Answer:
the YTM is 9.38 %.
Explanation:
Bond Prices in most countries is expressed per $100. We shall use this as the Price for the bond in question.
Then the Yield to Maturity (YTM), r of the Bond can be determined as follows
Pv = - $103
pmt = ($100 × 9.80) ÷ 2 = $4.90
p/yr = 2
n = (14 - 2) × 2 = 24
Fv = $100
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Yield to Maturity (YTM), r is 9.38 %
A monopoly produces widgets at a marginal cost of $10 per unit and zero fixed costs. It faces an inverse demand function given by P = 50 - Q. What are the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium
A. $300.B. $400.C. $500.D. $600.
Answer: B. $400
Explanation:
Profit is maximised at point where Marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The Marginal revenue curve is below the demand curve for a monopolist and is double slopped compared to an inverse demand curve.
The expression for the Marginal Revenue is therefore;
MR = 50 - 2Q
MR = MC
50 - 2Q = 10
2Q = 50 - 10
2Q = 40
Q = 20
P = 50 - Q
=50 - 20
= $30
Total revenue = P * Q
= 30 * 20
= $600
Total cost.
= AC * Q
MC is given as a fixed number so can be considered as Average Cost
= 10 * 20
= $200
Profit = TR - TC
= 600 - 200
= $400
Based on the information given the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium
is: B. $400.
Given:
Marginal cost = $10 per unit
Fixed costs=0
P = 50 - Q
Hence:
MR = 50 - 2Q
MR = MC
50 - 2Q = 10
2Q = 50 - 10
2Q = 40
Q = 20
P = 50 - Q
P=50 - 20
P= $30
Total revenue = 30×20
Total revenue = $600
Total cost= 10 × 20
Total cost= $200
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Profit= 600 - 200
Profit= $400
Inconclusion the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium is: B. $400.

Question Completion:
A)Have no impact on the Net Cash from Operations as depreciation appears in both the Cash Flow and the Income Statement
B)Decrease Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
D)Just impact the balance sheet
Answer:
C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
Explanation:
When Andrews increases the depreciation charge of $3,144,267 to a higher amount, this will decrease the net operating income. In computing the adjustment to net income for non-cash expenses, the increased depreciation will automatically increase the net cash from operations because of the tradeoff effects. So, on the financial statements of Andrews, specifically on the Statement of Cash Flows, the increased depreciation expense or charge will positively increase the net cash from operating activities.

Most of the significant decisions in contemporary organizations are made under which decision-making condition?
Answer:
A state of uncertainty.
Explanation:
The state of uncertainty is a condition of decision making that can be defined as the risk associated with the manager of making an ineffective decision to solve the expected problem. This is due to the complexity of the current business environment, which ensures that there are inherent risks when making a decision, since there are many variables involved in the current competitive market whose manager does not have full knowledge, so uncertainty exists when making a complex decision.
What the manager can do to minimize uncertainty is to adopt an analytical thinking that gathers the available information and his experience so that risks are minimized, such as the use of statistical analysis and analysis of the variables involved in the decision-making process, to judge the least risky option and try to make the right decision.

Which of the following statements regarding early termination of a forward contract is most accurate?
A. Early termination through an offsetting transaction with the original counterparty eliminates default risk.
B. A party who terminates a forward contract early must make a cash payment.
C. A party who enters into an offsetting contract to terminate has no risk.
Answer: A. Early termination through an offsetting transaction with the original counterparty eliminates default risk.
Explanation:
A Forward contract is an agreement between two parties that obligates one party buying the asset that the seller will sell at a certain price and at a certain point in future.
If the contract is terminated early but there is an offsetting transaction which mirrors the contract obligation then that means that the obligation has been settled and so the default risk which is the risk that one party was not going to fulfil their obligation will be eliminated.
In most situations, the UCC uses the test of _____ for determining when a person is excused from performing contractual obligations.
Answer:
commercial impracticability.
Explanation:
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of comprehensive, codified, and modernized business laws that regulate commercial transactions and financial contracts across different state in the United States of America.
The U.C.C isn't a federal law, but a uniformly adopted state law with the sole aim and purpose to create uniformity of law across multiple court jurisdictions in the United States of America. It is called the backbone of American commerce because it has been adopted by all 50 states, in whole or in large part and thus, enhancing commercial transactions or business to thrive significantly.
In most situations, the uniform commercial code (UCC) uses the test of commercial impracticability for determining when a person is excused from performing contractual obligations.
Commercial impracticability can be defined as the inability to perform a contractual obligation or act based on terms that are considered to be reasonable in commerce.
Additionally, the cause of this inability to perform are typically unforseen or unanticipated.
Buzz is a product of the Baldwin company which is primarily in the Nano segment, but is also sold in another segment. Baldwin starts to create their sales forecast by assuming all policies (R&D, Marketing, and Production) for all competitors are equal this year over last. For this question assume that all 1128 of units of Buzz are sold in the Nano segment. If the competitive environment remains unchanged what will be the Buzz product’s demand next year (in 000’s)? Select: 1Save Answer 1128 1207 2572 1286
Answer:
1286
Explanation:
the following information is missing:
The marketing team makes a 14 percent growth forecastIf the competitive environment remains the same, then the sales forecast should equal actual demand + estimated sales increase:
actual demand = 1,128 units
estimated sales increase = 14%
sales forecast for next year = 1,128 + (14% x 1,128) = 1,128 + 157.92 = 1,285.92 ≈ 1,286 units
If you wish to have $60,000 in 8 years, how much do you need to deposit in the bank today if the account pays an interest rate of 9%
Answer:
PV= $30,111.98
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $60,000
Number of periods= 8
Interest rate= 9%
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Isolating PV:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 60,000 / 1.09^8
PV= 30,111.98

