Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Total number of pieces per year = 1,000
Selling price per piece = $100 per piece
So, Total revenue = $100 × 1,000 = $100,000
Raw material = $20,000
Investment = $100,000
So, interest on investment = 10% × $100,000 = $10,000
Opportunity cost = $40,000
So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula,
Economic profit = Total revenue - Raw material - interest on investment - Opportunity cost
By putting the value, we get
Economic profit = $100,000 - $20,000 - $10,000 - $40,000
= $30,000
EZ-Tax is a tax accounting practice with partners and staff members. Each billable hour of partner time has a $800 budgeted price and $375 budgeted variable cost. Each billable hour of staff time has a budgeted price of $210 and a budgeted variable cost of $120. For the most recent year, the partnership budget called for 5,000 billable partner-hours and 20,000 staff-hours. Actual results were as follows:
Partner revenue $4264,000 5200 hours
Staff revenue $4510,000 22,000 hours

c. Mix variance $85,000 $180,000 $265,000 F
d. Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partner Staff
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Budgeted variable cost per hour 375 120
Budgeted billable hours 5,000 20,000
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000
Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000
Actual billable hours 5,200 22,000
Actual billable rate per hour $820 $205
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Variance in price $20 ($5)
Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000)
Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours
= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000
= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000
= $104,000 - 110,000
= $6,000 U
Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate
= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210
= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)
= $160,000 + 420,000
= $580,000 F
Partner Staff Total
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000 $8,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000 4,275,000
Budgeted contribution $2,125,000 $1,800,000 $3,925,000
Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000 $8,774,000
Actual variable cost 1,950,000 2,640,000 4,590,000
Actual contribution $2,314,000 $1,870,000 $4,184,000
Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000
Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution
= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000
= $259,000 F
Mix Variance:
Standard contribution margin $425 $90
Volume variance 200 2,000
Mix variance = $85,000 $180,000
ABC Corporation has total assets of 120 million, total liabilities of 80 million, Goodwill of 12 million, and 4 millions of shares outstanding. If you believe the reasonable price to tangible book value should be 1.6 for this company, what is the implied share price of ABC
Answer: $16
Explanation:
Implied share price = Book value per share * Price to tangible book value
Book value per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding
= (120 - 80) / 4
= $10
Implied share price = 10 * 1.6
= $16

Explanation:
Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
In its first year, Barsky Corporation made charitable contributions totaling $30,000. The corporation's taxable income before any charitable contribution deduction was $250,000. In its second year, Barsky made charitable contributions of $15,000 and earned taxable income before the contribution deduction of $300,000. Assume neither year is 2020. Required: Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its first year. Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its second year
Answer:
Year 1:
total income before charitable contributions = $250,000
limit on charitable contributions = $250,000 x 10% = $25,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000
charitable contributions carried forward = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
Year 2:
total income before charitable contributions = $300,000
limit on charitable contributions = $300,000 x 10% = $30,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $300,000 - $15,000 - $5,000 = $280,000
Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production
Answer:
She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2. If an example belongs in both, be sure to check both boxes.
Example M1 M2
Susan has $8,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Larry has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
Raphael has $25,000 in a money market account.
Answer and Explanation:
The identification is as follows:
As we know that
M! money supply involved all the currecies that have physical existance i.e. notes, coins, demand deposits etc
While on the other hand, M2 involves M1 + near money i.e. mutual funds, checking deposits, money market etc
Since Susan has 2 year CD so it would be classified as a M2 money supply
Since larry withdraw from the bank so it would be included in M1 and M2
And, since raphael has $25,000 in money market so would be classified as a M2 money supply
The following statements provide some analysis of policy regarding the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Categorize each statement as positive or normative. Statement Positive or Normative?
a. The financial crisis was caused by faulty mathematical models that encouraged excessive risk taking.
b. The lack of effective regulation contributed to a risk-seeking culture in the financial services industry.
c. Central banks should have imposed tighter regulations on banks to prevent the financial crisis.
d. Executives of banks that received financial assistance from the government should not have received bonuses.
Answer:
Positive statement
Positive statement
normative statement
normative statement
Explanation:
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, the statement - the lack of effective regulation contributed to a risk-seeking culture in the financial services industry- can be test empirically
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - Central banks should have imposed tighter regulations on banks to prevent the financial crisis- is based on opinion. Everyone would have an opinion on what the Central bank should have done
Andrew is deciding whether to remain in the home he has lived in for the past ten years, which is located very near his work, or to move into a newer home that is located in the suburbs farther from his job. The old house was purchased for $160,000 and has a market value of $220,000. The new home can be purchased for $285,000. Which of the following is not relevant to Andrew's decision?
a. Driving distance to work
b. Cost of the old house
c. Market value of the old house
d. Cost of the new house
Answer:
The decision that is not relevant to Andrew is:
b. Cost of the old house.
Explanation:
a) The cost of the old house ($160,000) is not relevant to Andrew decision challenges. It is a sunk or past cost. Past costs are not relevant because they do not make a difference in the decision or the alternative to choose. Since Andrew will be impacted by the driving distance to work from his new house, the market value of the old house, and the cost of the new house, these are relevant in Andrew's decision.
Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
$2,250 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable
Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable
In order to safeguard the public health, environment, public beaches, water quality, and economy of south San Diego County, California, and Tijuana, Mexico, federal agencies in the United States and Mexico developed four alternatives for treating wastewater prior to discharge into the ocean.

Sports Company makes snowboards, downhill skis, cross-country skis, skateboards, surfboards, and in-line skates. The company has found it beneficial to split operations into two divisions based on the climate required for the sport: Snow Sports and Non-Snow Sports. The following divisional information is available for the past year:
Sales Operating Income Total Assests Current Liabilities
Snow Sports $57,00,000 1010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- Snow Sport 8500000 1332500 6500,000 750,000
Required:
a. Calculate each division's ROI.
b. Top management has extra funds to invest. Which division will most likely receive those funds? Why?
c. Can you explain why one division's ROI is higher? How could management gain more insight?
Answer:
Sports Company
a. Division's ROI:
SnowSports = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = 20.5%
b. Naturally, management will invest in Division SnowSports. The company earns more returns on its investment in the division.
c. One division's ROI on investment because it earned more returns from the division when compared with its investment. This shows that SnowSports is more efficient than the other division in the use of resources.
Management can gain more insight by computing the Assets Turnover ratio and the operating leverage.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales Operating Total Assets Current Liabilities
Income
Snow Sports $5,700,000 1,010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- SnowSport 8,500,000 1,332,500 6,500,000 750,000
ROI (Return on Investments) = Operating income/Total assets * 100
Snow Sports = $1,010,500/$4,300,000 * 100 = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = $1,332,500/$6,500,000 * 100 = 20.5%
you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased

Jefferson Inc. (JI) is a relatively new company that wants to improve its employee rewards, compensation, and benefits. The company understands that there are effective reward systems that will motivate employees. However, JI management is not sure which would be the best for the company. Compensation, another important area, must also be improved so that it will satisfy all employees effectively. In addition, the company wants to create benefits to keep the employees not just satisfied, but also motivated. Yet another pressing issue is deciding on the training methods that are to be used to successfully teach the new employees.
JI believes that it will be on the right path if all of these changes can be successfully accomplished. The company plans to incorporate performance appraisals so it can be sure that the rewards, compensation, and benefits are effectively distributed. Refer to Jefferson, Inc. JI management must consider implementing the many different types of benefits. These include all of the following except :__________
a. insurance packages.
b. pension and retirement programs.
c. worker's compensation insurance.
d. Social Security.
e. profit sharing.

When Crossett Corporation was organized in January, Year 1, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: Year 1, net loss of $35,000; Year 2, net income of $125,000; Year 3, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in Year 1.
Required:
a. How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, Year 1?
b. Assume that the board of directors declares a $25,000 cash dividend at the end of year 1 (remember that the year 1 and year 2 preferred dividends are due). How will the dividend be divided between the preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
a. $0
The company was organized in January, Year 1. They do not have to pay dividends because the company just started operations. The cumulative dividends are only to be paid at the end of the period so there is no dividend arrear here.
b. Preferred shareholders are meant to get:
= 4,000 shares * 50 * 6%
= $12,000 per year
As they are owed $12,000 from the first year and are now owed for the second, the dividends they will get is:
= 12,000 + 12,000
Preferred Dividends = $24,000
Ordinary shareholders get what is left:
= 25,000 - 24,000
= $1,000
In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketing. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.

