Answer: c. Enter into a short hedge where the bank agrees to sell interest rate futures.
Explanation:
Futures are a derivative instrument that aims to give stability. It works by the seller of the future agreeing to sell the underlying asset or what it is being traded for a set price in future and at a certain time.
This way even if market conditions cause the price of the asset to change in the market, the parties to this contract will still trade at the price agreed.
If the bank sells interest rate futures, they can lock in a set interest rate for the future that will not change regardless of what happens in the market thereby keeping their Net Income stable.
"Customer Z is a single 26-year-old man who earns $125,000 annually. He informs you that he is getting married and that his new wife's income of $75,000 per year will put them into the highest federal tax bracket. The couple will have investable income of $25,000 per year. The couple wishes to buy a house in 5 years that will be substantially more expensive than the condominium in which they currently reside. To meet the customer's needs for the large cash down payment in 5 years and to reduce taxable income, the BEST recommendation is to:"
Answer:
In order to reduce taxable income and at the same time meet the customer's need for a large cash down payment, you should advice him to invest in stocks. The stock market generally yields high returns and since the customer is young, he can afford the risk. Also, and probably most important, capital stock gains are taxed at a much lower rate than interest income (vs investing in bonds).

If Mr. Schrute prepares a contribution margin income statement for the month of June, what would be his operating income?
Complete question :
Schrute Farm Sales buys portable generators for $470 and sells them for $740. He pays a sales commission of 5% of sales revenue to his sales staff. Mr. Schrute pays $5,000 a month rent for his store, and also pays $2,200 a month to his staff in addition to the commissions. Mr. Schrute sold 600 generators in June. If Mr. Schrute prepares a contribution margin income statement for the month of June, what would be his contribution margin? O A $444,000 O B. $139,800 O C. $748.200 D. $304 200
Answer:
139,800
Explanation:
Total Revenue = (quantity sold * price) = (600 * $740) = $444,000
Purchase cost = (purchase price * quantity) = (470 * 600) = $282,000
Variable selling cost = 5% of total revenue = (0.05 * 444,000) = $22,200
Total variable cost = (cost of purchase + variable selling price) = $(282,000 + 22,200) = $304,200
Contribution margin = (revenue - variable cost) = (444,000 - 304,000) = $139,800
Therefore, CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $139,800

The Bradford Company issued 12% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $81 million on January 1, 2018. The bonds mature on December 31, 2027 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market yield is 14%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2018. 2. to 4. Prepare the journal entry to record their issuance by The Bradford Company on January 1, 2018, interest on June 30, 2018 and interest on December 31, 2018 (at the effective rate).
Answer:
$81 million in bonds issued January 1, 2018
coupon rate 12%, semiannual 6% interest
maturity = 10 years x 2 = 20 periods
market interest rate = 14% / 2 = 7% semiannual
1) market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $81,000,000 / (1 + 7%)²⁰ = $20,931,939.23
PV of coupon payments = $4,860,000 x 10.59401 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 20 periods) = $51,486,888.60
market price = $72,418,827.83 ≈ $72,418,828
2) January 1, 2018, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 72,418,828
Dr Discount on bonds payable 8,581,172
Cr Bonds payable 81,000,000
3) June 30, 2018, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 4,999,318
Cr Cash 4,860,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 139,318
amortization of bond discount = ($72,418,828 x 7%) - $4,860,000 = $4,999,318 - $4,860,000 = $139,318
4) December 31, 2018, second coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 5,079,070
Cr Cash 4,860,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 219,070
amortization of bond discount = ($72,558,146 x 7%) - $4,860,000 = $5,079,070 - $4,860,000 = $219,070
You have just purchased a new warehouse. To finance the purchase, you've arranged for a 30-year mortgage loan for 80 percent of the $2,800,000 purchase price. The monthly payment on this loan will be $17,000. a. What is the APR on this loan
Answer:
the APR on this loan is 8.68 %.
Explanation:
First determine the nominal rate compounded monthly on this mortgage as follows :
n = 30 × 12 = 360
Pv = $2,800,000 × 80% = $2,240,000
pmt = - $17,000
p/yr = 12
FV = $0
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal rate compounded monthly, r on this mortgage is 8.3588 or 8.36 %.
Then, find the Annual Percentage Rate :
8.36 Shift NOM %
12 Shift P/YR
Shift EFF% 8.68 %
Again using a Financial calculator as above, the APR on this loan will be 8.6879 or 8.68 %

Corn Doggy, Inc. produces and sells corn dogs. The corn dogs are dipped by hand. Austin Beagle, production manager, is considering purchasing a machine that will make the corn dogs. Austin has shopped for machines and found that the machine he wants will cost $215,000. In addition, Austin estimates that the new machine will increase the company's annual net cash inflows by $33,000. The machine will have a 12-year useful life and no salvage value.
A. Calculate the cash payback period.
B. Calculate the machine's internal rate of return.
C. Calculate the machine's net present value using a discount rate of 10%.
D. Assuming Corn Doggy, Inc.'s cost of capital is 10%, is the investment acceptable?
Answer:
1. 6.52 years
IRR = 10.93%
NPV = $9,851.30
4. yes
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
$215,000 / $33,000 = 6.52 years
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-215,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $33,000
I = 10%
NPV = $9,851.30
IRR = 10.93%
The project is acceptable because the IRR is greater than the cost of capital
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

The managerial accountant at Aquatics Pools and Spas assess a fixed overhead budget variance of U in the month of April. The standard hours in April were hours and the standard rate was projected at per machinehour. There were unforeseen complications that involved raw materials and the standard rate projected per machinehour was inaccurate. What was the standard rate per machinehour if the standard fixed overhead cost of production is ? What is the budgeted fixed overhead amount if the actual fixed overhead is ?
Answer: a. $14.17 /machine hour; $39,700
Explanation:
a. What was the standard rate per-machine hour if the standard fixed overhead cost of production is $41,100?
Standard Fixed Overhead Cost of Production = Standard Hours * Standard Rate
41,100 = 2,900 hours in April * Standard Rate
Standard Rate = 41,100/2,900
Standard Rate = 14.17 per machine hour
b. What is the budgeted fixed overhead amount if the actual fixed overhead is $43,100?
Budgeted Fixed Overhead= Actual Fixed overhead - Fixed overhead unfavourable variance
= 43,100 - $3,400 U in the month of April
= $39,700

When aggregate demand is high enough to drive unemployment below the natural rate:_________
a. there is downward pressure on the price level, and the government may want to conduct contractionary fiscal policy.
b. the economy is slipping into a recession, and the government may want to conduct expansionary fiscal policy.
c. there is upward pressure on the price level, and the government may want to conduct contractionary fiscal policy.
d. there is upward pressure on the price level, and the government may want to conduct expansionary fiscal policy.
e. there is downward pressure on the price level, and the government may want to conduct expansionary fiscal policy.
Answer:
e. there is downward pressure on the price level, and the government may want to conduct expansionary fiscal policy.
Explanation:
At the time of boom in the economy, the unemployment rate is beneath than the rate i.e. natural also it gives rise to the growth of the economy, along with it the expenditures, consumer spending also increased that ultimately increased the disposable income.
This results in the upward movement in terms of pressure on the aggregate demand that leads to a rise in the level of price and the real GDP also rises which reduced the unemployment
But when the aggregate demand is less so there is a downward pressure on the price as the level of price declines so that the aggregate demand increased and it is requirement made by the government for an expansionary fiscal policy that give increased in government spending or taxes decreased in order to raise the aggregate demand
"Your customer, age 68, who has an IRA account at your firm valued at $500,000, passes away. The customer leaves the account to his wife, age 62, who does not work. She needs current income and wishes to receive payments over the longest time frame possible. You should advise the spouse to:"
Answer:
My best advice for the spouse would be to designate herself as the new account owner, and since she is 62, she can start taking regular distributions from it. Any distributions that she takes will be taxed as ordinary income (the same rule would have applied to the late husband).
Explanation:
If she had her own IRA account (which is doubtful since she doesn't work), she could also roll over her late spouse's balance into her own account.
The wife's third option would be to treat herself as a beneficiary, not the owner or spouse, but that would only complicate things and result in higher costs.

Answer:
P0 = $49.0825 rounded off to $49.08
Explanation:
The value of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant percentage is calculated using the constant growth model of DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price of the stock today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)

D1 is the dividend expected for the next periodr is the required rate of return or discount rateg is the growth rate in dividendsTo calculate the price today or P0, we use D1. Thus, as the constant growth rate will apply from Year 2, we will first calculate the price of the stock at Year 1 or P1 using the D2. Then we will discount this P1 back to P0 by dividing it by (1+r).
P1 = 1 * (1+0.07) / (0.09 - 0.07)
P1 = $53.5
Price of the stock today is,
P0 = P1 / (1+r)
P0 = 53.5 / (1+0.09)
P0 = $49.0825 rounded off to $49.08
The value of the stock should be $50.
The calculation is as follows;The value of the stock is
= Expected dividend ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $1 ÷ (9% - 7%)
= $50

