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?

Answers

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

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

Answers

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.

Tri-Coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$0.56

Explanation:

Tri-coat paints has a current market value of $41 per share

They also have an earning of $3.64

The required return is 9%

= 9/100

= 0.09

Therefore, the present value of its growth opportunities can be calculated as follows

= $41-($3.64/0.09)

= $41-40.44

= $0.56

Hence the present value of its growth opportunities is $0.56

Portage Bay Enterprises has $1 million in excess​ cash, no​ debt, and is expected to have free cash flow of $11 million next year. Its FCF is then expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year forever. If Portage​ Bay's equity cost of capital is 10% and it has 4 million shares​ outstanding, what should be the price of Portage Bay​ stock?

Answers

Answer:

=$55.25

Explanation:

Value of Equity= FCF / (k - g)

value of equity=$11/(10%-5%)=$220  million

total value of the firm(all equity)=value of equity+cash

value of equity=$220 million+$1 million

share price value=value of total equity/shares outstanding

share price value=$221 million/4 million=$55.25

Alternatively:

Value of equity=$11/(1+10%)^1+$11*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)/(1+10%)^1=$220 million

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

Answers

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%

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.

Answers

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.

Required: Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,770 units of activity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Total cost___________

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

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

Answers

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.

The required investment cost of a​ new, large shopping center is ​$49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be ​$20 million​ (the value of the​ land). The​ project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be ​$14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15​% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile​ venture?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.

Explanation:

Let the minimum annual revenue = X

Therefore,

The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows

X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)

Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.

X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)

X(5.847) = 130.858

X = 130.858 / 5.847

X = 22.38 millions

The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

Greater pricing power is most likely to result from greater:A. unused capacity.B. market concentration.C. volatility in market share.

Answers

Answer:

B. market concentration

Explanation:

The answer is that greater pricing power is most likely to result from greater market concentration because this means that there are few competitors in the market which allows to have more power to establish prices.

The other options are not right because unused capacity indicates that there is a lot of competition in the market which doesn't allow to have the power to establish prices and volatility in market share means that there is not a  firm position in the market that allows to have greater pricing power.

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

Answers

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

Answers

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.

The labor cost to produce a certain item is $8.50 per hour. Job setup costs $50 and material costs are $20 per unit. The item can be purchased for $88.50 per unit. The learning rate is 90 percent. Overhead is charged at a rate of 50 percent of labor, materials, and setup costs.

Required:
a. Determine the average unit cost for 20 units, given that the first unit took 5 hours to complete.
b. What is the minimum production quantity necessary to make production cost less than purchase cost?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Setup cost =$50

Material cost = $20

= $20×$20

= $400

Purchased cost = $88.50

Learning rate (P) = 90%

Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 20 units is

= 5×14.608

= $73.04

The value 14.608 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 20 units at the rate of 90% is 14.608. Hence, the labor cost for the production of 20 units will be calculated using the following method.

Cost of labor for production of 20 units

= 8.50×73.04

= $620.84

Hence,

In the problem, it has been given that the overhead cost is 50% of the labor material, and setup cost. Hence,

= 50/100 (620.84+50+400)

= 0.5×(1070.84)

= $535.42

Hence total cost

$535.42 +$1070.84

=$ 1606.26

Hence, the cost of production of 20 units is calculated by the following method.

= $1606.26÷20

=$80.313

Therefore, the unit cost is $80.313/unit.

Ans B:

The minimum production quantity important to make the production cost less than the purchase cost is calculated by the trial-and-error method. Now, let's take average unit cost when the 10 units are produced.

Setup cost =$50

Material cost = $20

= $20×$10

= $200

Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 10 units is

=5×7.994

= $39.97

The value 7.994 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 10 units at the rate of 90% is 7.994. Therefore, the labor cost for the production of 10 units will be calculated by the following method.

The cost of production of 20units

8.50×7.994×5

= $339.745

The rate of economic growth per capita in France from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in Korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same. 1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP. Use the rule of 72. 2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP. Use the rule of 72. 3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045? 4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The rule of 72 refers the time period in which your investment which you invest should be doubled

So based on the rule of 72, the computation is shown below:

1. doubling time for France per capita real GDP is

= Rule of 72 ÷ rate

= 72 ÷ 1.9

= 37.89 years

2. Doubling time for Korea per capita real GDP is

= Rule of 72 ÷ rate

= 72 ÷ 4.2

= 17.14 years

3. France per capita real GDP in year 2045 is

= Per capita read GDP × (1 + growth rate)^time period

= $28,900 × 1.019^42

= $63,710.88

4. Korea  per capita real GDP in year 2045 is

= Per capita read GDP × (1 + growth rate)^time period

= $12,700 × 1.042^42

= $71,490.43

The time period 42 comes from

= 2045 - 2003

= 42 years

A newly formed firm must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favor local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $172 in either case.

Annual fixed costs ($ millions) $1.0 $1.1
Variable cost per unit $30 $45
Expected annual demand (units) 9800 11,625

Using the above information, determine what the profit would be for Kansas City.

Answers

Answer:

Profit for Kansas City = $376,375

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                           Omaha               Kansas City

Expected annual demand (units)        9,800                  11,625

Annual fixed costs                         $1,000,000          $1,100,000

Variable cost per unit $30 $45       $294,000             $523,125

Total cost                                       $1,294,000           $1,623,125

Revenue                                        $1,685,600          $1,999,500

Profit                                                 $391,600             $376,375

From the above differential analysis, it appears that locating in Omaha would be better and more profitable than locating in Kansas City for the company.  This is based on the fact that more profit ($15,225) will be generated with Omaha location than locating in Kansas City.

"A customer has an existing short margin account with credits of $16,000 and a short position in ABC stock worth $10,000. The SMA in the account is $1,000. If the market value of ABC falls to $9,000, the equity is:"

Answers

Answer:

Equity= $7,000

Explanation:

A customer has an existing short margin account that contains credit of $16,000

The short position in ABC stock is worth $10,000

The SMA in the account is $1,000

Therefore, if the market value of ABC falls down to $9,000 then, the equity can be calculated as follows

Equity= $16,000-$9,000

=$7,000

Hence the equity is $7,000

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.

Answers

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.
