Question:
Exodus Limousine Company has $1,000 par value bonds outstanding at 15 percent interest. The bonds will mature in 30 years. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Compute the current price of the bonds if the percent yield to maturity is 10%
Note the tutor added 10% as the yield
Answer:
Price of bond= $1,471.35
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond Exodus Limousine Company can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A-annul interest payment:
= 15% × 1,000 = 150
r-Annual yield = 10%
n-Maturity period = 30
PV of interest payment:
=150× (1- (1+0.1)^(-30)/0.1= 1,414.037
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1000 × (1.1)^(-30) = 57.308
Step 3
Price of bond
=1,414.037 + 57.308 = 1,471.345
Price of bond= $1,471.345
Total Variable Overhead Variance Mulliner Company showed the following information for the year:
Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $3.50
Standard hours (SH) allowed per unit 3
Actual production in units 20,000
Actual variable overhead costs $220,500
Actual direct labor hours 61,200
Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct labor hours for actual production.
2. Calculate the applied variable overhead.
3. Calculate the total variable overhead variance.
Answer:
1. The standard direct labor hours for actual production
Standard hours per unit: 3 hours
Actual output: 20,000
Standard labour hours for actual production = 20,000 * 3
=60,000 hours
2. Applied variable Overhead
Standard hours allowed per unit = 3
Overhead rate per hour = $3.5
Standard Overhead rate per unit = Standard hours allowed per unit * OH rate per hour =3 hours * $3.5
=10.5
Actual output = 20000
Variable OH applied = Actual output * Standard Overhead rate per unit
= 20,000 * $10.5
= $210,000
3. Total Variable Overhead variance
Actual Oh incurred $220,500
Std variable Overhead to be allowed $210,000