15. What total incremental cost will Martinez incur if it increases production from 11,000 to 11,001 units
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the complete question and accompanying data:
Martinez Company's relevant range of production is 8,500 units to 13,500 units. When it produces and sells 11,000 units, its unit costs are as follows:
Amount per Unit
Direct materials $7.00
Direct labor $4.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $5.00
Fixed selling expense $4.00
Fixed administrative expense $2.10
Sales commissions $1.10
Variable administrative expense $0.55
What total incremental cost will Martinez incur if it increases production from 11,000 to 11,001 units? (Round answers to 2 decimal places)
Answer
total incremental cost = $13.45
Explanation:
in the case of an increase in production quantity by 1 unit, (11,000 to 11,0001), only the variable costs will increase, because variable costs are those costs that increase as the unit of output/production increases.
The variable costs here are:
Direct material = $7.00
Direct labor = $4.50
variable manufacturing overhead = $1.40
variable administrative expenses =$0.55
Total incremental cost = 7.00 + 4.50 + 1.40 + 0.55 = $13.45
Therefore, total incremental cost = $13.45
Assume that the risk-free rate is 5% and the required return on the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.5?
Answer:
15.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for the required rate of return
Using this formula
Required return=Risk free rate +(Expected return-Free risk rate)×(Beta)
Let plug in the formula
Required return=0.05+(0.12-0.05)×(1.5)
Required return=0.05+(0.07)×(1.5)
Required return=0.05+0.105
Required return=0.155×100
Required return=15.5%
Therefore the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.5 will be $15.5%

Which of the following is likely to happen if the Fed buys Treasury securities from banks?a. interest rate rises; investment fallsb. interest rate rises; investment risesc. interest rate falls; investment risesd. interest rate falls; investment falls
Answer: c. interest rate falls; investment rises
Explanation:
The Fed buying treasury securities from banks is an expansionary policy when the government wants to increase the money in circulation and increase economic growth.
When the Fed buys Treasury securities from banks, this will lead to availability of funds as prices will be pushed higher and there will be a reduction in the interest rate.
Since there is reduction in interest rate, investment will increase as investors will borrow from banks.

Complete Question:
Coffee Carts has a cost of equity of 15.5%, has an effective cost of debt of 3.9%, and is financed 75% with equity and 25% with debt. What is the firm's WACC?
Answer:
The firm's WACC is:
= (0.75 * 0.155) + (0.25 * 0.039)
= 0.11625 + 0.00975
= 0.126
= 12.6%
Explanation:
CoffeeCarts Company's WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the average rate that the company is expected to pay to all its security holders (stockholders and debt holders) who financed its assets. We can calculate CoffeeCarts' WACC by multiplying the cost of each capital source (equity and debt) by its relevant weight, and then adding the products together. The weight is the proportional percentage of each class of finance source to the whole.

