Answer:
A)
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25%
B)
real rate of return = [(1 + nominal rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
nominal rate = 5.5% x 1.1= 6.05%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.05%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25
nominal rate = 6.25% x 1.1= 6.875%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.875%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1.79%
The return on investment can be obtained by multiplying return on equity times asset turnover.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B. False
Explanation: The return on investment defined as the benefit gained by an investor from an investment can not be obtained by multiplying return on equity times asset turnover making the assumption or statement wrong. However, the return on investment can be obtained by multiplying return on sales, which is a measure of how a firm turns sales into revenue, times asset turnover.
On January 2, 2021, L Co. issued at face value $26,500 of 3% bonds convertible in total into 2,300 shares of L's common stock. No bonds were converted during 2021. Throughout 2021, L had 2,300 shares of common stock outstanding. L's 2021 net income was $8,500. L's income tax rate is 20%. No potential common shares other than the convertible bonds were outstanding during 2021. L's diluted earnings per share for 2021 would be:
Answer:
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 = $1.98
Explanation:
Bond interest expense $883
(26,500 * 3%)
Bond interest expense, net of tax $618
(883*(1-30%) )
Net income for diluted earnings $9,118
($8,500 + $618 )
Actual and Potential common shares 4,600 shares
(2,300 shares + 2,300 shares)
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 = Net income for diluted earnings / Actual and Potential common shares
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 = $9,118 / 4,600
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 = $1.98
othman Incorporated has a $800,000 investment opportunity with the following characteristics: Sales $ 2,240,000 Contribution margin ratio 50% of sales Fixed expenses $ 1,008,000 The margin for this investment opportunity is closest to:
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
We have net operating income as sales x contribution margin. The fixed expense would be subtracted from the resulting value.
2,240000 * 0.5
= 1,112,000
1112000 - 1008000
= 112000
The margin =
112000/2240000
= 0.05
Also 5 percent
The margin for this investment opportunity is closest to 5 percent.
Regarding employment or association with attest clients, the employment of a former partner
by a client in a key position most likely impairs firm independence if
A. Team members have interactions with the former partner.
B. The former partner cannot influence the accounting firm’s operations.
C. Amounts are to be paid to the former partner based on a fixed formula.
D. The former partner consults with the accounting firm.
Answer:
D. The former partner consults with the accounting firm.
Explanation:
An attest client is defined as a person or entity that an attest activity is performed for.
An attest service is performed by a third party who provides an independent review of a client's business based on specific procedures.
For example when an auditor performs independent review of a company's financial records.
The relationship with an attest client must be carefully considered before an engagement is accepted.
So in this scenario if a former employee of a firm is employed by an attest client it will impair the firm's independence if the former partner still consults with the firm.
A company has revenue of $1000 in 2009. Our current estimate is that revenues will grow 25% per year. Our profit each year will equal 20% of revenue. What annual growth rate (rounded to the nearest 1%) in revenue would yield a total profit of $15,000 for years 2009-2015 for this situation. Enter just the number; e.g., 65%.
Answer:
85.3%
Explanation:
since profits = 20% of total revenue, so total revenue = $15,000 / 20% = $75,000
That means that total revenue must grow from $1,000 to $75,000 in just 7 years. We can use the future value formula to determine the growth rate:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
$75,000 = $1,000 x (1 + r)⁷
(1 + r)⁷ = $75,000 / $1,000 = 75
⁷√(1 + r)⁷ = ⁷√75
1 + r = 1.853
r = 1.853 - 1 = 0.853 = 85.3%
If the commercial mortgages on the balance sheet of this bank decline in value then the value of the bank's equity will rise.a. Trueb. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
According to the Accounting equation, the debit side must equal the credit side.
The Commercial mortgages for this bank are on the debit side so if they reduce, the credit side will have to reduce as well to remain in balance.
The Equity will therefore not rise but rather decrease in value so that the two sides will be balanced.

What is the MIRR of a project with the following cash flows? The WACC = 11.9%. Year 0 1 2 3 Cash Flow -100 50 50 50 Group of answer choices 19.0% 11.9% 23.4% Cannot be determined without knowing the IRR. CHEGG
Answer:
the MIRR of a project is 19.0%.
Explanation:
The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.
Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)
= $50 x (1.119) ^ 2 + $50 x (1.119) ^ 1 + $50 x (1.119) ^ 0
= $62.61 + $55.95 + $50.00
= $168.56
The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :
-$100 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
$168.56 CFj
Shift IRR/Yr 19.0104% or 19.0%
Therefore, the MIRR is 19.0%.
a pension fund has an average duration of its liabilities equal to 15 years. the fund is looking at 8-year maturity zero-coupon bonds yield perpetuities to immunize its interest rate risk how much of its portfolio should it allocate to the zero-coupon bonds to immmunize if there are no other assets funding the plan
Answer:
a = 27.6%
Explanation:
The computation of the allocation of zero coupon bonds is shown below:
But before that we need to determine the following calculations
Duration of perpetuity is
= 1.06 ÷ .0.06
= 17.67 years
Now the equation should be
Let us assume the allocation of zero coupon bond be a
15 years = a × 8 + (1 - a) × 17.67
15 years = 8a + 17.67 - 17.67a
-2.67 = -9.67a
a = 27.6%