MAD Corp. has 20-year bonds with an 8% coupon rate and a 10% yield to maturity. What would be MAD's appropriate after-tax cost of debt if their tax rate is 40%? a. 8.0% b. 4.8% c. 6.0% d. 10.0%
Answer:
After-tax cost of deb = 6%
Explanation:
The cost of debt is the required rate of return payable to investors in the debt instruments of a company. These investors include providers of long term debt finance to the company.
The cost of debt finance can determined by working out the yield to maturity on debt with adjustment for tax.
It is noteworthy that debt finance affords the company a tax savings advantage because interest expense incurred on the use of debt of are tax deductible expense.
After-tax cost of debt = (1- Tax rate) × before-tax cost of debt
Before tax cost of debt = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After-tax cost of debt = (1-0.4) × 10% = 6%
After-tax cost of deb = 6%
Scenario 9-1 For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is Q D = 200 − 2P , where Q D represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is Q S = -60 + 3P , where Q S represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. Refer to Scenario 9-1. Suppose the world price of cardboard is $45. Then, relative to the no-trade situation, international trade in cardboard a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. b. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. c. harms Boxlandian consumers by $336 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00. d. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00.
Answer: a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50.
Explanation:
Equilibrium price will be at level where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.
200 − 2P = -60 + 3P
200+60 = 5P
5P = 260
P = $52
Equilibrium Quantity Demanded = 200 − 2P = 200 - 2 * 52 = 96 units
In a no-trade situation the demand in Boxland is 96 units at a price of $52. If they were to buy at the world price of $45, they would benefit;
= (96 * 52) - (96 * 45)
= 4,992 - 4,320
= $672
Producers however would produce the following at a price of $45;
Q S = -60 + 3P
= -60 + 3(45)
= 75 units
They would be supplying less units and be hurt.
Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Total Direct materials $ 650 $ 7,590 $ 24,860 $ 33,100 Direct labor 2,180 20,700 67,800 90,680 Manufacturing overhead applied 930 7,130 22,940 31,000 Total $ 3,760 $ 35,420 $ 115,600 $ 154,780 Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
Answer:
$3,833
Explanation:
The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:
But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below
Amount added is
= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost
= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780
= $72.88
Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is
= $3,760 + $72.88
= $3,833
A 20-year, $1,000 par value bond has a 6.5% annual payment coupon. The bond currently sells for $950. If the yield to maturity remains at its current rate, what will the price be 5 years from now
Answer:
Explanation:
First we need the calculate the YTM
Use following Following formula
Price of the bond = C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r + F / ( 1 + r )
Where
C = Coupoon Payment = $1,000 x 6.5% = $65
n = numbers of periods = 20
F =Face value = $1,000
Priec of the bond = $950
r = YTM = ?
Placing values in the formula
$950 = $65 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-20 / r + $1,000 / ( 1 + r )
r = 6.971%
Now calculte the price after 5 years
n = numbers of periods = 20 - 5 = 15 years
r = Yield to maturity = 6.971%
Placing values in the formula
Price of the bond = $65 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 6.971% )^-15 / 6.971% + $1,000 / ( 1 + 6.971% )
Price of the bond = $957.02
Once the U.S. government opened its domestic markets to international trade, the competition from imported cars, steel, and other products caused demand for similar U.S. goods to
Answer: b. fall, leading to lower output, fewer workers, and an overall decline in union membership.
Explanation:
Once the US Government opened up its market to international trade, the competition from imported cars, steel, and other products caused demand for similar U.S. goods to fall. This happened because people started importing more goods from outside as they were cheaper than the goods produced in the US. Chinese steel for instance, did not have the same high labor input costs as US steel and so could be sold at cheaper levels.
As a result of less people demanding US products, the companies had to reduce output to reduce the losses they were making. This led them to let some of their workers go and as the people were no longer working, Unions lost members.
Kindzi Co. has preferred stock outstanding that is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.18 every year in perpetuity. If the required return is 4.19 percent, what is the current stock price?
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $99.76
Explanation:
The price of a stock which pays a constant dividend throughout for an indefinite period of time can be calculated using the present value of perpetuity formula. The stock qualifies as a perpetuity as it pays a constant cash flow after equal intervals of time and for indefinite time period.
The formula for the present value of perpetuity is,
Present Value = Cash Flow or Dividend / r
Where,
r is the discount ratePresent value = 4.18 / 0.0419
Present value = $99.76
So, the current price of the stock is $99.76
The Freeman Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
Complete question is given at the end of the question.
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:
Net Income is an accounting profits which includes both cash flow items and non cash flow items. It can be calculated as under:
Net Income = (Sales - Cost - Depreciation) - (Income Before Tax * Tax Rate)
The computation is given in the Second excel sheet attached.
Requirement 2:
According to relevant costing principles if the cost is relevant then it must satisfy following conditions:
Must be cash flow in nature.Must be Future related (no past commitments).Differential or must be incrementalSo this means that the depreciation would not be taken into account as it is not a relevant cost and thus must not be included as an incremental cost.
Incremental Cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
Incremental Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation (Removing its impact) - Working Capital Injection + Working Capital Withdrawal
The calculation for each year is shown in the second attachment.
Requirement 3:
The NPV can be calculated by discounting each year cash flow by the rate of return which in this case is 12%.
The formula for calculating the NPV is as under:
NPV = Investment in year zero - Net Cash Flow of Y1 / (1 + r)^1 - Net Cash Flow of Y2 / (1 + r)^2 - Net Cash Flow of Y3 / (1 + r)^3 - Net Cash Flow of Y4 / (1 + r)^4
The computation of NPV is given in the second attachment given below:

Companies that have multiple outsourcers may hire an outsource relationship management company to monitor and manage the outsourcing relationships. Select one: True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
But, this answer depends on which companies are outsourcing to and from. This is because the definition of an outsourcer is the large company that outsources the provision of its goods and services to smaller companies and also the small company that provides goods and services to larger companies. It is a pari-passu definition.
If the companies involved in this case are providers of outsourcing services, then they do not require an outsource relationship management company to monitor and manage the outsourcing relationships. Instead, it could occasionally employ consultants to help them in assessing how the relationships are being managed. It is their primary responsibility to manage the outsourcing relationships and should not outsource this management.

Small businesses, in the meantime, may reinvest the money with some other professional reasons, such as capital expenditures, to operated everyday duties.
For example:
A small scale manufacturing business buys raw materials and components but hasn't charged meaning it buys the building resources on collateral which is considered easy cash the business has unlimited suppliers worth value for such a brief amount of time.Throughout my private situation, I could high inventory turnover such as when I take loans through my relative to buy something, and afterward return next months or defined period.

A. positivistic/empirical
B. interpretive
C. critical
D. scientific
Answer:
B. interpretive
Explanation:
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the interpretive approach.
In an interpretive approach to research, researchers are mainly focused on deciphering detailed meaning or rich descriptions so they can have a better understanding of the subject matter.
Under interpretive study, it is assumed that the meaning associated with matters are subjective and inter-subjective depending on their perception, thus researchers attempt to understand matters through the meanings attached by individuals in the sampling population.
Hence, interpretive researchers assume that issues are not singular or objective but depends on various human experiences.
Osborn Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate of $20.00 per direct labor-hour. This predetermined rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $276,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 13,800 direct labor-hours. The company actually incurred $275,000 of manufacturing overhead and 13,300 direct labor-hours during the period.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period.
b. Assume that the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Would the journal entry to dispose of the underapplied or overhead increase or decrease the company's gross margin? By how much?
Answer:
1. Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual hours * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 13300 * $20
Manufacturing overhead applied = $266,000
From the question, Osborn Manufacturing actually incurred $275,000 of manufacturing overhead. Hence, the Manufacturing overhead is under-applied because the applied manufacturing overhead is less than the actual manufacturing overhead
Hence, Manufacturing overhead under-applied = $275,000 - $266,000
= $9,000
2. Since the applied manufacturing overhead is less than the actual manufacturing overhead, the gross margin would decrease by $9,000. The journal entry will use the under-applied manufacturing overhead for record.

If portfolio weights are positive: 1) Can the return on a portfolio ever be less than the smallest return on an individual security in the portfolio? 2) Can the variance of a portfolio ever be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio? A) 1) yes; 2) no B) 1) no; 2) yes C) 1) no; 2) no D) 1) maybe; 2) no E) 1) yes; 2) yes
Answer: B) 1) no; 2) yes
Explanation:
The return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be between the highest return and the lowest return. It cannot exceed these limits.
With Variance however, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio because in the calculation of portfolio variance, the correlation is used in the calculation (refer to formula below). As a result, if the securities are negatively correlated, it could lead to a lower value than the smallest variance in the portfolio.
Variance of Portfolio = (w(1)^2 * o(1)^2) + (w(2)^2 * o(2)^2) + (2 * (w(1)*o(1)*w(2)*o(2)*q(1,2)))
Highlighted portion is the correlation. If this is negative, Portfolio variance will reduce to a point lower than the lowest individual variance.
Based on the information given, the correct option will be B. 1) no; 2) yes
It should be noted that the return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be calculated as the value that is between the highest return and the lowest return.
In such a case, the return on a portfolio can never be less than the smallest return on the individual security in the portfolio. Also, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of the individual security in the portfolio.

Payback period =
Answer:
2.554 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
to derive cash flow from net income, add depreciation back
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$140,000 / 5 = $28,000
depreciation expense each year would be $28,000
cash flow in year 1 = $9500 + $28,000 = $37,500
cash flow in year 2= $23,500 + $28,000 =$51,500
cash flow in year 3 =$64,000 + $28,000 = $92,000
cash flow in year 4 =$35,500 + $28,000 = $63,500
cash flow in year 5 =$94,000 + $28,000 = $122,000
in year 1, the amount recovered = $-140,000 + $37,500 = $-102,500
in year 2, the amount recovered = $-102,500 + $51,500 = $-51,000
in year 3, the amount recovered = $-51,000 + $92,000 = $41,000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 years + 51,000 / 92,000 = 2.554 years

