Suppose you own 50,000 shares of common stock in a firm with 2.5 million total shares outstanding. The firm announces a plan to sell an additional 1 million shares through a rights offering. The market value of the stock is $ 35 before the rights offering and the new shares are being offered to existing shareholders at a $ 5 discount. a.If you exercise your preemptive rights, how many of the new shares can you purchase? b.What is the market value of the firm after the rights offering? c.What is your total investment in the firm after the rights offering? How is your investment split between original shares and new shares? d.If you decide not to exercise your preemptive rights rather sell your rights, what is your investment in the firm after the rights offering? How is this split between old shares and rights?
Answer:
20,000 ; $117.5 million; $2,350,000; $1678500; $1,078,500
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of common stock shares owned = 50,000
outstanding shares = 2.5 million
Additional shares = 1 million
Market value of stock before rights offering = $35
Net stock price for existing shareholders ($5 discount) = $(35 - 5) = $30
A.) If you exercise your preemptive rights, how many of the new shares can you purchase?
Number of stocks / (outstanding shares ÷ additional shares)
[(50,000) ÷ (2.5 ÷1)] = 50,000/2.5 = 20,000
B.) b.What is the market value of the firm after the rights offering?
(Outstanding shares * market price) + ( additional shares * discount price)
(2.5million * $35) + (1 million * $30)
$87.5 + $30 = $117.5 million
C.) What is your total investment in the firm after the rights offering?
(stock shares held before offering * market price) + ( new shares that can be purchased * discount price)
(50,000 * $35) + (20,000 * $30)
1750000 + $600,000 = $2,350,000
D.)
Number of common stock shares *new market value after Issuance
New Market value after Issuance :
Market value of firm after offering / (outstanding + additional shares)
$117,500,000 / (2.5+1)million
$117,500,000 / 3,500,000
= $33.57
50,000 * $33.57 = $1678500
11)
Revenue from right sale :
Number of right shares * discount price
20,000 * $30 = $600,000
Value of proceed :
$1678500 - $600,000 = $1,078,500
Aria’s, Inc. has 1,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock and 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding. The company has not paid dividends in two years. In its third year, it paid the common shareholders a $2 per-share dividend, plus the amount owed to preferred shareholders. What is the total amount of dividends paid?
Answer:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.
Explanation:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. can be obtained by adding the dividends paid to common shareholders and preferred stockholders as follows:
Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Number of cumulative preferred shares * Par value of the share * Dividend rate = 1,000 * $100 * 5% = $5,000
Since Aria’s, Inc. has has not paid dividends in two years, the total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders is as follows:
Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders * 2 = $5,000 * 2 = $10,000
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Number of common shares * Common shares dividend per share = 10,000 * $2 = $20,000
Therefore, we have:
Total amount of dividends paid = Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders + Dividend paid to common stockholders = $10,000 + $20,000 = $30,000
Therefore, the total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.
The six sigma approach to quality control: Multiple Choice detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence. views quality control as a function of the marketing department. allows only 600 defective units per one thousand units produced. relies on a special team of experts to examine every unit of output at the end of the production process.
Answer:
detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Explanation:
Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.
This ultimately implies that, the six sigma approach to quality control detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.
Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;
1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.
2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.
Assume that Matt, Joe, and Teresa are the only citizens in a community. A proposed public good has a total cost of $1,000. All three citizens will share an equal portion of this cost in taxes. The benefit of the public good is $500 for Matt, $280 for Joe, and $260 for Teresa. In a majority vote, this proposal will most likely be
Answer: Defeated; two against and one in favor
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. Accepted; two in favor and one against
b. Defeated; two against and one in favor
c. Accepted; three in favor and none against
d. Defeated; none in favor and three against
A majority vote is a voting system whereby the person who wins is the person that has more than fifty percent of the vote.
In this question, we are told that Matt, Joe, and Teresa will share an equal portion of this cost in taxes and that the benefit of the public good is $500 for Matt, $280 for Joe, and $260 for Teresa.
In a majority vote, this proposal will most likely be defeated as there will be two against and one in favor. Joe and Teresa will be against it ane only Matt will be in support as he will receive more in benefit than the others.
Ashley is an attorney and also an excellent typist. She can type 120 words per minute, but she charges attorney fees at $100 per hour. Benjamin would like some typing work but can only type 60 words per minute. According to the law of comparative advantage, Ashley should hire Benjamin to do her typing if and only if his wage rate is less than:__________
Answer:
$50 / hr
Explanation:
The law of comparative advantage states that an entity should be able to produce its goods and services at a lower opportunity cost compared others in the same line of business so as to have an edge in the market.
