Answer:
Book Value is $0.2 million
Market Value is $50 million
Book Value per share is $0.2 per share
Market Value per share is $50 per share
Explanation:
Part A. The book value of Alchemy Products Inc., is $0.2 million and its market value is $50 million.
Part B.
The Book value per share of Alchemy Products Inc., is calculated as under:
Book Value per share = $0.2 million / 1 Million shares = $0.2 per share
The Market value per share of Alchemy Products Inc., is calculated as under:
Market Value per share = $50 million / 1 Million shares = $50 per share
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%
Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2019 in order to have the same purchasing power? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Salary 2019= $112,404.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Salary 2012= $70,000
Inflation rate= 7%
Salary 2019= ?
To calculate the nominal value of your salary to maintain the purchasing power, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 70,000*(1.07^7)
FV= $112,404.7

To maximize profit when a constrained resource exists, management should produce the sales mix that has the highest contribution margin per unit of scarce resource. true or false
Answer: True
Explanation:
To maximize profit when a constrained resource exists, management should produce the sales mix which has the highest contribution margin per unit of scarce resource.
For example, if the contribution per unit of product A and product B are 15 and 20, with labor hour required for product A 1 hour and that of product B 2 hours and the contribution margin for product you for product A is $15 and for product B is $10.
Then, product A has higher contribution margin despite using less labor hour.

Sheridan Company had a 40 percent tax rate. Given the following pre-tax amounts, what would be the income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement?
Sales revenue $ 500,000
Cost of goods sold 300,000
Salaries and wages expense 40,000
Depreciation expense 55,000
Dividend revenue 45,000
Utilities expense 5,000
Extraordinary loss 50,000
Interest expense 10,000
a. $54,000
b. $34,000
c. $36,000
d. $16,000
Answer:
a. $54,000
Explanation:
The computation of income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement is shown below:-
Income before tax = Sales revenue + Dividend revenue - Cost of goods sold - Salaries and wages expenses - Depreciation expenses - Utilities expenses - Interest expenses
= $500,000 + $45,000 - $300,000 - $40,000 - $55,000 - $5,000 - $10,000
= $135,000
Income tax expenses = Before Income tax × Income tax rate
= $135,000 × 40%
= $54,000
Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services both disposed of an old asset. When completing the journal entry, Wagner Enterprises included a debit to Cash, but Stone Services did not. Why would the companies have this difference in the journal entry
Answer:
Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services
Disposal of old asset:
It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company. In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment. Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account. In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.
Explanation:
When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account. The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse. When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited. Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.

Anthony Corporation reported the following amounts for the year: Net sales $296,000 Cost of goods sold 138,000 Average inventory 50,000 Anthony's average days in inventory is (round to the nearest whole day):
Answer:
132.25 days
Explanation:
average days in inventory is an activity ratio.
Activity ratios calculates the efficiency of performing daily tasks.
average days in inventory = number of days in a period / inventory turnover
inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory = 138,000 / 50,000 = 2.76
Assuming a 365 day period , 365 / 2.76 = 132.25
Loaded-Up Fund charges a 12b-1 fee of 1% and maintains an expense ratio of 0.75%. Economy Fund charges a front-end load of 2%, but has no 12b-1 fee and an expense ratio of 0.25%. Assume the rate of return on both funds’ portfolios (before any fees) is 6% per year. How much will an investment of $1,000 in each fund grow to after:
a. 1 year?
b. 3 years?
c. 10 years?
Answer:
Loaded - Up Fund
1 Year
The value of the investment can be calculated by the formula;
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
Loaded-Up fund has no front end load.
r is the return
True Expense Ratio = Fees + Expense Ratio
= 1% + 0.75%
= 1.75%
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 1
= $1,042.50
3 years
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 3
= $1,133.00
10 years
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 10
= $ 1,516.21
Economy Fund.
1 year
The same formula applies and this time because the Economy fund uses a front-load charge of 2% as well as an expense ratio of 0.25%, the formula will be;
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 1
= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 1
= $1,036.35
3 years
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 3
= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 3
= $1,158.96
10 years
= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t
= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 10
= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 10
= $1,714.08
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
Kant Corporation retires its $500,000 face value bonds at 102 on January 1, following the payment of interest. The carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date is $481,250. The entry to record the redemption will include a
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Bonds payable Dr, $500,000
Loss on retirement of bonds Dr, $28,750
($510,000 + $18,750 - $500,000 )
To Cash $510,000 ($500,000 × 1.02)
To discount on bonds payable $18,750 ($500,000 - $481,250)
(Being redemption is recorded)
Here we debited the bonds payable and loss on retirement of bonds as it decreased the liabilities and increased the loss and we credited the cash and discount on bonds payable as it decreased the assets and increased the liabilities

