Answer:
$202,216.54 million
Explanation:
FCF₁ = $7,360 million
FCF₂ = $8,846.72 million
FCF₃ = $10,633.76 million
FCF₄ = $10,910.24 million and will continue to grow at 2.46%
we must first determine the terminal value at year 3:
terminal value = $10,910.24 million / (7.38% - 2.46%) = $221,752.85 million
firm's current total value = $7,360 million / 1.0738 + $8,846.72 million / 1.0738² + $10,633.76 million / 1.0738³ + $221,752.85 / 1.0738³ = $6,854.16 + $7,672.48 + $8,588.49 + $179,101.41 = $202,216.54
Eric deposits 100 into a savings account at time 0, which pays interest at a nominal rate of i, compounded semiannually. Mike deposits 200 into a different savings account at time 0, which pays simple interest at an annual rate of i. Eric and Mike earn the same amount of interest during the last six months of the 8th year. Calculate i.
Answer:
9.46%
Explanation:
Eric gets compounded interest = principal x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Mike gets simple interest = principal x [1 + (interest rate x n)]
during the first 7.5 years, Eric will get: 100 x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵, in order to simplify the calculations we can call this Principal₇.₅
during the last 6 months Eric will earn: [Principal₇.₅ x (1 + 0.5i)] - Principal₇.₅ *WE ONLY WANT TO CALCULATE THE INTEREST, NOT THE PRINCIPAL
Principal₇.₅ + Principal₇.₅ (0.5i) - Principal₇.₅ = Principal₇.₅ (0.5i)
now we replace Principal₇.₅ (0.5i):
100 x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ x 0.5i = 50i x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵
since Mike earns simple interest, during the last 6 months he will earn:
200 x 0.5i = 100i
now we equal both equations:
50i x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 100i
(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 100i / 50i = 2
(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 2
¹⁵√(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = ¹⁵√2
1 + 0.5i = 1.04729
0.5i = 1.04729 - 1 = 0.04729
i = 0.04729 / 0.5 = 0.09458 = 9.46%
A bond that pays interest annually yielded 6.01 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 3 percent. Given that information, the actual real rate of return on this bond for last year was _____percent.
Answer:
2.3%
Explanation:
The computation of the actual real rate of return is shown below:-
Actual real rate of return on this bond for last year = ((1 + Nominal rate of interest ) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate of return)) - 1
= ((1 + 0.0601) ÷ (1 + 0.03)) - 1
= 1.0601 ÷ 1.03 - 1
= 1.023 - 1
= 0.023
or
= 2.3%
Therefore for computing the actual rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
If investors receive a 6% interest rate on their bank deposits, what real interest rate will they earn if the inflation rate over the year is:
Question
The complete question is given as follows:
if investors receive a 6% interest rate on their bank deposits, what real interest rate will they earn if the inflation rate over the year is:
a) 3%
b) 6%
Answer:
a) Real rate = 2.91%
b) Real rate = 0%
Explanation:
Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.
Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.
Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
R = (1+N)/(1+F) - 1=
N- Nominal interest rate
R- Real interest rate
F- Inflation rate
a) Where inflation rate is 3%
Real rate = (1.06/1.03 - 1)× 100 = 2.91%
b) Where inflation rate is 6%
Real rate = (1.06/1.06 - 1)× 100 = 0%
a) Real rate = 2.91%
b) Real rate = 0%

a. Calculate Sammy’s share of Zebra’s nonseparately computed income or loss.
b. Calculate Sammy’s share of any Zebra long-term capital gain.
Answer:
a. $70,000
b. $6,000
Explanation:
Non separately income = Operating income +Depreciation recapture income -COGS -ADM expense -depreciation
= $100,000 + $25,000 - $40,000 - $5,000 - $10,000
= $70,000
a. Sammy share of Zebra’s non-separately computed income or loss
= $70,000 * 0.40
= $28,000
b. Sammy share in Long term capital gain
= $15,000 * 0.40
= $6,000
Product X used the following quantity of activity drivers to produce 100 units of final product: 25 setups, 40 material moves and 75 machine hours What is the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit for product X based on an ABC system? g
Answer:
$137.50 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit is shown below:
Machine setups 15000 ÷ 100 × 25 = $3750
Material moves 22500 ÷ 225 × 40 = $4000
M/c. Operations 14000 ÷ 175 × 75 = $6000
Total Cost for 100 units $13,750
And since there is 100 units
So, the total indirect manufcturing cost per unit is
= $13,750 ÷100 units
= $137.50
Johnson's Plumbing's fixed costs are $700,000 and the unit contribution margin is $17. What amount of units must be sold in order to realize an operating income of $100,000
Answer:
Target profit in units = 47058.82 rounded off to 47059 units
Explanation:
The break even units of sales are the number of units that must be sold in order for the company to have enough total revenue to cover its total costs. It is a point in the number of units where there is no profit or no loss.
We can use the break even analysis and formulas to calculate the number of units required to earn a certain target profit. Thus, we will just need to add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units formula. The formula to calculate the target profit in units is,
Target profit in units = (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit
Target profit in units = (700000 + 100000) / 17
Target profit in units = 47058.82 rounded off to 47059 units
Stan Slickum has a used car that can be bought for $8 comma 500 cash or for a $1 comma 000 down payment and $770 per month for 12 months. What is the effective annual interest rate on the monthly payment plan?
Answer:
48.8%
Explanation:
We can use the rate formula to determine the monthly rate as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of monthly payments which is 12
pmt is the amount of monthly payment which is $770
pv is the cash price of the minus downpayment i.e $8500-$1000=$7500
fv is the balance after all payments have been made i.e $0
=rate(12,770,-7500,0)=3.37%
effective monthly rate=(1+3.37% )^12-1=48.8%
You have been given this probability distribution for the holding-period return for KMP stock: Stock of the Economy Probability HPR Boom 0.30 18 % Normal growth 0.50 12 % Recession 0.20 – 5 % What is the expected holding-period return for KMP stock?
Answer: 12.4%
Explanation:
The Expected return for a stock is the summation of all the returns given the probability of all market conditions.
Expected Return = ∑(Probability of return * return)
= (0.30 * 18%) + (0.50 * 12%) + (0.20 * 5%)
= 0.054 + 0.06 + 0.01
= 0.124
= 12.4%

