A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?
Answer: $1.46
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares
Value of shares at current = 9,000/600
= $15 a share
Excess cash is $1,200.
Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;
= 1,200/15
= 80 shares
New number of shares = 600 - 80
= 520 shares
New EPS
= 760/520
= $1.46

The manager of a crew that installs wood floors has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks. Each worker works 40 hours per week and earns $17 per hour. The wholesale cost of lumber to the company is $5 per square foot and the company charges its customers $15 per square foot of flooring installed.
Week Crew Size Lumber Used (sq. ft.) Flooring Installed (sq. ft.)
1 4 480 420
2 3 351 325
3 2 250 238
a. Calculate labor productivity for each of the weeks.
b. Suppose that in addition to labor cost and wholesale lumber cost, the firm's overhead is 120% of its labor cost. Calculate multifactor productivity for each of the weeks shown.
Answer:
Week Crew Size Lumber Used Flooring Installed
(sq. ft.) (sq. ft.)
1 4 480 420
2 3 351 325
3 2 250 238
a)
labor productivity = total output / number of employees
week 1 ⇒ 420 / 4 = 105 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker
week 2 ⇒ 325 / 3 = 108.33 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker
week 3 ⇒ 238 / 2 = 119 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker
b)
multi-factor productivity = total output in $ / (labor + materials + overhead)
week 1 ⇒ (420 x $15) / [(4 x 40 x $17) + (480 x $5) + (4 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $6,300 / ($2,720 + $2,400 + $3,264) = 0.75
week 2 ⇒ (325 x $15) / [(3 x 40 x $17) + (351 x $5) + (3 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $4,875 / ($2,040 + $1,755 + $2,448) = 0.78
week 3 ⇒ (238 x $15) / [(2 x 40 x $17) + (250 x $5) + (2 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $3,570 / ($1,360 + $1,250 + $1,632) = 0.84
richard has two investment opportunities. He can invest in the sunglasses company or the umbrella company. if he diversifies his investment by putting 50% of his money into each company, what is the expected return and standard deviation of his portfolio
Answer:
Some information was missing, so i looked it up:
State of Prob. of the state Sunglasses Umbrella
the economy of the economy Company Corporation
Sunny .50 25% 0%
Rainy .50 0% 25%
expected returns:
Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,
so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%
standard deviation:
Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%
Yellowstone Corporation has just announced the repurchase of $125,000 of its stock. The company has 39,000 shares outstanding and earnings per share of $3.29. The company stock is currently selling for $76.09 per share. What is the price–earnings ratio after the repurchase?
Answer:
The price–earnings ratio after the repurchase is 22.18
Explanation:
First calculate Numbers of new shares
New Shares = Old Shares - ( Repurchased Shares / Price per share )
New Shares = 39,000 - ( $125,000 / $76.09 )
New Shares = 39,000 - 1,642.79
New Shares = 37,357.21 shares
New compute the old earning
Old Earning = EPS x Numbers of old shares = $3.29 x 39,000 = $128,310
New compute revised Earning per share
Revised EPS = Earning / New shares = $128,310 / 37,357.21 shares = $3.43
Now we need to calculate the Price earning ratio
P/E Ratio = Price per share / Revised earning per share = $76.09 / $3.43 = 22.18 times
Lindley Corp.'s stock price at the end of last year was $33.50, and its book value per share was $25.00. What was its market/book ratio
Answer:
1.34
Explanation:
Computation for the market/book ratio
Using this formula
Market/book ratio=Stock price/Book value per share
Let plug in the formula
Market/book ratio=$33.50/$25.00
Market/book ratio=1.34
Therefore the Market/book ratio will be 1.34.
Jackson Industries uses a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. Jackson has established the following standards for one unit of product: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80 Direct labor 2.40 hours $5.00 per hour $12.00 During May, Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200. The total factory wages for May were $258,800, 90 percent of which were for direct labor. Jackson manufactured 21,000 units of product during May using 122,800 pounds of direct material and 50,900 direct labor-hours. The price variance for the direct material acquired by Jackson Industries during May is:
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80
Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5
Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market Group of answer choices
Complete Question:
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market:
Group of answer choices.
