Answer: C. open a cash account and invest in mutual funds holding high yielding common and preferred stocks
Explanation:
Investing in Mutual funds which hold high yielding common and preferred shares is the best option here. The dividends received will be high enough but will not be taxed too much as dividend tax is limited to 15% thereby saving the investment on taxes.
Also seeing as they will require the investment in other to buy a house in 5 years, they will need something that can be easily liquidated. Mutual funds are easy to liquidate from and so their investment here can be easily withdrawn when the time comes to allow them meet the house down payment.
A country operates under a flexible exchange rate system. When the central bank lowers the interest rate during a recession, investment spending will decrease, the exchange rate value of the currency will_____, and net exports will_____.
Answer:
decrease; increase
Explanation:
This is the case because as the central bank of that country lowers interest rate, with the goal recovering from the recession, but because the interest rate is low, the value of the country's currency (exchange rate) will decrease as a result of low investment spending.
When this occurs there will be an increase in net exports as a result of foreign demand because the prices of the country's export is now lower.
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?
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=$2.57/0.067
P0=$ 34.35
Based on this calculation, we can see that the price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.
Therefore the share price that you would expect after the announcement will be $34.35
Precise Machinery is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 3,500 units, give or take 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $260 and the expected fixed costs are $589,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 4 percent range. The depreciation expense is $129,000. The sales price is estimated at $750 per unit, plus or minus 3 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst case scenario
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
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. 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]
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.)
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%
Loredo Company's net income for 2017 is $50,000. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding were 1,000 options, each exercisable for one share at $6. None have been exercised, and 10,000 shares of common were outstanding during 2017. The average market price of Loredo's stock during 2017 was $10. The 1,000 options were issued on October 1, 2017. DEPS for 2017 is:__________.
a. $4.8
b. $4.55
c. $4.72
d. $4.95
e. $4.87
Answer:
DEPS for 2017 is: e. $4.87.
Explanation:
Diluted Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock = $50,000
Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks Outstanding 10,000
Add Potential Common Stock ; Options (1,000 × 3/12) 250
Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 10,250
Thus,Diluted Earnings per Share = $50,000 ÷ 10,250
= $4.87
Neither the payback period nor the accounting rate of return methods of evaluating investments considers the time value of money.
a) True
b) False
Answer:
The answer is true.
Explanation:
Both of payback period and Accounting Rate of Return do not consider the time value of money. And this is one of the big disadvantages in using these methods as a means of valuating capital project.
While payback period is the length of time it takes a firm to recover the cost of an investment, accounting rate of return is annual return(profit) on investment.
Payback period is only interested in when it will get its Investment back. It ignores the value or time after this investment has been realized.
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.
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

Explanation:
Compute the present value of a $2,000 deposit in year 1, and another $1,500 deposit at the end of year 3 if interest rates are 10 percent.
Answer:
the present value formula that I will use is the following:
present value = future value / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
in the first case, the present value of $2,000 in 1 year is:
PV = $2,000 / (1 + 10%) = $2,000 / 1.1 = $1,818.18
in the second case, the present value of $1,500 in 3 years is:
PV = $1,500 / (1 + 10%)³ = $1,500 / 1.331 = $1,126.97

Sales and actual warranty expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, are as follows:
Sales Actual Warranty Expenditures
2008 $150,000 $2,250
2009 250,000 7,500
$400,000 $9,750
What amount should Gum report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet?
a. $7,500
b. $4,250
c. $11,250
d. $14,250
e. $16,500
Answer:
d. $14,250
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Gum should report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet
First step
2% within twelve months following the sale + 4 % in the second twelve months following the sale.
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
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.
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%
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

A copy machine acquired on July 1 with a cost of $1,450 has an estimated useful life of four years. Assuming that it will have a residual value of $250, determine the depreciation for the first year by the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $1,450
Salvage value= $250
Useful life= 4 years
First, we need to determine the annual depreciation for the whole year using the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,450 - 250) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $600
Now, for 6 months:
Annual depreciation= (600/12)*6= $300

Maria is an investment adviser who is working through investment objectives and risk tolerance with a new client, Bobby. Bobby indicates that he'd like to see some capital appreciation, achieve at least some income, and wants to maintain a relatively high level of safety and principal protection. The BEST recommendation that Maria can make to Bobby is that Bobby invest in
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."
adjustments that increase or decrease earnings should be investigated with more skepticism.

Xia Co. manufactures a single product. All raw materials used are traceable to specific units of product. Current information for company follows: Beginning raw materials inventory $ 22,000 Ending raw materials inventory 25,000 Raw material purchases 99,000 Beginning work in process inventory 34,000 Ending work in process inventory 44,000 Direct labor 124,000 Total factory overhead 99,000 Beginning finished goods inventory 74,000 Ending finished goods inventory 54,000 The company's cost of direct materials used, cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold is:
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