A stock has an expected return of 12.15 percent, its beta is 1.31, and the expected return on the market is 10.2 percent. What must the risk-free rate be
Answer:
Rf=risk-free rate=3.91%
Explanation:
E(R) = Rf + ß( Rmarket - Rf )
E(R)= Expected return =12.15%=0.1215
Rf= Risk free rate = ?
ß = Beta = 1.31
Rmarket = Expected return of market = 10.2 %= 0.102
Changing to fraction before solving
0.1215= Rf + 1.31(0.102- rf)
0.1215= Rf +0.13362-1.31Rf
0.13362-0.1215= -Rf+1.3Rf
0.01212=0.31Rf
Rf= 0.01212/0.31= 0.03909 x 100%= 3.909% =3.91%
or Solving directly
12.15= Rf +1.31(10.2-Rf)
12.15= Rf +13.362 -1.31Rf
13.362 -12.15=-Rf + 1.31Rf
1.212= 0.31Rf
Rf =3.909% round off to 3.91%
Using the lower of cost or market, what should the total inventory value be for the following items: Item Quantity Unit Cost Price Unit Market Price Total Cost Price Total Market Price Lower of Cost or Market A 201 $7 $11 $1,407 $2,211 $ B 98 17 15 1,666 1,470 C 71 23 26 1,633 1,846 $
Answer:
$4,706
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that the inventory should be valued at lower of cost or market value which is shown below:
Tota cost price for all markets is
= Market A + Market B + market C
= $1,407 + $1,666 + $1,633
= $4,706
And, the total market price for all markets is
= Market A + Market B + market C
= $2,211 + $1,470 + $1,846
= $5,527
So based on the above calculation, the cost price should be lower off and the same is to be considered

Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 400 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 400 units, its average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit.
Required:
a. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level?
b. What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Answer:
1. This firm have the profit maximizing output level of 1400 units because a firm in any industry will maximize profit where MR=MC. Here MR is equal to MC at the output level of 1400. So profit maximizing level of output is 1400 units.
2. Economic profit = Total revenue - total cost.
Where, Total revenue = Quantity * price
= 1400 * 7
= $9,800
Total variable cost = AVC * quantity
= 6.50 *1400
= $9,100
Total fixed cost = AFC * quantity
= 0.80 * 1400
= $1,120
Economic profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost - Total fixed cost
Economic profit = $9,800 - $9,100 - $1,120
Economic profit = -$420
. The firm is having economic loss equal to 420.
Conclusion: This firm is facing economic loss in its output.
Cobe Company has already manufactured 23,000 units of Product A at a cost of $25 per unit. The 23,000 units can be sold at this stage for $420.000. Alternatively, the units can be further processed at a $280.000 total additional cost and be converted into 6.000 units of Product B and 11,900 units of Product C. Per unit selling price for Product B is $106 and for Product C is $52.
Required:
Prepare an analysis that shows whether the 23,000 units of Product A should be processed further or not.
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue processing the units.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Units= 23,000
Selling price= $420,000
Continue processing:
Product B= 6,000 units sold for $106 each
Product C= 11,900 units sold for $52 each
Total cost= $280,000
We need to calculate the effect on the income of both options and choose the most profitable one. We will not take into account the first costs of Product A because they are irrelevant.
Option 1:
Effect on income= $420,000
Option 2:
Effect on income= (6,000*106) + (11,900*52) - 280,000
Effect on income= $974,800
It is more profitable to continue processing the units.

a. Using the starting point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for going from a price of $160 per unit to a price of $140 per unit
Answer:
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Explanation:
We can see the graph and easily calculate the Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
The starting point formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is given as under:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
Here
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
By putting value in the above equation, we have:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
Price Elasticity of Demand = -4
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Calculation of the price elasticity of demand:Since in the graph it is mentioned that Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
So we know that
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
where
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
Now
Price Elasticity of Demand
= (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
= -4

