Answer:
The net profit is $13.50
Explanation:
The following data is use for computation
-Exercise price of a call option Xl is $25
-Price of a call option with lower exercise price Cl is $4
-Exercise size of a call option Xh is $40
-Price of a call option with lower exercise price Ch is $2.5
-Price of stock at expiration Sr is $50
Each point is exercise on the date of expiration
Transaction cost is Nil
Considering bullish spread strategy, the equation for net profit per share at expiration is as follows:
Net Profit = Xh - Xl + Ch - Cl
Net Profit = $40 - $25 + $2.5 - $4
Net Profit = $13.50
Thus, the net profit per share at expiration is $13.50

Answer:
1. Defined Benefit Plan
2. debit Vacation Pay Expense; credit Vacation Pay Payable
Explanation:
1. With a Defined Benefit Plan, employers promise to pay employees a pension based on factors like years of service and salary. The plan will be sponsored by the employer and will be managed by the company.
2. As the Vacation is an expense, it will need to be debited to an expense account being the Vacation Pay Expense account. It will also be credited to the Vacation Pay Payable to reflect that this is a liability that the company must fulfil.

Answer:
Ratified
Explanation:
you texpect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $11000. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.5 percent until the account is worth $19000. how many years do you have to wait from today?
Answer:
11.68 years
Explanation:
For computing the number of years first we have to applied the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $11,000
Future value = $19,000
Rate of interest = 6.5%
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years is 8.68
Now after 3 years, it would be
= 8.68 + 3
= 11.68 years
Situational Software Co. (SSC) is trying to establish its optimal capital structure. Its current capital structure consists of 30% debt and 70% equity; however, the CEO believes that the firm should use more debt. The risk-free rate, rRF, is 6%; the market risk premium, RPM, is 7%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. Currently, SSC's cost of equity is 15%, which is determined by the CAPM. What would be SSC's estimated cost of equity if it changed its capital structure to 50% debt and 50% equity? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate steps. %
Answer:
The estimated cost of equity is 10.3%
Explanation:
Step 1: Find Levered Beta
The CAPM formula would be used here to find the Levered Beta. CAPM formula is given as under:
Ke = Rf + Beta * (MRP - Rf)
Current Cost of Equity of company is ke and is 15%,
Risk free rate is Rf and is 6%
Market risk premium is 7%
15% = 6% + Beta* (7% - 6%)
Levered Beta = 9
Step 2: Find the Unlevered Beta
As we know that existing Debt to Equity ratio is (30 / 70), we can use the following formula to calculate the unlevered beta:
Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta / (1 + (1-t) * D/E)
Simply by putting values, we have:
Unlevered Beta = 1.2 / (1 + (1 - 40%) * 30/70) = 7.16
Step 3: Calculate levered beta on new debt to equity ratio
Now
New Debt to Equity Ratio is 1 (50 / 50)
As we know that:
Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta * (1 + (1-t) * Debt / Equity)
Levered Beta = 7.16 * (1 - 40%) * 1) = 4.3
Step 4: Use CAPM formula to calculate Cost of equity on new gearing
Using CAPM formula, we have:
Ke = Rf + Beta * (MRP - Rf)
Ke = 6% + 4.3 * 1% = 10.3%

You founded your own firm three years ago. You initially contributed $200,000 of your own money and in return you received 2 million shares of stock. Since then, you have sold an additional 1 million shares of stock to angel investors. You are now considering raising capital froma venture capital firm. This venture capital firm would invest $6 million and would receive 3 million newly issued shares in return.
Suppose you sold the 1 million shares to the angel investor for $500,000. What was the post-money valuation of your shares immediately following the angel investor's investment?
A. 1.0$ million
B. 500,000$
C. 2.5$ million
D. 2.0$ million
Answer:
A. $1.0 million
Explanation:
total shares outstanding immediately after you sold stocks to the angel investors = 2 million (your own) + 1 million (angel investors) = 3 million
the angel investors paid $500,000 for 1 million stocks, that means that your 2 million shares are worth twice as much = $500,000 x 2 = $1,000,000
the company's total value = $1,000,000 + $500,000 = $1,500,000
uppose Boyson Corporation's projected free cash flow for next year is FCF 1 = $150,000, and FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.5%. If the company's weighted average cost of capital is 11.5%, what is the value of its operations?
Answer:
Firm's corporate value is $3,000,000
Explanation:
Future cash flow = $150,000
Expected growth rate 6.5%
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.5%
Therefore, Firm's total corporate value = Future cash flow / Cost of capital - Growth rate
= $150,000 / 11.5% - 6.5%
= $3,000,000

Alonso T. Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. In their first processing department, the company worked on 1,050 equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs in April. Additional information for April is: Beginning inventory 230 units 40% complete Started 1,345 units Completed and transferred out 700 units Q: The % of completion of the ending inventory in work-in-process with respect to conversion cost is: A: % (enter % amount, not decimal; ex. 22, not 0.22)
Answer:
The % of completion of the ending inventory in work-in-process with respect to conversion cost is: 40%.
Explanation:
First determine the Physical Units of Closing Work In Process
Physical Units of Closing Work In Process Calculation
Physical Units of Closing Work In Process = 230 + 1,345 - 700
= 875
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production
(To determine Equivalent units of Closing Work In Process)
Conversion Cost
Units Completed and Transferred (700 × 100%) = 700
Units in Closing Work In Process (Balancing figure) = 350
Equivalent Units of Production = 1,050
Percentage Completion = Equivalent Units of Closing Work In Process / Physical Units of Closing Work In Process × 100
= 350 / 875 × 100
= 40%
The % of completion of the ending inventory in work-in-process with respect to conversion cost is: 40%.

The income from operations and the amount of invested assets in each division of Beck Industries are as follows: Income from Operations Invested Assets Retail Division $138,000 $690,000 Commercial Division 138,600 770,000 Internet Division 64,500 430,000 Assume that management has established a 10% minimum acceptable return for invested assets. a. Determine the residual income for each division. Retail Division Commercial Division Internet Division Income from operations $138,000 $138,600 $64,500 Minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets Residual income $ $ $ b. Which division has the most residual income
Answer:
a. Minimum acceptable income from operations as of 10% of invested assets
Retail Division = $690,000 * 10% = $69,000
Commercial Division = $770,000 * 10% = $77,000
Internet Division = $430,000 * 10% = $43,000
Residual Income = Income from Operation - Minimum acceptable income from operations as of 10 percent of invested assets
Retail Division Residual Income = $138,000 - $69,000
= $69,000
Commercial Division Residual Income = $138,600 - $77,000
= $61,600
Internet Division Residual Income = $64,500 - $43,000
= $21,500
b. Retail Division has the most Residual Income with the amount of $69,000
BPR is part of the larger discipline of ________, which consists of methods, tools, and technology to support and continuously improve business processes.
Answer:
Business process management.
Explanation:
Business process re-engineering (BPR) is part of the larger discipline of business model optimization, which consists of methods, tools, and technology to support and continuously improve business processes.
The main purpose of business process re-engineering (BPR) is to remove any unnecessary process which does not add value to a business, then to simplify and automate other processes left so as to reduce costs, cycle time, and labor.
Hence, this would ensure that the business is running smoothly without any downtime, backlogs or inefficiency.
Bundy Car Mechanic Inc. uses a job-order costing system. The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 46,000
Fixed overhead cost $805,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $1.00
During the year, a customer brought in her car for repairs. The following information was available with respect to the car's repairs:
Direct materials $719
Direct labor cost $177
Direct labor—hours used 7
If Bundy sets its selling prices by adding a markup percentage of 30% of its total job cost, then how much would Bundy have charged this customer for her car's repairs?
Answer:
Selling price= $1,336
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 46,000
Fixed overhead cost $805,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $1.00
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (805,000/46,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can calculate the total cost:
Direct materials $719
Direct labor cost $177
Direct labor—hours used 7
Total cost= 719 + 177 + 18.5*7= $1,027.7
Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 1,027.7*1.3= $1,336
14. Your opportunity cost of funds can be expressed as 6% per year, compounded quarterly. Assume now that the internship pays $8,000 per month (paid at the end of the month.) What is the value today of the salary
Answer:
$7,960.4
Explanation:
Here
Yearly rate is 6% which means that quarterly rate would be 1.5% which is one fourth of yearly rate (6% * 1/4).
Monthly internship is $8,000.
Now by using the present value model, we have:
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)^t
Here t will be one third (1/3) as we are calculating the present value of a salary and the rate that we are using is quarterly which means one month is one third of a quarter (1/3).
This Implies that:
Present Value = $8,000 / (1 + 1.5%)^(1/3)
= $7,960.4
A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 3.0 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 14 seconds, exponentially distributed. a. How many customers would you expect to see, on average, at the coffee urn? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: 3 customers.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Arrival rate of customers = 3 customers per minute
Service time = 14 seconds
Then if service time is 14 seconds, the service rate per minute will be 60/14 = 4.29 = 4 (nearest whole number)
Service rate = 4 customers per minute.
Number of customers at coffee urn(Nc) :
Nc = (arrival rate) /(service rate - arrival rate)
Nc = (3) / (4 - 3)
Nc = 3 / 1
Nc = 3
Therefore, average number of customers expected at coffee urn = 3
Identify the number of fims present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model in the following scenario.
In a small town, there are four providers of broadband Internet access: a cable company the phone company, and two satellite companies. The Internet access offered by all four providers is of the same speed. Almost everyone in the city already has broadband, so any potential new company would have to engage in a price war with the existing companies and would be unlikely to cover its costs for years, if ever.
