Answers

Answer:

a. Amount funded with equity is $4,800,000

b. Dividend is $3,200,000

c. Dividend Payout ratio is 40.00%

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete, and the complete one is as follows:

As a financial manager for WillPower, Inc, you have the following information: a) The company follows a residual dividend policy; b) The total capital budget for next year is likely to be $8,000,000; c) The forecasted level of earnings next year is $8,000,000; d) The target or optimal capital structure is a debt ratio of 40%;

Please answer the following questions:

a. What will be the amount funded with equity for the project ? (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

b. Compute the amount of the dividend . (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

c. Compute the dividend pay-out ratio . (Keep the answer to two decimals. Example of the answer format: 55.55%)

The following are therefore the explanation of the answers to the question:

a. What will be the amount funded with equity for the project ? (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

Given that the target or optimal capital structure is a debt ratio of 40%, this implies that there will be 40% debt finance and 60% (100% - 40%) equity finance. Therefore, we have:

Amount funded with equity = Total capital budget for next year * Percentage of equity finance = 8,000,000 * 60% = $4,800,000

b. Compute the amount of the dividend. (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

Since the company follows a residual dividend policy, it implies that the earnings available are employed to finance capital expenditure budget first before dividends are paid to the shareholders.

Since amount funded with equity is $4,800,000 as obtained in part a, it implies that this must be deducted first from the forecasted level of earnings next year to obtain the residual that will be paid as dividend as follows:

Dividend = Forecasted level of earnings next year - Amount funded with equity = $8,000,000 - $4,800,000 = $3,200,000

c. Compute the dividend pay-out ratio . (Keep the answer to two decimals. Example of the answer format: 55.55%)

Dividend payout ratio refers to the percentage of the earnings or net income of a company that is paid by the company to its shareholders as dividend. This can therefore be calculated

Dividend Payout ratio = Dividend / Earnings = $3,200,000 / $8,000,000 = 0.40, or 40.00%

Therefore, WillPower, Inc is expected to pay 40% of its earnings as dividend to its shareholders.

Bonner Corp.'s sales last year were $345,000, and its year-end total assets were $355,000. The average firm in the industry has a total assets turnover ratio (TATO) of 2.4. Bonner's new CFO believes the firm has excess assets that can be sold so as to bring the TATO down to the industry average without affecting sales. By how much must the assets be reduced to bring the TATO to the industry average, holding sales constant? Use the year-end balance in your calculations. Select the correct answer. a. $211,325 b. $211,175 c. $211,101 d. $211,250 e. $211,026

Answers

Answer:

  d.  $211,250

Explanation:

The TATO is the ratio of sales to assets:

  TATO = sales/assets

Filling in the desired numbers, we can find the desired level of assets:

  2.4 = 345,000/assets

  assets = 345,000/2.4 = 143,750

Starting with assets of 355,000 the reduction necessary to bring assets down to 143,750 is ...

  $355,000 -143,750 = $211,250 . . . . matches choice D

In a situation where Woodpecker is been required to file a Schedule M-3, the difference in amortization amounts treated on that schedule will be reported as :

(2) $40,000 in column (a) Book Amortization

Because based on the information given about Woodpecker, Inc. We were told the company reported amortization of $40,000 on its financial statements which means the $40,000 reported is the BOOK AMORTIZATION

(3) $15000 in column (b) Temporary Difference

The $15,000 is the TEMPORARY DIFFERENCE between $40,000 Book Amortization and $55,000 Tax Amortization ($55,000-$40,000=$15,0000)

(4) $55000 in column (d) Tax Amortization

Based on the information given about

Suppose the transfers of pillars to the Lantern Division cut into sales to outside customers by 14,000 units.

Answers

Complete question:

The Pillar Division of the Gothic Building Company produces basic pillars which can be sold to outside customers or sold to the Lantern Division of the Gothic Company. Last year, the Lantern Division bought all of its 25,000 pillars from Pillar at $2.00 each. The following data are available for last year's activities of the Pillar Division:

Capacity in units                                             320,000 pillars

Selling price per pillar to outside customers        $2.05

Variable costs per pillar                                         $1.20

Fixed costs, total                                                     $155,000

The total fixed costs would be the same for all the alternatives considered below.

