You are CEO of Rivet Networks, maker of ultra-high performance network cards for gaming computers, and you are considering whether to launch a new product. The product, the Killer X3000, will cost $900,000 to develop up front (year 0), and you expect revenues the first year of $790,000, growing to $1.43 million the second year, and then declining by 45% per year for the next 3 years before the product is fully obsolete. In years 1 through 5, you will have fixed costs associated with the product of $91,000 per year, and variable costs equal to 50% of revenues.
a. What are the cash flows for the project in years 0 through5?
b. Plot the NPV profile for this investment using discount rates from 0% to 40% in 10% increments.
c. What is the project's NPV if the project's cost of capital is 10.3%?
d. Use the NPV profile to estimate the cost of capital at which the project would become unprofitable; that is, estimate theproject's IRR.
Answer:
A)

B)
NPV 0% discount rate = $398,991
NPV 10% discount rate = $169,613
NPV 20% discount rate = -$725
NPV 30% discount rate = -$130,712
NPV 40% discount rate = -$232,241
C)
NPV 10.3% discount rate = $163,760
D)
almost 20%, since the IRR is the discount rate where NPV = $0
Actual IRR = 19.95%
After successfully completing your corporate finance class, you feel the next challenge ahead is to serve on the board of directors of Schenkel Enterprises. Unfortunately, you will be the only person voting for you. The company has 430,000 shares outstanding, and the stock currently sells for $51, If there are four seats in the current election, how much will it cost you to buy a seat
Answer:
$4,386,051
Explanation:
For computation of cost to buy a seat first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1 :
Number of seats available for election = 4
So, the percentage of stock needed = 1 ÷ (4 + 1)
= 20%
Step 2
Number of Stock needed = (Outstanding shares × Percentage of stock) + 1
= (430,000 × 20%) + 1
= 86,000 + 1
= 86,001
and finally
Total cost required to buy a seat = Number of Stock × Stock Currently Sold
= 86,001 × $51
= $4,386,051
So, we have applied the above formula.
Under a partnership agreement, Sherry is to receive 25% of the partnership income, but not less than $10,000. The partnership has net income of $30,000 for Year 1 before any allocation. Calculate Sherry’s guaranteed payment from the partnership for Year 1.
Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
since Sherry will receive at least $10,000 or 25% of the partnership's net income, then the guaranteed payment = $10,000 - ($30,000 x 25%) = $10,000 - $7,500 = $2,500
When partnerships include guaranteed minimum payments, he/she will receive that amount even if the partnership's net income is not high enough. If the partnership's net income would have been $40,000 or more, then there would be no guaranteed payment (= $40,000 x 25% = $10,000).
A firm is about to undertake the manufacture of a product, and is weighing the process configuration options. There are two intermittent processes under consideration, as well as a repetitive focus. The smaller intermittent process has fixed costs of $3,000 per month, and variable costs of $10 per unit. The larger intermittent process has fixed costs of $12,000 and variable costs of $2 per unit. A repetitive focus plant has fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $1 per unit.a. At what output does the large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one?b. At what output does the repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process?
Answer:
A.$1,125
B.$38,000
Explanation:
Using this formula:
Fixed Cost of Process B- Fixed Cost of Process A ÷Unit Variable cost of Process A – Unit Variable Cost of Process B
a.
Where:
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Fixed Cost =$3,000
Unit Variable =10
Unit Variable =2
Hence:
(12,000-3,000)/ (10-2)
=$9,000/8
= $1,125
This means that large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one by $1,125
b.
Fixed Cost =$50,000
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Unit Variable =2
Unit Variable =1
(50,000-12,000)/ (2-1)
=$38,000/1
= 38,000
This means that repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process by $38,000
Certain balance sheet accounts of a foreign subsidiary of the Rose Co. had been stated in U.S. dollars as follows: Stated at Current Rates Historical Rates Accounts receivable—current $ 280,000 $ 308,000 Accounts receivable—long term 140,000 154,000 Prepaid insurance 70,000 77,000 Goodwill 112,000 119,000 Totals $ 602,000 $ 658,000 If the subsidiary's local currency is its functional currency, what total amount should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars? $658,000. $609,000. $616,000. $602,000.
Answer:
$602,000
Explanation:
Since the foreign currency is the functional currency in this case, what is required to be done is the translation of the balance sheet accounts, not a remeasurement of the accounts.
The guiding principle is that when the financial statement of subsidiary is prepared using functional currency, assets and liabilities should be translated using the current rates.
Since $602,000 is the total using the current in the question, the total amount that should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars is therefore $602,000.
Torres Company uses the gross method and a perpetual inventory system. Assuming the following entries, compute the amount that Torres Company received on May 12.
a. May 1 Sold goods costing $3,000 to Campbell Company on account, $5,000, terms 1/10, n/30. The goods are shipped FOB Shipping Point, Freight Prepaid by Seller, $110.
b. May 7 Campbell Company returned undamaged merchandise previously purchased on account, $200.
c. May 12 Received the amount due from Campbell Company.
Answer:
Torres Company received $4,800 on May 12.
Explanation:
When The Sale was made, the following entries apply :
J1
Trade Receivable $5,000 (debit)
Sales Revenue $5,000 (credit)
J2
Cost of Sales $3,000 (debit)
Merchandise $3,000 (credit)
J3
Freight Expenses $110 (debit)

When Campbell Company returned Merchandise :
J1
Sales Revenue $200 (debit)
Trade Receivable $200 (credit)
When Campbell Company pays for the goods
The payment is made 2 days out of the discount period, therefore not eligible for discount.
Settle amount in full less Return Allowance of $200
Trade Receivable $4,800 (debit)
Cash $4,800 (credit)
Conclusion :
Torres Company received $4,800 on May 12.
An investor enters into a 2-year swap agreement to purchase crude oil at $51.25 per barrel. Soon after the swap is created, forward prices rise and the new 2-year swap price is $61.50. If interest rates are 1% and 2% on 1- and 2-year zero coupon government bonds, respectively, what is the gain or loss to be made from unwrapping the original swap agreement?
Answer:
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years made from unwrapping the original swap agreement is $20.00
Explanation:
From the given information;
The annual gain from swap agreements = $61.50 - $51.25
The annual gain from swap agreements = $10.25
Annual rate for the first year = 1% = 0.01
Annual rate for the second year = 2% = 0.02
However the present gain for the first year will be;
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_1)^1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{10.25}{(1+0.01)^1}[/tex]
= 10.14851485
The present gain for the second year will be;
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{10.25}{(1+0.02)^2}[/tex]
= 9.851980008
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is:
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_1)^1} + \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_2)^2}[/tex]
= 10.14851485 + 9.851980008
= 20.00049486
≅ $ 20.00
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is $20.00
Closing Entries with Net Income Assume that the entry closing total revenues of $3,190,000 and total expenses of $2,350,000 has been made for the year ending December 31. At the end of the fiscal year, Teresa Schafer, Capital has a credit balance of $1,885,000 and Teresa Schafer, Drawing has a balance of $770,000. a. Journalize the entry required to close the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account. b. Determine the amount of Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period. $
Answer:
a. Debit Teresa's Capital account for $770,000; and Credit Teresa's Drawing account for $770,000.
b. Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000
Explanation:
a. Journalize the entry required to close the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.
Since the drawing will affect capital by reducing it, the journal entry will look as follows:
Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Teresa's Capital account 770,000
Teresa's Drawing account 770,000
(To record the closing the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.)
b. Determine the amount of Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period.
To do this, we have to calculate the net profit first as follows:
Net profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $3,190,000 - $2,350,000 = $840,000
Since net profit will increase capita while drawing will reduce capital, we therefore have:
Capital at the end of the period = Capital + Net profit - Drawing = $1,885,000 + $840,000 - $770,000 = $1,955,000.
Therefore, Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000.

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate is 7%.
You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.
What is the slope of the CML? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
Explanation:
Given that:
expected rate of return of 17%
standard deviation of 27%.
The T-bill rate is 7%.
You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.
The slope of the CML is
Slope of the CML = (Expected return of Market - Risk free return)/Standard deviation of market
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
= (0.13 - 0.07) /0.25
= 0.24
Robinson Company purchased Franklin Company at a price of $2,500,000. The fair market value of the net assets purchased equals $1,800,000. 1. What is the amount of goodwill that Robinson records at the purchase date? 2. Does Robinson amortize goodwill at year-end? 3. Robinson believes that its employees provide superior customer service, and through their efforts, Robinson believes it has created $900,000 of goodwill. Should Robinson Company record this goodwill?
Answer:
Explanation:
Goodwill is defined as the excess in amount of the purchase price of a company over the fair value at acquisition.It is intangible in nature , meaning it can not be physically separated from the other assets. Example are patent , brand name , good employee relation.
1.
Goodwill calculation
Purchase price - $2,500,000
Fair value - $1,800,000
Goodwill - $700,000
2.
