Stocks X and Y have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is CORRECT? X Y Price $25 $25 Expected dividend yield 5% 3% Required return 12% 10% a. Stock X pays a higher dividend per share than Stock Y. b. Stock Y pays a higher dividend per share than Stock X. c. Stock Y has a lower expected growth rate than Stock X. d. One year from now, Stock X should have the higher price. e. Stock Y has the higher expected capital gains yield.
Answer:
a. Stock X pays a higher dividend per share than Stock Y.
Explanation:
stock x, dividend = $1.25
$25 = $1.25 / (12% - g)
12% - g = $1.25 / $25
12% - g = 5%
g = 7%
stock y, dividend = $0.75
$25 = $0.75 / (10% - g)
10% - g = $0.75 / $25
10% - g = 3%
g = 7%
both growth rates are equal, what varies are the dividends that the stocks yield and the required rates of return

You own a portfolio of two stocks, A and B. Stock A is valued at $6,124 and has an expected return of 14.5 percent. Stock B has an expected return of 7.8 percent. What is the expected return (in percent) on the portfolio if the portfolio value is $10,375
Answer:
The expected return (in percent) on the portfolio is 11.8 percent.
Explanation:
The expected return on a portfolio refers to the addition of the products of weight in the portfolio and expected return of all the investment in the portfolio.
For this question, the expected return (in percent) on the portfolio can be calculated as follows:
Portfolio value = $10,375
Value of Stock A = $6,124
Value of stock B = Portfolio value - Value of stock A = $10,375 - $6,124 = $4,251
WA = Weight of stock A in the portfolio = Value of stock A / Portfolio value = $6,124 / $10,375 = 0.59, or 59%
WB = Weight of stock B in the portfolio = Value of stock B / Portfolio value = $4,251 / $10,375 = 0.41, or 41%
EA = Expected return of Stock A = 14.5%
EB = Expected return of Stock B = 7.8%
Therefore, we have:
Expected return on the portfolio = (WA * EA) + (WB * EB) = (59% * 14.5%) + (41% * 7.8%) = 11.8 percent
Therefore, the expected return (in percent) on the portfolio is 11.8 percent.

What is the pro-forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents amount on Twitter’s balance sheet as mentioned in the amended S-1 filed November 4, 2013
Answer:
The pro-forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents amount on Twitter's balance sheet as mentioned in the amended S-1 filed November 4, 2013 is:
$1,777,009,000
Reference was made to sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data.htm.
Explanation:
Cash and cash equivalents are company's current assets that are cash or can be converted into cash immediately. They are the most liquid of current assets.
We are all familiar with cash. Cash equivalents are short-term investments and commitments which a company can enter into using "temporarily idle cash" and they can easily be converted into cash as needed. Included in cash equivalents are bank accounts and marketable debt securities with less than 90 days' maturity period. The expression means that they are equivalent to cash but are not cash because of their ease of convertibility.
To develop the sales budget, companies must estimate both unit sales and the production cost per unit. true or false
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The sales budget is a budget that indicates the amount of goods or services that the company expects to sell in a specific period of time. In order to make the sales budget, you have estimate the amount of units you plan to sell and multiply this for the selling price per unit to get the total sells. According to this, the statement that says that to develop the sales budget, companies must estimate both unit sales and the production cost per unit is false because to develop the sales budget, companies must estimate unit sales and selling price per unit.
A company issued 8%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $550,000 that pay interest semiannually. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The journal entry to record each semiannual interest payment is:
Answer:
Debit Credit
Bond Interest Expense $22,000
Cash $22,000
Being semi-annual interest payment on bonds
Explanation:
The semi-interest payment on the bonds equals
Coupon rate × par Value × 1/2
Semi-annual interest payment = 8%× 550,000 × 1/2=22,000
Semi- annual payment = $22,000
The accounting entry to record the interest payment each time payment is made would be:
Debit Credit
Bond Interest Expense $22,000
Cash $22,000
Being semi-annual interest payment on bonds
Note that interest payment is an expense, hence to increase an expense the expense account is debit. On the other hand. the interest payment is a cash outflow, which reduces the cash asset, hence the cash account is credited.
Aspin Corporation’s charter authorizes issuance of
2,000,000 shares of common stock. Currently, 1,400,000 shares are outstand-
ing, and 100,000 shares are being held as treasury stock. The firm wishes to
raise $48,000,000 for a plant expansion. Discussions with its investment bankers
indicate that the sale of new common stock will net the firm $60 per share.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation of the sale of new common stock is shown below:-
a. Not issued = Authorized shares - Outstanding shares - Treasury stock
= 2,000,000 - 1,400,000 + 100,000
= 500,000
Now
Maximum shares = Not issued + Treasury stock
= 500,000 + 100,000
= 600,000
b. Since if we find out the number of shares that should be issued is
= $48,000,000 ÷ $60 per share
= 800,000
But the maximum shares is 600,000 so this shares would only be issued upto this limit only
Therefore the funds should not be raised
c. Now The firm could also develop extra 200,000 shares together it get amortized also.
Hence, it can sell 800,000 shares and the amount could rise to $48,000,000

