the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.
6. ABC Company announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends next year. The first dividend will be $0.10 a share. The following dividends will be $0.20, $0.30, $0.40, and $0.50 a share annually for the following 4 years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.0 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay to buy one share of this stock today if your desired rate of return is 8.0 percent
Answer:
The amount willing to pay to buy one share is $6.92.
Explanation:
The announcement by company to pay annual dividend = $0.10
2nd year divident amount = $0.20
3rd year divident amount = $0.30
4th year divident amount = $0.40
5th-year divident amount = $0.50
The increase in dividend = 2 percent.
The desired rate of return = 8%
Value after year 5 = (D5 × Growth rate) / (Required rate-Growth rate)
=(0.5 × 1.02) / (0.08-0.02)
=8.5
Therefore, the current value = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=0.1/1.08 + 0.2/1.08^2 + 0.3/1.08^3 + 0.4/1.08^4 + 0.5/1.08^5 + 8.5/1.08^5
=$6.92.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
On January 1, Playa Company acquires 90 percent ownership in Seaside Corporation for $180,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $20,000. Seaside reports net assets with a book value of $200,000 and fair value of $200,000. Playa Company reports net assets with a book value of $480,000 and a fair value of $525,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Seaside. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?
Answer:
$680,000
Explanation:
Since Playa Company owns 90% of Seaside Corporation, it is considered Seaside's parent company and it must include all of Seaside's assets when it presents its consolidated balance sheet.
Total net assets reported = $480,000 (Playa's net assets at book value) + $200,000 (Seaside's net assets) = $680,000

Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest

= $632,400
Paid in capital in excess of par value, Common stock
Dividends were declared based on current market value of $31 not par value of $10 so the differnce will be catered for here.

In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.
x = 1476000 / 144
x = $10250
The car will be sold for $10250 today

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 10 years ago for $5 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $9.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $15.2 million to build, and the site requires $960,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.
What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Cash Flow amount $ _____
Answer:
$25,760,000
Explanation:
The net amount of decrease and increase of cash a business or individual owns.
To find the proper cash flow amount used as the initial investment in fixed assets, use the following:
Calculation of initial investment outflow = cost of land + cost of plant + grading cost
= $9,600,000 + 15,200,000, + $960,000
= $25,760,000
Calculation of initial investment outflow = $25,760,000
Therefore the initial investment outflow is $25,760,000

If workers leave a country to seek out better opportunities in another country, then this will move the original economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. move the original economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the right.
Answer: Shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left.
Explanation:
Workers are an input in the production of goods and services. If workers in an economy reduce in number, this would mean that there would be less workers able to produce goods and services in the country. This will invariably lead to a decrease in the amount of goods and services supplied and when there is a decrease in supply, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply curve will shift to the left to reflect this.

A lumber mill is capable of producing 10,000 board feet of lumber per day when run ten hours per day with minimal breaks. Over the past year, forestry legislation has reduced the availability of raw materials, so the mill has produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day. What is the utilization of the plant
Answer:
45.75%
Explanation:
When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...
4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575
Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.
0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%
Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $58,500 and if direct materials are $29,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
$71,500
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-
We assume conversion cost = x
Conversion cost = Labor cost + manufacturing overhead
x = $58,500 + 0.55x
x = $58,500 ÷ 0.45
= $130,000
Now the manufacturing overhead is
= Conversion cost × maufacturing overhead percentage
= $130,000 × 55%
= $71,500
We simply applied the above formula
