Answer:
d. in a recession the automatic stabilizing powers of our system of taxes and transfers could not work.
Explanation:
A balanced government expenditure is when government spending equals government revenue.
most times, the government doesn't have a balanced budget. it either has a surplus or a deficit.
When there is a recession, automatic stabilisers - progressive tax and transfer payment - may not be adequate to lift the economy out of recession. So, the government would have to spend more than it receives from taxes to revive the economy. in this case there would be a deficit

a friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $3000 every 6 months for 12 years with the first payment exactly 3 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.3 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today?
Answer:
$45,111.41
Explanation:
For calculation of value of the payments today first we need to find out the value at 3 years which is shown below:-
Value at 3 years = PMT × (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r
= $3,000 × (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0265 ^24))) ÷ 0.0265
= $52,776.45
Now, The value of the payment today = Value at 3 year ÷ (1 + r^n)
= $52,776.45 ÷ (1.0265^6)
= $45,111.41
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

If a firm has a levered beta of .9 and a debt to equity ratio of 1, what is the unlevered beta assuming a tax rate of 30%? (Round to the nearest hundredth)
Answer:
Unlevered beta = 0.53
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of systematic risk. Systematic risk is further divided into business and financial.
Business risk and financial risk. Business risk is that associated with the nature of the business operations that causes variability in the operating income of the business.
This is measured by the unlevered beta where the company has no debt finance.
Financial risk, on the other hand, is associated with use of debt finance . A company that uses a form of debt would face such risk . The systematic risk of such business would be measured using the levered beta.
The formula below shows the relationship:
βa = βe × Ve/ (Ve + Vd(1-T) )
βa -Unlevered beta
βe - Levered beta
Ve- Equity weight
Vd- Debt weight
T- Tax rate
DATA
βe- 0.9
βa- ?
Ve- 1
Vd- 1
T- 0.3
βa = 0.9 × 1/(1 + 1×(1-0.3)=0.529
βa - 0.53
Unlevered beta = 0.53
Two assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%:
Asset A: Expected return = 10% & SD = 20%
Asset B: Expected return = 15% & SD = 27%
An investor with a risk aversion of A = 3 would find that _________________ on a risk return basis.
a. only Asset A is acceptable
b. only Asset B is acceptable
c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable
d. both Asset A and Asset B are acceptable
Answer:
c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable
Explanation:
The computation of the risk return basis is shown below:-
Optimal Return of Asset A is
= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate
= 3 × 0.5 × 20%^2 + 5%
= 11%
As 10% is lesser than 11%
Now
Optimal Return of Asset B is
= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate
= 3 × 0.5 × 27%^2 + 5%
= 15.94%
As 15% is lesser than 15.94%
Therefore neither Asset could be acceptable

During transfer, de-recognize the cost of finished and transferred production from the Work In Process Account of the Mixing Department (Credit) and accumulate the cost in the Finished Goods Account (Debit).
When the units are finally sold, Cost of Goods Sold is recognized (Debit) and the Finished Goods Account is De-recognized (Credit).
how to solve this problem:If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of $1,000 and the lender will make a 30-year loan at 5-1/2%, or a 20-year loan at 4-1/2%, what is the largest loan (rounded to the nearest $100) this buyer can afford?
Answer:
30-year loan at 5-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $176,100
using a loan amortization table, you will pay $5.6786 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $5.6786 = 176.1 thousands
principal = $176,100
first payment:
interests = $176,100 x 0.055 x 1/12 = $807.13
repaid principal = $192.87
20-year loan at 4-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $158,000
using a loan amortization table, you will pay $6.3291 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $6.3291 = 158 thousands
principal = $158,000
first payment:
interests = $158,000 x 0.045 x 1/12 = $592.50
repaid principal = $407.50
1. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 30-year loan at 5.5% interest, is $176,100.
2. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 20-year loan at 4.5% interest, is $158,100.
Data and Calculations:
a) N (# of periods) 360 months (30 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 5.5%
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:

Sum of all periodic payments = $360,000 ($1,000 x 360)
Total Interest = $183,878.24
b) N (# of periods) = 240 months (20 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
PV = $158,065.44
Sum of all periodic payments = $240,000 ($1,000 x 240)
Total Interest = $81,934.56
Thus, to solve this problem, input $1,000 as the periodic payment on a financial calculator and then calculate the present value of $1,000 at the interest rate for the given period.

