The debt-to-equity ratio for your small business was 1.40 at the end of last year and 1.25 at the end of this year. Your debt-to-equity ratio is:_________
Answer:
debt-to-equity ratio is 1.33 .
Explanation:
Given the debt equity ratio at the beginning and at end of the year, we can estimate the debt equity ratio of a company as the average of the two.
Average debt-to-equity ratio = (1.40 + 1.25) ÷ 2
= 1.325 or 1.33
A negative supply shock, such as the OPEC oil price increases of the early 1970s, can be illustrated by a shift to the ______________ of the short-run aggregate supply curve and a shift _________________ of the short-run Phillips curve.
Answer: Leftward; upwards.
Explanation: A Supply shock is a term used to describe the sudden and unexpected change in the supply of a given product or commodity usually indicated by the leftward shift if the shock is negative in the aggregate supply curve and an upward change in direction in the Phillips curve both on the short run. Both curves are used to demonstrate graphically the impacts of shifts in supply for a given product or commodity.
Crane Company distributes to consumers coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers for discounts on certain products of Crane. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Crane. In Crane's experience, 50% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Crane receives it. During 2018 Crane issued two separate series of coupons as follows:
Issued On Total Value Consumer Expiration Date Amount Disbursed as of 12/31/18
1/1/18 $510000 6/30/18 $234000

Liability pending on Dec. 31, 2018 $60,000
IBM just paid a dividend of and expects these dividends to grow at % a year. The price of IBM is per share. What is IBM's cost of equity capital?
Question
The question is incomplete. The complete version is given below:
IBM just paid a dividend of $3.5 and expects these dividends to grow at 7% a year. The price of IBM is $100 per share. What is? IBM's cost of equity? capital?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Explanation:
Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The dividend valuation model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is the cost of equity.
The cost is the minimum rate of return that ordinary shareholders are willing to accept considering the opportunity cost of their capital
Cost of equity (Ke) =( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g
DATA
Ke- ?
D0- 3.5
P-100
g-7%
Ke= 3.5×(1.07)/100 + 0.07 = 0.10745
Ke- 0.10745 × 100 = 10.7%
Cost of equity = 10.7%
ABC Corporation has the following information: Total market value of a company’s stock: $650 million Total market value of the company’s debt: $150 million Cost of Equity: 10% Cost of Debt: 8% Corporate tax rate is 35 percent What is the WACC of ABC Corporation?
Answer:
WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%
Explanation:
WACC = Kd * (1+T) * Debt/Debt+Equity + Ke * Debt/Equity
Kd = Cost of debt
T = Corporate tax rate
WACC = 0.08*(1-0.35)*(150m/150m+650m) + 0.10*(650m/150m+650m)
WACC = 0.08 *0.65*0.1875 + 0.10*0.8125
WACC = 0.00975 + 0.08125
WACC = 0.091
WACC = 91%
Therefore, the WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%
On January 2 2018, Maxwell Furniture purchased display shelving for $8,100 cash, expecting the shelving to remain in service for five years. Maxwell depreciated the shelving on a double-declining-balance basis, with $1,800 estimated residual value. On October 31, 2019, the company sold the shelving for $2,700 cash.
Requirement:
Record both the depreciation expense on the shelving for and its sale in . Also show how to compute the gain or loss on the disposal of the shelving.
Answer: Please find answers in explanation column
Explanation:
Double declining depreciation rate = 1/n x 2
= 1/5 x 2= 2/5 = 0.4 x 100 = 40 %
Carrying value = if depreciation rate = 40 % , then begining value = 100-40=60%
Depreciation expense for 2019 = Carrying value x depreciation nrate x period(jan- oct) = $8,100 x 60% x 40% x 10/12 = $1,620

Treasury bonds paying an 8% coupon rate with semiannual payments currently sell at par value. What coupon rate would they have to pay in order to sell at par if they paid their coupons annually? (Hint: What is the effective annual yield on the bond?)
Answer:
8.16%
Explanation:
current yield = bond's value x (1 + semiannual interest rate)ⁿ
in this case:
bond's value = $1,000 (we choose the value)semiannual interest rate = 8% / 2 = 4%n = 2 semiannual couponscurrent yield = $1,000 x (1 + 4%)² = $1,000 x 1.0816 = $1,081.60
in order for a bond that pays an annual coupon to be sold at the same value, it must yield the same return = ($1,081.60 - $1,000) / $1,000 = 8.16%

