Answer:
$96,000
Explanation:
Increase in current assets = $302,000
Retained earnings = Net income - Dividends
Retained earnings = $609,000 - $403,000
Retained earnings = $206,000
External financing needed = Increase in current assets - Retained earnings
External financing needed = $302,000 - $206,000
External financing needed = $96,000

One year ago, you purchased $6,000 worth of a mutual fund at an offering price of $38.10 a share. Today, the fund distributed $0.20 in short-term gains and $1.04 in long-term gains. The current offering price is $41.80. The fund has a front-end load of 5 percent and total annual operating expenses of 1.25 percent. What is your rate of return on this investment?
a. 7.48 percent
b. 9.91 percent
c. 2.87 percent
d. 3.54 percent
e. 6.06 percent
Answer:
a. 7.48%
Explanation:
Number of shares = $ 6,000 / $ 38.10
Number of shares = 157.48
Rate of return = [Number of shares * (Short term gans + Long term gains + ((1 - Front end load) * (Current offering price)) - Purchase price] / Purchase price
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($0.20 + $1.04 + ((1 - 0.05 ) * $41.80)) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($0.20 + $1.04 + (0.95 * $41.80)) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($1.24 + $39.71) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = $448.806 / $6,000
Rate of return = 0.074801
Rate of return = 7.48%

The Molding Division of Cotwold Company manufactures a plastic casing used by the Assembly Division. This casing is also sold to external customers for $39 per unit. Variable costs for the casing are $12 per unit and fixed cost is $6 per unit. Cotwold executives would like for the Molding Division to transfer 22,000 units to the Assembly Division at a price of $33 per unit. Assume that the Molding Division has excess capacity, but the Assembly Division requires the casing to be made from a specific blend of plastics. This would raise the variable cost per unit to $37.
Answer:
1. No, the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management.
2. The minimum transfer price that the Molding Division will accept is $37.
3. Mutually beneficial transfer price = $38.00
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the requirements are missing. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:
Required:
1. Should the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management?
2. Determine the minimum transfer price that it will accept.
3. Determine the mutually beneficial transfer price so that the two divisions equally split the profits from the transfer. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Note: Since it is assumed that the Molding Division has excess capacity, the relevant cost to consider whether or not to accept is the variable cost per unit. The fixed cost per unit is not relevant as it will be incurred whether or not the transfer is accepted.
We can now proceed as follows:
1. Should the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management?
No, the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management. This is because it is lower than the variable cost per unit of $37 for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division.
2. Determine the minimum transfer price that it will accept.
The minimum transfer price that the Molding Division will accept is $37. This is equal to the variable cost per unit of $37 for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division.
3. Determine the mutually beneficial transfer price so that the two divisions equally split the profits from the transfer. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be determined as follows:
Profit per unit from selling to external customers = Selling price per unit to external customers - Variable cost per unit for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division = $39 - $37 = $2.00
Mutually beneficial transfer price = Variable cost per unit for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division + (Profit per unit from selling to external customers / 2) = $37 + ($2 / 2) = $38.00

The Molding Department of Boswell Company has the following production data: beginning work process 40,000 units (60% complete), started into production 730,000 units, completed and transferred out 690,000 units, and ending work in process 80,000 units (40% complete). Assuming conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process, the equivalent units for conversion costs are:
Answer: 770,000 units
Explanation:
The Equivalent units for Conversion cost is calculated as:
= Total units completed and transferred out + Equivalent units of closing work in process
As the conversion costs were incurred uniformly during the process, the entire closing work in process would have already incurred conversion cost. Conversion cost closing equivalent units are therefore 80,000 units.
Equivalent units for Conversion cost = 690,000 + 80,000
= 770,000 units
(Advanced analysis) Answer the question on the basis of the following information for a mixed open economy.

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(Advanced analysis) Answer the question on the basis of the following information for a mixed open economy. The letters Y, Ca, Ig, Xn, G, and T stand for GDP, consumption, gross investment, net exports, government purchases, and net taxes respectively. Figures are in billions of dollars.
Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T)
Ig = Ig0 = 50
Xn = Xn0 = 10
G = G0 = 70
T = T0 = 30
Refer to the information. If government desired to raise the equilibrium GDP to $650, it could:
a. raise G by $45 or reduce T by $10.
b. raise G by $40 and reduce T by $30.
c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.
d. raise both and T by $40.
e. reduce G by $30 and increase T by $40.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Equilibrium GDP (Y) can be obtained as follows:
Y = C + G + I + Xn …………………….. (1)
Substituting all the values in the question into equation (1) and solve for Y, we have:
Y = 25 + 0.75(Y - 30) + 70 + 50 + 10
Y = 0.75Y - 22.50 + 155
Y – 0.75Y = 132.50
0.25Y = 132.50
Y = 132.50 / 0.25
Y = 530
Therefore, we have:
Y = Current equilibrium GDP = $530
Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required = Desired equilibrium GDP – Current equilibrium GDP = 650 - 530 = 120
From the question, we have:
Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T) ………………. (2)
The 0.75 in equation (2) is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Therefore, we have:
MPC = 0.75
Expenditure multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 – MPC) = -0.75 / (1 – 0.75) = -3
Amount of increase in G or government expenditure required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Expenditure multiplier = 120 / 4 = $30
Amount of tax cut or decrease in T required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Tax multiplier = 120 / (-3) = -$40
Therefore, correct option is c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.

Answer: the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase.
Explanation:
The hydroelectric power operators are incurring the cost of cleaning the river before they can use it. This cost is money that they could be investing in the business in order to produce more power.
If the government corrects the externality and limits the amount of waste being thrown into the river, the hydroelectric company would be able to invest the expenses it was incurring in clean up into generating more power which would lead to a higher supply of output from the power station.
Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $68 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC = 9q. This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 9*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 9*2, etc.). If fixed costs are $60, what is the optimal output level?
Answer:
8 units
Explanation:
P = $68 per unit
MC = 9q
Fixed cost = $60
It is noted that seller can sell as much as a product at $68 per unit. This means that the firm is price taken, hence, it is case of perfect competition.
For a perfectly competitive firm, the optimal output is at: P = MC
i.e. 68 = 9q
=> q = 68/9
=> q = 7.556
> q = 8
So, the optimal output level is 8 units.

EBT=$55/0.60
EBT=$91.67
EBIT=EBT+interest
EBIT=$91.67+$19
EBIT=$110.67
NOPAT=$110.67*(1-40%)
NOPAT=$66.41
WACC=9.0%

Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $350,000
Year 2 $450,000
Year 3 $450,000
Year 4 $450,000
Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.'s weighted average cost of capital is 8%, and project Beta has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Beta's NPV?
Answer:
Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.
Based on the cash flows, project Beta's NPV is negative:
= ($1,602,200).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment in project Beta = $3,000,000
Weighted average cost of capital = 8%
Net cash flows:
Year Cash Flow Discount Factor Present Value
Year 1 $350,000 0.926 $324,100
Year 2 $450,000 0.857 385,650
Year 3 $450,000 0.794 357,300
Year 4 $450,000 0.735 330,750

NPV = -$1,602,200
b) Cold Goose should not pursue the investment. The cash outflows outweigh the cash inflows by more than 50%. The net present value of the project is negative.
A stock just paid an annual dividend of $1.10. The dividend is expected to increase by 10 percent per year for the next two years and then increase by 2 percent per year thereafter. The discount rate is 14 percent. What correctly computes the current stock price?
Answer: $10.79
Explanation:
This requires the use of the Dividend Discount Model.
The price of the stock is the present value of the dividends for the two years and then the Terminal value.
Terminal value = Third year dividend / (Required return - Growth rate)
= (1.10 * 1.10² * 1.02) / (14% - 2%)
= 1.35762 / 12%
= $11.31
Price of stock is:
= Present value of first year dividend + Present value of second year dividend + Present value of Terminal value
= ((1.10 * 1.1) / 1.14) + (( 1.10 * 1.1²) / 1.14²) + (11.31 / 1.14²)
= $10.79
Calculate the annual coupon payment if the semi-annual coupon paying bond price is $920, the yield for the bond is 6%, the bond's face value is $1,000 and matures in 9 years.
The annual coupon payment is $48.40.

