Answer:
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.
The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)
r = 0.18 or 18%
Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends
Plugging in the available variables, g is,
120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)
120* (0.18 - g) = 10
21.6 - 120g = 10
g = (10 - 21.6) / -120
g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%
So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.
P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct
Coastal Shores Inc. (CSI) was completely destroyed by Hurricane Fred on August 5, 2021. At January 1, CSI reported an inventory of $153,000. Sales from January 1, 2021, to August 5, 2021, totaled $432,000 and purchases totaled $175,500 during that time. CSI consistently marks up its products 60% over cost to arrive at a selling price. The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:
Answer:
58,500
Explanation:
Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is
Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales
Where,
Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160
=$270,000
Since opening inventory = $153,000
Purchases = $175,500
Therefore,
Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000
= $58,500
A stock has had returns of 12 percent, 19 percent, 21 percent, −12 percent, 26 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
Geometric average return
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %
Average rate of return= 10.17 %
Geometric return = 9.23%
Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out. To illustrate your recommended procedure, use as an example the ordering policy for white percale sheets.
Demand for white percale sheets is 5,000 per year. The store is open 365 days per year. Every two weeks (14 days) inventory is counted and a new order is placed. It takes 10 days for the sheets to be delivered. Standard deviation of demand for the sheets is five per day. There are currently 150 sheets on hand.
How many sheets should you order?
Answer:
The number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Explanation:
Before we can determine the number sheets to order, we need to first calculate the targeted number of sheet as follows:
TN = DD * (LT + RT) + z + SDD * [tex]\sqrt{LT + RT}[/tex] .......................... (1)
Where;
TN = Targeted number of sheets = ?
DD = Daily demand = 5,000 / 365 = 13.70
LT = Lead time = 10
RT = Review time or stock taking time = 14
SDD = Standard Deviation of Daily Demand = 5
z = 1.64
Note: Since Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out, the z is determined by just typing the function =NORM.S.INV(0.95) in the Microsoft Excel to obtain the 1.64.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
TN = 13.70 * (10 + 14) + 1.64 * 5 * [tex]\sqrt{10+14}[/tex]
TN = 369 approximately
Since there are currently 150 sheets on hand, the number of sheets you should order can be determined as follows:
Number of sheet to order = TS - Number of sheets on hand = 369 - 150 = 219 sheets
Therefore, the number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Answer:
219 sheets
Explanation:
The computation of the number of sheets ordered is computed by applying the following formula
Number of sheets ordered is
= Average daily demand × (Lead time + time taken) + Service probability × standard deviation in lead time - present inventory level
where,
Standard deviation in lead time is
= [tex]\sqrt{10+14(5)}[/tex]
= 24.49
And, the service probability level could be find out by applying the =NORMSINV(0.95) in excel so the value of z is 1.64
And, all other things would remain the same
= 5,000 ÷ 365 days × (10 + 14) + (1.64) (24.49) - 150
= 219 sheets
General Electric (GE) has earnings per share of $2.98 and dividends per share of $0.35. Its return on assets (ROA) is 14.6% and its return on equity (ROE) is 18.2%. What is its sustainable rate of growth?
Answer:
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%
Explanation:
The sustainable growth rate is the growth rate in earning or dividends of a stock that will remain constant in the long run. Such a rate is calculate for an indefinite period of time. The formula to calculate the sustainable growth rate is,
g = RR * ROE
Where,
RR is the retention ratio or (1 - dividend payout ratio)ROE is the return on equityThe dividend per share as a percentage of earnings per share will give us the dividend payout ratio.
Dividend payout ratio = 0.35 / 2.98 = 0.1174 or 11.74%
g = (1 - 11.74%) * 18.2%
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%
Based on the following production and sales estimates for May, determine the number of units expected to be manufactured in May. Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000 Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000 Expected sales volume (units): South region 20,000 West region 40,000 North region 20,000 Unit sales price $10 a.85,000 b.105,000 c.75,000 d.80,000
Answer:
Production= 75,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000
Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000
Expected sales volume (units):
South region 20,000
West region 40,000
North region 20,000
To calculate the production for May, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= (20,000 + 40,000 + 20,000) + 25,000 - 30,000
Production= 75,000 units