Corporation has the following data as of December 31, 2018:
Total Current Liabilities $38,420 Total Stockholders' Equity$ ?
Total Current Assets 62,100 Other Assets 36,800
Long-term Liabilities 179,530 Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 264,350
Compute the debt to equity ratio at December 31, 2018. (Round your answer to two decimal places, X XX)
Total liabilities Total stockholders' equity Debt to equity ratio
Answer: 1.5
Explanation:
The debt to equity ratio will be calculated as total liabilities divided by the total equities.
The total liabilities is the sum of the total current liabilities and the long term liabilities. This will be:
= 38420 + 179,530
= $217950
Total equities will be the difference between the total assets and total liabilities. This will be:
Total asset = 264,350 + 36,800 + 62,100
= $363,250
Total equity = total asset - total liability
= $363,250 - $217,950
= $145,300
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities/total equity
= 217950/145,300
= 1.5
Discuss the logic underlying the use of three-sigma limits on Shewhart control charts. How will the chart respond if narrower limits are chosen
Answer:
The Shewhart control charts are charts used to monitor processes and behaviours in businesses statistically to ensure they are under control. They have been known to produce superb results especially with the use of the 3-sigma limits. The use of narrower limits provides practicality in testing more scenarios, the investigation of more causes and detection of more false causes.
Explanation:
The use of the 3 sigma limits in the Shewhart control charts using narrow limits provides for better control of business enterprises by ensuring that more investigations and detection of false causes are conducted. Thes gives a much more specific range of results in practice compared to the wide range approach.
The use of three-sigma limits on Shewhart control charts is simply used as an economic guide to minimize economic loss.
It should be noted that three-sigma points are used as a rational and economic guide to minimum economic loss.
It typically sets a range for the process parameter at a control limit of 0.27%. The three-sigma control limits are used for checking data from a process. These are vital to monitor behaviors and processes in business.

Using the information below for Singing Dolls, Inc., determine the total manufacturing costs incurred during the year:Work in Process, January 1 $53,000Work in Process, December 31 38,500Direct materials used 14,000Total Factory overhead 7,000Direct labor used 28,000a- $49,000.b- $95,000.c- $102,000.d- $63,500.e- $14,500.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Work in Process, January 1 $53,000
Work in Process, December 31 38,500
Direct materials used 14,000
Total Factory overhead 7,000
Direct labor used 28,000
To calculate the total manufacturing costs, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 53,000 + 14,000 + 28,000 + 7,000 - 38,500
cost of goods manufactured= $63,500
Cold Chiller Corporation (CCC) has annual sales of $10 million, cost of goods sold of 60 percent, average age of inventory of 80 days, average collection period of 35 days, average payment period of 30 days, and purchases that are 60 percent of cost of goods sold. How much does CCC have invested in its cash conversion cycle assuming a 365-day year?
Answer:
Cold Chiller Corporation (CCC)
Investment in cash conversion cycle:
= $10 million x 60% = $6million
which is invested for 145 (80 + 35 + 30) days before being realized as cash.
Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle (CCC) is a metric that expresses the time (measured in days) it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales. It gives us an indication as to how long it takes a company to collect cash from sales of inventory. Often a company will finance its inventory instead of paying for it with cash up front.
The formula for the Cash Conversion Cycle is:
CCC = Days of Sales Outstanding PLUS Days of Inventory Outstanding MINUS Days of Payables Outstanding.
CCC = DSO + DIO – DPO.
Days of Sales outstanding:
DSO = [(Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Account Receivable) / 2] / (Revenue / 365)
Days of Inventory Outstanding:
DIO = [(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory / 2)] / (COGS / 365)
Operating Cycle = DSO + DIO.
Days of Payables Outstanding:
DPO = [(Beginning Accounts Payable +Ending Accounts Payable) / 2] / (COGS / 365)
Assume that the following data characterize the hypothetical economy of Trance: money supply = $200 billion; quantity of money demanded for transactions = $160 billion; quantity of money demanded as an asset = $10 billion at 12 percent interest, increasing by $10 billion for each 2-percentage-point fall in the interest rate.
a. What is the equilibrium interest rate in Trance? _____ percent.
b. At the equilibrium interest rate, what is the quantity of money supplied, the money demanded, the amount of money demanded for transaction, and the amount of money demanded as an asset in trace?
Quantity of money supplied = $ _____ billion
Quantity of money demanded = $ _____ billion
Amount of money demanded for transactions = $ _____ billion
Amount of money demanded as an asset = $_____ billion
Answer:
a. What is the equilibrium interest rate in Trance?
The equilibrium interest rate is 6%, because it is the interest rate that brings the money supply and the money demand to equilibrium.
At 12% interest rate, the quantity of money demanded is 170 billion, while the money supply is 200 billion.
The quantity of moned demanded as an asset increases by 10 billion if the interest rate falls by two percentage points. Thus, if the interest rate falls 6 percentage points, the quantity of money demanded as an asset will increase by 30 billion, reaching 40 billion.
At this point, money demand is:
$160 billion (money demanded for transactions) + $40 billion (money demanded as an asset) = $200 billion.
Which is the same as the money supply.
b. At the equilibrium interest rate, what is the quantity of money supplied, the money demanded, the amount of money demanded for transaction, and the amount of money demanded as an asset in trace?
The quantity of money supplied is still 200 billion.
The quantity of money demanded is 200 billion.
The amount of money demanded for transactions is 160 billion.
And the amount of money demanded as an asset is 40 billion.

b) labor of the maintenance employees
c) labor of the clerical staff
Answer:
Indirect labor includes:
b) labor of the maintenance employees
c) labor of the clerical staff (factory)
Explanation:
Indirect labor is the cost of labor for all those who contribute to the production of a product, but indirectly.

If it is direct or outside production, it is not part of indirect labor.
The calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, net 30 implies that the firm is entitled to receive a 2 percent discount if it makes payment within 10 days for the goods it bought on term but the seller expects to pay full amount of the amount due in 30 days if it fails to pay within 10 days.
However, since there will be no more discount after the discount period, the cost of trade credit will continue to fall longer the payment is extended. For this question this can be demonstrated using the formula for calculating the cost of trade discount as follows:
Cost of trade discount = {[1 + (discount rate / (1 - discount rate))]^(365/days after discount)} - 1 ................... (1)
We can now applying equation (1) as follows:
For payment in 40 days
Cost of trade credit (payment in 40 days)= {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/40)} - 1 = 0.202436246672765, or 20%
For payment in 30 days
Cost of trade credit (payment in 30 days) = {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/30)} - 1 = 0.278643315029666, or 28%
Conclusion
Since the 20% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 40 days is lower than 28% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 30 days, the correct option is A. True. That is, the calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.
XYZ stock is trading at $25.75 and XYZ Jul 25 calls are trading at a premium of $2. What is the time value of the Jul 25 calls
Answer:
$125
Explanation:
Time value = Premium - Intrinsic value
Premium. = 2 or $200 i.e 2×100
Intrinsic value = 75
= $200 - $75
= $125
The time value of the Jul 25 calls will be $125.
It should be noted that the time value is simply the difference that exist between the premium and the intrinsic value. In this case, the time value will be:
= $200 - $75
= $125
The premium is gotten as 2 × 100 = $200.
Therefore, the time value of the Jul 25 calls will be $125.

(a) increase its dividend;
dividends are increased for two reasons:
the company has excess cash and it doesn't have any possible investments on handthe board and upper management want to increase the stock price and higher dividends always result in higher stock prices, even if it is only in the short run.(b) buy back some of its common stock shares;
the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low.(c) pay down some of its debt;
the company has excess cash and it considers that the cost of its debt is too high and it can get cheaper financing from other sources if needed.(d) increase its use of internal financing;
the board and upper management considers that the company needs to invest in new or existing projects and they consider that the financing costs are too high. Also, on the long run if things work well, the stock price should increase.(e) take the public firm private

What must the beta of this stock be
Answer:
0.56
Explanation:
In this question we used the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula i.e shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
12.6% = 7% + Beta × 10%
12.6% - 7% = Beta × 10%
5.6% = Beta × 10%
So, the beta is
= 5.6% ÷ 10%
= 0.56
Hence, the beta of the stock is 0.56
