Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $10 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per year in perpetuity, while investment B pays $1.2 million in the first year, with cash flows increasing by 3% per year after that. At what cost of capital would an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent?
Answer: 15%
Solving this would require finding the rate/cost of capital that gives both investments the same present value.
Investment 1
Investment 1 is a perpetuity which means that it's present value can be calculated as,
= Amount/rate
= 1,500,000/r
Investment 2
Investment 2 pays $1,200,000 in the first year and then grows at a rate of 3% every year afterwards.
The Present Value of such can be calculated with the following equation,
= Amount / ( rate/cost of capital - growth rate)
= 1,200,000 / ( r - 3%)
To find the Rate that gives both figures the same Present Value, simply equate them.
1,500,000/r = 1,200,000 / (r - 3%)
1,500,000(r - 3% ) = 1,200,000r
1,500,000r - 45,000 = 1,200,000r
300,000r = 45,000
r = 45,000/300,000
r= 0.15
r = 15%
At 15% an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent.
Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q where p is price in $ per hour and q is hours per month. The firm faces a constant marginal cost of $1. If the firm will charge a monthly access fee plus a per hour rate, the monthly access fee will equal A. $5. B. $16. C. $1. D. $8.
Answer: B) $16
Explanation:
First lets take down the data given to us;
access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q i.e 5 - 0.5q
Using the concept of two-part terrific which is a monopolistic market system, it is type of price discrimination where the price of goods and services are of two section namely; a lump-sum fee (expensive) as well as a per-unit charge .
Entry fees are set to be equal to the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium.
So we calculate our price and quantity in the competitive equilibrium first, marginal cost is equal to price
5 - 0.5q = 1
4 / 0.5 = q
q = 8
Now the intercept of the demand curve at the vertical axis is 5,
so the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium is:
M = (5 - 1) * 8 / 2
M = 4 * 4
M = 16
the monthly access fee will be equal to $16.

Perdue found that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, so it pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall. This potential ethical issue was associated with which element of the marketing mix?
1. product
2. price
3. distribution
4. marketing communications promotion
Answer:
1. Product
Explanation:
Perdue finding out that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall.
Hence, this potential ethical issue is associated with product marketing mix because Perdue was very much concerned about the quality level, safety and reliability of his chicken products. This simply means, Perdue is much more interested in producing and selling highly uncontaminated products to it's customers.
A product marketing mix is focused mainly on the products, reason Perdue pulled the chicken products off the shelves and instituted a recall.
This would help to boost confidence among their customers to use more of their products in the future and by extension their market share.
According to WSJ article, companies like Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney recently issued new bonds on the market, totaling $27 billion offering on a single day on Sep. 3. What explains such an increased activity in a corporate bond market
Answer: Fall in Benchmark Interest Rates.
Explanation:
This activity was caused by a Refinancing Drive. Refinancing is when entities get a new loan with a lower interest rate and pay off the older loan with a higher interest rate so that they can pay at the lower rate.
Bond interest rates are usually fixed so when interest rates in a country fall, bond holders don't benefit from that. One option they have to take advantage of that is to go on a Refinancing Drive and issue new bonds at those lower rates and then pay off the older ones.
That is what Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney have done.

Blythe Company has provided the following information: Sales price per unit $40 Variable cost per unit 18 Fixed costs per month 12,800 What is the amount of sales in dollars required for Blythe to break even? (Round any percentages to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
Explanation:
The break-even point is the selling price at which the selling price, equals the cost of production. no profit is made, but no loss is incurred too.
we will use the formula for calculating required selling price, to calculate the break-even price as follows:
Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue
Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost
contribution margin = 40 - 18 = $22
Net sales revenue = $40
∴ contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue) × 100
= 22 ÷ 40 = 55.00% = 0.55
∴ Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Required selling price = (12,800 + 0) ÷ 55.00%
= 12,800 ÷ 0.55 = 23,272.7 = 23,273 (to the nearest dollars)
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
g The law of supply states that, other things equal, an increase in a. price causes quantity supplied to increase. b. price causes quantity supplied to decrease. c. quantity supplied causes price to increase. d. quantity supplied causes price to decrease.
