Answer:
15.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is a method of calculating an investment’s rate of return. The term internal refers to the fact that the calculation excludes external factors, such as the risk-free rate, inflation, the cost of capital, or financial risk.
Let IRR be x%
IRR, present value of inflows=present value of outflows.
114100=36900/1.0x+45600/1.0x^2+56300/1.0x^3+21800/1.0x^4
Hence
x = IRR = 15.87%

Bermuda Cruises issues only common stock and coupon bonds. The firm has a debt–equity ratio of .77. The cost of equity is 11.7 percent and the pretax cost of debt is 6.7 percent. What is the capital structure weight of the firm's equity if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent?
Answer:
56.50%
Explanation:
Calculation for the capital structure weight of the firm's equity
Using this formula
Capital structure weight of the firm's equity =
1/(1+Debt equity ratio)
Let plug in the formula
Capital structure weight of the firm's equity =
1/(1+0.77)
Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 1/1.77
Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 0.5650*100
Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 56.50%
Therefore Capital structure weight of the firm's equity will be 56.50%
Calculate the present value for the following assuming that the money can be invested at 12% percent. (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the present value in the following cases are as follows
As we know that
A = P × (1 + interest)^number of years
a) P = $50,000
b) $75,000 = P × (1.12)^6
P = $37,998
c) P = $12,000 × [ 1 ÷ 1.12 + 1 ÷ 1.12^2 + 1 ÷ 1.12^3 + 1 ÷ 1.12^4 + 1 ÷ 1.12^5 + 1 ÷ 1.12^6 ]
= $12,000 × [ 1 ÷ 1.12] [1- (1 ÷ 1.12)^6] / (1 - 1 ÷ 1.12)
= $12000 × [0.893] [0.493] ÷ 0.107
= $12,000 × 4.111
= $49,332

If the actual demand for the months of January, February and March are 10, 11 and 15 units respectively; the forecast for April using 3-period weighted moving average technique is (weights are 0.2, 0.3, 0.5) Group of answer choices
Answer: 12.8 units
Explanation:
Using the weighted moving average technique means using calculating a weighted average of the demands for the past 3 months using their weights and demand.
April forecast = (January sales * January weight) + (February sales * February weight) + (March sales * March weight)
= (10 * 0.2) + (11 * 0.3) + (15 * 0.5)
= 2 + 3.3 + 7.5
= 12.8 units

3. Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,700. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,700. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
The impairment loss can be calculated by comparing the carrying value and the higher of recoverable amount and value in use assets. In this question, the carrying value of the copyrighted item is not given. But we have the recoverable amount (FV) and the Value in use( i.e Future cashflows).In this question, the value in use is higher than the recoverable amount. so we will deduct value in use from the carrying amount of the copyrighted asset.
Impairment loss = Carrying value - Value in use
On its 2010 balance sheet, Lowell Co, reports treasury stock at cost of $1,000 million. The company has a total of 1,000,000,000 shares issued and 900,000,000 shares outstanding. What average price did Lowell Co. pay for treasury shares
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The average price paid for a treasury stock is computed using the formula below:
Average price of treasury stock=balance of treasury stock/number of shares repurchased
balance of treasury stock=$1,000 million=$1,000,000,000
number of shares repurchased =number of shares issued- number of shares outstanding
number of shares issued=1,000,000,000 shares
number of shares outstanding=900,000,000 shares
number of shares repurchased =1,000,000,000-900,000,000= 100,000,000
Average price of treasury stock= $1,000,000,000/100,000,000=$10

A US importer will purchase 500 Italian sport cars on each of the following dates: the 15th of FEB, APR, JUL and OCT of 2014. The price per car is fixed at EUR40,000/car. 3.1 What is the risk born by the US importer
Answer:
Foreign exchange risk
Explanation:
Foreign exchange risk is associated with currency fluctuations. When foreign currencies fluctuate, the accounts receivables or payables will vary. Sometimes these variations are positive for your business and a gain might result, e.g. the price of euros decreases and you need less dollars to pay your debt. But other times, variations might result in negative consequences for your business. E.g. the price of euros increases, meaning that you will need more dollars to pay your debt.
I F Passed Company (IFPC) purchased a new van on January 1, 2019. The van cost $40,000 with an estimated life of 5 years and $10,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation will be used. What is the balance in the accumulated depreciation for 2020
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation= $19,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The van cost $40,000 with an estimated life of 5 years and $10,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life.
To calculate the depreciation expense for each year, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2019:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(40,000 - 10,000)/5]= 12,000
2020:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(30,000 - 12,000)/5]= 7,200
Accumulated depreciation= 12,000 + 7,200= $19,200
Which of the following is a decision an Italian restaurant owner makes only in the long
run?
Answer:
B - The decision to stay in business
options for this question obtained through online search
A - The decision to hire an additional cook
B - The decision to stay in business
C - Whether to open on Sundays or not
D - The decision to increase prices in response to an increase in the price of cheese
Explanation:
The long-run refers to a period beyond the current financial year. Long-run decisions are futuristic in nature. In the long run, all costs and the factors of production are variable. A business has time to adapt to changes in technology and react to customer preferences.
The long-run period contrasts with the short-run. Short-run is about the current financial year. Short-run decisions have an immediate impact. The decision to hire an additional cook, whether to open on Sundays or not, and the decision to increase prices in response to an increase in the price of cheese will affect the current financial period. Staying in business is a decision that will impact the current and future periods.

If investors require a rate of return of 11.5 percent on this company's stock, what should be the price of one share of this stock today
Answer:
$47
Explanation:
Calculation for what should be the price of one share of this stock today
First step is to calculate Year 1 dividend
Year 1 dividend = 4.4 (1 + 5%)
Year 1 dividend= 4.62
Second step is to calculate Year 2 dividend
Year 2 dividend = 4.62 (1 + 5%)
Year 2 dividend= 4.851
Third step is to calculate Year 3 dividend
Year 3 dividend = 4.851 (1 + 5%)
Year 3 dividend= 5.09355
Fourth step is to calculate Year 4 dividend
Year 4 dividend = 5.09355(1 + 5%)
Year 4 dividend= 5.34823
Now let calculate the year 4 value using this formula
Year 4 value = Year 5 dividend / Required rate - Growth rate
Let plug in the formula
Year 4 value = 5.68 / 0.115
Year 4 value=49.3913
Last step is to calculate the Present value using this formula
Present value = Future value / (1 + rate)^time
Let plug in the formula
Price today = 4.62 / (1 + 0.115)^1 + 4.851 / (1 + 0.115)^2 + 5.09355 / (1 + 0.115)^3 + 5.34823 / (1 + 0.115)^4 + 49.3913 / (1 + 0.115)^4
Price today = $47
Therefore what should be the price of one share of this stock today will be $47

All else equal, which of the following bond has the lowest market price? Select one: a. A bond with a 7% coupon. b. A bond with a 6% coupon. c. A bond with a 5% coupon. d. A bond with a 9% coupon. e. A bond with a 10% coupon.
Answer:
b. A bond with a 6% coupon.
Explanation:
All else equal, the bond with the lowest coupon payment (in this case, the bond with a 6% coupon) is the bond that will have the lowest price, simply because the coupon represents the periodic interest that the bondholder will get, and in general terms, the less interests a bond pays, the cheaper its price.
Besides, a lower coupon rate is more likely to be lower than the prevailing interest rate in the market, which is one of the most important factors when determining the price of a coupon.
Answer: c) A bond with a 5% coupon.
Explanation: All else equal, the bond with the lowest coupon rate has the lowest market price, whereas the bond with the highest coupon rate has the highest market price. As a result, a bond with a 5% coupon has a lower market price than a bond with a 6% coupon, which has a lower market price than a bond with a 7% coupon, and so on.
A bond with a 9% coupon has a higher market price than a bond with a 7% coupon, which has a higher market price than a bond with a 6% coupon, and so on. Furthermore, a bond with a higher coupon rate is less vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations because its coupon payments are larger.
As a result, high-coupon bonds have less interest rate danger than low-coupon bonds. As a result, in general, bond prices and yields move in the opposite direction.

What is the major accounting difference between interest incurred during a period and cash dividends declared during the same period
Answer: b. Interest reduces net income while dividends declared do not affect net income
Explanation:
The interest incurred during a period is deducted from the Net Income before tax is calculated as it is a tax deductible expense to the business.
Dividends on the other hand are not paid from the Net income and so do not affect it. They are rather paid from the Retained earnings which a company is only able to derive after the Net Income has been calculated.

Read the following training evaluation problem, then carefully answer the questions that follow. Before beginning, you should be familiar with Kirkpatrick’s (1976) four levels of criteria for evaluating training programs:
Walstart" has recently designed a training program for their employees on crime prevention. Employees will attend a two-hour workshop designed to train them to watch for shoplifters. They will also be taught procedures that should be used when identifying a potential shoplifter. This workshop primarily includes videos of Walstart’s policies, conducted in large rooms that can accommodate up to 150 trainees at a time. You are called in to help Walstart evaluate the effectiveness of their training program.
Required:
You first ask Walstart whether they conducted an organizational needs assessment with respect to designing this training. What factors might be particularly important for you to know with respect to this type of needs assessment?
Answer:
The variables that would need to be weighed for this kind of evaluation of need will be given below.
Explanation:
Reaction: The trainees could believe that the experience has been beneficial for them anyway. This assessed some basic questions via asking the trainees, such as-did you enjoy the training? Is it going to be useful here for some on-job role? Was it possible to comprehend the vocabulary used?Learning: Evaluate the performance including its trainees by basic tests to see if the teaching needs have indeed been fulfilled. Behavior: The next step would be to see how the workers put the studying into effect to be used on the job. The procedures learned to be themselves for capturing or picking a shoplifter could now be successfully applied by the educated workers to work.Results: The assumption as well as perception including its training results will now be measured throughout this phase and therefore any shortcomings need to be reviewed and addressed during the next module for something like a successful training result.The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act requires certain competing business entities who are contemplating mergers involving dollar amounts of a certain size to give advance notice to the: I. Federal Trade Commission. II. Federal Antitrust Bureau. III. Department of Justice. IV. Secretary of Commerce. Multiple Choice III only. III and IV. I only.
Answer:
I. Federal Trade Commission.
III. Department of Justice.
Explanation:
The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976 is actually a complement of prior antitrust laws that already existed but were incomplete or outdated. Its main focus is set on a pre-merger notification report that must be given by the parties involved to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The HSR Act only applies to mergers or acquisitions that are relatively large, e.g. the transaction must involve at least $90 million.
