Answer:
1)
Div₀ = $2.90
Div₁ = $3.132
Div₂ = $3.38256
Div₃ = $3.65316
Div₄ = $3.94542
Div₅ = $4.20187
Div₆ = $4.41196 (an then g = 5% forever)
rrr = 12%
terminal value at end of year 5 = $4.41196 / (12% - 5%) = $63.03
current stock price P₀ = $3.132/1.12 + $3.38256/1.12² + $3.65316/1.12³ + $3.94542/1.12⁴ + $4.20187/1.12⁵ + $63.03/1.12⁵ = $2.796 + $2.697 + $2.600 + $2.507 + $2.384 + $35.765 = $48.749
P₀ = $48.749
2) following question 1, if the payout ratio is 80%, then total earnings per share (EPS) = $4.41196 / 0.8 = $5.51495 per share
if P/E ratio = 25, then the price of each stock in 6 years = 25 x $5.51495 = $137.87
Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming positive interest rates and holding other things constant?
a. The present value of a 5 year, $250 annuity due will be lower than the PV of a similar ordinary annuity. b. A 30-year, $150,000 amortized mortgage will have larger monthly payments than an otherwise similar 20-year mortgage.
c. A bank loan?s nominal interest rate will always be equal to or greater than its effective annual rate.
d. If an investment pays 10% interest, compounded quarterly, its effective annual rate will be greater than 10%.
e. Banks A and B offer the same nominal annual rate of interest, but A pays interest quarterly and B pays semiannually. Deposits in Bank B will provide a higher future value if you leave your funds on deposit.
Answer: d. If an investment pays 10% interest, compounded quarterly, its effective annual rate will be greater than 10%.
Explanation:
Effective annual interest rate = (1 + (nominal rate / number of compounding periods)) ^ (number of compounding periods) - 1)
= (( 1 + ( 10% / 4)) ^ 4) - 1
= 10.38%
10.38% > 10%
if you put up $50,000 today in exchange for a 6.75 percent, 14 year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be?
Answer:
The annual cash flow is $5631.832765 rounded off to $5631.83
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cash flows which are of constant amount, occur after equal intervals of time and are for a limited of defined period of time. The present value of an annuity can be calculated using the following formula,
PV = Cash flow * [ (1 - (1+r)^-n) / r ]
Where,
Cash flow is the constant annuity payment per periodr is the required rate of returnn is the number of periodsAs the annuity is taken in exchange of $50000 today, we can say that the present value of annuity is $50000. Thus, to calculate the cash flow or annuity payment per period, we can input the available values of all the variables in the formula above.
Let the annual annuity payment or cash flow be x.
50000 = x * [ (1 - (1+0.0675)^-14) / 0.0675 ]
50000 / [ (1 - (1+0.0675)^-14) / 0.0675 ] = x
x = $5631.832765 rounded off to $5631.83

Indicate whether Accrued Revenues and Prepaid Expenses result in Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) or Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTLs):
Answer:
Prepaid expenses result in deferred tax assets (DTAs) which means that they will be used to lower the company's future tax liabilities.
Accrued revenues can also lead to DTAs, e.g. the company recognizes revenue before they are paid. But if the company instead defers the recognition of revenue, it will result in a deferred tax liability (DTL). E.g. some companies recognize revenue only after they have been paid.
When a company pays customers for their positive ratings on product user review sites, it may cross a(n) __________ line.
Answer: c. ethical
Explanation:
Positive ratings of a product encourage other people to buy a product because they will assume that it is good.
If a company pays for these ratings even when the goods are not as good, it will lead people to buy goods that they would not have bought otherwise which amounts to deception which is not an ethically right action to engage in to sell products.
Modern Designs is a new business. During its first year of operations, credit sales were $41,000 and collections of credit sales were $37,000. One account, $675, was written off.

What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense
Answer: ,$446,600
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
The depreciation expense is simply the decrease in an asset's cost due to its usage. For the straight-line depreciation, the cost of the asset is written off evenly over the entire economic life of the asset.
present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is calculated as: the difference between the cost of the kiln and the tax shield on the expense of the installation costs. This will be:
= $464,000 - ($58,000 × 30%)
= $464,000 - ($58,000 × 0.3)
= $464,000 - $17,400
= $446,600
Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year, she earned a total of 8,488. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45%. The FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,325.17. What is the total amount of taxes withheld from the Portia's earnings?
A) $3,097.17.
B) $2,443.21.
C )$1,957.06.
D) $1,722.00.
E) $1,495.36.
Answer: $1,974.51
Explanation:
FUTA and SUTA taxes are the responsibility of the employer so the amount withheld from Portia's earnings will be;
= Social security tax + Medicare tax + Federal income tax withheld
= (0.062 * 8,488) + ( 0.0145 * 8,488) + 1,325.17
= 526.26 + 123.08 + 1,325.17
= $1,974.51