Sonic, Inc. is planning to produce 2,500 units of product in 2016. Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at $6 per pound and a half hour of labor at $16 per hour. The overhead rate is 75% of direct labor.
Required:
a. Compute the budgeted amounts for 2016 for direct materials to be used, direct labor, and applied overhead.
b. Compute the standard cost of one unit of product.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 2,500
Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at $6 per pound and 0.5 of labor at $16 per hour. The overhead rate is 75% of direct labor.
First, we need to calculate the total cost for direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead:
Direct material= (3*2,500)*6= $45,000
Direct labor= (0.5*2,500)*16= $20,000
Manufacturing overhead= 20,000*0.75= $15,000
Total cost= $80,000
Now, the unitary cost:
unitary cost= 80,000/2,500= $32
You are the newly assigned project manager to a major IT upgrade project in your global company. How will you determine the risk tolerances associated with your project
Answer:
I have to identify the risk factors in the project and then gauge the willingness of the company to take such risks.
Explanation:
Risk tolerance is the willingness of an organization or an individual to take certain risks. The risk tolerance level of a person or organization can be classified as either high or low. For a project manager who wants to determine the risk tolerances associated with his project, he has to first identify the risk factors, and then try to know the risk level and if indeed this level is acceptable within the organization's culture and standard.
The project manager would do well to plot a graph that would show the probability of a risky action happening or not. A risk tolerance line is now obtained from where the project manager can know if that risk is tolerable by organization standards. The extent of job security would also help in determining the amount of risk a manager can take. However, they are still expected to stay within the standards of the organization.
A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. If 150,000 tons of ore are mined during the first year, the journal entry to record the depletion is:_______.
a. Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Natural Resources $93,750.
b. Debit Cash $112,500; credit Natural Resources $112,500.
c. Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
d. Debit Cash $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
e. Debit Depletion Expense $112,500; credit Accumulated Depletion $112,500.
Answer:
Option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The depletion expense or charge for the period can be calculated using the following formula,
Depletion expense = [(Cost - Salvage Value) / Total units expected to be mined] * Units mined during the period
Depletion expense = [(1500000 - 250000) / 2000000] * 150000
Depletion expense = $93750
The entry to record the expense is,
Depletion expense 93750 Dr
Accumulated depletion 93750 Cr
So, option c is the correct answer.

TB MC Qu. 6-63 Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses ... Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $23,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $78,000
Answer:
Net operating income= $26,140
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $23,000
The contribution margin ratio is 63%.
Sales= $78,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= contribution margin ratio*sales
Contribution margin= 0.63*78,000
Contribution margin= 49,140
Net operating income= 49,140 - 23,000= $26,140
A newly issued 20-year maturity, zero-coupon bond is issued with a yield to maturity of 8% and face value $1,000. Find the imputed interest income in: (a) the first year; (b) the second year; and (c) the last year of the bond’s life.
Answer:
First Year $ 17.17
Second Year $ 18.53
Last Year $ 74.08
Explanation:
Computation to Find the imputed interest income in: (a) the first year; (b) the second year; and (c) the last year of the bond’s life
Imputed Interest
First step
Using this formula
Imputed interest=(Present Value /1+Yield to maturity)^Numberd of years
Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n
0 20 (1/1.08)^20= $ 214.54
1 19 (1/1.08)^19=$ 231.71
2 18 (1/1.08)^18=$ 250.24
19 1 (1/1.08)^1=$ 925.92
20 0 (1/1.08)^0=$ 1,000
Second step is to find the Imputed interest for the first year, second year; and the last year of the bond’s life
Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n =Imputed Interest
0 20 $ 214.54
1 19 $ 231.71 $17.17
($231.71-$214.54)= $17.17
2 18 $ 250.24 $18.53
($250.24-$231.71)=$18.53
19 1 $ 925.92
20 0 $ 1,000 $74.08
($1,000-$925.92) =$74.08
Therefore the imputed interest will be:
First Year $ 17.17
Second Year $ 18.53
Last Year $ 74.08

Explanation:
Three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that the equilibrium price will ________ and the equilibrium quantity will ________.
Answer: higher; lower
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that there will be a rise in the equilibrium price while there will be a reduction in the equilibrium quantity.
This is because when one producer leaves, there will be less supply of the good that is sold, this will eventually lead to a rise in price.

