Answer:
$999.60
Explanation:
For computing the selling price i.e. present value we have to use the present value function i.e. shown below:
Given that
NPER = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = $1,000 × 4.225% ÷ 2 = $21.125
RATE = 4.23% ÷ 2 = 2.115%
FV = $1,000
the formula is shown below:
PV =-PV(RATE;NPER;PMTFV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $999.60

Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?
Answers
Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.
Explanation:
The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.
The section of a car residential purchase agreement that separates it into three sections would be:
Section 9C
The section titled 9C functions to separate the property purchase provisions into three varied divisions. These divisions include mediation followed by arbitration of disputes, and the external terms that fulfill the remaining ones.The other options are present in order to fulfill if either of them fails to resolve the dispute.Thus, "section 9C" is the correct answer.

Consider a multifactor model with two factors. A well-diversified portfolio (Portfolio P) has a beta of 0.75 on factor 1 and a beta of 1.25 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 are 1% and 7%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 7%. What is the expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model
Answers
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
Expected Return on portfolio P will be calculated as:
= Rf + (Beta1 × F1) + (Beta2 × F2)
where,
Rf = Risk Free rate
F1 = risk premium on Factor1
F2 = risk premium on Factor2
Expected Return will now be:
= 7% + (0.75 × 1%) + (1.25 × 7%)
= 7% + 0.75% + 8.75%
= 16.5%
The expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model will be 16.5%.
Answer:
16.5%
Explanation:
A multi-factor model can be used to explain either an individual security or a portfolio of securities. It does so by comparing two or more factors to analyze relationships between variables and the resulting performance.
DATA
Risk Free rate = Rf = 7%
risk premium on Factor1 = F1 = 1%
Beta (Factor 1) = 1.25
risk premium on Factor2 = F2 = 7%
Beta (Factor 1) = 2
Expected Return = Rf + (Beta1 x F1) + (Beta2 * F2)
Expected Return = 7% + (0.75 x 1%) + (1.25 x 7%)
Expected Return = 0.07 + 0.0075 + 0.0875
Expected Return = 0.165 or 16.5%
The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.
The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between ___________ % and ___________ %
Answers
Answer:
19% to 19.7%
Explanation:
Cost of capital is the firm cost of sources of financing. It includes debt, equity and all other sources of finance with keeping the track of their required rate of return. The cost of capital is the expected return which is required by the lenders of fund.

The stock of Static Corporation has a beta of 0.7. If the expected return on the market increases by 6%, the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by
Answers
Answer: 4.2%
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of sensitivity of a stock in that it measures how the stock reacts to a movement in market return. The Beta of the Market is 1.
If a Stock's Beta is 2, this means that if expected market return increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 2%. If a Stock's beta is 0.5 then if the expected return on the market increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 0.5%.
In this case the expected return on the market increases by 6% so the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by;
= 0.7 * 6%
= 4.2%
A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?
Answers
Answer:
LicensingFranchisingExplanation:
There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.
With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.
Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.
Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning versus outsourcing for each of these components (staff, computer servers, software licensing, and data storage)?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation below
Explanation:
Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.
Staff
When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.
When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.
There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team
Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.
a. True
b. False
Answers
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This system of performance review is a 360-degree review or feedback process where a given employee receives inputs on her performance (or other criteria such as behaviors, competencies and results achieved) from different employees with varying working relationships and at different levels. The idea is to ensure that the employee's performance is not partial or biased. Using this system, the employee who may be a manager will have her performance reviewed by employees below, above, and on the same level with her.

Growing the country's economy Aiding in the creation of capital formation Managing and mitigating the risksExplanation:
The Financial system is very important because it helps grow the economy of the country. They do this by creating capital when they transfer funds from those who have it (savers) to those who need it (borrowers). These borrowers will then use it to invest in projects that will grow the economy.
The Financial system also works to manage and mitigate risk because they have experience in such areas and are able to discern which projects to go after to avoid or properly manage risk.
You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 260,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $51 per share. There are currently 5 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board
Answers
Answer:
$2,210,051
Explanation:
The computation of the cost that would be guaranteed is shown below:
first find the number of shares controlled which is
= (S x N) ÷ (D + 1) ] + 1
Where,
S = the total number of shares
N = the number of directors required
D = total number of directors i.e. elected
So,
= (260,000 × 1) ÷ (5 + 1) + 1
= 43,334
Now the cost is
= 43,334 × $51
= $2,210,051
t a sales volume of 36,500 units, Peres Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $576,700. To the nearest whole dollar, what should be the total sales commissions at a sales volume of 35,000 units? (Assume that this sales volume is within the relevant range.
Answers
Answer:
$553,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the total sales commissions
First step is to compute the Sales commission per unit using this formula
Sales commission per unit = Total sales commissions ÷ Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Sales commission per unit= $576,700 ÷ 36,500
Sales commission per unit= $15.80
Last step is to find the Total sales commission using this formula
Total sales commission = Sales commission per unit × Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Total sales commission= $15.80 × 35,000
Total sales commission=$553,000
Therefore the Total sales commission will be $553,000

