Answer:
The yield to maturity on the 2 year-zero coupon bond is 13.85% as computed in the explanation section below
Explanation:
The yield to maturity on the 2-year-zero coupon bond can be computed using the rate formula in excel as shown thus:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of annual coupon payments which is 2
pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is zero since it is a zero coupon bond
pv is the current price of the bond which is $77.15
fv is the face value of the bond which is $100
=rate(2,0,-77.15,100)=13.85%

Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $408.00. The company’s accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $268.00 as shown below:
Direct materials $147
Direct labor 85
Manufacturing overhead 36
Unit product cost $268
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 30 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $368.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $452 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $9. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed.
To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $15.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Required:
a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?
b Should the company accept the special order?
Answer:
2352, Yes
Explanation:
a) Incremental Cost = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Filgree + Manufacturing overhead cost
= 147 + 85 + 9 + 15 = 256
Total additional Cost = 256 x 21 = 5376
Incremental Revenue = 368
Total additional Revenue = 368 x 21 = 7728
Incremental net operating income = Total additional revenue - total additional cost
= 7728 - 5376 = 2352
b) As Incremental net operating income is positive, company is earning from the special order. Yes, it should accept it
The relevant costs for a decision to accept the special order are :
1. Incremental Revenue from the special order
2. incremental variable cost
3. The cost of the special tool
Unit variable cost = 147+ 85 + 9 + 15 = $256
The balance of manufacturing overhead would be incurred either way. Therefore, they are not relevant for the decision
Sales revenue from special order $
(21× $368) 7728
The Variable cost of special order $
(21× $256) (5376 )
Financial advantage 2358
The company should accept the special order, as it will increase its profit by $2352

Answer:
Preferred Stock Common Stock
(dividend per share) (dividend per share)
Year 1 $1.50 $0.75
Year 2 $0.60 $0.00
Year 3 $2.40 $1.05
Explanation:
For Year 1:
Total dividend distributed = $75,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 25,000 = $1.50
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Preferred shareholders' dividend = $75,000 - $37,500 = $37,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 50,000 = $0.75
For Year 2:
Total dividend distributed = $15,000
Dividend payable to preferred shareholders = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $15,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $15,000 / 25,000 = $0.60
Preferred shareholders' dividend carried forward = Dividend payable to preferred shareholders - Total dividend distributed = $37,500 - $15,000 = $22,500
Common stockholders' dividend = $0
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $0
For Year 3:
Total dividend distributed = $112,500
Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $37,500 + Preferred shareholders' dividend carried down from Year 2 = $37,500 + $22,500 = $60,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $60,000 / 25,000 = $2.40
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $112,500 - $60,000 = $52,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $52,500 / 50,000 = $1.05
You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you 2.3 million Czech koruna today in exchange for a year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for 2.8 million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are 25.49 koruna per dollar and 39.31 baht per dollar, what is the value of this deal?
Answer:
$19,002.77
Explanation:
The computation of the value of deal is shown below:
The value of the deal = Sales revenue - purchase cost
where,
Sales revenue is
= 2,300,000 ÷ 25.49 koruna per dollar
= $90,231.46
And, the purchase cost is
= 2,800,000 ÷ 39.31 baht per dollar
= $71,228.69
So, the value of the deal is
= $90,231.46 - $71,228.69
= $19,002.77
hence, the value of the deal is $19,002.77
The bond has a coupon rate of 6.83 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A clean price of $1,049 and the par value is $1,000. What is the invoice price
Answer:
The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38
Explanation:
Given the following:
PV= Par value = $1,000 ,
CV= Clean Price = $1,049
Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%
To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%
To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV
= 3.415% * $1,000 = $34.15
With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:
Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38
To calculate Invoice price:
Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest
Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38
Invoice Price = $1,060.38
Suppose you want to invest $10,000. You have two options: Option #1: Invest in municipal bonds with an expected return of 8.00%, or Option #2: Invest in the corporate bonds of Jefferson & Alexander Inc. which are offering an expected return of 10.00% Assume that your decision is based solely on your tax situation. If everything else is the same for both bonds, at what tax rate would you be indifferent between these two bond investments?
Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds are generally not taxed so if you invest in the Municipal bond, the tax rate does not affect you.
The tax rate therefore that will make you indifferent between the 2 options is the one that will take the Corporate bond returns of Jefferson to 8% so that both bonds may give you the same return after tax.
Assuming that tax rate is 'x' then,
8 = 10 (1 - x)
8 = 10 - 10x
10x = 10 - 8
10x = 2
x = 20%
At a tax rate of 20%, the Corporate bonds give an 8% return.
Phionia Phelps has developed a gourmet cat food. Not only is this food eagerly eaten by the most finicky felines, but it is specially formulated to prevent the many health problems of aging cats. Phionia has been making the food on her kitchen range and selling it at $250 per case only to close acquaintances who are also cat lovers. One of her wealthy acquaintances has now offered to invest in her business if Phionia will begin selling the product through her website. However, the investor wants Phionia to produce a budget for the first six months of operation. Based on her experience to date, Phionia predicts the following sales in cases:
Each case of Finicky Feline Gourmet Cat Dinner requires 5 pounds of prime lamb meat, 10 pounds of short grain Chinese rice, 2 pounds of wild caught Alaskan salmon, and 1 pound of secret vitamins and supplements. Phionia plans to maintain end-of-month inventories equal to 10 percent of the next month's projected sales, to meet expected sales growth. All the ingredients inventories are to be maintained at 5 percent of the production needs for the next month, but not to exceed 1,000 pounds of any one ingredient. January will begin with all inventories at the projected levels. Phionia has the following price quotes good for the following year:
The production process requires direct labor at two skill levels: (1) ingredient preparation, $18 per hour, and (2) cooking and canning, $24 per hour. Two workers are willing to work part days if there is not enough demand for them to work full time. lt takes one hour to process one batch. Because of preparation and cleanup time, only six batches can be produced per day. Each batch produces enough food to fill 100 cases. Manufacturing overhead is $6,000 fixed per month plus $15 per case.
Item $ per pound

