Answer:
d. 2.83
Explanation:
Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.
The explanation to the answer is now as follows:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.
The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)
From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:
Total current assets = $1,700,000
Total current liabilities = $600,000
Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83
Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is 2.83. That is, the correct option is option d. 2.83.
This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
What term does Heckscher-Ohlin use to refer to the extent to which a country is enriched with resources such as land, labor, and capital
Answer:
Factor endowments
Explanation:
According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, factor endowments refer to the factors of production (land, labor, capital) that are abundant in a country and allow its citizens to have a comparative advantage over other countries regarding the production of goods and services, and trade.
Different countries have different factor endowments, e.g. Japan has abundant capital and labor, but few land, therefore, it produces and trades manufactured goods. Brazil has abundant land and labor, therefore, it produces and trade agricultural products.
Stock in Daenerys Industries has a beta of 1.05. The market risk premium is 7 percent, and T-bills are currently yielding 3.4 percent. The company’s most recent dividend was $2.35 per share, and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 4.1 percent indefinitely. If the stock sells for $43 per share, what is your best estimate of the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The best estimate of Cost of equity is 10.27%
Explanation:
Cost of equity as per CAPM= Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
Cost of equity as per CAPM = (3.4%+ (1.05*7%)
Cost of equity as per CAPM = 0.034 + 1.05*0.07
Cost of equity as per CAPM = 0.034 + 0.0735
Cost of equity as per CAPM = 0.1075
Cost of equity as per CAPM =10.75%
Note: CAPM is capital asset pricing model
Cost of equity as per growth model = (Recent Dividend (D1) / Current price) + Growth rate
= (2.35 * 1 + 4.1%) / 43 + 41%
= (2.35 * 1.041) / 43 + 0.041
= 2.4464 / 43 + 0.041
= 0.05689 + 0.041
= 0.09789
= 9.7891%
Best estimate of Cost of equity = Average of Cost of equity as per CAPM and Cost of equity as per growth model
= (10.75+9.789186) / 2
= 20.5391 / 2
= 10.2695
= 10.27%
Hence, the best estimate of Cost of equity is 10.27%
The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1987. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2016. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31).
A. What was the YTM on January 1, 1987?
B. What was the price of the bonds on January 1, 1992, 5 years later, assuming that interest rates had fallen to 10%?
C. Find the current yield, capital gains yield, and total return on January 1, 1992, given the price as determined in part b.
D. On July 1, 2010, 6 1/2 years before maturity, Pennington's bonds sold for $916.42. What were the YTM, the current yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return at that time?
E. Now assume that you plan to purchase an outstanding Pennington bond on March 1, 2010, when the going rate of interest given its risk was 15.5%. How large a check must you write to complete the transaction?
Answer:
A. What was the YTM on January 1, 1987?
since the bonds were sold at par, the YTM = coupon rate = 12%
B. What was the price of the bonds on January 1, 1992, 5 years later, assuming that interest rates had fallen to 10%?
0.5 = {60 + [(1,000 - m)/50]} / [(1,000 + m)/2]
25 + 0.025m = 60 + 20 - 0.02m
0.045m = 55
m = 55/0.045 = $1,222.22
C. Find the current yield, capital gains yield, and total return on January 1, 1992, given the price as determined in part b.
current yield = coupon / market price = $120 / $1,222.22 = 9.82%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀)/P₀ = ($1,222.22 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 22.22%
total return = [(P₁ - P₀) + D]/P₀ = [($1,222.22 - $1,000) + $600] /$1,000 = 82.22%
D. On July 1, 2010, 6 1/2 years before maturity, Pennington's bonds sold for $916.42. What were the YTM, the current yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return at that time?
YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 916.42)/13]} / [(1,000 + 916.42)/2] = 66.965 / 958.21 = 6.98856 x 2 (annual yield) = 13.98%
current yield = coupon / market price = $120 / $916.42 = 13.09%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀)/P₀ = ($916.42 - $1,000)/$1,000 = -8.36%
total return = [(P₁ - P₀) + D]/P₀ = [($916.42 - $1,000) + $2,820] /$1,000 = 273.64%
E. Now assume that you plan to purchase an outstanding Pennington bond on March 1, 2010, when the going rate of interest given its risk was 15.5%. How large a check must you write to complete the transaction?
accrued interest = $60 x 2/6 = $20
0.075 = {60 + [(1,000 - m)/13]} / [(1,000 + m)/2]
0.03875(1,000 + m) = 136.92 - 0.07692m
38.75 + 0.03875m = 136.92 - 0.07692m
0.11567m = 98.17
m = 98.17 / 0.11567 = 848.71 + 20 (accrued interest) = $868.71

Land of Many Lakes (LML) sells butter to a broker in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Because the market for butter is generally considered to be competitive, LML does not a. have any fixed costs of production. b. choose the quantity of butter to produce. c. set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost to maximize profit. d. choose the price at which it sells its butter.
Answer: d. choose the price at which it sells its butter.
Explanation:
In a competitive market, the individual sellers do not choose a price to sell at but rather the market does. This is due to the high number of sellers in the market so individual sellers do not have bargaining power.
The price will therefore equal the firm's marginal revenue as well as Average revenue.