Answer:
a. price causes quantity supplied to increase.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that, other things equal, an increase in price causes quantity supplied to increase. An increase in price causes the supply curve to slope upward, thus, giving producers of goods and service providers, an incentive to supply more quantity of their products and vice-versa.
Also, the demand for goods and services has an effect on the quantity of goods and services provided by the producers or suppliers. Hence, an increase in the demand for a product would result in an increase in price, thereby causing the producers to supply more quantity in order to maximize profits.
For instance, an electronic gadget company will manufacture more television sets if the price of those television increases.
A water utility is planning to construct a grease treatment facility so that local haulers will not have to transport grease to a city 550 km away. The facility will cost $400,000 to build and $160,000 per year to operate. Benefits to the haulers and restaurant owners (through reduced costs) are expected to be $250,000 per year. If the facility will have a 10-year life, the B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to:
Answer:
The B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to 1.17
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% per year we would have to make first the following calculations:
Present Worth(PW) of annual operating cost (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,160000,0) = $1,177,613.93
PW of annual benefit (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,250000,0) = $1,840,021.76
Present cost (at beginning of project) = $400,000
Therefore, to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% we would use the following formula:
B/C ratio at 6%=PW of benefits-PW of disbenefits/Initial cost+PW of operating and maintenance-PW of salvage value
B/C ratio = ($1,840,021.76 - 0)/($400,000 - $1,177,613.93) = 1.17
You plan to borrow money from your grandmother to start a new chocolate candy business. You agree to make one payment of $100,000 at the end of 6 years and negotiate an interest rate of 7%. Your grandmother has offered to reduce either the interest rate or the number of years before the $100,000. Assuming your grandmother will lend you the present value of the final payment and that you want to borrow as much as possible today, which option would you prefer?
Answer:
future payment $100,000 in 6 years
agreed interest rate 7%
the present value of the $100,000:
PV = $100,000 / (1 + 7%)⁶ = $66,634
if your grandmother really likes you and offers to either reduce the interest rate or the number of years, you should choose a reduction in the interest rate:
PV at 6% = $100,000 / (1 + 6%)⁶ = $66,634
PV at 5% = $100,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $74,622
PV at 4% = $100,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶ = $79,031
PV at 3% = $100,000 / (1 + 3%)⁶ = $83,748
PV at 2% = $100,000 / (1 + 2%)⁶ = $88,797
PV at 1% = $100,000 / (1 + 1%)⁶ = $94,205
the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of the $100,000
Kelly received a $60,000 salary during 2017. Her federal income tax withholding rate was 20%, and the Social Security base amount for 2017 was $118,500.What is the total amount that her employer should have withheld in 2017?
A. $15,390
B. $16,590
C. $15,979
D. $6,849
Answer: B. $16,590
Explanation:
The FICA tax rate which is the combined Social Security and Medicare rate for 2017 was 7.65%.
Assuming a base of $118,500 this means that you are taxed on your first $118,500 in earnings.
Kelly only made $60,000 so the tax rate will apply to her $60,000.
Adding that to the 20% that she is due to pay on Federal Income tax the total amount her employer withheld was,
= (60,000 * 20%) + (60,000 * 7.65%)
= 12,000 + 4,590
= $16,590
Option B is correct.
Betty contributed land with a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to the ABC Partnership in Year 1. In Year 2, the land was distributed to Sally, another partner in the partnership. At the time of the distribution, the land had a $12,000 fair market value, and Sally had a $30,000 basis for her partnership interest. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution? What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
Answer:
a. Gain recognized by Betty on the distribution is $4,000.
b. Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
Explanation:
a. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution?
When an asset contributed by a partner to a partnership is distributed, the gain or loss to be recognized by the partner that contributed the asset is the difference between the fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the asset. Therefore, we have:
Gain recognized by Betty = FMV of the land - Basis of the land = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
b. What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
When an asset of partnership is distributed to another partner in a partnership, the partner's basis for the distributed asset is the FMV of the distributed asset.
Since the FMV of the land contributed by Bettt but now distributed to Sally is $10,000, Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
One reason the federal government might "bail out" farmers in flood prone areas of the country? A. Such flooding is diversifiable, but the market for such insurance policies cannot clear without the assistance of the International Community. B. Such flooding is diversifiable, but insurance company CEOs are more concerned with their stockminusholder wealth than the wellminusbeing of farmers. C. Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only nonminusprofit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks. D. Such flooding is known to happen on a regular basis and therefore there is no "risk" to be insured against.
Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks
Explanation:
One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks.
In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.

pledge drive is a vivid example of a voluntary program. sometimes, only some few public television are able to get donations to run their day to day program/activities. most times, the subscription will be an addition to others and also large source of revenue. most times the incentives to join and dangers of shirking is a problem affecting voluntary program
The State of Idaho issued $2,000,000 of 7% coupon, 20-year semiannual payment, tax-exempt bonds 5 years ago. The bonds had 5 years of call protection, but now the state can call the bonds if it chooses to do so. The call premium would be 5% of the face amount. Today 15-year, 5%, semiannual payment bonds can be sold at par, but flotation costs on this issue would be 2%. What is the net present value of the refunding? Because these are tax-exempt bonds, taxes are not relevant.
Answer:
$278,606
Explanation:
Calaculation of the net present value of the refunding:
The first step is to calculate call premium :
Call premium= 2,000,000 x 5%
= 100,000
Second step is to calculate the Flotation cost
Flotation cost = 2,000,000 x 2%
= 40,000
Calculation for Old interest = 2,000,000 x (7% / 2) = 70,000
Caluclatio fo New interest = 2,000,000 x (5% / 2) = 50,000
Therefore the Six months savings will be:
20,000 70,000 + 50,000 + 20,000 = 140,000
The PV of savings 30 periods 5% / 2 will be:
20,000 x 20.9303 = 418,606
Therefore the Net Present Value of the refunding will be:
418,606- 140,000
= $278,606
Match the following terms with the best definition given.
a. Currently attainable standard
b. Favorable cost variance
c. Ideal standard
d. Nonfinancial performance measure
e. Unfavorable cost variance
- An example is number of customer complaints.
- Actual cost > standard cost at actual volumes
- Actual cost < standard cost at actual volumes
- Normal standard
- Theoretical standard
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
a. Currently attainable standard - Normal standard.
When a company says that a certain level of production is it's Currently Attainable Standard, they mean that this is the normal standard that they are able to operate in. That it is the standard that they have the actual capacity to produce at and so is normal for them.
b. Favorable cost variance - Actual cost < standard cost at actual volumes.
Variance cost in production is a measure that compares the cost that a company budgets to be able to produce a good vs the actual amount it takes to produce the said good. When the Budget is higher than the actual cost of production, it is said to be a FAVOURABLE balance because the budget was not exceeded.
c. Ideal standard - Theoretical standard.
This is the Standard that the company would like to be producing at to make a certain level of profit. It is usually different from the Normal Standard and the goal of most of not all companies is to work towards attaining their Ideal standard. They usually make Theoretical forecasts about their Ideal Standard.
d. Nonfinancial performance measure - An example is number of customer complaints.
There are many ways to measure performance but those ways are usually group into 2 categories being Financial and Non-financial measures of performance. The number of customer complaints that a business gets is a type of Non-financial Performance. As the intended market for a product, Customers are the most important appraisers of a Company's goods and services and if there are relatively low customer complaints, this shows that the company is performing well as they are able to please their customers.
e. Unfavorable cost variance - Actual cost > standard cost at actual volumes
As mentioned before, Variance helps determine the cost of production vs the budgeted cost of production. When a cost Variance is labeled as Unfavourable, it means that the Actual Cost exceeded the Budget of the production activity. This is unfavourable because it means that the business had to spend more than it thought it would on production thereby harming it's profit margins.
During January 2018, the first month of operations, a consulting firm had following transactions: Issued common stock to owners in exchange for $20,000 cash. Purchased $5,000 of equipment, paying $1,000 cash and signing a promissory note for $4,000. Received $9,000 in cash for consulting services performed in January. Purchased $1,500 of supplies on account; all of the supplies were used in January. Provided consulting services on account in the amount of $16,000. Paid $750 on account. Paid $3,000 to employees for work performed during January. Received a bill for utilities for January of $3,400; the bill remains unpaid. What is the amount of total revenue to be reported on the income statement for the month of January?
