Answer:
2.9652%
Explanation:
to determine the cost of debt we must use the FMV of the bonds plus the YTM:
first bond:
FMV = 1.09 x $1,000 = $1,090 x 3,600 bonds = $3,924,000
YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {17.5 + [(1000 - 1090)/16]} / [(1000 + 1090)/2] = (17.5 - 5.625) / 1045 = 1.136% x 2 = 2.27% annual
second bond:
FMV = 0.95 x $2,000 = $1,900 x 3,950 bonds = $7,505,000
YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {59.4 + [(2000 - 1900)/42]} / [(2000 + 1900)/2] = (59.4 + 2.38) / 1950 = 3.168% x 2 = 6.34% annual
total debt = $3,924,000 + $7,505,000 = $11,429,000
weighted average after tax cost of debt:
{($3,924,000/$11,429,000 x 2.27%) + ($7,505,000/$11,429,000 x 6.34%)} x (1 - 0.40) = (0.779% + 4.163%) x 0.6 = 4.942% x 0.6 = 2.9652%
Differential Analysis for a Discontinued Product A condensed income statement by product line for Healthy Beverage Inc. indicated the following for Fruit Cola for the past year: Sales $12,750,000 Cost of goods sold 8,500,000 Gross profit $ 4,250,000 Operating expenses 6,000,000 Loss from operations $ (1,750,000) It is estimated that 25% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead costs and that 15% of the operating expenses are fixed. Because Fruit Cola is only one of many products, the fixed costs will not be materially affected if the product is discontinued. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 5 to determine whether Fruit Cola should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss. Differential Analysis Continue Fruit Cola (Alt. 1) or Discontinue Fruit Cola (Alt. 2) January 5 Continue Fruit Cola (Alternative 1) Discontinue Fruit Cola (Alternative 2) Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2) Revenues $ $ $ Costs: Variable cost of goods sold Variable operating expenses Fixed costs Income (Loss) $ $ $ b. Should Fruit Cola be retained
Answer:
Healthy Beverage Inc.
a) Differential Analysis
1) Continue Fruit Cola (Alt. 1)
Sales $12,750,000
Cost of goods sold 8,500,000
Gross profit $4,250,000
Operating expenses 6,000,000
Loss from operations ($1,750,000)
2) Discontinue Fruit Cola (Alt. 2)
Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2):
Fixed costs:
Cost of goods sold $2,125,000
Operating expenses 900,000
Income (Loss) ($3,025,000)
b. Should Fruit Cola be retained ?
The production and sale of the Fruit Cola should be continued. Discontinuing it would not save the company the incurrence of the fixed cost.
Explanation:
Differential analysis is a managerial accounting technique for analyzing the different costs and benefits that would arise from alternative solutions to a particular problem.
In the above scenario, discontinuing the production and sale of Fruit Cola would not save the company the fixed costs, so the product should be continued. It is not the product that is causing the net loss but allocated fixed costs. Fixed cost is a sunk cost that is not relevant in differential analysis type of decision making.
Joanie recognizes that the board and CEO are particularly worried that individuals will post negative information about the company on company-sponsored social media sites. Joanie create what specific set of policies in response for how to contend the employees?
Answer:
Should create a non disclosure agreement policy
Explanation:
This is a legally binding agreement that mandates parties to a contract in this case between an employer with an employee, in which the employee agrees not to disclose publicly or to any one negative information about the company that is deemed confidential (secret or private), and that may affect the company negatively.
Thus, to reduce the worries of the board and CEO, Joanie should create a non disclosure agreement signed by employees.

