Answer:
$0.710 million
Explanation:
The net present value of the project is the present value of future cash inflows discounted at the appropriate project discount rate minus the initial investment outlay.
The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is computed using the formula below:
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
debt-equity ratio=debt/equity= 0.6(which means debt is 0.6 while equity is 1 since 0.6/1=0.6)
weight of equity=equity/(equity+debt)
weight of equity=1/(1+0.6)=62.50%
weight of debt=debt/(equity+debt)
weight of debt=0.6/(1+0.6)=37.50%
cost of equity=9.4%
after-tax cost of debt=pre-tax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
pre-tax cost of debt=6.7%
tax rate=35%
after-tax cost of debt=6.7%*(1-35%)=4.36%
WACC=(62.50%*9.4%)+(37.50%*4.36%)
WACC=7.51%
The WACC would be adjusted upward by 2% to reflect the higher level of risk of the new project
project's discount rate=7.51%+2%=9.51%
present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+discount rate)^n
n is the year in which the future cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow ,2 for year 2 cash flow, and so on.
NPV=$0.710 million($710,000)
Brandy’s Restaurant estimates that its total cost of providing Q meals per month is given by TC = 6,000 + 2 Q. If Brandy charges $4 per meal, what is its break-even level of output?
Answer: 3,000 meals
Explanation:
The 6,000 in this total cost formula represents the fixed costs of providing the Q meals per month.
The 2 represents the variable cost.
If a meal is $4, that means that the Contribution margin is:
= 4 - 2
= $2 per meal
The break-even level of output is:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin per meal
= 6,000 / 2
= 3,000 meals
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.35, what is the current share price
Answer:
53.98
Explanation:
current share price is the present value of dividends
Year 1 = 2.35 x 1.22 = 2.867
Year 2 = 2.867 x 1.22 = 3.50
Year 3 = 3.50 x 1.22 = 4.27

A vendor sells hot dogs at $17.00 /piece. For every hot dog he spends $11.23 in the raw material. Additionally he spends $0.90 for packing each hotdog and monthly $46.00, $25.00, $13.00 as food truck rent, electricity and other expenses respectively. How much is the vendor contributing to covering his fixed costs or generating profits
Answer: $4.87
Explanation:
The question is asking for the Contribution margin which is the amount left of the selling price after the variable costs have been deducted.
Contribution margin = Selling price - variable costs
= Selling price - Raw materials - packing costs
= 17 - 11.23 - 0.90
= $4.87
The Federal Reserve mandates banks and thrifts to deposit in their regional Federal Reserve Bank a fraction of their checkable deposits as:
Answer:
Required Reserves
Explanation:
Fractional banking is a banking system where a portion of customer's deposits is kept as reserves while remaining portion is lent out. The amount kept as reserves is determined by the required reserve ratio set by the Central bank.
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
Reserves = Deposits - outstanding loans
$100,000 - $70,000 = $30,000
there are 2 types of reserves
1. Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.2 x $100,000 = $20,000
2. Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

The expected rates of returns on A and B are given below: Year Expected return on A Expected return on B 2000 14% 16% 2001 15% 17% 2002 16% 18%2003 17% 19%Find the standard deviation of the portfolio. A. 0.955%.B. 1.291%.C. 1.697%.D. 2.124%.E. 2.890%.
Answer:
B. 1.291%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation is shown below;
= 2000 + 2001 + 2002 + 2003
= 0.5 × 14% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 15% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 18% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 19%
= 15% + 16% + 17% + 18%
= stdev( 15% + 16% + 17% + 18%)
= 1.291%
Hence, the correct option is b.
A computer manufacturer is producing a one-of-a-kind innovation called Innovel, a cloud computing software that helps navigate Internet content. While making the channel decision and finalizing the distribution arrangement, the manufacturer is keen on limiting the distribution of Innovel and gives only Techaven Inc. the rights to sell Innovel in that region. Techaven is known for its unique facilities and specialized inventories. In this case, the manufacturer is using the ________ arrangement of distribution.
Answer: exclusive
Explanation:
Exclusive distribution occurs when a manufacturer authorizes only one distributor to sells its product within a particular region. It should be noted that this distribution arrangement is typically used for premium and exclusive products.
Since the manufacturer is keen on limiting the distribution of Innovel and gives only Techaven Inc. the rights to sell Innovel in that region, the this is an exclusive arrangement of distribution.
Howard Inc. had prepaid rent of $79,000 and $88,000 at the end of Year 1 and Year 2, respectively. During Year 2, Howard recorded $244,000 in rent expense in its income statement. Cash outflows for rent in Year 2 were:
Answer:
the Cash outflows for rent in Year 2 is $253,000
Explanation:
The computation of the Cash outflows for rent in Year 2 is shown below:
Prepaid rent at year 2 $88,000
Add: rent expense $244,000
Less: prepaid rent in year 1 -$79,000
Cash outflows for rent in year 2 $253,000
Hence, the Cash outflows for rent in Year 2 is $253,000
Shockglass Company had a beginning inventory of $15,000. During the year, the company recorded inventory purchases of $45,000 and cost of goods sold of $50,000. The ending inventory must equal: A. $10,000. B. $25,000. C. $26,000. D. $27,000.
Answer:
A. $10,000
Explanation:
We know that :
cost of goods sold = opening inventory + purchases - ending inventory
hence,
Ending Inventory = opening inventory + purchases - cost of goods sold
therefore,
Ending Inventory = $15,000 + $45,000 - $50,000
= $10,000
The ending inventory must equal: $10,000
The total factory overhead for Big Light Company is budgeted for the year at $403,750. Big Light manufactures two different products - night lights and desk lamps. Night lights is budgeted for 30,000 units. Each night light requires 1/2 hour of direct labor. Desk lamps is budgeted for 40,000 units. Each desk lamp requires 2 hours of direct labor.
a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year.
_________ direct labor hours
b. Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours as the allocation base. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
________$ per direct labor hour
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the single plantwide factory overhead rate calculated in (b). Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Night Lights _______$ per unit
Desk Lamps _______$ per unit
Answer:
a. Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year = Direct labor hours for night lights + Direct labor hours for desk lamps
= 30,000*1/2 + 40,000*2
= 15,000 + 80,000
= 95,000 hours
b. Single plant-wide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours = Budgeted factory overhead / Budgeted factory hours
= $403,750 / 95,000 hours
= $4.25 per hour
c. Per unit factory overhead = Number of hours required to complete one unit * Factory overhead rate per hour
Night light
Per unit factory overhead = 0.5 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $2.125 per unit
Desk lamp
Per unit factory overhead = 2 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $8.50 per unit
Price Corp. is considering selling to a group of new customers and creating new annual sales of $90,000. Five percent will be uncollectible. The collection cost on all accounts is 3% of new sales, the cost of producing and selling is 80% of sales, and the firm is in the 30% tax bracket. What is the profit on new sales
Answer: $7,560
Explanation:
Before tax Profit = Net sales - Cost of production
Net sales = Sales collected - Cost of collection
= (90,000 * (1 - 5%)) - (90,000 * 3%)
= $82,800
Cost of production = 80% * 90,000
= $72,000
Before tax profit = 82,800 - 72,000
= $10,800
After tax profit = 10,800 * ( 1 - 30%)
= $7,560

Two alternate plans are available for increasing the capacity of existing water transmission lines between an unlimited source and a reservoir. The unlimited source is at a higher elevation then the reservoir. Plan A calls for the construction of a parallel pipeline and flow by gravity. Plan B specifies construction of a booster pumping station. Estimated cost for the two plans are as follows: Hint: Use Present Worth- (do not guess show all your work) i=10%
Plan A : Cost $700,000, Life 40 Years, Annual Operation and Repair $1,000/Year
Plan B: Cost $200,000, Life 40 Years Structure and 20 years equipment, Equipment replacement at the end of 20 years $75,000, Annual Operation and Repairs 52,000/year
a. Plan A $709,779.00
b. Plan A $740,000
c. Plan B $710,165.50
d. Plan B $326,000
Answer:
plan a
Explanation:
present worth of plan A= 700000+1000(p/a,10%,40)
= 700000+1000*9.779
= 700000+9779
= 709779 dollars
present worth of plan b = 200000+75000(p/f,10%,20)+52000/year(p/a,10%,40)
= 200000+75000*0.1486+52000*9.779
= 719653 dollars.
we compare the pw of both a and b, from the solutions above, the present worth of plan a is smaller than that of plan b, so the best option is plan a, $709,779.00
PH produces many electronics products for the USA, Europe, and the UK. The plugs required for each of these geographical areas are different, so originally PH had produced three different versions of each product. Recently, they decided to create one version, and then ship these with three different plugs (i.e., of which two are redundant for the customer). The demands for a particular item for each market are normally distributed with the following parameters: USA – average of 10,000 with a standard deviation of 1,000, Europe – average of 5,000 with a standard deviation of 1,000, and the UK – average of 5,000 with a standard deviation of 500. If PH wants a 90% service level, then how much should their safety stock be according to the new system with one version?
A: Approximately 1,900
B: Approximately 2,500
C: Approximately 3,200
D: Approximately 5,750
Answer:
safety stock=1900
Explanation:
Formula used:
Safety stock= Normsinv(service level) x standard deviation of demand
Solution:
On calculating standard deviation of combined demand using high school maths
standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{1000^2+1000^2+500^2}[/tex]
Here on calculating the safety stock
Safety stock = Normsinv(0.90)x [tex]\sqrt{1000^2+1000^2+500^2}[/tex]
On simplifying,
Safety stock = 1922
Therefore,
The answer is 1900 units
Option is the correct answer
A. approximately 1900
The difference in the answer may be due to the rounding of standard normal deviation

Cost of equity=($1.24928/$17.15)+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0728+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0968*100
Cost of equity=9.68 percent

A 15-year semi-annual coupon bond pays a coupon rate of 7%. The par value of the bond is $1,000. If similar bonds are currently yielding 6%, what is the market value of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price= $1,098.01
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coupon= (0.07/2)*1,000= $35
YTM= 0.06/2= 0.03
n= 15*2= 30
Face value= $1,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 35*{[1 - (1.03^-30)] / 0.03} + (1,000 / (1.03^30)]
Bond Price= 686.02 + 411.99
Bond Price= $1,098.01