Cadavieco Detailing's cost formula for its materials and supplies is $1,990 per month plus $4 per vehicle. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 94 vehicles, but the actual level of activity was 54 vehicles. The actual materials and supplies for the month was $2,250. The materials and supplies in the planning budget for November would be closest to:
Answer:
$2366
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost formular for Cadavieco for its material and supplies is $1,990 per month plus $4 per vehicle.
That is :
Cost formular : 1990 + 4x
Where 1990 is the fixed cost
4x is the variable cost which depends on x, number of vehicles.
In November :
Planned activity = 94 vehicles
Actual activity : 54 vehicles
Therefore, materials and supplies in planning budget for November :
Fixed cost + 4(planned activity)
$1990 + $4(94)
$1990 + $376
= $2366
Suppose an investment offers to triple your money in 48 months (don't believe it). Required: What rate of return per quarter are you being offered? ?
a) 9.59%
b) 7.82%
c) 5.31%
d) 6.4%
e) 711%
Answer:
Rate of return per quarter = 7.11%
Explanation:
The rate of return is the percentage return earned if compounding is done quarterly. It can be worked as follows:
r= (FV/PV - 1)- 1× 100
r- rate of return
FV= Future value of the investment after 48 months
PV= Amount invested now
Let the amount invested i.e PV be 10.
If the investment is tripped, the sum earned would be 3×10 = 30
DATA
FV- 30
PV- 10
n-48/3= 16
r= ?
r = ((30/10)^1/16 -1 )× 100
r= 7.1075 × 100 = 7.11%
r= 7.11%
Rate of return per quarter = 7.11%

The Lewiston Company accrues $100 for one day’s wage expense at 12/31/22. The 1/2/23 reversing entry is not made. These wages plus wages of two days in the new year are paid on 1/2/23. Total cash paid is $300. The following journal entry is made on 1/2/23: Wage Expense $300 Cash $300 Indicate the errors for 12/31/23 Retained Earnings and 2023 Wage Expense, respectively:
Answer:
since $100 worth of 2022 wages were reported ion 2023, the wages expense account for 2023 will be overstated by $100, so net income 2023 will be understated by $100.
Even thought the net income 2023 was understated, the retained earnings account will not be understated. This is because the net income 2022 was overstated by $100, which will offset the understatement of the net income 2023 account.
Wages expense is a temporal account which must be closed at the end of the accounting period, while retained earnings is a permanent account that is carried from one year to another.
Huey has eaten two hamburgers and is considering a third.The marginal benefit in his decision is the pleasure from consuming
A) the two previous hamburgers.
B) all three hamburgers.
C) just the third hamburger.
D) just the second hamburger.
E) the third hamburger minus the pleasure from consuming zero hamburgers.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A rational consumer would keep consuming as long as he continues to derive satisfaction from consuming one more unit of a product..
For example, if you have eaten two hamburgers and you are contemplating whether to consume one more unit of hamburger or not. one of the factors you would consider is if you would derive a marginal benefit from one more consumption. If you would, you would consume one more hamburger and if you would not, you won't consume the hamburger
A car manufacturer is considering locating an assembly plant in your region.
A. List a simple, a intermediate and a complex problem associated with this proposal?
B. What is NIMBY? Dos this come into play for this complex decision?
Answer: Perception of the society towards this.
Explanation:
When citing an industry or production site in a locality most often capital is required to get this done but in many scenario capital doesn't seems to be the problem, as the location where these industry is aimed to be planted may likely have an issue with the residents of that environment as regards planting the industry. Some times these opposition is done for obvious reasons as regards health consideration which comes with noise and air pollution but some other times there may be unjustifiable reasons for these not to be planted, probably due greed or the community seeks a share in the resources or return in investment when the firm is planted in their resident. This is a complex problem.
A simple problem would be closeness to the market. If the product in question is desired by the residents in that area, even though the manufacturer might want to be exporting but it'll be a big plus if the residents consider his products more than the external environment.
Nimby can defined as when an individual or a group opposes a decision for the citing of infrastructure and industies in their environment, claiming them to be hazardous to the residents of the environment.
This comes into play for the complex decision because if those residing in the environment don't give a "go ahead" for planting of the industry it won't be successful.

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem.
Data: S₀ = 106; X = 112; 1 + r = 1.12. The two possibilities for ST are 149 and 75.
The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put
Answer: the hedge ratio of the put H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5
Explanation:
Given that;
S₀ = 106, X = 112, 1 + r = 1.12
Us₀ = 149 ⇒ Pu = 0
ds₀ = 75 ⇒ Pd = 37
To find the Hedge ratio using the expression
H = Pu - Pd /Us₀ - ds₀
so we substitute
H = 0 - 37 / 149 - 75
H = - 37/ 74
H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

b. Listen carefully to the cocerns of the franchise operators.
c. Treat the operators as servants in a nice way.
d. Threat the operators as servants in a mean way,
Answer: b. Listen carefully to the concerns of the franchise operators.
Explanation: A servant leader is one that is there for his team. This he does by checking in with them often to see how they are, what they need, and is involved in helping them develop the required skills needed to advance their careers. Servant leaders also make effort to see situations from other people's perspectives and they therefore make decisions with the team's best interests in mind, as this ensures everyone has the resources and knowledge they need to meet their objectives and goals of the organization.
If Tamara wants to be the servant leader of her group of franchise operators, then she should engage in listening carefully to the concerns of the franchise operators as this would make her team one of the most successful in the company, with low staff turnover and high engagement.
Find the APR or stated rate in each of the following cases and show calculations:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
1. 10.6%-EAR , compounded semiannually
2. 11.5% EAR, compounded monthly
3. 9.2% EAR, compounded weekly
4. 12.9% EAR, compounded Infinite
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The formula is
APR = P × {(EAR + 1 )^(1 ÷ P) - 1}
1. For semi annually
= 2 × (0.106 + 1)^(1 ÷ 2) - 1}
= 10.33%
2. For monthly
= 12 × (0.115 + 1)^(1 ÷ 12) - 1}
= 10.93%
3. For weekly
= 52 × (0.092 + 1)^(1 ÷ 52) - 1}
= 8.81%
4. For infinite
= 365 × (0.129 + 1)^(1 ÷ 365) - 1}
= 12.10%
