Bob is evaluating a bond issue to determine the right price for the bond. In his evaluation, he gathers the following information:
N = 8 years INT = .025 or 2.5% PMT = $25 FV = $1,000 (par value)
What is the above bond issue worth in today's dollars?
a. $1,000
b. $1,181.63
c. $1,200.50
d. None of the above
Answers
Answer:
The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.
The formula for the price of the bond is attached.
Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025] + 1000 / (1+0.025)^8
Bond Price = $1000

What is the stock price per share for a stock that has a required return of 16%, an expected dividend $2.7 per share, and a constant growth rate of 10%
Answers
Answer:
Price of stock = $49.5
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price of stock=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
DATA:
D0- 2.7
g- 10%
K- 16%
Price of stock = ( 2.7×1.1)/(0.16-0.1) = 49.5
Price of stock = $49.5
Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of the direct materials uses in production (not on the basis of raw materials). Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $126,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of $90,000 direct material dollars to be used in production. The Company has provided the following data for the just completed year:
Purchase of raw materials $138,000
Direct Labor Cost $86,000
Manufacturing Overhead Costs:
Indirect Labor $122,600
Property Taxes $8,900
depreciation of equipment $15,000
Maintenance $15,000
Insurance $10,000
Rent, building $35,000
Beginning Ending
Raw Materials $25,000 $15,000
Work in Process $49,000 $39,000
Finished Goods $74,000 $59,000
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
b. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.
c. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year. Assume all raw materials are used in production as direct materials.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below;
Predetermined Overhead Rate is
= Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Allocation Base × 100
= $126,000 ÷ $90,000
= 140%
2. Now the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead is
But before that we need to find out the overhead applied and overhead incurred which is
= (Opening Value of Direct Material + Purchase of Direct Material - Closing Value of Direct Material) × Predetermined Overhead Rate
= ($25,000 + 138,000 - $15,000) × 140%
= $207,200
Now the Overhead Incurred is
Indirect Labor $122,600
Property Taxes $8,900
depreciation of equipment $15,000
Maintenance $15,000
Insurance $10,000
Rent, building $35,000
Total $206,500
So, the overhead over applied is
= $207,200 - $206,500
= $700
c. Now the schedule of cost of goods manufactured is presented below:
Opening Raw Material $25,000
Add Purchases of Raw Material $138,000
Less Closing Stock of Raw Material -$15,000
Direct Material Used $148,000
Add:
Direct Labor $86,000
Manufacturing Overhead Applied $207,200
Total Manufacturing Costs $441,200
Add Opening WIP $49,000
Less Closing WIP -$39,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured $451,200
Determine the incremental rate of return (ROR) value of the two alternatives below. Hint: Convert RoR value to a percentage. If the answer is 10%, enter 10. Do not enter 0.01.

Answers
Answer:m Incremental rate of return (ROR) = 0.076 ≈7.6%
Explanation:
Given that;
A B
First Cost $ 135,000 185,000
Operating Cost $/year 9,000 5,200
Salvage value $ 9,000 10,000
Life, n [infinity ∞] [infinity ∞]
As alternatives have infinite life, salvage value will have no effect on calculations
Therefore;
Incremental initial cost (B-A) = 185000 - 135000 = 50000
Incremental annual cost (B-A) = 5200 - 9000 = -3800 (Annual savings)
Present worth of infinite annuity = A / i
Incremental rate of return ROR = 3800 / 50000 = 0.076 ≈7.6%

Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eight years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $948. At this price, the bonds yield 5.1 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answers
Answer:
Coupon rate = 0.04292 or 4.292%
Explanation:
To calculate the coupon rate of the bond, we will, use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n)= 8
r or YTM = 0.051 or 5.1%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
948 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.051)^-8) / 0.051] + 1000 / (1+0.051)^8
948 = x * 6.437166243 + 671.7045216
948 - 671.7045216 = x * 6.437166243
276.2954784 / 6.437166243 = x
x = $42.92191128 rounded off to $42.92
Thus, the coupon payment on bond is $42.92
As the coupon payment is calculated by multiplying the coupon rate with the face value of the bond, then the coupon rate will be:
Coupon payment = face value * coupon rate
42.92 = 1000 * Coupon rate
Coupon rate = 42.92 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.04292 or 4.292%

