Since the 1980s and 1990s, segmentation in global financial markets has been reduced. As a result of this, the correlation among securities markets has increased, thereby reducing, but not eliminating, the benefits of international portfolio diversification. True or Worse

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

With the on-going drive towards Globalization, companies took advantage to raise more capital by listing across various stock exchanges in the world. The result of this became that the securities market became more correlated.

This had the advantage of granting many companies enough capital that they became Multinational companies but it had the disadvantage of reducing the benefits of international portfolio diversification because the companies would be able to influence the movement of stock across the nations that they are listed in. Where before you could trade in Japan if there were losses in the NYSE, with a company being on both and suffering, both exchanges would feel it.

A project will reduce costs by $38,500 but increase depreciation by $18,300. What is the operating cash flow if the tax rate is 35 percent?

Answers

Answer:

$31,430

Explanation:

A project will reduce costs by $38,500

The project will have an increased depreciation of $18,300

The tax rate is 35%

= 35/100

= 0.35

Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Operating cash flow= reduction in project cost×(1-tax rate)+(increase in the depreciation amount ×tax rate)

= $38,500×(1-0.35)+($18,300×0.35)

= $38,500×0.65+6,405

= $25,025+$6,405

= $31,430

Hence the operating cash flow is $31,430

Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.

Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond= $75,075.58  

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 the bond for Akers Company  can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000

Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 =  5% per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

3000  × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 =  37,386.63  

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) =  37,688.95  

Price of bond  

Price of bond =  37,386.63   + 37,688.95   =  75,075.58  

Price of bond= $75,075.58

Gabriel Industries stock has a beta of 1.12. The company just paid a dividend of $1.15, and the dividends are expected to grow at 4 percent. The expected return on the market is 11.4 percent, and Treasury bills are yielding 3.8 percent. The most recent stock price is $85. (a) Calculate the cost of equity using the dividend growth model method. (b) Calculate the cost of equity using the SML method. (c) Why do you think your estimates in (a) and (b) are so different?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of cost of equity using the dividend growth model method is shown below:-

Expected Dividend = Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)

= $1.15 × (1.04)

= $1.196

Current Stock Price = $85

Cost of Equity =  (Expected dividend ÷ Current stock price) + growth rate

= (1.196 ÷ 85) + 0.04

= 0.05407

or

= 5.41 %

b. The computation of cost of equity using the SML method is shown below:-

Using CAPM, Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta × (Market return - Risk free rate)

= 3.8 + 1.12 × (11.4 - 3.8)

= 12.31%

c. Since there are two different methods like SML and dividend growth model for determining the cost of equity so the estimates are so different

A government bond with a coupon rate of 5% makes semiannual coupon payments on January 12 and July 12 of each year. The Wall Street Journal reports the asked price for the bond on January 27 at $1,004.375. What is the invoice price of the bond? The coupon period has 182 days.

Answers

Answer:

invoice price (dirty price) = $1,006.435

Explanation:

semi-annual coupon = $1,000 x 5% x 1/2 = $25

clean price = $1,004.375

accrued interest = (Jan. 27 - Jan. 12) x $25 x 1/182 = $2.06

invoice price (dirty price) = clean price + accrued interest = $1,004.375 + $2.06 = $1,006.435

the dirty price or invoice price of a bond includes any accrued interest that the bond may have earned in the period between the last coupon payment and the transaction date.

Media Bias Inc. issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 35-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return 5 % Inflation premium 4 Risk premium 4 Total return 13 % Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 25 years remaining until maturity.

Answers

Answer:

remaining time to maturity 25 years, annual coupon

face value $1,000

when the bonds were issued, the market interest rate was 13%, which was identical to the coupon rate, therefore, the bonds were sold at par

now, 10 years later, the market interest rate is 12% (1% less), so the current market price is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 12%)²⁵ = $58.82

PV of coupon payments = $130 x 7.8431 (PV annuity factor, 25 periods, 12%) = $1,019.63

bond's current market price = $58.82 + $1,019.63 = $1,078.45

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Every municipal bond that is purchased at premium is subject to straight line depreciation, whether the premium be trading premium or original issue premium.

Here the premium is 5 points = 105 - 100

Which shall be amortised over its useful life of 10 years.

Thus, for each year 1/2 point is amortised without allowing any tax deduction.

Thus, after 4 years total amortisation = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 4years = 2[/tex]

Thus, value at end of year 4 = 105 - 2 = 103 basis point.

Further the selling amount = 105 basis point.

Thus, 105 - 103 = 2 basis point shall be taxable.

Annual demand for a product is 13,000 units; weekly demand is 250 units with a standard deviation of 40 units. The cost of placing an order is $100, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.65 per unit.a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

Answers

Answer:

a. Reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Explanation:

a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?

This can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of optimal order quantity

The optimal order quantity also known as economic order quantity (EOQ) using the following formula:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 *D*O}{C} }[/tex] ........................................... (1)

Where,

EOQ = Optimal order quantity = ?

D = Annual demands = 13,000

O = Ordering cost = $100

C = Carrying cost of annual inventory = $0.65 per unit

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*13,000*100}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2,600,000}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{4,000,000}[/tex]

EOQ = 2,000 units

Step 2: Calculation of standard deviation during the lead time

This can be calculated using the following formula:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{L*(S)^{2} }[/tex] ................................................. (2)

Where;

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = ?

