Justin Time Guitars manufactures electric guitars. The following data relate to the standards for direct labor: Standard direct labor hours per guitar Standard direct labor rate per hour Justin Time had the following actual results for March: Actual direct labor hours Actual total direct labor cost Actual number of guitars produced What is the direct labor efficiency variance for March?
standard Ditect labour hour 3.5
Standard direct labour rate $17
Actual direct labour hour 650
Actual direct labour cost 26200
Actual number of guitars produced - 525
Answer
Efficiency variance =$20,187.5
Explanation
Labour efficiency variance is the difference between the actual time taken to achieve a given production output less the standard hours allowed for same multiplied by the standard labour rate
Hours
525 units should have taken (525× 3.5) = 1,837.5
but did take 650
efficiency variance (hours) 1187.5 favorable
standard labor rate × $ 17
Efficiency variance ($) $20,187.5 favorable
Efficiency variance =$20,187.5

Answer:
Following are the answer to this question:
In question first, the answer is "Option d".
In question second, the answer is "Option e".
In question third, the answer is "Option e".
In question fourth, the answer is "Option e ".
In question fifth, the answer is "Option b".
Explanation:
Given values:
[tex]Checkable \ deposits = \$ 400,000,000\\Currency = \$ 340,000,000\\Traveler's \ checks = \$ 4,000,000\\Money \ market \ mutual \ funds = \$ 50,000,000\\Small \ time \ deposits = \$ 6,000,000\\Savings \ deposits = \$ 850,000,000\\[/tex]
Solution:
[tex]\text{M1= currency +checkable deposits + travellers check}[/tex]= $400000000+$340000000+$4000000
= $744000000
[tex]\bold{\text{M2 = M1 +money market mutual funds + small time deposit+ saving deposit}}[/tex]
= $744000000 + $50000000+$6000000+$850000000
= $1,650,000,000
Saving account deposits, which means its amount of money increased throughout the M2 portion regular savings account. So M2 will grow Its increase in the number of employees may not impact the balance sheet with banks, because each bank maintains its entire cash flow For banks, loans are investments if they're lending money as a bank to people. So, it's on income statement asset sideThe 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 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

Hybrid cars are touted as a "green" alternative; however,the financial aspects of hybrid ownership are not as clear. Consider the 2018 Edsel 550h, which had a list price of $5200 (including tax consequences) more than the comparable Edsel550. Additionally, the annual ownership costs ( other than fuel) for the hybrid were expected to be $330 more than the traditional sedan. The EPA mileage estimates was 27 mpg for the hybris and 19mpg for the hybrid and 19 mpg for the traditional sedan.
A. Assume that gasoline costs $3.60 per gallon and you plan to keep either car for six years. How many miles per year would you need to drive to make the decision to buy the hybrid worthwhile, ignoring the time value of money?
B. If you drive 15,500 miles per year and keep either car for six years, what price per gallon would make the decision to buy the hybrid worthwhile, ignoring the time value of money?
C. Gasoline costs $3.60 per gallon and you plan to keep either car for six years. How many miles per year would you need to drive to make the decision to buy the hybrid worthwhile? Assume the appropriate interest rate is 10 percent and all cash flows occur at the end of the year.
D. If you drive 15,500 miles per year and keep either car for six years, what price per gallon would make the decision to buy the hybrid worthwhile? Assume the appropriate interest rate is 10 percent and all cash flows occur at the end of the year.
Answer:
a)
the hybrid model initially costs $5,200 more than the regular model, plus you have another $330 in extra ownership costs per year. If you plan to own the hybrid car for 6 years, then you must recoup $5,200 / 6 = $866.67 + $330 = $1,196.67 per year.
the cost of driving 1 mile with the hybrid car = $3.60 / 27 = $0.1333
the cost of driving 1 mile with the regular model = $3.60 / 19 = $0.1895
you will save = $0.0562 per mile driven
you would need to drive $1,196.67 / $0.0562 = 21,293 miles per year to make the decision worth it
b)
if you only drive 15,500 miles per year, then you would need to save $0.0772 per mile
that would only result if gasoline's price was:
x/19 - x/27 = 0.0772
0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0772
0.0156x = 0.0772
x = 0.0772 / 0.0156 = $4.95 per gallon
c)
you must first determine the present value of all additional expenses related to purchasing a hybrid:
year cash flow
0 -5,200
1 -330
2 -330
3 -330
4 -330
5 -330
6 -330
Using a financial calculator, the PV = -$6,637.24
now we must use an annuity formula to determine the annual savings required using a 10% discount rate and 6 periods:
annual savings = $6,637.24 / 4.3553 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 6 periods) = $1,523.95
so you must save $1,523.95 per year and that is equivalent to $1,523.95 / $0.0562 = 27,116.47 = 27,116 miles
d)
you also need to save $1,523.95, but you only drive 15,500 miles, so the savings per mile = $0.0983
x/19 - x/27 = 0.0983
0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0983
0.0156x = 0.0983
x = 0.0983 / 0.0156 = $6.30 per gallon
The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks, obtaining the figure:
Week Crew Size Yards Installed
1 4 96
2 3 72
3 4 92
4 2 50
5 3 69
6 2 52
Compute labor productivity for each of the weeks. On the basis of your calculations, what can you conclude about crew size and productivity?