No
Under the IAS 36, impairment of assets , goodwill is not amortized but annually tested for impairment as amortization is applicable to intangible assets with a definite useful life while intangible assets with indefinite useful life are annually tested for impairment to evaluate a loss in value experienced.
3
No
Under IAS 38 , Internally generated goodwill are not recognized as no related cost is incurred towards achieving a future benefit
Job costing, unit cost, ending work in process. Rowan Company produces pipes for concert-quality organs. Each job is unique. In April 2016, it completed all outstanding orders, and then, in May 2016, it worked on only two jobs, M1 and M2: A B C 1 Rowan Company, May 2016 Job M1 Job M2 2 Direct materials $ 75,000 $ 56,000 3 Direct manufacturing labour 275,000 209,000 Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour. Manufacturing overhead costs are allo- cated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour. Only Job M1 was completed in May. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost for Job M1. 2. 1,600 pipes were produced for Job M1. Calculate the cost per pipe. 3. Prepare the journal entry transferring Job M1 to finished goods. 4. What is the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account?
Answer:
1. The total cost for Job M1 is $592,000
2. Cost per unit is $370
3. Journal
Finished goods inventory 592,000
Work in process inventory 592,000
4. Ending balance in Work-in-Process Control account is $448,920
Explanation:
A B C
1) Rowan Company, May 2016 Job M1 Job M2
2) Direct materials $ 75,000 $ 56,000
3) Direct manufacturing labour 275,000 209,000
Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour
Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour
1. Direct labor rate = $25 per hour
Direct labor hours used on Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct labor rate
= 275,000 ÷ 25
= $ 11,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M1 = Direct labor hours used on Job M1 x 22
= $11,000 x 22
= $242,000
Job cost sheet (Job M1)
Direct material = $75,000
Direct labor = $275,000
Overhead applied = $242,000
Total cost = $592,000
2. Cost per unit = Total cost ÷ Number of units
= 592,000 ÷ 1,600
= $370
3. Journal
Finished goods inventory 592,000
Work in process inventory 592,000
4. Direct labor hours used on Job M2 = Direct manufacturing labor/Direct labor rate
= 209,000 ÷ 25
= $8,360
Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M2 = Direct labor hours used on Job M2 x 22
= $8,360 x 22
= $183,920
Job cost sheet (Job M2)
Direct material = $56,000
Direct labor = $209,000
Overhead applied = $183,920
Total cost = $448,920
Ending balance in work in process control account = $448,920
Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintenance and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 6 and 54 trees, respectively, in them at 1 time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows:
Maintenance Department $7,800
Janitorial Department 5,000
Cutting Department 54,500
Pruning Department 11,000
Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support costs to the production departments.
Answer:
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
Explanation:
The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.
Allocation of Overhead
Janitorial overhead
Cutting = 6/(6+54)× $5,000 = $500
Pruning =54/(6+54) × $5,000= $4,500
Maintenance overhead
Cutting = 9/(9+1)× $7,800 = $7020
Pruning =1/(9+1) × $7,800= $780
Total cost of production department
Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020
Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
Describe a problem you face in your everyday life or at work. How might you use hypothesis testing to find a solution or improvement to that problem? Would you conduct a one-sample or two-sample test? What would be your null and alternative hypotheses?
Answer:
The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.
In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.
My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable. for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Explanation:
The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.
In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.
Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.
The Hypothesis can be shown below:
Null hypothesis:
H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

During 2022, Bramble Corp. reported cash provided by operations of $778000, cash used in investing of $672000, and cash used in financing of $186000. In addition, cash spent on fixed assets during the period was $270000. Average current liabilities were $637000 and average total liabilities were $1682000. No dividends were paid. Based on this information, what was Bramble free cash flow
Answer:
Bramble free cash flow was $508,000
Explanation:
Cash provided by operations = $778,000
Cash used in investing = $672,000
Cash used in financing = $186,000
Cash spent on fixed assets during the period = $270,000
Average current liabilities = $637,000
Average total liabilities = $1,682,000
Free cash flow = Cash flow from operating activities - Capital expenditures
= $778,000 - $270,000
= $508,000
On January 1, 2009, a U.S. firm made an investment in Germany that will generate $5 million annually in depreciation, converted at the current spot rate. Projected annual rates of inflation in Germany and in the United States are 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The real exchange rate is expected to remain constant, and the German tax rate is 50 percent. Required: Calculate the expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013. Assume that the tax write-off is taken at the end of the year.
Answer:
The expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013 will be $1,958,815.416.