A. which has a higher demand.
B. which has a more elastic demand.
C. which has a less elastic demand.
D. which has a higher marginal revenue.
Answer:
C. which has a less elastic demand.
Explanation:
In competitive marketing, a price-discriminating monopolist is any individual or business entity which charges various customers different prices for its finished products or services, even though the products are similar, identical or homogeneous in nature and there cost of production is the same.
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market which has a less elastic demand because there are no close substitutes or alternatives for the goods and services.
For instance, if there's a gasoline or fuel hike in a particular state, a price-discriminating monopolist would charge higher price because gasoline or fuel is inelastic in the short-run or has a less elastic demand at the time.
A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:
Answer:
-$400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)
= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)
= $14,000 - $14,400
= -$400 unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.
g According to the CAPM, what is the expected rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.2. when the risk-free rate is 6% and the market rate of return is 12%
Answer:
20.40%
Explanation:
According to CAPM :
expected rate of return = risk free rate + (beta x market rate of return)
6% + (1.2 x 12%) = 20.40%
An investor buys a $1,000 par TIPS security with 3 years to maturity, a semiannual coupon, and a 4.25% coupon rate. If inflation over the next 6 months is 2.50%, what will be the first coupon payment that the TIPS investor will receive?
Answer:
$1,184.34
Explanation:
Adjusted face value = 1,000 * (1+2.50%) ^ (3*2)
Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.025^6
Adjusted face value = 1,000 * 1.159693
Adjusted face value = $1,159.693
Final payment = Coupon + Adjusted principal
= 1,159.693 * (4.25%/2) + 1,159.693
= 1,159.693 * 0.02125 + 1,159.693
= 24.6435 + 1,159.693
= 1,184.3365
= $1,184.34

The company just paid a dividend of $4.29 per share, which it has pledged to increase at an annual rate of 3.45 percent indefinitely. What is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
Cost of Equity =11.56%
Explanation:
The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:
The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.
According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
Price = D/Kp
D- Dividend payable
Kp- cost of preferred stock
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c
This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM
Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22
E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562 %
Cost of Equity =11.56%
Compare and contrast the following forms of business organization: sole proprietorship,general partnership,limited liability company,and corporation as to ease of formation,liability of owners,management,and tax implications.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. Sole Proprietorship is owned by a single person or a married couple.
a. Ease of formation: This business is very easy to form because owners are not required to have legal documentation for the business to begin operation.
b. Liability of Owners: Owners are personally liable for the success or failure of the business. This means that they bear the cost of whatever debt or losses that are incurred in the business and can be sued for it.
c. Management: The owner makes all the management decisions that could affect the business. He sets the time when his business can be run as well as the prices for his products.
d. Tax Implications: They fill out Schedule C where they calculate the profit and loss from their business. They declare their income in Standard Form 1040 and they are subject to Self-employment tax.
2. General Partnership is a business agreement between to or more owners.
a. Ease of Formation: It is quite easy to start this business because little or no legal documentation is required to kick-start the business.
b. Liability: All partners are liable for debts and losses incurred in the business.
c. Management Decisions: The management decisions are made by the general partners. This affords them a measure of flexibility.
d. Tax implications: Income tax is not paid rather, a separate tax return form is filed.
3. Limited Liability Company: These business entities are run by two or more business partners.
a. Ease of Formation: It is relatively easy to form because it is governed by state rules and regulations which must be adhered to by the business owners.
b. Liability: There is a limited liability as just the business assets can be withheld when there is a legal battle. Personal assets of partners can not be withheld.
c. Management Decisions: There could be a member-managed LLC where members make decisions in the business or a manager-managed LLC one or two non-members are employed to manage the business and make business decisions therein.
d. Taxation: Taxation is done once and profits realized are passed through to the personal income taxes of the members.
4. Corporations are set up by a group of businesspeople.
a. Ease of Formation: They are not easy to form as proper documentation which is governed by state laws must be adhered to.
b. Liability: There is a limited liability as shareholders are not held accountable for the debts and losses of the corporation.
c. Management: There are directors of the corporation who are elected by the shareholders, They make decisions for the corporation. Business officers are also appointed.
d. Tax Implications: There are lots of taxation requirements for which the corporation might seek advice from a taxation advisor to prevent double taxation.
If, because of an externality, the economically efficient output is Q2 and not the current equilibrium output of Q1, what does D1 represent?
Answer:
Hello attached below is the complete question
D1 represents the demand curve reflecting private benefits ( c )
Explanation:
The effects of an externality is positive( shift of the demand curve to the right ) when the production of goods and service has a positive effect on the consumers ( people that are not involved in the production process ). this positive effect will lead to an increase in quantity demanded as well from consumers.
The curve ( D1 ) does not represent the social benefits for the consumers but represents the demand curve reflecting private benefits,
Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment
Answer:
The cost of the equipment is $45,416.
Explanation:
The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.
The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.
However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.
Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)
Since,
Purchase price = $41,600
Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.
Freight charges = $624
Installation costs = $696.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416
Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.
A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4.5 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Expected return on stock =14.1 0%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset pricing Model (CAPM) can be used to determined the expected return on the stock.
According to the Capital Asset pricing Model the expected return on stock is dependent on the level of reaction of the the stock to changes in the return on a market portfolio.
These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market, Ke-return on stock
Using this model, we can work out the return on stock as follows:
DATA
Ke-?
Rf- 4.5%
β-1.2 8
Rm- 12%
Ke = 4.5% + 1.28× (12-4.5)%=14.1 0%
Expected return on stock =14.1 0%
Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5%, and a 20-year bond, also with an annual coupon of 5%. Both bonds currently sell at par value. Now suppose that interest rates rise and the yield to maturity of the two bonds increases to 8%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bond?
Answer:
$922.69
Explanation:
The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:
Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the new interest rate of 8%
n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3
coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50
price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%
price of 3-year bond=$922.69
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
Full question reads;
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
a. frequency
b. consumption
c. pressures
d. rules
Answer:
a. frequency
Explanation:
Indeed, no particular human project can last forever, so there is a need to ascertain the frequency of a project, detailing how often the project would be repeated so as to also determine what the project's lifespan will be.
For example, a road construction project may take into account how often the road would be used, which provides insight into the frequency of road repairs and the overall lifetime of the car.
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
You plan to buy a $127,242 house. You have $30,313 to use as the down payment. The bank offers to loan you the remainder at 18% nominal interest compounded monthly. The term of the loan is 20 years. What is your equal monthly loan payment
Answer: $1,495.92
Explanation:
The amount you plan to borrow from the bank is:
= Cost of house - down payment
= 127,242 - 30,313
= $96,929
The amount to be paid is constant and so is an annuity. The loan amount is the present value of this annuity.
Term = 20 * 12 = 240 months
Interest = 18% / 12 = 1.5% monthly
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + rate) ^-number of periods) / rate
96,929 = Annuity * (1 - (1 + 1.5%) ⁻²⁴⁰) / 1.5%
96,929 = Annuity * 64.79573209
Annuity = 96,929 / 64.79573209
= $1,495.92
This year Burchard Company sold 37,000 units of its only product for $16.40 per unit. Manufacturing and selling the product required $122,000 of fixed manufacturing costs and $182,000 of the fixed selling and administrative costs. It?s per unit variable costs follow.
Material $4.20
Direct labor (paid on the basis of completed units) 3.20
Variable overhead costs 0.42
Variable selling and administrative costs 0.22
Next year the company will use new material, which will reduce material costs by 50% and direct labor costs by 50% and will not affect product quality or marketability. Management is considering an increase in the unit selling price to reduce the number of units sold because the factory's output is nearing its annual output capacity of 42,000 units. Two plans are being considered. Under plan 1, the company will keep the selling price at the current level and sell the same volume as last year. This plan will increase income because of the reduced costs of using the new material. Under plan 2, the company will increase the selling price by 20%. This plan will decrease unit sales volume by 5%. Under both plans 1 and 2, the total fixed costs and the variable costs per unit for overhead and for selling and administrative costs will remain the same.

