Answer:
ABC Co. and XYZ Co.
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50
Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50
Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)
Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $53,000/$475,000 x 100
= 11.16%
Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $29,250/$237,500 x 100
= 12.32%
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%
WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt
= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%
= 0.0558 + 0.05
= 0.1058
= 10.58%
Explanation:
ABC:
Equity = $475,000
Expected EBIT = $53,000
Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%
XYZ:
Equity = $237,500
Debt = $237,500
Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750
EBIT = $53,000
Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)
Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%
RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.
ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.
ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.
Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2018:
Allister Barone
Inventory $530,000 $330,000
Sales 1,060,000 860,000
Investment income not given
Cost of goods sold 530,000 430,000
Operating expenses 245,000 315,000
Allister acquired 70 percent of Barone in January 2017. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $70,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a 4-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2018, Barone sells inventory costing $126,000 to Allister for $172,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end. Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2018:
Amounts
Inventory
Sales
Cost of goods sold
Operating expenses
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of inventory, sales, cost of goods sold, Operating expenses and Net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following calculations
Unrealized profit on inventory = ($172,000 - $126,000) × 10%
= $4,600
Customer list amortization = $70,000 ÷ 4
= $17,500
Inventory = $530,000 + $330,000 - $4,600
= $855,400
Sales = $1,060,000 + $860,000 - $172,000
= $1,748,000
Cost of goods sold = $530,000 + $430,000 + $4,600 - $172,000
= $792,600
Operating expenses = $245,000 + $315,000 + $17,500
= $577,500
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest = 10% × ($860,000 - $430,000 - $315,000 - $4,600 - $17,500)
= 10% × $92,900
= $9,290
Suppose selected comparative statement data for the giant bookseller Barnes & Noble are presented here. All balance sheet data are as of the end of the fiscal year (in millions).
2020 2019
Net sales $5,200 $5,500
Cost of goods sold 3,484 3,830
Net income 78 123
Accounts receivable 82 103
Inventory 1,146 1,262
Total assets 2,990 3,510
Total common stockholders’ equity 992 1,031
Required:
Compute the following ratios for 2020.
Answer:
Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%
Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6
Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%
Return on common stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%
Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%
The wage rate for all units of labor is $10/hr. You have spent $160,000 on developing a production process (Process X) that will allow you to produce 8 units for every unit of labor. If you use this production process, the accounting profits will cover the initial investment within 6 months. If you use your normal production process (not Process X), you can produce 10 units for every unit of labor. Both processes are fully scalable, so the marginal product of labor is fixed for any reasonable amount of labor you could hire. Based on this information, what should you do?
Answer:
The normal production process should be followed.
Explanation:
The normal process should be used because when it uses the process “X” then the marginal productivity of labor (MPL) is 8 units and the wage of labor is $10 per hour. Secondly, when it uses a normal production process then the marginal productivity of labor is 10 units and the wage rate is the same that is $10 per hour. Therefore, the normal production process is giving the greater marginal productivity of labor, accordingly this process should be followed.