= 12/100
= 0.12
Therefore, the expected growth rate is calculated as follows
Growth rate= Equity cost of capital-(Dividend/Current price)
= 0.12-(2.9/28)
= 0.12-0.103571
= 0.01243×100
= 1.24%
Hence the expected growth rate is Sisyphean company's earning is closest to 1.24%
Sharon Baricivic is a manager in the credit department for Hardaway's Lawncare Supplies. Joe Greene is a new employee in her department. While Joe has been learning his job, Sharon has provided him with guidance by offering advice, encouragement, and instructions. However, she has been careful to let Joe do all of the actual work he is assigned, even if he struggles a bit. Sharon's approach to getting Joe up to speed indicates that she is:
Answer:
coaching Joe rather than helping him
Explanation:
Coaching is a process where a more experienced person teaches a learner achieve a goal by giving guidance and training.
Helping is when a person assists another to do a job that is their responsibility.
In this scenario Sharon Baricivic has provided Joe with guidance by offering advice, encouragement, and instructions. So he is coaching him.
However, she has been careful to let Joe do all of the actual work he is assigned, even if he struggles a bit.
So she is not helping Joe do his work, but rather letting him do it even if it means him struggling a bit.
A person borrows $150 that he must repay in a lump sum no more than 8 years from now. The interest rate is 9.9% annually compounded. The borrower can repay the loan at the end of any earlier year with no prepayment penalty. a. What amount will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year? b. How much would the borrower have to repay after 4 years? c. What amount is due at the end of the eighth year?
Answer:
a. $181.17
b. $218.82
c. $319.21
Explanation:
If the borrower repays the loan after 2 year
PV = $150
n = 2
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $181.1702
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $181.17.
If the borrower repays the loan after 4 years
PV = $150
n = 4
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $218.8175
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $218.82.
If the borrower repays the loan after 8 years
PV = $150
n = 8
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $319.2073
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $319.21.
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley owned acre as joint tenants in fee simple absolute. Ms Kingsley secretly conveyed her interest to herself in an instrument that added, "I hereby terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre with Mr. Kingsley." Ms. Kingsley thereafter leased a portion of the property to Mr. Matthew, over the objections of Mr. Kingsley for Mr. Matthew to use for holding boxing matches. Their lease provided that Mr. Matthew would pay $1000.00 on the first day of each month during which he was permitted to use the property. Mr. Kingsley demanded from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents received from Mr. Matthew.
Required:
Describe the property relations between the parties and Mr. Kingsley's rights and remedies.
Answer:
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley as Joint Tenants
1. Property Relations between Mr. and Ms. Kingsley: The titles show that the Kingsleys are living together but not married partners. However, the Black-acre is jointly owned by these partners. Each has equal rights and obligations over the acre. Ms. Kingsley does not have absolute right to sell or lease any part of the acre without the consent of Mr. Kingsley or without obtaining a court permit to sell or lease, especially upon Mr. Kingsley's objections. She also lacks the legal right to secretly "terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre" without the knowledge of Mr. Kingsley or without going through the applicable court process.
2. Mr. Kingsley's Rights and Remedies: Having leased a portion of the acre to Mr. Matthew, Mr. Kingsley is entitled to half of the monthly lease payments. He also has the right to demand from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents from the lease. He can, in the absence of Ms. Kingsley's refusal, initiate a court process to enforce his joint-tenancy rights.
Explanation:
Joint-tenancy can exist between Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Kingsley, whether they are legally married or not. Joint-tenancy can also exist between two or more parties without the intention of marriage. The term is a legal term that describes an equally shared ownership interest in a property. Joint-tenancy deeds are established in order to avoid the need for a probate in the case of a party's death.
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.

The manager for a growing firm is considering the launch of a new product. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. For $171,000, the manager can conduct a focus group that will increase the product's chance of success to 55 percent. Alternatively, the manager has the option to pay a consulting firm $386,000 to research the market and refine the product. The consulting firm successfully launches new products 70 percent of the time. If the firm successfully launches the product, the payoff will be $1.86 million. If the product is a failure, the NPV is zero.
1. Calculate the NPV for each option available for the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567.)
2. Which action should the firm undertake?
A. Consulting firm
B. Focus group
C. Go to market now
Answer:
1. Calculate the NPV for each option available for the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567.)
go to market now = $744,000focus group = $852,000consulting firm = $916,0002. Which action should the firm undertake?
A. Consulting firmThe NPV is higher than the rst of the options.
Explanation:
expected payoffs:
option 1 (go to market now) = (40% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $744,000option 2 (focus group) = (55% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,023,000option 3 (consulting firm) = (70% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,302,000expected NPVs:
option 1 (go to market now) = $744,000option 2 (focus group) = $1,023,000 - $171,000 = $852,000option 3 (consulting firm) = $1,302,000 - $386,000 = $916,000go to market now
Praxis Corp. is expected to generate a free cash flow (FCF) of $7,360.00 million this year (FCF₁ = $7,360.00 million), and the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 20.20% over the following two years (FCF₂ and FCF₃). After the third year, however, the FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2.46% per year, which will last forever (FCF₄). Assume the firm has no nonoperating assets. If Praxis Corp.’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.38%, what is the current total firm value of Praxis Corp.? (Note: Round all intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
Answer:
$202,216.54 million
Explanation:
FCF₁ = $7,360 million
FCF₂ = $8,846.72 million
FCF₃ = $10,633.76 million
FCF₄ = $10,910.24 million and will continue to grow at 2.46%
we must first determine the terminal value at year 3:
terminal value = $10,910.24 million / (7.38% - 2.46%) = $221,752.85 million
firm's current total value = $7,360 million / 1.0738 + $8,846.72 million / 1.0738² + $10,633.76 million / 1.0738³ + $221,752.85 / 1.0738³ = $6,854.16 + $7,672.48 + $8,588.49 + $179,101.41 = $202,216.54