Would you expect a brick-and-mortar retailer or an online retailer to have a higher asset turnover? Why or why not? Which supply chain drivers impact asset turnover?
Answer:
An online retailer would on a balance of probability have a higher asset turnover than a brick-and-mortar retailer.
Explanation:
The reason is not farfetched. If done properly, an online retailer is most likely to succeed at reaching more customers and penetrating more markets.
The total population of active internet users is currently estimated at 4.5 Billion. For truly global products or retail outlets such as Amazon and Alibaba, this figure is staggering. It is impossible to compare a truly successful online retailer to a brick-and-mortar retailer whose market, at its best, covers only those within its locality.
So using online retail store such as Amazon as an example, they might have significant investment in online platforms, dedicated servers and warehouses, their turnover which as at 2019 stood at 4.5x is relatively strong.
The supply chain drivers which impact asset turnover are inventory, accounts receivables and facilities.

Major Co. reported 2016 income of $303,000 from continuing operations before income taxes and a before-tax loss on discontinued operations of $75,000. All income is subject to a 36% tax rate. In the 2016 income statement, Major Co. would show the following line-item amounts for income tax expense and net income: Multiple Choice $109,080 and $228,000. $82,080 and $378,000. $109,080 and $145,920. $82,080 and $193,920.
Answer: $109,080; $145,920
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the following can be gotten:
The amount for income tax expenses will be:
= 36% of $303,000
= 36/100 × $303,000
= 0.36 × $303,000
= $109,080
The net income will be:
Reported income = $303,000
Less income tax = $109,080
Less loss on discounted operation = $48,000
Net income = $145,920
Loss on discounted operation:
= $75,000 × (1 - 36%)
= $75,000 × (1 - 0.36)
= $75,000 × 0.64
= $48,000

An estimated demand curve does not necessarily match actual data perfectly because A. it is not possible to accurately calculate the coefficients of the curve. B. demand is unpredictable. C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve. D. the random error term has too large of a range.
Answer:
C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve.
Explanation:
a lot of unforeseen circumstances might occur. these occurrences would not be measured in the estimated demand curve. this would lead to the estimated demand curve not matching the actual demand curve.
for example, the factors affecting the demand for bread are ; price, income, price of a substitutes. these are included in estimating the demand curve for bread. Assume that a study comes out stating that bread is harmful to the health.this reduces the demand for bread. this study wasn't anticipated and included in estimating the demand curve. as a result, the actual data would differ from the estimated data
On January 1, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
interest expense per coupon payment (every 6 months) = $153,000
Explanation:
In this case, since the bonds were sold at par, the interest expense and the actual cash payments are the same (no premium or discount would be amortized). To calculate the interest payment we just multiply the bonds' face value x annual interest rate x 1/2 (semiannual coupons) = $3,400,000 x 9% x 1/2 = $153,000
orrugated Company currently produces cardboard boxes in an automated process. Expected production per month is 40,000 units. The required direct materials cost $0.30 per unit. Manufacturing fixed overhead costs are $24,000 per month. Manufacturing overhead is allocated based on units of production. ___________ is the flexible budget for 40,000 and 20,000 units, respectively.
Answer:
$36,000 and $30,000
Explanation:
Corrugated company deals in the production of cardboard boxes
The expected production for each month is 40,000 units
The direct material cost is $0.30 per unit
The manufacturing fixed overhead costs are $24,000 for each month
Therefore, the flexible budget for the production of 40,000 units and 20,000 units can be calculated as follows
Flexible budget for 40,000 units
= 0.30×40,000+24,000
= 12,000+24,000
= $36,000
Flexible budget for 20,000 units
= 0.30×20,000+24,000
= 6,000+24,000
= $30,000
Hence the flexible budget for 40,000 units and 20,000 units are $36,000 and $30,000 respectively
Jim Keys holds a $200,000 portfolio consisting of the following stocks:_______.
Stock Investment Beta
Alpha $50,000 0.50
Beta $50,000 0.80
Gamma $50,000 1.00
Delta $50,000 1.30
What is the portfolio's beta?
Answer:
0.9
Explanation:
For the computation of portfolio beta first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1
Total Portfolio value = Value of Alpha + Value of Beta + Value of Gamma + Value of Delta
= $50,000 + $50,000 + $50,000 + $50,000
= $200,000
Step 2
Weight of Alpha = Value of Alpha ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 3
Weight of Beta = Value of Beta ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 4
Weight of Gamma = Value of Gamma ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 5
Weight of Delta = Value of Delta ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
and finally
Beta of Portfolio = Weight of Alpha × Beta of Alpha + Weight of Beta × Beta of Beta + Weight of Gamma × Beta of Gamma + Weight of Delta × Beta of Delta
= 0.5 × 0.25 + 0.8 × 0.25 + 1 × 0.25 + 1.3 × 0.25
= 0.9