Answer:
The total or gross revenue for this company on the income statement would be the sum of:
$9,000 received in cash for consulting services performed in January$16,000 worth of consulting services that will be paid on account.So the total revenue will be $25,000.
This is because revenue is different from cash: as long as the sales are made, they are counted as revenue even if they are on account, and no cash payment has been made.

You have a portfolio that is invested 17 percent in Stock A, 38 percent in Stock B, and 45 percent in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .62, 1.17, and 1.46, respectively. What is the beta of the portfolio
Answer:
The portfolio beta is 1.207
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The weightage of each stock in the portfolio is calculated on the basis of investment in that stock as a proportion of total investment in the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated as follows,
Portfolio beta = Weight of Stock A * Beta of Stock A + Weight of Stock B * Beta of Stock B + ... + Weight of Stock N * Beta of Stock N
Portfolio beta = 0.17 * 0.62 + 0.38 * 1.17 + 0.45 * 1.46
Portfolio beta = 1.207

The W.C. Pruett Corp. has $200,000 of interest-bearing debt outstanding, and it pays an annual interest rate of 11%. In addition, it has $700,000 of common stock on its balance sheet. It finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. Its annual sales are $1 million, its average tax rate is 35%, and its profit margin is 8%. What are its TIE ratio and its return on invested capital (ROIC)? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
a. Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = 6.59 times
b. Return on invested capital (ROIC) = 10.48%
Explanation:
To estimate these, we have to first calculate the following:
Interest expenses = $200,000 * 11% = $22,000
Net income = Profit margin * Annual sales = 8% * $1,000,000 = $80,000
Income before tax = Net income / (1 - Average tax rate) = $80,000 / (1 - 35%) = 123,076.92
Tax = Income before tax * Tax rate = $123,076.92 * 35% = $43,076.92
Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) = Net income + Interest expenses + Tax = $80,000 + $22,000 + $43,076.92 = $145,076.92
Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) = EBIT * (1 - Average tax rate) = $145,076.92 * (1 - 35%) = $94,300
Invested capital = Common stock + Interest-bearing debt outstanding = $200,000 + $700,000 = $900,000
a. What are its TIE ratio?
Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses = $145,076.92 / $22,000 = 6.59 times
This indicates that the income of the W.C. Pruett Corp. is 6.59 times greater than its annual interest expense.
b. What are its return on invested capital (ROIC)?
ROIC = NOPAT / Invested capital = $94,300 / $900,000 = 0.1048, or 10.48%
Todd can afford to pay $375 per month for the next 7 years in order to purchase a new car. The interest rate is 6.5 percent compounded monthly. What is the most he can afford to pay for a new car today
Answer:
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Explanation:
The most he can afford to pay is the present value of the $375 per month discounted at the interest rate of return of 6.5% p.a
PV = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = ?, A- 375, r- 6.5/12= 0.541% n= 12×7 = 84
PV = 375× (1- (1.00541)^(-84) )/0.00541= 25260.071
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Note: the monthly interest rate needed to be computed by dividing 6.5% by 12 and the number of months in 7 years is 7 × 12 = 84
A company has a fiscal year-end of December 31:_______.
(1) on October 1, $18,000 was paid for a one-year fire insurance policy; (2) on June 30 the company advanced its chief financial officer $16,000; principal and interest at 6% on the note are due in one year; and (3) equipment costing $66,000 was purchased at the beginning of the year for cash. Depreciation on the equipment is $13,200 per year. If the adjusting entries were not recorded, would net income be higher or lower and by how much?
Answer:
Net income would be higher by $17,220 if the adjusting entries were left unrecorded
Explanation:
The adjusting entries for insurance prepaid would be to recognize three months of insurance cost as insurance expense i.e $18,000*3/12=$4,500
The adjusting entries for the advance of $16,000 is to recognize interest revenue for six months (from July to December) in the books i.e$16,000*6%*6/12=$480
The depreciation charge would increase expenses by $13,200
The impact of profit is shown below:
insurance expense ($4,500)
interest revenue $480
depreciation ( $13,200)
total impact (17220)
Johnson Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2013, net credit sales totaled $4,500,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.5%. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $42,000 at the beginning of 2013 and $40,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2013.
Required:
1. What is bad debt expense for 2013?
2. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2013.
3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2013?