Complete Question:
A small distribution organization uses a payroll company to provide employee compensation services and keep timesheet records and employee attendance history. This situation is an example of?
Group of answer choices.
A. Offshoring
B. Centralized work surveillance.
C. Outsourcing.
D. Telecommuting.
Answer:
Outsourcing.
Explanation:
When a small distribution organization uses a payroll company to provide employee compensation services and keep timesheet records and employee attendance history. This situation is an example of outsourcing.
Outsourcing can be defined as a contractual agreement in which a company contracts another firm (third-party) to be responsible for providing certain job functions, tasks or services rather than use employees or departments within the company.
In this scenario, the outsourcing firm or company is saddled with the responsibility of providing employees compensation services, keep timesheet records, and manage the attendance history of employees working at the outsourced distribution organization.
According to the FTC's historical guidelines for mergers, would the FTC approve a merger between two firms that would result in an HHI of 1,025 after the merger?A: Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decision.B: Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.C: No, the FTC would probably challenge the merger.2. Instead of defining a market and counting up total sales, what are antitrust regulators looking at today when determining whether to allow a merger or not?A: HHIB: industry competitionC: four-firm concentration ratioD: innovation3. Price cap regulations are a market regulatory device governments utilize, where the top price a firm can charge is locked in for a defined period of time. All of the following statements are true, except:_________.A: The government sets a price by looking at the firm's average costs and then adding a normal rate of profit.B: The firm can make high profits by producing a higher quantity than expected.C: The firm can make high profits by producing at lower costs.D: The government sets a price level for a few years.
Answer and Explanation:
1. A: Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decision
the ftc would historically make a case-by-case decision for HHI( Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ) between 1000 and 1800 but nowadays antitrust enforcement agencies dontvdeoend much on ratios such as HHI in measuring competition but would rather perform in depth analysis of each industry under study
2.industry competition
Antitrust regulators look out for the level of competition in an industry in allowing mergers and rely more on case-by-case analysis in making it's evaluations
3.True
price cap regulations are used by government to control prices based on inflation levels or price cap index .price cap regulations set a cap on the price that can be charged by businesses for a product. They are set for a defined period of time.
4.A: The government sets a price by looking at the firm's average costs and then adding a normal rate of profit.
Government doesn't consider costs and normal rate of profit to the firm in setting price ceiling or floor for products
During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $126,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $93,000. Pave estimates that 20% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts. Required: a. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.b. Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer: Please see answer in the explanation column
Explanation:
Account receivables = Total account - cash collections
$126,000 -- $93,000
= $33,000
Uncollectible Accounts = 20% x 33,000 = $6,600
a) Journal to record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts
Date Account Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2018 Bad debts expense $6,600
Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,600
B) net realizable value of accounts receivable= Total Accounts Receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $33,000 - $6,600= $26400

he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:
Answer:
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%
Explanation:
share price at the beginning = $50
time = 3 year
price at the end of year 1 = $62
price at the end of year 2 = $58
price at the end of year 3 = $64
Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%
Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%
Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100 = 10.34%
Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1
= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1 = 8.58%
Byrd Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 205,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.73 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent and there are no taxes. a. Use MM Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? ((Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
a) $21.63
b) $4,433,125
Explanation:
plan I, total stocks outstanding = 205,000
plan II, total stocks outstanding = 125,000, and $1,730,000 in debt ($1,730,000 x 8% = $138,400 in interests)
under MM proposition I, a firm's total value is equal whether it uses external financing (debt) or not:
205,000P₀ = 125,000P₀ + $1,730,000
205,000P₀ - 125,000P₀ = $1,730,000
80,000P₀ = $1,730,000
P₀ = $1,730,000 / 80,000 = $21.625 = $21.63
the firm's total value = $21.625 x 205,000 = $4,433,125
Cash $38,600 Short-term investments 9,000 Accounts receivable 40,000 Inventory 240,000 Prepaid expenses 17,400 Accounts payable 87,200 Other current payables 22,300 Multiple Choice 0.96 and 3.96. 2.99 and 1.25. 3.15 and 0.80. 3.15 and 0.32.
Answer:
Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)
Explanation:
Note: The missing part of the question is "Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:"
i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400
Current assets = $345,000
Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300
Current liabilities = $109,500
Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500
Current ratio = 3.15
ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities
Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000 + 17,400 ) / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 0.80
An investor purchases a 15-year, $1,000 par value bond that pays semiannual interest of $50. If the semiannual market rate of interest is 6%, what is the current market value of the bond
Answer:
The answer is $862.35
Explanation:
Explanation:
This is a semiannual paying coupon, meaning interest are paid twice in year.
N(Number of periods) = 30periods ( 15 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 6 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $50
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 30; I/Y = 6; PMT = 50; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -862.35
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $862.35.

Explanation:
Suppose the Federal Reserve purchases $1,000,000 worth of foreign assets.
a. if the Federal Reserve purchases the foreign assets with 51,000,000 in currency, show the effect of this open market operation, using T-accounts. What happens to the monetary base?
b. if the Federal Reserve purchases the foreign assets by selling 51,000,000 in T-bills, show the effect of this open market operation, using T-accounts. What happens to the monetary base?
Answer:
A. Federal Reserve
Assets Liabilities
Foreign Assets $1,000,000 Currency in circulation $51,000,000
The federal liabilities increase by $51,000,000 in currency because it uses that money to purchase foreign assets which increase the foreign assets category by an equivalent amount. The monetary base is defined as the sum of currency circulating in the public and commercial banks reserve with the central bank
Since, the currency in circulation has increased. Thus, the monetary base will increase by $51,000,000
B. Federal Reserve
Assets Liabilities
Securities T-bill - $51,000,000
Foreign Assets $1,000,000
The federal is basically swapping T-bills with foreign assets. It did not use currency to make this purchase and the composition of assets changes, but the total does not.
Thus, the monetary base does not change
The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt and equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm's overall capital structure.
_________ is the symbol that represents the cost of preferred stock in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation.
Bryant Co. has $2.3 million of debt, $1.5 million of preferred stock, and $1.8 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity?
A. 0.32
B. 0.24
C. 0.22
D. 0.30
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer
Weight of equity =0.32
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
The weight is the market value of nominal value of the source of fund as a proportion of the total capital funds.
Total capital funds = Debt funds + Preferred Funds + Equity funds
= ($2.3 + $1.5 + $1.8 ) million = $5.6 million
Weight of equity = Equity capital/Total capital funds
= 1.8/5.6 =0.32
Weight of equity =0.32
In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.
Answer:
A painter hired to paint your home.
Explanation:
Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.
For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.
Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.
Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.
In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.
What is the relationship between total surplus and economic efficiency?
Answer: When total surplus gets maximized, then economy meet economic efficiency.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is described as a thinking that there is one possible way to make situation better by imposing a cost on another.
Total surplus is described as the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
It gets maximized in a perfect competition (hit free-market equilibrium).
i.e. It gets maximized when both consumer and producer surplus is maximum, and then the economy meet economic efficiency.
Which of the following ratios indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover fixed costs and to provide a profit?
A. Margin of safety ratio
B. Costs and expenses ratio
C. Profit ratio
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Margin of safety ratio.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Margin of Safety", in the field of business and accounting, is refered to a ratio whose main purpose is to establish the point in where the company knows that it has to sale obligately due to the fact that at that point the company can be sure that they have covered the fixed costs of it and after that point every sale will became a profit for the company. So that is why that this ratio indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover those costs.
Suppose a good has a downward-sloping, straight-line demand curve. If the price elasticity of demand is 2.5 when the price is $10 per unit, then the price elasticity of demand when the price is $7 per unit could be a. approaching infinity. b. 2.7. c. 2.5. d. 1.7.
Answer:
c. 2.5
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
the price elasticity would not change as a result of the change
Which of the following statements would best characterize someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures?a. The person varies the rate of their speaking.b. The person uses facial expressions when communicating.c. The person pays attention to verbal and non-verbal behavior.d. The person fills "silence" during conversations.
Answer: The person fills "silence" during conversations
Explanation:
Culture is simply regarded as people's way of life. The way if life include their food, the kind of music they listen to, their religion, language, their beliefs, values etc.
Someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures would usually be silent during conversations. This is because the person doesn't know much about the culture and can't really be involved in the conversation.

TB MC Qu. 6-70 Awtis Corporation has a margin of ... Awtis Corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25% based on its actual sales. The break-even point is $213,600 and the variable expenses are 45% of sales. Given this information, the actual profit is:
Answer:
$39,160
Explanation:
Awtis corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25%
= 25/100
= 0.25
The break even point is $213,600
The variable expenses is 45%
= 45/100
= 0.45
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio= 1-variable expenses
= 1-0.45
= 0.55
The fixed expenses can be calculated as follows
Fixed expenses= break even sales × contribution margin ratio
= $213,600×0.55
= 117,480
The total actual sales can be calculated as follows
= Break even sales/(1-margin of safety)
= $213,600/(1-0.25)
= $213,600/0.75
= $284,800
Therefore, the actual profit can be calculated as follows
Actual profit= Contribution margin ratio×sales - fixed expenses
= 0.55×284,800-$117,480
= $156,640-$117,480
= $39,160
Hence the actual profit is $39,160
You have risen through the ranks of a coffee comany, from the lowly green-apron barista to the coveted black apron, and all the way to CFO. A quick internet check shows that your company's beta is 0.6. The risk-free rate is 4.1% and you believe the market risk premium to be 5.2%. What is your best estimate of investors' expected return on your company's stock (its cost of equity capital)?
Answer:
The cost of equity capital or expected rate of return is 7.22%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return or the required rate of return is the minimum rate of return required by the investors to invest in a stock or a portfolio of stock based on the systematic risk that a stock carries as represented by a stock's beta. The expected rate of return (r) of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.041 + 0.6 * 0.052
r = 0.0722 or 7.22%

g An arbitrage opportunity arises when... Group of answer choices An investment has a high risk-return ratio. disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit the risk-free rate generates a positive alpha. a net investment is taken place within a portfolio
Answer:
disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
Explanation:
Arbitrage is defined as the practice where there is simultaneous buying and selling of an asset so as to benefit from a price difference.
Usually the price differences occur in different markets, so the arbitrator acts as a supplier of the goods to market where goods are to be sold.
For example if a company buys fertiliser from a whole seller and immediately sells the goods to a farmer's cooperative at higher price this is arbitrage.
So abitrage opportunity is when disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit

Correct Unrealized Profit in Inventory
Cost of Sales $27,000 (debit)
Inventory $27,000 (credit)
Explanation:
The Sale of merchandise by Perkins Company (Parent) to Sheraton Company (Subsidiary) is an Intragroup transaction since the companies form a group.
This results in the Cost of Goods Sold and Revenue being overstated for each intra-sale transaction and an unrealized profit resulting in the inventory that has not been sold at the end of the period.
The above are the necessary adjustments that are required to correct the overstatement and unrealized profits.