Answer:
No of Firms Present - 4 firms / few firms
Type of Product - Standadized Product
All the companies are offering a standadized product of broadband Internet access of the same speed.
Appropriate Market Model - Oligopoly
An Oligopoly is a concentrated market structure where a few firms dominate the market and offer the same products. Gaining entrance into this type of market is considered hard as the existing firms are already very entrenched and dislodging them will require a huge cash outlay. The Broadband internet market in this town is therefore an Oligopoly.
n investor has $100,000 invested in an account that earns 5% annually. The investor wishes to withdraw $12,000 per year. If the investor withdraws $12,000 annually, the account will be fully depleted in:
Answer:
11 years
Explanation:
For computing, the number of years or the account will be fully depleted we need to apply the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $100,000
Future value = $0
PMT = $12,000
Rate of interest = 5%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years in which the account is depleted is 11 years
Assignment Content Potential risk factors are found in every project. Although individual projects have different risks, there are several common risk factors. Create either a list or chart of 5 common potential risks. In 1 to 2 sentences, briefly explain why each of these risks are so common. How are they measured? Why are these important to consider when evaluating an organization’s strategic plan? Submit your list or chart.
Answer and Explanation:
The common risk factors into the project are shown below :-
a. Most of the projects are at risk from the budget. In which the organisation estimates the budget is inaccurate or less for the project.
b. One of the important risk organizations that the project faces is that there is a conflict between the parties concerned. That could affect the project.
c. Technology risks one of the threats, too. Where service outrage interferes with or affects a project.
d. We face the threat of schedule even during the project. Where it's not finishing the project on time. That will improve the company's costs.
e. In the project health and safety is a common threat that each organisation or initiative has to face and make the threat a priority.
All those risks are normal, Since expense, technology, and manpower are important in any project period. That allows us to finish the tasks and how that affects other factors. It can represent a risk to the project.
There are plenty of risks in the project which are normal to some of them. Measuring all of those threats. We need to audit the project in a timely manner by analyzing the project situation and that we can also do a project performance management to evaluate all the project risks.
Understanding these risks can be a powerful and significant consideration for the company in the strategic preparation of the organisation.
Through taking those risks into account. Organization can accurately foresee the potential problems, the project situations.
It should help the company overcome the problem as quickly as possible. That helps save the business time and costs.
Annual Worth and Capital Recovery Calculations U S. Steel is considering a plant expansion to produce austenitic, precipitation hardened, duplex, and martensitic stainless steel round bars that is expected to cost $13 million now and another $10 million 1 year from now. If total operating costs will be $1.2 million per year starting 1 year from now, and the estimated salvage value of the plant is virtually zero, how much must the company make annually in years 1 through 10 to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year?
Answer:
$5,601,632
Explanation:
we must first calculate the present value of the required investments and the annual costs:
initial investment = $13,000,000 + $10,000,000/1.1 = $22,090,909
annual costs = $1,200,000 x 5.0188 (PV annuity factor, 15%, 10 periods) = $6,022,560
present value of initial investment + annual costs = $28,113,469
we must calculate an annuity that has a present value = $28,113,469 with a 15% discount rate and 10 years:
annuity = $28,113,469 / 5.0188 = $5,601,631.67 ≈ $5,601,632
A firm always has a competitive disadvantage when its return on invested capital is:_________
A. 2 percent or lower in a declining industry.
B. declining steadily over two or more years.
C. about the same as its closest competitor.
D. below the industry average.
Answer:
A firm always has a competitive disadvantage when its return on invested capital is:_________
D. below the industry average.
Explanation:
A firm's competitive disadvantage shows when the return on investment is below the industry average. For instance, let us assume that Niposte, Inc. operates in the paper milling industry and that its return on investment of 10% falls below the industry average of 15%, then one can conclude that Niposte, Inc. is not favored in this industry. The cause of such a situation for Niposte, Inc. may be that the ability of its management to turn revenue into profits for stockholders is hampered with excessive costs. This is because the return on investment is a profitability ratio that shows how Niposte, Inc. and its competitors are performing in terms of generating profit from revenue through efficient management of operating costs.
What would happen in the market for loanable funds if the government were to increase the tax on interest income?
Answer:
Interest rates would rise.
Explanation:
There would be a decrease in the amount of loanable funds borrowed.
if the government were to increase the tax on interest income, a reduction in the amount of funds borrowed would happen because the cost of borrowing would then become higher and people would have to pay more than they would have paid for every amount borrowed

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated. For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities. It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities. The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position. It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November. There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.