During the current month, Grey Company transferred 60,000 units of finished production out of the Mixing Department at a cost of $6 each. They were transferred to finished goods. The journal entry to record the transfer would be which of the following?
a. Finished Goods 360,000
Work in Process 360,000
b. Finished Goods 360,000
Cost of Goods Sold 360,000
c. Work in Process 600,000
Finished Goods 600,000
d. Work in Process 600,000
Cost of Goods Sold 600,000
Answer:
a. Finished Goods 360,000
Work in Process 360,000
Explanation:
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).
Suppose a farmer is expecting that her crop of oranges will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time. Suppose each orange juice futures contract is for 15,00015,000 pounds of orange juice, and the current futures price is F_0 = 118.65F 0 =118.65 cents-per-pound. Assuming that the farmer has enough cash liquidity to fund any margin calls, what is the risk-free price that she can guarantee herself.
Answer:
Explanation:
The risk-free rate is the interest that an investor will typically expect from an investment over a period of time.
From the question, the risk free price will be the current futures price which has been given as 118.65 cents per pound.
Therefore, since the farmer is ready for harvest and sale as 150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time, he will have a price of:
= 150,000 × $118.65
= $17,797.5
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. How much do you have to deposit today
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
Last 7 years:
PV= 32,000/(1.043^7)
PV= $23,831.96
Year 4 - 7:
PV= 23,831.96/1.036^(3)
PV= 21,432.88
Finally, for year 0 to 4:
PV= 21,432.88/ 1.03^(4)
PV= 19,042.84
Suppose a firm occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets. Which approach is the firm following? Conservative approach Maturity matching approach Aggressive approach Which usually costs less—short-term or long-term debt? Long-term debt Short-term debt
Answer: Conservative approach; Short term debt
Explanation:
Conservative approach is used by a company to maintain a level of current assets that is high which invariably leads to higher working capital. This is used by a firm that occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets.
Short term debts typically costs less than the long term debts as it's for a shorter duration.
You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 40 percent.
Debt: 5,000 7.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 30 years to maturity, selling for 108 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments.
Common stock: 440,000 shares outstanding, selling for $62 per share; the beta is 1.05.
Preferred stock: 22,000 shares of 3 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $82 per share.
Market: 11 percent market risk premium and 5.2 percent risk-free rate.
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%

g Hudson Co. If the company raises its selling price to $300 per unit. 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s contribution margin per unit. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s contribution margin ratio. 3. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 4. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirements. But, I will provide an example and formulas to guide an answer.
Example:
Selling price= $300
Unitary variable cost= $170
Fixed costs= 125,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 300 - 170= 130
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 130/300= 0.43
Now, we can determine the break-even point in units and dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 125,000/130
Break-even point in units= 962
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 125,000/0.43
Break-even point (dollars)= $290,698

"A customer has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to buy $25,000 of XYZ mutual fund to qualify for a breakpoint that reduces the sales charge from 7% to 6%. The customer deposits $15,000 into the fund over the next 13 months. At the end of 13 months, the NAV is $20,000. How much does the customer have to deposit to complete the LOI?"
Answer:
The customer has to deposit $10,000
Explanation:
Here, we want to know the amount that needs to be deposited by the customer to complete the LOI
This can be deduced using a simple mathematical calculation ;
Amount to be deposited by the customer = 25,000 - amount deposited already
From the question, the amount deposited already = $15,000
So the amount to be deposited by the customer = 25,000-15,000 = $10,000
Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's card:_______.
Answer:
The correct answer is: the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.
Explanation:
To begin with, the elasticity show how much the price and the quantity are related by indicating the variation that happens to one of them when the other changes. Therefore that the supply of the greeting cards is less sensitive to price because when the quantity demanded increased the price did not change as much as the roses due to the fact that the sellers were not encourage as much as the sellers of the roses to produce more and therefore to increase the price of the cards. So to sum up, when the price changed the sellers were not encourage to increase the production of the cards as much as the production of the roses because of its elasticity.
Answer:
the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.
Explanation:
"A 7% general obligation bond is issued with 20 years to maturity. A customer buys the bond on a 7.50% basis. The bond contract allows the issuer to call the bonds in 5 years at 102 1/2, with the call premium declining by 1/2 point a year thereafter. The bond is puttable in 5 years at par. The price of the bond to a customer would be calculated based on the:"
The available options are:
A. 5 year call at 102 1/2
B. 5 year put at 100
C. 10 year call at 100
D. 20 year maturity
Answer:
20 year maturity
Explanation:
Given that, the bond has a stated rate of interest of 7%, and at the same time, priced to yield 7.50%, this implies that, the bond is being sold at a discount.
The amount of the discount to which this equates is about $140 (this is depending on the figure). The dollar price of the bond would be $860 to yield 7.50% to maturity. Based on MSRB rules, it is ideal that, bonds are priced on a worst case basis, meaning in this case where the discount is $140, and it is earned over the longest period of time. This can only occurs if the bonds are held to maturity.
It should be noted that, If the bonds are called earlier, the yield actually improves on the bonds, since the customer earns the discount faster.
Hence, The price of the bond to a customer would be calculated based on the: 20 year maturity.
