Q4) An investment offers a total return of 12.8 percent over the coming year. Janice thinks the total real return on this investment will be only 7 percent. What does Janice believe the approximate inflation rate will be over the next year
Answer:
inflation rate= 5.8%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An investment offers a total return of 12.8 percent over the coming year. Janice thinks the total real return on this investment will be only 7 percent.
The real return on investment includes the effect on inflation.
Real rate of return= total return - inflation rate
0.07=0.128 - inflation rate
inflation rate= 0.058= 5.8%
The Casings Plant of Wyoming Machines makes plastics shells for the company’s calculators. (Each calculator requires one shell.) For each of the next two years, Wyoming expects to sell 160,000 calculators. The beginning finished goods inventory of shells at the Casings Plant is 20,000 units. However, the target ending finished goods inventory for each year is 5,000 units. Each unit (shell) requires 6 ounces of plastic. At the beginning of the year, 60,000 ounces of plastic are in inventory. Management has set a target to have plastic on hand equal to two months’ sales requirements. Sales and production take place evenly throughout the year. Required: a. Compute the total targeted production of the finished product for the coming year. b. Compute the required amount of plastic to be purchased for the coming year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the targeted production of the finished product is shown below:
= Expected sales units - beginning finished goods + ending finished goods
= 160,000 - 20,000 + 5,000
= 145,000 shells
b. The required amount of plastic purchased is
Plastic to be purchased = Consumed plastic + closing inventory - opening inventory
where,
Consumed plastic is
= 145,000 × 6 ounces
= 870,000 ounces
Opening inventory is 60,000 ounces
And, the closing inventory is
= 160,000 ÷ 12 months × 2 months × 6 ounces
= 160,000
So, the purchased plastic is
= 870,000 + 160,000 - 60000
= 970,000 ounces
The total targeted production of the finished product for the coming year is $145,000shells. The required amount of plastic to be purchased is 970,000 ounces.
What is inventory?All the raw materials available for production plus all the goods produced that are intended for sale are known as inventory.
A. Computing total targeted production of the finished product-
[tex]=Expected sales units - beginning finished goods + ending finished goods\\=160,000-20,000+5,000\\=145,000 shells[/tex]
B. Computing required amount of plastic to be purchased
[tex]=Consumed plastic+ closing inventory-inventory at end\\=870,000+160,000-60,000\\=970,000[/tex]
Working note-
Consumed plastic is calculated as 145,000 x 6 ounces.Closing inventory is calculated as 160,000/12 x 2 x 6.Therefore, the required amount of plastic to be purchased is 970,000.

Chester Company plans to introduce a new product. A market research specialist claims that 20,000 units can be sold at a $100 selling price. Assuming the company desires a profit margin of 22% of sales, what is the target cost per unit
Answer:
$78
Explanation:
Profit margin is the ratio of profit to sales while the profit is the difference between the sales and the cost.
As such, profit margin is the ratio of the difference between the sales and the cost to the sales.
Given that margin is 22%, it means that
22% = profit/(20,000 * $100)
Profit = $440,000
Total cost = $2,000,000 - $440,000
= $1,560,000
Target cost per unit = $1,560,000/20,000
= $78

Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?
Answer:
Price of Bonds=$848.286
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) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for James Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield
A-semi- annul interest payment:
=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75
r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28
PV of interest payment:
=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)
= 697.88
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40
Step 3
Price of bond
=697.88 + 150.40
=$848.286
A firm in a purely competitive industry has a typical cost structure. The normal rate of profit in the economy is 5 percent. This firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders.
a. What is its percentage rate of return? 11 percent.
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? Yes If so, how large? 6 percent.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit? Entry
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
Answer: The answers are given below
Explanation:
a. What is its percentage rate of return?
From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:
= $5.50/$50 × 100%
= 0.11 × 100%
= 11%
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?
The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:
= 11% - 5%
= 6%
The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit?
There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

McGovern Enterprises is interested in issuing bonds with warrants attached. The bonds will have a 30-year maturity and annual interest payments. Each bond will come with 20 warrants that give the holder the right to purchase one share of stock per warrant. The investment bankers estimate that each warrant will have a value of $10.00. A similar straight-debt issue would require a 10% coupon. What coupon rate should be set on the bonds-with-warrants so that the package would sell for $1,000?
Answer:
The multiple choices are:
6.64%
7.11%
7.48%
7.88%
8.27%
coupon rate is 7.88%
Explanation:
In determining the coupon rate to set on the bond,we need to calculate the annual coupon of the debt using the pmt formula in excel
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the coupon on similar straight debt issue
nper is number of coupons the bond would pay which is 30
pv =$1000-(value of 20 warrants)
pv=$1000-(20*$10)
pv=$800
fv id the face value of $1000
=pmt(10%,30,-800,1000)= 78.78
coupon rate=coupon amount/face value=$78.78/$1000=7.88%
A recent consumer survey conducted for a car dealership indicates that, when buying a car, customers are primarily concerned with the salesperson's ability to explain the car's features, the salesperson's friendliness, and the dealer's honesty. The dealership should be ESPECIALLY concerned with which determinants of service quality?
Answer: a. communication, courtesy, and credibility
Explanation:
The Consumer survey showed that when buying a car customers are interested in the salesperson's ability to explain what the car does and what it's has, in short it's features. This means that they would like a Salesperson that Communicates effectively, the need for the car.
Dealers should therefore be very concerned with the communication skills of their sales people.
The Consumers would also like a friendly person. This is simple Courtesy. The sales person must be able to show courtesy to the customers to entice them to buy a car and so Dealership management should be very worried about this.
A final thing the Dealer should be worried about is Credibility. Consumers want to know if the Dealer is credible in that if the claims the dealer is making is true and honest. Too many salespersons say anything to get people to buy things even if it is a lie. A car is a big investment and so consumers would very much like to avoided being lied to.
Lower of Cost or Market Black Corporation uses the LIFO cost flow assumption. Each unit of its inventory has a net realizable value of $300, a normal profit margin of $35, and a current replacement cost of $250. Determine the amount per unit that should be used as the market value to apply the lower of cost or market rule to determine Black’s ending inventory.
Answer:
$265
Explanation:
The computation of Net realizable value-normal profit margin by using the lower of cost or market rule is shown below:-
Amount per unit = Net realizable value or Ceiling - Normal profit margin
= $300 - $35
= $265
Therefore for computing the amount per unit we simply applied the above formula i.e by deducting the normal profit margin from the net realizable value so that the amount per unit could come
Given that annual deposit rates for Dollars and Euros are 6% and 4% respectively for the next 5 years. If the current spot rate of the Euro is $1.4015, obtain the implied rate for the Euro five years from now if International Fisher Equation holds exactly.
a. $1.5415
b. $1.2742
c. $1.4284
d. $1.3750
e. None of the above.
Answer:
The correct answer is (a) $1.5415
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Annual deposit rate for dollar =6%
Annual deposit rate for Euro = 4%
n = 5 years
The present spot rate of Euro =$1,4015
The next step is to obtain the implied rate for the Euro.
Thus
Implied rate = $1,4015[(1.06)/(1.04)]^5
= $1,4015 * 1.019230769^5
=$1,4015* 1.099923877
=$1.5415
Hence the implied rate for Euro 5 years from now is $1.5415
Arnell Industries has $35 million in permanent debt outstanding. The firm will pay interest only on this debt. Arnell’s marginal tax rate is expected to be 21% for the foreseeable future. a) Suppose Arnell pays interest of 7% per year on its debt. What is its annual interest tax shield? b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan?
Answer:
a) $0.5145 million
b) $7.35 million
Explanation:
Given:
Permanent debt outstanding = $35,000,000
Expected marginal tax rate = 21%
a) Suppose they pay an interest of 7% per year on debt. Find the annual interest tax shield.
To find annual interes tax shield use the formula below:
Annual interest tax shield =Total par value of Debt × interest rate × tax rate
= $35,000,000 × 7% × 21%
= $35,000,000 × 0.07 × 0.21
= $514,500
Annual interest tax shield = $0.5145 million
b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan?
Use the formula:
Present value of the interest tax shield = Annual interest tax shield /loan interest rate
= $514,500 / 7%
= $7,350,000
present value of the interest tax shield = $7.35 million
When your father was born 46 years ago, his grandparents deposited $450 in an account for him. Today, that account is worth $25,000. What was the annual rate of return on this account
Answer:
9.1%
Explanation:
To calculate the annual rate of return on this account you can use the following formula:
r = ( FV / PV )^1/n - 1, where
r= rate of return
FV= future value= 25,000
PV= present value= 450
n= number of periods of time= 46
r=(25,000/450)^(1/46)-1
r=55.56^0.0217-1
r=1.091-1
r=0.091 → 9.1%
According to this, the annual rate of return on this account was 9.1%.

Explanation:
880000 *0,15=132000
A business is considering a cash outlay of $880,000 for the purchase of land, which it intends to lease for $200,000 per year. If alternative investments are available that yield a 15 percent return, the opportunity cost of the purchase of the land is $132,000.
What is an opportunity cost rate?When economists talk about a resource's "opportunity cost," they mean the worth of the resource's next-highest-valued alternative usage.
Given
Cost of Land = $880,000
Return = 15%
Lease = $200000
Required to the opportunity cost =?
opportunity cost = cost of land x return rate
opportunity cost = 880,000 x 15 = $132,000
Opportunity cost is crucial for businesses because it helps them decide how to effectively use their limited resources and cash. A corporation can pick which choice gives the highest or most productive return by calculating the opportunity cost of a specific option or options.
Thus, the opportunity cost of the purchase of the land is $132,000.

A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $100 per day. Assume that the additional vehicle would be capable of delivering 1,500 packages per day and that each package that is delivered brings in ten cents in revenue. Also assume that adding the delivery vehicle would not affect any other costs.
Required:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to S200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC? Should the firm add a delivery vehicle under these circumstances?
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to SIOO per day but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?
Answer:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit
MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150
marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)
MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?
MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75
MRC = $100
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

want to make confetti. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 2 pounds of paper hearts at $ 4.07 per pound comma 4 pounds of sparkling stars for $ 2.71 per pound comma and 2 pounds of shiny coils for $ 4.25 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the
Answer:
Cost per pound of confetti= $3.44 per pound
Explanation:
The cost per pound of the Confetti = Total material cost divided by the total pound
Total material cost = (2×$4.07) + (4× $2.71) + ( 2× $4.25)= $27.48
Total number of pounds = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 pounds
Cost per pound of confetti = $27.48 / 8 pounds =$3.44 per pound
Cost per pound of confetti= $3.44 per pound
Ramsey Company produces speakers (Model A and Model B). Both products pass through two producing departments. Model A's production is much more labor-intensive than that of Model B. Model B is also the more popular of the two speakers. The following data have been gathered for the two products.
Model A Model B
Units produced per year 10,000 Units produced per year 100,000
Prime Costs $150,000 Prime Costs $1,500,000
Direct Labor Hours 140,000 Direct labor Hours 300,000
Machine Hours 20,000 Machine Hours 200,000
Production runs 40 Production runs 60
Inspection hours 800 Inspection hours 1200
Maintenance hours 10,000 Maintenance hours 90,000
Overhead costs:
Setup costs $270,000
Inspection costs $210,000
Machining $240,000
Maintenance $270,000
Total overhead costs $990,000
Required:
a. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours (Round to two decimal places).
b. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using ABC.
c. Using the activity-based product costs as the standard, comment on the ability of departmental rates to improve the accuracy of product costing. Did the department rate do better than the plant rate?
Answer:
a. $2.05 (two decimal places)
b. Model A = $312,000 Model B= $1,397,000
c. The use of departmental overheads rate is more accurate than the plant wide.
Explanation:
Plant wide overhead rate = Total Overheads / Total Activity
= $990,000 / (140,000 + 300,000)
= $990,000 / 440,000
= $2.04545 OR $2.05 (two decimal places)
For ABC, first calculate Cost Driver Rate as follows :
Setup costs = $270,000 / (40 +60)
= $2,700 per production run.
Inspection costs = $210,000 / (800 +1,200)
= $105 per inspection hour
Machining = $240,000 / (20,000 + 200,000)
= $1.09 per machine hour
Maintenance = $990,000 / (10,000 + 90,000)
= $9.90 per maintenance hour
The next step is to Allocate the overheads to the Products :
Model A Model B
Overhead costs:
Setup costs $108,000 $162,000
Inspection costs $84,000 $126,000
Machining $21,000 $218,000
Maintenance $99,000 $891,000
Total overhead costs $312,000 $1,397,000

E. Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.
Answer:
The employee facing ethical dilemmas is SELENA because Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force
Explanation:
Ethical dilemma can be seen as the way in which a person or an individual is finding it hard to make a decision between two alternatives due to the difficulty in deciding on the one to accept or reject ,Which is why ETHICAL DILEMMAS may lead to arising of complexity out of the situational conflict in which choosing one alternative may result in transgressing another.
Although no matter the difficulty on deciding on which one to go for a choice has to be made between the two equally undesirable alternatives.
Therefore a person or an individual often faces ethical dilemmas on their day to day activities , because knowing how to do the right thing as well as knowing the difference between the one that is right and wrong can be difficult and often times subjective which is what Salena was facing by finding it hard to decide on the two alternatives which is either she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.

Assume that you are an intern with the Brayton Company, and you have collected the following data: The yield on the company's outstanding bonds is 7.75%; its tax rate is 25%; the next expected dividend is $0.65 a share; the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year; the price of the stock is $15.00 per share; the flotation cost for selling new shares is F= 5%; and the target capital structure is 25% debt and 75% common equity. What is the firm's WACC, assuming it must issue new stock to finance its capital budget?
a. 6.89%
b. 7.24%
c. 7.64%
d. 8.55%
e. 8.44%
Answer:
WACC is 9.37%
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt=yield to maturity*(1-t)
where t is the tax rate of 25% or 0.25
after tax cost of debt=7.75%*(1-0.25)=5.81%
Using stock price formula,the cost of equity can be determined as below:
stock price=Di/k-g
Di is the next dividend of $0.65
k is the cost of equity which is unknown
g is the constant growth rate of 6.00%
stock price=$15*(1-f)
f is the flotation cost percentage
stock price=$15*(1-5%)=$14.25
14.25=0.65/k-6%
14.25(k-6%)=0.65
k-6%=0.65/14.25
k=(0.65/14.25)+6%=10.56%
WACC=Ke*We+Kd*Wd
ke is 10.56%
We is the weight of equity which is 75%
Kd is 5.81%
We is the weight of debt which is 25%
WACC==(10.56%*75%)+(5.81%*25%)=9.37%