Answers
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used in production:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 22,000 + 99,000 - 25,000
Direct material used= $96,000
Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 34,000 + 96,000 + 124,000 + 99,000 - 44,000
cost of goods manufactured= $309,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 74,000 + 309,000 - 54,000
COGS= $329,000

Answers
Answer:
Sales revenue= $2,418,937.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company expects to sell 3,500 units, give or take 5 percent.
The sales price is estimated at $750 per unit, plus or minus 3 percent.
The sales revenue worst-case scenario is the one with the lowest units sold and the lowest selling price per unit.
Units sold= 3,500*0.95= 3,325
Selling price= 750*0.97= $727.5
Sales revenue= 3,325*727.5= $2,418,937.5

Will give us 6%
Second step is to calculate the estimated warranty liability that should be reported
Sales Total of $400,000×6%
=$24,000
Hence,
Estimated warranty liability =$24,000 -Total of actual warranty expenditures of $9,750
Estimated warranty liability=$14,250
Therefore the amount that Gum should report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet will be $14,250
Jobs in which employees must frequently display emotions that oppose their genuine emotion require more emotional labor.
a) true
b) false
Answers
Answer:
a) true.
Explanation:
This statement is true, because emotions are feelings inherent to the human being, and therefore they also directly influence work, even though there is a posture geared more to the execution of reason due to professional posture than to emotions.
The ideal is therefore that there is a management aimed at creating an organizational culture aimed at the development of positive emotions, such as ethics, mutual respect, adequate communication, preservation of individual values, etc.
Emotions are capable of directly influencing the actions of employees, when they are positive they motivate and encourage the performance of productive work, when they are negative it can generate conflicts, demotivation, employee turnover, etc.

Answers
Answer:
The best recommendation that Maria can make to Bobby is that Bobby should invest in Federal Government Bonds and Treasury Bills.
However, it all depends on what his investments priorities and approach are. For a relatively high level of safety and principal protection, Federal Government Bonds and Treasury Bills are the best bet.
Any other investment that will offer some income will be too risky for safety.
Explanation:
Risk appetite determines a person's investment profile. However, it must be clear that higher returns on investment go with higher risks. Every high return investment compensates for the high risks. It is even the riskiest not to invest. Risk should be studied and accepted when it cannot be avoided. We usually say, "you cannot eat your cake and have it."
Which of the following is approximately the Value at Risk at 5 percent of a portfolio of $10 million of asset A, whose expected return is 10 percent and volatility is 20 percent, and $10 million of asset B, whose expected return is 16 percent and volatility is 25 percent, where the correlation between the two assets is 0.1.

Explanation:
Value at risk is the minimum value of portfolio that is considered to lose in case of certain event or volatility. There are two assets in the given scenario and both of them have worth of $10 million. The correlation between them is 0.1 which means there is low strength relationship between the two assets. The value at risk can be found by:
($10 * 5% * 20%) + ($10 * 16% * 25%) * log 1.65
= 5.6 million

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.01 to $2.57 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.4% rate, and its share price was $50.07. With the planned expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 4.7% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton's risk.) Is the expansion a good investment?
Answers
Answer:
$34.35
The price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.
Explanation:
Computation for the share price to expect after the announcement
Using this formula
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g
Where,
D1 =$4.01
P0 = $50.07
g =3.4%
Let plug in the formula
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g
Ke= [ $4.01 / $50.07] + 0.034
Ke= 0.0800+ 0.034
Ke= 0.1140
Second step is to find the Price after Expansion using this formula
P0 = D1 / [ Ke - g ]
Where,
D1=$2.57
Ke=0.1140
g=4.7%
Let plug in the formula
P0= $ 2.57 / [ 0.1140 - 0.047 ]
P0=$2.57/0.067