Your portfolio is invested 20 percent each in A and C, and 60 percent in B. What is the expected return of the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged and are first sorted before answering the question as follows:
a. Calculation of expected return of individual stock
Expected return of stock A = (0.15 * 0.45) + (0.37 * 0.22) + (0.47 * 0.18) + (0.27 * 0.11) = 0.26
Expected return of stock B = (0.15 * 0.35) + (0.37 * (−0.04)) + (0.47 * (−0.07)) + (0.27 * (−0.07)) = −0.01
Expected return of stock C = (0.15 * 0.05) + (0.37 * (−0.18)) + (0.47 * (−0.22)) + (0.27 * (−0.08)) = −0.12
b. Calculation of expected return of the portfolio
This is the sum of the product of expected return of individual stock and percentile invested in each stock as follows:
Expected return of portfolio = (0.26 * 20%) + (−0.01 * 60%) + (−0.12 * 20%) = 0.0241, or 2.41%

Prices of zero-coupon bonds reveal the following pattern of forward rates: Year Forward Rate 1 5 % 2 6 3 7 In addition to the zero-coupon bond, investors also may purchase a 3-year bond making annual payments of $50 with par value $1,000. a. What is the price of the coupon bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The price of the coupon bond is $ 1,232.30
Explanation:
The forward rates are:
year 1 5%
year 2 6%
year 3 7%
In determining the price of the bond,we discount the coupon and the face value of the bond as below:
price=coupon/(1+f1)+coupon/(1+f1)*(1+f2)+(coupon+face value)/(1+f1)*(1+f2)*(1+f3)
price=50/(1+5%)+50/(1+5%)*(1+6%)+1050/(1+5%)*(1+6%)*(1+7%)=$1,232.30
The price of the bond using the forward rates provided is $ 1,232.30
This implies that an increasing forward rates led to the bond been issued at a premium of $232.30 when compared to its face value of $1000 i.e $ 1,232.30-$1,000.00

Osborn Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate of $20.20 per direct labor-hour. This predetermined rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $282,800 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 14,000 direct labor-hours.The company incurred actual total manufacturing overhead costs of $279,000 and 13,500 total direct labor-hours during the period.Required:1. Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period.2. Assuming that the entire amount of the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold, what would be the effect of the underapplied or overapplied overhead on the company's gross margin for the period?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Predetermined overhead rate= $20.20 per direct labor-hour.
The company incurred actual total manufacturing overhead costs of $279,000 and 13,500 total direct labor-hours during the period.
First, we need to calculate the allocated overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 20.20*13,500= $272,700
Now, we can determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 279,000 - 272,700
Under/over applied overhead= $6,300 underapplied
If overhead is underapplied, the company incurred in more overhead costs than estimated. Therefore, gross profit would decrease.
. A company wants to raise $2 million through a rights offering. The subscription price is $4, and the current stock price is $5. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares outstanding. How many shares must be issued
Answer:
A.$500,000
B. $2 Right
C.$0.33
Explanation:
A.The amount that the company wants to raise ÷The subscription price = Shares Issued
Amount raise
$2,000,000
Subscription price $4
Hence:
$2,000,000÷$4
=$500,000
Therefore $500,000 is the shares to be issued out by the company
B.
Rights that it will take to purchase one share.
1,000,000/500,000 = 2 rights
C. The Investors have 2 shares
The MV of the portfolio before the rights was issued= 2x$5 = $10
The MV of portfolio after the rights was issued =
$10+$4= $14
The price per share :
$14/3
=$4.67
The value of rights :
$5-$4.67
= $0.33
Answer: 0.33
Explanation:
Funds Required. = 2,000,000
Subscription Price = 4.00
Total New Shares =2000000/4 = 500,000
Current no of shares outstanding = 1,000,000
Right ratio =500000/1000000 = 0.5
Therefore, per share 0.5 right would be issued and 2 rights will be required to buy 1 share
Share price after right issue will be:
=(Share price before rights + the subscription price per share)/Total number of shares
= ((1000000 × 5)+(500000 ×4) ÷ (1000000+500000)
= 4.67
Value of right = 5 - 4.67
= 0.33

Mantle Corporation is considering two equally risky investments: ∙ A $5,000 investment in preferred stock that yields 7.75%. ∙ A $5,000 investment in a corporate bond that yields 10%. What is the breakeven corporate tax rate that makes the company indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
At a corporate tax rate of 16.29%, both investment shall have same income, so it will be the indifference point.
Explanation:
Let take X to be the corporate tax rate
Note that 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividend mean 30% is actually applied to dividend
Preferred dividend = 5000 * 7.75% = 387.5
Taxable dividend = 387.5 * 30% = 116.25
Interest on bond = 5000*10% = 500
For the purpose of Indifference of the two investment brought about by the two break-even corporate tax
387.5 - 116.25 * X = 500 - 500*X
500 X - 116.25 X = 500 - 387.5
383.75 X = 175 -112.5
383.75 X = 62.5
X= 62.5/383.75
X= 0.1629
X=16.29%
At a corporate tax rate of 16.29%, both investment shall have same income, so it will be the indifference point.
During the current year, South Corporation had 16.0 million shares of common stock outstanding. Four thousand 15% convertible bonds, each with $1000 face value, were issued at face amount at the beginning of the year. South reported net income of $4.0 million for the year. Each bond is convertible into 10 shares of common stock. The tax rate is 25%. What is diluted EPS (rounded)
Answer:
Diluted EPS=$0.187 per share
Explanation:
Diluted EPS = Income available to ordinary shareholders / Total number of shares available after conversion
Total number of converted shares = 4,000× 10= 40,000 units
Total number o shares after conversion = 40,000+ 16,000,000= 16,040,000 units
$
Net income = 4,000,000
Tax rate (25% × 4,000,000) (1,000000 )
Net income 3,000,000
Diluted EPS = Net income /Number of shares
= 3,000,000/16,040,000=
=$0.187 per share
Diluted EPS=$0.187 per share

A protective put strategy is Multiple Choice a long call plus a short put on the same underlying asset. None of the options are correct. a long put plus a long call on the same underlying asset. a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset. a long put plus a short call on the same underlying asset.
Answer:
a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset.
Explanation:
A protective put strategy is a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset. It is a risk management strategy that makes use of options contracts which are employed by investors to protect or guard their investments against a potential loss in stocks or assets such as commodities, indexes and currencies. The protective put strategy helps to mitigate or limit risk associated with buying stocks for the first time.
Generally, the value of the underlying asset is anticipated to decrease by the buyers while the value of the underlying asset is anticipated by sellers of call options to also decrease.
Hence, considering the prospective option holder, when the exercise price is higher, it means that the call options are worth less. Also, when the exercise price is higher, it means that the put options are worth more.

Kapono Farms exchanged an old tractor for a newer model. The old tractor had a book value of $18,000 (original cost of $40,000 less accumulated depreciation of $22,000) and a fair value of $10,200. Kapono paid $32,000 cash to complete the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance.
Required:
a. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? What is the initial value of the new tractor?
b. Assume the fair value of the old tractor is $26,000 instead of $10,200. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? What is the initial value of the new tractor?
Answer:
Loss on exchange is -$7,800
initial value of tractor is $42,200
Gain on exchange is $8000
Initial value of tractor is $58,000
Explanation:
The amount of gain or loss recognizable on the exchange is the difference between the fair value of the old asset and its book value
Loss on the asset=$10,200-$18,000=-$7,800
Initial value of the new tractor=fair value of the old tractor+cash payment
Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$10,200=$42,200
If fair value were $26,000
gain on the exchage=$26,000-$18,000=$8,000
Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$26,000=$58,000
g People will want to hold more money if the price level a. or if the interest rate increases. b. or if the interest rate decreases. c. increases or if the interest rate decreases. d. decreases or if the interest rate increases.
Answer:
a. or if the interest rate increases.
Explanation:
An increase in the price utlimately decreases the level of spending by an individual. People want to save their money when the prices increase.
On the other hand when the interest rate increases some people who normally invest their money to receive the return will ultimately increase their amount of investment to increase their returns.
Why did the Federal Reserve allow the Bank of United States to fail in 1930? A. The Fed was prohibited from aiding the bank because its assets were concentrated in real estate. B. The Fed did not want to be viewed as rewarding the poor business decisions of the bank's managers. C. The Fed was unable to obtain the approval of the U.S. Treasury for its purchase of the bank's toxic assets. D. The bank's managers refused to abide by Fed rules governing the use of Fed loans. Why did the Federal Reserve allow Lehman Brothers to fail in 2008? A. The Fed did not have the legal authority to assist an investment bank. B. By the time the Fed understood the extent of the trouble at Lehman Brothers, it was much too late to act. C. The Fed believed that Lehman Brothers had found a suitable buyer and would recover. D. The Fed feared that assisting Lehman Brothers would increase the extent of moral hazard in the financial system. Contrast the Fed's actions following the failure of the Bank of United States with its actions following the failure of Lehman Brothers. A. The Fed aggressively intervened following the 1930 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 2008 failure. B. The Fed intervened aggressively following the 2008 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 1930 failure. C. The Fed's actions following both failures were the same; it aggressively intervened with assistance
Answer: 1. B. The Fed did not want to be viewed as rewarding the poor business decisions of the bank's managers.
2. D. The Fed feared that assisting Lehman Brothers would increase the extent of moral hazard in the financial system.
3. B. The Fed intervened aggressively following the 2008 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 1930 failure.
Explanation:
1. In 1930 when the Great Depression was at it's early stages, the Central Bank could have done some things that would have reduced it's impact on the world but they remained passive and did little. One of the reasons was that there was a lack of cohesion between the Fed Districts and some of the directors subscribed to the "liquidationist" which meant that companies that engaged in adverse financial decisions be allowed to fail to as to prune the financial system and make it better. This contributed to the failure to help the Bank of the United States.