Looking at the scenario ,if Ashley can type 120 words in a minute and also earn $100 / hr as an attorney , the opportunity cost of settling for the attorney work is the income earned through typing.
The law states that goods and services should be produced at a cost lower to the opportunity cost. To Ashley , the cost of hiring Benjamin should not be more than half of her hourly income as Benjamin production rate is half of hers.
The pharmaceutical industry argues that because new drugs will not be developed unless heavy development costs can be recouped in later sales, the current 20 years of protection provided by patents should be extended in the case of newly developed drugs. However, in other industries new-product development continues despite high development costs, a fact that indicates that the extension is unnecessary.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pharmaceutical industry’s argument against the challenge made above?
(A) No industries other than the pharmaceutical industry have asked for an extension of the 20-year limit on patent protection.
(B) Clinical trials of new drugs, which occur after the patent is granted and before the new drug can be marketed, often now take as long as 10 years to complete.
(C) There are several industries in which the ratio of research and development costs to revenues is higher than it is in the pharmaceutical industry.
(D) An existing patent for a drug does not legally prevent pharmaceutical companies from bringing to market alternative drugs, provided they are sufficiently dissimilar to the patented drug.
(E) Much recent industrial innovation has occurred in products—for example, in the computer and electronics industries—for which patent protection is often very ineffective.
Answer:
(B) Clinical trials of new drugs, which occur after the patent is granted and before the new drug can be marketed, often now take as long as 10 years to complete.
Explanation:
This option supports the pharmaceutical industry's claim because the research and development time of a new drug can be as long as half its patent life. Generally R&D on other industries takes a much shorter time, or at least not as much as half the patent's life.
Personally I would agree with the pharmaceutical industry if in exchange they would sell their drugs in the US at the same price as they are sold in Canada or Europe, or any other country in the world. The patent extension would benefit them and reduce the price of drugs by 80-90% in the US. I'm certain that the later would never happen, because the US is by far the largest cow milk for pharmaceutical companies because it is the only countries where the price of legal drugs is not regulated.
Clarion Township was approved for a grant from the federal government. The grant provides for reimbursement up to $200,000 for expenditures incurred to weatherize homes for low-income persons. Upon notification that the grant had been approved, but before weatherization activities have begun, Clarion Township should:
Answer:
Make no journal entry
Explanation:
A journal entry is defined as a record of a financial transaction by an entity. Economic and non economic transactions are recorded in the accounting journal to show debits and credits of the business.
In this scenario Clarion Township was approved for a grant from the federal government.
However upon notification of the approval no journal entry is to be recorded because weatherization has not started, so no expense has been incurred.
Journal entry is only made when cost is incurred or revenue is earned.

The Credit Alliance v. Arthur Andersen & Co. case established three tests that must be satisfied for holding auditors liable for negligence to third parties. All of the following are tests described except :________.
a) Knowledge by the accountant that the financial statements are to be used for a particular purpose.
b) The intention of the third party to rely on those statements.
c) Some action by the accountant linking hi or her to the third party than provides evidence of the accountant's understanding of intented reliance.
d) The identity of the third party must be directly known to the auditor.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The Credit Alliance v. Arthur Andersen & Co. is a case that questions if an accountant should be held liable to the third party on whom it is reliable to his detriment absent privity of contract.
The Court of Appeals of New York, on July 2, 1985, affirmed that an auditor should not be held liable if they fulfill the following three requirements.
The auditor should have knowledge that the financial statements will be used for a particular purpose.The intention of the third party to rely on those statements. Some action should have been there by the acccountant that links him or her to the third party which will clarify the auditor to understand why third party is relying in the statement.So, from the options stated in the question, one that is not included in this case is the fourth one. Thus the correct answer is option D.
Stock QWE plans to pay dividends of $3.00, $3.50, and $4.00 in each of the next three years. If the price of this stock will be $50.00 at the end of three years and the required rate of return by shareholders is 15%, then what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$40.76
Explanation:
Calculation of the value of the stock today
First step is find the value of stock for each year.
The Value of stock today will be:
First year =($3.00 / 1.15^¹)
First year=($3.00/1.15)
First year=$2.61
Second year= ($3.50 / 1.15^²)
Second year =($3.50/1.3225)
Second year =$2.65
Third year= ($4.00 / 1.15^3)
Third year=($4.00/1.520875)
Third year =$2.63
End of third year= ($50.00 / 1.15^3)
End of third year = ($50.00/1.520875)
End of third year =$32.88
Last step is to add the amount for each year up
V0= $2.61 + $2.65 + $2.63 + $32.88
V0= $40.76
Therefore the value of the stock today will be $40.76
Even Better Products has come out with a new and improved product. As a result, the firm projects an ROE of 20%, and it will maintain a plowback ratio of 0.30. Its projected earnings are $2 per share. Investors expect a 14% rate of return on the stock.

c.
What would be the P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities if the firm planned to reinvest only 20% of its earnings? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
P/E ratio
PVGO $
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The price and P/E ratio is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.30
= 6%
And, the current year dividend is ×
= $2 × (1 - 0.30)
= $1.4
So, the price is
= $1.4 ÷ (0.14 - 0.06)
= $17.50
Now the P/E ratio is
= $17.50 ÷ 2
= 8.75
b) For the present value of growth opportunities, the formula and the computation is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $17.50 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 3.21
c) The P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities is
But before that we need to find out the price which is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.20
= 4%
And, the current year dividend is
= $2 × (1 - 0.20)
= $1.6
So, the price is
= $1.6 ÷ (0.14 - 0.04)
= $16
Now the P/E ratio is
= $16 ÷ 2
= 8
And, the growth opportunities is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $16 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 1.72
Why are GNP figures generally lower than the GDP figures in
South Africa?
Answer:
GDP stands for gross domestic product and includes the market value of all the finished and legal goods and services produced within a country during one year. While the GNP refers to gross national product and it measures the total market value of all the finished and legal goods produced by the citizens (including individuals and businesses) of a country.
Generally in developing countries, like South Africa, there are a lot of foreign multinational corporations that operate there. Their operations are included in the GDP, but since they are American, European or Asian multinational corporations, their operations are included in the GNP of their respective countries, not South African GNP.
Seymore named his wife, Penelope, the beneficiary of a $100,000 insurance policy on his life. The policy provided that, upon his death, the proceeds would be paid at a rate of $4,000 per year plus interest over a 25-year period. Seymore died June 25 of last year, and in the current year Penelope received a payment of $5,200 from the insurance company. What amount should she include in her gross income for the current year
Answer:
$1,200
Explanation:
The reason is that out of $5,200, $4,000 is the amount that Penelope receives as capital asset proceeds as this $4,000 reduces the insurance policy worth by $4,000. Hence it is insurance policy proceeds and is exempt from tax. The remainder $1,200 is interest earnings per year which must be included in the gross income for current year as it is taxable income.

Answer:
Many small business owners decide to set up an LLC for the liability protection it provides. An LLC, or limited liability company, exists separately from its owners (known as members), and the owners are therefore not personally responsible for business debts.Most states don’t allow two different business entities to have the same name. So you can’t, for example, have “Joe’s Donuts, LLC” and “Joe’s Donuts, Inc.,” even if they’re located in different cities. Many states also restrict companies from using certain words in their names, such as “bank.” If the LLC name you’ve selected is available, but you aren’t going to be filing your LLC documents right away, you may want to reserve the name. Nearly every state allows you to reserve a name by filing a form and paying a name reservation fee. The length of the reservation period, filing fees, and renewal policies vary from state to state.Almost every state requires its LLCs to name a registered agent (also sometimes called a statutory agent). A registered agent is a person who agrees to receive lawsuits, subpoenas and other official documents on behalf of the LLC and to pass them along to the appropriate person at the LLC.An LLC operating agreement is the roadmap that describes how your LLC will be run. It specifies such things as the ownership interests and voting rights of the members, how profits and losses will be allocated, how meetings will be held, how the business will be governed, the rights of the members if one of them dies or leaves the business, and the way the company will be dissolved if it goes out of business.Each state has its own form and procedure for establishing an LLC. In general, you must file articles of organization that list.After the LLC’s formation documents are filed and approved, the state will issue a certificate or other document that confirms that your LLC formally exists. Once you’ve received the certificate, you can take care of business matters like obtaining a tax ID number and business licenses and setting up a business bank account. Explanation:If your LLC does business in more than one state, you may need to register to do business in other states. To do this, you’ll need to fill out and submit paperwork that’s similar to the paperwork you filed when you formed your LLC. You’ll also need a registered agent in each state where you are authorized to do business.

Millicents is selling old manufacturing equipment. The Plant Manager in charge of selling the equipment knows that the safety mechanism does not work. When a potential buyer asks Millicents' Plant Manager if there are any problems with the equipment, he assures the buyer that there are no problems. The buyer purchases the equipment based on the assurance that there is nothing wrong with it. The buyer may be able to sue Millicents for
Answer:
breach of express warranty
Explanation:
Since the plant manager expressly assured the buyer that the equipment had no problems and was working properly, if the equipment fails (as it did in the question), this is considered a breach of expressed warranty.
An express warranty is something specific that the seller (plant manager) tells the buyer about the product and how it should work.