After that, dividends are expected to increase by 3 percent each year. The discount rate is 16 percent. What is the current value of this stock
Answers
Answer:
$12.60
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:-
= $1.40 × (1.08) ÷ 1.16 + 1.40 × (1.08)^2 ÷ (1.16)^2 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 ÷ (1.16)^3 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 × (1.03) ÷ (0.16 - 0.03) × (1.16)^3
= $1.3034 + $1.2136 + $1.1299 + $8.9520
= $12.60
Therefore for computing the current value of stock we simply solved the above equation.
Calloway Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $790,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:
Answers
Answer:
$632,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of balance in the right of use asset after two years is shown below:
Balance in right of use asset after 2 years is
= Recorded value - ((Recorded value × rate of interest) × number of years)
= $790,000 - (($790,000 × 10%) × 2)
= $790,000 - ($79,000 × 2)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
hence, the balance is $632,000

What are some of the government requirements imposed on a public corporation that are not imposed on a private, closely held corporation? Discuss pros and cons of each
Answers
Answer:
The government (the SEC) imposes several regulations on publicly traded corporations and requires mandatory reporting regarding their financial position, compensation to key employees, auditing and accounting procedures, conflicts of interest between upper management and shareholders, operating results, etc.
The pros of that large amount of reports is that it makes management accountable for what happens and it makes their job more transparent.
The downside is that they are expensive and time consuming.
On the other hand, privately held corporations decide what to disclose to the general public or the government. The IRS is something that cannot be avoided, but the SEC and its scrutiny is avoided.
Other advantages of publicly held corporations:
a publicly held corporation should be able to raise larger amounts of capitalsince the number of owners is larger, debt per ownership stake is generally much lowertop management tends to be more independent and suffer less pressures from individual stockholderspublicly trades corporations tend to receive more publicity and are better knownthey also attract more talentOther disadvantages of publicly held corporations:

Lease Liability 15,263 debit
Cash 22,800 credit
Explanation:
We will assume a 750,000 sales revenue per quarter. As this was their historical and expected value:
750,000 x 3% = 22,500 per quarter
Now, we solve for the present value of the lease payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+r) = PV\\[/tex]
C 22,500
time 40 (10 years x 4 quarter per year)
rate 0.01 (4% annual / 4 quarters)
[tex]22500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-40} }{0.01}(1+0.01) = PV\\[/tex]
PV $746,168.2419
we subtract the first payment of 22,500
lease liability reocrded in the enrty: 723.668
As lease sales were 760,000
lease payment: 760,000 x 3% = 22,800
less expected of 22,500 = 300 additional interest expense
interest expense: 723,668 x 0.01 = 7,237 + 300 = 7,537
amortization on lease liability: 22,800 -7,537 = 15,263
Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answers
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

At the local banking institution the branch manager doubles as the IT "go-to" by handling printer setups, resettingLAN passwords, and periodically monitoring the branch’s server health. Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.
a. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s Safeguards Rule
b. The Good Samaritan Law
c. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Answers
Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Explanation:
The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.
This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.
Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the time of the contest. (Of course, the present value of her winnings is less than $1,000,000.) Svetlana decided to keep X each year to spend and deposit the remaining $50;000 X into an account earning an annual effective interest rate of 5%. She chose the value X to be as large as possible so that, at the moment of the 20th deposit, the account would have grown to such a size that it would provide Svetlana and her heirs at least X per year in interest forever. Find X.
Answers
Answer: 31155.5
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Money won = $1,000,000
Installments made yearly = $50,000
Interest rate = 5%
The yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be: = 500000-x
The future Value of the yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be:
= (50000-x) × (1/(1.05) + (1/(1.05)^2 .....(1/(1+0.05)^20))
= (500000-x) × 33.066
We should recall that the interest from the question is equated to x. This will be:
33.066 × (50000-x) × 0.05 =x
1.6533(50000 - x) = x
82665 - 1.6533x = x
2.6533x = 82665
x = 82665/2.6533
x = 31155.5

10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.

Answer:
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
variable cost per unit = 28 + 12 + 10 + 3 + 16 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 15 + 30 + 15 = $156
average fixed cost per unit = $500,000 / 50,000 units = $10
total cost per unit = $166
desired profit margin = 40%, so total costs must be 60% of selling price
selling price = $166 / 60% = $276.67 ≈ $277 per unit
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
retailers' margin = $277 x 20% = $55.40
selling price to retailers = $277 - $55.40 = $221.60
wholesalers' margin = $221.60 x 10% = $22.16
selling price to wholesalers = $221.60 - $22.16 = $199.44 per unit