Alpha can produce either 18 oranges or 9 apples an hour, while Beta can produce either 16 oranges or 4 apples an hour. If the terms of trade are established as 1 apple for 4 oranges, then: Group of answer choices
Answer:
But if they both work together in a way that Alpha produces only apples Beta produces only oranges then they would benefit from trade.
Explanation:
Then alpha should produce only 9 apples an hour, while Beta can produce either 16 oranges or 4 apples an hour.
If Alpha produces oranges there will be a loss because he produces less oranges. But Beta 's choice will not affect the trade.
There are no incentives for Beta to specialize and trade with Alpha.
But if they both work together in a way that Alpha produces only apples Beta produces only oranges then they would benefit from trade.
The value of a listed call option on a stock is lower when: I. The exercise price is higher. II. The contract approaches maturity. III. The stock decreases in value. IV. A stock split occurs.
Answer: a. I, II, and III only
Explanation:
The exercise price refers to the amount that the person who buys the call option will get to buy the underlying stock at. If this price is high, the profit from buying the stock at maturity will be less so the value of the listed call option reduces.
As the contract approaches maturity, the value will decrease because it will be less volatile as it approaches maturity.
The purpose of buying a call option is so that a profit can be made if the underlying stock increases in value. If the stock decreases in value, the allure of the call option decreases so therefore will the value.
A call bond option is termed as the option that implies the bondholder the right to purchase the bonds at the prevailing price in the market. A buyer of a bond call option in the secondary market forecasts a drop in investment substantial rise in bond prices.
The correct option is a. I, II, and III only
Option a. I, II, and III only is correct because The contract value will decline as it reaches maturation because it will become less unpredictable.
The goal of purchasing a call option is to benefit if the price of the underlying stock rises. The attractiveness of the callable bond falls as the price of bitcoin declines, and the worth of the call option reduces as well.
The exercise price is the price where the individual who acquires a call option will be able to acquire the underlying shares. If this price is too high, the benefit from buying the stock at maturity will be too little, diminishing the value of the specified call option.

Consider the following $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00 % B 2 7.00 % C 3 7.99 % D 4 9.41 % E 5 10.70 % The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now should be _________.
Answer:
16.01%
Explanation:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now is determined using the below formula:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+YTM5)^5/(1+YTM4)^4-1
YTM5 is the yield to maturity in year 5 i.e 10.70%
YTM4 is the yield to maturity in year 4 i.e 9.41%
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+10.70%)^5/(1+9.41%)^4-1
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=16.01%

Exercise 16-18 Indigo Inc. presented the following data. Net income$2,410,000 Preferred stock: 52,000 shares outstanding, $100 par, 8% cumulative, not convertible5,200,000 Common stock: Shares outstanding 1/1729,600 Issued for cash, 5/1296,400 Acquired treasury stock for cash, 8/1152,400 2-for-1 stock split, 10/1 Compute earnings per share.
Answer:
EPS = $11.74 per share
Explanation:
earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average shares outstanding
net income = $2,410,000
preferred dividends = 52,000 x $100 x 8% = $416,000
weighted average shares outstanding:
beginning common stocks (29,600 x 257/274) x 2 = 55,527 + (55,527 x 91/365) = 69,370.72new stocks issued (96,400 x 142/274) x 2 = 99,918.25 + (99,918.25 x 91/365) = 124,819.38treasury stocks (-52,400 x 51/274) x 2 = -19,506.57 + (-19,506.57 x 91/365) = -24,369.85total = 169,820.25 ≈ 169,820 weighted stocksEPS = ($2,410,000 - $416,000) / 169,820 stocks = $11.74
Since the dates are a little confusing, I assumed 1/17 for beginning common stocks, 5/12 for issuance of new stocks, 8/11 for acquiring treasury stocks, and 10/1 for stock split. From January 1 to October 1, there are 274 days on a regular 365 day calendar year.

(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.

A pharmaceutical research firm prohibits the employees who leave the firm from soliciting business from former customers or clients for a period of two years. This best exemplifies the _____ clause.
Answer:
Non-piracy.
Explanation:
If a pharmaceutical research firm prohibits the employees who leave the firm from soliciting business from former customers or clients for a period of two years. This best exemplifies the non-piracy clause.
A non-piracy clause is a legal framework which provides protection for companies from an ex employee who has left. This clause states that ex employees are prohibited from soliciting business from former customers or clients either directly or indirectly for a period of two years.