Answer:
1. The Bad debt expense for 2013 is $67,500
2. The amount of accounts receivable written off during 2013 is $69,500
3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, the bad debt expense for 2013 would be $69,500
Explanation:
1. In order toCalculate the bad debt expense for 2013 we would have to make the following calculation:
Bad debt expense=1.5% of Net Credit Sales
=1.5%×$4,500,000
=$67,500
The Bad debt expense for 2013 is $67,500
2. In order to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2013 we would have to make the following calculation:
amount of accounts receivable written off=$42,000+$67,500-$40,000
amount of accounts receivable written off=$69,500
The amount of accounts receivable written off during 2013 is $69,500
3. Using direct write off method, the bad debt expense is recognized only when the actual bad debt is incurred. The actual bad expense would be the amount of accounts receivable written off during the year. Accounts receivable written off during the year would be same in both the methods.
Thus, the bad debt expense for the year 2013 would be $69,500.
Process Costing using First-in-First Out (FIFO) Crone Corporation uses the FIFO method in its processing costing system. The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of October.
Cost in beginning work in process inventory $1,920
Units started and completed this month 3,130
Materials Conversion:
Cost per equivalent unit $9.50 $20.40
Equivalent units required to complete the units in
beginning work in process inventory 360 140
Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory 330 264
Required:
a. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory
b. Determine the cost of units transferred out of the department during October.
Answer:
Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out=$99,863
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory
Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units
Cost of items of inventory = ($9.50×330) + ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out
The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.
The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.
The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:
Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360) + ($20.40×140)= 6276
Transferred of fully worked = $(9.50 +$20.40) × 3,130= 93,587
Total cost of units transferred out = (6276 +93587)= $99,863
Cash Payback Period, Net Present Value Method, and Analysis
Elite Apparel Inc. is considering two investment projects.
The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows:
Year Plant Expansion Retail Store Expansion
1 $450,000 $500,000
2 450,000 400,000
3 340,000 350,000
4 280,000 250,000
5 180,000 200,000
Total $1,700,000 $1,700,000
Each project requires an investment of $900,000.
A rate of 15% has been selected for the net present value analysis.
Required:
1. Compute the cash payback period for each project.
2. Compute the net present value for each project.
(Round to nearest dollar)
Answer:
Plant Expansion
Cash payback period = 2 years
NPV = $304,707.24
Retail Store Expansion
Cash payback period = 2 years
NPV = $309,744.42
Explanation:
Cash payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.
Cash payback for the Plant Expansion
Amount invested = $-900,000
Amount recovered in the first year = $-900,000 + $450,000 = $-450,000
Amount recovered in the second year = $-450,000 + $450,000 = 0
The amount invested in the project is recovered In the second year. So, the cash payback period is 2 years.
Cash payback for the Retail Store Expansion
Amount invested = $-900,000
Amount recovered in the first year = $-900,000 + $500,000 = $-400,000
Amount recovered in the second year = $-400,000 + $400,000 = 0
The amount invested in the project is recovered In the second year. So, the cash payback period is 2 years.
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Plant Expansion
Cash flow in year 0 = $-900,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $450,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $450,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $340,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $280,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $180,000
I = 15%
NPV = $304,707.24
Retail Store Expansion
Cash flow in year 0 = $-900,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $500,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $400,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $350,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $250,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $200,000
I = 15%
NPV = $309,744.42
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Metro Services, Inc. reported the following information for the year 2019. Based on the following information, calculate the rate of return on total assets for Metro Services, Inc. (Round the percentage to two decimal places.)Total Assets, December 31, 2019$599,000Total Assets, December 31, 2018$505,000For Year Ended December 31, 2019: Interest Expense$27,900 Net Income$67,100A. 7.78%B. 7.10%C. 11.20%D. 17.21%
Answer:
Option D,17.21% is correct
Explanation:
The total assets deployed in generating profit for the year is the average of the beginning assets of $599,000 and the closing assets of $505,000 which translated into $552,000 i.e ($599,000+$502,000)/2
The total return on assets is the profit before interest, hence the interest of $27,900 is added to net income of $67,100 to give total return on assets in dollar terms i.e $95,000($27,900+$67,100)
The return on total assets=total return/average assets=$95,000/$552,000=17.21%
