Think about your decision to buy the textbook for this course. You paid $250 for the book, but you would have been willing to pay $500 to use the book for the semester. Suppose that at the end of the semester you could keep your textbook or sell it back to the bookstore. Once you have completed the course, the book is worth only $90 to you. The bookstore will pay you 50% of the original $250.
Required:
How much total value have you gained?
Answer:
$285
Explanation:
the total value is the total surplus i gained from this transaction
total surplus is the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
$500 - $250 = $250
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
(0.5 x $250) - $90 = $35
total surplus = $250 + $35 = $285

Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Fixed Factory Overhead per unit $7.50
How much would Park Avenue Corporation save by having the vendor make the part, instead of making it themselves?
Answer:
If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $13.04
The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually.
Production:
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
We weren't provided with information regarding the fixed costs. I will assume that non of the fixed overhead costs are avoidable, therefore, they are irrelevant to the decision making process.
Buy:
Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64
Production:
Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24
If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6
In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.
Calculation of the value of part:Since
Purchase price= $13.04
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Now
For Buy:
Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64
For Production:
Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24
So, we can say that In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 45% common equity and 55% debt to fund its $10 billion in operating assets. Furthermore, Kahn Inc. has a WACC of 12%, a before-tax cost of debt of 10%, and a tax rate of 25%. The company's retained earnings are adequate to provide the common equity portion of its capital budget. Its expected dividend next year (D1) is $3, and the current stock price is $34.
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
Answer:
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
current stock price = expected dividend / (required rate of return - growth rate)
$34 = $3 / (12% - g)
12% - g = $3 / $34 = 8.82%
growth rate = 12% - 8.82% = 3.18%
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
WACC = (equity x Re) + [debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)]
12% = (45% x Re) + (55% x 10% x 0.75) = 0.45Re + 4.125%
0.45Re = 12% - 4.125% = 7.875%
Re = 7.875% / .45 = 17.5%
growth rate = (net income / equity) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = ($1.6 billion / $4.5 billion) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = 0.3556 x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
1 - dividend payout ratio = 3.18 / 0.3556 = 0.089
dividend payout ratio = 1 - 0.089 = 0.911
this means that the company distribute 91.1% of its net income to its stockholders
In order to achieve the target for the nominal interest rate established by the monetary policy rule, the central bank adjusts:
Answer: C. the money supply.
Explanation:
The Money Supply in an economy can be adjusted to influence interest rates due to the indirect relationship that exists between them. This means that when there is a high money supply, interest rates are lower and vice versa.
The Central Bank controls how much money is in the economy by using Open Market operations that buy or sell government securities as well as reserve requirements on banks.
If the expected sales volume for the current period is 7,000 units, the desired ending inventory is 400 units, and the beginning inventory is 400 units, the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period, is
Answer:
7,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period
Using this formula
Number of units =Sales volume for the current period +Desired ending inventory -Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Number of units=7,000 units +400 units-400 units
Number of units=7,000 units
Therefore the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period is 7,000 units
On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.
At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:
Revenues 65,550 Machine 13,590 Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250 Other assets 27,710 Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300 Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000
Required:
Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.
Answer:
Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520
Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200
Explanation:
To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;
Revenue $65,550
Expenses $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)
Net Income $26,300
Noncontrolling percentage = 40%
NonControlling Income = $10,520
Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]
= 3,200
The claim is that the proportion of peas with yellow pods is equal to 0.25 (or 25%). The sample statistics from one experiment include 540 peas with 159 of them having
yellow pods. Find the value of the test statistic.
The value of the test statistic is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
2.361
Explanation:
Calculation to Find the value of the test statistic
Based on the given information let our:
p=0.25
x = 159
n = 540
Since our p is 0.25 the first step is to find q using this formula
q = 1 - p
Let plug in the formula
q = 1-0.25
q= 0.75
Second step is to find the psample using this formula
psample= x/n
Let plug in the formula
psample= 159/540
psample = 0.294
Last step is to find the value of the test statistic
Using this formula
z= (psample - p) / √(pq/n)
Let plug in the formula
z = (0.294 - 0.25) / √(0.25×0.75/540)
z=0.044/√(0.1875/540)
z=0.044/√(0.000347222222)
z=0.044/0.01863389
z=2.361
Therefore the value of the test statistic will be 2.361

Management expects December’s results to be repeated in January, February, and March of 2018 without any changes in strategy. Management, however, has an alternative plan. It believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month for the next three months (beginning with January) if the item's selling price is reduced to $127 per unit and advertising expenses are increased by 15% and remain at that level for all three months. The cost of its product will remain at $60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same.

Since stock prices will shift in response to unpredictable future news, these prices will tend to follow what mathematicians call _________________.
Answer:
a random walk with a trend
Explanation:
This model assumes that in each period the stock prices would take a random step away from what was its previous value.
Stock prices cannot be predicted therefore they are a random walk. Future prices cannot be predicted by what used to be the prices in the past. Stock prices change in response to unpredictable future news, hence they follow a random walk with a trend.