1. A small-scale businessman deposits money at the beginning of each year into his savings account, depending on the level of the business’ returns. He deposits $1000 in the first year, $3000 in the second year, $5000 in the third and $7000 in the fourth year and annual interest rate of 7%. What is the value of the investment at the time of his first deposit?
Answer:
The value of the investment at the time of his first deposit is $1,000.
At the end of the first year, the investment will be worth $1,070.
Explanation:
The value of a deposit investment is determined by the interest rate and time. Time affects the value of an investment by this small-scale businessman in many ways. The passage of time increases the value of his investment. However, the total increase may not be due to the interest rate, but inflation also affects asset's value. For this businessman to make a gain in the investment, the interest rate must be higher than the inflation rate. Otherwise, the investment loses money due to the effects of inflation, which reduces the real value of an asset over time.
Scenario: Home Monopolist) A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 60 2Q and has total costs given by TC = Q2. Its marginal revenue is MR = 60 4Q and its marginal cost is MC = 2Q. Compared with the no-trade equilibrium, consumer surplus ___________ when the monopolist engages in free trade.
Answer:
2Q
Explanation:
Economy equilibrium is where MC = MR.
Marginal cost equals marginal return when the supply and demand is linear. Consumer surplus is the additional amount that a consumer is willing to pay for the goods and services. Here MC = 2Q and MR = 60 + 4Q. Here consumer is paying 2Q additional in the equation of marginal return.
Darth Company sells three products. Sales and contribution margin ratios for the three products follow: Given these data, the contribution margin ratio for the company as a whole would be:
Answer: A. 25%
Explanation:
The Contribution margin for the whole company = [tex]\frac{Total Contribution Margin Amounts}{Total Sales}[/tex]
Total Contribution Margin = (0.45 * 25,000) + (0.4 * 40,000) + ( 0.15 * 100,000)
= 9,000+16,000+15,000
= $40,000
Total Sales = 20,000+40,000+100,000
= $160,000
Contribution Margin for the whole Company = [tex]\frac{40,000}{160,000}[/tex]
= 25%
g The Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000. The currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent. By how much does the quantity of money increase?
Answer: $618,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000 and that the currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent.
We first have to calculate the money multiplier which will be:
= (1 + the currency drain ratio)/( the currency drain ratio + the reserve ratio)
= (1 + 33.33%)/(33.33% + 10%)
= ( 1 + 0.33)/(0.33 + 0.1)
= 1.33/0.43
= 3.09
The quantity of money increase will be:
= 3.09 × $200,000
= $618,000

Western Electric has 26,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $67 and a rate of return of 13.60 percent. The firm has 6,700 shares of 6.60 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $89.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $368,000 and currently sells for 105 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 7.72 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 35 percent?
Answer:
Weighted average cost of capital= 11.03%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance:
Cost of Equity= 13.6%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 7.72%× (1-0.35)= 5.018 %
Cost of preferred stock costs
= Div/Price × 100 = (6.60%× 100)/89× 100 =7.42%
Step 2 : Market value of all the sources of funds
Equity = $67×26,000 =1,742,000
Preferred stock = 89.00 × 6,700 = $596,300
Debt- 105/100 × 368,000 = $386,400
Step 3; Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Source Cost Market value Cost × Market value a b c b× c
Equity 13.6% $1,742,000 236,912
Preferred stock 7.42% $596,300 = 44,245.46
Debt 5.018 % 386400 = 19,389.55
Total 2,724,700 300,547.01
WACC = (300,547.01/ 2,724,700) × 100 = 11.03%
Weighted average cost of capital= 11.03%

Answer:
d.3.53
Explanation:
times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense
interest expense = bonds payable x interest rate = $1,219,553 x 12% = $146,346.36EBIT = Income before income tax for year + interest expense = $370,069 + $146,346.36 = $516,415.36times interest earned ratio = $516,415.36 / $146,346.36 = 3.5287 ≈ 3.53
Preferred dividends are not considered interest expense.
False Value Hardware began 2021 with a credit balance of $32,900 in the refund liability account. Sales and cash collections from customers during the year were $730,000 and $690,000, respectively. False Value estimates that 7% of all sales will be returned. During 2021, customers returned merchandise for credit of $18,000 to their accounts.
Answer:
Closing balance = $66,OOO
Explanation:
DATA
Opening balance in allowance for sales return = 32,900
Sales = 730,000
Cash Collection= 690,000
Estimated sales return = 7% of all sales = 51100
Merchandise return for credit = 18,000
We can calculate the closing balance in the allowance for sales return account by adding estimated returns and deducting merchandise return from opening balance.
Closing balance = Opening balance + Estimated sales return - Merchandise return for credit
Closing balance = $32,900 + $51,100 - $18,000
Closing balance = $66,OOO
