Investment X offers to pay you $4,020 per year for 12 years, whereas Investment Y offers to pay you $2,041 per year for 7 years. How much higher is the present value investment X if the discount rate is 11 percent? Round to nearest whole number.
Answer:
$16,481.68
Explanation:
Note that the present value of each yearly cash inflow can be determined using the formula provided below:
PV of cash inflow=cash inflow/(1+discount rate)^n
n is the year in which the cash inflow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash inflow, 2 for year 2 and so on.
PV of Investment X=$4,020/(1+11%)^1+$4,020/(1+11%)^2+$4,020/(1+11%)^3+$4,020/(1+11%)^4+$4,020/(1+11%)^5+$4,020/(1+11%)^6+$4,020/(1+11%)^7+$4,020/(1+11%)^8+$4,020/(1+11%)^9+$4,020/(1+11%)^10+$4,020/(1+11%)^11+$4,020/(1+11%)^12
PV of investment X=$26,099.27
PV of investment Y=$2,041/(1+11%)^1+$2,041/(1+11%)^2+$2,041/(1+11%)^3+$2,041/(1+11%)^4+$2,041/(1+11%)^5+$2,041/(1+11%)^6+$2,041/(1+11%)^7
PV of investment Y=$9,617.59

Swiss Furniture Company manufactures bookshelves and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate all manufacturing conversion costs. The following information is provided for the month of May:
Activity Estimated Indirect Activity Costs Allocation Base Estimated Quantity of Allocation Base
Materials handling $6,300 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Assembling $14,000 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Packaging $2,680 Number of bookshelves 910 bookshelves
Required:
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.What is the total manufacturing cost per bookshelf?
Answer:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 6,300/9,100= $0.69 per part
Assembling= 14,000/9,100= $1.54 per part
Packaging= 2,680/910= $2.95 per bookshelve
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.
Now, we can allocate conversion costs to each unit:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 0.69*10= $6.9
Assembling= 1.54*10= $15.4
Packaging= 2.95*1 = $2.95
Total allocated costs per unit= $25.25
Finally, the total unitary manufacturing cost:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= 32 + 25.25
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25

The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 10%, with interest paid annually, and matures in 3 years. If the bond is priced to yield 12%, what is the bond's value today
Answer:
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment, annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100
Total periods remaining (n) = 3
r or YTM = 12%
Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12] + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
stock a has an expected return of 20 and stock b has an expected return of 5. what is the expected return on a portfolio this comprised of 67^ of stock a and 33% stoc k b
Answer:
15.05%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected return on a portfolio
Using this formula
Expected return = (Return on stock A * Percentage invested in stock A) + ( Return on Stock B * Percentage invested in Stock B)
Let plug in the formula
Expected return= (20% * 67%) + (5% * 33%)
Expected return= 13.4% + 1.65%
Expected return= 15.05%
Therefore the expected return on a portfolio is 15.05%
We have a $500,000 line of credit with a 10% compensating balance. The quoted interest rate is 4.5%. We need $200,000 for inventory for one year. What is the effective interest rate we are paying on this credit line
Answer:
5.0%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the effective interest rate we are paying on this credit line
First step is to calculate cost of inventory we need
Inventory=$200,000/(1 - 0.10)
Inventory=$222,222
Second step is to calculate Interest paid
Interest paid = $222,222(.045)
Interest paid= $9,999.99
Interest paid=$10,000 (Approximately)
Now let calculate the Effective rate
Effective rate =$10,000/$200,000
Effective rate= 0.05*100
Effective rate=5.0%
Therefore the effective interest rate we are paying on this credit line is 5.0%

A sum of $5,000 is invested for five years with varying annual interest rates of 9%, 8%, 12%, 6%, and 15%, respectively (for example, in the first year 9% interest is accrued and 8% in the second year and so on). The future amount after 5 years is equal to ____________.
Answer:
The future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the future value (FV) formula as follows:
FV after 1 year = Invested amount * (100% + Year 1 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,000 * (100% + 9%)^1 = $5,450.00
FV after 2 years = FV after 1 year * (100% + Year 2 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,450 * (100% + 8%)^1 = $5,886.00
FV after 3 years = FV after 2 years * (100% + Year 3 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,886 * (100% + 12%)^1 = $6,592.32
FV after 4 years = FV after 3 years * (100% + Year 4 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,592.32 * (100% + 6%)^1 = $6,987.86
FV after 5 years = FV after 4 years * (100% + Year 5 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,987.86 * (100% + 15%)^1 = $8,036.04
Therefore, the future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Note: The number of year used in each of the calculation above is 1 because the interest was changing after one year.

A UPC is an acronym for universal product code. UPC is typically used for the identification of a specific product and its manufacturer (vendor) through a unique code that is printed on the product.
Basically, a universal product code (UPC) comprises of two (2) main parts;
A machine-readable barcode that contains sets of vertical black lines.
A unique twelve (12) digit number placed beneath or adjacent to the machine-readable barcode.
The first six-digits of the UPC represents the manufacturer and is printed on all of its products while the next five-digits is the product's unique reference number (item number) and the last digit is typically known as a check digit, used for the verification of the authenticity of a UPC.
Generally, the universal product code are usually scanned with a barcode scanner and this makes it easier to identify a product, as well as its price.
In this scenario, CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products, which can be evaluated and combined to monitor its products that are in demand by customers. Also, this method is used to track pricing data to make sure that its pricing remains competitive among rivals. Thus, thiis is an example of InfoScan used for systemically scanning price information on products.
