means that in a situation where their are two bundles companies should tend to offer fair value on them and they should as well offer something that is far better than fair value on other bundle.

Therefore Fair value can be seen as an estimated price in which either asset or liability can be sold out or settled to a third party under recent and current market conditions.

The inventory data for an item for November are: Nov. 01 Inventory 16 units at $22 04 Sale 9 units 10 Purchase 29 units at $23 17 Sale 17 units 30 Purchase 24 units at $24 Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of merchandise sold for November if the company uses LIFO? a.$1,013 b.$743 c.$589 d.$582

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold $ 589

Explanation:

Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.

The total value of purchases = (16 × $22)  + ( 29 × $2) +  (24 × $24)= $1,595

The cost of goods sold can worked out as follows:

Nov 4th - 9 × $22    = 198

Nov 17th - 17× $23 = 391

Cost of goods sold = (198+ 391 )=$ 589

Cost of goods sold $ 589

How are the project management processes that surround Scrum similar to and different to how the project management processes surround a project life cycle like SDLC (Waterfall)? Describe how the hybrid approach would make sense or not make sense for either your organization or an organization that you are familiar with.

Answers

Answer: The answers are provided below

Explanation:

There are several similarities between the project management processes which surround scrum to the traditional project management processes which surrounds a project life cycle such as Waterfall. When one looks at each iteration as a project, one will see that Scrum planning meeting will be identical to planning meeting of the traditional project.

The daily standups in scrum will resemble the monitoring and the controlling of traditional waterfall with the exception that in scrum, its team monitors itself. A sprint would be the execution stage while the sprint review will be like project closure lessons that are learned. Sprint can be seen as small waterfall model project.

However, the main difference is in the scrum's team mindset versus the team of the traditional project management. Also, the process of work defining as being completed is different for the teams. Lastly, the method used by the scrum team in its approaches to work, team collaboration, responsibility acceptance, tasks definition and accountability are different from the traditional project management team.

A hybrid approach will be sensible in a large organization which has pockets of power. This is true for large retails that have old legacy systems in which frequent deployments aren't possible.

This is true for systems in which, testing can't be automated due to the fact that automated testing is a vital part for success for large scrum projects. In such organizations, it is sensible to use scrum for the teams which are able to move to scrum and waterfall can be used for other parts of the organization.

Agency theory presents some important managerial considerations. Broadly speaking, governance mechanisms need to assure alignment of incentives between principals and agents. The text provides an example of financial institutions in the situation of profits remaining within the firm while losses are paid by the public as a description of:________.A) a board of directors' problem.B) a challenge of information symmetry.C) a moral hazard problem.D) a private information problem.E) an adverse selection problem.

Answers

Answer: a moral hazard problem

Explanation:

Agency theory is a principle used to explain and resolve the issues in the relationship that exists between business principals and their agents. The relationship is usually the one between the shareholders who act as the principals, and the company executives who act as the agents.

When banks are bailed out through public funds for the excessive risky mortgage obligations or undue risk taking, this lead to increase in moral hazard. The gains of successful risk taking will stay with the private firm and the risks would be shared with the other parties.

A roofing company collects fees when jobs are complete. The work for one customer, whose job was bid at $3,900, has been completed as of December 31, but the customer has not yet been billed. Assuming adjustments are only made at year-end, what is the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end?

Answers

Answer:

Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;

Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3,900

Explanation:

Here, no cash transaction was involved. Since the job has been completed but  the customer has not been billed yet, this simply means it has to be debited with accounts receivable, which is recognised as current asset and recognised as revenue for the period, hence needs to be credited.

This means that accounts receivable has to be debited with the amount of $3,900 while roofing fees revenue has to be credited with the amount of $3,900

Considering the above, the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end would be:

Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;

Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3.900

In its first month of operations, Concord Corporation made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 250 units at $6, (2) 350 units at $8, and (3) 450 units at $9. Assuming there are 150 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under (a) the FIFO method and (b) the LIFO method. Concord Corporation uses a periodic inventory system.

Answers

Answer:

FIFO - $1350

LIFO - $900

Explanation:

Total inventory = 250 + 350 + 450 = 1050

Total inventory sold = 1050 - 150 = 900

FIFO means first in , first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the last purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 3rd purchase of inventory

150 x $9 = $1350

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the first purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 1st purchase of inventory

150 x $6 = $900

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors, and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 16%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The alpha for the informed investors is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

3.6%

Explanation:

The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha

16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha

16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha

16% = 12.4% + Alpha

So,

Alpha = 3.6%

We simply applied the above formula to determine the alpha

The rate of return is a metric for determining whether an investment has made a profit or loss money over time.