1. Prepare the following budgets for the period. January through June:________.
a. Sales budget in dollars.
b. Production budget in units.
c. Direct materials purchases budget in pounds.
d. Direct materials purchases budget in dollars.
e. Direct manufacturing labor budget in dollars.
2. Comment on the viability of this business and the advisability of the investor making a $50,000 investment to get it started.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
Sales budget = $ 250 per case * 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months
= $ 18,000,000
b. Production budget in units = 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months
= 72,000 cases
Production budget including 10 percent inventories
= 72000 + 100*6*20*10%
= 73200 cases
c. Direct materials purchases budget in pounds including 5% inventories
Lamb = 5 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )
= 369,000 pounds
Rice Lamb = 10 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )
= 738,000 pounds
Salmon = 2 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )
= 147,600 pounds
Vitamins = 1 pound per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )
= 73,800 pounds
d. Direct materials purchases budget in dollars = 369000*15 + 738000*1.2 + 147600*24 + 73800*45
= $ 1,328,400
e. Manufacturing labor budget in dollars = 1 hours per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days per month * 6 months * ($ 18 per hour for ingredient preparation + $ 24 per hour for cooking and canning ) * 2 workers
= $ 60,480
2. The business requires an investment of $ 1,328,400 + 60,480
= $ 1,388,880 over six months.
This translates to monthly investment of $ 231,480
Therefore $ 50,000 investment is too small to begin with.
Which of the following is NOT a pitfall an organization should avoid in strategic planning? Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" Failing to communicate the plan to employees Failing to create a collaborative climate supportive of change Top managers not actively supporting the strategic-planning process Doing strategic planning only to satisfy accreditation or regulatory requirements
Answer:
Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner"
Explanation:
Strategic planning is a process of establishing the direction of a business. It assesses where the business is and where it is going. And the action plan needed to get to it's goal.
Delegating planning to a planner rather than involving all managers is an identified pitfall in strategic planning.
This is why Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" is the correct answer since we are required to identify a non pitfall by the question.
General Discussion Questions What should business leaders take away from this scandal? What could Wells Fargo have done differently to avert this cultural meltdown? Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions Modeling Character and Values: What values did Stumpf model to Wells Fargo employees? What impact might that have on the culture of Wells Fargo? Encouraging Ethical Conduct: What behaviors can leaders model in order to encourage ethical behavior in their organization? Designing Ethical Systems: Wells Fargo did have some systems in place, like the ethics hotline, to report unethical behavior, but it didn’t work. Why do you think that is? What steps can leaders take to design systems that encourage ethical behavior rather than unethical behavior?
Answer:
From this scandal, business leaders should learn to:
(a) not encourage unethical practices directly or indirectly among employees.
(b) not set unrealistic targets for employees to achieve within an unrealistic time-frame.
(c) Institute measures to prevent unethical practices.
(d) Encourage honest employees to grow in the company.
(e) Honor adherence to regulatory framework as applicable to the company.
Wells Fargo could have done differently in these manner:
(a) When the first incident of aggressive sales practice was reported in year 2004 with identified incidents from year 2002, they could have instituted measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents. Some of the practical and workable measures are enumerated in succeeding paragraphs.
(b) Convene a meeting of senior managers to provide them with appropriate guidelines so as not to repeat such incidents.
(c) Instruct senior managers to advise their juniors to refrain from any such aggressive sales practices.
(d) Investigate to determine the extent of impact of aggressive sales practices as on 2004 and take remedial actions against those who are engaged in such activities.
(e) Promote the whistle-blower method of instantaneous reporting of an incident by anyone who has witnessed such an incident.
(f) Reward employees having honesty, integrity and moral values.
Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions
CEO John Stumpf’s model was to aggressively cross-sell products by any means. While leading the bank in doing so, he had compromised on the minimum value system that any financial institution or any company must adhere to. The cultural impact that had on Wells Fargo is listed below:
(a) Employees were pressurized for resorting to unethical practices.
(b) Employees reporting matters on unethical practices were punished.
(c) The performance management/ measurement system, in effect, encouraged dishonesty in employees.
(d) The compensation system was skewed in favor of bonus.
(e) Since, the supervisors pressurized employees, the structural dishonesty within the organization was evident.
Leaders can encourage ethical behavior in their organization in the following manner:
(a) Demonstrate personal ethics in their words and actions.
(b) Instruct senior managers to strictly adhere to the ethical norms to be followed.
(c) Instruct senior managers to communicate company’s ethical agenda to the supervisors/ other junior employees within their departments/ sections.(d) Monitor adherence to / violation of ethical practices on a regular basis.(e) Institute immediate remedial measures to prevent recurrence of any unethical practice.
(f) Encourage employees to report incidents of unethical practices.
(g) Reward honest and hardworking employees.
Well Fargo’s system of ensuring Ethical System within the bank, such as ethics hotline to report unethical behavior did not work because, the top management, led by the CEO did not pay any importance to prevention of unethical practices. Rather, they steered in an organized and structured manner to promote unethical practices.
Leaders can take the following steps to design systems that encourage ethical behavior:
(a) The top leaders must “think ethics”, “speak ethics” and “act ethics”. This is the top most fundamental step in the direction of designing systems to encourage ethical behavior.
(b) Matters on “what is ethical and what is not ethical” must be circulated across the organization.
(c) Periodic briefing must take place from the top management to the junior most employees in a structured and organized manner.
(d) Encouragement on reporting (whistle-blowing) incidents of unethical practices must be given.
(e) System of rewarding honest and hardworking employees must be put in place.

