Answer:
Unemployment rate= 3.7%
Labor force participation rate= 64.3%
Explanation:
The adult population is 210 million
The number of unemployed adults is 130 million
The number of unemployed adults is 5 million
(a) Unemployment rate= Number of unemployed/(Number of unemployed+Number of employed)×100
= 5 million/(5 million+130 million) × 100
= 5 million/135 million×100
= 0.037×100
= 3.7%
(b) Labor force participation rate= (Number of employed+Number of unemployed)/Adult population
= (5 million+ 130 million)/210 million
= 135 million/210 million
= 0.643×100
= 64.3%

We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $12 comma 00012,000 Consumption (C) = $7 comma 2007,200 Investment (I) = $1 comma 0001,000 Government Purchases (G) = $1 comma 6001,600 Tax Collections (T) = $1 comma 2001,200 What is the value of private savings plus public savings? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.) What is the value of the current account balance CA? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.)
Answer:
The value of private savings plus public savings is $3,200
The value of the current account balance CA is $2,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public savings we would have to make the following calculation:
Total saving = private saving+public saving
Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases
Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600
Total saving =$3,200
To calculate the value of the current account balance CA we would have to make the following calculation:
value of the current account balance CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases
value of the current account balance CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600
value of the current account balance CA= $2,200

Galvatron Metals has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $1,919 and matures in 17 years. The par value is $2,000 and the company's tax rate is 39 percent. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
4.09%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,919
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = 2,000 × 6.3% ÷ 2 = $63
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.35% × 2 = 6.70%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.70% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 4.09%
railway cabooses just paid its annual dividend of 1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?
Answer:
8.24
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of purchase stock is shown below:-
Purchase price = Dividend in paid in next year ÷ (required rate of return - Growth rate)
= (1.70 ÷ (1 - 0.113)) ÷ (0.12 - (-0.113))
= 1.92 ÷ 0.233
= 8.24
Therefore for computing the purchase price we simply applied the above formula.
E6-23 (similar to) Aunt Betty Bakery reported net sales revenue of $ 59 comma 000 and cost of goods sold of $ 17 comma 000. Compute Aunt Betty's correct gross profit if the company made either of the following independent accounting errors. a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $ 4 comma 000. b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $ 4 comma 000.
Answer:
a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 + $4,000 = $21,000
gross profit = $38,000
Since ending inventory was overstated, it means that COGS were understated.
b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 - $4,000 = $13,000
gross profit = $46,000
Since ending inventory was understated, it means that COGS were overstated.
Weatherwear estimates that every unit sold and returned due to defect costs the company $200 in profits. Approximately what would Weatherwear’s total profits have been in Year 5 if all units sold and returned due to defect had been eliminated?
Answer: С. $9.5 million
Explanation:
The units that were sold and later returned due to defect in Year 5 total;
= 688 + 124 + 536 + 28 + 101 + 8 + 206 + 28 + 120 + 1,050 + 30
= 2,919 units were sold and later returned
Each unit costs the company $200 in profits so;
= 2,919 * 200
= $583,800
Weatherwear made a total profit of $8.9 million in Year 5.
If the defective units had been eliminated then the loss as a result of the units would have been added to the profits as;
= 8,900,000 + 583,800
= $9,483,800
= $9.5 million

Keidis Industries will pay a dividend of $5.15, $6.25, and $7.45 per share for each of the next three years, respectively. In four years, you believe that the company will be acquired for $69.00 per share. The return on similar stocks is 11.4 percent. What is the current stock price
Answer:
The answer is $59.85
Explanation:
This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model. It is one of the valuation methods used in valuing price of Equity/stock.
Po = D1 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + CF4 /(1 + r)^n
Po is the current worth of stocks
D1, D2, D3 is the dividend paid in year 1, 2 and 3
CF4 is the price of the company in year 4
r is the discount rate
n is the number of years
$5.15 /1.114^1 + $6.25 /1.114^2 +$7.45/1.114^3 + $69/1.114^4
$4.62 + $5.04 + $5.39 + $44.80
Current price of the stock = $59.85

Super Carpeting Inc. (SCI) just paid a dividend (D₀) of $3.12 per share, and its annual dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate (g) of 6.50% per year. If the required return (r s ) on SCI’s stock is 16.25%, then the intrinsic value of SCI’s shares is
Answer:
Intrinsic Value = $33.23
Explanation:
The intrinsic value of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model is represented as follows
D(1+g)/(r-g) = P
Price, D- dividend payable in now, ke- required rate of return, g- growth rate
D- 3.12 , g-6.50% r-6.25%
Intrinsic value = (3.12× 1.065)/(0.1625-0.065)= $33.228
Intrinsic Value = $33.23
In October of the current year, Jasmine received a $15,520 payment from a client for 32 months of rent. The rental period begins on September 1 of this year. This amounts to $485 per month.