he Heinz and Kraft merger Group of answer choices may be allowed by the FAA may be allowed by the NEA may be allowed by the NRA may be allowed by the FTC
Answer:
Heinz and Kraft Merger:
may be allowed by the FTC.
Explanation:
The FTC is the Federal Trade Commission. It is the federal government agency charged with the responsibility of ensuring fair market practices, creating, and enforcing rules to guide businesses with respect to advertising, marketing, consumer credit, antitrust, and other fair practises.
The FTC was created by the FTC Act of 1914 and prevents antitrust agreements and develops rules for achieving a vibrant and fair marketplace, where consumers and businesses understand their rights and obligations in the marketplace.
The Heinz and Kraft merger was concluded successfully in 2015 enabling the two companies to become known as the Kraft Heinz Company and one of the largest food and beverage companies in the world.
Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstandingSuppose the most recent dividend was "$3.25" and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC = 15.08%
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
"The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years."
In order to calculate WACC we must first determine the YTM and market values of the 2 bonds.
bond 1:
market value = $70,000,000 x 0.97 = $67,900,000
YTM = {4,200,000 + [(70,000,000 - 67,900,000)/21]} / [(70,000,000 + 67,900,000)/2] = 4,300,000 / 68,950,000 = 6.24%
bond 2:
market value = $40,000,000 x 1.08 = $43,200,000
YTM = {2,600,000 + [(40,000,000 - 43,200,000)/6]} / [(40,000,000 + 43,200,000)/2] = 2,066,667 / 41,600,000 = 4.97%
weighted average cost of debt:
total value of debt = $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $111,100,000
weighted average cost = [($67,900,000/$111,100,000) x 6.24%] + [($43,200,000/$111,100,000) x 4.97%] = 3.814% + 1.933% = 5.75%
cost of equity (Re):
$68 = ($8 x 1.05) / (Re - 5%)
Re - 5% = $8.40 / $68 = 12.35%
Re = 17.35%
outstanding stock's market value = 7,000,000 x $68 = $476,000,000
WACC = [($476,000,000/$587,100,000) x 17.35%] + [($111,100,000/$587,100,000) x 5.75% x 0.79] = 14.07% + 1.01% = 15.08%

A) 25.00%.
B) 11.67%.
C) 40.00%.
D) 46.67%.
Answer:
Return n investment = 11.67%
Explanation:
Return on Investment is the proportion investment that is earned as operating income.
For the division, the return on investment would be the proportion of te investment in assets that is earned as net income.
This would be determined as follows;
Return n investment = (Net income÷ Operating assets) × 100
Return n investment = (175,000 ÷ 1,500,000) × 100= 11.67%
Return n investment = 11.67%

Answer:
PV= 19,042.84
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You need to have $32,000 in 14 years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 3 percent for the first 4 years, 3.6 percent for the next 3 years, and 4.3 percent for the final 7 years.
To calculate the initial deposit, we need to use the following formula for each interest rate:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Using ABC in a service company
Blanchette Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Kerry Company. Blanchette uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:
The Kerry job included $750 in plants; $1,300 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.
Requirements
What is the total cost of the Kerry job?
If Kerry paid $3,540 for the job, what is the operating income or loss?
If Blanchette desires an operating income of 30% of cost, how much should the company charge for the Kerry job?
Answer:
Blanchette Plant Service
ABC Costing Technique:
1. Total cost of the Kerry job:
Plants = $750
Direct labor = 1,300
Total cost = $2,050
2. Determination of operating income or loss (Kerry's job):
Service Revenue = $3,540
less cost of service 2,050
Operating income = $1,490
3. With desired operating income of 30% of cost:
Operating income = $615 ($2,050 x 30%)
The company can charge the Kerry job $2,665 ($2,050 + 615) or ($2,050 x 1.3)
Explanation:
Operating income or loss is the difference between revenue and costs of providing the services or goods. When the revenue exceeds the operating cost, the difference is an operating income. When the revenue is exceeded by the operating cost, the difference is an operating loss. While the former means that the organization has added value to its resources, the latter implies that the organization has lost some value to its resources, thereby reducing the equity of the owners in the business entity.
you are going to deposit $19000 today. You will earn an annual rateof 3.3 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 2.7 percent for 14 years. how much will you have in your account in 25 years?
Answer:
After 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.
Explanation:
First find the Future value of $19000 invested today at the end of 11 years.
PV = - $19,000
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 11
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 11 years will be $27,155.46.
Use the $27,155.46 to find future value at the end of the next 14 years at the rate of 2.70%
PV = - $27,155.46
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 14
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 14 years will be $42,782.05.
Thus, after 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.
A company has among its long-term debt, a bond due in 2015 that carries a face interest rate of 4.65 percent and pays interest annually. Recently this bond sold on the New York Bond Exchange at 103.39. Assume that the company uses the effective interest method to amortize its bonds. Answer the following true/false questions and then select the appropriate multiple choice response. _____ The current market rate of interest on this bond is less than 4.65 percent. _____ The current market rate of the bond affects the amount that the company pays in annual interest. _____ The current market rate of interest affects the amount of interest expense for the current year.
Answer:
A company with long-term debt
A. True/false questions:
1. __TRUE___ The current market rate of interest on this bond is less than 4.65 percent. __FALSE___ The current market rate of the bond affects the amount that the company pays in annual interest. _FALSE____ The current market rate of interest affects the amount of interest expense for the current year.
B. The appropriate multiple choice response:
2. The current market rate of interest on this bond is less than 4.65 percent.
Explanation:
Since the bond is being sold on the New York Bond Exchange at 103.39, it implies that it is selling at a premium. Therefore, the effective interest rate will be less than the face interest rate of 4.65%. This is the reason for the bond to be selling at a premium. That is, it is selling above the face value of 100 per bond. Conversely, when a bond sells at a discount, say 98 per bond, the effective interest rate will be higher than the face interest rate. The face interest rate is the stated interest rate while the effective interest rate is the market rate.

Clara is suing David because of a property dispute. Clara and David are from different states, so it is not readily clear which state has jurisdiction over this case. Which of the following is true?
Jurisdiction can fall in whichever state has subject matter or personal jurisdiction, likely depending on which state Clara feels will give her a more favorable outcome for her case.
Jurisdiction depends solely on where the property - the focus of the dispute - is located. Wrong answer
Jurisdiction falls in Clara's state of residence, since she is the plaintiff.
Jurisdiction falls in David's state of residence, since he is the one being summoned to court.

Several courts could potentially have jurisdiction. It is most likely that Clara will forum shop for the jurisdiction that would most likely operate in her favor.
Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000. Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation. In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.
Prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale. Jacob’s address is 925 Arapahoe Street, Boulder, CO 80304.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that :
Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000.
Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation, and
In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.
The objective is to prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.
From the tax research file:
The gain on the sale of the 2,000 shares is calculated by the difference from the sales price and the shares sold.
I.e $24000 - $18000 = $6000
The tax rate on the $2000 = Purchase price of the shares/ (Original shares bought + new shares)
The tax rate on the 2000 shares = $24000/($10000+$2000)
The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $24000/$12000
The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $2 / shares
The Gain in the share = selling price - tax basis in the 2,000 new shares
The Gain in the share = $18000 - $4000
The Gain in the share = $14000
∴
This is the long capital gain i.e $14000
The memo in summary goes thus:
The amount of $24000 is being paid by you for 10000 shares of stock in Grebe Corporation in which a stock dividend of 2000 was received. However, the share is sold for $18000, the tax basis is deduced by dividing $24000 purchasing price by $12000(original price + new shares price) which resulted into a $2/ shares. The $14,000 gain on the sale is a long-term capital gain. The gain on the sale is long term because the original Grebe stock has been held for more than one year.
A bond has a standard deviation of 10.7 percent and an average rate of return of 6.4 percent. What is the coefficient of variation (CoV)
Answer:
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.
CoV = SD / r
Where,
SD is the standard deviationr is the expected returnCoV = 0.107 / 0.064
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
14.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the company WACC is shown below:
Particulars After tax Market value Weights WACC
(cost % × weights)
Common stock 16.75% $27,280,000 0.79 13.25%
(440,000 shares × $62)
Preferred stock 3.66% $1,804,000 0.05 0.19%
(22,000 shares × $82)
Debt 3.95% $5,400,000 0.16 0.62%
(5,000 shares × $1,000 × 108%)
Total $34,484,000 1
WACC 14.06%
Working note
Cost of common equity is
= Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 5.2% + 1.05 × 11%
= 5.2% + 11.55%
= 16.75%
Cost of preferred stock is
= Annual dividend ÷ Market price per share
= 0.03 ÷ $82
= 3.65%
And, the cost of debt is calculated by using the RATE formula i.e
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)
= RATE(30 × 2, $1,000 × 7.2% ÷ 2, -$1,080, $1,000)
After calculated this, the rate of interest should be multiplied by 2 and then applied the tax rate of (1 - 0.40)
So, the rate is 3.95%