Explanation:
It is expected that the value of the dollar in the German market will fall at the same rate as that of the real market value of the dollar when we envisage the exchange rate will remain the same. Thus the depreciation of the tax write-off in terms of its real value in dollars will fall at 5% every year from 2009 to 2013.
Therefore, at a tax rate of 50% in Germany, a $2.5 million charge on depreciation on the investment of $5 million will result in 2013.
To calculate the real value of the dollar at an inflation of 5% yearly in 2013
When the tax rate in German is 50%, then charges of depreciation of $5 million will equal4$2.5 million in 2013 dollars. When the dollar's real value of this write-off is declining due to the inflation at 5% annually, the real value in 2013 will be calculated as:
Given: $2,500,000 (P/F , 5%, 5years) ; 0.78356 (factor for calculating the amount to be recieved after 5years)
= $2,500,000 * 0.78356
= $1,958,815.416

A manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. The two locations have fixed and variable costs as follows: Location FC (annual) VC (per unit) Atlanta $ 80,000 $ 20 Phoenix $ 140,000 $ 16 If the annual demand will be 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: Compare the total costs Select one: a. 40000 b. 20000 c. 460000 d. 60000
Answer:
Cost Advantage of different locations:
b. $20,000
Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.
Explanation:
a) Total Costs of different locations:
Atlanta Phoenix
Fixed Cost $80,000 $140,000
Variable cost 400,000 320,000
Total Costs $480,000 $460,000
b) Variable costs
Atlanta Phoenix
Annual Demand 20,000 20,000
Variable cost/unit $20 $16
Total variable cost $400,000 $320,000
c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution. In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.
MC algo 3-13 Equity Multuiplier Use the following information to answer this question Windswept, Inc. 2017 Income Statement ($ in millions) $ 8.700 Net sales Cost of goods sold 7,250 350 Depreciation Earnings before interest and taxes Interest paid $ 1,100 83 $ 1,017 Taxable income 356 Taxes 661 Net income Windswept, Inc. 2016 and 2017 Balance Sheets ($ in millions) 2017 2016 2017 2016 $ 1070 $ 1,212 Cash $ 140 120 Accounts payable Long-term debt Accounts rec. 800 720 980 1,213 1,510 1,535 Inventory Common stock 3,150 450 2,890 $2.450 $ 2,375 Retained earnings Total 700 Net fixed assets 3,200 3,640 $ 6,015 $5,650 5,650 6,015 Total liab. & equity Total assets What is the equity multiplier for 2017? a) 2.08 times b) 2.42 times c) 3.01 times d) 1,68 times e) 1,26 times
Answer:
The answer is Option D. 1.68 times
Explanation:
The formula for equity multiplier is:
Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity
In 2017:
Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590
Total assets = $6,015
Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,
Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times
Felinas Inc. produces floor mats for cars and trucks. The owner, Kenneth Felinas, asked you to assist him in estimating his maintenance costs. Together, Mr. Felinas and you determined that the single best cost driver for maintenance costs was machine hours. Below are data from the previous fiscal year for maintenance expense and machine hours:
Month Maintenance Expense Machine Hours
1 $ 3,480 2,380
2 3,670 2,480
3 3,850 2,580
4 3,980 2,610
5 3,980 2,460
6 4,400 2,620
7 3,970 2,600
8 3,780 2,570
9 3,500 2,390
10 3,120 2,260
11 2,960 1,650
12 3,240 2,250
Using the high-low method, total monthly fixed cost is calculated to be:__________
a. $296.
b. $224.
c. $460.
d. $162.
e. $552.
Answer:
Fixed costs= 510
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Maintenance Expense Machine Hours
1 $ 3,480 2,380
2 3,670 2,480
3 3,850 2,580
4 3,980 2,610
5 3,980 2,460
6 4,400 2,620
7 3,970 2,600
8 3,780 2,570
9 3,500 2,390
10 3,120 2,260
11 2,960 1,650
12 3,240 2,250
To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 2,960) / (2,620 - 1,650)
Variable cost per unit= $1.484536
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,400 - (1.484536*2,620)
Fixed costs= $510
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,960 - (1.484536*1,650)
Fixed costs= 510
An advance payment of $1,000 for services was received on December 1 and was recorded as a liability. By the end of the year, $400 has been earned. What is the correct adjusting entry that should be include?
Answer:
The answer is "$400"
Explanation:
Given:
advance payment = $ 1,000
by the end of year he earned= $ 400
So, the total eared value is $ 400 because it is the Debit unearned income.