Answer:
Week Crew Size Yards Installed
1 4 96
2 3 72
3 4 92
4 2 50
5 3 69
6 2 52
labor productivity = total output / number of employees
week 1 ⇒ 96 / 4 = 24 yards installed per worker
week 2 ⇒ 72 / 3 = 24 yards installed per worker
week 3 ⇒ 92 / 4 = 23 yards installed per worker
week 4 ⇒ 50 / 2 = 25 yards installed per worker
week 5 ⇒ 69 / 3 = 23 yards installed per worker
week 6 ⇒ 52 / 2 = 26 yards installed per worker
The crew size that results in the highest productivity is 2 workers per crew, and they install between 25-26 yards per worker.
The other crew sizes (3 or 4 workers) have a productivity of 23-24 yards per worker.
A project that provides annual cash flows of $18,200 for nine years costs $88,000 today.
What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 8 percent? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
a. At a required return of 8 percent, should the firm accept this project?
Accept
Reject
b. What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 20 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
c. At a required return of 20 percent, should the firm accept this project?
Accept
Reject
d. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer:
a) the project should be accepted because its NPV is positive ($25,693.36)
b) if the required rate of return is 20%, the NPV = -$14,636.41
c) the project should be rejected because its NPV is negative
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 -$88,000
cash flows years 1 - 9= $18,200
required rate of return = 8%
NPV = $25,693.36
required rate of return = 20%
NPV = -$14,636.41
the project's IRR = 14.63%

Journal Entry:
Date Description Debit Credit
O'Hara Capital A/c $50,000
Cash Account $50,000
To record the withdrawal of O'Hara and his capital interest.
Explanation:
The Partnership of O'Hara, Parness, and Lincoln can use the journal entry as above to record the withdrawal of a partner. The O'Hara's Capital account previously had a credit balance and cash will be involved in settling O'Hara, the journal entries to complete the withdrawal of O'Hara are a debit to the O'Hara's Capital account and a credit to the Cash account. This arrangement is in accordance with the partnership agreement. This is the most important governing law for the partnership and everything or transaction affecting the partnership must be done accordingly. It is only in the absence of an agreement that the laws or general practise concerning partnership can be applied.
The following account balances were extracted from the accounting records of Thomas Corporation at the end of the year: Accounts Receivable Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Credit) UncollectibleAccount Expense What is the net realizable value of the accounts receivable?
Complete Questions:
The following account balances were extracted from the accounting records of Thomas Corporation at the end of the year: Accounts Receivable $1,105,000. Allowance for uncollectible accounts (credit) $37,000. Uncollectible-Account Expense $64,000 . What is the net realizable value of the accounts receivable?
A. $1,142,000
B. $1,169,000
C. $1,105, 000
D. $1,068,000
Explain
Answer:
Thomas Corporation
D. $1,068,000
Explanation:
1. Data and Calculations:
Accounts Receivable $1,105,000
less Allowance for uncollectible accounts (credit) $37,000
Net realizable value = $1,068,000
2. Thomas Corporation's Accounts Receivable balance is a debit balance and the Allowance for uncollectible accounts is a credit balance. Since the Allowance for uncollectible accounts is a contra account to the Accounts Receivable, when the two are netted, the balance is the net realizable value of the Accounts Receivable.
3. Thomas cannot include the Uncollectible-Account Expense of $64,000
in the computation of the net realizable value since it has been charged and closed to the income summary and as a temporary account, it cannot be treated as other permanent accounts.
Waterway Industries reported sales of $2000000 last year (100000 units at $20 each), when the break-even point was 63000 units. Waterway’s margin of safety ratio is
Answer:
Margin Of Safety Ratio is 37%
Explanation:
As we all know that:
Margin Of Safety Ratio = (Actual Sales Units - Breakeven Point) / Actual Sales
Here
Actual Sales is $2,000,000 and selling price is $20, which means that total 100,000 units were sold.
