Quantitative Problem: 5 years ago, Barton Industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,000 face value and a 9% coupon, semiannual payment ($45 payment every 6 months). The bonds currently sell for $896.87. If the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.67%

Explanation:

The Excel rate function can be used to determine the before-tax cost of debt as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper=number of semiannual coupons in the remaining 20 years=20*2=40

pmt=semiannual coupon=$45

pv=current amrket price= $896.87

fv=face value=$1000

=rate(40,45,-896.87,1000)=5.11%

5.11%  is the semiannual yield

yield to maturity=5.11%*2=10.22%

after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost debt*(1-tax rate)

tax rate=25%

after-tax cost of debt=10.22%*(1-25%)=7.67%

There is a zero coupon bond that sells for $4,550.90 and has a par value of $10,000. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is the yield to maturity'? Assume semiannual compounding.
A. 4.47%
B. 4.27%
C. 4.31%
D. 4.24%
E. 4.42%

Answers

Answer:

E. 4.42%

Explanation:

Calculation for the yield to maturity

First step is to calculate the Current price using this formula

The Current price=Par value/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*Time period)

$4,550.90=$10,000/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*18)

(1+yield to maturity/2)^36=($10,000/$4,550.90)

1+yield to maturity/2=($10,000/$4,550.90)^(1/36)

Now let calculate the yield to maturity

Yield to maturity/2=1.0221092-1

Yield to maturity=0.0221092*2

Yield to maturity=0.0442*100

Yield to maturity=4.42%

Therefore the Yield to maturity will be 4.42%

Barbara's Bakery purchased three new 7-year assets last year. She chose NOT to use Section 179 immediate expensing or take bonus depreciation. The furnishings were purchased for $15,000 in April, the equipment for $6,000 in July, and the appliances for $40,000 in November. What amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership?

a. $16,806
b. $14,939
c. $16,163
d. $16,072

Answers

Answer:

b. $14,939

Explanation:

Property placed in service in 1st year:  

                                                Amount $

2nd quarter                              15,000

3rd quarter                                6,000

4th quarter                                40,000

Total furnishing at beginning of 2nd Year $61,000

Half Year depreciation rate in 2nd Year  as per Macrs table under "7 years life" assets, the applicable depreciation in the 2nd year is 24.49%

Thus, amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership = $61,000 * 24.49% = $14938.90

On January 1 a man deposit $5000 in a credit union that pays 8% interest, compounded annually. He wishes to withdraw all the money in five equal end-of-years sums, beginning December 31st of the first year. How much should he withdraw each year?

Answers

Answer:

he should withdraw $1,252.5 each year.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Initial deposit (P) = $5,000

n = 5

i = 8%

Now the withdrawal amount is  

AW = P(A/P, i, n)

= $5,000 (A/P, 8%, 5)

= $5,000(0.2505)

= $1,252.5

Therefore, he should withdraw $1,252.5 each year.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Ivanhoe Corporation has fixed costs of $507,200. It has a unit selling price of $9.00, unit variable cost of $7.35, and a target net income of $1,552,000.

Required:
Compute the required sales in units to achieve its target net income.

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 1,248,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary contribution margin= 9 - 7.35= $1.65

Fixed costs= $507,200

Desired profit= $1,552,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (507,200 + 1,552,000) / 1.65

Break-even point in units= 1,248,000

Jim had a car accident in 2019 in which his car was completely destroyed. At the time of the accident, the car had an adjusted basis of $40,000. Jim used the car 100% of the time for business use. He received an insurance recovery of 70% of the value of the car at the time of the accident. If Jim’s AGI for the year is $60,000, determine Jim's deductible loss on the car.

Answers

Answer:

the deductible loss on the car is $12,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Jim deductible loss on the car is shown below:

Given that

Car value = $40,000

Insurance recovery = 70%

Now the deductible loss is

= Car value - (car value × insurance recovery)

= $40,000 - ($40,000 × 70%)

= $40,000 - $28,000

= $12,000

hence, the deductible loss on the car is $12,000

A machine operates with the following production cycle:

29 minutes of setup, 90 minutes of production. While in production, the machine produces 4 parts per minute.

Required:
What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute?

Answers

Answer:

The capacity of the machine in parts per minute is 3 parts per minute

Explanation:

The Total time = 29 + 90

The Total time = 119 minutes

Total production = 4*90

Executives at worldcom committed an $11 billion fraud by capitalizing costs that should have been expensed. What was the effect of this fraud on worldcom's income statement?

