On July 1, 2015, Pryce Co. issued 1,000 of its 10%, $1,000 bonds at 99 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated April 1, 2015 and mature on April 1, 2025. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1. What amount did Pryce receive from the bond issuance

Answers

Answer:

$1,015,000

Explanation:

the issuer will receive = $1,000 x 99% = $990 for each bond

$990 x 1,000 bonds = $990,000

the issuer will also receive accrued interests = $1,000 x 10% x 3/12 months = $25 per bond

$25 x 1,000 bonds = $25,000

in total, the issuer will receive $990,000 + $25,000 = $1,015,000

The claim is that the proportion of peas with yellow pods is equal to 0.25 (or 25%). The sample statistics from one experiment include 540 peas with 159 of them having
yellow pods. Find the value of the test statistic.
The value of the test statistic is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

2.361

Explanation:

Calculation to Find the value of the test statistic

Based on the given information let our:

p=0.25

x = 159

n = 540

Since our p is 0.25 the first step is to find q using this formula

q = 1 - p

Let plug in the formula

q = 1-0.25

q= 0.75

Second step is to find the psample using this formula

psample= x/n

Let plug in the formula

psample= 159/540

psample = 0.294

Last step is to find the value of the test statistic

Using this formula

z= (psample - p) / √(pq/n)

Let plug in the formula

z = (0.294 - 0.25) / √(0.25×0.75/540)

z=0.044/√(0.1875/540)

z=0.044/√(0.000347222222)

z=0.044/0.01863389

z=2.361

Therefore the value of the test statistic will be 2.361

Today (year 0), a new 7-megawatt (MW) solar panel farm is constructed at a direct cost of $10 million. The indirect cost of 10% of the direct cost was spent. Four years from today, a smaller 6-MW solar farm will be added to the existing farm. The cost indices of today and after 4 years are 400 and 600 respectively. If the cost-capacity factor is 0.75 for solar panel construction, what is the estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm

Answers

Answer:

14.70 m

Explanation:

The computation of estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm is shown below:-

Cost of 6MW plant = Cost of 7MW today × (Index today ÷ Index in past) × (Capacity of 6MW plant ÷ Capacity of 7MW plant )^Cost capacity factor

= = 1.1 × 10m × (600 ÷ 400) × (6 ÷ 7)^0.75

= 14.6985

or

= 14.70 m

So, for computing the cost of 6MW plant we simply applied the above formula.

WACC and Cost of Common Equity
Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 45% common equity and 55% debt to fund its $10 billion in operating assets. Furthermore, Kahn Inc. has a WACC of 12%, a before-tax cost of debt of 10%, and a tax rate of 25%. The company's retained earnings are adequate to provide the common equity portion of its capital budget. Its expected dividend next year (D1) is $3, and the current stock price is $34.
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the company's expected growth rate?

current stock price = expected dividend / (required rate of return - growth rate)

$34 = $3 / (12% - g)

12% - g = $3 / $34 = 8.82%

growth rate = 12% - 8.82% = 3.18%

B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?

WACC = (equity x Re) + [debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)]

12% = (45% x Re) + (55% x 10% x 0.75) = 0.45Re + 4.125%

0.45Re = 12% - 4.125% = 7.875%

Re = 7.875% / .45 = 17.5%

growth rate = (net income / equity) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)

3.18% = ($1.6 billion / $4.5 billion) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)

3.18% = 0.3556 x (1 - dividend payout ratio)

1 - dividend payout ratio = 3.18 / 0.3556 = 0.089

dividend payout ratio = 1 - 0.089 = 0.911

this means that the company distribute 91.1% of its net income to its stockholders

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 1/4. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense.
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 1/4, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?

Answers

Answer:

A.$269,675

B.$305,325

C.$10,787

Explanation:

Requirement A Cash proceeds

Cash proceeds can find out by multiplying par value with the selling price

Cash proceeds = Par Value x Selling price

Cash proceeds = $230,000 x 117.25%

Cash proceeds = $269,675

Requirement B Interest Expense

Bond interest expense =Total repayment -Amount borrowed(REQ.A)

Bond interest expense = $575,000(w) - $269,675

Bond interest expense = $305,325

Workings

Semi-annual interest expense =  $230,000 x 10% x 6/12

Semi-annual interest expense = $11,500

Total payment would be 30 for 15 years

Total payment = $11,500 x 30

Total payment = $345,000

Total repayment = Par value + $345,000

Total repayment = $230,000 + $345,000

Total repayment = $575,000

Requirement C Bond interest expense on the first interest payment date

Bond interest Expense = $269,675(REQ.A) x 8% x 6/12

Bond interest Expense = $10,787

How much total value have you gained?

Answers

Answer:

$285

Explanation:

the total value is the total surplus i gained from this transaction

total surplus is the sum of producer and consumer surplus.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

$500 - $250 = $250

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

(0.5 x $250) - $90 = $35

total surplus = $250 + $35 = $285

What is the difference in the present worth between an investment of $10,000 per year for 50 years and an investment of $10,000 per year forever at an interest rate of 10% per year

Answers

Answer:

Difference in Present Value = $ 851.86

Explanation:

The fist scheme is an annuity. A series of fixed cash flow occurring annually for certain period of time. We can determine the present value of the annuity using the formula below:

PV = A × (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

10,000 × (1- 1.10^(-50))/0.1  =99,148.14

The second scheme is a perpetuity . A series of fixed cash inflow occurring  for the unforeseeable future

PV = A × 1/r

PV = 10,000×   1/0.1= 100,000

Difference in PV = 100,000  - 99,148.14= 851.855

Difference in Present Value = $ 851.86

Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Fixed Factory Overhead per unit $7.50
How much would Park Avenue Corporation save by having the vendor make the part, instead of making it themselves?

Answers

Answer:

If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $13.04

The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually.

Production:

Direct Materials per unit $6.34

Direct Labor per unit $7.30

Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50

We weren't provided with information regarding the fixed costs. I will assume that non of the fixed overhead costs are avoidable, therefore, they are irrelevant to the decision making process.

Buy:

Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64

Production:

Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24

If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6

In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

Calculation of the value of part:

Since

Purchase price= $13.04

Direct Materials per unit $6.34

Direct Labor per unit $7.30

Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50

Now

For Buy:

Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64

For Production:

Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24

So, we can say that In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

Answers

Answer:

Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520

Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200

Explanation:

To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;

Revenue    $65,550

Expenses   $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)

Net Income $26,300

Noncontrolling percentage = 40%

NonControlling Income = $10,520

Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]

Management expects December’s results to be repeated in January, February, and March of 2018 without any changes in strategy. Management, however, has an alternative plan. It believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month for the next three months (beginning with January) if the item's selling price is reduced to $127 per unit and advertising expenses are increased by 15% and remain at that level for all three months. The cost of its product will remain at $60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same.

Required:
Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of January, February, and March that show the expected results from implementing the proposed changes. (Enter your final answers in whole dollars.)

If the expected sales volume for the current period is 7,000 units, the desired ending inventory is 400 units, and the beginning inventory is 400 units, the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period, is

Answers

Answer:

7,000 units

Explanation:

Calculation for the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period

Number of units=7,000 units +400 units-400 units

Number of units=7,000 units

Therefore the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period is 7,000 units
