Answer:
No of Firms Present - 4 firms / few firms
Type of Product - Standadized Product
All the companies are offering a standadized product of broadband Internet access of the same speed.
Appropriate Market Model - Oligopoly
An Oligopoly is a concentrated market structure where a few firms dominate the market and offer the same products. Gaining entrance into this type of market is considered hard as the existing firms are already very entrenched and dislodging them will require a huge cash outlay. The Broadband internet market in this town is therefore an Oligopoly.
A corporate bond pays 3% of its face value once per year. If this $4 comma 000 10-year bond sells now for $4 comma 450, what yield will be earned on this bond? Assume the bond will be redeemed at the end of 10 years for $4 comma 000.
Answer:
The answer is 1.76%
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 10 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $4,450
PMT( coupon payment) = $120 (7 percent x $4,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $4,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 10; PV = -4,450; PMT = 120; FV= 4,000;
CPT I/Y= 1.76
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond is bond is 1.76%
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%
You are thinking of building a new machine that will save you $ 4 comma 000$4,000 in the first year. The machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 1 %1% per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the interest rate is 9 %9% per year?
Answer:
The present value of the savings=$37,064.22
Explanation:
The present value of the savings is the amount that it worths today, this would be done in two stages;
The first stage is to determined the present of the first cash savings as follows:
PV of the first payment = 4,000 × (1.09)^(-1)=3,669.72
Second step is to determine the present value of the declining perpetuity
PV of declining perpetuity. A perpetuity is the series of cash flow occurring for the foreseeable future of years.
A- 4,000, g-negative growth rate = 1%,
interest rate = 9%
PV in year 1 = 4,000× (1-0.09)/(0.09+0.01)
= 36,400
PV in year 0 = 36,400 × (1.09)^(-1) = 33,394.49
The present value of the savings = 33,394.49 + 3,669.72= 37,064.22
The present value of the savings=$37,064.22
Maria, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Juan, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Juan still has significant time remaining on his lease. Juan has notified Maria in writing of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Juan’s options if Maria declines to do the repairs? Please discuss all remedies Juan may seek. Please remember to reference the contract and text to support your analysis.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
Joan may as well put a call through to Maria in addition to his previous mail. Several remedial options are available to Juan and each has its own merits and demerits. It is proper for the tenant to consider each options carefully and seek legal opinion where necessary. However, if Maria declines to do the repairs, Juan may seek the following remedies
• Repair and deduct remedy . In this type of remedy, a tenant may deduct money that is equivalent of a month's rent to cover the cost of the repair or defect. Rental unit 156 covers a condition whether faulty or substandard rented unit could affect the tenant's health and safety. Since the landlord has refused to do the repair, she is guilty of implied warranty of habitability which includes leak in the roof, gas leak, no running water etc. Also, the tenant may not have to file a lawsuit against the landlord since this type of remedy has legal aid. Other conditions attached in addition to the above are ; the repairs cannot cost more than a month's rent, the tenant cannot use the repair and deduct remedy more that twice in any 12 month period, tenant must have informed the landlord in writing and through calls of the faulty area that requires repair. His family or pets must not be the cause of the faulty area that needed to be repaired etc.
• The abandonment remedy . Here, the tenant could move out of the faulty unit or defective rental unit due to its substandard condition which could affect his health and safety. Where the tenant uses the abandonment remedy judiciously, he is not liable to pay any other rent once he has abandoned or moved out of the defective rental unit. The conditions attached are that; the defects must be serious and directly related to the tenant's health and safety, the tenant or his family must not be the cause of the faulty space that requires repair. Moreover, the tenant must have informed the landlord whether in writing or orally telephone calls of the defects that requires repair.
• The rent withholding remedy. Legally, a tenant could withhold house rent if the landlord fails to take care of serious defects that negates the implied warranty of habitability. Conditions attached to this type of remedy are; the defects to be repaired must have threatened the tenant's safety and wellbeing. Again, the faulty or defective unit must be such that it becomes uninhabitable for the tenant . The tenant, his family or pets must not be the cause of the defects that requires repairs. The tenant must have also notified the landlord either through phone calls on in writing, amongst others.
• The tenant could also file a lawsuit against the landlord to recover the cost expended to fixing the faulty repairs where the landlord was not willing to do so. Conditions that must be met before this option could stand in the court of law are; the rental unit has serious defect that is not safe for living. A housing inspector has inspected the house and found to be short of minimum requirements for habitable place etc. A tenant may seek this type of redress where the option for out of court settlement has failed with the landlord.

You purchased 200 shares of ABC common stock on margin at $50 per share. Assume the initial margin is 50% and the maintenance margin is 30%. You will get a margin call if the stock drops below what price? (Assume the stock pays no dividends, and ignore interest on the margin loan.)
Answer:
Margin call will be obtained if the stock price drops below $35.71
Explanation:
Here in this question, we start by calculating the maintenance margin
Mathematically;
Maintenance margin = Equity/market value
From the question, maintenance margin= 30%
= 30/100 = 0.3
Let the unknown price be P.
Thus, the market value of the 200 shares at price P is 200p
Hence;
0.3 = (200 * p - purchased stock value * initial margin)/200p
0.3 * 200p = 200p - 200(0.5 * 50)/200p
0.3 * 200p = 200p - 5000
60p = 200p -5000
140p = 5000
p = 5000/140
p = $35.71

Explanation:
Common Stocks are at no par value:
This means that ,
1.When Common Stocks are Issued, the value is the issue price there is no share premium reserve on it.
2. For consideration paid in Common Stocks, value of stocks would be the same as the cost at initial recognition. For example the Purchase of Land on April 1. Initial recognition is at Asking Price of $91,000. Hence common stocks are issued at $91,000.
Preference Stocks are at $100 par
This means that,
1.Any issue of Preference Stock made in excess of par value is accounted in the Preference Share Premium Reserve.