Steve Madison needs $353,100 in 10 years.How much must he invest at the end of each year, at 9% interest, to meet his needs?
Answer:
$23,241.07
Explanation:
To determine the annual annuity, this formula would be used
PV = FV / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r = (1.09^10 - 1 ) / 0.09 = 15.192930
$353,100 / 15.192930 = $23,241.07
You own two different energy drink brands with similar elasticities: "Blue Cow" and "600 minute energy." If you reduce the price on "Blue Cow", you can only increase your total sales if
Answer: b. Prices for “600 minute energy” are reduced
Explanation:
The drinks have similar elasticities so they are substitutes. This means that reducing the price of one will cause people to demand less of the other drink. By reducing the price of "Blue Cow", there will be less demand for "600 minute energy".
To increase total sales therefore, the effects of the decrease in the price of Blue Cow must be counteracted. To do so, the price of 600 minute energy must be reduced as well. This way people will demand the two drinks more. This reduction will draw in people buying other drinks apart from these 2 thereby increasing total sales.

What is the difference in the present worth between an investment of $10,000 per year for 50 years and an investment of $10,000 per year forever at an interest rate of 10% per year
Answer:
Difference in Present Value = $ 851.86
Explanation:
The fist scheme is an annuity. A series of fixed cash flow occurring annually for certain period of time. We can determine the present value of the annuity using the formula below:
PV = A × (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r
10,000 × (1- 1.10^(-50))/0.1 =99,148.14
The second scheme is a perpetuity . A series of fixed cash inflow occurring for the unforeseeable future
PV = A × 1/r

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 1/4. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense.
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 1/4, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
A.$269,675
B.$305,325
C.$10,787
Explanation:
Requirement A Cash proceeds
Cash proceeds can find out by multiplying par value with the selling price
Cash proceeds = Par Value x Selling price
Cash proceeds = $230,000 x 117.25%
Cash proceeds = $269,675
Requirement B Interest Expense
Bond interest expense =Total repayment -Amount borrowed(REQ.A)
Bond interest expense = $575,000(w) - $269,675
Bond interest expense = $305,325
Workings
Semi-annual interest expense = $230,000 x 10% x 6/12
Semi-annual interest expense = $11,500
Total payment would be 30 for 15 years
Total payment = $11,500 x 30
Total payment = $345,000
Total repayment = Par value + $345,000
Total repayment = $230,000 + $345,000
Total repayment = $575,000
Requirement C Bond interest expense on the first interest payment date
Bond interest Expense = $269,675(REQ.A) x 8% x 6/12
Bond interest Expense = $10,787
A company’s perpetual preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $2.10 per share. The preferred stock’s market value is $36.04 per share and the company’s tax rate is 30%. If the flotation costs for preferred stock are 6%, what is the company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing? Question 4 options: 1) 5.87% 2) 7.25% 3) 6.54% 4) 6.20% 5) 5.41%
Answer:
6.20%
Explanation:
The company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing is the annual dividend payable on the preferred stock divided by the net price of the stock
annual dividend is $2.10
net price=market price*(1-flotation cost %)
net price=$36.04 *(1-6%)
net price=$ 33.88
company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing=$2.10/$33.88
company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing==6.20%

Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $31,700 a year for 6 years as a result. This expansion requires $110,300 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $7,800 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 11 percent
Answer:
the net present value of this expansion project is - $9,190.14.
Explanation:
Net Present Value is calculated by taking the Present Day (discounted) Value of all future net cash flows based on the cost of capital and subtracting the initial cost of investment.
Summary for Bruno's Lunch Counter cash flows for the Project are :
Year 0 = - $110,300
Year 1 = $31,700 - $7,800 = $23,900
Year 2 = $23,900
Year 3 = $23,900
Year 4 = $23,900
Year 5 = $23,900
Year 6 = $23,900
Use the financial calculator to input the values as follows
CF0 = - $110,300
CF1 = $23,900
CF2 = $23,900
CF3 = $23,900
CF4 = $23,900
CF5 = $23,900
CF6 = $23,900
P/yr = 1
r = 11 %
Net Present Value will be - $9,190.1453
Today (year 0), a new 7-megawatt (MW) solar panel farm is constructed at a direct cost of $10 million. The indirect cost of 10% of the direct cost was spent. Four years from today, a smaller 6-MW solar farm will be added to the existing farm. The cost indices of today and after 4 years are 400 and 600 respectively. If the cost-capacity factor is 0.75 for solar panel construction, what is the estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm
Answer:
14.70 m
Explanation:
The computation of estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm is shown below:-
Cost of 6MW plant = Cost of 7MW today × (Index today ÷ Index in past) × (Capacity of 6MW plant ÷ Capacity of 7MW plant )^Cost capacity factor
= = 1.1 × 10m × (600 ÷ 400) × (6 ÷ 7)^0.75
= 14.6985
or
= 14.70 m
So, for computing the cost of 6MW plant we simply applied the above formula.
