Answer:
the real rate of return is 2.88%
Explanation:
The computation of the real rate of return is shown below:
As we know that
Real rate of return is
= {(1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ (1 - inflation rate)} - 1
= {(1 + 0.07) ÷ (1 + 0.04)} - 1
= 2.88%
Hence, the real rate of return is 2.88%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
What would be the approximate expected price of a stock when dividends are expected to grow at a 25% rate in each of years 2 and 3, and then grow at a constant rate of 5% if the stock's required return is 13% and next year's dividend will be $4.00?
Answer:
$68.64
Explanation:
Div₁ = $4
Div₂ = $5
Div₃ = $6.25
Div₄ = $6.5625
the terminal value at year 3 = Div₄ / (Re - g) = $6.5625 / (13% - 5%) = $82.03
P₀ = $4/1.13 + $5/1.13² + ($6.25 + $82.03)/1.13³ = $88.28/1.13³ = $68.64
In a monopolistically competitive industry, price:______
a. is most likely a bit higher than the competitive market price because of the cost of variety.
b. will exceed the monopoly price due to the destructiveness of competitive forces.
c. will be lower than the competitive price due to cost savings.
d. is contingent on the behavior of other firms because they are mutually interdependent.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
In a monopolistically competitive industry, price is most likely a bit higher than the competitive market price because of the cost of variety.
In a monopolistically competitive market, firms tend to set their prices to be higher than those of the marginal cost. This invariably translates to the fact that market is never really able to be productively efficient.
Firms in monopolistically competitive markets tend to wield the same power, since they're all price makers, they have a low degree of market power.
When operating in a constrained environment, which products should be produced? a. products with the highest contribution margin per unit b. products with the highest contribution margin per unit of the constrained process c. products with the highest selling price d. products with the lowest allocated joint cost
Answer: B. products with the highest contribution margin per unit of the constrained process.
Explanation:
When operating in a constrained environment, the products that should be produced are the products with the highest contribution margin per unit of the constrained process.
This is essential for the company to maximize its total contribution margin. This in turn will help the company in realizing revenue and also maximizing profit.
Which of the following best explains how the rise of machinery created an unfriendly relationship between industrialists and their employees?
A. The industrialist earned his income from the work of others.
B. There was a lack of unions.
C. The employees were underpaid.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
In as much as these are the only options given, then there has to be an answer there. Even though I fancy there being another answer.
But I'd say, the closest to the reason from the aforelisted is that the employees were underpaid. Since the advent of machineries, truth is that there wasn't going to be need for employees. This is because machines tend to have a much better output, better efficiency and won't need to be paid monthly in wages.
Since there isn't need for employees again, the industrialist tend to underpay the employees because they don't see their useful in the first instance
The rise of the use of machine is on the increase. The best explanation as to how the rise of machinery created an unfriendly relationship between industrialists and their employees is the employees were underpaid.
The industrialists did treat their workers bad. They make sure to keep wages as low as ever. Their attitude towards their employee was like if employee did not like the pay, the long hours and other working conditions he could quit and go to other places.
They were super-rich, living in great homes, living life lavishly abut their employees were paid little sum as if they do not have any choice.

Answer:
cash payments for operating expenses should be $329,000
Explanation:
Cash Payments for operating expenses is included in the Cash Flow from Operating Activity Section of the Statement of Cash Flows when the Direct Method of preparing this statement is selected.
This is calculated as follows :
Cash Payments for operating expenses
Operating expenses $325,000
Adjustment of changes in Working Capital
Increase in Prepaid Expenses ($69,000 - $ 60,000) $9,000
Increase in Accrued Expenses ($255,000 - $210,000) $45,000

