Answer:
c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party
Explanation:
Since Company X uses crude oil, the company buys the swap to hedge in the swap market, so option A is not appropriate because it buys the swap, which pays the counterparty when the spot price falls below $ 25. so correct option is c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter partyIf a project has a cost of $10,000, expected net cash flows of $1500 a year for 12 years and you use a discount rate of 6%,
1. What is the following:
a. Payback period (no application of discount rate)
b. Payback period (using discount rate)
c. NPV
d. IRR
2. Should the project be accepted?
3. If another project has a cost of $10,000 and has expected life of 8 years and it will generate $3000 a year should you accept the project if your boss says the cost of capital is 5%?
Answer:
1a, 6.67 years
b. 8.9 years
c. NPV = $2,575.77
d. IRR = 10.45%
2. it should be accepted
3. it should be accepted.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = $10,000 / $1500 = 6.67 years
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
discounted cash flow in year 1 = $1500 / 1.06 = $1415.09
discounted cash flow in year 2 = $1500 / 1.06^2 = $1,334.99
discounted cash flow in year 3 = $1500 / 1.06^3 = $1,259.43
discounted cash flow in year 4 = $1500 / 1.06^4 = $1,188.14
discounted cash flow in year 5 = $1500 / 1.06 ^5 = $1,120.89
discounted cash flow in year 6 = $1500 / 1.06^6 = $1,057.44
discounted cash flow in year 7 = $1500 / 1.06^7 = $997.59
discounted cash flow in year 8 = $941.12
please check the attached image on how the discounted payback period was calculated
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $1,500
I = 6%
NPV = $2,575.77
IRR = 10.45%
The project should be accepted because the NPV is positive, this indicates that the project is profitable. Also, the IRR is greater than the discount rate, so the project should be accepted.
to determine if the project should be accepted, the NPV of the project should be determined.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $3,000
I = 5%
NPV = $13,165.20
the project should be accepted because the NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Problem 11-5 Sensitivity Analysis and Break-Even [LO1, 3] We are evaluating a project that costs $560,400, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 80,000 units per year. Price per unit is $38, variable cost per unit is $24, and fixed costs are $680,000 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. a-1. Calculate the accounting break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a-2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point
Answer:
a-1. $1,845,714.29
a-2 8.2805
Explanation:
a-1 Calculate the accounting break even point.
At break even point, the net income is 0.
Given the data below as extracted from the information above;
Quantity Q = 80,000 units
Price per unit P = $38
Unit variable cost VC = $24
Fixed costs FC = $680,000
Tax rate = 22%
• Break even point
= Fixed costs / P - VC
= $680,000 / ($38 - $24)
= $680,000 / $14
= 48,571.43
Therefore, accounting break even
= Q × P
= 48,571.43 × $38
= $1,845,714.29
(a-2) What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break even point.
Given that;
Fixed costs = $680,00
Asset investment = $560,400
Project life span = 6 years
Depreciation = Asset investment / Project life span
= $560,00 / 6
= $93,400
Please note that at accounting level, the operating cash flow is equal to depreciation,
Operating cash flow = Depreciation = $93,400
Therefore, the degree of operating leverage is;
= 1 + Fixed costs / Operating cash flow
= 1 + $680,000 / $93,400
= 8.2805
Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?
Answer:
The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%
Explanation:
Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence
$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20
(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
Taking 10th root at each side,
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]
1+r = 1.1597
r = 1.1597 - 1
r = 0.1597
r= 15.97%
The budgeted conversion costs for a just-in-time cell are $244,720 for 3,800 production hours. Each unit produced by the cell requires 45 minutes of cell process time. During the month, 2,100 units are manufactured in the cell. The estimated materials cost is $50 per unit.

Explanation:
Journals serve multi-purposes for the initial recording of business transactions. They also play important roles for period-end and other adjustments. Journals come in hand for closing entries of transactions. Importantly, they identify the accounts that are debited and credited respectively. There are many kinds of journals for various purposes, from the general to so many of the specialized kinds. We can even use journal entries to record exchange of quantities, not only dollar amounts, as demonstrated above.
a project that will last for 8 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $97,900. If the required return is 7.6 percent, what maximum initial cash flows of $97,900
Question:
MC algo 5-28 Calculating NPV A project that will last for 8 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $97,900. If the required return is 7.6 percent, what maximum initial investment would make the project acceptable?
Multiple Choice $516,751.56 $571,237.51 $1,026,395.85 $482,301.46 $550,008.71
Answer:
PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5
Explanation:
The maximum initial investment amount to be paid is the present value of the series of the annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 7.6% per annum.
In other words,the maximum to be paid for the investment should be equal to the value today of the series of eight equal annual cash flow of $97,900 discounted at 7.6%
This is given in the relationship below:
PV of cash inflow = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )
A- equal annual cash - 97,900. r-rate of return - 7.6%, n-number of years- 8
PV = 97,900 × ( 1 - (1+0.076)^(-8)/0.76)= 571,237.5
PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5
Determine fixed cost, F; average variable cost, AVC; average cost, AC; marginal cost, MC; and average fixed-cost, AFC. The fixed cost function (F) is
Answer:
Fixed Cost Function = Average Cost - Average Variable cost
Explanation:
A fixed cost is the one which does not changes with the level of production. These cost are irrelevant to number of units production. It is not affected by the units produced and sold. The change in fixed cost does not affect the marginal cost. The marginal cost is the variable cost that is incurred by producing one more unit. These costs are affected by the level of production.
an investment under consideration has a payback of six years and a cost of 876000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the worst-case NPV?
Answer:
-43291.14
Explanation:
Npv = net present value
Payback = 6 years
Required return = 12 percent
Cost = 876000
When we talk about last case npv we mean that cash flow has gotten to its last future. The entire cost of 876000 will have to be paid after 6 years and after that future cash flows would exist.
Npv = -876000 +(876000/1.12)⁶
= -876000+443808.86
= = -43291.14
ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.
Requried:
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
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.

The master budget of Sheffield Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected: Indirect labor$730000 Machine supplies200000 Indirect materials220000 Depreciation on factory building120000 Total manufacturing overhead $1270000 A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of
Answer:
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First, we need to separate the variable overhead and the fixed overhead:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor 730,000
Machine supplies 200,000
Indirect materials 220,000
Total variable overhead= $1,150,000
Fixed overhead:
Depreciation on factory building $120,000
Now, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead:
unitary variable overhead= 1,150,000/50,000= $23
Finally, the total overhead for 60,000 units:
Total overhead= 23*60,000 + 120,000
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?
Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

In the consensus case, what is Amazon's enterprise value on the valuation date using the exit multiple terminal value
Answer:
The exit multiple expect that the market different premise is a reasonable strategy for esteeming a business. The estimation of the business is gotten by duplicating money related measurements, for example, EBITDA or EBIT by a factor that is basic to practically identical organizations that were as of late procured. A fitting scope of products can be created by taking a gander at late equivalent acquisitions in the open market.
The various acquired is then increased by the anticipated EBIT or EBITDA in year N (last year of projection period) to give the future incentive toward the finish of year N. The future value (otherwise called terminal value) is then limited by a factor equivalent to the quantity of years in the projection time frame.
The worth got is then added to the current estimation of the free incomes to acquire the suggested venture esteem. For repetitive organizations where profit vacillate as per varieties in the economy, we utilize the normal EBITDA or EBIT over the span of the particular recurrent as opposed to the sum in year N in the projection time frame.
This implies an industry different is applied as opposed to applying a current numerous to consider the recurrent varieties of profit. On the off chance that investigators utilized a current numerous, the valuation would be influenced by financial cycles.
A Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is used to value a business by dividing its enterprise value by its annual revenue. The formula to calculate the Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is EV/Revenue
EV = Enterprise Value
EV can be denoted as (Equity Value + All Debt + Preferred Shares) – (Cash and Equivalents)
While Revenue = Total Annual Revenue
This can be calculated when we have a share price, shares outstanding, debt, and cash or its equivalence.
You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.

Red Sun Rising just paid a dividend of $2.43 per share. The company said that it will increase the dividend by 15 percent and 10 percent over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 4.1 percent. If the required return is 11.5 percent, what is the stock price today
Answer:
P0 = $39.76
Explanation:
The dividend discount model or DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (1+r)^2 +
[ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) * (1+g3) / (r - g3)) / (1+r)^2 ]
Where,
g1 is the growth rate in the first year which is 15% g2 is the growth rate in the second year which is 10% g3 is the constant growth rate which is 4.1% r is the required rate of return P0 is the stock price today
P0 = 2.43 * (1+0.15) / (1+0.115) + 2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.115)^2 +
[ (2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.041) / (0.115 - 0.041)) / (1+0.115)^2 ]
P0 = $39.76

A company had the following purchases during its first year of operations: Purchases January: 18 units at $128 February: 28 units at $138 May: 23 units at $148 September: 20 units at $158 November: 18 units at $168 On December 31, there were 58 units remaining in ending inventory. These 58 units consisted of 10 from January, 12 from February, 14 from May, 12 from September, and 10 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$8,584
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory can be calculated by multiplying the remaining units of the given month by their purchase cost in the following month
DATA
Total remaining units n ending inventory = 58 units
10 from January at $128
12 from February at $138
14 from May at $148
12 from September at $158
10 from November at $168
Calculation
January = 10 x $128 = $1,280
February = 12 x $138 = $1,656
May = 14 x $148 = $2,072
September = 12 x $158 = $1,896
November = 10 x $168 = $1,680
Cost of ending inventory = $8,584

The Vice-President of ACME Corporation, an NYSE listed firm, places an order to buy 10,000 shares of ACME common at the market. 3 months later, ACME stock's price has increased by 20% and the officer places an order to sell. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: D. The officer must forfeit the profit on the sale
Explanation:
The Vice-president of ACME who is the one attempting to sell is an officer of ACME and as such falls under Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a control person.
This Act is meant to curb market manipulation and so it places restrictions on some activities by officers of a company. One of which is that for the seller to claim any profits on such sales, they would have to had held the stock for at least 6 months so that they do not have a "short swing" profit. If they do so, they are to pay the profits accrued back to the Issuer of the stock so indeed, the officer must forfeit the profit on the sale.