Answer:
Sales Revenue - Inconsistent
Cost of Goods Sold - Inconsistent
Commission - Consistent
Shipping expense - Inconsistent
Bad debt expense - Unexplained
Salaries - Consistent
Lease of distribution center - Consistent
Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent
Advertising - Consistent
Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent
Explanation:
The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.
Evan phoned his representative when he received his most recent statement on his deferred annuity. Evan is 65 and purchased the fixed annuity seven years ago to be a conservative part of his portfolio. Evan has read and heard a lot about how the market is beginning to take off and that variable annuities have considerable growth potential. He wants to get out of the fixed annuity and purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return. The representative should:
Answer: Review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs
Explanation:
The options include:
A. Recommend that Evan consider an exchange into a variable life insurance policy because it has growth potential with a death benefit.
B. Recommend that Evan surrender the annuity and invest in bond mutual funds because they work similar and cost less.
C. Review Evan’s investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
D. Update his investor profile factors and risk tolerance, and discuss with Evan the long term focus of a variable annuity and how it will outperform the fixed annuity within the first couple of years.
Based on the information given in the question, the best thing that the representative should do will be to review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
When Evan's investor profile factors is checked, then the representative can then inform Evans about the appropriate thing to do and if it's appropriate for him to purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return.
Going ahead by getting out of the fixed annuity and purchasing a variable annuity without reviewing Evan's investor's profile isn't appropriate.
Suppose that Expresso and Beantown are the only two firms that sell coffee. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Beantown
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Expresso Advertise 8, 8 15, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 9, 9
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Expresso advertises and Beantown doesn't advertise, Expresso will make a profit of $15 million, and Beantown will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Expresso and Beantown are both profit-maximizing firms.
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $ _________ million if Beantown does not advertise. If Expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $_________ million if Beantown does not advertise.
Answer:
$15 Million
$8 Million
Explanation:
Payoff Matrix is as follows: Beantown
Expresso Advertise = Advertise Doesn't Advertise
(8,8) (15,2)
Doesn't Advertise (2,15) (9,9)
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Beantown
advertises, it follows the strategy (Advertise, Advertise)
He earns a profit of $15 million if Beantown does not Advertise, here it follows the strategy (Advertise, Doesn't Advertise).
A firm is a pure monopoly when: Group of answer choices there are only a few other very large firms selling similar products. it can sell all it can produce at any price it chooses. it is the only seller of a product that has very few close substitutes and entry into the market in the long run is unrestricted. it is the only seller of a unique product and barriers to entry prevent other sellers from entering the market in the long run.
Answer: it is the only seller of a unique product and barriers to entry prevent other sellers from entering the market in the long run.
Explanation:
A pure monopoly is referred to as a single supplier of a particular product in an industry. In such market, there no no substitute exists and such firms usually have a large market share.
They are price makers, profit maximizer, discriminate on prices and have a high barriers to entry. Due to their economies of scale, they prevent other sellers from entering the market in the long run.
) when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.

Latasha's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Latasha's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Latasha signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Latasha's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Latasha cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Latasha's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Latasha lets them know how many workers she needs for each day Of the week, In the short run, these workers are __________inputs, and the ovens are ___________ Inputs.
Answer: variable; fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed Inputs.
In the short run, variable inputs in production can be changed to adapt to the changing economic conditions while fixed inputs cannot. In the long run however, all inputs are variable and so can be changed.
As this is the short run and the workers can be changed, they are the variable inputs.
The ovens however, cannot be changed so the ovens are the fixed inputs.
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000 Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000 Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900 Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 % Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity? b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
Division A = 21%
Division B = 32.8%
Division C = 7.25%
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800
Division B = $0
Division C = ($110,700)
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
= 21% 32.8% 7.25%
Division A = 21% ($214,200/$1,020,000 * 100)
Division B = 32.8% ($746,200/$2,275,000 * 100)
Division C = 7.25% ( $118,900/$1,640,000 * 100)
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800 ($214,200 - ($1,020,000 * 17%) )
Division B = $0 ($746,200 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C =($110,700) ( $118,900 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))
Investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income (19%) $ 193,800 $ 432,250 $ 311,600
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $20,400 ($193,800 - ($1,020,000 * 17%))
Division B = ($313,950) ($432,250 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C = $82,600 ($311,600 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is ____, and a put option is ____. Group of answer choices out of the money; in the money out of the money; out of the money in the money; in the money in the money; out of the money
Answer:
in the money; out of the money.
Explanation:
Secondary market can be defined as a market where various investors sell and buy securities from other investors.
Some examples of secondary market around the world are New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange (LSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
On the other hand, the primary market refers to the market where these securities that are being sold are issued or created.
In trading and investment, a stock option can be defined as a contract that states that the buyer as the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an asset at a particular price at any time but necessarily obligational. Thus, it is strictly at the discretion of the buyer (investor).
Generally, in a long (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will rise because he or she will typically profit from a rise in price.
However, a short (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will fall because he or she will typically profit from a fall in price.
A spot rate is the cash or exchange rate placed on a contract in the stock exchange market.
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is in the money, and a put option is out of the money.

Explanation:
Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project
First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt
Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Debt = 0.4391
Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457
Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity
Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Equity = 0.5152
Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt
After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)
After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%
Now let calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)
Let plug in the formula
WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)
WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344
WACC =0.1106*100
WACC =11.06%
The following data are available relating to the performance of Seminole Fund and the market portfolio: Seminole Market Portfolio Average return 18 % 14 % Standard deviations of returns 30 % 22 % Beta 1.4 1.0 Residual standard deviation 4.0 % 0.0 % The risk-free return during the sample period was 6%. If you wanted to evaluate the Seminole Fund using the M2 measure, what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills
Answer:
0.8%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills
Using this formula
M2 =(Rp - Rf) * σ m / σ p - (Rm - Rf)
Whrere,
Rp represent Return on Seminole Fund (14%)
Rf represent Risk free rate of return(6%)
Rm represent Return on Market Portfolio(18%),
σ m represent Standard Deviation of return on market portfolio (22%)
σ p represent Standard Deviation of return on fund (30%)
Let plug in the formula
M2= (18 - 6) * 22 / 30 - (14 - 6)
M2= (12 * 0.73 ) - 8
M2= 8.8 - 8
M2= 0.8%
Therefore the percent of the adjusted portfolio that would need to be invested in T-Bills is 0.8%