Suppose the transfers of pillars to the Lantern Division cut into sales to outside customers by 20,000 units. Further suppose that an outside supplier is willing to provide the Lantern Division with basic pillars at $1.92 each. If the Lantern Division had chosen to buy all of its pillars from the outside supplier instead of the Pillar Division, the change in net operating income for the company as a whole would have been:

$2,000 decrease.

$14,000 increase.

$1,000 decrease.

$18,000 decrease.

I tried my best to find the question but was unable to find the exact question, instead I found a symmetry question and its solution is as under:

Answer:

Option D. $18,000 decrease

Explanation:

The decrease in the net operating income that would occur due to purchase of all of the pillars from the outside supplier would cost the additional cost to the company which is opportunity cost per pillar and is calculated by using the following formula:

Opportunity Cost = Variable Cost - Purchasing Cost

Here, the variable cost to manufacture the pillar within the factory is $1.2 per pillar whereas the purchasing cost of pillars from outside supplier is $1.92 per pillar.

By putting values, we have:

Opportunity Cost = $1.2 - $1.92  = $0.72

Now for purchasing 25,000 units from the supplier, the total opportunity cost would be:

Total Opportunity Cost = $0.72 * 25,000 Units Purchased from Outside Supplier =         -  $18,000

The minus sign shows the decrease in the net operating income.

A divorced woman with 2 young children has just re-entered the workforce part time and earns $3,000 from this work. She collects another $2,400 per year in alimony payments. The woman wishes to make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Which statement is TRUE

A. No contribution can be made because the woman received alimony payments

B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work

C. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received

D. A contribution can be made based on both the earned income from part-time work and the alimony payments received

Answer:

B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work

Explanation:

According to Individual Retirement Account regulations, contribution can only be made base on earned income and not a court-mandated allowance made to a former spouse by a divorced or legally separated person otherwise known as "Alimony". Alimony is just a means to support life and not a earned income. So, contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work.

A corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share. If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, determine the number of shares outstanding. Select the correct answer. 583,752 8,981 224,520 44,904

Answers

Answer: 224,520

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that a corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share and that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. The number of shares outstanding goes thus:

Shares outstanding = 44,904 shares

We are also told that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. Therefore, the new shares will be:

= 44,904 × 5

= 224,520 shares

If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, the number of shares outstanding will be 224,520.

Why would a large publically traded corporation likely prefer issuing bonds as a way to raise new money as opposed to issuing more shares

Answers

Answer: B. more shares will dilute the existing value of the stock, causing its market price to fall

Explanation:

The company is already Publicly traded. If it were to issue more stock it would increased the amount of stock it has in the market which will lead to the prices reducing from a high amount of supply.

Companies generally do not want their stock prices to decrease as it sends negative signals to investors as well as the fact that management's role is to try to increase Shareholder wealth.

They will therefore rather issue bonds than risk their stock prices reducing in price.

September 2014:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000

b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

September 2013:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000

b) Current Ratio  = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.  It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity.  Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health.  A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run.  Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.

c) ROE means Return on equity.  It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.   Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets.  As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.

d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments.  ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.  As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.

Myers Corporation's stock currently trades at $40 a share. Investors estimate that the year-end dividend will be $2.00 a share and that its dividend will grow at 5% a year (i.e., D1= $2.00 and g = 5%). The company needs to issue new stock in order to fund its upcoming projects, and investment bankers estimate that the floatation cost will be 4%. What is Myers' cost of new external equity?
a) 10.2%
b) 12.0%
c) 9.6%
d) 11.3%
e) 8.5%

Answers

Answer: 10.2%

Explanation:

The formula to solve this question will be: Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g

where,

D1 = $2.00

P0 = $40

Float = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

g = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

We will then solve Myers' cost of new external equity by slotting the values into the formula written. This will now be:

Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g

= 2/40(1 - 0.04) + 0.05

= 2/(40 × 0.96) + 0.05

= 2/38.4 + 0.05

= 0.052 + 0.05

= 0.1020

= 10.2%

Myers' cost of new external equity will be 10.2%

The project manager should schedule the post-project evaluation meeting with the customer or sponsor for a time when the customer is in a position to

Answers

Answer:

b. really determine whether the project met expectations and achieved the anticipated results.

Explanation:

A post-project evaluation meeting is usually held after a project must have been executed, and its purpose is to get feedback from the customer regarding the project. A time period is usually left for the customer to observe the project so as to determine if it met his expectations. The time period could be short or long, depending on the magnitude of the project in question.

During the post-project evaluation meeting, the customer is interviewed by the contractor so as to determine his level of satisfaction or reservations with respect to the project. If he is unsatisfied with the project, the contractor should listen patiently to know areas of improvement. However, if he is satisfied, the contractor could request future jobs from him or even use him as a reference for prospective customers.

Floral Beauty, Inc., is a large floral arrangements store located in Asheville Mall. Bridal Lilies, which are a specially created bunch of lilies for bridal bouquets, cost Floral Beauty $19 each. There is an annual demand for 22,000 Bridal Lilies. The manager of Floral Beauty has determined that the ordering cost is $85 per order, and the carrying cost, as a percentage of the unit cost, is 14%. Floral Beauty is now considering a new supplier of Bridal Lilies. Each lily would cost only $17.50, but to get this discount, Floral Beauty would have to buy shipments of 2,000 Bridal Lilies at a time. Should Floral Beauty use the new supplier and take this discount for quantity buying?

a. What is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the current supplier?
b. What is the annual holding cost for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order)?
c. What is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order)?
d. What should Floral Beauty do?

Answers

Answer:

a) Total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the current supplier = $421,154

b) Annual holding cost for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order) =  $3,675

c) Total annual inventory cost = $389,298

d) Since the total cost has reduced, Flora Beauty should choose the new supplier option.

Explanation:

Annual demand, D = 22,000

Unit cost, C = $19

Ordering cost, K = $85

Unit carrying cost, h = 14% of C

h = 0.14*19 = $2.66

(a)  Total annual inventory cost for the current supplier, [tex]T_c[/tex]

[tex]T_c = (D*C) + (\frac{Q'h}{2} ) + \frac{DK}{Q'}[/tex]...........(1)

Economic order quantity,Q'

[tex]Q' = \sqrt{2DK/2.66} \\Q' = \sqrt{2*22000*85/2.66}\\Q' = 1186 units[/tex]

Su bstitute Q' and other parameters into Tc

[tex]T_c = (D*C) + (\frac{Q'h}{2} ) + \frac{DK}{Q'}[/tex]

[tex]T_c = (22000*19) + \frac{1186*2.66}{2} + \frac{2000*85}{1186} \\T_c = \$421,154[/tex]

(b)

Q = 3000

C = $17.50

h = 0.14*17.50 = 2.45

Annual holding cost for the new supplier = (Q/2)*h = (3000/2)*2.45 = $3,675

(c)

Total annual inventory cost = (D*C) + (Q/2)*h + (D/Q)*K

Total annual inventory cost = (22000*17.5) + (3000/2)*2.45 + (22000/3000)*85

Total annual inventory cost for the new supplier = $389,298

d)

Since the total cost has reduced, Flora Beauty should choose the new supplier option.

A bank has excess reserves of $1 million and makes a new loan for $500,000. If the bank faces a 10% required reserve ratio, by how much could the money supply increase when the loan is made

Answers

Answer:

With a 10% required reserve ratio, the money supply could increase by $500,000/r when the loan is made.

This equals $5,000,000 ($500,000/0.1) where r = 10%

Explanation:

a) The money multiplier is the amount of money that banks generate with each dollar of reserves. Reserves is the amount of deposits that the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.

b) The formula for the money multiplier is simply 1/r, where r = the reserve ratio.

c) The reserve ratio, also known as Cash Reserve Ratio, is the percentage of deposits which commercial banks are required to keep as cash according to the directions of the central bank.  It is used by the central bank to control the supply of money in the economy.  When the central bank wants to increase the money supply, it lowers the reserve ratio and vice versa.

d) According to wikipedia.com, "the money supply is the total value of money available in an economy at a point of time."  It is usually defined as currency in circulation plus demand deposits.  It is the demand deposits that give commercial banks the ability to create money using the reserve ratio.

