Preparation of te entry for the receipt of interest on January 1, 2015 for Brenner Company
Since we were told that On January 1, 2014, Brenner Company was said to have purchased at a face value, the amount of $1,000 with 6% bond that pays the interest in January 1 this means we have to record the transaction by Debiting Cash with $30 and Crediting Interest revenue with the same amount. The $30 is been calculated as:
1,000 *.06 *1/2 =$30
Therefore the entry for the receipt of interest on January 1, 2015 is:
Dr Cash 30
Cr Interest revenue 30
A stock has an expected return of 12.6 percent, the risk-free rate is 7 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent. 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
Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 4.70% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*
Answer:
2.30%
Explanation:
Data has given as:
Yield for 1 year T-bill = 7.00%
Future inflation rate = 4.7%
In order to find the risk-free rate of return we need to deduct future inflation rate from the yield for the year
Risk-free Rate of return = 1 year T-bill yield - inflation
Risk-free Rate of return = 7.00% - 4.70%
Risk-free Rate of return = 2.30%
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
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.

Government officials have hired your consulting firm to encourage more people to use the theater . In the initial meeting, you discussed several options for increasing demand. Three suggestions are listed below. Based on your knowledge of the law of demand, what is your recommendation for each suggestion?
Suggestion 1: Reduce the price of public transportation
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 2: Increase the prices of private transportation by increasing the price of parking and gasoline
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 3: Offer monthly and yearly passes that reduce the price per ride
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Answer:
Suggestion 1: Not Recommended
Suggestion 2: Recommended
Suggestion 3: Not Recommended
Explanation:
The law of demand says that the increase in the price of the commodity will result in decrease in the utility derived from that product and as a result the consumption of the product falls.
So by keeping the law of demand in view, we can say that the:
Reduction in price of public transportation is not recommended because every transporter will start investing in public transport and we will have higher number of buses per person.The increase in the price of parking and gasoline is recommended as the increase in parking fees and gasoline cost will discourage people to buy private transportation.Offer of monthly and yearly passes to reduce the price per ride is not recommended as it encourages the cyclists to travel via bus. Hence it is not recommended.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.

The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $2.12 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 8 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $43 per share, what is the required return?
Answer:
The answer is 12.9%
Explanation:
This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model(DDM).
Po = D1/r - g
Po is the current worth of stocks
D1 is the next dividend paid
r is the rate of return
g is the growth rate
$43 = $2.12/ r - 0.08
43r - 3.44 = 2.12
43r = 5.56
r = 5.56/43
=0.129
Expressed as a percentage:
The required return for Savitz, Inc., is therefore 12.9%

Answer:
Present value for solution 2 = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cashflows
Solution 1
Cash flow in year 0 = 25,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 4,000
I = 15%
Present value = $31,502.84
Solution 2
Cash flow in year 0 = 88,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 6 = 1,400
I = 15%
Present value = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost

The stock of Wiley United has a beta of 1. The market risk premium is 11.5 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.3 percent. What is the expected return on this stock in percent
Answer:
9.41%
Explanation:
Wiley United has a beta of 1
The market risk premium 11.5%
= 11.5/100
=0.115
Risk free rate is 2.3%
= 2.3/100
= 0.023
Therefore the expected rate of return can be calculated as follows
Expected rate of return= Risk free rate+beta(market return-risk free rate)
= 0.023+1(0.115-0.023)
= 1.023(0.092)
= 0.0941×100
=9.41%
Hence the expected return on the stock is 9.41%
Firm Y has issued 500 million shares of stock at $1 par value and $200 millino in additional paid in capital. Retained earnings are $5.6 billion. What is the return on equity if net income if net income is $1.1 billion?
Answer:
Return on equity = 17.46%
Explanation:
DATA:
Issued share capital = $500m
Additional Paid-in capital = $200 million
Retained Earnings = $5.6 billion
Net Income = $1.1 billion
Return on Equity = ?
Solution
Return on equity can be calculated by dividing net income in total shareholder's equity
NOTE: ALL THE WORKINGS ARE IN 1000's
Return on equity = Net Income / Shareholder's Equity
Return on equity = 1,100,000 / (500,000 + 200,000 +5,600,000)
Return on equity = $1,100,000/6,300,000

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.
Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%. When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV. Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. If the WACC is 9%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. b. If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Answer:
d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment
While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage
Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR
Therefore option d is correct

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
A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normally distributed. $3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00 Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean. (Be sure to indicate your calculations for mean and standard deviation)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true mean we would have to calculate first the mean and standard deviation as follows:
mean=∑Xi/n
mean=$3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00/10
mean=4.7
standard deviation=√∑(Xi-mean)∧2/n-1
standard deviation=1.83
t critical=2.262
The confidence interval=mean +/- t critical*standard deviation/√10
The confidence interval=4.7 +/- 2.262*1.8338/√10
The confidence interval=(3.39, 6.01)
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
When all firms earn zero economic profits producing the output level where P=MR=MC and P=AC and there is no incentive to leave or join the market, the market is in __________.
Answer:
Long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
When all firms earn zero economic profits producing the output level where P=MR=MC and P=AC and there is no incentive to leave or join the market, the market is in long-run equilibrium.
In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.
However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.
In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.
Where, P represents the price.
Answer:
The correct answer is: long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
To begin with, the market that is refered in the question is a perfect competitive one, you can tell by the fact that the price equals the marginal revenue(MR) and that equals the marginal costs(MC) and also the price equals the average cost and that combination only happens in the competitive market and therefore that the relationship established happen when that industry is in the long run equilibrium and there is no incentive to leave or join the market.