EVA/MVA The financial statements reflect historical data, but managers' performance must be evaluated on the basis of values. To provide this information, financial analysts have developed two measures: Market Value Added (MVA) and Economic Value Added (EVA). Market Value Added represents the difference between the money stockholders have invested in the firm versus the cash they could receive if the firm were sold. The equation for MVA is:
Answer:
MVA = (Shares outstanding * Stock price) - Total common equity
Explanation:
Market value added is the excess of equity over its book value. It is the difference between money invested by stockholders and the cash they will receive if the company is sold. The higher MVA of a company means performance of the company management is good and is in the favor of stockholders.

Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $18.5 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 40 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 40 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 60 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $80. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Last Year: Earnings = $18,500,000
Shares Outstanding = 2,000,000
Earnings per share = Earnings / Shares Outstanding
= $18,500,000 / 2,000,000
= $9.25
Dividend per share, D0 = Earnings per share * Payout Ratio
Dividend per share, D0 = $9.25 * 40%
Dividend per share, D0 = $3.70
Retention Ratio = 60%
Return on Equity = 14%
Growth Rate, g = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth Rate, g = 14% * 0.60
Growth Rate, g = 8.40%
Current Price, P0 = $80.00
Next Year: Dividend per share, D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * (1 + 8.40%)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * 1.084
Dividend per share, D1 = $4.0108
Required Rate of Return = D1 / P0 + g
= $4.0108 / $80.00 + 0.0840
= 0.0501 + 0.0840
= 0.1341
= 13.41%

Dora Inc. reported the following on the company's cash flow statement: Sales $3,500,000 Net cash flow from operating activities 350,000 Net cash flow used for investing activities (100,000) Net cash flow used for financing activities (200,000) Free cash flow 290,000 What is the ratio of free cash flow to sales
Answer:
8.3%
Explanation:
Dora Inc. reported a sales of $3,500,000
The net cash flow from operating activities is $350,000
The net cash flow used for investing activities is $100,000
The net cash flow used for financial activities is $200,000
The free cash flow is $290,000
Therefore, the free cash flow to sales ratio can be calculated as follows
Free cash flow to sales ratio= Free cash flow/Sales × 100%
= $290,000/$3,500,000 × 100
= 0.0828×100
= 8.3%
Hence the ratio of the free cash flow to sales is 8.3%

Explanation:
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment: Multiple Choice understate the problem due to the existence of discouraged workers. overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary. understate the problem due to involuntary part-time employment. overstate the problem because most unemployment is cyclical.
Answer: overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
Explanation:
Unemployment is a term that is used to refer to individuals who are looking for job but can not find a job.
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment
overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
According to the Classical economists, there is increase in employment because those seeking employment do not want to work for lower wages but will rather wait for high paying jobs and this therefore leads to overstating of the unemployment rate.
Under Variable costing, fixed expenses: Select one: a. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the contribution margin b. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the gross profit c. Are expensed in the current period d. A and C
Answer:
The answer is C. Are expensed in the current period
Explanation:
Under variable costing, fixed expenses is treated as a period cost and is expensed in the current period's income statement.
Option A is incorrect because variable cost and not fixed cost cost are subtracted from sales to arrive at contribution margin
Option B is also incorrect because cost of sales and not fixed cost/expenses are subtracted from sales to arrive at gross profit.

New Gadgets, Inc., currently pays no dividend but is expected to pay its first annual dividend of $4.90 per share exactly 7 years from today. After that, the dividends are expected to grow at 3.5 percent forever. If the required return is 11.3 percent, what is the price of the stock today
Answer:
Price of stock today =$33.045
Explanation:
The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows
PV of the first dividend =
Dividend in year 7 × (1+r)^(-n)
r- 11.3%, n- 7
PV = 4.90× 1.113^(-7) = 2.315
Dividend in year 8 and beyond
PV (in year 7 terms) =4.90× 1.035/(0.113- 0.035)= 65.019
PV of dividend in year 0
=PV in year 7 × 1.113^(-7)
=65.019 × 1.113^(-7) = 30.73
Price of stock today = 2.315+ 30.73 = 33.045
Price of stock today =$33.045
What is true regarding static budgets? Select one: a. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate standard costs. b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs. c. It is also called moving or nonstationary budgets. d. All of the above
Answer:
b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs.
Explanation:
Static budget is the budget which remains the same even if there is some changes made but the flexible budget do not remain the same.
Moreover, the static budget is the main budget that used to prepare the standard cost by considering the budgeted activity level
Therefore it is the budget in which the budgeted amount should be considered in order to determine the actual cost that helps to make the flexible budget
CDB stock is currently priced at $80. The company will pay a dividend of $4.57 next year and investors require a return of 10.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock
Answer:
The answer is 5.09%
Explanation:
The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.
The formula for determining price of stock is:
Po = D1/r - g
Where Po is the price of stock
D1 is the dividend for next year
r is the rate of return
g is the dividend growth rate
$80 = $4.57/0.108 - g
Cross multiply:
8.64 - 80g = 4.57
80g = 8.64 - 4.57
80g = 4.07
g = 4.07/80
g =0.05088
g = 5.09%