Imagine you have spent a year searching for a job and have become discouraged. In the last six weeks, you have not looked for work. When numerous people are in the same situation as you, all else being equal, the unemployment rate_________ .

Answers

Answer:

Falls or goes down.

Explanation:

In this scenario, we would imagine you have spent a year searching for a job and have become discouraged. Hence, in the last six (6) weeks, you have not looked for work. When numerous people are in the same situation as you, all else being equal, the unemployment rate falls or goes down.

The unemployment rate is directly proportional to the number of people seeking or looking for employment at a particular period of time. A rise in the level of unemployment is as a result of an increase in the number of people seeking employment, thus, unemployment rates rise as the number of applicants increases. Consequently, if people become discouraged from searching for a job, then the unemployment rate would fall since no applications are being submitted.

In a nutshell, a decrease in the number of people seeking employment in a country causes the unemployment rate to fall or decline and vice-versa.

Tru-U stock is selling for $41 a share. A 6-month call on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 is priced at $1.60. Risk-free assets are currently returning .29 percent per month. What is the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45?

Answers

Answer:

$4.82

Explanation:

Calculation for the price of the 6-month put on Tru-U stock

To find the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 we are going to use Put-call parity formula to calculate it

Using this formula

Put-call parity: S + P = C + PV(E) P

Let plug in the formula

Put-call parity= $1.60 + ($45 / 1.0029^⁶) - $41 = Put-call parity=$1.60+($45/1.01752)-$41

Put-call parity=$1.60+(44.22517)-$41

Put-call parity=$45.82517-$41

Put-call parity=$4.82

Therefore the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 will be $4.82

J.C Coats Inc. carefully develops standards for its coat making operation. Its specifications call for 2 square yards of wool per coat. The budgeted price of wool is $50 per square yard. The actual price for the wool was $38 and the usage was only 1.6 yards of wool per coat. What would be the standard cost per output for the​ wool?

Answers

Answer:

$100 per coat

Explanation:

Standard ;

Wool required = 2 yard square per coat

Budgeted price = $50 per square yard

Therefore,

We will need to multiply the total direct material quantity per unit for its unitary cost in order to arrive at the standard cost per unit.

Total standard cost per coat = Wool per coat × Cost per square yard,

= 2 × $50

= $100 per coat

You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 1717 years. You expect that the​ drug's profits will be $ 5$5 million in its first year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 2 %2% per year for the next 1717 years. Once the patent​ expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce the same drug and competition will likely drive profits to zero. What is the present value of the new drug if the interest rate is 10 %10% per​ year?

Answers

Answer:

Present value = $45,185,606

Explanation:

Data:

number of periods(n) = 17 years

First-year profit = $5 million

Growth rate = 2%

Interest rate = 10%

Present value = ?

Solution:

The present value of the growing annuity can be calculated as follows

Formula:

Let's denote

annual interest rate = x

annual growth rate = y

Present value = First-year profit x [tex](\frac{1-(\frac{1+y}{1+x} )^{n} }{x-y} )[/tex]

Present value = $5,000,000 x [tex](\frac{1-(\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.1} )^{17} }{0.1-0.02} )[/tex]

Present value = $5,000,000 x 9.03

Present value = $45,185,606

Suppose you decide to deposit $24,000 in a savings account that pays a nominal rate of 12%, but interest is compounded daily. Based on a 365-day year, how much would you have in the account after four months? (Hint: To calculate the number of days, divide the number of months by 12 and multiply by 365.)

Answers

Answer:

The total amount after four-month is 24982.08 dollars.

Explanation:

The amount to deposit in savings account = $24000

Nominal interest rate = 12%

Daily rate = 12 /365= .03288%

The interest is compounded daily and a number of months = 4 months.

We have to calculate the total amount after the four months. The calculation is given below:

Number of days in 4 months = 4 × 365/12 = 121.66 (rounded to 122)

Amount in account = Amount deposited ×  (1+i)^n

                   = 24000 ×  (1+.0003288)^122

                    = 24000 ×  (1.0003288)^122

                   = 24000 × 1.04092

                  =  24982.08 dollars