Star Supplies, Inc. manufactures commercial-grade floor cleaners, such as vacuums and floor polishers. The firm has recently begun manufacturing other janitorial-related product lines, such as paper products and chemical cleaners. Star Supplies distributes its products in two ways. It sells its vacuum, floor polisher, and janitorial supply products to an independent business that takes title to the products and then sells them to various small businesses throughout the region. Also, Star has a list of large businesses that it distributes to directly, on an as-needed basis. These businesses keep very little inventory and purchase janitorial supplies in small quantities. Recently, Star has decided to add two new service product lines-paper shredding and a uniform rental service. Clint Rodriguez, the marketing manager, is conducting a meeting to discuss the ways in which Star can strategically manage these new businesses. Star has the choice of marketing the paper shredding service to their large business clients, by picking up the paper as they drop off the other janitorial supplies, or they can buy a small paper shredding business and market to both large and small business customers. With regard to the uniform rental service, Star can either pick up and deliver the uniforms to the small businesses themselves, or contract that out to a third party.
Refer to scenario Currently, Star is using the ____ approach to distributing its janitorial supplies to its large customers.
A. intensive
B. just-in-time
C. segmented
D. outsourcing
E. exclusive
Answer:
B. just-in-time
Explanation:
Just in time (JIT) is an inventory management approach that is used by companies that want to reduce their inventory costs and they purchase their materials in smaller quantities whenever their productive system needs them. The goal is to keep the lowest possible inventory levels.
Martin works as a pizza delivery person.He parks his bike outside Regalia Inc.to deliver an order.Meanwhile,a damaged book rack in Regalia,which is situated on the first floor of the building,falls down through an open window and crashes on his bike.However,no one admits to having seen the rack fall.Can Martin recover against Regalia for negligence?
A) Martin can recover only if he finds a witness who saw the book rack crashing on the bike.
B) Martin can recover if he can prove that book racks do not fall out of windows in the absence of negligence and that Regalia Inc. had exclusive control of the rack prior to the fall.
C) Martin will be unable to recover because parking under an open floor window amounts to contributory negligence and he is therefore liable for the accident too.
D) Martin will be unable to recover because parking under an open window amounts to assumption of risk.
Answer:
B) Martin can recover if he can prove that book racks do not fall out of windows in the absence of negligence and that Regalia Inc. had exclusive control of the rack prior to the fall.
Explanation:
Negligence is defined as a situation where a person does not take due care and conduct oneself like a reasonable person in a given circumstance.
When a defendant is negligent he will be held responsible for damage that results from his negligence.
In this scenario Martin's parked his bike and makes a delivery, meanwhile a book rack falls on his bike.
Martin's can only recover against Regalia if he proves that he was not negligent in any way, and that Regalia had control of the rack before the fall.
For example if Martins did not park his bike in a designated parking spot, he can be seen to be negligent. In that case he will not be able to recover against Regalia.
Potential output: $8 trillion Actual output: $6 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 400 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2010
Answer:
The structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$400 billion = G - (0.15)($6000 billion)
$400 billion = G - $900 billion
G = $400 billion + $900 billion
G = $1300 billion
Thus, Government spending is $1300 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(8000 billion)
T' = $1200 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $1300 billion - $1200 billion
Structural deficit = $100 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 51,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 51,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:
Incremental cost of making RX5:
Always remember that the direct costs are always incremental cost because these are the variable cost and will not be incurred if the decision is not taken related to making of the product RX5.
Incremental Cost of Making RX5:
Direct Material ($4 * 51,000 Units) $204,000
Direct Labor ($8 * 51,000 Units) $408,000
Variable Overheads ($9* 20% * 51,000 Units) $91,800
Total incremental cost of making 51000 units $703,800
Requirement 2:
Incremental Cost of Buying RX5:
Purchase Cost ($19 per Unit * 51,000 Units) $969,000
The total incremental cost of making 51000 units is $969,000
Requirement 3:
The Cost of buying is higher than making RX5, hence the company should Make RX5.
Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.
What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115
Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods
PV of interest =
115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89
Step 3:Price of the bond
Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36
Price of the bond = $4,122.36

What is the payback period of a project with average annual cash outflows of $8,000, average annual cash inflows of $10,000 and an initial investment of $13,000
Answer:
It will take 3 years and 219 days to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= 13,000 - 8,000= $5,000
Initital investment= $13,000
The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment:
Year 1= 5,000 - 13,000= -8,000
Year 2= 5,000 - 8,000= -3,000
Year 3= 5,000 - 3,000= 2,000
To be more accurate:
(3,000/5,000)*365= 219 days
It will take 3 years and 219 days to cover for the initial investment.

An officer of a company has acquired shares of that issuer in the open market. If the officer wishes to sell the shares:
Answer: C. II and III
Explanation:
As the shares were acquired by the officer on the open market, they are considered Control Stock. Sale of Control Stock falls under the purview of Rule 144 of the SEC that governs the sale of restricted, unregistered, and control securities so a Form 144 will need to be filed with the Sec making III correct.
Furthermore, control stock are not subject to a holding period requirement so option II is correct as well. Option C is therefore the best answer.
When a deliverable arrived, Craig met with the team member responsible
for ordering the deliverable to confirm it was the correct model and size.
Which of the following project elements was Craig monitoring in this scenario?
a. Budget
b. Schedule
c. Scope
d. Risk
Answer:
Project Element Craig Monitored in this scenario:
d. Risk
Explanation:
The element of the project that Craig monitored ensures that the deliverable conforms with the correct model and size because there is the risk that this could not conform if a deliverable was not not checked with the team member who ordered the deliverable. Since higher risks of deliverables not conforming to model and size would render the whole project unsuccessful, Craig has to meet with the team member responsible. In order words, the meeting between Craig and the team member for confirmation of correct model and size eliminates the risks of non-conformance.
In the example above when deliverable came and Craig met with the team member for ordering confirming whether the model and size was correct, Craig was monitoring Risk. So the correct option is D.
Risk refers to the possibility chances that the desired or the expected result will be obtained from the activities that are undertaken. Risk is directly related to the reward of such activity.
In the example above where Craig confirms whether the model and size of goods arrived were correct with the help of the team member who ordered such deliverable, risk was being monitored.In this case the risk can be denoted by value of 1 as the chances of getting the correct model and size are equal with chances of getting the incorrect model and size. Risk can be denoted by beta .[tex]\rm Risk = \beta[/tex]
Monitoring of risk is an important aspect so as to ensure whether the activities undertaken for the benefit of the business are standing true to their efforts or not.
Hence, the correct option is D that Craig was monitoring risk by checking the deliverable was correct in terms of model and size with the help of a team member.