At an output level of 17,500 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 3.26. The operating cash flow is $78,000 in this case. Ignore the effect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for 18,500 units and 16,500 units? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) DOL at 18,500 units DOL at 16,500 units
Answer:
DOL at 18,500 = 2.91 DOL at 16,500 = 3.78Explanation:
First find out the Contribution margin per unit and the fixed costs to enable you calculate the profit for the 18,500 units and the 16,500 units.
DOL = Contribution Margin/ Profit
3.26 = Contribution Margin/ 78,000
Contribution Margin = 3.26 * 78,000
= $254,280
Per unit = 254,280/17,500 = $14.53
Fixed Costs = Contribution - Profit
= 254,280 - 78,000
= $176,280
DOL at 18,500 units.
Profit = (14.53 * 18,500) - fixed costs of $176,280
= $92,525
DOL = Contribution/ Profit
= (14.53 * 18,500) / 92,525
= 2.91
DOL at 16,500 units.
Profit = (14.53 * 16,500) - 176,280
= $63,465
DOL = (14.53 * 16,500) / 63,465
= 3.78

If the net present value of a project is positive (non-zero), then the project's:________.a) PI will be less than 1. b) internal rate of return will exceed its required rate of return. c) costs exceed its benefits. d) discounted payback period will exceed the life of the project. e) payback period must equal the life of the project.
Answer:
b) internal rate of return will exceed its required rate of return.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate at which the NPV = 0. If the NPV is positive when calculated using the project's discount rate, then the IRR is going to be higher than the discount rate.
Option A is wrong because the profitability index (PI) of a project is calculated by dividing the present value of its cash flows by its cost. If the NPV is positive, it means that the present value of its cash flows will be greater than the costs, so the pI will be more than 1.
Option C is wrong because if the costs exceed the benefits, then the NPV will be negative.
Option D is wrong because that would mean that the NPV is negative.
Option E is something made up that doesn't make any sense.
ABC company had 8,000 in accounts receivable on Dec. 31, 2019. However, the company estimated that 2,000 of them would become bad debt. The company recorded the 2,000 as bad debt. What is the impact on the financial statement?
Answer:
Net income is reduced by 2,000 and the net value of receivables on balance sheet reduced by 2,000
Explanation:
Since it is given that there is $8,000 in account receivable out of which $2,000 would be estimated and recorded as a bad debt
So here the bad debt expense is recorded that means the expenses are increased that ultimately reduced the net income also at the same time the amount of receivable would also decreased by $2,000

A portfolio has 70 shares of Stock A that sell for $30 per share and 125 shares of Stock B that sell for $17 per share. (a) What is the portfolio weight of Stock A?(b) What is the portfolio weight of Stock B?
Answer:
Portfolio weight of Stock A=49.70%
Portfolio weight of Stock A=50.29%
Explanation:
Calculation for the portfolio weight of Stock A and Stock B
First step is to calculate the total amount invested in both portfolio weight of Stock A and Stock B
Stock A and Stock B Total amount invested=
(A 70 shares*$30 per share)+ (B 125 shares*$17 per share)
Stock A and Stock B Total amount invested=$2,100+$2,125
Stock A and Stock B Total amount invested=$4,225
Now let calculate the PORTFOLIO WEIGHT OF STOCK A
Using this formula
Portfolio weight of Stock A=Stock A/Stock A and Stock B Total amount invested
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio weight of Stock A=(70 shares*$30 per share)/$4,225
Portfolio weight of Stock A=$2,100/$4,225
Portfolio weight of Stock A=0.4970*100
Portfolio weight of Stock A=49.70%
Therefore the Portfolio weight of Stock A
will be 49.70%
Calculation for PORTFOLIO WEIGHT OF STOCK B
Using this formula
Portfolio weight of Stock B=Stock B/Stock A and Stock B Total amount invested
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio weight of Stock B=(125 shares*$17 per share)/$4,225
Portfolio weight of Stock B=$2,125/$4,225
Portfolio weight of Stock B=0.5029*100
Portfolio weight of Stock B=50.29%
Therefore the Portfolio weight of Stock will be 50.29%

Compute the market value of the bonds. b. What will the net price be if flotation costs are 10.5 percent of the market price?
Answer:
a. $1,320.88
b. $1,182.19
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For market value of the bond
Given that
Rate = 9%
NPER = 10
PMT = $1,000 * 14% = $140
FV = $1,000
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,320.88 i.e. equivalent to the market value of the bonds
b. Now the net price be
= Market price × (1 - flotation cost)
= $1,320.88 × (1 - 0.105)
= $1,182.19
Zebco Inc is evaluating a project that has a cost of $1,000 and will produce end-of-year net cash inflows of $500 per year for 3 years. The required rate of return for this project's is 10 percent. The difference between the project's IRR and its MIRR is closest to:_________.
a. 5.09%
b. 5.75%
c. 4.31%
Answer:
a. 5.09%
Explanation:
initial outlay = -$1,000
cash flow 1 = $500
cash flow 2 = $500
cash flow 3 = $500
the simplest way to determine the IRR and MIRR is to use an excel spreadsheet and the IRR and MIRR functions:
IRR = 23.38%
in order to us the MIRR formula, we must use the 10% rate as both financing and reinvestment rates.
MIRR = 18.29%
difference between them = 23.38% - 18.29% = 5.09%

A simple random sample of 700 individuals provides 200 Yes responses. a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses (to 2 decimals)? b. What is your estimate of the standard error of the proportion (to 4 decimals)? c. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion (to 4 decimals).
Answer and Explanation:
A. The point estimate of individuals that would provide yes responses is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is calculated by dividing number of yes responses by sample size:
p = x/n = 200/700= 0.2857
B. The standard error of the population is the square root of the product of the point estimate and it's complement divided by the sample size given by
√p(1-p)/n
=√0.2857(1-0.2857)/700= 0.0170
C. For confidence level 95%, z score is calculated 1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025
Z score checked under the table = 1.96
Boundaries=
P-1.96 *standard error and p+1.96 *standard error
= 0.2857-1.96*0.0170= -0.25238
=0.2857+1.96*0.0170= 0.31902

An investor can invest money with a particular bank and earn a stated interest rate of 8.80%; however, interest will be compounded quarterly. What are the nominal (or stated), periodic, and effective interest rates for this investment opportunity? Interest Rates Nominal rate 8.80% Periodic rate 6.12% Effective annual rate 9.00%
Answer:
nominal interest rate = 8.8%
periodic interest rate = 2.2%
the effective interest rate = 9.09%
Explanation:
nominal interest rate is the rate given to the investor = 8.8%
periodic interest rate = nominal interest rate / total number of compounding periods per year = 8.8% / 4 = 2.2%
the effective interest rate = (1 + periodic interest rate)ⁿ - 1 = (1 + 8.8%/4)⁴ - 1 = (1 + 8.8%/4)⁴ - 1 = (1 + 2.2%)⁴ - 1 = 1.0909 - 1 = 0.0909 = 9.09%

11. Paying off a consumer loan prior to its maturity Paying Off Installment Loans Some installment loans include terms that charge a penalty if the borrower pays off the loan earlier than its maturity date. The specific terms can vary so it’s important to know if a loan you’re considering provides for a prepayment penalty and if it does, what its exact terms are. A common way to compute a penalty is the sum-of-the-digits method. You and your friend recently took out installment loans. You expect to pay off your loan before its maturity date, so you made sure that the contract: Provides for the use of the Rule of 78s Does not contain a prepayment penalty clause Provides for the use of the sum-of-the-digits method Your friend didn’t anticipate being able to pay off the loan before its maturity date—until he won a lot of money in the lottery, enough to pay it off. He decided to pay off the loan today rather than invest his winnings. What’s the most likely reason why? The loan contract would use the sum-of-the-digits method to compute interest if your friend paid off the loan before its maturity date. The interest rate on the loan is lower than the rate of return your friend would earn on his investment. The contract does not contain a prepayment penalty clause. True or False: Computing interest using the sum-of-the-digits method allocates more interest at the beginning of a loan than at the end of the loan. True or False