On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment
Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this is not required but to explain the concept)
Interest expense = $20,000

An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000,and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciationamount in the thirdyear and the BV at the end of the fifth year of life by each of these methods:
Answer:
straight line depreciation:
depreciation expense per year, the same for every year = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57
book value end of year 1 = $56,571.43
book value end of year 2 = $53,142.86
book value end of year 3 = $49,714.29
book value end of year 4 = $46,285.72
book value end of year 5 = $42,857.15
double declining balance:
deprecation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/14 x $60,000 = $8,571.43
book value end of year 1 = $51,428.57
deprecation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/14 x $51,428.57 = $7,346.94
book value end of year 2 = $44,081.63
deprecation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/14 x $44,081.63 = $6,297.38
book value end of year 3 = $37,784.25
deprecation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/14 x $37,784.25 = $5,397.75
book value end of year 4 = $32,386.50
deprecation expense year 5 = 2 x 1/14 x $32,386.50 = $4,626.64
book value end of year 5 = $27,759.86
sum of digits:
depreciable value = $60,000 - $12,000 = $48,000
total sum of digits = 120 years
deprecation expense year 1 = $48,000 x 15/120 = $6,000
book value end of year 1 = $54,000
deprecation expense year 2 = $48,000 x 14/120 = $5,600
book value end of year 2 = $48,400
deprecation expense year 3 = $48,000 x 13/120 = $5,200
book value end of year 3 = $43,200
deprecation expense year 4 = $48,000 x 12/120 = $4,800
book value end of year 4 = $38,400
deprecation expense year 5 = $48,000 x 11/120 = $4,400
book value end of year 5 = $34,000

QS 8-4 Units-of-production depreciation LO P1 On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$14,355
Explanation:
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(45/200) x ($65,800 - $2000) =
0.225 x 63800
$14355
The common stock of Flavorful Teas has an expected return of 19.65 percent. The return on the market is 14.5 percent and the risk-free rate of return is 4.2 percent. What is the beta of this stock?
Answer:
beta= 1.5
Explanation:
The common stock of flavorful tea has an expected return of 19.65%
The return on the market is 14.5%
The risk-free rate is 4.2%
Therefore, the beta of the stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
19.65%= 4.2%+beta(14.5%-4.2%)
19.65%= 4.2% + 14.5beta-4.2beta
19.65%= 4.2% + 10.3beta
19.65%-4.2%= 10.3beta
15.45%= 10.3beta
beta= 15.45/10.3
beta= 1.5
Hence the beta of this stock is 1.5
What is the value of a perpetuity that pays $100 every 3 months forever? The interest rate quoted on an APR basis is 6%.
Answer:
$6,666.67
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the value of a perpetuity is shown below:-
Value of Perpetuity = Quarterly Payment ÷ Quarterly Interest Rate
Now, we will put the values into the above formula to reach the value of a perpetuity
= $100 ÷ (6% ÷ 4)
= $100 ÷ 0.0150
= $6,666.67
Therefore for computing the value of perpetuity we simply applied the above formula.
Lilliput is a country that has closed borders and does not import or export any goods or services; hence, they do not worry about trade with other countries.
Total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $1.06 billion. The country collected $1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year. Assume government transfers were zero. Based on this information, what is Lilliput's budget balance? In the last fiscal year, Lilliput was running:______.
a. a budget surplus.
b. a balanced budget.
c. a budget deficit.
Answer: budget deficit
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $1.06 billion and that the country collected $1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year.
Since the expenditure of $1.06 billion is more than the revenue of $1.05 billion, this show that there was a budget deficit.
