You would expect a bond of the U.S. government to pay higher interestrate as compared to a bond of an Eastern European government.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Bond interest is determined in part by the riskiness of the Issuer of the bond. The United States is one of the most trust-worthy countries in the world and this is reflected by the US T-bills being considered a risk-free asset the world over.
The less risky an asset is, the less interest it has to pay as it does not have to compensate its investors for more added risk. A United States Bond is definitely safer than an Eastern European Government bond who are not as developed as the Western Europeans speaking in an unbiased manner. Therefore the US Bond will pay a lower interest relative to a bond of an Eastern European government.
The risk-free interest rate is 3.7% per year, the market risk premium is 5.6% per year, and a stock’s beta is 0.84. What is the stock’s annual expected return? Question 16 options: A) 9.8% B) 8.4% C) 9.1% D) 9.5% E) 8.7%
Answer:
The answer is B. 8.4%
Explanation:
To solve this, we will use Capital Asset Pricing Model(CAPM)
Stock’s annual expected return=
Rf + beta(Rm-Rf)
Rf is the risk free rate
Risk premium is (Rm-Rf) - the difference between market interest rate and the risk free rate.
Rf is 3.7%
Risk premium is 5.6%
Beta is 0.84
3.7% + 0.84(5.6%)
3.7% + 4.7%
= 8.4%
If the minority price for a single share of stock of a company is $20, if there are 500 thousand shares of stock, and a person offers to buy the entire company for $14.5 million, what is the controlling interest premium being offered
Answer:
$4,500,000
Explanation:
current market price per stock $20
total stocks outstanding 500,000
corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000
investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000
controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000
new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29
The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.

What is unique about Costco’s channel management process? What components can other retailers borrow or implement?
Answer:
Its quick purchase and distribution of products and impeccable marketing.
Other retailers could implement or borrow are their branding strategies and eliminate costly and expensive management steps.
Explanation:
One of the main elements of Costo's success is its efficient and extremely competitive marketing strategy. In addition to this, product management strategies were also extremely effective in this company. This is because Costo manages the purchase and distribution of its products very quickly, preventing their shortages. This is done through purchases made in direct contact with suppliers, who send the products directly to the company's warehouses, which causes numerous steps in the supply process (made by producers and intermediaries) to be eliminated, thus ensuring speed and less economic expense.

Incorrect issuance of new equities diminishes the company's current ownership.Option C: Debenture bonds attached leverage on the assets guaranteed. Incorrect debentures represent short term loans. Option D: Bonds focuses on providing funding for equities. Incorrect since debt funding is provided by Bonds.So that alternative A would be the appropriate choice.
Bonds are like IOUS with a promise to repay the amount borrowed, with interest, on a certain date. Thus, option A is correct.
Bonds appear to be a type of financial instrument where the lender is required to provide periodical payments of compensation as well as to reimburse the shareholder for their remaining amount at the investor's intellectual discretion.
An Iou-like financial obligation is a bond. By purchasing corporate bonds, investors are making a loan to the corporation issuing the connection. Bonds usually provide investors with a fixed rate of interest that is paid over a specified period of time at periodic times. In general, bonds are a less risky investment. Therefore, option A is correct.

You have just purchased a new warehouse. To finance the purchase, you’ve arranged for a 35-year mortgage loan for 85 percent of the $3,350,000 purchase price. The monthly payment on this loan will be $16,800. What is the APR on this loan? What is the EAR on this loan?
Answer:
APR = 2.43%
EAR = 2.46%
Explanation:
(a) What is the APR on this loan?
Annual percentage rate (APR) is the yearly interest rate that a borrower pays or an investor earns. It is expressed in percentage term without taking compounding into consideration.
This can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as follows:
APR = {[(Fees + Interest amount) / Principal / n] * 365} * 100 ……………… (1)
Where;
APR = ?
Fees = 0
Interest amount = Interest rate * Purchase price = 85% * $3,350,000 = $2,847,500
Principal = Purchase price = $3,350,000
n = Number of days in the mortgage term = 365 days * 35 years = 12,775 days
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
APR = {[(0 + 2,847,500) / 3,350,000 / 12,775] * 365} * 100
APR = 2.43%
(b) What is the EAR on this loan?
The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to the interest rate earned by an investor in a year after the compounding has been adjusted for over a specified period.
This can be calculated using the Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula as follows:
EAR = (1 + i/n)^n – 1 ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
i = Stated annual interest rate = APR = 2.43%, or 0.0243
n = Number of compounding periods = 12
EAR = (1 + 0.0243/12)^12 – 1
EAR = 0.0246, or 2.46%

You have just taken a job at a manufacturing company and have discovered that they use absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions. You would like to introduce them to variable costing and explain to them why this costing method can be used and why it is helpful.
Compose a short email - 2 to 3 short paragraphs because the president it too busy to read anything longer than that - proposing a variable costing system and what that might mean for reports, analysis and comparisons. You could give a brief example if you feel that is necessary for your explanation to the president.
Answer and Explanation:
Respected Sir,
Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions
As per your requirement please find the explanation below:
Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.
Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.
Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.
The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A company has the following budget information: Sales: $118,800; COGS: $48,500; Depreciation expense: $1,500; Interest expense: $250; Other expenses: $41,880. If the company budgets 40% for income tax expense, the budgeted net income will be $
Answer:
16,002
Explanation:
A company has the following budget information
Sales = $118,000
COGS= $48,500
Depreciation expense= $1,500
Interest expense= $250
Other expense= $41,880
The company budgets 40% for income tax expense
= 40/100
= 0.4
The first step is to calculate the total expense incurred in the company
Total expense= COGS+depreciation expense+Interest expense+Other expenses
= $48,500+$1,500+$250+$41,880
= $92,130
The next step is to calculate the pre-tax income
Pre-tax income= Sales-total expenses
= $118,800-$92,130
= $26,670
The next step is to calculate the income tax expense
Income tax expense= $26,670×0.4
= $10,668
Therefore, the budgeted net income can be calculated as follows
Budgeted net income= Pre-tax income-income tax expense
= 26,670-10,668
= 16,002
Hence the budgeted net income is 16,002
The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler
Answer:
$308,500.85
Explanation:
$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40
new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)
current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46
real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85
price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85

If the government guarantees sugar farmers a price of $1 per pound when the market equilibrium price is actually $0.50 per pound, which of the following will occur?
a) A shortage of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
b) A shortage of sugar will occur, decreasing inefficiency.
c) A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
d) A surplus of sugar will occur,decreasing inefficiency.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
the price per pound of sugar is above equilibrium price, as a result the supply of sugar would increase while the demand for sugar would decrease. this would lead to a surplus. because at $1, supply would exceed demand, there would be an increase in inefficiency
Answer:
A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
Explanation:
When the price of sugar is set above the market equilibrium price, the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded by consumers. Therefore, a surplus of sugar occurs that increases the level of inefficiency.

Widget Co has a market capitalization of $ 100M. It does a 5-for-1 stock split. It then does a 1- for-25 reverse stock split. Finally, it does a 35-for-1 stock split. Nothing else changes. What’s the new market cap?
Answer: $100M
Explanation:
This is a bit of a trick question but when you come into contact with such questions remember this, stock splits do not change the total Market Capitalization. Market Cap is the total cash value of the company's stock in the market. A split would increase the number of shares outstanding but the market cap will remain the same because the shares will decrease in value.
Determine the amount of money that must be invested now (time 0) at 10% nominal interest, compounded monthly, to provide an annuity of $7 comma 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now. The interest rate remains constant over this entire period of time.
Answer:
the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
Explanation:
Given that:
Nominal interest = 10%
Annuity = 7000
n = 8 years
The Effective interest rate is calculated by using the formula:
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100 \times n})^n-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{10}{100 \times 8})^8-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = 0.1045
Effective interest rate = 10.45 %
Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now is the present value with the annuity of $7, 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now.
[tex]PV = 7000(\dfrac{(1+ 0.1045)^{12}-1}{0.1045(1 + 0.1045)^{12}})( \dfrac{1}{(1+ 0.1045)^8})[/tex]
PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371
PV = $21068.87
Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
It is better to evaluate economic decisions at the marginal, where the decision has to be made as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost, if not equal to its marginal cost.
A. True
B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Output is always maximised where Marginal Benefit is above Marginal Cost. Ideally speaking, Marginal Benefits should be equal to Marginal Costs but Marginal Benefits being greater than cost is still a good thing because it means that there is still room for expansion until such a point as the MB = MC.

Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08
Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%
( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant 0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)
Explanation:
Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )
Rf =Risk free return = 3.6
Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%
A) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.89, 7.83%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.52 12.59%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.25 11.27%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced
c) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.27 14.50%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced
d) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.80 10.08%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) = 10.08%---- Correctly priced