Answer:
Debit unearned revenues for $400
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries made to record revenues and expenses accounts. These entries are made at the end of an accounting cycle.
Payment received for services on December 1 that was recorded as a liability = $1,000
Amount earned by the end of the year = $400
Therefore,
adjusting entry: Debit unearned revenues for $400 so that expenses matched to the accounting period in which the revenue paying for them is earned.

Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for
themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All
sales of Elegant Limited are for cash.
Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA mode
Answer:
Elegant Limited
a) Association for the sales of cars based on the REA model:
The association indicates the relationships that exist between economic agents in the sales of cars. The relationships are between the seller (Elegant Limited) and the buyers or customers (private buyers and investors). The association based on the REA model is that each economic agent exchanges some economic resources during an economic event. Elegant Limited will give cars to customers in exchange for cash or initially and in some cases, a promise to pay cash later. This is an economic event. When the customer pays, another economic event takes place, and resources are also exchanged.
b) Cardinality of the sales of cars: The cardinality defines the elements involved in the sales of cars based on the REA model. The elements are the economic resources (cars and cash), the economic events or business transactions that take place (sales of cars and payment of cash), and the economic agents (Elegant Limited and customers) who make the events and the exchange of resources to happen.
Explanation:
The REA model is a framework for defining business processes. It was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, and contained the concepts of resources, events, and agents. It proposed to replace accounting objects like assets and liabilities with real-life objects, including:
1) goods, services or money, or resources
2) business transactions or agreements that affect resources, events
3) people or other human agencies (other companies, etc.), agents.
Leona Figueroa is a new employee in the payroll department of Octolium Computers. After working at the company for one week, she asks you why it is so important to submit new hire documentation. What guidance will you offer her
Answer:
The hiring documents of an employee are very important because they allow to legalize and consider as approved the function or work that a worker is going to perform.
Explanation:
The new employee recruitment documentation allows us to check if it is really possible to carry out the hiring for that the documents must be complete as for example there must be a support of the identity document of the employee, a support of the social security as well as the number of affiliation, and a home support. After verification and compliance with these requirements, we proceed to contract.
A company issues a callable (at par) ten-year, 6% coupon bond with annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year after release or any time after that on a coupon payment date. On release, it has a price of $104 per $100 of face value. What is the yield to worst of this bond when it is released
Answer:
6.32%
Explanation:
This can be calculate using the YTC using the following equation:
YTC = (C + (CP - P) / t) / ((CP + P) / 2) .......................... (1)
Where:
YTC = YTW = yield to call or yield to worst = ?
C = annual coupon interest payment = bond interest rate * Bond price = 6% * $100 = $6
CP = call price of the bond = $104
P = price of the bond = $100
t = time in years remaining until the call date = 10 - 1 = 9 years
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTC = ($6 + ($104 - $100) / 9) / (($104 + $100) / 2) = 0.0632, or 6.32%
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes. b. The price/earnings (P/E) ratio tells us how much investors are willing to pay for a dollar of current earnings. In general, investors regard companies with higher P/E ratios as being more risky and/or less likely to enjoy higher future growth. c. Other things held constant, the less debt a firm uses, the lower its return on total assets will be. d. Suppose you are analyzing two firms in the same industry. Firm A has a profit margin of 10% versus a margin of 8% for Firm B. Firm A's total debt to total capital ratio is 70% versus 20% for Firm B. Based only on these two facts, you cannot reach a conclusion as to which firm is better managed, because the difference in debt, not better management, could be the cause of Firm A's higher profit margin.
Answer: The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes
Explanation:
a. This is correct.
The advantage of basic earning power ratio over the return on the total assets for judging a firm's operating efficiency is that the basic earning power does not reflect effects of debt and taxes.
b. This is incorrect.
Only the price/earnings ratio of the company will tell us nothing about a company. When we compare the price/earnings of a company with the peers, we would know whether such company is under valued, or over valued or maybe fairly valued.
c. This is incorrect.
The total assets is made up of total liabilities plus the shareholders equity, when other things are held constant, less debt simply means less liabilities. To balance both sides, the total assets should reduce as the shareholder's equity is constant. When total assets decreases, the return on the assets will increase.
d. This is incorrect.
We can reach a conclusion on which firm is better managed based on the facts given. The debt ratio is the total liabilities divided by total assets, and a lower ratio is known to be good in comparison to a higher ratio. Similarly, the profit margin is the profit divided by the sales, and low profit margin shows high expenses and also a need for the management to decrease the expense.
