A customer buys $100,000 of a new issue 30 year U.S. Government bond at 80. At maturity, the customer will have:

Answers

Answer: No capital gain or loss

Explanation:

The bonds were bought at discount but will be redeemed at par. This does not mean that there will be a capital gain because the discount will simply be added back to the value of the bond overtime.

When the bond then gets to maturity, the discount would simply have been added back because the bond is to be redeemed at par. Because the bond was always going to be redeemed at par, the difference in price is not considered a capital gain.

For the month of January, the company planned for activity of 156 births, but the actual level of activity was 163 births. The actual wages and salaries for the month was $82,141. The wages and salaries in the flexible budget for January would be closest to:______.a. $82,141.b. $108,711.
c. $109,151.
d. $108,630.
e. $104,202.

Answers

Answer:

$81,630

Explanation:

Cost formula for the wages and salaries = $3,390 per Month + $480 per Birth

Where;

Planned number of activity = 156 births

Actual level of activity = 163 births

Therefore, the wages and salaries in the flexible budget for January is calculated below;

= ($3,390 * 1) + ($480 * 163)

= $3,390 + $78,240

= $81,630

Answer:

Total cost= $81,630

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Tulip Midwifery's cost formula for its wages and salaries is $3,390 per month plus $480 per birth. The actual level of activity was 163 births.

The flexible budget will show the standard costs and actual activity.

Flexible budget:

Total cost= 3,390 + 480*163

Total cost= $81,630

Ford Motor Company had realized returns of 5​%, 15​%, −15​%, and −5​% over four quarters. What is the quarterly standard deviation of returns for​ Ford?
a. 32.86​%.
b. 24.65​%.
c. 30.12​%.
d. 27.39​%.

Answers

Answer: 12.91%

Explanation:

The mean is;

= (5% + 15% - 15% - 5%)/4

= 0

Standard deviation = √((∑(Return-mean)^2)/[time period-1])

= (√((5-0)^2 + (15-0)^2 + (-15-0)^2 + (-5-0)^2)/ (4 -1))

= √((25% + 225% + 225% + 25% ) / 3 )

= √(500/3)

= 12.91%

Dean brings up the ambiguity branch managers at First National Bank face. He believes senior leadership needs to make the managers' most important priorities clear. This thinking most closely resembles which principles?

Answers

Answer:

Functional Principles

Explanation:

When it comes to proper organization in businesses, there are several principles that should be adhered to in order to achieve proper functioning. The functional principle indicates that the roles of every person in a department, be it managers or subordinates, must be properly explained to them in order to achieve smooth operations in the business.

When roles and responsibilities are properly explained, each person becomes aware of the expectations from him at every point in time. This in turn allows for efficiency in the discharge of duties. So, when Dean explains that the role of the manager should be properly explained, he is making reference to the functional principle.

Lee Industry sales are $525,000, variable costs are 53% of sales, and operating income is $19,000. What is the contribution margin ratio?

Answers

Answer:

47%

Explanation:

Lee industry have a sale of $525,000

Variable cost is 53% of sales

= 53/100 × $525,000

= 0.53×$525,000

= $278,250

The operating income is $19,000

The first step is to calculate the contribution margin

Contribution margin= sales-variable cost

= $525,000-$278,250

= $246,750

Therefore the contribution margin ratio can be calculated as follows

= contribution margin/sales

= $246,750/$525,000

= 0.47 × 100

= 47%

Hence the contribution margin ratio is 47%

Reeve has worked as an administrator with employer-sponsored health insurance at Big Company for 10 years and has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition. An offer for a great job at Up and Coming Company with great opportunities for advancement, although it pays slightly less, has been extended to Reeve. Up and Coming has health insurance, but the insurance coverage excludes any preexisting health condition for six months. Reeve says that taking the job at Up and Coming would make continuing health insurance from Big Company unaffordable. Up and Coming wants Reeve to start immediately. What would you advise Reeve to consider?

Answers

Answer:

What would common sense tell me? To stay at Bog Company since my health is much more important than any possible great job.

The problem is simple, if Reeve quits his current job, he will not be able to afford health expenses for at least 6 months until the new employer policy kicks in. Besides the risk of dying, a serious heart condition may cost tens of thousands of $, or even more in 6 months. What is even worse, is that Reeve's starting salary in the new company is slightly lower, so he will have even less money if any health problems occur. Also, if he gets very ill, his dream job will be over. Even if they do not fire him, his chances of advancement will reduce dramatically.

Sometimes a great opportunity is not worth the risk.

1. Stock Values. Integrated Potato Chips paid a $2 per share dividend yesterday. You expect the dividend to grow steadily at a rate of 4 percent per year. a. What is the expected dividend in each of the next 3 years? b. If the discount rate for the stock is 12 percent, at what price will the stock sell? c. What is the expected stock price 3 years from now? d. If you buy the stock and plan to hold it for 3 years, what payments will you receive? What is the present value of those payments? Compare your answer to (b).

