Sheridan Corp is looking to invest in a three-year bond that makes semi-annual coupon payments at a rate of 5.825 percent. If these bonds have a market price of $985.63, what yield to maturity can she expect to earn?
Answer:
The annual YTM will be = 0.063496 or 6.3496% rounded off to 6.35%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a bond is as follows,
YTM = [ ( C + (F - P / n)) / (F + P / 2) ]
Where,
C is the semi annual coupon payment in case of semi annual bondF is the Face value of the bond P is the current value of the bond n is the number of semi annual periods to maturity in case of the semi annual coupon bond
Assuming that the face value of the bond is $1000.
Coupon payment - semi annual= 1000 * 0.05825 * 6/12 = 29.125
Number of semi annual periods = 3 * 2 = 6
YTM - semi annual= [ (29.125 + (1000 - 985.63 / 6)) / (1000 + 985.63 / 2)
YTM - semi annual= 0.031748 or 3.1748% rounded off to 3.17%
The annual YTM will be = 0.031748 * 2 = 0.063496 or 6.3496% rounded off to 6.35%
Advertising is an expenditure that ultimately must be justified in terms of its effect on sales and profits, yet most evaluations of advertising are in terms of the effects on consumer attitudes. How do you account for this apparent mismatch
Answer: Emphasis must be made on sales and profits, with the central position being how the customer perceive this goods
Explanation:
Advertisement should be aimed at improving sales and expanding the market for goods. Advertisement is not just to bring customers but also inform them on updates about products. Although customers attitude are needed, this helps the manufacturer or producer to know feedback on what the market is saying, as this cannot be ignored. Emphasis must be made on sales and profits, with the central position being how the customer perceive this goods.
The apparent mismatch is producers looking solely to what the customers are saying rather than considering profit, market expansion, sales, all surrounded by the customer as the focus

What is the maximum mortgage payment (PITI) a lender would allow for a conventional loan based on the housing expense ratio?
Answer:
The maximum mortgage payment (PITI) a lender would allow for a conventional loan based on the housing expense ratio is:
$1,506.40
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Lisa works 40 hours at $18 an hour
Lisa weekly income = 40 * $18 = $720
Lisa monthly income = 40 *$18 * 4 = $2,880
Dave weekly income = $625
Dave's monthly income = $625 * 4 = 2,500
Total joint monthly income = $5,380
b) If Lisa and Dave, her husband, file jointly for taxes, then the maximum mortgage payment (PITI) they can make is 28% of the gross income.
Therefore PITI = $5,380 * 28% = $1,506.40
c) The housing expense ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income devoted to housing expenses, which should not exceed 36% of your monthly or annual gross income. According to the general rule, the household expense payments, primarily rent or mortgage payments, cannot exceed more than 28% of the monthly or annual income.

On December 31, 2017, Extreme Fitness has adjusted balances of $800,000 in Accounts Receivable and $55,000 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. On January 2, 2018, the company learns that certain customer accounts are not collectible, so management authorizes a write-off of these accounts totaling $10,000. What amount would the company report as its net accounts receivable on December 31, 2017
Answer:
Accounts receivable is $745,000
Explanation:
The company would report as net receivable, the total amount on accounts receivable minus total amount on the Allowance for uncollectible Accounts, which implies that the balance represent the amount of credit that will not be possible to collect again hence, the value represent balance on net accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable = Adjusted balance in accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= $800,000 - $55,000
= $745,000

Determine the market price of a $485,000, 10-year, 8% (pays interest semiannually) bond issue sold to yield an effective rate of 10%.
Answer:
Bond Price= $424,588.28
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $485,000
Number of periods= 10*2= 20
Interest rate= 0.08/2= 0.04
YTM= 0.1/2= 0.05
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 19,400*{[1 - (1.05^-20)] / 0.05} + [485,000/1.05^20)
Bond Price= 241,766.88 + 182,791.4
Bond Price= $424,588.28
The investor is worried that the beta of his portfolio is too high, so he wants to sell some stock C and add stock D, which has a beta of 1.0, to his portfolio. If the investor wants his portfolio to have a beta of 1.72, how much stock C must he replace with stock D
Answer: $36,000
Explanation:
First calculate the individual weights for the different stocks as this will help with the calculation of beta.
Total amount invested = 16,000 + 48,000 + 96,000 = $160,000
Stock A weight = 16,000/160,000 = 10%
Stock B weight = 48,000/160,000 = 30%
Stock C weight = 96,000/160,000 = 60%
Stock D is to be bought by replacing some of stock C which means that the weight of stock C in the new beta calculation will be exactly less than 60% by the weight of D.
Assuming the weight of d is x, beta is;
Portfolio beta = ∑(weight of stock * beta)
1.72 = (10% * 1.3) + (30% * 1.8) + ((60% - x) * 2.2) + ( x * 1)
1.72 = 0.13 + 0.54 + 1.32 - 2.2x + x
1.72 = 1.99 - 1.2x
1.2x = 1.99 - 1.72
x = (1.99 - 1.72) / 1.2
x = 0.225
Weight of stock D will be 0.225 which is how much of stock C will have to be sold.
The amount of stock C that should be replaced by D is therefore;
= 160,000 * 0.225
= $36,000
The book value per share of stock is the amount of money an investor would have to pay to purchase a share of stock in an open market. This statement is
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The book value per share of stock can be defined as a measure of the total amount of value associated with a net asset that an investor is entitled to when he or she buys a share of stock.
The book value per share of stock is a ratio of the equity gotten by an investor to the amount of outstanding shares.
Hence, the book value per share of stock is not the amount of money an investor would have to pay to purchase a share of stock in an open market. This statement is completely false.
Your goal is to earn an annual salary of $100,000 three years from now. You expect to increase your salary by 6.5 percent annually. How much do you need to earn this year if you are going to reach your goal?
a. $72,988.08
b. $82,784.91
c. $87,878.88
d. $84,363.13
Answer:
$87,878.88
Explanation:
Calculation How much do you need to earn this year
Using this formula
PV = FV/ (1 + r )^n
Where,
FV =Future Value=$100,000
PV = Present Value
r = rate of interest=6.5%
n= no of period=3 years
Let plug in the formula
PV = $100,000 / ((1 + 6.5%)^3)
PV = $82,784.91
Therefore the amount you need to earn this year will be $82,784.91

Globalization forces small businesses to compete worldwide. The result of globalization is that operation manager (OM) or owner must do which of the following to stay competitive:
Answer:
- Making sure the cost of their asset management is as low as possible
- Maximize their product delivery
- Making sure that their price of operation is efficient
- making sure price of their product is competitive
Explanation:
Due to globalization, businesses are forced to compete on foreign markets that they might not be familiar with. In such situations, lowering cost of production while maintaining the quality of their products is the best thing that they can do to maintain a healthy profit margin. This can be done by lowering the cost that they need to make maintenance of their assets and minimizing the cost they need to acquire materials.
On top of lowering cost of production, they also need to provide better services and reasonable price range for the costumers. They need to put a good customer service call along with on time delivery to keep customers happy.

A perfectly competitive firm should shut down immediately in order to incur only fixed costs whenever the price is
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are the following:
a) Higher than the average total cost.
b) Higher than the average variable cost.
c) Lower than the break-profit point.
d) Lower than the average variable cost.
And the correct answer is the option D: Lower than the average variable cost.
Explanation:
To begin with, a perfect competitive firms works in a market that has an homogeneous product as well as a lot of sellers and consumers so therefore that they are all price takers given the forces of the market and their interactions. Moreover, in the proper graphic of the perfect competition market the different cost curves and the incomes curves will show how the market behaves according to the quantities and the prices given for those quantities. So the firm will always have to shut down the production when in the graphic the price is lower than the average variable cost given the fact that from that point down the firm will not be able for cover the fixed costs.
Quantitative Problem: 5 years ago, Barton Industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,000 face value and a 9% coupon, semiannual payment ($45 payment every 6 months). The bonds currently sell for $896.87. If the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt
Answer:
7.67%
Explanation:
The Excel rate function can be used to determine the before-tax cost of debt as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper=number of semiannual coupons in the remaining 20 years=20*2=40
pmt=semiannual coupon=$45
pv=current amrket price= $896.87
fv=face value=$1000
=rate(40,45,-896.87,1000)=5.11%
5.11% is the semiannual yield
yield to maturity=5.11%*2=10.22%
after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost debt*(1-tax rate)
tax rate=25%
after-tax cost of debt=10.22%*(1-25%)=7.67%
To what extent might the slow service be a source of employee irritation and dissatisfaction
Answer:
Slow service can be an extension and source of employee irritation and dissatisfaction. In any business, you rely on employees to perform simultaneous tasks. It is a team effort. Good management usually incentives good work. As a result, when you have an employee or a cluster of employees that are not satisfied the service will more likely be poor. For example, a fast-food restaurant may have two employees that are dissatisfied with the manager. These employees will look for any distraction and will abuse breaks and so forth. The attention to detail will be minimized and items on the menu will be missing something. Finally, the business will suffer in the long run. Customers will complain and the food will have to be prioritized. Customers will leave if it is taking too long. As a team, when one or two slack off the entire team suffers. Think of a football game if two players decide to try and make all the points and fail in doing so. They have jeopardized the potential of winning or producing.
Explanation:
