Gretta's portfolio consists of $700,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.2 and $300,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a. The required return on the market is 10%.
b. The portfolio's required return is less than 11%.
c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
d. If the market risk premium remains unchanged but expected inflation increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
e. If the stock market is efficient, Gretta's portfolio's expected return should equal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

Explanation:

To prove the above option, the Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used.

Required Return = Risk free rate + portfolio beta(market premium)

Portfolio Beta

This the weighted average of the individual betas.

Total portfolio value = 700,000 + 300,000 = $1,000,000

= ( 1.2 * 700,000/1,000,000) + ( 0.8 * 300,000/1,000,000)

= 0.84 + 0.24

= 1.08

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5%)

= 6% + 5.4%

= 11.4%

Assuming risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%.

Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5% + 2%)

= 6% + 7.56%

= 13.56%

The change in required return

= (13.56% - 11.4%)/11.4%

= 18.9%

Proving that if the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.

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?

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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

loss from fire                              $12,000

Machinery                                                       $182,000

Workings

Cost =$178,000 + $2,480 + $1,160

Cost = $182,000

Accumulated depreciation = ([tex]\frac{182,000-14,000}{6}x5[/tex]

Accumulated depreciation = 140,000

Four companies were sued by customers for injuries sustained from faulty products. All four companies settled out of court for $400,000. For which of the following companies is this event the LEAST material?a. A company with assets totaling $36 billion.b. A company with assets totaling $40 billion.c. A company with assets totaling $15 billion. d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Answers

Answer:

d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the material impact of the lawsuit on each company, we must divide the settlement by total assets. In this case, we do not need to do the math, we simply have to select which company has the most assets. The more assets a company has, the lesser the material impact of any unfavorable settlement.

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.

Answers

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).

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

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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

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

Answers

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 maturity

Assuming 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

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.)

Answers

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%

b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%

Answers

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%

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∣∣.

Answers

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

As the leader of your newly formed 9-person team, one of your key concerns is that the team performs as a cohesive unit. Which of the following descriptions is most likely to indicate that your team is cohesive?
A. There is very little conflict between team members.
B. Team members prioritize the team’s goals over their own goals.
C. Whenever tackling a new team task, members typically divide into the same 3 subgroups.
D. Team members have no problem working independently or alone.

Answers

Answer:

b. Team members prioritize the team’s goals over their own goals.

Explanation:

Team cohesiveness is mostly seen in teams that perform highly. People in such teams are usually more likely to cooperate and they have an effective way of achieving their set objectives.

Team cohesiveness would have members of a team acting together rather than individually. It is an interpersonal relationship that is alive within members of the group and this pushes and motivates them to participate more and do what is necessary to achieve all of their objectives.

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

Answers

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.

On March 15, a fire destroyed Sheridan Company's entire retail inventory. The inventory on hand as of January 1 totaled $5900000. From January 1 through the time of the fire, the company made purchases of $2032000, incurred freight-in of $242000, and had sales of $4140000. Assuming the rate of gross profit to selling price is 20%, what is the approximate value of the inventory that was destroyed

Answers

Answer:

the approximate value of the inventory that was destroyed is $4,862,000.

Explanation:

Use the Gross Profit percentage to find the value of the inventory that was destroyed.

Sales                                                          $4,140,000

Less Cost of Goods Sold

Opening Inventory          $5,900,000

Add Purchases                $2,032,000

Add Freight In                     $242,000

Available                            $8,174,000

Less Inventory Lost         ($4,862,000)

Cost of Sales                                             (3,312,000)

Gross Profit at 20%                                    $828,000

Conclusion :

The Value of  inventory that was destroyed is $4,862,000.