Indicate whether the following changes would cause a shift in the demand curve for Product A and, if so, the direction of the shift.
Change Demand curve shift? Direction of shift?
Increase in price of complementary product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Increase in the price of the Product A Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Launch of effective advertising campaign for Product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Answer:
yes decrease
No N/A
Yes, Increase
Explanation:
A complementary good is a good that is consumed together. If the price of the complementary good increases, the quantity demanded of the good would decrease. this would lead to a decrease in demand for product A.
an increase in the price of product A, would increase the quantity demanded. an increase in quantity demanded leads to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve
An effective advertising campaign would increase the visibility of the product and increase the demand for the product. an increase in demand leads to an outward shift of the demand curve.
What is the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity (use a calculator) for the $1,000 semi-annual bond? Assume this is issued in the United States: 10 years to maturity, 6 percent coupon rate, current price is $950.
Answer:
6.67% and 6.694%
Explanation:
The computation of the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity is shown below:
For Approximate yield to maturity it is
= 2 × ((Face value - current price) ÷ (2 × time period) + face value × coupon rate ÷ 2) ÷ (Face value + current price) ÷ 2)
=2 × (($1,000 - $950) ÷ (2 × 10) + $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2) ÷ (($1,000 + $950) ÷ 2)
= 6.67%
Now
the Exact yield to maturity is
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)
= RATE (10 × 2, 6% × $1000 ÷ 2,-$950,$1,000) × 2
= 6.694%

Answer:
desired ending inventory= 21,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In preparing the direct materials budget for Quan Company, management concludes that required purchases are 64,000 units. If 52,000 direct materials units are required in production and there are 9,000 units of beginning direct material.
To calculate the desired ending inventory, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
desired ending inventory= purchases - production + beginning inventory
desired ending inventory= 64,000 - 52,000 + 9,000
desired ending inventory= 21,000
CakeCo, Inc. has three operating departments. Information about these departments is listed below. Maintenance is service department at CakeCo that incurred $20,400 of costs during the period. If allocated maintenance cost is based on floor space occupied by each of the operating departments, compute the amount of maintenance cost allocated to the Baking Department.
Mixing Baking Packaging
Direct costs $ 36,000 $ 30,000 $ 24,000
Sq. ft. of space 2,500 3,750 1,250
a. $272.
b. $816.
c. $10,000.
d. $13,950.
e. $10,200.
Answer: e. $10,200.
Explanation:
Total Square ft. of space;
= 2,500 + 3,750 + 1,250
= 7,500 Sq. ft. of space
Baking Department occupies 3,750 ft² of that space so it will be apportioned a cost of;

= $10,200
A growing population encourages economic growth as it creates a larger workforce. Suppose a surge in immigration increases a country's total population and its overall economic output increases. As a result, the country's real GDP increases from $304,000 to $316,500. What is the percent change in real GDP
Answer:
4.11%
Explanation:
the percentage change in real GDP = [(new real GDP - old real GDP) / old real GDP] x 100 = [($316,500 - $304,000) / $304,000] x 100 = 4.11%
Generally a surge in immigration will result in both higher nominal and real GDP, but what should be more important is how real GDP per capita changes. If real GDP per capita increases, then the inflow was positive and made the economy grow for better. If real GDP per capita decreases, even if total real GDP increases, then the economy is not doing better.

First National Bank charges 14.1 percent compounded monthly on its business loans. First United Bank charges 14.4 percent compounded semiannually. Calculate the EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EAR First National % First United %
Answer:
For First National Bank = 15.05%
For first United bank = 14.92%
Explanation:
The computation of EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank is shown below:-
Effective annual rate EAR = (( 1 + i ÷ n)^n) - 1
as
I indicates the annual interest rate
n indicates the number of the compounding period

= ((1 + 0.141 ÷ 12)^12) - 1
= 1.1505 - 1
= 0.1505
or
= 15.05%
For first United bank
Effective annual rate EAR is
= (( 1+ 0.144 ÷ 2)^2) - 1
= 1.1492 -1
= 0.1492
or
= 14.92%

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.
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.

Brown Industries has a debt-equity ratio of 1.5. Its WACC is 9.6 percent, and its cost of debt is 5.7 percent. There is no corporate tax. a. What is the company's cost of equity capital
Answer:
Cost of equity capital is 0.122 or 12.2%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. The capital structure may contain one, two or all of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is calculated by taking the weighted average of the each components cost.
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each componentD, P and E represent debt, preferred stock and common equity respectivelyTo calculate the cost of equity capital, we first need to find out the weight of each component in the capital structure.
debt to equity = 1.5
So, debt = 1
equity = 1.5
Total assets = 1 + 1.5 = 2.5
wD = 1/2.5 = 0.4
wE = 1.5/2.5 =0.6
Using the WACC formula,
0.096 = 0.4 * 0.057 + 0.6 * rE
0.096 = 0.0228 + 0.6 * rE
0.096 - 0.0228 = 0.6 * rE
0.0732 / 0.6 = rE
rE = 0.122 or 12.2%
