Penney Fashions is adding a new line of shoes to the company portfolio and has the following information: the expected market return is 13%, the risk-free rate is 3%, and the expected return on the new project is 11%. What is the beta of the project?
Answer:
0.80
Explanation:
Based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model(CAPM), the formula for determining the expected return on the project stated below can be used to determine the beta of the project, whereby the formula is rearranged such that the project beta is made the subject of the formula:
expected return=risk-free rate+beta*(market return-risk-free rate)
expected return on the project=11%
risk-free rate=3%
beta=the unknown
market return=13%
11%=3%+beta*(13%-3%)
11%=3%+beta*10%
11%-3%=beta*10%
8%=beta*10%
beta=8%/10%=0.80
What is the margin of safety (in sales) when a business has sales of $485,000, sales of $225,000 at break-even point, and unit selling price of $55
Answer:
Margin of safety= $260,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $485,000
Break-even point in dollars= $225,000
To calculate the break-even point in sales dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 485,000 - 225,000
Margin of safety= $260,000
Charley Davison Inc. produced 10,000 motorcycles last year and sold 9,000 of them each for $18,000/bike. Variable cost was $13,000/bike. Fixed cost was $25 million and it had no debt. Assume no profits tax. It paid out all profits as dividends. Which of the following are true?
a. Profits = $20 million
b. Profits = $25 milion
c. Piotits-513 million loss)
d. Change in cash= -S20 million
e. Change in cash= -$25 million
f. Change in cash =- $13 million
Answer:
a. Profits = $20 million
Explanation:
The computation is shown below
Total revenue is
= Number of bikes sold × sale price of a bike
= 9,000 × 18,000
= $162,000,000
Total costs = fixed costs + variable costs
where,
Fixed costs = $25 million or $25,000,000.
And,
The Variable cost for the bikes sold is
= number of bikes sold × variable cost per bike
= 9000 × 13000
= $117,000,000
So, the total costs is
= $25,000,000 + $117,000,000
= $142,000,000
Now
Profit = total revenue - total cost
= $162,000,000 - $142,000,000
= $20,000,000
Hence, the correct option is a.

You are given an annuity-immediate with 11 annual payments of 100 and a final balloon payment at the end of 12 years. At an annual effective interest rate of 3.5%, the present value at time 0 of all the payments is 1,000. Using an annual effective interest rate of 1%, calculate the present value at the beginning of the ninth year of all remaining payments.
Answer:
The present value at the beginning of the ninth year of all remaining payments is 316.09
Explanation:
It is assumed that it is an ordinary annuity.
First, we need to calculate the final payment.
Use the following formula to calculate the final payment
Final Payment When an annuity is ordinary
Final payment = fv(rate,nper,pmt,pv) * (1+3.5%)
Where
rate = 3.5%
nper = 11
pmt = 100
pv = -1,000
Placing values in the formula
Final payment = fv(3.5%,11,100,-1000)*1.035
Final payment = $150.87
Now calculate the present value at the beginning of the ninth year of all remaining payments.
Present Value = ( Ninth payment / ( 1 + interest rate )^9 ) + ( Tenth payment / ( 1 + interest rate )^10 ) + ( Eleventh payment / ( 1 + interest rate )^11 ) + ( Final payment / ( 1 + interest rate )^11 )
Present Value = ( 100 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^9 ) + ( 100 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^10 ) + ( 100 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^11 ) + ( 150.87 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^11 )
Present Value = 73.37 + 70.89 + 68.49 + 103.34
Present Value = 316.09

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira. Read the summary of the court opinion. Could something like this bankrupt a company? Do you agree with the decision? Why? How does a company avoid this type situation?
The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira.
Could something like this bankrupt a company?
Yes, it can, if the proper forecast were not done taking into consideration all of the possible variables at medium and long-range.
Do you agree with the decision?
It was a tough decision because the court declared in its decision that the performance was not impracticable, as Maple Farm Inc indicated when decided to break the contract.
In strict theory, I agree with the court's decision because the explanation was that an "impractical" occurred when an event happened totally unexpected. And in this case, Mapple Farm Inc could have taken extra provisions knowing that milk had a 10% increase the last year and had the chance of more increases in the present year.
That is how a company can avoid this type of situation. Taking better provisions, contemplating all kinds of variables, knowing that in the future, something unexpected can happen and could be prevented with the proper forecast.

e. any of the other answers can occur.
Answer:
e. any of the other answers can occur.
Explanation:
The reason for the decision above is variances are not dependent on the direct material quantity variance and the calculation of all is differ. We also know the total direct material variance is total of material quantity & price variance that is because total variance may be favorable or unfavorable. And the option(d) direct labor efficiency variance do not relate with material variance.
Mr. Jagger is purchasing a $3,000,000 home by borrowing 80% of the purchase price. His loan terms are: 15 years amortization, monthly payments, 5.00% annual interest rate. The monthly payment will be: a. $18,979.05 b. $18,599.47 c. $18,409.68 d. $19,358.63 3.488 points
Answer:
Monthly payment= $18,979.05
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Loan (PV)= 3,000,000*0.8= $2,400,000
Monthly interest rate (i)= 0.05/12= 0.00416667
Number of periods (n)= 15*12= 180 months
To calculate the monthly payment, we need to use the following formula:
Monthly payment= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly payment= (2,400,000*0.00416667) / [1 - (1.00416667^-180)]
Monthly payment= $18,979.05
What is the maximum amount a firm should pay for a project that will return $15,000 annually for 5 years if the opportunity cost is 10%
Answer:
$56,861.80
Explanation:
The maximum price an investor would pay an investment today is the present value of the investment's future cash flows discounted by the opportunity cost of capital of 10%.
Present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+cost of capital)^n
n refers to the period in which the cash flow is expected , for instance,for year 1 cash flow n is 1, 2 for year 2 and so on.
PV=$15,000/(1+10%)^1+$15,000/(1+10%)^2+$15,000/(1+10%)^3+$15,000/(1+10%)^4+$15,000/(1+10%)^5
PV=$56,861.80

Jimmy has $167,933 accumulated in a 401K plan. The fund is earning a low, but safe, 3% per year. The withdrawals will take place at the end of each year starting a year from now. How soon will the fund be exhausted if Jimmy withdrawals $31,000 each year
Answer:
6 years
Explanation:
Rate = 3%
PMT = 31,000
PV = -167,933
FV = 0
Using the MS Excel Nper function
How soon the fund will be exhausted = Nper(Rate, PMT, -PV, FV)
= Nper (3%, 31,000, -167,933, 0)
= 6.0000255
= 6 years
Thus, it will take 6 years for the fund to be exhausted