A customer owns a long-term negotiable CD. If the customer wishes to tender the CD prior to maturity, the registered representative should inform the customer that:
Complete Question:
A customer owns a long-term negotiable CD. If the customer wishes to tender the CD prior to maturity, the registered representative should inform the customer that:
A. a prepayment penalty will be charged
B. he or she will receive par value of the principal plus accrued interest
C. the CD may not be redeemed prior to maturity
D. the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest
Answer:
D. the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a customer owns a long-term negotiable certificate of deposit (CD). If the customer wishes to tender the CD prior to maturity, the registered representative should inform the customer that the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest.
Generally, in the stock markets when a customer wishes to withdraw his or her funds on any brokered CD, there are no penalties for such actions or choice. The registered representative should pro-rate the amount of interest earned by the customer over the period of time for the deposit.
McConnel corporation has bonds on the market with 16.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.7 percent, a par value of 1000 and current price of 1065. The bonds make semiannual payment and have a par value of $1,000.Required:What must the coupon rate be on these bonds?
Answer:
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n)= 16.5 * 2 = 33
r or YTM = 7.7% * 1/2 = 3.85% or 0.0385
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Using the bond price formula and the available values, we calculate the coupon rate to be,
1065 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.0385)^-33) / 0.0385] + 1000 / (1+0.0385)^33
1065 = x * (18.50739407) + 287.4653284
1065 - 287.4653284 = x * 18.50739407
777.5346716 / 18.50739407 = x
x = 42.012 rounded off to $42.01
If the semi annual coupon payment is $42.01, the annual coupon payment will be 42.01 * 2 = $84.02
The coupon rate on bonds is = 84.02 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Henry, a new human resources coordinator, has been asked to calculate the past month's turnover rate. He has divided the number of people who have left the company during that month (11) by the number of employees hired
(10), and then multiplied that by 100. But the number he
has come up with, 110 percent, is way too high and
doesn't make any sense. What should have Henry done
to avoid his error?
He should have multiplied the cost to
terminate by the cost per hire.
He should have multiplied by 10, not 100.
He should have divided the number of
employees hired by the cost to hire them.
He should have divided the number of people
who have left the company by the average
number of employees that month.
Answer:
he should have multiplied by 10, not 100

You own a stock portfolio invested 30 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 20 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .95, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.30, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Portfolio beta = 1.1075
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in portfolioPortfolio beta = 0.30 * 0.95 + 0.25 * 1.12 + 0.25 * 1.13 + 0.20 * 1.30
Portfolio beta = 1.1075
If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?
Explanation:
Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs FoundationPsychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.Hope it will help you.I would answer some questions honestly but if there are some questions which i can't tell the truth i will tell some lies. because if u really like this job and don't want to loose it, it's ok to give wrong answers just for once! That's my opinion. :p. But be careful u might get in trouble if they find out ur lying!
Under the principles of agency law, any sale of goods by a salesperson in a store to a customer can be binding on the owner of the store. True False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Under Agency Law in relation to employment, the salesperson is acting as an agent of the owner of the store and as such is their representative. As their representative, it is assumed that whatever they are selling is from the Owner whom they represent and as such can be binding on the owner.
This is why the Agent must act in the best interest of the owner because the owner could be held negligent for the actions of their agents. For instance, a salesperson will not be sued for a faulty equipment that caused harm but the store can.
IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:
Answer:
The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings
Explanation:
Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80
Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50
Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.
Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90
You purchased a machine for $1.19 million three years ago and have been applying straight-line depreciation to zero for a seven-year life. Your tax rate is 40%. If you sell the machine today (after three years of depreciation) for $724,000, what is your incremental cash flow from selling the machine?
Answer:
The incremental cash flow is $706,400
Explanation:
Calculation of Depreciation for 3 years
Depreciation = Cost / Useful years
= $1,190,000/7
= $170,000
Depreciation up to 3 years = $170,000 * 3
= $510,000
Calculation of Book value
Book value = Cost - Deprciation up to 3 years
= $1,190,000-$510,000
= $680,000
Profit on sale of assets = Sales value - Book value
= $724,000 - $680,000
= $44,000
Incremental Cash flow = Sales value - (Profit on sales of asset * Tax rate)
= $724,000 - $44,000 * 40%
= $724,000 - $17,600
= $706,400
Therefore, the incremental cash flow is $706,400
You are considering an investment in software company. The beta of software companies is 1.5. The annual risk-free rate is 2% and the annual market premium is 8%. The expected annual profit from the software subscription is $100,000 and it is expected to grow at the rate of 6% per year. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay for the company? A. $1,370,925.78 B. $1,250,000.00 C. $1,123,221.12 D. $908,153.55
Answer:
Maximum price = $ 1,325,000
Explanation:
The maximum price to be paid for the company is the present value of the annual profit discounted at the rate of return on equity.
The return on equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
Ke= ?., Rf- 2%, Rm-Rf - 8%
Ke- 2% + 1.5× (8%)= 14 %
Price for the company can now be determined using the present value of the perpetuity formula with growth as follows:
The model is represented below:
