Suppose you sold a futures contract on gold 3 months ago when the futures price was $1,350 per ounce. Each contract is on 100 ounces of gold. The contract is closed out today. The current futures price is $1,340.
Part a. What was your position?
Part b. What was the buyer’s position?
Part c. Calculate your loss/gain on the contract

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answers are provided below

Explanation:

a. What was your position?

My position will be the difference between the past future price when I sold the good and the current future price which is then multiplied by the contract size. This will be:

= ($1,350 - $1,340) × 100

= $10 × 100

My position = $1,000

b. What was the buyer’s position?

The buyer's position will be the opposite of mine. This will be:

= ($1,340 - $1,350) × 100

= -$10 × 100

= -$1000

Buyer's position = -$1,000

c. Calculate your loss/gain on the contract.

The profit will be the difference between the selling price and the closing price multiplied by the contract size. This will be:

= ($1,350 - $1,340) × 100

= $10 × 100

= $1,000

My profit = $1,000

Cash flows of two mutually exclusive projects are as follows. Project A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Project B has initial cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume the interest rate is 10% per year. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Two projects have different life cycle
B. Project A should be selected.
C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17.
D. The present worth of project B is -$109,842.22.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Project A:

Costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year.

Project B:

The initial cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life.

Assume the interest rate is 10% per year.

Both projects present a 3-year life cycle.

To determine which option is correct, we need to calculate the net present value using the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

Project A:

Cf1= 30,000/1.10= 27,272.73

Cf2= 30,000/1.10^2= 24,793.39

Cf3= 45,000/1.10^3= 33,809.17

Total= 85,875.29

NPV= -80,000 + 85,875.29= 5,875.29

Because the net present value is positive, Project A should be accepted.

Project B doesn't provide income, therefore it shouldn't be accepted.

When your father was born 46 years ago, his grandparents deposited $450 in an account for him. Today, that account is worth $25,000. What was the annual rate of return on this account

Answers

Answer:

9.1%

Explanation:

To calculate the annual rate of return on this account you can use the following formula:

r = ( FV / PV )^1/n - 1, where

r= rate of return

FV= future value= 25,000

PV= present value= 450

n= number of periods of time= 46

r=(25,000/450)^(1/46)-1

r=55.56^0.0217-1

r=1.091-1

r=0.091 → 9.1%

According to this, the annual rate of return on this account was 9.1%.

Answers

Answer:

D. 76.6 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

First Calculate the Contribution

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = (60,000 units × $ 12.40) -  ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)

                     = $744,000 - $174,000

                     = $570,000

Then Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio

Contribution Margin Ratio = $570,000 / $744,000 × 100

                                           = 76.61290

b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? Yes If so, how large? 6 percent.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit? Entry
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

Answers

Answer: The answers are given below

Explanation:

a. What is its percentage rate of return?

From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:

= $5.50/$50 × 100%

= 0.11 × 100%

= 11%

b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?

The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:

= 11% - 5%

= 6%

The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.

c. Will this industry see entry or exit?

There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.

d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?

Answers

Answer:

Price of Bonds=$848.286

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for James Corporation  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield

A-semi- annul interest payment:

=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75

r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%  

n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28

PV of interest payment:  

=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)

= 697.88

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40

Step 3

Price of bond

=697.88 + 150.40

=$848.286

Answers

Answer:

loss= $2,035.33

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $203,433.00

Accumulated depreciation= $183,089.70.

The company found a company that is willing to buy the equipment for $18,308.97.

The gain or loss from selling an asset depends on the book value. If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.

Book value= purchasing price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 203,433 - 183,089.7= 20,343.3

Gain/loss= 18,307.97 - 20,343.3= $2,035.33 loss

b. $1.2742
c. $1.4284
d. $1.3750
e. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) $1.5415

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Annual deposit rate for dollar =6%

Annual deposit rate for Euro = 4%

n = 5 years

The present spot rate of Euro =$1,4015

The next step is to obtain the implied rate for the Euro.

Thus

Implied rate = $1,4015[(1.06)/(1.04)]^5

= $1,4015 * 1.019230769^5

=$1,4015* 1.099923877

=$1.5415

Hence the implied rate for Euro 5 years from now is $1.5415

Garden Corporation uses cost-plus pricing with a 30% mark-up. The company is currently selling 12,000 units at $21.45 per unit. Each unit has a variable cost of $11.50. In addition, the company incurs $60,000 in fixed costs annually. If demand falls to 10,000 units, how much will the company have to charge per unit in order to earn the same annual profit

Answers

Answer:

$23.44

Explanation:

The computation of profit charge per unit for earning same annual profit is shown below:

Given that

No of Units Sold =       12,000

Sale Price of each Unit   = $21.45

Variable Cost     = 11.50

So,

Contribution Per Unit is

= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

= $21.45 - $11.50

= $9.95

So,

Total Contribution  is

= 12,000 units × $9.95

=  $119,400

And,

Fixed Costs for the year is $60,000

So, the Profit for the year is

= Contribution margin - fixed cost

= $119,400 - $60,000

= $59,400

Now If the demand for the product falls to 10,000 Unit  

So we assume Number of units expected to be sold is10,000

Since Variable cost Per Unit  is 11.50

So, the Total Variable Cost is

= 10,000 units × $11.50

= $115,000

And,

Fixed Cost per annum  $60,000

Expected Profit        $59,400

So, the total amount is

= $115,000 + $60,000 + $59,400

= $234,400

So, the price per unit charged is

Answers

Answer:

1. B) $4,200,000

2. D) $3,300,000

3. B) $900,000

Explanation:

1. Total net assets = Total assets - Total Liabilities

=(1,000,000+300,000+8,500,000) - (1,200,000 + 400,000 + 4,000,000)

=9,800,000 - 5,600,000

=$4,200,000

2. The amount that should be reported for net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt is

=(Capital assets- Accumulated Dep) - Long term debt

=(8,500,000 - 1,200,000) - 4,000,000

=7,300,000 - 4,000,000

=$3,300,000

3. The amount that should be reported for net assets, unrestricted is

=Total Net assets - Net of related debt

=4,200,000 - 3,300,000

=$900,000

You are considering purchasing a stock that currently sells for $50. The expected price of the stock in a year is $45, and during the coming year a $2 dividend is expected to be paid. The risk-free rate is 5% and the market return is 10%. The stock has a beta of 0.85. What is the holding period return of the stock

Answers

Answer:

The holding period return of the stock is - 6 %  or - 6.0%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

You are thinking of purchasing a stock that currently sells for= $50

The expected price of the stock =$45

Dividend expected to be paid =$2

Risk free rate = 5%

Market return = 10%

Stock (beta) = 0.85

We will now find the holding period return of the stock which is given below:

The formula for calculating the holding period return of a stock is  given as,

= The Expected price in a year + Dividend earned during the year – Purchase Price  / Purchase Price

We recall that:

The Purchase Price = $ 50  

Expected price in a year = $ 45

Dividend earned during the year = $ 2

Now,

By Applying the above values in the formula we have the holding period return of the stock as :

=  [45 + 2 – 50] / 50

= - 3 / 50

= - 0.0600 = - 6.00 %

= - 6.0 % ( when rounded off to one decimal place )

Therefore, the Holding period return of the stock is - 6 %  or - 6.0%

Cretically analyse the difference and the point of convergence between floor inspection and functional inspection

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The connection between Floor and Function Inspection is that these two techniques are used to eliminate and identify defective raw materials prior to the development of the same. Quality is the key priority for both processes, where standards are reviewed and evaluated to ensure that the operation continues correctly.

The distinction between the two is that in Floor Inspection the system inspects the material in process doe the machine or at the time of production to ensure that each and every machine or floor is working effectively. It is to make share the material processing costs don't go out or it could easily be found by hand and defect.

The Functional Inspection, on the other hand, will have the key feature tested which the product is supposed to perform. For instance, if the same has the right speed and output, the electric motor could be tested up. It doesn't inform us about the variability throughout all parts but gives us an overall view of the satisfaction that comes from investigating the same commodity.

E. Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.

Answers

Answer:

The employee facing ethical dilemmas is SELENA because Salena is responsible for deciding whether she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force

Explanation:

Ethical dilemma can be seen as the way in which a person or an individual is finding it hard to make a decision between two alternatives due to the difficulty in deciding on the one to accept or reject ,Which is why ETHICAL DILEMMAS may lead to arising of complexity out of the situational conflict in which choosing one alternative may result in transgressing another.

Although no matter the difficulty on deciding on which one to go for a choice has to be made between the two equally undesirable alternatives.

Therefore a person or an individual often faces ethical dilemmas on their day to day activities , because knowing how to do the right thing as well as knowing the difference between the one that is right and wrong can be difficult and often times subjective which is what Salena was facing by finding it hard to decide on the two alternatives which is either she should upgrade the manufacturing unit with new machines and reduce costs or retain the impoverished manual labor force.

A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $100 per day. Assume that the additional vehicle would be capable of delivering 1,500 packages per day and that each package that is delivered brings in ten cents in revenue. Also assume that adding the delivery vehicle would not affect any other costs.

Required:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to S200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC? Should the firm add a delivery vehicle under these circumstances?
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to SIOO per day but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?

marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit

MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150

marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.

b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)

MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?

MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75

MRC = $100

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

1a. What is the company's total annual cost for the Mega Tax software, if 332 returns are filed?

b. If 424 returns are filed?

c. If 522 returns are filed?

2a. What is the company's cost per return for the Mega Tax software, if 332 returns are filed?

b. If 424 returns are filed?

c. If 522 returns are filed?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the total annual cost in each case is shown below:

Total annual cost = Annual fee + license per tax return × number of returns filed

a. For 332 returns

= $403 + $11 × $332

= $403 + $3,652

= $4,055

b. For 424 returns

= $403 + $11 × $424

= $403 + $4,664

= $5,067

c. For 522 returns

= $403 + $11 × $522

= $403 + $5,742

= $6,145

2. Now the cost per return is

Cost per return = Total annual cost ÷ number of returns filed

a. For 332 returns

= $4,055 ÷ 332 retunrs

= $12.21

b. For 424 returns

= $5,067 ÷ 424 returns

= $11.95

c. . For 522 returns

= $6,145 ÷ 522 returns

= $11.77
