Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $5.05 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $77.75 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.60 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.10%
Explanation:
Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
Ke=( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g
g- growth rate in dividend, P- price of the stock, Ke- required return, D- dividend payable in now
DATA
D0- (1+g) = 5.05
g- 3.60%
P- 77.75
Note that the D0× (1+g) simply implies the dividend expected in year one, that is one year from now. And this has been given as 5.05 in the question, hence there is no need to apply the growth rate again.
Cost of equity = (5.05/77.75 + 0.036)× 100= 10.095%
Cost of equity = 10.10%
Jorgensen High Tech Inc. is a calendar-year, accrual-method taxpayer. At the end of year 1, Jorgensen accrued and deducted the following bonuses for certain employees for financial accounting purposes.
$40,000 for Ken.
$30,000 for Jayne.
$20,000 for Jill.
$10,000 for Justin.
How much of the accrued bonuses can Jorgensen deduct in year 1 under the following alternative scenarios?
(Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
Jorgensen paid the bonuses to employees on March 1 of year 2, and there is a requirement that the employee remain employed with Jorgensen on the payment date to receive the bonus.
Answer:
May deduct 100,000 in year 2 because the amount weren’t fixed at end of year 1 reason been that the employees are tend to be eligible to receive the bonuses only in a situation where they are employed on date that bonuses were been paid.
Explanation:
Calculation of How much of the accrued bonuses can Jorgensen deduct in year 1
March 1 of Year 2
Ken 40,000
Jayne30,000
Jill20,000
Justin 10,000
Total 100,000
In March 1 of year 2 the amount of $ 100,000 may
likely be deducted reason been that it was paid within 2 and a half months of year end.
Since we were told that Jorgensen paid the bonuses to employees on March 1 of year 2 and was as well told that the employee remain employed with Jorgensen on the date of the payment in order to receive the bonus this means that May deduct 100,000 in year 2 because the amount weren’t fixed at end of year 1 reason been that the employees are tend to be eligible to receive the bonuses only in a situation where they are employed on date that bonuses were been paid.
Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exactly three months from today. The current exchange rate is AUD/JPY = 90 (i.e., 1 Australian Dollar (AUD) is worth 90 Japanese Yen (JPY)). The current interest rates in Australia and Japan are 3% p.a. and 0.5% p.a., respectively.Given this information, please answer the following questions. Please label your answers according to parts.(a) Given that Australian Dollar is the domestic currency, what is the direct quote of the exchange rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen ? Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(b) What is the theoretical current forward exchange rate quoted directly in terms of Australian Dollar (i.e. JPY/AUD) for delivery three months from today ? Show your input to the formula to arrive at the final answer. Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(c) How can the firm take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million ? (Hint: Which derivative instrument can be used to achieve this objective?(d) Ignoring the cost of the derivative instrument to be used in part (c), what would be the outcome from hedging if the spot exchange rate in 3 month’s time is (i) AUD/JPY=150 and (ii) AUD/JPY = 50?
Answer:
An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer
a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:
A$ 1 = ¥90
Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90
b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:
= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90
= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90
= ¥351.26214 =A$1
c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.
d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:
(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:
Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =
A$ 1,333,333.33333
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667
(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:
Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =
A$4 million
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million
Explanation:
a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.
b) If A$ 1 = ¥90
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.

Grossnickle Corporation issues 20-year, noncallable, 7.1% annual coupon bonds at their par value of $1,000 one year ago. Today, the market interest rate on these bonds is 5.5%. What is the current price of the bonds, given that they now have 19 years to maturity
Answer:
Price of bond= $1,185.72
Explanation:
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
annual coupon rate = 7.1%
Annual Interest payment =( 7.1%×$1000)= $71
Annual yield = = 5.5%
PV of interest payment
= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- interest payment, r- yield - 5.5%, n- no of periods -19 periods
= 71× (1-(1.055)^(-19))/0.055)
= 71× 11.60765352
= 824.143
Step 2
PV of redemption value (RV)
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 19, r- 5.5%
= 1,000 × (1+0.055)^(-19)
= 361.579
Step 3
Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV
$824.143 + $361.579
Price of bond= $1,185.72
Consider the Northern California territory of Nova generates a sales revenue of $320,000 with four salespeople. The territory accounts for 10% of the total instrument rental market of $64 million. Thus, the market share and productivity of salespeople in this territory are __________ respectively.
Answer: e)5% and $80,000
Explanation:
$320,000 was generated by the salespeople in this territory.
This territory comprises 10% of a $64 million market.
Territory comprises of = 10% * 64,000,000 = $6,400,000
Their market share is therefore;
= [tex]\frac{320,000}{6,400,000}[/tex] * 100%
= 5%
Four people made sales of $320,000.
Their productivity = [tex]\frac{320,000}{4}[/tex]
= $80,000

Westbrook Financial Services, Inc. invested $15,000 to acquire 7,250 shares of Cloud Investments, Inc. on March 15, 2015 This investment represents less than 20% of the investee's voting stock. On May 7, 2018, Westbrook Financial Services, Inc. sells 2,250 shares for $12,250. Which of the following will be the correct journal entry for the May 7, 2018 transaction? (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.) 12,250
A. Cash 12,250
Gain on Disposal 12,250
B. Cash 12,250
Equity Investments 12.250
C. Loss on Disposal 12,250
Equity Investment 12,250
D. Cash 12,250
Equity Investments 4,657
Gain on Disposal 7,593
Answer:
D. Cash 12,250
Equity Investments 4,657
Gain on Disposal 7,593
Explanation:
Since Westbrook's investment doesn't represent a significant influence on Cloud, the equity method for recording investments is not required. So the investment and related transactions must be reported at fair market value.
In this case, since cash is received, cash account must be debited by $12,250. The initial cost of the stocks that were sold = ($15,000 / 7,250) = $2.07 x 2,250 stocks = $4,657, so that amount must be credited to equity investment account (it decreases).
Finally, the gain resulting from this transaction = sales price - cost = $12,250 - $4,657 = $7,593.
If 10,000 units that were 40% completed are in process at November 1, 80,000 units were completed during November, and 12,000 were 20% completed at November 30, the number of equivalent units of production for November was 75,600. (Assume no loss of units in production and that inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.)
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Number of equivalents units= 78,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 10,000 units that were 40%
Units completed= 80,000
Ending inventory= 12,000 were 20% completed
We will determine the number of equivalents units using the following structure:
COST PER EQUIVALENT UNITS:
Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Beginning work in process = 10,000*0.6= 6,000
Units started and completed = 80,000 - 10,000= 70,000
Ending work in process completed= 12,000*0.2= 2,400
= 78,400
Q2) The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $3.21 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
11.64%
Explanation:
The next dividend payment for Savitz Inc. is $3.21 per share
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
The current stock price is $42 per share
Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows
R= Next dividend payment/Current stock price + growth rate
= $3.21/$42 + 0.04
= 0.0764+0.04
= 0.1164×100
= 11.64%
Hence the required rate of return is 11.64%
In 1947, the largest brewer in the U.S., Schlitz, had a 4.57 percent share of the domestic market. (Anheuser-Busch was number four in those days). The top ten brewers, including the number one brewer, had 29.29 percent of the domestic market. Over 70 percent of the domestic market was controlled by "all other" brewers. By the year 2001 the largest brewer was Anheuser-Busch, with a 54.76 share of the domestic market. The top ten brewers held 97.04 percent share of the domestic market in 2001. Thus, the brewing industry in the U.S. became a(n) _____ market structure.
Answer:
oligopoly
Explanation:
In an oligopoly market structure, a small number of companies control all or most of the market. In this case, the top 10 brewers in the US control 97.04% of the total beer market. In an oligopoly, no single company controls the market. in this case, even though Anheuser-Busch has a 54.76% share of the market, competition still exists with the other companies.
A new customer wants to open an account at your firm. When you ask him for a street address, he tells you that he will be moving soon to a different apartment complex and wants to use his business address. Which statement is TRUE about this?
A. The only address to be used for Customer Identification purposes is the client's residence address and the account cannot be opened
B. The business address can be used for Customer Identification purposes and the account can be opened
C. If a residence address is not available, the address to be used for Customer Identification purposes is a P.O. Box
D. The account cannot be opened
Answer: B. . The business address can be used for Customer Identification purposes and the account can be opened
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a new customer wants to open an account at a firm and that when he was asked for his street address, he said that he will be moving soon to a different apartment complex and wants to use his business address.
Since the customer will be moving to a new apartment and therefore may not yet know his street address, the customer can use his business address for identification purpose. Therefore, the customer can open the account.
You run a medium-sized farming equipment repair firm in North Dakota. Your busiest season is the late fall through winter months when area farmers need repairs done to their equipment. Because you have limited cash flow, keeping extra people on your payroll is expensive and undesirable. You have determined that each worker must work 120 hours per month and you can repair an average of 42 machines each month. If their labor productivity rate is 0.52 how many workers can you employ at your company
Answer:
0.67
Explanation:
Let x be the number of labors we need to employ at our company
If 120 hours of labor prepare 42 machines and productivity rate is 0.52 then the equation would be like
x*0.52*120hours = 42 machines
x = 42/(0.52x120)
x = 0.67
Consider 2 scenarios: Boom Economy and Normal Economy. The Boom economy has 30% chance of happening, while Normal economy has 70% chance of happening. For each scenario (Boom and Normal), stock ABC has a return of 25%, and 4%, respectively; stock XYZ has a return of 10% and 6.5%, respectively; the market portfolio has a return of 12% and 5% respectively.
Requried:
a. Calculate Expected return, Variance and Standard deviation for stock ABC and XYZ.
b. Based on your results in part (1), can you decide which stock to invest?
c. Calculate Beta for stock ABC and XYZ.
Answer:
A) Expected Return of Stock ABC = Probability of Boom * Return of ABC in boom+Probability of Normal * Return of ABC in norma
ER = 30% * 25% + 70% * 4% = 10.30%
Expected Return of Stock XYZ = Probability of Boom * Return of XYZ in boom+Probability of Normal*Return of XYZ in norma
ER = 30% * 10% + 70% * 6.5% = 7.55%
Variance of Stock ABC = 30% * (25%-10.30%)^2 + 70% * (4%-10.30%)^2 = 0.9261%
Variance of Stock XYZ = 30% * (10%-7.55%)^2 + 70% * (6.5%-7.55%)^2 = 0.02573%
Standard Deviation of ABC =0.9261%^0.5 = 9.62%
Standard Deviation of XYZ =0.02573%^0.5 = 1.60%
B) Coefficient of Variation of ABC=Standard Deviation of ABC/Expected Return of ABC =9.62%/10.30%=0.93
Coefficient of Variation of XYZ=Standard Deviation of XYZ/Expected Return of XYZ =1.60%/7.55%=0.21
Stock with less Coefficient of variation to be chosen as lower Coefficient of variation show lower risk in relation to the return.
Hence stock XYZ is best for investment.
C) Expected Return of Market =30% *12% + 70% * 5% = 7.1%
Variance of Market =30% * (12% - 7.1%)^2 + 70% * (5%-7.1%)^2 = 0.1029%
Covariance of Stock ABC and Market = 30% * (12% - 7.1%) * (25% - 10.30%) + 70%*(5% - 7.1%) * (4% - 10.30% )= 0.0030870
Beta of ABC = Covariance of Stock ABC and Market / Variance of Market
Beta ABC = (0.0030870 / 0.1029%) = 3.00
Covariance of Stock XYZ and Market =30% * ( 12% - 7.1%) * (10% - 7.55%) + 70% * (5% - 7.1%) * (6.50% - 7.55%) = 0.000515
Beta of Stock XYZ = Covariance of Stock XYZ and Market /
Variance of MarkeT
Beta XYZ = (0.000515 / 0.1029%) = 0.5
As a farmer, Gary Forsythe is familiar with the economics of perfect competition. How is the price at which he sells his corn determined
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
a) It is determined by Gary because he has a product that many people want.
b) The price is determined by combining the actions of all buyers and all sellers together.
c) The price he will receive is primarily determined by a few buyers at the local grain bin.
d) The government sets the price of the corn to level the playing field for everyone.
e) The price will be approximately 25 percent higher than what other farmers are selling the same corn for because Gary is an astute businessperson.
And the correct answer is the option B: The price is determined by combining the actions of all buyers and all sellers together.
Explanation:
To begin with, the structure of market known as ''perfect competition" is considered to be the one in where the price of the product is determined by the interaction between all the buyers and sellers of the market due to the fact that there is huge amount of them and the product that is being sell is homogenous so that means that there is no difference between buying to one or other producer. That is why that the sellers and buyers are known as "price-takers".

Q4) Lohn Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $13, $9, $6, and $2.75. Afterward, the company pledges to maintain a constant 5 percent growth rate in dividends forever. If the required return on the stock 10.75 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$58.70
Explanation:
The computation of the current share price is shown below:
But before that we need to find out the value after year 4 which is shown below:
Value after year 4 is
= (D4 × Growth rate) ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= (2.75 × 1.05) ÷ (0.1075 - 0.05)
= $50.2173913
Now current share price is
= Future dividends × Present value of discounting factor(10.75%,time period)
= $13 ÷ 1.1075 + $9 ÷ 1.1075^2 + $6 ÷ 1.1075^3 + $2.75 ÷ 1.1075^4 + $50.2173913 ÷ 1.1075^4
= $58.70

A Caterpillar tractor acquired on January 12 at a cost of $171,000 has an estimated useful life of 25 years. Assuming that it will have no residual value. a. Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method. Round your answer to the nearest cent if rounding is required. Depreciation First year $ 6,840 Second year $ 6,840 b. Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method. Round your answer to the nearest cent if rounding is required.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-
Depreciation
= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25
= $6,840
For First year = $6,840
For Second year = $6,840
It would be the same for the remaining useful life
b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 25
= 4%
Now the rate is double So, 8%
In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60

Donald invests the $10,000 today. Donald’s interest rate is 10% and interest is compounded and paid at the end of each year. At the end of two years, Donald’s investment is worth $12,100. What is the present value of Donald’s investment?
Answer:
The present value of Donald's investment is $10,000.
When the investment's worth of $12,100 is discounted by the discount factor of 10% in two years, the resulting figure is $10,000 ($12,100)/1.21.
Explanation:
Present value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. To calculate the present value of an investment, the future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate. The calculation of the present value is a consideration of the time value of money. This means that money received today is worth more than the same amount received in the future. So, to compensate for inflation, which alters the value of money due to time, it is expected that some interest be paid. Any interest received above the inflation rate can be regarded as profit.
The Present Value Formula is given as C/(1 + i)ⁿ, where
C = Future sum
i = Interest rate (with '1' equal to 100%)
n = number of periods.
They want to make a profit of $55,498 Unit Variable costs = $11 Unit selling price is = $37 Fixed costs = $18,470 How many units do they need to sell to make the desired profit?
Answer:
2,845 units
Explanation:
To find the answer you need to consider that the profit is equal to the sales minus the costs.
Let's consider that x is the number of units sold
Sales= Price per unit*number of units sold
Sales= 37x
Variable cost= Cost per unit*number of units sold
Variable cost= 11x
Fixed cost= 18,470
55,498=37x-11x-18,470
55,498+18,470=26x
73,968=26x
x=73,968/26= 2,845
According to this, the answer is that they need to sell 2,845 units to make the desired profit.
