A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in 12-month and has a delivery price of $49.25. The current forward price for the 12-month forward contract is $46.00. The 12-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 6.65%. What is the value of the short forward contract? Answer with two decimal digits accuracy and the correct sign. Example: -11.92

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.04

Explanation:

F = (K - F0)*e^(-r*T) Where f = current value of forward contract, F0 = forward price agreed upon today, K = delivery price for a contract negotiated, r = risk-free interest rate applicable to the life of forward contract, T = delivery date

F = ($49.25-$46.00)*e^(-0.0665*12/12)

F = $3.25*e^(-0.0665)

F = $3.25*0.935662916

F = $3.040904477

F = $3.04

So, the value of the short forward contract is $3.04.

cash 20000 fixed assets 35000 accumulated depreciation 20000 accounts payable 5000
what are the total assets?

Answers

Answer:

Total asset = 55000

Explanation:

Below is the following calculations:

Cash amount = 20000

Fixed assets = 35000

Accumulated depreciation = 20000

Accounts payable = 5000

The total assets = Cash + fixed assets

Total asset = 20000 + 35000

Total asset = 55000

3. JoAnn's Catering buys plasticware worth $200 from Kostko.

Required:
Compute contributions to GDP, using the expenditure approach.

Answers

Answer:

Only the amount spent by Manuel would be in included in the calculation of GDP

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 exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :  

spending on durables - e.g. laptop  

spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food

spending on services  - e.g. payment of hospital bill  

the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods

Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services

the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers  

Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment.  The purchase of a new  limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure

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

a. no effect increase
b. no effect no effect
c. increase no effect
d. increase increase
a) Option A
b) Option B
c) Option C
d) Option D

Answers

Answer: a) Option A

Explanation:

There will be no effect on retained earnings because retained earnings do not increase as a result of shares being sold. It increases when net income increases.

Total paid-in capital increases when stock is sold for higher than its par value or when treasury stock is sold for higher than its acquisition price. The treasury stock here was sold for higher than it was bought so this would increase the total paid in capital.

Murphy's, Inc., has 45,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share. The market value is $10 per share. The balance sheet shows $70,500 in the capital in excess of par account, $45,000 in the common stock account, and $133,500 in the retained earnings account. The firm just announced a stock dividend of 12 percent. What will the balance in the capital in excess of par account be after the dividend?

Answers

Answer: $119100

Explanation:

The balance in the capital in excess of par account be after the dividend will be calculated thus:

Firstly, we'll calculate the change in capital in excess of par and this will be:

= Number of shares × dividend rate × (market value - par value)

= 45,000 × 12% × ($10 - $1)

= (45000 × 0.12) × $9

= 5400 × $9

= $48,600

Then, the balance in the capital in excess of par after the dividend will be:

= $70,500 + $48,600

= $119,100

At the end of each quarter, Patti deposits $1,100 into an account that pays 12% interest compounded quarterly. How much will Patti have in the account in 4 years

Answers

Answer:

Future value = $22172.56

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

Deposit made at the end of each quarter = $1100

Interest rate = 12% or 12% / 4 = 3%

Number of year = 4years

Number of compounding period = 4 x 4 = 16

Future value = Annuity x [ (1 + r)^n - 1] / r

Future value = $1100 x  [ (1 + 3%)^16 - 1] / 3%

Future value = $22172.56

Baxter Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 5.6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,094.30,page 160 make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par

Answers

Answer:

The coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.

Explanation:

The coupon rate can be determined by calculating the yield to maturity (YTM) using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * Number of semiannuals in a year = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = face value * (annual coupon rate / number of semiannuals in a year) = 1000 * (5.6% / 2) = 28

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,094.30 = 1094.30

fv = face value of the bond = 1000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2

Inputting =RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have

YTM = 4.86%

Therefore, the coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.

Differential cost is ______. Multiple select question. also known as incremental cost the same as opportunity cost the difference in cost between two alternatives never relevant to a product decision

Answers

Answer:

I. also known as incremental cost

II. the difference in cost between two alternatives

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Differential cost is also known as incremental cost and it is the difference in cost between two alternatives.

In Financial accounting, fixed cost can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities etc.

On the other hand, variable costs can be defined as expenses that are not constant and as such usually change directly and are proportional to various changes in business activities. Some examples of variable costs are taxes, direct labor, sales commissions, raw materials, operational expenses etc.

The differential cost is called the incremental cost, and it is the difference in the cost that lies between two alternatives.

The following information should be relevant:

It is the difference between the cost of 2 alternative decisions or the output level is varied.It is also known as the incremental cost.

Therefore we can conclude that the differential cost is called the incremental cost, and it is the difference in the cost that lies between two alternatives.

What is the maximum price that Tango should pay for Delta

Answers

Complete question: Tax rate is 35%

Answer:

3250000

Explanation:

Tax income = 300000

Tax rate = 35%

Growth = 2%

Risk free rate = 4%

Expected market return= 9%

Beta = 0.8

We solve for the expected return on assets

= 4% + (9%-4%)x0.8

= 0.04+0.05*0.8

= 0.04 + 0.04

= 0.08

= 8% return on assets

The maximum price to pay

300000*(1-0.35)/(8%-2%)

= 300000 * 0.65/0.06

= 300000x10.8333333333

APR = 38.829%

APY = 45.70%

Explanation:

Missing word "Calculate the APR and the APY."

Discount % = 6%

Total period = 70

Discount period = 10

i. APR = (Discount% / [100% - Discount%]) * (365 / [Total period - Discount period])

APR = [6% / 100%-6%] * [365 / 70 - 10]

APR = 6%/94% * 365/60

APR = 0.06382979 * 6.083333

APR = 0.38829787

APR = 38.83%

ii. APY = (1 + [Discount% / {100% - Discount%}])^(365/[Total period - Discount period]) - 1

APY = [1 + [6%/ / 100%-6%]^(365/70-10) - 1

APY = {1 + 0.06382979]^6.083333 - 1

APY = 1.06382979^6.083333 - 1

APY = 1.45704250704 - 1

APY = 0.45704250704

APY = 45.70%

Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed because it would mean punishing business on the basis of what the FTC thinks might happen rather than on what actually does happen.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market

The CEO of Kwikee Shoppe, a chain of convenience stores, believes that some of his managers aren’t making decisions as effectively as they could. He has hired you as a consultant to analyze the types of bias that could be causing poor decisions. If you can identify the biases that may cloud their judgment, then they can be made aware of these tendencies so they can improve their performance. You gather data about Kwikee Shoppe managers’ most recent decisions.
Stella is in charge of the western region, and she has a strong track record of opening new stores that perform well and closing stores that could not contribute satisfactorily to the bottom line. Lately, however, many of her new stores have had below average performance, and she has closed some stores that probably could have been turned around by putting a different store manager in charge, advertising more, or offering more specials on popular products. Nonetheless, Stella knows that she is great at her job. Which of the following would not be a way for Stella overcome this bias?
A. Consult with other regional managers for their opinion before closing stores.
B. Before closing a store, replace the manager with one from a successful store and revisit the decision in 90 days.
C. Create a checklist of items to ask before closing stores, providing weights to each item based on their importance.
D. Focus on the stores that she closed that would not have improved with a different manager in place, additional advertising, or sales.

The way that Stella would overcome this bias is:

D. Focus on the stores that she closed that would not have improved with a different manager in place, additional advertising, or sales.

Explanation:

The other listed actions would enable Stella to overcome her personal bias, which may be clouding her sense of judgment.  The focus on the stores that she had closed would only puff her ego instead of reducing bias.  To focus on the past when Stella is proud of her achievements cannot allow her to objectively review the situation in order to improve on her decisions and performance.

Suppose that a share of common stock is expected to pay a $3 dividend one year from now, and thereafter each annual dividend payment will increase by 4% over the prior payment. The effective annual interest rate is 12%. Find the modified duration of this share of stock.

Answers

Answer:

13

Explanation:

Modified duration of stock = (1 + Growth rate) / (Effective rate - Growth rate)

Modified duration of stock = (1 + 4%) / (12% - 4%)

Modified duration of stock = (1 + 0.04) / 0.08

Modified duration of stock = 1.04 / 0.08

Modified duration of stock = 13

So, the modified duration of this share of the stock is 13.

Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey1, completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.1 "BBC 'proves' Nessie does not exist." 27 July, 2003. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3096839.stmBased on the essay, what makes people think they have seen something in the loch? The many sonar studies have identified strange objects in the water. The myth of the creature makes people imagine they have seen one. The sightings have occurred over a very long period of time. The simple explanations suggest reasons why a creature may have survived. A particle charge of 2.7 C is at the center of a Gaussian cube 55 cm on edge.