L = Lead time = 4

S = Standard deviation = 40

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4 *(40)^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4*1,600}[/tex]

[tex]SL =\sqrt{6.400}[/tex]

SL = 80

Also, z = 2.05 from the standard normal distribution

Step 3: Calculation of reorder point

Total calculate reorder point, we use the following formula:

R = (d * L) + (z * SL) ............................................ (3)

Where;

R = Reorder point = ?

d = Weekly demand = 250

L = Lead time = 4

z = 2.05

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

R = (250 * 4) + (2.05 * 80)

R = 1,000 + 164

R = 1,164 units

Therefore, reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

ISS = Initial safety stock = z * SL = 2.05 * 80 = 164

If the safety stock is reduced by 100 units, we have:

NSS = New safety stock = ISS - 100 = 164 - 100 = 64

The new z (nz) can be obtained as follows:

NSS = nz * SL ................................................. (4)

Where;

NSS = 64

nz = new z = ?

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (4) and solve for nz, we have:

64 = nz * 80

nz = 64 / 80

nz = 0.80

For the new z, nz = 0.80, from Standard Normal distribution, the new service probability is 79%.

Therefore, the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Now  

Purchase Price of the Bond is

= 100,000 - 4000

= 96,000

Now

First interest :

Cash interest = 100,000 × 3% = 3,000

interest Revenue = 96,000 × 3.5% = 3,360

So,

Discount Amortized is

= 3360 - 3,000

= 360

And,

Carrying Value of the Bond should be

= 96,000 + 360

= 96,360

For Second YEar

Calculation for Orleans’s net U.S. tax liability

Using this formula

Tax liability=Taxable income×U.S tax rate

Let plug in the formula

Tax liability=$2,000,000×21%

Tax liability=$420,000

Therefore Orleans’s net U.S. tax will be $420,000. The withholding tax amount of $8,000 was not included because it was already imposed on the dividend.

If a company uses straight-line depreciation, the annual average investment can be calculated as: (Check all that apply.)

Answers

Answer: beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

(the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

(beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation is simply when an asset begin to wear and tear and thereby its value is reduced.Straight line depreciation is calculated when the difference between the cost of an asset and the expected salvage value is divided by the number of years it is projected to be used.

Using this method, the annual average investment can be calculated as:

• beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $4,596 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.50 hours $8.80 per hour $4.40

Actual direct labor hours= 1,200

Variable manufacturing overhead costs during March totaled $15,161.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 15,161/1,200= $12.63

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  (8.8 - 12.63)*1,200

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $4,596 unfavorable

What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $6,450 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Contribution margin= $75

The marketing manager believes that a $7,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 190*75 - 7,800

Effect on income= $6,450 increase

Consider a university that purchases replacement chairs for its classrooms. The purchasing manager knows that the annual demand for replacement chairs is 500.

What is the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity?
A. $1,000
B. $866
C. $500
D. $200

Answers

Answer:

b. $866

Explanation:

Annual demand from the question = D = $500

the ordering cost = S = $200

then the cost of carrying H = $15

we have to calculate the economic order quantity

= sqr(2*D*S)/H

= sqr(2 x 500 x 200)/25

= sqr(13333.3333)

this equals 115.469

which is approximately 115.5

next we have to calculate inventory ordering cost

= (D * S)/EOQ

= 200 *500/115.5

= 865.5

When approximated becomes $866

The inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

First step is to calculate the Economic order quantity

Economic order quantity =√(2×D×S)/H

Where:

D=Annual demand=$500

S=Ordering cost=$200

H=Holding cost =$15

Let plug in the formula

Economic order quantity =(2 x 500 x 200)/15

Economic order quantity =√200,000/15

Economic order quantity =√13333.3333

Economic order quantity =115.46

Economic order quantity = 115.5 (Approximately)

Second step is to calculate the inventory ordering cost using this formula

Inventory ordering cost= (Annual demand× Ordering cost )/Economic order quantity  

Let plug in the formula

Inventory ordering cost= (200×500)/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=100,000/115.5

Inventory ordering cost=$865.8

Inventory ordering cost=$866 (Approximately)

Inconclusion the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

Answer:

The AW value of the defender is:________ $15,729.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Defender                                                Challenger

Current MV                    $39,000           Purchase price            $50,000

Annual expenses             $1,600           Annual expenses           $1,000

Remaining useful life      6 years           Useful life                     10 years

MV at end of useful life  -$1,500           MV at end of useful life $7,000

Investment = $39,000 + $2,300           Investment = $50,000 + $5,000

= $41,300                                                = $55,000

Present Value = ($41,300 +                   Present Value = ($55,000 +

$1,600 x 2.951)  = $46,021.60               $1,000 x 3.571) = $58,571

$46,022 + $393 ($1,500 x .262)            $58,571 - $749 ($7,000 x .107)

Equivalent Annual Cost                         Equivalent Annual Cost

= $46,415/ 2.951                                     = $57,822/3.571

= $15,729                                                = $16,192

The robots' Equivalent Annual Costs (or Average Weighted Value) are the total costs of owning, operating, and maintaining the robots for 6 years and 10 years respectively.  For the old robot, additional cost of $1,500 will be incurred to retire the asset, while the new robot will have a salvage value of $7,000.  These are factored into the equivalent annual costs, after discounting them to their present values.

Whenever an existing piece of equipment is considered for replacing by a new piece of equipment, the old piece is referred to as the defender, and the new piece of equipment is referred to as the challenger.  

The AW value of the defender is------------$15,729.