On November 1, Barnes Corporation has 9,200 units of Product A on hand. During the month, the company plans to sell 44,200 units of Product A, and plans to have 10,950 units on hand at end of the month. How many units of Product A must be produced during the month
Answer:
45,950 units
Explanation:
To get the number of units of product A to be produced during the month, we'll make use of the formula below
Units produced = Ending inventory + Units - Beginning inventory
= 10,950 + 44,200 - 9,200
= 45,950
Therefore, the units of product A that must be produced during the month is 45,950 units
JoPacks sold 500 backpacks in September. Total variable costs were $7,500, total fixed costs were $10,000, and profit was $4,000. If JP sold 1,000 backpacks, what would their profit be
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Total revenue - total cost = profit
total cost = variable cost + fixed cost
when 500 units were sold
total revenue - ( $10,000 + $7,500) = $4,000.
revenue = $21,500
to determine profit when 1000 units are sold, we have to determine the price and average variable cost
Price = revenue / total unit sold = $21,500 / 500 = $43
Average variable cost = $7,500 / 500 = $15
For 1000 units sold
revenue = price x units sold = 1000 x $43 = $43,000
total variable cost = $15 x 1000 = $15,000
total cost = $15,000 + $10,000 = $25,000
Profit = $43,000 - $25,000 = $18,000
Clara is setting up a retirement fund, and she plans on depositing $4,900 per year in an investment that will pay 8% annual interest. How long will it take her to reach her retirement goal of $61,189
Answer:
9 years
Explanation:
assuming that Clara will make her deposits at year end (ordinary annuity), we can use the future value of an annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x annuity factor
FV = $61,189annual payment = $4,900annuity factor = ?annuity factor = $61,189 / $4,900 = 12.48755
using a future value annuity table and looking at the 8% interest column, the factor for 9 periods is 12.488.
Calculate the elasticity of a call option with a premium of $6.50 and a strike price of $61. The call has a hedge ratio of 0.7, and the underlying stock’s price is currently $47.
Answer:
The Elasticity of the call option = [tex]\mathbf{ 5.06 \%}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the given information:
For $1 change in stock price
the percentage of change in stock price = ΔS/S
ΔS/S = (1× 100)/47 = 2.127659574
ΔC = hedge ratio × ΔS
ΔC = 0.7 × 1
ΔC = 0.7
However , the percentage change in the stock call option price = ΔC/C
= (0.7 × 100) / 6.50
= 70/6.50
= 10.76923077
∴
The Elasticity of the call option = [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{percentage \ change \ in \ the \stock \ call \ option \ price }{percentage \ change \ in \ the \ stock \ price}}[/tex]
The Elasticity of the call option = [tex]\mathbf{ \dfrac{10.76923077 }{2.127659574}}[/tex]
The Elasticity of the call option = [tex]\mathbf{ 5.06 \%}[/tex]
OR
The Price Elasticity of the call option can be computed by using EXCEL FUNCTION(=B3*(B4/B1))
The illustration to that can be seen in the diagram attached below.
The Elasticity of the call option [tex]\simeq[/tex] 5.06% by using EXCEL FUNCTION.

The outstanding bonds of Riverside Tires Inc. provide a real rate of return of 5.6 percent. If the current rate of inflation is 4.68 percent, what is the actual nominal rate of return on these bonds
Answer: 10.54%
Explanation:
The Real rate of return is calculated as;
(1 + Real Rate) = (1 + Nominal Rate) / (1 + Inflation Rate)
1 + 0.056 = ( 1 + n) / ( 1 + 0.0468)
1.056 = (1 + n) / 1.0468
1.1054208 = 1 + n
n = 0.1054208
n = 10.54%
The "death benefit" associated with a variable annuity contract means that if the contract holder dies:__________.
A. prior to annuitization, the amount invested in the contract is returned to a beneficiary
B. after annuitization, the amount invested in the contract is returned to a beneficiary
C. prior to annuitization, the insurance company will make a lump sum payment to complete the terms of the contract
D. after annuitization, the insurance company will pay for the insured's burial expenses
Answer:
B. after annuitization, the amount invested in the contract is returned to a beneficiary
Explanation:
Annuitization: In business, the term "annuitization" is described as a phenomenon which is responsible for converting an "annuity investment" into a stream or flow of regular payments. However, with an "annuity" any financial product that is responsible for making out regular payouts after a given time of an individual, his or her investment can pay off quickly.
Grey Wolf, Inc., has current assets of $2,090, net fixed assets of $9,830, current liabilities of $1,710, and long-term debt of $4,520. a. What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b. How much is net working capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Before computing the stockholder equity first we have to determine the total assets and the total liabilities which is shown below:
As we know that
Total Assets = Current Assets + Net Fixed Assets
= $2,090 + $9,830
= $11,920
Now
Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long-term Debt
= $1,710 + $4,520
= $6,230
So,
Stockholders’ Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
= $11,920 - $6,230
= $5,690
2. The net working capital is
Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
= $2,090 - $1,710
= $380
Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $90 per share and the required return on the stock is 9 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, the current dividend is $_______ per share.
Answer:
$3.72
Explanation:
in order to determine the price of the stock we use the dividend discount model:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
P₀ = $90Div₁ = ?Re = 9%g = 9% / 2 = 4.5%Div₁ = P₀ x (Re - g)
Div₁ = $90 x (9% - 4.5%) = $90 x 4.5% = $4.05
now the current dividend (Div₀) = Div₁ / (1 + Re) = $4.05 / (1 + 9%) = $4.05 / 1.09 = $3.7156 = $3.72