2. The Fed did not want to be seen as aiding Moral Hazard when they refused to bail out the Lehman Brothers in 2008. The Lehman Brothers had engaged in very risky transactions that brought it to ruin in 2008 and the Central Bank did not want to encourage the precedent of saving Banks that did so. Moral Hazard is when a risky action is engaged in by a company or person because they will not pay for the risk if things go awry. For example, a person with car insurance might drive more recklessly because they know that if the car crashes, the insurance will cover it. This is what the Fed did not want to encourage. A situation where Banks would engage in risky actions knowing that the Fed would back them up.
3. In the 1930s during the Great Depression, the Fed did not do enough to stem the depression because there was not coordination amongst the districts. They could not agree on a way forward and so did little. They even admitted their failure when in 2002, a member of the Board of Governors called Ben Bernanke said they could have done more.
In 2008 though, the Fed stepped in to help the economy get back on track. They reduced Interest rates and poured money into the economy through various ventures that helped the American public amongst others. Their actions ensured that the 2008 financial crises did not last as long as the Great Depression.
Due to recent political and economic events, general prices of goods and services are expected to increase significantly over the next five years. You were about to purchase a five-year bond. You now require a higher return on the bond than you did before you found out about these expected price increases.
Determine which of these fundamental factors is affecting the cost of money in the scenario described:
a. Inflation
b. Time preferences for consumption
c. Risk
Answer:
a. Inflation
Explanation:
In the context of economics, inflation refers to the increase in the price of goods and services
Moreover, we also know that
(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + real rate of return) × (1 + inflation rate of return)
According to the given situation, it is mentioned that The general goods and services prices are expected to rise substantially over the next five years which represents the concept of inflation
Hence, the option a is correct
Steve Drake sells a rental house on January 1, 2019, and receives $100,000 cash and a note for $50,000 at 7 percent interest. The purchaser also assumes the mortgage on the property of $25,000. Steve's original cost for the house was $170,000 on January 1, 2011 and accumulated depreciation was $27,000 on the date of sale. He collects only the $100,000 down payment in the year of sale.
If Steve elects to recognize the total gain on the property in the year of sale, calculate the taxable gain.
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable gain is shown below;
Taxable gain on sale = Amount Realized - Adjusted Basis
where,
Amount Realized = Cash Received + Note received + Mortgage assumed by Purchaser
= $100,000 +$50,000 + $25,000
= $175,000
And, the adjusted basis is
= Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $170,000 - $27,000
= $143,000
So, the taxable gain on sale is
= $175,000 - $143,000
= $32,000
The gain which is arise from purchasing the asset to the sale of the asset i.e difference in these amounts attract the taxable gain
During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion.
1. Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.
2. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the production department for April using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
a) Units transferred = 218,000 units
b)
Equivalent units of material 283,600
Equivalent units of conversion cost 283,600
Explanation:
a) units transferred out
Units transferred = opening inventory + newly introduced - closing inventory
= 60,000 + 240,000 - 82,000= 218,000
Units transferred = 218,000 units
Equivalent units for material
Items units Equivalent units
Transferred out 218,000 100%×218,000 218,000

Transferred out 218,000 100%×218,000 218,000
Closing inventory 82,000 30% × 82,000 24,600
Equivalent units 242,600
Equivalent units of material 283,600
Equivalent units of conversion cost 283,600
Ask Socrates Inc. is a computer software company that employs highly intelligent, but somewhat unusual people. Every Friday, free lollipops, toys, or other treats are given out to encourage employees to remember how creative they were when they were children. All the new members of the organization are told about the founders who were three young people who "got lucky" and sold a video game that they invented. The employees are allowed to dress informally and can set their own working hours.Ask Socrates Inc. employees are allowed to dress informally. This is an example of a ________ through which organizational culture is transmitted.a. material symbolb. fundamental mechanismc. rituald. primary proceduree. symbolic act
Answer: a. Material symbol
Explanation:
When talking about the Material symbols of Organizational Culture, those unspoken norms and behaviours that explain to you the type of Organization you are in are what are being referred to.
Materials symbols explain the type of culture in an organization by conveying information on the Equality level of the employees as well as the type of performance and behaviour expected of them.
They can be expressed through dress codes, company cars and even offices given to a certain cadre of Employees.
Seeing as the above scenario deals with the dress code, it most likely falls under an Organization's material symbols.
a. Present one recent instance (within the last 50 years only) whereby a language, custom or national culture has been lost or diminished by the elimination or blurring of an existing border via globalization. (Please select non-U.S. examples)
b. By extension, how have global oligopolies benefited from the decrease in local competition?
Answer: 1. A. China in Zambia
B. Increased Market Share
Explanation:
A. China in Zambia
For years now many have worried about Chinese influence in China and what they view as subtle attempts by China to engage in modern day Colonialism through methods such as Predatory Loaning practices.
One glaring example is that of Zambia.
There are several ways in which the Chinese have established a foothold in Zambia and are making the country lose its sovereignty and national culture.
1. Loans for Infrastructure
China has invested massively in Zambia which is a big Copper exporter to enable them mine and capture the Copper that Zambia has for use in production in China. In the last 6 years, Zambia has embarked on over 29 projects all funded by about $9 billion in Chinese loans. With such loans being owed, the amount of Chinese influence will be great.
2. Small Scale Entrepreneurs
Chinese people have emigrated to Zambia in droves and some of them have started street level businesses also called Chinese Shops where they sell every day goods ranging from AA batteries to bicycles. These put pressure and compete with local Entrepreneurs who might not be able to get those goods as cheaply as the Chinese can from China. This as well as the importation of Chinese goods and services to feed the Chinese people involved has led to Zambian adopting Chinese foods and goods for themselves as well.
3. Political Interference
With such a huge investment in Zambia, many have noted with concern that China often meddles in the politics of the Southern African nations by picking candidates that will be more friendly to their Economic aspirations. This directly leads to a loss of sovereignty as well as an erosion in the independence of the national culture.
2. Oligopolies refer to firms that exist in an industry that has very few competitors and with the less competitions have a chance to make huge profits. Getting into the industries they operate in can be quite difficult due to high start-up costs as well as already well established competition. These include industries like the Motor and Aeroplane manufacturing industries.
As a result of Globalization, these companies have spread across the globe and as they are already established, they have the unique opportunity to charge less for their goods due to Economies of Scale. This allowed them to discourage local manufacturers in the newer companies they came to which could not hope to compete with such giants. This enabled the Oligopolies to capture the market share that the local competitors gave up thereby increasing the market share of these Oligopolies and by extension their Profitability.
The city of Springvale imposes a net income tax on businesses operating within its jurisdiction. The tax equals 1% of income up to $100,000 and 1.5% of income in excess of $100,000. The Springvale Bar and Grill generated $782,000 net income this year. Its city income tax is_______.
Answer:
$11,230
Explanation:
The city of Springvale imposed a net income tax on all businesses
Each business will make a payment of 1% for any amount up to $100,000 and 1.5% for any amount above $100,000
The net income generated by Springvale Bar and Grill is
= $782,000- $100,000
= $682,000
Therefore, it's city income tax is calculated as follows
(1/100+100,000) + ( 1.5/100+682,000)
( 0.01+100,000) + ( 0.015+682,000)
= 1000 + 10,230
= $11,230
Hence, Springvale Bar and Grill will pay a net income tax of $11,230
Consider an imaginary economy that has been growing at a rate of 6% per year. Government economists have proposed a number of policies to increase the growth rate but first need to convince the president that the policies will pay off. To do so, they want to present a comparison of the number of years it will take for the economy to double, depending on the growth rate.
Using the rule of 70, determine the number of years it will take the economy to double at each growth rate.Growth rate(Percent Years Required to Double(nearest whole number of years)4 5 6
Answer:
11.67 years
Explanation:
The rule of 70 requires that in determining when the economy growth rate will double its current growth rate, the appropriate thing to do is divide 70 by the current growth rate of 6% per year.
The economy's growth rate of 6% has its percentage ignored when the calculation is carried out.
=70/6= 11.67
The current economy's growth rate would double in 11.67 years' time
Krizun Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a particular crane calls for 14 direct labor-hours at $16 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 1,000 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $4,400 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
14,275= actual hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard for a particular crane calls for 14 direct labor-hours at $16 per direct labor-hour.
During a recent period, 1,000 cranes were made.
The labor efficiency variance was $4,400 Unfavorable.
To determine the actual hours worked, we need to use the direct labor efficiency variance formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
-4,400= (14*1,000 - actual hours)*16
-4,400= 224,000 - 16actual hours
228,400/16= actual hours
14,275= actual hours
