What is the yield to maturity (YTM) on a simple loan for $1,500 that requires a repayment of $15,000 in five years’ time?
Answer:
Yield to maturity = 58.5%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity on the loan can be worked out using the Future value of a lump sum formula.
The future value of a lump sum is the amount it would amount to if interest is earned and compounded at a certain interest rate.
The formula is
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- 1,500
FV - Future Value, - 15,000
n- number of period- 5=
r- yield to maturity ?
15,000 = 1,500× (1+r)^(5)
(1+r)^(5) =15,000/1,500 =10
(1+r)^(5) =10
1+r = 10^(1/5)
r= 10^(1/5) -1 = 0.5848
r = 0.5848 × 100 = 58.5%
r=58.5%
Yield to maturity = 58.5%
Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming positive interest rates and holding other things constant?
a. The present value of a 5 year, $250 annuity due will be lower than the PV of a similar ordinary annuity. b. A 30-year, $150,000 amortized mortgage will have larger monthly payments than an otherwise similar 20-year mortgage.
c. A bank loan?s nominal interest rate will always be equal to or greater than its effective annual rate.
d. If an investment pays 10% interest, compounded quarterly, its effective annual rate will be greater than 10%.
e. Banks A and B offer the same nominal annual rate of interest, but A pays interest quarterly and B pays semiannually. Deposits in Bank B will provide a higher future value if you leave your funds on deposit.
Answer: d. If an investment pays 10% interest, compounded quarterly, its effective annual rate will be greater than 10%.
Explanation:
Effective annual interest rate = (1 + (nominal rate / number of compounding periods)) ^ (number of compounding periods) - 1)
= (( 1 + ( 10% / 4)) ^ 4) - 1
= 10.38%
10.38% > 10%
Generally, State A may exercise "long arm" jurisdiction over a defendant located in State B if the defendant:________. a. once resided in State A. b. uses a product produced in State A. c. made a contract in State A. d. has relatives in State A.
Answer:
c. made a contract in State
Explanation:
Jurisdiction is the ability of a court to sue a person and ask him to come to court. Of a court does not have a jurisdiction on a person they will not be able to issue a judgement on that person.
Long arm jurisdiction is one that enables a court prosecute a person that does not reside in the state.
However the person must have sufficient minimum contact in the state to enable the state prosecute him.
For example if a person makes a contract in a state and violates that contract, the state can prosecute him even if he lives in another state.
if a business with several branches did not maintain a system of branch account, what financial control element would be missing?
Answer:
Branch Performance Evaluation will be missing in such a system as the performances of the several branches cannot be determined or compared.
Explanation:
Branch performance evaluation is the sum of all the control and productive procedures to measure the activities of branches and the results they produce based on their activities and responsibilities for the corporate resources at their disposal. This branch-wide performance evaluation becomes the missing link, assuming that branches exercise some internal controls on their own.
Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year, she earned a total of 8,488. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45%. The FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,325.17. What is the total amount of taxes withheld from the Portia's earnings?
A) $3,097.17.
B) $2,443.21.
C )$1,957.06.
D) $1,722.00.
E) $1,495.36.
Answer: $1,974.51
Explanation:
FUTA and SUTA taxes are the responsibility of the employer so the amount withheld from Portia's earnings will be;
= Social security tax + Medicare tax + Federal income tax withheld
= (0.062 * 8,488) + ( 0.0145 * 8,488) + 1,325.17
= 526.26 + 123.08 + 1,325.17
= $1,974.51

The present value of the following cash flow stream is $6200 when discounted 9% annually. What is the value of the missing cash flow?
a) Year 1- $1300
b) Year 2- ?
c) Year 3- $1950
d) Year 4- $2640
Answer:
Cash flow year 3= $1,938.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= $6,200 when discounted 9% annually.
Cf:
a) Year 1- $1300
b) Year 2- ?
c) Year 3- $1950
d) Year 4- $2640
To calculate the missing cash flow, we need to use the following formula:
NPV= ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
6,200= 1,300/1.09 + x + 1,950/1.09^3 + 2,640/1.09^4
6,200= 1,192.66 + x + 1,505.76 + 1,870.24
Year 3 (PV)= 1,631.34
Cash flow year 3= 1,631.34*1.09^2
Cash flow year 3= 1,938.2
When the cost method is used to account for a stock investment the carrying value of the investment is affected by

What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense
Answer: ,$446,600
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
The depreciation expense is simply the decrease in an asset's cost due to its usage. For the straight-line depreciation, the cost of the asset is written off evenly over the entire economic life of the asset.
present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is calculated as: the difference between the cost of the kiln and the tax shield on the expense of the installation costs. This will be:
= $464,000 - ($58,000 × 30%)
= $464,000 - ($58,000 × 0.3)
= $464,000 - $17,400
= $446,600
Which statement is true of employee empowerment? A) Managers should ensure that employees are not linked to resources outside the organization, such as customers. B) Jobs must be designed to give employees the necessary latitude for making a variety of decisions. C) Employee empowerment shifts the recruiting focus away from cognitive and interpersonal skills toward general technical skills. D) Employee empowerment prevents holding employees accountable for the products and services they developed. E) Proper training must be provided only to supervisors so that they can exert their wider authority.
Answer:
B) Jobs must be designed to give employees the necessary latitude for making a variety of decisions.
Explanation:
The employee empowerment aims to provide resources and skills necessary for employees to have freedom and make their own decisions.
The organizational structure of a company will directly influence how employees are motivated or not to make certain decisions. In companies with a horizontal organizational structure, which is more flexible, there is an incentive for employees to make their decisions, which is a process that encourages innovation, engages employees, makes employment more motivating and valued, reduces response time of a decision and makes the decision-making process less bureaucratic and rigid.

Suppose market demand and supply are given by Qd = 100 - 2P and QS = 5 + 3P. If a price ceiling of $15 is imposed what will be the resulting full economic price?
Answer: $25
Explanation:
The full economic price is the the dollar amount that a business gets as a result of a price ceiling and will be the price that equates the Quantity demanded to that supplied given the price ceiling.
Quantity demanded = 100 - 2P
= 100 - 2 * 15
= $70
Quantity Supplied = 5 + 3 * P
= 5 + 3 * 15
= $50
Qs = Qd
50 = 100 - 2P
2P = 50
P = $25

If the accountant forgets to adjust the Prepaid Expenses account, there will be:_____
A) an understatement of net income.
B) an overstatement of net income.
C) an overstatement of expense.
D) no under- or overstatement of net income.
Answer:
Option B, an overstatement of net income, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “B” is correct because when the prepaid expenses occur then it is recorded in the balance sheet on the asset side and the cash will be reduced by the same amount. However, if the prepaid expenses have not been adjusted then it will show the overstatement of net income because cash has been gone so actual cash will be lower than the recoded cash. Thus, option B is right.
