The correct answer all of the above is missing
Explanation:
In order to determine the realized return on investment, for instance, stock, one needs to the income received(dividend) the initial purchase price as well as the sale price of the investment as shown in the formula below:
return on investment=P1-Po+D/Po
P1 is the sale price of investment
Po is the initial cost of investment
D is the income received
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%
Sarah used the Hide command on her Excel worksheet. What would be the most likely reason to use this command?
O Sarah hid the cells to delete them from the worksheet.
O Sarah hid the cells to erase the formula they were part of
O Sarah hid the cells because the information they contained wasn't relevant to her task.
O Sarah hid the cells to highlight their importance.
Answer:
Sarah hid the cells because the information they contained wasn't relevant to her task.
Explanation:
Hiding the cells does not delete them from the worksheet, and it does not erase them from the formula that they are part of. Also, hiding cells does not highlight their importance, because they are hidden.

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

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
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
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

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
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.
"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

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
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

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?
Answer: got it wrong so don't pick this one
Explanation:
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.
FEEDBACK
0 / 3 (0.0%)
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.
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:
Pandora pioneered a new way to broadcast music. This kind of breakthrough of creating ________ ways to solve old problems or meeting customer needs in a ___________ new way is referred to as a pioneering new entry.
Answer:new; unique
Explanation:
Pioneering new entry is when a firm brings a new product into the market which in turn, changes the way in which businesses will be conducted.
In situations whereby the product is unique, then the pioneering firm may end up having little direct competition. Pioneering new entry is somehow risky as the product or service may not be accepted.
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:
PV = $176,121.76
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.

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.
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%

d. Work in Process 600,000
Cost of Goods Sold 600,000
Answer:
a. Finished Goods 360,000

When the units are finally sold, Cost of Goods Sold is recognized (Debit) and the Finished Goods Account is De-recognized (Credit).
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.

"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.
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.
