Explanation:
Dorpac corporation has a dividend yield of 1.3%
Its equity cost of capital is 7.4%
(a) The expected growth rate of Dorpac dividend can be calculated as follows
= Equity cost of capital-Dividend yield
= 7.4%-1.3%
= 6.1%
(b) Since the dividend is expected to grow at a constant growth rate then, the expected growth rate of Dorpac's share price is 6.1%

2019 20,000
2020 21,000
Answer:
1. Straight line
years 2016 to 2020 = $6,000
2. Sum of the years digits
2016 = $10,000
2017 = $8,000
2018 = $6,000
2019 = $4,000
2020 = $2,000
3. Double declining balance
2016 = $13,200
2017 = $7,920
2018 = $4,752
2019 = $2,852
2020 = $1,276
4, Units of production using miles driven
2016 = $6,600
2017 = $7,200
2018 = $4,500
2019 = $6,000
2020 = $5,700
Explanation:
purchase cost $33,000
useful life 5 years, salvage value $3,000
expected use 100,000 miles
1. Straight line
($33,000 - $3,000) / 5 = $6,000
2. Sum of the years digits
year 1 = 5/15 x $30,000 = $10,000
year 2 = 4/15 x $30,000 = $8,000
year 3 = 3/15 x $30,000 = $6,000
year 4 = 2/15 x $30,000 = $4,000
year 5 = 1/15 x $30,000 = $2,000
3. Double declining balance
year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $33,000 = $13,200
year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $19,800 = $7,920
year 3 = 2 x 1/5 x $11,880 = $4,752
year 4 = 2 x 1/5 x $7,128 = $2,851.20 ≈ $2,852
year 5 = $4,276 - $3,000 = $1,276
4, Units of production using miles driven
depreciation expense per mile = ($33,000 - $3,000) / 100,000 = $0.30
Year Miles
2016 22,000 x $0.30 = $6,600
2017 24,000 x $0.30 = $7,200
2018 15,000 x $0.30 = $4,500
2019 20,000 x $0.30 = $6,000
2020 (21,000 - 2,000) x $0.30 = $5,700

calculate the net present value of a business deal that cost $2500 today and will return $1500 at the end of this year. use interest rate of 13%
Answer:
NPV= -$1,172.57
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $2,500
Cash flow= $1,500
Discount rate= 13%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -2,500 + (1,500/1.13)
NPV= -1,172.57

Suppose the rate of return on short-term government securities (perceived to be risk-free) is about 5%. Suppose also that the expected rate of return required by the market for a portfolio with a beta of 1 is 12%. According to the capital asset pricing model: a. What is the expected rate of return on the market portfolio?
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used to calculate the expected return of the portfolio using the formula;
Expected Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( market return - risk-free rate)
Expected Return = 5% + 1(12% - 5%)
Expected Return= 5% + 7%
Expected Return = 12%
suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = €875.09
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 3.8% × 1,000 = 38
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- annual yield = 4.7%
n- 23
PV of interest payment= 38 × (1-(1.047^(-23)/0.047 = €527.37
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.047)^(-23) = €347.717
Step 3
Price of bond
= 527.37+ 347.717 = €875.09
Price of bond = €875.09
Jasper makes a $25,000, 90-day, 7% cash loan to Clayborn Co. Jasper's entry to record the collection of the note and interest at maturity should be: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer: B) Debit Cash $25,437.50, credit Interest Revenue $437.50; credit Notes Receivable $25,000.
Explanation:
The interest revenue for the period of 90 days will be;
= 25,000 * 7% * [tex]\frac{90}{360}[/tex]
= $437.50
Total to be received
= 25,000 + 437.50
= $25,437.50
The entry to record will therefore be;
DR Cash $25,437.50
CR Interest Revenue $437.50
CR Notes Receivable $25,000
Indicate whether the following changes would cause a shift in the demand curve for Product A and, if so, the direction of the shift.
Change Demand curve shift? Direction of shift?
Increase in price of complementary product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Increase in the price of the Product A Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Launch of effective advertising campaign for Product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Answer:
yes decrease
No N/A
Yes, Increase
Explanation:
A complementary good is a good that is consumed together. If the price of the complementary good increases, the quantity demanded of the good would decrease. this would lead to a decrease in demand for product A.
an increase in the price of product A, would increase the quantity demanded. an increase in quantity demanded leads to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve
An effective advertising campaign would increase the visibility of the product and increase the demand for the product. an increase in demand leads to an outward shift of the demand curve.
WinterDreams operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 16 % return on the company's $ 115 million of assets. The company incurs primarily fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. WinterDreams projects fixed costs to be $ 35 comma 600 comma 000 for the ski season. The resort serves 800 comma 000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are $ 8 per guest. Currently, the resort has such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it has some control over the lift ticket prices.
Required:
a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?
b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?
Answer:
a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?
They emphasize cost plus pricing because the investors are seeking a desired rate of return on their investment and they do it by adding the desired profit margin to their costs.b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?
$75.50 in order for them to generate the required ROI. Since the resort has a very good reputation, it can charge a higher price than its competitors.Explanation:
company's assets = $115,000,000
expected return on investment = 16%
fixed costs = $35,600,000
number of customers = 800,000
variable costs = $8 per customer x 800,000 = $6,400,000
total costs = $42,000,000
total cost per client = $42,000,000 / 800,000 = $52.50
desired profit = $115,000,000 x 16% = $18,400,000
desired profit per client = $18,400,000 / 800,000 = $23
price per ticket = $75.50

Blackwelder Factory produces two similar products-small lamps and desk lamps. The total plant overhead budget is $667,000 with 465,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that small lamp production will require 299,000 direct labor hours and desk lamp production will need 166,000 direct labor hours. Using the single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation base of direct labor hours, how much factory overhead will Blackwelder Factory allocate to desk lamp production if actual direct hours for the period is 249,000. a.$356,070 b.$800,936 c.$1,000,500 d.$310,930
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $356,070
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $667,000
Estimated direct labor hours= 465,000
Actual direct labor hours for lamp desk= 249,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 667,000/465,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.43 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.43*249,000
Allocated MOH= $356,070

The foreign economy has desired national saving of = 1300 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of = 1800 - 500rw. The equilibrium world real interest rate equal to:________.
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
The Equilibrium real interest rate would be the interest rate that equates the Desired savings to the desired investment for both the National and foreign economy.
Desired national saving + Foreign desired national saving = Desired national investment + Foreign desired national investment
1,200 + 1,000rw + 1,300 + 1,000rw = (1,000 - 500rw) + (1,800 - 500rw)
2,500 + 2,000rw = 2,800 - 1,000rw
2,000rw + 1,000rw = 2,800 - 2,500
3,000rw = 300
rw = 0.1
rw = 10%
Classify the assumptions according to whether or not each item is an assumption made under perfect competition (also known as pure competition or competitive industry).
Assumed in perfect competition Not assumed in perfect competition
a. price-taking behavior
b. a small number of producers
c. firms selling a similar but differentiated good
d. significant barriers to entry
Answer:
Option “A” is the assumption of perfect competition while options B, C, and D are not the assumption of perfect competition.
Explanation:
Option A, is the assumption of perfect competition because, in the perfect competition, the industry decides the price with the help of market forces demand and supply. Moreover, this determined price is followed by firms in the industry. While the other options are not assumed in perfect competition because there are a large number of firms that can be seen in perfect competition and these firms sell homogeneous goods. Furthermore, the firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The following assumption are made under perfect competition:
price-taking behaviorThe following assumption are not made under perfect competition:
small number of producers firms selling a similar but differentiated good significant barriers to entryPerfect competition is a market where there are many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. There are no barriers to the entry or exit of firms into the market. An example of perfect competition is the market for apples. All apples are identical and there are many farmers who sell apples.
The market price of goods in a perfect competition is set by the market forces. So, buyers and sellers are price takers. They take the price as determined by the market forces. There is perfect information in a perfect competition.

While examining cash receipts information, the accounting department determined the following information: opening cash balance $180, cash on hand $1,350.89, and cash sales per register tape $1,186.34. Prepare the required journal entry based upon the cash count sheet.
Answer:
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Beingthe cash is recorded)
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:
Ending Cash Balance is
= Opening Cash Balance + Sales
= $180 + $1,186.34
= $1,366.34
Short cash is
= Ending cash balance - cash on hand
= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89
= $15.45
And, the actual cash is
= Cash on hand - opening cash balance
= $1,350.89 - $180
= $1,170.89
Now the journal entry is
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34

A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± .01 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.002 inches with a standard deviation of .003 inch.
a. Calculate the Cp of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cp =
b. Calculate the Cpk of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cpk =
Answer:
A) 1.111
B) 0.889
Explanation:
given data :
outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch
sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches
standard deviation = 0.003 inches
A) Calculating the Cp of the process
mean = 1.002
Standard deviation = 0.003
LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01
[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111
B) calculate Cpk
mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003
[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]
= min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]
= min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]
hence Cpk = 0.889
The crowding-out effect refers to the possibility that:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
b. an increase in the supply of money will induce a decline in real spending.
c. when used simultaneously, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are counter-productive.
d. the speculative demand for money varies inversely with the interest rate.
Answer:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
Explanation:
Crowding out effect is when government borrowing from the capital markets leads to an increase in interest rate. this makes it more expensive for private sector to borrow and this reduces investment by private sector

What is the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) based on the following information: Capital asset turnover ratio: 2.5 Forecasted revenues: $120 Forecasted costs of goods sold: $80
Answer:
Forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
Explanation:
First note that Capital asset is the same thing as property, plan and equipment (PP&E).
In order to calculate this, we therefore use the formula for calculating the Capital asset turnover ratio which is the ratio of forecasted revenues to forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) as follows:
Capital asset turnover = Forecasted revenues / Forecasted value of PP&E
Substituting for the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Forecasted value of PP&E, we have:
2.5 = 120 / Forecasted value of PP&E
Forecasted value of PP&E = 120 / 2.5 = $48
Therefore, the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
The forecasted value of property, plan and equipment for the period for the statement quoted above is $48. The calculations can be implied by using the values given in the formula.
The value of the property, plan and equipment is important for estimating the current, short run and long run capital requirements of the firm for a given period using the ratios.
The values given to us are as the capital assets turnover ratio is 2.5 and the forecasted costs of goods sold is $80 whereas the forecasted revenues of the firm is $120.The calculation of estimated property, plan and equipment of a firm can be calculated by using the formula as given below by putting the available values.[tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {Forecasted\ Revenues}{Capital\ Assets\ Turnover\ Ratio}\\\\\\\\\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {\$120}{2.5}[/tex]We get the forecasted PP&E of the firm as below, [tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \$48[/tex]Therefore the value obtained for the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48.Hence, the correct statement of the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48 when the forecasted revenues are $120 and the assets turnover ratio stands at 2.5.