Suppose a shortage in materials results in decrease in the supply of golf balls in the United States of 5%. If the elasticity of demand of golf balls sold in the US is -0.8, the new equilibrium price will be
Answer:
price elasticity of supply (PES) = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
PES = -0.8% change in quantity supplied = -5%-5% = -0.8 / % change in price
% change in price = -0.8 / -5% = 16%
we are not given the initial price of the golf balls and I looked for similar questions but couldn't find any. But assuming that the initial price is $1, then the new price = $1 x (1 + 16%) = $1.16. If the initial price was $2, then new price = $2 x (1 + 16%) = $2.32. And son on.

Use the following information to calculate the dollar cost of using a money market hedge to hedge 200,000 British pounds of payables due in 180 days. Assume the firm has no excess cash. Assume the spot rate of the pound is $2.02, and the 180-day forward rate is $2.00. The British interest rate is 5 percent, and the U.S. interest rate is 4 percent over the 180-day period.
Answer:
The dollar cost of using a money market hedge to hedge 200,000 British pounds of payable due in 180 days is $400,152.38.
Explanation:
A money market hedge refers to a method that employed to to preserve the value of a foreign currency transaction in the domestic currency of a company in order to reduce the exchange rate or currency risk that is associated with business transactions with a foreign company.
For this question, the dollar cost of using a money market hedge can be calculated as follows:
Amount needed to invest in British pounds = Amount needed to hedge / (1 + British interest rate) = £200,000 / (1 + 0.05) = £190,476.19
Since this is in British pounds, we have to convert to the US dollars to obtain the amount of the US dollars that is needed to exchange as follows:
Amount needed to invest in the US dollars = Amount needed to invest in British pounds * Spot rate of the pound = £190,476.19 * $2.02 = $384,761.90
We can now calculate the amount needed to repay loan after 180-day as follow:
Amount needed to repay loan after 180-day = Amount needed to invest in the US dollars * (1 + U.S. interest rate) = $384,761.90 * (1 + 0.04) = $400,152.38
Therefore, the dollar cost of using a money market hedge to hedge 200,000 British pounds of payable due in 180 days is $400,152.38.

d. Enter
Answer:
Given that Mattie could convincingly threaten to always fight, Irene's best response would be:
d. Enter
Explanation:
Irene Dairy should enter the market despite Mattie's threat to always fight. If Irene Dairy does not enter the market out of fear of Mattie's threat to fight, other firms are likely to enter and share the market with Mattie. Mattie should never be given the privileges of a monopolist. Irene Dairy should ensure that its ice creams are of higher quality and sustain the fight with Mattie, which cannot forever shed its profits in the name of fighting a competitor.
Innovation efforts of the firm often benefit from partnering with non-business entities such as universities and government agencies.
A. True
B. False

What is the internal rate of return of a project costing $3,000; having after-tax cash flows of $1,500 in each of the two years of its two-year life; and a salvage value of $800at the end of the second year in addition to the $1,500 cash flow
Answer:
Internal rate of return = 16.3%
Explanation:
The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero
If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation
If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
Step 1 : Calculate NPVa at 10%
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial cost
PV of cash inflow = 1500× ( 1- 1.1^(-2))/0.1=2,603.31
PV of salvage value = 800× 1.1^(-2) =661.16
NPV = 2,603.31 + 6,661.16 - 3000= 264.46
Step 2 :Calculate NPVb at 20%
PV of cash inflow = 1500× ( 1- 1.2^(-2))/0.2=2291.67
PV of salvage value = 800× 1.2^(-2) =555.56
NPV =2291.67 + 555.56 - 3,000 = -152.78
Step 3 : Calculate IRR
IRR = 10% + (264.46/(264.46+152.78))× (20-10)%= 16.3%
Internal rate of return = 16.3%
Dustup, a cleaning products company, was trying to revive its old wood floor waxing product. It began offering an augmented service of a small brochure called "Ask a Wood Floor Expert" to its bottles. The brochure included information and a customer support hotline. However, shoppers removed the brochure from bottles in the store, so few bottles were purchased. At the same time, Dustup began receiving a flood of calls to its hotline. This increased Dustup’s costs 30% over projections. What question did the company forget to ask before launching its add-on?
Answer:
Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.
Explanation:
The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.
The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.
Cheers!
White says, “We live in a world where success is defined by income.” Do you agree with this statement? Discuss examples in your life that support or negate this idea.
Answer:
yes i agree coz nowadays even in my family, the outsiders give more respect and praise my big brother as he earns big income
The decision that could be made regarding the statement that "In the modern world, income has turned equivalent to success" would be:
Yes.
The reason to agree with this statement is due to the increased importance that the modern world has provided to money.For example, a person is considered successful only when he earns a handsome amount while a person with a lower or average income but greater satisfaction level is considered unsuccessful. However, there is also a saying that "money can't buy happiness" which suggests that people can be sad even after having money and vice versa.Thus, it depends on the individual's perception and the way they equate success with happiness or material possessions.Learn more about "Income" here:
