Answer: 8.60%
Explanation:
Weighted Average cost of capital = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (After tax cost of debt * Weight of debt)
Weight of debt = Debt-equity ratio / (1 + Debt-equity ratio)
= 73% / (1 + 73%)
= 42.1965%
Weight of Equity = 1 / (1 + Debt - equity ratio)
= 1 / 1.73
= 57.8035%
WACC = (11.3% * 57.8035%) + (4.9% * 42.1965%)
= 8.60%
The estimated beta for RDG is 0.74. The risk free rate of return is 4 percent and the Equity Risk Premium is 5 percent. What is the required rate of return for RDG using the CAPM
Answer:
7.7%
Explanation:
Given :
Risk free rate of return = 4%
Risk premium = 5%
Estimated beta = 0.7
Using the CAPM relation :
The expected return = Risk free rate + (Risk premium * Estimated Beta)
Expected Return = 4% + (5% * 0.74)
Expected Return = 4% + 3.7%
Expected Return = 7.7%

Granger Printing currently uses a manufacturing facility costing $560,000 per year; 90% of the facility's capacity is currently being used. A start-up business has proposed a plan that would utilize the other 10% of the facility and increase the overall costs of maintaining the space by 11%. If the incremental method were used, what amount of cost would be allocated to the start-up business
Answer:
the amount of cost that allocated is $61,600
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cost that allocated is shown below;
= The costing of the manufacturing facility × increase percentage of the overall cost for maintaining the space
= $560,000 × 11%
= $61,600
hence, the amount of cost that allocated is $61,600
If the reserve requirement was 13% and a bank customer makes a deposit of $440 at the Springfield Bank, the initial result would be: Group of answer choices
Answer:
O a $382.8 increase in excess reserves and a $57.2 increase in required reserves.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
If the reserve requirement was 13% and a bank customer makes a deposit of $440 at the Springfield Bank, the initial result would be:
O a $57.2 increase in excess reserves and a $382.8 increase in required reserves.
O a $382.8 increase in excess reserves and a $57.2 increase in required reserves.
O a $57.2 increase in required reserves and a $2,944.6 increase in excess reserves.
O a $440 increase in required reserves and a $2.944.6 increase in excess reserves.
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
There are two types of reserves
Required reserveExcess reserveRequired reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.13 x $440 = $57.20
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$440 - $57.20 = $382.80
Poole Co. acquired 100% of Mullen Inc. on January 3, 2021. During 2021, Poole sold goods to Mullen for $2,500,000 that cost Poole $1,850,000. Mullen still owned 30% of the goods at the end of the year. Cost of goods sold was $11,200,000 for Poole and $6,600,000 for Mullen. What was consolidated cost of goods sold?
a) $15,105,000.
b) $15,300,000.
c) $15,495,000.
d) $17,800,000.
Answer:
c) $15,495,000.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the consolidated cost of goods sold
First step is to calculate the Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =($2,500,000 − $1,850,000)*30%
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$650,000 × (30%)
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$195,000
Now let calculate the Consolidated COGS
Using this formula
Consolidated COGS = Parent's COGS+Subsidiary's COGS -COGS in Intra-Entity Transfer+Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Let plug in the formula
Consolidated COGS=$11,200,000+ $6,600,000− $2,500,000+ $195,000
Consolidated COGS= $15,495,000
Therefore the consolidated cost of goods sold is
$15,495,000
A liquidity trap is a situation in which: _________
a. using expansionary monetary policy is not effective because, the nominal interest rate is almost zero.
b. lenders are trapped by large loans with declining rates of return. using expansionary monetary policy is not effective, because the real interest rate is negative.
c. aggregate demand falls, because consumers do not have enough liquidity to consume.
d. using expansionary fiscal policy is not effective because, the budget is in a deficit.
In monetary policy, reference to a zero bound on interest rates means that the central bank can no longer reduce the interest rate to encourage economic growth. As the interest rate approached the zero bound, the effectiveness of monetary policy as a tool was assumed to be reduced.
Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 500 $2.40 Apr. 20 Purchase 400 2.50 700 units of inventory were sold during the month. Ending inventory assuming FIFO would be:
Answer:
Ending inventory= $500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 500 $2.40
Apr. 20 Purchase 400 2.50
700 units of inventory were sold during the month
First, we need to determine the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 900 - 700= 200
Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated into the inventory.
Ending inventory= 200*2.5
Ending inventory= $500
Paraguay Pipes Inc. has a cost of equity of 11.1 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 5.7 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. The company's bonds sell for 93.1 percent of par. The debt has a book value of $393,000 and total assets have a book value of $947,000. If the market-to-book ratio is 2.59 times, what is the company's WACC?
Answer: 9.5978%
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the total book value of equity will be the difference between the total assets book value and the total debt book value which will be:
= $947,000 - $393,000
= $554,000
Then, we'll calculate the market value which will be:
= market-to-book ratio × book value
= 2.59 × $554,000
= $1,434,860
Then, the after tax cost of debt will be:
= 5.7(1 - Tax rate)
= 5.7(1 - 35%)
= 5.7(1 - 0.35)
= 5.7(0.65)
= 3.705%
Equity = $1,434,860
Debt = $393,000 × 93.1%
= $365883
Total market value = $1,800,743
WACC = Respective costs × Respective weights
= ($1,434,860/$1,800,743 × 11.1%) + ($365883/$1,800,743 × 3.705%)
= 0.08845 + 0.007528
= 0.095978
= 9.5978%

he appropriate discount rate for the following cash flows is 8 percent compounded quarterly. Year Cash Flow 1 $700 2 700 3 0 4 1,100 What is the present value of the cash flows
Answer:
Thus, the present value is $2045.52.
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the present value:
Present value = FV ÷ (1 + r/4)^(n*4)
Present value :
[tex]=\frac{700}{(1 + \frac{0.08}{4} )^{1 \times 4} } + \frac{700}{(1 + \frac{0.08}{4} )^{2 \times 4} } + \frac{0}{(1 + \frac{0.08}{4} )^{3 \times 4} } +\frac{1100}{(1 + \frac{0.08}{4} )^{4 \times 4} } \\ \\= \frac{700}{1.0824}+\frac{700}{1.1716} +0+\frac{1100}{1.3727} \\= 2045.52[/tex]
Thus, the present value is $2045.52.

In the Marigold, maintenance costs are a mixed cost. At the low level of activity (40 direct labor hours), maintenance costs are $300. At the high level of activity (300 direct labor hours), maintenance costs are $1650. Using the high-low method, what is the variable maintenance cost per unit and the total fixed maintenance cost
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (1,650 - 300) / (300 - 40)
Variable cost per unit= $5.1923
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 1,650 - (5.1923*300)
Fixed costs= $92.31
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 300 - (5.1923*40)
Fixed costs= $92.31

The market risk premium is 10 percent, and T-bills are currently yielding 5 percent. The company's most recent dividend was $1.6 per share, and dividends are expected to grow at a 5.5 percent annual rate indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 per share, what is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity? Use the average from CAPM and Dividend Growth Model calculations."
Answer:
CAPM = 12.30%
Dividend Growth Model= 10.32%
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market premium)
5% + (0.73 x 10%) = 12.30%
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
$35 = $1.6 x (1.055) / (r - 0.055)
r = 1.688 / 35 + 0.055 = 0.1032 = 10.32%

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $24. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.32 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $27. The stock's beta is 0.6, rf is 10%, and E[rm] = 20%. What is the stock's abnormal return?
Answer:
2%
Explanation:
Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100
= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100
= 18%
Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)
= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)
= 16%
Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return
Abnormal return = 18% - 16%
Abnormal return = 2%

A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $43,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $6,800 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $10,700. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
Answer:
$19,550 and $10,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
First step is to calculate the Indirect wages
Indirect wages = [43,000 - (6800+10700)]/2
Indirect wages= 43,000-17500/2
Indirect wages=24,500/2
Indirect wages = 12,750
Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z,
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y
=6800 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y = $19,550
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z=10,700 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z= 23450
Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$19,550 and $10,250
