"An 8% corporate bond with 20 years left to maturity is currently trading at 120. The bond is callable in 4 years at 104. If a client buys the bond and then the issuer calls it in 4 years, the yield to call will be:"
Answer:
The yield to call will be 6%.
Explanation:
Yield to call (YTC) refers to the return a bondholder will receive in the event that he holds the bond until the call date which is sometime before the maturity date.
The YTC can be calculated using the following formula:
YTC = (C + (CP - P) / t) / ((CP + P) / 2) .......................... (1)
Where:
YTC = YTW = yield to call or yield to worst = ?
C = Annual coupon interest payment = Bond interest rate * Bond face value = 8% * $100 = $8.00
CP = Callable price of the bond = $104
P = Current price of the bond = $120
t = time in years remaining until the call date = 20 - 4 = 16 years
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTC = ($8 + ($104 - $120) / 16) / (($104 + $120) / 2)
YTC = $7 / $112 = 0.06, or 6%.
Therefore, the yield to call will be 6%.
Dividends are expected to grow at 25% per year during the next three years, 15% over the following year and then 6% per year indefinitely. The required return on this stock is 9% and the stock currently sells for $79 per share. What is the projected dividend for the second year

B) $4.10.
C) $4.50.
D) $3.81.
Answer:
a) c. $4.34
b) b. $4.10
Explanation:
a) Find Farewell's diluted earnings per share for 2021.
Use the formula below:
Diluted EPS = (Net income after tax - preferred dividend) / diluted common stock
[tex]= \frac{2,500,000 - (50,000*100*0.06)}{500,000+(200,000 - ((29*10,000)/30))}[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2,500,000 - 300,000}{500,000 + (200,000 - 193,333)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{220,000}{506,667} [/tex]
[tex] = 4.34 [/tex]
Diluted EPS = $4.34 per share
b) stock options = 5,000
Value in current shares = 500,000/12 = $4,167
Diluted shares = 5000 - 4167 = 833
Use the formula below to find the diluted earnings per share:
Diluted EPS = Net income/share outstanding
[tex]= \frac{269,915}{50,000 +(20,000-5,000) + 833)}[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{269,915}{50,000 + 15,000 + 833} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{269,915}{65,833} [/tex]
[tex] = 4.10 [/tex]
Diluted EPS = $4.10 per share

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
the following items aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they are used items and were included in the year they were produced. adding them to GDP would be regarded as double counting
a. a used skateboard you buy for your brother
d. used copy of the tony hawk video game
e. previously owned collectors skateboard
h. Wheels used to produce a skateboard that will be sold new aren't included in the calculation of GDP because it an intermediate product used in the production of skateboards.
ticket for the X games bought from a person on a street corner aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they have already been paid for.
Determine the market price that Firm A receives for its product. Assume the price is constant because the firm is a price taker in a perfectly competitive market.
Answer: $28
Explanation:
In a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms are price takers in that the price is set by the market. As a result, the Price is equal to the Average Revenue as well as the Marginal Revenue. P = AR = MR
In the table, the Marginal Revenue (increase in revenue when an additional unit is sold) is $28 for all quantities and the Average Revenue at the fifth (and all units) is;
= 140/5
= $28
With both the Average and Marginal Revenues being $28, the price that Firm A receives is $28 as well.

Consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases. This macro-environmental force strongly impacts this industry.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The macro-enviromental forces that impact an industry are: demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural, and technological.
In this case, we can see the socio-cultural macro-enviromental force at play, and perhaps also the demographic macro-enviromental force.
If consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases, it is most likely because they have change their culture or social status. Such a change in consumer behaviour can have great impact on an industry: it can boost some goods, while make other decline or disappear.
Such a change can also respond to demographic shift: for example, as consumers age, they tend to become more selective, so a good that used to be favored by a young population, might not be so anymore when that young population grows older.
Splish Brothers Inc. issues $4.8 million, 5-year, 7% bonds at 102, with interest payable on January 1. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond premium.

Here we debited the interest expenses and premium on bonds as it increased the expenses and we credited the interest payable as it also increased the liabilities
Communication skills refer to a manager’s ability to effectively convey ideas and information to others and to effectively receive ideas and information from others. This exercise focuses on communication skills as they involve deciding how to best convey information to others.Exercise BackgroundAssume that you are a middle manager for a large electronics firm. People in your organization generally use one of three methods to communicate with one another. One common method is verbal communication, either face-to-face or by telephone. Surprisingly, people also still use a lot of written communication in the form of memos, reports, letters, and other documentation. And, of course, there is also a lot of digital communication such as email and direct messaging.During a typical day you receive and send a variety of messages and other communication, sometimes using only a single method of communication but often using some combination of methods. The questions that follow ask you to select one or more methods that would be most effective for communicating specific kinds of information.Use your communication skills to answer the following questions.1. You need to reprimand a staff assistant who has been coming in to work late for the last several days. Which of these options would most likely be both efficient and effective? Check all that apply.Send an emailRegardless of what you do first, follow-up with a written reprimand to the individual’s personnel fileUse social mediaReprimand the individual in public so as to deter others from being lateSchedule a meeting to discuss the problem2. You need to schedule a meeting with your boss. Which of these options would most likely be both efficient and effective? Check all that apply.Call the boss’s assistant and request a meetingEmail the boss’s assistant and request a meetingWrite a formal letter to your boss asking for a meeting3.

Which of these options would most likely be both efficient and effective? Check all that apply.A telephone call to the supplier to explain the situationAn email to the supplier to explain the situationA letter to the supplier to explain the situationA personal meeting with the supplier to explain the situation
Answer:
Communication Skills:
1. Reprimanding a staff assistant for late-coming:
Schedule a meeting to discuss the problem
2. Scheduling a meeting with your boss:
Call the boss's assistant and request a meeting.
3. Informing a supplier that your company will soon be cutting back on its purchases because you plan to shift more of your business to suppliers offering lower prices:
A telephone call to the supplier to explain the situation
An email to the supplier to explain the situation

Communication is a two-way traffic. The central purpose is to enhance understanding. In reprimanding a staff assistant, I shall first understand the problem he or she is facing. Full understanding of a problem generates workable solutions. Responding to problems without some created solution mechanisms will not ensure lasting relationships. The main purpose in any communication situation is to achieve understanding of the challenges being faced by the other party, whether with my assistant, my boss's assistant, or my company's supplier.
g Last year, Adventure Enterprises reported revenues of $24 million while its total expenses were $10 million. Based on this information, Adventure reported:
Answer:
The answer is ' a profit of $14 million
Explanation:
Revenue = $24 million
Total expenses = $10 million
Profit(loss) = Revenue minus total expenses
$24 million - $10 million
Profit = $14 million.
It is a profit because revenue is greater than total expenses. Adventure Enterprises will report a loss if reported total expenses was greater than reported revenue

"Hindi Co. started 3,000 units during the period. Its beginning inventory is 500 units one-fourth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Its ending inventory is 300 units one-fifth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. How many units were transferred out this period
Answer: 3,200 units
Explanation:
The Units transferred out during the year will be those that were inherited from the previous period as well as those started during the year less the closing inventory still in progress.
The formula to calculate the units is therefore;
= Opening inventory + Started during the year - Closing Inventory
= 500 + 3,000 - 300
= 3,200 units

Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the ________, causing _______.
Answer:
Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the _population of immigrants_______, causing __increased economic performance resulting from increased supply of highly skilled labor, productivity, and GDP and not to forget increased diversity with its attendant benefits and costs_____.
Explanation:
Immigration is the movement of non-natives or citizens into a country from other countries. If the number of immigrants outnumber those emigrating, the population of the country will increase relatively. To boast population, increase diversity, and energize an economy, some countries deliberately embark on programed immigration and acceptance of highly skilled workers. As they come in, they come with their families, some will bear more children, and there will be increased relationships between the immigrants and the domiciled citizen population. The economy of the country will be revitalized since they are highly skilled workers, and there will be increased productivity and beneficial changes in the GDP. Human diversity has many attendant benefits and burdens. Whichever one that outweighs the other depends on factors prevalent in the particular country.

Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,000. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 10 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. Rollins is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for $27.00 per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's policy is to use a risk premium of 4 percentage points when using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method to find rs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Rollins' cost of preferred stock? Select one: a. 10.0% b. 11.0% c. 12.0% d. 12.6% e. 13.2%
Answer:
d. 12.6%
Explanation:
Rollins Corporation will receive $100 - ($100 x 5% flotation costs) = $100 - $5 = $95 net for each preferred stock issued
Since it will have to pay $12 on preferred dividends, the cost of preferred stocks = preferred dividend per preferred stock / net amount received per preferred stock = $12 / $95 = 0.1263 = 12.6%
Flotation costs are costs that a corporation incurs when issuing new stocks or bonds, and they include legal fees, underwriting fees, etc.

b) In an income statement vertical analysis, each line item is calculated as a percentage of the sales, which is itself 100%. This enables the proportional analysis of all the items to be computed about their financial performance in relation to the sales for the period. It can help management to dictate unusual items, errors, and other outliers.
c) The balance sheet trend analysis shows whether the entity's financial position is improving or not in relation to the base period. Each item is compared horizontally across periods. The calculation of trend uses the amount in the non-base year and divides it by the amount of the base year x 100.

At the beginning of the current year, Penguin Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer) has accumulated E & P of $55,000. During the year, Penguin incurs a $36,000 loss from operations that accrues ratably. On October 1, Penguin distributes $40,000 in cash to Holly, its sole shareholder.
How is Holly taxed on the distribution?
Of the $40,000 distribution, ...........................$ is taxed as a dividend and $ ....................represents a return of capital.
Answer:Of the $40,000 distribution, ....$28,000....................... is taxed as a dividend and $12,000...................represents a return of capital.
Explanation:
we will first compute dividend income for Holly
Loss from operations in the year =$36,000
Loss accrued till October 1st, since it accrues ratably
January - September= 9 months
36,000 x 9/12 = $27,000
But E&P at start of the year = $55,000
Therefore, E&P at October 1st = $55,000- $27,000 = $28,000
The remaining balance. $28,000 after the losses accrued have been deducted will be treated as dividend income
From the statement, the total cash distributed to Holly is $40,000,
$28,000 as calculated from above Is taxed as a dividend and $12,000 ( $40,000- $28,000) represents a return of capital.
Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 80 percent of fixed asset capacity. Fixed assets are $462,000. Current sales are $550,000 and projected to grow to $790,625. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales
Answer:
New Fixed assets required = $69300
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of new fixed assets required to support project sales, we first need to determine the amount of fixed assets required to support $1 of sale.
The sales value at full capacity is,
Full capacity sales = 550000 / 0.8
Full capacity sales = $687500
To calculate the $ amount of fixed asset required to support $1 in sales, we need to calculate the ratio of fixed assets to sales. The ratio is,
Fixed assets to sales = 462000 / 687500
Fixed assets to sales = 0.672
Thus, to support a sales level of $790625, the total amount of fixed assets needed will be,
Total fixed assets needed = 790625 * 0.672 = $531300
New Fixed assets required = 531300 - 462000 = $69300
