Now in the case when the covariance of return that lies between the stock and the market equivalent to zero so the beta of the stock would be zero
As if you divide by zero so the result would be zero
Therefore as per the given option, the option A is correct
Dennisport Corporation has an acid-test ratio of 1.7. It has current liabilities of $56,000 and noncurrent assets of $87,000. The corporation's current assets consist of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and inventory. Of Dennis Port current ratio is 2.3, its inventory and prepaid expenses must be:
Answer: $33600
Explanation:
Current liabilities = $56,000
Noncurrent assets = $87,000
First and foremost, we should note that:
Acid-test ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities
Therefore,
1.7 = Current Assets / $56,000
Current assets = $56000 × 1.7
= $95,200
Also,
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities
Therefore,
2.3 = Current Assets / $56,000
Current assets = $56,000 × 2.3
= $128,800
Then, the inventory and prepaid expenses will be:
= $128,800 - $95,200
= $33,600

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent
Answer:
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of equity = 15.4%
Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%
Debt-equity ratio = 0.46
Tax rate = 34%
Computation:
Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio
Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46
Equity multiplier = 1.46
Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46
Weight of equity = 0.685
Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity
Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685
Weight of Debt = 0.315
Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]
Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

It costs Crane Company $28 of variable costs and $15 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells for $76. A buyer in Mexico offers to purchase 3000 units at $30 each. Crane Company has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income
Answer:
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $28
Selling price= $30
Number of units= 3,000
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the allocated fixed costs.
Effect on income= 3,000*(30 - 28)
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
After year 3, free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant 5% a year indefinitely. The discount rate is 10%. The firm has debt of $50 million, cash of $20 million and has 10,000,000 shares outstanding. What is the price of the stock
Answer:
The price of the stock = $26.69
Explanation:
Missing question at inception is as follows "A firm expects the following free cash flows: Year 1: $10 million, Year 2: $12 million, Year 3: $15 million"
Year Cash-flows"million D. rate at 10% Discounted cash flows
1 10 0.9091 9.0910
2 12 0.8264 9.9168
3 15 0.7513 11.2695
4 315 0. 7513 236.6595
Total $266.9368
The price of the stock = Total Present value of cash flows / Number of Shares outstanding
The price of the stock = $266,936,800 / 10,000,000 shares
The price of the stock = $26.69368
The price of the stock = $26.69
Thus, the price of the stock is $26.69 per share
Note:
Present value of future cash flows at year 3 = 15*(1.05/10%-5%) = 15*(1.05/5%) = 15 * 21 = $315 million
Discount rate for each year = 1/(1+r)^1 = 1/(1+0.10)^1 = 1/1.10 = 0.90909
At the most recent staff meeting of Hyperactive Media Sales, the general manager gave you instructions to make the laptops used by the salespeople as secure as possible. You have decided to implement a new advanced sign-in process for the users. How will you explain to the general manager how using new authentication methods makes the laptops more secure
Answer:
New authentication methods such as the picture password, 2 factor authentication method, biometric identification, etc ensure that authentication credentials are safe and cannot be stolen and used from another laptop.
New authentication methods gives tougher walls of security which cannot be easily broken into thereby leaving the system protected and secure.
Due to increasing activities of cyber criminals, new and more sophisticated authentication processes are being developed giving laptops and computer systems better security as attackers are unable to exploit passwords.
Using the variable cost method, determine the selling price (rounded to the nearest dollar) for 30,000 units using the following data:
Variable cost per unit $15
Total fixed costs $90,000
Desired profit $150,000
a. $23
b. $10
c. $8
d. $15
Answer:
c. $8
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the selling price
First step is to calculate the Markup percent
Markup percent= (90,000 + 150,000) / (30,000 x 15)
Markup percent = .533
Now let calculate the selling price
Selling price=533 x $15 per unit
Selling price= $8
Therefore the Selling price will be $8

True or False: Under the average-cost pricing policy, the cable company has no incentive to cut costs.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The cable company will not have any incentive to cut costs. This is because it knows that its costs will be averaged to determine the average cost to which a certain percentage is then added to arrive at the selling price. Having the cost averaged in this way will not motivate the cable company to seek cost minimization strategies that it could use to increase its income.

List three pieces of information listed in a credit card agreement that you believe are important to review before
Explanation:
Annual Percentage Rate (APR). This is the cost of borrowing on the card, if you don’t pay the whole balance off each month. You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives
Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.
Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.
Addison Corporation is considering the purchase of equipment that would increase sales revenues by $250,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $100,000 per year. The equipment would cost $400,000 and have a 5-year life with no salvage value. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to ________.
Answer:
17.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for The simple rate of return on the investment
First step is to calculate the Depreciation
Depreciation =$400,000/5 years
Depreciation = $ 80,000
Second step is to calculate the annual incremental net operating income
Sales Revenue $250,000
Less Cash Operating Expenses ($100,000)
Less Depreciation ($80,000)
Annual incremental net operating income $70,000
($250,000-$100,000-$80,000)
Last step is to calculate the simple rate of return on the investment using this formula
Simple rate of return=Annual incremental net operating income/Initial investment
Let plug in the formula
Simple rate of return=$70,000/$400,000
Simple rate of return=0.175*100
Simple rate of return=17.5%
The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 17.5%
Comparing perfect first degree price discrimination to perfect competition one can conclude that: (i) Total social surplus is the same in either case (ii) Consumer surplus is higher under perfect
A. Only (1) is true
B. Only (ii) is true
C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
D. Neither (i) nor (i) is true
Answer:
C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
Explanation:
Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.
Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.
Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.
A company buys a machine for $68,000 that has an expected life of 8 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,250 after taxes of 36%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?
a. 3.44%.
b. 4.78%.
c. 9.56%.
d. 6.12%.
e. 38.24%.
Answer:
c. 9.56%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit / Average Investment × 100
where,
Average Profit = $3,250
Average Investment = $68,000 ÷ 2 = $34,000
Therefore,
Accounting Rate of Return = $3,250 ÷ $34,000
= 9.56 %

The denominator (net annual cash flow) = $440,000
Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 60% common equity and 40% debt to fund its $10 billion in operating assets. Furthermore, Kahn Inc. has a WACC of 13%, a before-tax cost of debt of 10%, and a tax rate of 40%. The company’s retained earnings are adequate to provide the common equity portion of its capital budget. Its expected dividend next year D1 is $3, and the current stock price is $35.
a. What is the company’s expected growth rate?
b. If the firm’s net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. Given that
WACC = 13%
Before-tax cost of debt = 10%
As we know that
WACC = After tax Cost of debt × Weight of debt + Cost of equity × weight of equity
13% = 10% × (1 - 0.40) × 0.40 + X × 0.60
13% = 6% × 0.40 + X × 0.60
13% = 2.4% + X × 0.60
10.6% = X × 0.60
X = 17.67%
Now
Cost of equity = D1 ÷ Price + g
0.1767 = $3 ÷ 35 + g
g = 9.10%
Now
B) Growth rate = (1 - payout ratio) × ROE
.0910 = ( 1 - X) × 0.2667
Payout ratio = 65.88
As we know that
ROE = net income ÷ shareholders equity
= $1.6 billion ÷ $6 billion
= 26.67%
Now the portion of the net income for the dividend would be
= 65.88 × $1.6 billion
= 1.054 billion