Answers

Answer:

net income was too high, expenses were too low

Explanation:

From the question, we are told about how Executives at worldcom committed an $11 billion fraud by capitalizing costs that should have been expensed. In this case the effect of this fraud on worldcom's income statement is that net income was too high, expenses were too low. An income statement which can also be regarded as "profit and loss" account is a financial statement that gives the revenue as well as the expenses of a company at a particular period, so if the Executive capitalize costs that should have been expensed then it equates to the net income been too high while expenses were too low.

The next dividend payment by ASAP, Inc., will be $2.00 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 4.00% growth rate, forever. If ASAP stock currently sells for $14.75 per share, what is the required return?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return  

Plugging in the values for D1, P0 and g, we can calculate the value of r to be,

14.75 = 2 / (r - 0.04)

14.75 * (r - 0.04)  =  2

14.75r - 0.59  =  2

14.75r = 2 + 0.59

r = 2.59  /  14.75

r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%

Suppose US$1 = €0.7809 in New York and US$1 = €0.7793 in Paris. How can foreign exchange traders profit from these exchange rates? What actions can they take that may result in the same dollar/euro exchange rate in both New York and Paris? Please limit your response to one or two reasonably-sized paragraphs.

Answers

Answer:

If a Dollar is worth $ 0.7809 Euros in New York, and $ 0.7793 Euros in Paris, the way in which foreign exchange traders could obtain an economic profit through this difference would be by buying Euros in Paris, and selling them again in New York. Thus, they would obtain $ 0.016 of profit for each Euro traded in the market, with which, for example, if $ 1,000,000 of Euros were traded, a total profit of $ 16,000 would be obtained. In turn, trading the same amount in both Paris and New York, traders would not make any profit, equating both exchange rates.

Riverbed Inc. purchased land, building, and equipment from Laguna Corporation for a cash payment of $327,600. The estimated fair values of the assets are land $62,400, building $228,800, and equipment $83,200. At what amounts should each of the three assets be recorded

Answers

Answer:

Land=$54,600, Building = $200,200, Equipment = $72,800

Explanation:

Total Asset Fair Value = Land + Building + Equipment

Total Asset Fair Value = 62,400 + 228,800 + 83,200

Total Asset Fair Value = 374,400

Recorder Amount

Land = 62,400 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $54600

Building  = 228,800 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $200200

Equipment = 83,200 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $72,800

Jacklyn carves ice sculptures. She carves and sells 10 sculptures. Her average cost of production per sculpture is $50. She sells each sculpture for a price of $150. Jacklyn's total profits are:______

a. $150.
b. $1,000.
c. $500.
d. $1,500.

Answers

Answer:

b. $1,000

Explanation:

To start with, we know that the formulae for total profit is;

= total revenue - total cost.

Total revenue

= price × quantity

= $150 × 10

= $1,500

Total cost

= units sold × average cost of production per sculpture

= 10 × $50

= $500

Therefore,

Total profit = $1,500 - $500

Total profit = $1,000

When each additional worker hired contributes less than the previous worker hired to total output, we can say there are (is):_______

a. falling average productivity
b. diminishing marginal utility
c. diminishing average returns
d. diminishing marginal returns

Answers

Answer:

d. diminishing marginal returns

Explanation:

The diminishing marginal returns refer to a reduction in the marginal output where the value of the single factor would be rises keeping all other production factors the same or constant

Crane Corp. had total variable costs of $281,400, total fixed costs of $130,350, and total revenues of $420,000. Compute the required sales in dollars to break even.

Answers

Answer:required sales to break even=$395,000

Explanation:

Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses / Contribution Margin

  But

Fixed  Costs /Expenses  is given as  $130,350

And

Contribution Margin Ratio  is solved as  (Total Revenue - Variable Cost) / Total Revenue x 100  

= ($420,000-$281,400)/ $420,000 x 100

=0.33 x 100

= 33%

Break Even Sales = $130,350/33%

= $395,000

The Fried Green Tomatoes Restaurant has increased its operating cycle from 97.4 days to 101.7 days while the cash cycle has decreased by 2.9 days. How have these changes affected the accounts payable period?

a. Decreased by 11 days
b. Decreased by 5 days
c. Decreased by 1 day
d. Increased by 5 day
e. Increased by 11 days

Answers

Answer:

Increased by 7.2 days

Explanation:

As in the question it is mentioned that the operating cycle is increased from 97.4 days to 101.7 days so the difference in days is

= 101.7 days - 97.4 days

= 4.3 days

And, the cash cycle is decreased by 2.9 days

So, the total number of days would be

= 4.3 days + 2.9 days

= 7.2 days

These have been the negative impacts
