Top management has set a target income of 11.5% of investment center assets. What is the department's residual income

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Residual income= 346,750

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

Net income - 766,500

investment asset-3,650,000

Cost of capital - 11.5%

Residual income =  766,500 - (11.5%×3,650,000) = 346750

Residual income= 346,750

Taylor s has a beta of .78 and a debt-to-equity ratio of .2. The market rate of return is 10.6 percent, the tax rate is 34 percent, and the risk-free rate is 1.4 percent. The pretax cost of debt is 6.1 percent. What is the firm's WACC

Answers

Answer: 7.82%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Beta (B) = 0.78

Debt to equity ratio = 0.2

Market rate of return (Rm) = 10.6% = 0.106

Tax rate (T) = 34% = 0.34

Risk free rate (Rf) = 1.4% = 0.014

Pretax cost of debt (Kd) = 6.1% = 0.061

WACC =

Cost of equity (Ke) = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * B

Ke = 0.014 + (0.106 - 0.014) * 0.78

Ke = 0.014 + (0.092)*0.78

Ke = 0.014 + 0.07176

Ke = 0.08576

Equity (E) = 1

Debt (D) = 0.2

Total volume of company's finance (V) = 1+0.2 = 1.2

WACC = (E/V)*Ke + (D/V)*(1 - T)*Kd

WACC = [(1/1.2)*0.08576] + [(0.2/1.2)*(1 -0.34)*0.061

WACC = [0.0714666 + 0.00671]

WACC = 0.0781766 = 0.0782 = 7.82%

Which statement most accurately describes a conflict of commitment? It involves a monetary gain by one party over another party. It occurs when outside activities interfere with one’s responsibilities to an employer. It occurs when an institution does not follow the financial rules from a funding source. It can only occur between an institution and an outside organization.

Answers

Answer:

It occurs when outside activities interfere with one's responsibilities to an employer

Explanation:

Conflict of commitment occurs when the commitment of an employer to a defined terms of employment is shared with other engagements, either personal or with other parties which could lead to a decline in efficiency due to loss of maximum concentration.

This may not necessarily involve monetary gain but has a whole lot of ways through which it can affect productivity as concentration is shared.

It is always good to define activities that constitute conflict of commitment right from the time of forming an employment contract so that an employee can be guided with it.

Answers

Answer: Subprime mortgage loans

Explanation: In other earn higher return, subprime mortgage loans provides bankers the opportunity to charge borrowers higher rates on loans offered. This is because subprime mortgage loans are usually offered to credit defaulters. That is, customers with low credit score due to inconsistencies in their credit repayment due to late payment and poor credit history. Due to poor credit score and low tendency to repay borrowed amount, hence posing a high risk of recouping their fund, such borrowers would find it difficult to qualify for conventional mortgage plans. Subprime mortgages offers a lifeline though but at higher rates.

Thompson Company had $1,000 in office supplies at the beginning of the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, Thompson Company did an inventory of the office supplies and determined that $300 of supplies remained in the supply room unused. What is the amount of Supplies Expense at the end of the fiscal year?

Answers

Answer: Amount of supplies expense = $700

Explanation:

Given the following :

Amount of supplies at the beginning of the year = $1000

Amount of supplies which remained unused = $300

Amount of supplies expense at the end of the fiscal year = Amount of used supplies

Amount of used supplies = (amount of supplies at beginning - amount of unused supplies)

Amount of used supplies = ($1000 - $300)

Amount of used supplies = $700

Therefore, amount of supplies expense = $700

Using the assembly-line balancing procedure, which of the following is the required cycle time in minutes per unit if the daily production time is 480 minutes and the required daily output is 50 units?
a- 480
b- 0.104
c- Cannot be determined from the information above
d- 50
e- 9.6

Answers

Answer:

e - 9.6

Explanation:

Since the daily production time is 480 minutes, and the daily output is 50 units. The required cycle time in minutes per unit can be determined by;

[tex]\frac{minutes}{units}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{480}{50}[/tex]

= 9.6 min/unit

This implies that it takes 9.6 minutes to produce a unit daily. Then 480 minutes to produces 50 units daily.

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family, what amount of the claim would not be covered by insurance?

Answers

Answer: $7200

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family.

The amount of claim that would not be covered by the insurance will be:

= ($4,700 - 1,000) + ($6,000 - 2,500)

= $3,700 + $3,500

= $7,200

The demand for an electronic component is normally distributed with an average daily demand of 500 units and a standard deviation of 50. The lead time for the component is 9 days. If a service level of 95% is desired then the company's reorder point for this component would be approximately Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

4,747

Explanation:

The computation of the reorder point is shown below:-

Reorder Point = Average Daily demand × Lead time + ( Service level × (Average lead time × standard deviation of demand^2 )^ 0.5

For service probability level of 95% is 1.64

= 500 × 9 + 1.64 × (9 × 50^2)^0.5

= 4,500 + 1.64 × 150

= 4,500 + 247

= 4,747

Therefore for computing the reorder point we simply applied the above formula.

According to the dividend growth model, an increase in which of the following will increase the current value of a stock all other things equal? I. dividend amount II. discount rate III. dividend growth rate

Answers

Answer: (1.) Dividend amount (111.) Dividend growth rate

Explanation:

The divided growth model is defined by the relation:

Po = D1 / (r - g)

Where Po = current price of stock

r = discount rate and g = growth rate of the stock

D1 = Next year's Dividend

From the Gordon model; The price of stock is directly proportional to the Dividend amount, therefore, an increase in Dividend amount will result in current value of stock and vice versa.

Since the current value of stock increases as Dividend amount increases, therefore an increase in the growth rate of the Dividend will also favor increase in the current value of stock.

Based on the dividend growth model, when the following are increased, the value of the stock would increase:

I. dividend amount III. dividend growth rate

The dividend growth model is calculated as:

Value of stock = Dividend / ( Discount rate - Growth rate)

For the value of stock to be high, the numerator will have to increase or the denominator will have to decrease.

Increasing the dividend would increase the numerator and increasing the growth rate would decrease the denominator, both of which would increase stock value.

In conclusion, increasing dividend amount and growth rate will increase the value of stock.

How is your investment split between original shares and new shares? d.If you decide not to exercise your preemptive rights rather sell your rights, what is your investment in the firm after the rights offering? How is this split between old shares and rights?

Answers

Answer:

20,000 ; $117.5 million; $2,350,000; $1678500; $1,078,500

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of common stock shares owned = 50,000

outstanding shares = 2.5 million

Additional shares = 1 million

Market value of stock before rights offering = $35

Net stock price for existing shareholders ($5 discount) = $(35 - 5) = $30

A.) If you exercise your preemptive rights, how many of the new shares can you purchase?

Number of stocks / (outstanding shares ÷ additional shares)

[(50,000) ÷ (2.5 ÷1)] = 50,000/2.5 = 20,000

B.) b.What is the market value of the firm after the rights offering?

(Outstanding shares * market price) + ( additional shares * discount price)

(2.5million * $35) + (1 million * $30)

$87.5 + $30 = $117.5 million

C.) What is your total investment in the firm after the rights offering?

(stock shares held before offering * market price) + ( new shares that can be purchased * discount price)

(50,000 * $35) + (20,000 * $30)

1750000 + $600,000 = $2,350,000

D.)

Number of common stock shares *new market value after Issuance

New Market value after Issuance :

Market value of firm after offering / (outstanding + additional shares)

$117,500,000 / (2.5+1)million

$117,500,000 / 3,500,000

= $33.57

50,000 * $33.57 = $1678500

11)

Revenue from right sale :

Number of right shares * discount price

Answers

Answer:

1,172.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the invoice price

Since Semiannual is 6 month and the last interest payment was made 3 months ago that means we would have 3 months left.

Using this formula

Invoice price = Flat rate + Accrued interest

let plug in the formula

Invoice price = 1.16(1,000) + 25.00(3/6)

Invoice price=1,160+12.5

Invoice price=1,172.50

Therefore the invoice price will be 1,172.50

If the price of biscuit per packet increased from N250 to N500 and the quantity bought per week decreased from 300 to 200 packets, determine the elasticity of demand for biscuit.

Answers

Answer:

The the elasticity of demand for biscuit is -0.33.

Explanation:

Elasticity demand is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded for a commodity to a change in the price of that commodity.

The elasticity of demand for biscuit can be calculated using the following elasticity of demand formula:

Elasticity of demand =  Percentage change in Qd / Percentage change in price .................. (1)

Where Qd denotes quantity demanded.

Percentage change in Qd = [(New Quantity - Old Quantity) / Old quantity] * 100 = [(200 - 300) / 300] * 100 = -33.33%

Percentage change in price = [(New price - Old price) / Old price] * 100 = [(N500 - N250) / N250] * 100 = 100%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Elasticity of demand = -33.33% / 100% = - 0.33

Therefore, the the elasticity of demand for biscuit is -0.33.

Note that since -0.33 in absolute term |-0.33| is less than 1, the demand for biscuit is inelastic. That is, the change in the quantity demanded for biscuit responds less than the change in its price.