Answer:
1. Microeconomics
2. Macroeconomics
3. Macroeconomics
4. Macroeconomics
5. Microeconomics
6. Microeconomics
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be described as the study of the behavior of an overall economy. Macroeconomics studies issues that are related to the whole economy such as changes in unemployment, economic growth rate, national income, inflation, price levels, and gross domestic product (GDP).
On the other hand, Microeconomics can be described as the behavior of economic agents such as individuals and firms as regards their decision making relating the scarce resources allocation and the interactions among the economic agents.
Based on the above explanation, we can have the following categorizations:
1. A tax on tires increases the price of tires paid by car owners. This is Microeconomics because it concerns the behavior of individuals, i.e., car owners.
2. As a result of a severe recession, the total output gross domestic product of a nation falls by 4%.. This Macroeconomics because it concerns the gross domestic product which total values of goods produced in an economy.
3. Increased consumer spending causes the national unemployment rate to fall. This is Macroeconomics because it relates the national unemployment.
4. Increased consumer spending causes the rate of rate of inflation to rise. This is Macroeconomics because it relates an increase in inflation rate.
5. Optimism about future car sales leads General Motors to hire more auto workers. This is Microeconomics because it relates to the decision and action of a firm, i.e. General Motors.
6. Robotic technology reduces the demand for auto workers.This is Microeconomics because it relates to the decision and action of individuals, i.e. auto workers.
Based on the definitions of microeconomics and macroeconomics, the statements below fall under:
Macroeconomics:
2. As a result of a severe recession, the total output gross domestic product of a nation falls by 4%. 3. Increased consumer spending causes the national unemployment rate to fall. 4. Increased consumer spending causes the rate of inflation to riseMicroeconomics:
1. A tax on tires increases the price of tires paid by car owners.5. Optimism about future car sales leads General Motors to hire more auto workers.6. Robotic technology reduces the demand for auto workers.Macroeconomics relates to issues that affects the economy as a whole as opposed to a single industry or firm. A decrease in GDP, issues regarding national unemployment and inflation rising are therefore macroeconomic as they affect the entire economy.
Microeconomics on the other hand, relates to issues affecting an industry or only a single entity. This is why the other entries are microeconomics as they relate to a single industry.

Answer:
At the end of the year, the company's equity totaled: $25,000
Explanation:
The company earned $35,000 of revenues and incurred $23,000 of expenses.
Net income = Revenue - Expenses = $35,000 - $23,000 = $12,000
Retained earnings of the company = Net income - Cash dividend = $12,000 - $2,000 = $10,000
At the end of the year, the company's equity = Anthony Lupa's invested + Retained earnings = $15,000 + $10,000 = $25,000
In an organization, project managers report directly to the head of a PMO. In this case, which statement is probably not true
Answer:
Projects will be run by the functional organization and project managers expedite change control.
Explanation:
A project management office or PMO is a department within an organisation that is tasked with maintaining the standard of project management. They also make sure there is economies of repitition in project execution (ensure success of projects is replicated).
In the given scenario if project managers report to the head of a PMO it means that the project management team is independent of the functional organisation.

If an organization permits its employees to use personally-owned computers for remote access, how are security and vulnerability management affected
Explanation:
In this case, it would be risky for a company to allow the use of personal computers for remote access to organizational systems that contain data and information that must be protected by information security, which includes the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
In this case, the vulnerability management would be reduced, since each different remote computer may present weaknesses in the pillars of information security that significantly compromise security and induce attacks, failures and exposure of essential information to a company's business, the which can negatively interfere in business and cause a lot of damage to a company.
Task _____ is the characteristic of a job that refers to how predictable job duties are from one day to the next.
Answer:
variability
Explanation:
When a worker is performing a task, he or she might come across a situation that is not expected or a situation not experienced before. Task variability enables the prediction of certain tasks, especially where those task are standardized and repetition of such reduces task variability.
Also, any exceptions experienced when carrying out a duty either in a new situation or at any stage in the value creation process, such would eventually make task variability high. In other words, take variability refers to the numbers of exceptions, a worker experienced when carrying out a duty.
Machida Inc. is considering a project that is expected to produce cash inflows of $3,200 per year in years 1-4, with a final cash inflow of $5,700 in year 5. The project's initial cost is $9,800 and Machida's discount rate is 17 percent. Should Machida accept the project
Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on. r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
After receiving a reward for information leading to the arrest of a notorious criminal, you are considering investing it in an annuity that pays $5,000 at the end of each year for 20 years. You could earn 5% on your money in other investments with equal risk. What is the most you should pay for the annuity
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for this annuity today is $62311.05
Explanation:
To calculate the maximum that should be paid for the annuity, we will calculate the present value of annuity. As the cash flow from annuity occur at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. The formula for the present value of ordinary annuity is attached.

Assume the real rate of return is 3.37% and the inflation rate is 1.47%. Find the nominal rate of return using the exact formula.
Answer:
4.89%
Explanation:
Real rate of return = 3.37%
Inflation rate = 1.47%
The nominal rate of return is computed as shown below:
= [ (1 + real rate of return) x (1 + inflation rate) ] - 1
= [ (1 + 0.0337) x (1 + 0.0147) ] - 1
= (1.0337 * 1.0147) - 1
= 1.04889539 - 1
= 0.04889539
= 4.889539%
= 4.89% approx.