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

a. Expected dividend in each of the next 3 years is

Dividend in year 1 = Current Dividend × (1 + growth rate)

= 2 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.08

Dividend in year 2 = Dividend in year 1 × (1 + growth rate)

= 2.08 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.1632

Dividend in year 3 = Dividend in year 2 × (1 + growth rate)

= 2.1632 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.249728

b Price the stock will sell

Current Price = Dividend in year 1 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)

= 2.08 ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)

= 26

c. Expected Price 3 years from now  is

Price in Year 3 =  Dividend in year 4 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)

= [2 × (1 + 0.04)^4] ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)

= 2.33971712 ÷ 0.08

= 29.246464

d. The present value of payments received is

Year       Dividend ÷ Price   PVF at 12%  Present Value of Dividend ÷ Price

0                    2                              1  

1 Dividend    2.08             0.892857143               1.857142857

2 Dividend  2.1632           0.797193878               1.724489796

What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale

Answers

Answer:

Economies of scale: occur when total costs for the firm go down as the firm increases output. This is why in some industries, large firms are more profitable that small firms.

Constant returns to scale: the property that occurs when increasings in factors or production (labor, capital) lead to the same increase the amount of goods or services produced.

Diseconomies of scale: this is the opposite to economies of scale. Occurs when firms experience higher costs due to larger production. They mostly occur due to coordination issues that arise when firms become to large to manage well.

In a new margin account, if a customer buys 300 XYZ at 48 and simultaneously writes 3 XYZ Jan 50 calls at 1, the Regulation T margin requirement is

Answers

Answer:

$7,200

Explanation:

Calculation for what the Regulation T margin requirement is

Since we were told that the customers buys 300 XYZ at 48 this means that the Regulation T margin requirement will be:

Regulation T margin requirement =(300 × 48)×50%

Regulation T margin requirement =$14,400×50%

Regulation T margin requirement =$7,200

Therefore the Regulation T margin requirement is $7,200

What needs would you strive to satisfy on the job? Why? What role would your manager play in helping you satisfy these needs?

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanations below

Explanation:

Need is what one requires or basic necessity that bring survival.

According to Abraham Maslow, there are five basic needs of human beings which are arranged according to how they are valued. They are physiological, security, social, esteem and self actualization.

The needs I would strive to satisfy on the job are security, physiological and social needs. This is because once my job is safe, then my survival is fine because my job is what provides money for me to fend for myself. Another need is physiological need such as having time to rest, have clothing, food and shelter etc. If I have job security, then my physiological needs will be met while I should be able to interact or have relationship with people within my immediate environment ; which is my social need.

Before a manager could play any role in helping me satisfying these needs, the manager must first identify what my needs on the job are, after which he can motivate me so that I can perform at a higher level. Also, for optimal performance, my manager must be able to align my interest, including my team member's interest to that of the organization.

The Herfindahl index and the concentration ratio fail to give a complete picture of an economy's competitiveness because:

Answers

Answer:

many corporations are conglomerates, spanning a variety of different industries.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

they measure each firm's share of sales rather than each firm's share of profits.

many corporations are conglomerates, spanning a variety of different industries.

they don't account for mergers within an industry.

they are based on market share, not market size.

The Herfindahl index and the concentration ratio are measures used to determine the concentration ratios of firms in an industry

The of concentration ratio is calculated by adding the market shares of firms in the industry. e.g. the four firm concentration ratio calculates the concentration ratio of the 4 largest firms in an industry by adding their market shares together

The HHI is calculated by squaring the market share of each firm in the industry.  

Because these measures only measure the concentration of firms in a particular industry, they do not account for conglomerates that exist in different industries

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 41 percent common stock, 4 percent preferred stock, and 55 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 17 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 6.5 percent, and the pre-tax cost of debt is 8.3 percent. What is the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 33 percent?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 10.29%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below;

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= 0.55 × 8.3% × (1 - 0.33) + (0.04 × 6.5%) + (0.41 × 17%)

= 3.058% + 0.26% + 6.97%

= 10.29%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 10.29%

TRV is expecting to purchase a new manufacturing line. It is expected to cost 119,000 and will require an additional 12,000 to set-up. It will generate $25,000 annually for the next 5 years. What is the modified internal rate of return if the cost of capital is 12% and the expected rate on reinvestments is equal to 8%?

Answers

Answer:

2.28%

Explanation: Given the following :

Expected cost = 119,000

Additional cost = 12,000

Cash Inflow = $25,000

Number of years = 5 years

Cost of capital = 12%

Reinvestment rate = 8%

The Modified Internal rate of return is used to evaluate the yield on an investment over a certain period of time. The Modified Internal rate of return is similar to the internal rate of return, however, the difference between the lies in the fact that MIRR takes into account that profit accrued each year is reinvested at a steady rate called the Reinvestment rate.

MIRR can be calculated using excel or the online calculators by taking into account the value range, the financing rate and the Reinvestment rate.

Using the Omni MIRR calculator :

Cash inflow of 25,000 over 5 years

Reinvestment rate of 8%

Financing rate of 12%

Total initial investment of (119,000 + 12000) = 131,000

MIRR value = 2.28%

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 134 shares of Stock A that sell for $44 per share and 114 shares of Stock B that sell for $34 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)

Answers

Answer:portfolio weights -A=0.6034; B=0.3966

Explanation:

Total value of stock A = no. of shares * market value per share

= 134 x $44= $5,896

Total  value of stock B = 114 x $34 = $3,876

Weight of stock A = Total value of stock A / ( Total  value of stock A+Total M value of stock B)

= 5,896/ (5896+3,876 )

=  5,896/9,772

= 0.6034

Weight of stock B =Total value of stock B / ( Total  value of stock A+Total value of stock B)   OR 1 - Weight of stock A

=3,876 / (5896+3,876 )

=3,876 //9,772

= 0.3966

OR 1-0.6034 =0.3966
