Answer:
It will take 464 weeks.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $8,400
Present value (PV)= $5,000
Interest rate (i)= 0.058/52= 0.00112
To calculate the number of weeks required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(8,400/5,000) / ln(1.00112)
n= 463.47 = 646

mvk industries just paid a dividend of $1.70 that is expected to grow at 45% per year for the next three years at a constant rate of 5.5%.If the required return on the stock is 12%, what should be the current price of the stock> g'
Answer:
$27.59
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should be the current price of the stock
Current price of common stock=(1.70*(1+5.5%))/(12%-5.5%)
Current price of common stock=(1.70*1.055)/0.065
Current price of common stock=1.7935/0.065
Current price of common stock=$27.59
Therefore what should be the current price of the stock is $27.59
Manchester Corporation, a U.S. corporation, incurred $100,000 of interest expense during the current year. Manchester manufactures inventory that is sold within the United States and abroad. The total tax book value of its U.S. production assets is $20,000,000. The total tax book value of its foreign production assets is $5,000,000. What amount of interest expense is apportioned to the company's foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes, assuming the interest expense is fully deductible in the current year
Answer:
the amount of the interest expense is $20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the interest expense is shown below;
= Interest expense × total tax book value ÷ (total tax book of U.S + total tax book value of its foreign production assets)
= $100,000 × $5,000,000 ÷ ($5,000,000 + $20,000,000)
= $100,000 × $5,000,000 ÷ $25,000,000
= $20,000
hence, the amount of the interest expense is $20,000
what number should be included in the following data so that the median is 5.2? 4,7,11,5,3
Answer:
5.4
Explanation:
To find the median, we need to arrange the numbers in numerical order.
Hence, here we have 3, 4, 5, 7, 11.
Given that the question says we should look for numbers that would be included in the following data so that the median is 5.2. Hence, we need to add the number to the set.
Therefore the total number of the set will be 6 making it an even number. Hence we have to add the two numbers in the middle and divide them by 2.
Since the median is 5.2, hence we multiply it by 2 = 10.4
Therefore, we less 5 from 10.4, we have 5.4
To check we now have a set of numbers 3, 4, 5, 5.4, 7, 11
Where 5 + 5.4 = 10.4, then divided by 2 = 5.2 as median.

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Liabilities of $25.521 million Cash of $2.010 million Total Assets of $41.309 million Total Common Stock of $1.270 million. What were the Digby Corporation's retained earnings
Answer: $14.518 million
Explanation:
Based on he information given, we have to calculate the owner's equity first which will be:
= Assets - Liabilities
= $41.309 million - $25.521 million
= $15.788 million
Since Owners equity is the addition of the total common stock and the retained earnings. Therefore, retained earnings will be:
= Owners equity - Total common stock
= $15.788 million - $1.270 million
= $14.518 million
The retained earning is $14.518 million
Taxon Corp. granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 70 million of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within five years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. The common shares had a market price of $12 per share on the grant date. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer:
$168 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
First step is to calculate the Fair value of shares represented by RSUs
Using this formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=fair value per share×shares represented by RSUs shares granted
Let plug in the formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=12 x 70million
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=$840million
Now let calculate the effect on earnings
Using this formula
Effect on earnings=Fair value of shares represented by RSUs/Vesting period
Let plug in the formula
Effect on earnings= $840 million/5 years
Effect on earnings=$168 million
Therefore effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives is $168 million
Coronado Consulting leased machinery from Island Inc. on July 1, 2021. The lease was recorded as a finance lease. The present value of the lease payments discounted at 9% was $60 million. Ten annual lease payments of $8 million are due each July 1 beginning July 1, 2021. What amount of interest expense from the lease should Coronado report in its December 31, 2021, income statement
Answer:
the amount of the interest expense is $2,340,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the interest expense is shown below:
= (present value of the lease payments - ten annual lease payments) × rate of interest × given time period ÷ total months
= ($60 million - $8 million) × 9% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $2,340,000
hence, the amount of the interest expense is $2,340,000

A perfectly elastic demand curve implies that the firm Select one: a. The demand curve for a purely competitive firm is downsloping, but the demand curve for a purely competitive industry is perfectly elastic. b. The demand curves are perfectly elastic for both a purely competitive firm and a purely competitive industry. c. The demand curves are downsloping for both a purely competitive firm and a purely competitive industry. d. The demand curve for a purely competitive firm is perfectly elastic, but the demand curve for a purely competitive industry is downsloping.
Answer: d. The demand curve for a purely competitive firm is perfectly elastic, but the demand curve for a purely competitive industry is downsloping.
Explanation:
In a purely competitive market, all the firms are selling the same product so there is a lot of competition. The market sets the price in this industry at the point where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied and the demand curve for the whole industry is downward sloping.
When it comes to the demand curve for the individual firm however, it is elastic because price is not set by the firm. This perfectly elastic demand shows that if the firm tries to sell at a price that is different from the market, quantity demanded from that firm would change by infinity because people would prefer the market price.
n a continuous review system, the average daily demand for a part is Normally distributed with mean 20 and standard deviation of 4. The lead time to receive the part from the time it is ordered is 9 days. The appropriate re-order point for this part if we want a 95% service level is a. 200 b. 20 c. 180 d. 184
Answer: 200
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the appropriate re-order point for this part if we want a 95% service level will be:
Mean demand = 20
Standard deviation of demand = 4
Lead time = 9 days
Service level = 95% = 95/100 = 0.95
Re-order Point will be:
= (demand × lead time) + (z* × std dev × ✓leadtime)
= (20 × 9) + (1.645 × 4 × ✓9)
= (180) + (1.645 × 4 × 3)
= 199.74
= 200 approximately
The re-order point is 200
You are considering the purchase of a $ par value bond with a coupon rate of % (with interest paid semiannually) that matures in years. If the bond is priced to yield %, what is the bond's current price?
Answer:
$885.65
Explanation:
Missing word "You are considering the purchase of a $1,000 par value bond with an 6.5% coupon rate (with interest paid semiannually) that matures in 12 years. If the bond is priced to provide a required return of 8%, what is the bond’s current price?"
Rate = 8% / 2
Nper = 12 * 2 = 24
Pmt = 1,000 * 6.5% / 2 = 32.5
FV = 1,000
Bond's current price = PV(rate, nper, pmt, fv)
Bond's current price = PV(8%/2, 24. 32.5, 1000)
Bond's current price = $885.65
So, the bond's current price is $885.65
g On January 1, 2020, Fotso Corporation issued 5 year bonds with a face value of $200,000 and coupon rate of 12% interest, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The market rate of interest at the time of issuance was 14%, and the bonds were issued at a discount of $14,047. Using the effective-interest method, the amount of discount that should be amortized on December 31, 2020, is
Answer:
amortization of bond discount December 31 = $1,087.88
Explanation:
bonds' issue price = $200,000 - $14,047 = $185,953
amortization of bond discount June 30 = ($185,953 x 7%) - ($200,000 x 6%) = $1,016.71
amortization of bond discount December 31 = ($186,969.71 x 7%) - ($200,000 x 6%) = $1,087.88
total interest expense Decmber 31 = $13,087.88

When Americans or Europeans expect the return on ________ assets to be high relative to the return on ________ assets, there is a ________ demand for dollar assets, everything else held constant. euro; dollar; higher dollar; euro; constant euro; dollar; lower dollar; euro; lower
Answer:
When Americans or Europeans expect the return on ___euro_____ assets to be high relative to the return on ___dollar_____ assets, there is a ___low_____ demand for dollar assets, everything else held constant.
Explanation:
This implies that the euro assets are earning more profits than the dollar assets, making the euro assets more attractive to American or European investors than the dollar assets. This follows the natural law of the market forces of demand and supply. Investors are always attracted to better yielding assets than their comparatives.
Steve Pratt, who is single, purchased a home in Spokane, Washington, for $347,500. He moved into the home on February 1 of year 1. He lived in the home as his primary residence until June 30 of year 5, when he sold the home for $705,000. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.) a. What amount of gain will Steve be required to recognize on the sale of the home
Answer: $107,500
Explanation:
There is an "Exclusion of gain on sale of home" provision by the IRS that allows for a single tax payer to exclude up to $250,000 from the sale of their primary home. A home qualifies as primary if the owner has lived in it for 2 years or more so Steve's home here is a primary home.
The gain he received was:
= 705,000 - 347,500
= $357,500
From this gain, $250,000 can be excluded so total gain recognized:
= 357,500 - 250,000
= $107,500
Company has projected the following cash flows: Year 1: 85,000; Year 2: 105,000; Year 3: 109,000; Year 4: 115,000. The valuator has determined an appropriate discount rate is 26% and the long-term growth rate is 2%. Using the Gordon Growth Model, what is the present value of the company's terminal value
Answer:
193,912
Explanation:
First and foremost, the terminal value also known as horizon value is the cash flows for the company beyond year 4 to infinity, in other words, the cash flows attributed to all periods after the first 4 years whose cash flows were highlighted.
The formula for terminal value is provided below:
TV=Year 4 cash flow*(1+ long-term growth rate)/(discount rate- long-term growth rate)
Year 4 cash flow=115,000
long-term growth=2%
discount rate=26%
terminal value=115,000*(1+2%)/(26%-2%)
terminal value=488,750
The terminal value is stated in year 4 terms, hence, needs to be discounted 4 years backward in order to determine its present value:
PV of terminal value=488,750/(1+26%)^4
PV of terminal value= 193,912
