Answer:
4%
Explanation:
you invest $100,000 today and purchase A$145,137.88
in one year, you will have A$152,394.78
since the PPP stands, the spot rate in one year should be:
0.703 US$ per A$ (since Australia's inflation rate is 2% higher than the US inflation rate, the Australian dollar will depreciate by 2%)
with your A$152,394.78, you can purchase $107,133.53
if you invested in the US instead, you would have $103,000
this means that your Australian investment yielded ($107,133.53 / $103,000) - 1 = 0.04 or 4%

Consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases. This macro-environmental force strongly impacts this industry.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The macro-enviromental forces that impact an industry are: demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural, and technological.
In this case, we can see the socio-cultural macro-enviromental force at play, and perhaps also the demographic macro-enviromental force.
If consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases, it is most likely because they have change their culture or social status. Such a change in consumer behaviour can have great impact on an industry: it can boost some goods, while make other decline or disappear.
Such a change can also respond to demographic shift: for example, as consumers age, they tend to become more selective, so a good that used to be favored by a young population, might not be so anymore when that young population grows older.

"An 8% corporate bond with 20 years left to maturity is currently trading at 120. The bond is callable in 4 years at 104. If a client buys the bond and then the issuer calls it in 4 years, the yield to call will be:"
Answer:
The yield to call will be 6%.
Explanation:
Yield to call (YTC) refers to the return a bondholder will receive in the event that he holds the bond until the call date which is sometime before the maturity date.
The YTC can be calculated using the following formula:
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 face value = 8% * $100 = $8.00
CP = Callable price of the bond = $104
P = Current price of the bond = $120
t = time in years remaining until the call date = 20 - 4 = 16 years
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTC = ($8 + ($104 - $120) / 16) / (($104 + $120) / 2)
YTC = $7 / $112 = 0.06, or 6%.
Therefore, the yield to call will be 6%.
With perfect price discrimination the monopoly a. charges each customer an amount equal to the monopolist's marginal cost of production. b. eliminates all price discrimination by charging each customer the same price. c. eliminates profits and increases consumer surplus. d. eliminates deadweight loss.
Answer:
Option D, Eliminates the dead-weight loss.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because there is dead-weight loss under monopoly because it produces less as compared to perfect competition. Therefore, a monopolist eliminates this dead-weight loss by producing at the level where the marginal cost curve cuts the marginal revenue curve and charging each consumer their willingness to pay the amount

Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 80 percent of fixed asset capacity. Fixed assets are $462,000. Current sales are $550,000 and projected to grow to $790,625. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales
Answer:
New Fixed assets required = $69300
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of new fixed assets required to support project sales, we first need to determine the amount of fixed assets required to support $1 of sale.
The sales value at full capacity is,
Full capacity sales = 550000 / 0.8
Full capacity sales = $687500
To calculate the $ amount of fixed asset required to support $1 in sales, we need to calculate the ratio of fixed assets to sales. The ratio is,
Fixed assets to sales = 462000 / 687500
Fixed assets to sales = 0.672
Thus, to support a sales level of $790625, the total amount of fixed assets needed will be,
Total fixed assets needed = 790625 * 0.672 = $531300
New Fixed assets required = 531300 - 462000 = $69300

At the beginning of the current year, Penguin Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer) has accumulated E & P of $55,000. During the year, Penguin incurs a $36,000 loss from operations that accrues ratably. On October 1, Penguin distributes $40,000 in cash to Holly, its sole shareholder.
How is Holly taxed on the distribution?
Of the $40,000 distribution, ...........................$ is taxed as a dividend and $ ....................represents a return of capital.
Answer:Of the $40,000 distribution, ....$28,000....................... is taxed as a dividend and $12,000...................represents a return of capital.
Explanation:
we will first compute dividend income for Holly
Loss from operations in the year =$36,000
Loss accrued till October 1st, since it accrues ratably
January - September= 9 months
36,000 x 9/12 = $27,000
But E&P at start of the year = $55,000
Therefore, E&P at October 1st = $55,000- $27,000 = $28,000
The remaining balance. $28,000 after the losses accrued have been deducted will be treated as dividend income
From the statement, the total cash distributed to Holly is $40,000,
$28,000 as calculated from above Is taxed as a dividend and $12,000 ( $40,000- $28,000) represents a return of capital.

Suppose the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent. Assuming no bank holds excess reserves and nobody withdraws cash, a $10,000 injection of new reserves by the Fed can create (in the entire mult-banking system), a maximum of:
Answer:
The maximum money created is $50000
Explanation:
The given reserve requirement ratio is = 20 percent
The injection of cash = $10000
So, first, we have to find the money multiplier and then multiply with the injected amount.
Since the reserve requirement is 20 percent so the money multiplier = 1/ 20 = 0.5 or 5.
The Fed can create the maximum money = 10,000 x 5 = 50,000

B) $4.10.
C) $4.50.
D) $3.81.
Answer:
a) c. $4.34
b) b. $4.10
Explanation:
a) Find Farewell's diluted earnings per share for 2021.
Use the formula below:
Diluted EPS = (Net income after tax - preferred dividend) / diluted common stock
[tex]= \frac{2,500,000 - (50,000*100*0.06)}{500,000+(200,000 - ((29*10,000)/30))}[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2,500,000 - 300,000}{500,000 + (200,000 - 193,333)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{220,000}{506,667} [/tex]
[tex] = 4.34 [/tex]
Diluted EPS = $4.34 per share
b) stock options = 5,000
Value in current shares = 500,000/12 = $4,167
Diluted shares = 5000 - 4167 = 833
Use the formula below to find the diluted earnings per share:
Diluted EPS = Net income/share outstanding

"Hindi Co. started 3,000 units during the period. Its beginning inventory is 500 units one-fourth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Its ending inventory is 300 units one-fifth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. How many units were transferred out this period
Answer: 3,200 units
Explanation:
The Units transferred out during the year will be those that were inherited from the previous period as well as those started during the year less the closing inventory still in progress.
The formula to calculate the units is therefore;
= Opening inventory + Started during the year - Closing Inventory
= 500 + 3,000 - 300
= 3,200 units

Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,000. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 10 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. Rollins is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for $27.00 per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's policy is to use a risk premium of 4 percentage points when using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method to find rs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Rollins' cost of preferred stock? Select one: a. 10.0% b. 11.0% c. 12.0% d. 12.6% e. 13.2%
Answer:
d. 12.6%
Explanation:
Rollins Corporation will receive $100 - ($100 x 5% flotation costs) = $100 - $5 = $95 net for each preferred stock issued
Since it will have to pay $12 on preferred dividends, the cost of preferred stocks = preferred dividend per preferred stock / net amount received per preferred stock = $12 / $95 = 0.1263 = 12.6%
Flotation costs are costs that a corporation incurs when issuing new stocks or bonds, and they include legal fees, underwriting fees, etc.
Answer:
d. 12.6