Breakeven Point is 63000 Units
By putting values, we have:
Margin Of Safety Ratio = (100,000 Units - 63,000 Units) / 100,000
Margin Of Safety Ratio = 0.37 which is 37%
A registered representative conducts a seminar about investing in the meeting room of a local apartment complex. At the end of the talk, he hands out his business card and tells the attendees that if they want additional information, please write their contact information on the reverse side of the business card and return it to him. When he gets back to the office and starts to re-contact some of the attendees who returned the business card, he finds that one of them is blocked because the client name is on the National Do Not Call Registry. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: A. This prospect can be called by the registered representative
Explanation:
The National Do Not Call Registry protects people from being called by telemarketers.
There are however some exceptions to this with one of them being the Prior Express Written Consent Exception.
The client by giving the registered representative their contact number to be able to talk to them, gave written consent and so the registered representative is allowed to call them.

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
Consider a four-year project with the following information: initial fixed asset investment = $555,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $37; variable costs = $25; fixed costs = $230,000; quantity sold = 79,000 units; tax rate = 24 percent. How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
for every 1% increase in the quantity sold, OCF increases by 1.24%
for every 1% decrease in the quantity sold, OCF decreases by 1.24%
Explanation:
Consider a four-year project with the following information: initial fixed asset investment = $555,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $37; variable costs = $25; fixed costs = $230,000; quantity sold = 79,000 units; tax rate = 24 percent. How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold?
initial outlay = $555,000
depreciation expense per year = $555,000 / 4 = $138,750
contribution margin per unit = $37 - $25 = $12
quantity sold = 79,000 units
tax rate = 24%
fixed costs = $230,000
OCF = {[(79,000 x $12) - $230,000 - $138,750] x (1 - 24%)} + $138,750 = $578,980
if sales increase by 10%, OCF = {[(86,900 x $12) - $230,000 - $138,750] x (1 - 24%)} + $138,750 = $651,028 ⇒ 12.44% increase
if sales decrease by 10%, OCF = {[(71,100 x $12) - $230,000 - $138,750] x (1 - 24%)} + $138,750 = $506,932 ⇒ 12.44% decrease

Mr. Schrute pays a month rent for his store, and also pays a month to his staff in addition to the commissions. Mr. Schrute sold generators in June. 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 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
"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.
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%
Using the section in AS 2110 called "Obtaining an Understanding of the Company and its Environment" as a guide, describe three major deficiencies of Garcia and Foster’s documentation on page 45. 2. Did Garcia and Foster compute materiality on page 44 correctly? According to AS 2105, what is the difference between planning materiality and tolerable misstatement?
Requirement 1:
Well I wasn't able to find the question, but I will list here almost all the possible documentation deficiencies that will play important part in planning audit.
The documentation deficiencies are mostly because of control risks and inherent risk and these are addressed below:
The control risk occurs when the internal control fails to bring efficiency in recording of facts and this practice results in material misstatement either due to error or fraud. So if the internal control system of Garcia and Foster is not well enough that it doesn't bring fairness in the transaction recordings then the internal control system would be high.
Inherent risk is the risk of material misstatement that is posed by an error or omission in recording of financial facts that would result in material misstatement and this is not because of failure of internal control system designed. Inherent risk occurs when a high degree of judgment is required for estimations, solving complex transactions like recording of financial instruments, etc.
Kindly have understanding of these so that you be able to identify the deficiencies of Garcia and Foster.
Requirement 2:
The setting of materiality is dependent on two things. These are professional judgement and the experience of the auditor. Following are some methods of calculating materiality level:
5% of Income before tax1% of sales revenue0.5% of total assets1% of shareholder's equityI think this will help you in deciding whether the materiality level set was correct or not.
Requirement 3:
The planning materiality is the materiality level set at the planning phase of audit. The materiality level is determined by analyzing the draft of financial statement presented by the management.
Whereas on the other hand, tolerable misstatement is the misstatement in the line item of financial statement but this misstatement doesn't impact the fair presentation of the financial statement. If the potential risks associated with the company which might include the internal control risk, inherent risk, audit risk, etc, are higher then the tolerable misstatement might be 10% of the materiality level set. This means if the associated risk with the company is high then the tolerable materiality level set would be lower so that the evidence gathered would be sufficient enough to form a right opinion about the truth and fairness of the financial statement. Furthermore, individually though the tolerable misstatement is not a material misstatement but the aggregate misstatement with other tolerable misstatement might surpass the materiality level. Thus setting tolerable level is very useful in the planning phase.
A decentralized organizational structure is predicated on a belief that A. decision-making authority should be put in the hands of the people closest to and most familiar with the situation, and these people should be trained to exercise good judgment. B. a command-and-control organizational scheme is the lowest cost and best way to organize the work effort. C. top executives often lack the expertise and wisdom to decide what is the wisest and best course of action. D. the best decisions emerge from a collegial, collaborative culture where decisions are made by general consensus (at least a majority vote) on what to do and when. E. organizing into work teams, having team members elect a team leader, and having team members vote on the best way to do things greatly reduces corporate bureaucracy.
Answer:
A. decision-making authority should be put in the hands of the people closest to and most familiar with the situation, and these people should be trained to exercise good judgment.
Explanation:
A decentralized organization can be defined as one whose decision-making process is not only in the hands of top management, that is, in this type of decision making, employees of lower hierarchical levels also participate in essential company decisions, therefore the alternative best suited to the beliefs of a decentralized organizational structure is that decision-making authority should be placed in the hands of the people closest to and most familiar with the situation, and these people should be trained to exercise common sense.
Some factors that contribute to this type of structure are the organizational culture, the work environment, the organizational strategy, etc.
Some of the advantages of decentralization are the reduction of time for an important decision and the engagement of the team of employees to assist in the decision-making process, which consists of greater motivation and job satisfaction
Demand for a product is 12,000 units per year. Every time an order is made, the company must pay $15.00 per order. The cost to hold an order in inventory is $2.00 per unit per year. Calculate the cost if the company orders 3,000 units each time.
Answer:
Total cost is $24060
Explanation:
Total demand per year = 12000 units
Size of one order = 3000 units
Total number of orders = 12000 / 3000 = 4
Per order cost = $15
Per unit cost = $2
Below is the calculation to find the total cost.
Total cost = Number of orders × Per order cost + Total demand per year × Per unit cost
Now insert the values.
Total cost = 4 ×15 + 12000 × 2
Total cost = $24060
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
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
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.

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 %
A coupon bond that pays semiannual interest is reported in the Wall Street Journal as having an ask price of 116% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made 3 months ago and the coupon rate is 5.90%, the invoice price of the bond will be _________. Multiple Choice $1,160.00 $1,189.50 $1,174.75 $1,130.50\
Answer:
$1,174.75
Explanation:
The computation of the invoice price of the bond is shown below:
As we know that
Invoice Price of Bond = Ask Price of Bond + Accrued interest
where,
Ask Price is
= $1,000 × 116%
= $1,160
Interest accrued for 3 months is
= $1,000 × 5.90% × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $14.75
So,
Invoice Price of Bond is
= $1,160.00 + $14.75
= $1,174.75
Miller Corporation has a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond has a coupon rate of 8 percent, a YTM of 6 percent, and 18 years to maturity. The Modigliani Company has a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond has a coupon rate of 6 percent, a YTM of 8 percent, and also has 18 years to maturity. Both bonds have a par value of $1,000. a. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Company Price of Bond
Miller Corporation $1,218.32
Modigliani Company $810.92
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond Miller Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment = 8%× 1000× 1/2 =40
Semi-annual yield = 6%/2 = 3% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 18) = 36 periods
PV of interest =
40× (1- (1+0.03^(-36)/0.03)= 873.29
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.03)^(-36) =345.03
Step 3:
Price of bond
= 873.29 + 345.03= $1,218.32
Modigliani Company
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment = 6%× 1000× 1/2 =30
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2 = 4% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 18) = 36 periods
PV of interest =
30× (1- (1+0.04^(-36)/0.04)= 567.25
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.03)^(-36) =243.66
Step 3:
Price of bond
= 567.2484586 + 243.66 = $810.92
Price of bond = $810.92
You own a house that you rent for $1,525 per month. The maintenance expenses on the house average $285 per month. The house cost $236,000 when you purchased it 4 years ago. A recent appraisal on the house valued it at $258,000. If you sell the house you will incur $20,640 in real estate fees. The annual property taxes are $3,350. You are deciding whether to sell the house or convert it for your own use as a professional office. What value should you place on this house when analyzing the option of using it as a professional office
Answer:
$237,360
Explanation:
you must first determine the market value of your house = appraisal value - sales expenses = $258,000 - $20,640 = $237,360
the market value of the house is your opportunity cost of using the house as an office.
opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one investment or activity over another alternative.