Given Information:-

Beta=1.4Expected return=16%expected return=10%Risk-free rate=4%

The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:

Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha

16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha

16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha

16% = 12.4% + Alpha

Alpha = 3.6%

Available for advertizing campaing 480,000

Explanation:

First we calculate the current operating income:

sales price less all uniit operating cost

90 - 35 - 12 - 8 - 5 - 15 - 8 = 7

$7 x 60,000 units =  $420,000 operating income

Now we calculate the new contribution margin and operating income

materials + labor + variable overhead + variable sale = total variable

35 + 12 + 8 + 15 = 70

new contribution margin per unit

98 - 70 = 28

sales 60,000 units less 10% = 54,000 units

contribution margin

28 x 54,000 =                      1,512,000

Fixed overhead                    300,000

Fixed selling and adming     480,000

You believe that the Non-Stick Gum Factory will pay a dividend of $2 on its common stock next year. Thereafter, you expect dividends to grow at a rate of 5% a year in perpetuity. If you require a return of 12% on your investment, how much should you be prepared to pay for the stock

Answers

Answer:

$28.57

Explanation:

Dividend growth model can only be used in a situation where the firm pays a dividend which can tend to grow at constant rates reason been that the stock has been influenced by the growth rates which is involved in the dividends which means the firm can increase the dividends.

Therefore the Dividend that is to be paid next year will be:

$2Growth rates

5 %Rates of return

12% Return on Investment

Formular for the calculation of current price of the stock = D1/(r-g)

Where:

D1=2%

r=12%

g=6%

Hence:

2/ (0.12-0.05)= $ 33.33

=2/0.07

=$28.57

Therefore the amount I should be prepared to pay for the stock today will be $28.57

Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.

Mathematically, that can be written as;

V = P(1 + r)^n

Where V is the future value

P is the present value which is $8,000

r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)

n is the number of years which is 25 years

Now plugging these values into the equation, we have

V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25

V = 8,000(1.06)^25

V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335

We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration

Mathematically, this can work as follows

P = V(1 + i)^n

Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration

V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335

i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)

n is the number of years which is 25

Substituting these values, we have;

P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25

P = 34,335/(1.018)^25

P = 21,980.75

Which is approximately P = $21,981

Last year, Bad Tattoo Co. had additions to retained earnings of $4,865 on sales of $95,805. The company had costs of $75,885, dividends of $3,040, and interest expense of $2,120. If the tax rate was 35 percent, what the depreciation expense

Answers

Answer:

The depreciation expense is $5638.46 and the Addition to retained earnings is 4865

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Sales  = $95805

Less: Costs = $75885

Less depreciation expense ($95805 - $75,885 - 14281.54) = $5638.46

EBIT (12161.54 + 2120) = 14281.54

Less: Interest expense =2120

EBT (100%)(7905/0.65) = 12161.54

Less: tax at 35%(12161.54*35%) =4256.54

The Net income(65%) = 7905

The Less:dividends = 3040

Addition to retained earnings =4865

Rebecca Reyher wrote (and copyrighted) a children’s book entitled My Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. The story was based on a Russian folktale told to her by her own mother. Years later, the children’s TV show Sesame Street televised a skit entitled "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World." The Sesame Street version took place in a different locale and had fewer frills, but the sequence of events in both stories was identical. Has Sesame Street infringed Reyher’s copyright?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Initially, yes it did violated the law. But it depends.

Explanation:

To begin with, we need to understand that when it comes to the law of copyright the consequences of violating it depends on the particulary situation that the parties shared. Therefore that initially, Sesame Street would have violated the copyright law if they did not establish a contract that can allow them to use that story. However again, if in a first place the Reyher violated the law then Sesame Street will be out of charges becuase the first violation was caused by the writter and in other case it could also be seen as therewas no violation due to the fact that is a russian folktale and those stories have no copyright.

Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $3.65 and $2.66 over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 3.3 percent. What is the stock price today if the required return is 12.3 percent

Answers

Answer:

The stock price today is $ 29.56

Explanation:

Dividend for year 1, d₁ = $ 3.65

Dividend for year 2, d₂ = $ 2.66

Required rate = 12.3% = 0.123

Growth rate = 3.3% = 0.033

Value after year 2= (d₂ × Growth rate) ÷ (Required rate - Growth rate)

= (2.66 × 1.033) ÷ (0.123 - 0.033)

=30.5308889

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

= (3.65÷1.123) + (2.66÷[tex]1.123^2[/tex] ) + (30.5308889 ÷[tex]1.123^2[/tex] )