Answer:

Explanation:
(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of
Answer:
a) 120 skiers per day
b) 6.25% increase in revenue
Explanation:
a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.
__
b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average spending per day is ...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...
20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day
And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...
20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day
The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.
The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.
g The sticky-wage theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that when the price level rises more than expected, a. production is more profitable and employment rises. b. production is more profitable and employment falls. c. production is less profitable and employment rises. d. production is less profitable and employment falls.
Answer:
A. Production is more profitable and employment rises
Explanation:
Wages are sticky if market prices or wages don’t adjust quickly to changes in the economy. When prices are sticky, the Short Run Aggregate Supply curve slopes upward. It slopes upward because at least one price is fixed. The curve shows that a higher price level leads to more output
Therefore when the price level rises more than expected, production is more profitable and employment rises.
Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1, 2015, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years, but in December 2015 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years. The firm's accountants plan to report the 2015 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: d. The firm's cash position in 2015 and 2016 would increase.
Explanation:
The financila statements had been calculated with the view that fixed assets would be depreciated over a 20 year period. However, it was discovered that the assest should be depreciated over 15 years instead. This reduction in the period would have the effect for increasing the depreciation payment.
For example, say the asset cost $20,000 and was originally to be depreciated over 20 years using Straight Line Depreciation. This means that the depreciation per year would be,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{20}[/tex]
= $1,000 a year.
If it was however discovered that it was supposed to be 15 years that figure would go to,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{15}[/tex]
= $1,333.33 a year
Notice how depreciation increased. Lucy's Music emporium will therefore see their depreciation cost rise. Depreciation is subtracted from revenue as it is tax deductible. When Lucy's Emporium deduct this new depreciation, they will have less profit. They will be taxed on this less profit and so pay a lower tax. This will thus increase their cash holdings because Depreciation is a non cash expense and does not actually require a cash payment.

Heidee Corp. and Leaudy Corp. have identical assets, sales, interest rates paid on their debt, tax rates, and EBIT. However, Heidee uses more debt than Leaudy. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A) Heidee would have the higher net income as shown on the income statement.
B) Without more information, we cannot tell if Heidee or Leaudy would have a higher or lower net income.
C) Heidee would have the lower equity multiplier for use in the Du Pont equation.
D) Heidee would have to pay more in income taxes.
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Answer:
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Explanation:
Heidee and Leaudy have the same Earning Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT).
They both also have the same interest rate paid on debt.
So if Heidee uses more of their debt than Leaudy it means they will incur more interest payment on debt.
This will result in less income for the company.
On the other hand Leaudy uses less debt so their interest expense is low and income is higher.
Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Henrie’s Drapery Service is investigating the purchase of a new machine for cleaning and blocking drapes. The machine would cost $102,990, including freight and installation. Henrie’s estimated the new machine would increase the company’s cash inflows, net of expenses, by $30,000 per year. The machine would have a five-year useful life and no salvage value.
Required:
a. Compute the machine's internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
b. Compute the machine's net present value. Use a discount rate of 16%. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
c. Suppose that the new machine would increase the company's annual cash inflows, net of expenses, by only $41,000 per year. Under these conditions, compute the internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
Answer:
A. 14%
B. NPV = $-4,761.19
C. 28%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
IRR = 14%
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:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
I = 16%
NPV = $-4,761.19
IRR if cash flow is $41,000
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $41,000
IRR = 28%
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.

Precious Metal Mining has $17 million in sales, its ROE is 13%, and its total assets turnover is 4x. Common equity on the firm’s balance sheet is 55% of its total assets. What is its net income? Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate steps.
Answer:
net income = $303,875
Explanation:
total sales $17 million
return on equity (ROE) = 13% = net income / stockholders' equity
asset turnover = 4 = total sales / average total assets
common equity = 55% of assets
first we must determine average total assets:
average total assets = total sales / 4 = $17 million / 4 = $4.25 million
common equity = 55% x total assets = 55% x $4.25 million = $2,337,500
ROE = 13% = net income / $2,337,500
net income = 13% x $2,337,500 = $303,875
The following account balances are taken from the December 31, 2018, financial statements of ABZ Advertising Company. The company uses accrual basis accounting. Advertising Revenue $ 46,482 Cash 41,516 Accounts Receivable 7,296 Interest Expense 2,299 Accounts Payable 5,000 Operating Expenses 37,460 Deferred Revenue 1,178 Equipment 18,048 Income Tax Expense 2,326 The following activities occurred in 2019: Performed advertising services on account, $55,000. Received cash payments on account, $10,400. Received deposits from customers for advertising services to be performed in 2020, $2,500. Made payments to suppliers on account, $5,000. Incurred $45,000 of operating expenses; $39,000 was paid in cash and $6,000 was on account and unpaid as of the end of the year. Which of the following is the journal entry that will be used to record activity #3? Multiple Choice Debit Cash and credit Accounts Receivable for $2,500. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Advertising Revenue for $2,500. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Receivable for $2,500. Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
Answer:
Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
Explanation:
Deferred revenue can be described as an advance payment thta is received a business for services to be performed or goods to be delivered in the future.
This type of revenue will not be reported in the income statement but it will be reported as a liability under the current liabilities in the balance sheet, after debiting the cash account, until when the services are performed or goods are delivered.
For this question, $2,500 deposits received in 2018 from customers for advertising services to be performed in 2020 will not be reported in the 2018 income statement but it will continue to be reported as a liability under the current liabilities in the balance sheet till 2020 when the services are performed.
Thereofe, the correct journal entry that will be used to record activity #3 is Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
