Dropping Product B will result in Total Operating Loss of $8,500. This means Richardson will be better off than what he was before. He should drop the product in this case.
Torque corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $1 in the upcoming year. dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year. the risk free rate of return is 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. the stock of torque corporation has a beta of 1.2. what is the return you should require on torque stock?a) 12%,
b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%
Answer:
The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)
r = 0.146 or 14.6%
Best Foods, Inc. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10 percent. The company generates EBIT of $4,250 per year and has a tax rate of 35 percent. If the firm adds $10,000 of debt to its capital structure, what is the value of the levered firm?
Answer:
The value of the levered firm $31,125
Explanation:
Value of Firm is the value of present value of expected future earning. It is calculated by dividing the earning after tax by the cost of capital while considering that the business will operate for the foreseeable future time.
EBIT $4,250.00
Less
Interest $0.00
EBT $4,250.00
Tax 35% x 4250 $1,487.50
EAT $2,762.50
Cost of Capial 10%
Value of firm = EAT / Cost of Capital = $2,762.5 / 10% = $27,625
Debt after tax = $10,000 x ( 1 - 0.35 ) = $6,500
Value of Equity = Value of firm - Debt after tax = $27,625 - $6,500 = $21,125
Value of debt = $10,000
Value of levered Firm = $21,125 + $10,000 = $31,125

9) Selected information regarding a company's most recent quarter follows (all data in thousands). 9) _______ Direct labor $540 Beginning work in process inventory $330 Ending work in process inventory $420 Cost of goods manufactured $1620 Manufacturing overhead $830 What was the cost of direct materials used for the quarter
Answer:
Direct material= $340
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $540
Beginning work in process inventory $330
Ending work in process inventory $420
Cost of goods manufactured $1620
Manufacturing overhead $830
To calculate the direct material used in production, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
1,620= 330 + DM + 540 + 830 - 420
Direct material= $340
"A small business owner of a firm that has 25 employees wants to establish a retirement plan and make contributions for her employees. What type of plan can the employer establish?"
Answer:
SEP IRA
Explanation:
For this type of company, the best type of plan would be a SEP IRA. This refers to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan and is a plan that is set up by an employer, with deductible contributions made by the employer themselves. The employer sets the actual contribution rate when creating the plan, and provides all employees the same contribution rate. The annual contribution of such an account is capped at $56,000 in 2019 and the individuals may withdraw the total amount of the account tax-free when they turn 59 1/2 years old.
You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Explanation:
The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n
Where,
r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturityAssuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%
Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,
n = 14 * 2 = 28
Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)
The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
Answer:
Option A is M2
Option B is M1
Option C is M2
Explanation:
The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.
M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.
Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.
M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.
Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

Aakash has a liability of 6000 due in four years. This liability will be met with payments of A in two years and B in six years. Aakash is employing a full immunization strategy using an annual effective interest rate of 5%. Calculate ∣∣A−B∣∣.
Answer:
∣A−B∣ = 586.411
Explanation:
The effective interest rate is 0.05 so at the end of a year total amount will be 1.05 multiplied by principal
Liability = 6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = Asset
Therefore
6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = (A ÷ 1.05^2) + (B ÷ 1.05^6) (equation 1)
Multiply through by 1.05^6
6000(1.05^2) = A(1.05^4) + B
B = 6000(1.05^2) - A(1.05^4) (equation 2)
Finding differential from equation 1
4= 2((A ÷ 1.05^2) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4)) + 6(B ÷ 1.05^6) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4))
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^4) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^2) +6 (B ÷ 1.05^6)
Multiply through by 1.05^6
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6B
Substitute value of B from equation 2
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6 *6000(1.05^2) - 6*A(1.05^4)
A= 2721.0884
Substitute A in equation 2
B = 6000(1.05^2) - 2721.0884(1.05^4)
B= 3307.5
∣A−B∣ = |2721.0884 - 3307.5|
∣A−B∣ = 586.411
5. Suppose that a firm is in an industry which has a very rapid rate of growth (in sales and output), and is characterized by technological change and innovation. Firms attempt to maximize profits causing new firms to enter the industry attracted by profit potential. The result is that profits are competed away, leading to even greater innovation and change. Is there a limit to this continuous change
Answer:
If we use high tech industry as our subject here, I would say that there is no limit to continuous change. We can look at he last 45 years and ever since Steve Jobs developed the Apple I, PCs have continuously evolved into different products and their rate of technological evolution has currently increased. Any modern smartphone is hundreds of times more powerful than the first PCs, they are even more powerful than huge computers that existed back then. Currently high tech companies are trying to develop AI, and who knows what after. The only problem is that project lives tend to be very short, but that is part of the game. The profit margins of the firms that are successful are huge, just look at how Apple became the first company to be worth more than 2 trillions.
Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
Answer:
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895
Explanation:
materials machine hours profit
standard size 0.125 kg 1/6 $10
oversize 0.4 kg 1/5 $15
constraints 80 kilograms of materials
40 hours of manufacturing
profit per machine hour:
standard size $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)
oversize $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
profit per kilogram of alloy:
standard size $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)
oversize $15 / .4 = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total manufacturing time = 40 hours
if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).
According to the producer price index database maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost of computer equipment fell 3.8 percent between January and December 2016.

2. Does Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both years before taxes and interest) to cover the cost of debt financing?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer:
A.
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
B. Yes
Explanation:
Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015
First step is to find the EBIT
EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $
Gross profit 44,500 58,400
Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)
EBIT 7,600 19,600
Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula
Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
Time interest earned 2016 2015
EBIT $7,600 $19,600
÷Interest expense $590 $520
=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7
Therefore the Time interest earned will be :
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
2. Yes Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both 2015 and 2016 before taxes and interest in order to cover the cost of debt financing.

Lucas Corp. has a debt-equity ratio of .8. The company is considering a new plant that will cost $115 million to build. When the company issues new equity, it incurs a flotation cost of 8.5 percent. The flotation cost on new debt is 4 percent.
A. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company raises all equity externally?
B. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company typically uses 55 percent retained earnings?
C. What is the initial cost of the plant if the company typically uses 100 percent retained earnings?
Answer:
$122,475,000; $119,489,600; $117,047,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of new plant = $115m
Debt to equity ratio =. 0.8
After issuing new equity:
Floatation cost incurred (equity) = 8.5%
Floatation on new debt = 4%
Calculating weighted return of debt and equity:
Debt: = [0.8/(1 + 0.8)] × 4% = 0.0178
Equity : [1 / (1+ 0.8)] * 8.5% = 0.0472
A) all equity raised externally:
Weighted average Floatation cost:
0.0178 + 0.0472 = 0.065
Initial cash flow will the be :
(1 + 0.065) * cost of new plant
1.065 * $115,000,000 = $122,475,000
B.) company uses 55% Retained earning:
Weighted return on equity will the be :
0.0472 * (1 - 55%) = 0.02124
Weighed Floatation cost = 0.02124 + 0.0178 = 0.03904
(1+0.03904) * $115,000,000 = $119,489,600
C.) Company uses 100% Retained earnings :
Equity return will be 0%
(1 + 0.0178) * 115000000
= $117,047,000
Which of the following refers to how companies remain in business? sustainability corporate social responsibility carbon footprint closed-loop supply chains economic sustainability
Answer:
Economic sustainability
Explanation:
Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital will be higher by 0.65% if it has to raise additional common equity capital.
Explanation:
By combining the WACC formula and retained earnings cost of capital,we will arrive at;
WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + Preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × Cost of capital
= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 12.4%
= 2.85% + 0.56% + 4.46%
= 7.87%
Also, using the same WACC formula and using common equity cost of capital, , we will arrive at the below;
WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × cost of capital
= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 14.2%
= 2.85% + 0.56% + 5.11%
= 8.52%
Therefore, increase cost using common equity over retained earnings is [ 8.52% - 7.87%]
= 0.65%
N.B we arrived at 4.92% for after tax by;
Pre tax 8.2%
Current tax rate 40%
= Pre tax × ( 1 - cost of debt)
= 8.2% × ( 1 - 40%)
= 8.2% × 0.6%
= 4.92%

Consider a project with a first cost (investment) of $250,000, an annual O&M cost of $50,000, annual revenue of $160,000, and a salvage value of $40,000 after a 10-year life. Find the annual worth of the project assuming an interest of 12% per year.
Answer:
$68,030
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of annual worth is shown below:-
Annual worth = -250,000 (A/P, 12%, 10) - $50,000 + $160,000 + $40,000 (A/F, 12%, 10)
= -$250,000 × 0.1770 - $50,000 + $160,000 + $40,000 × 0.0570
= -$44,250 - $50,000 + $160,000 + $2,280
= $68,030
So, the right answer is $68,030