Suppose that due to the development of a new flu vaccine for a specific type of flu, the demand for hand sanitizer has decreased by 50%. Smith & Smith, a company that produces and sells hand sanitizer, should Decrease) production of its hand sanitizer. (Increase or Suppose that there is evidence that a new flu, H15N9, is slowly developing and spreading. True or False: Smith & Smith should significantly decrease production capacity by getting rid of capital equipment. (True or False).
Answer:
increase and false
Explanation:
As information given, the flu is new in the market and has serious issues, and now that no cure or solution is feasible and will not be possible soon,
For a safety precaution, the hand sanitizer may help to get sick with Flu. But people are going to buy the sanitizer at a massive price.
As a result , demand for such a commodity will increase tremendously on the market, and it will do so even though the company has to expand its manufacturing capacity by leasing it.
So it would increase the production level so the last statement is false
When the cost method is used to account for a stock investment the carrying value of the investment is affected by
Answer: b. neither the earnings nor the dividends of the investee.
Explanation:
When the cost method is used to account for a stock investment, it means that in the books, the stock is to be recorded at the price it was purchased for.
This means that even if earnings and dividends accrue on the stock, it is not to change in value but should stay being recorded at the price it cost to acquire.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are False? Assume a positive interest rate
I. All else equal, the farther out a cash flow is the lower its present value.
II. all else equal, for the cash flows received at the same time in the future, the lower the discount rate, the lower the present vale.
A. Only I is False.
B. Only II is False.
C. Both are False.
D. Both are True.
Answer:
False Statement:
B. Only II is False.
Explanation:
If the cash flow from a project is farther out, the present value will be lower, all else being equal. This is because of the time value of money. This concept states that the money you receive today is higher in value than the same amount received in the future. And if the future is father out, then the value of the money will continue to reduce in relative value based on this time value of money concept.
Suppose market demand and supply are given by Qd = 100 - 2P and QS = 5 + 3P. If a price ceiling of $15 is imposed what will be the resulting full economic price?
Answer: $25
Explanation:
The full economic price is the the dollar amount that a business gets as a result of a price ceiling and will be the price that equates the Quantity demanded to that supplied given the price ceiling.
Quantity demanded = 100 - 2P
= 100 - 2 * 15
= $70
Quantity Supplied = 5 + 3 * P
= 5 + 3 * 15
= $50
Qs = Qd
50 = 100 - 2P
2P = 50
P = $25

What is the yield to maturity (YTM) on a simple loan for $1,500 that requires a repayment of $15,000 in five years’ time?
Answer:
Yield to maturity = 58.5%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity on the loan can be worked out using the Future value of a lump sum formula.
The future value of a lump sum is the amount it would amount to if interest is earned and compounded at a certain interest rate.
The formula is
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- 1,500
FV - Future Value, - 15,000
n- number of period- 5=
r- yield to maturity ?
15,000 = 1,500× (1+r)^(5)
(1+r)^(5) =15,000/1,500 =10
(1+r)^(5) =10
1+r = 10^(1/5)
r= 10^(1/5) -1 = 0.5848
r = 0.5848 × 100 = 58.5%
r=58.5%
Yield to maturity = 58.5%
If the accountant forgets to adjust the Prepaid Expenses account, there will be:_____
A) an understatement of net income.
B) an overstatement of net income.
C) an overstatement of expense.
D) no under- or overstatement of net income.
Answer:
Option B, an overstatement of net income, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “B” is correct because when the prepaid expenses occur then it is recorded in the balance sheet on the asset side and the cash will be reduced by the same amount. However, if the prepaid expenses have not been adjusted then it will show the overstatement of net income because cash has been gone so actual cash will be lower than the recoded cash. Thus, option B is right.
Which statement is true of employee empowerment? A) Managers should ensure that employees are not linked to resources outside the organization, such as customers. B) Jobs must be designed to give employees the necessary latitude for making a variety of decisions. C) Employee empowerment shifts the recruiting focus away from cognitive and interpersonal skills toward general technical skills. D) Employee empowerment prevents holding employees accountable for the products and services they developed. E) Proper training must be provided only to supervisors so that they can exert their wider authority.
Answer:
B) Jobs must be designed to give employees the necessary latitude for making a variety of decisions.
Explanation:
The employee empowerment aims to provide resources and skills necessary for employees to have freedom and make their own decisions.
The organizational structure of a company will directly influence how employees are motivated or not to make certain decisions. In companies with a horizontal organizational structure, which is more flexible, there is an incentive for employees to make their decisions, which is a process that encourages innovation, engages employees, makes employment more motivating and valued, reduces response time of a decision and makes the decision-making process less bureaucratic and rigid.
Which of the following is true regarding externalities? Group of answer choices Externalities can only be corrected with government regulation. Externalities always involve external costs. Externalities occur when the actions of an individual or group spill over onto others, without their consent. Externalities generally enhance the rate of economic growth.

Explanation:
By definition, an Externality is the effect of an action by an individual or group that spills over onto third parties without their consent.
Externalities can be either negative or positive. A positive externality for instance would be bees from a bee farm pollinating flowers in the environment.
A negative externality would be air pollution from China for instance contributing to global warming effects experienced in Northern Africa.
The usefulness of standard goods market price indexes for judging policy is limited because:
Answer:
they do not include the price of assets.
Explanation:
Standard Goods Market Price Index often shortened as SGMPI is a term that describes a standard mode of measuring price index, which is used to illustrates the price position of only goods in comparison to other top competitive goods in similar classifications and brands.
Hence, in this case, the usefulness of standard goods market price indexes for judging policy is limited because: "they do not include the price of assets."