Which of the following relationships is NOT valid? A. When marginal cost is above average variable cost, AVC is rising. B. Rising marginal cost implies that average total cost is also rising. C. When marginal cost is below average total cost, the latter is falling. D. None of the above
Answer:
b
Explanation:
All of the following questions are open-ended problems. You must compute an answer for every problem. For percentage answers, calculate your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, you would record ROA = .1263974 as 12.64% (note that on D2L you will enter 12.64 without the percent sign). For dollar answers, round to the nearest dollar. For example, you would record $12,345.83943 as $12,346 (note that on D2L you will enter 12346 without a comma and without the dollar sign).13. Felton Farm Supplies, Inc. has an ROA (return on assets) of 12 percent, total assets of $1,000,000 and a net profit margin of 4.25 percent. What are Felton Farm Supplies annual sales?14. Krisle and Kringle's debt ratio = 72.0%. What is the company’s debt-to-equity ratio? (Enter answer as a ratio rounded to 2 decimal places – that is, do not convert to a percent; for example, enter 80/35 = 2.2857 as 2.29).15. Philips, Inc has a debt ratio of 42.5% and ROE = 15%. What is Phillips’ ROA? (Enter answer as a percent).16. A firm has an ROA of 16% and a debt/equity ratio of 1.45. The firm's ROE is _________. (Enter answer as a percent).17. Assume that XYZ, Inc. has:Debt ratio = 70% Net profit margin = 15% Return on assets (ROA) = 7.5% Find XYZ’s Total Asset Turnover ratio. (Enter answer as a ratio – that is, do not convert to a percent).
Solution :
13. Net income = total assets x ROA
= $ 1,000,000 x 12%
= $ 120,000
Net Income for company is $120,000.
Net Profit margin = 4.25%
Total sales = net income / net profit margin
= $ 120,000 / 4.25%
= $ 2,823,529
Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529
14. Debt ratio = 72%
So weight of debt = 72%
Weight of equity = 1 - 72%
= 28%
Debt equity ratio [tex]$=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$[/tex]
= 2.57
Debt equity ratio is 2.57
15. Debt ratio = 42.50%
So, weight of debt = 42.50%
Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%
= 57.50%
Weight of equity is 57.50%.
Return on equity = 15%.
Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%
= 8.625%
Return on assets is 8.625%.
16.
Debt Equity ratio = 1.45
Weight of debt = 59.18%
Weight of equity = 40.82%
Return on assets = 16%
Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%
= 39.20%
Return on equity is 39.20%.
17.
Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets
= (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)
= ROA / Net Profit margin
= 7.50% / 15%
= 0.50
Total Assets turnover is 0.50.

A bond has a modified duration of 8 and a price of 112,955 calculated using an annual effective interest rate of 6.4%. EMAC is the estimated price of this bond at an interest rate of 7.0% using the first-order Macaulay approximation EMOD is the estimated price of this bond at an interest rate of 7.0% using the first-order modified approximation Calculate EC EMOD A. 91 B. 102 C. 116 D. 127 E. 143
Answer:
Option E (143) is the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
According to the question,
The modified duration will be:
= [tex]\frac{Macaulay \ duration}{(1+yield)}[/tex]
= [tex]8\times 1.064[/tex]
= [tex]8.512[/tex]
The percentage change in price will be:
= [tex]-0.6\times 8 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]-4.8[/tex] (%)
Now,
The EMOD will be:
= [tex]112955\times (1-4.8 \ percent)[/tex]
= [tex]107533.2[/tex] ($)
Or,
The EMAC will be:
= [tex]112955\times (\frac{1.064}{1.07} )^{8.512}[/tex]
= [tex]107675.7[/tex] ($)
Hence,
⇒ [tex]EMOD-EMAC=107533.2-107675.7[/tex]
[tex]=-142.5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]EMAC-EMOD=143[/tex]

(a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio Contribution margin in dollars 5 Contribution margin per unit $ Contribution margin ratio %
Answer:
a) We have:
Total contribution margin in dollars = $24,180
Per unit contribution margin = $39
Contribution margin ratio = 30%
b) We have:
Break-even point in dollars = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = 420 units
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as its part b is missing. The part b of the question is therefore provided to complete it before answering it as follows:
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio
Average price = $130
Variable costs = Average price * 70% = $130 * 70% = $91
Total sales = Number of clients * Average price = 620 * $130 = $80,600
Total variable cost = Total sales * 70% = $80,600 * 70% = $56,420
Therefore, we have:
Total contribution margin in dollars = Total sales - Total variable cost = $80,600 - $56,420 = $24,180
Per unit contribution margin = Average price - Variable costs = $130 - $91 = $39
Contribution margin ratio = (Total contribution margin in dollars / Total sales) * 100 = ($24,180 / $80,600) * 100 = 30%
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
Break-even point in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $16,380 / 30% = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = Fixed cost / Per unit contribution margin = $16,380 / $39 = 420 units
If the price of a good increases, _____________. The demand curve _________________ . If the number of buyers in the market increases, ________________. The demand curve ____________.
Answer:
1. Quantity demanded decreases
2. Shift to the left
3. Quantity demanded increases
4. Shift to the right
Explanation:
If the price of a good increases, QUANTITY DEMANDED DECREASES, The demand curve SHIFT TO THE LEFT.
If the number of buyers in the market increases, QUANTITY DEMANDED INCREASES. The demand curve SHIFT TO THE RIGHT.
This is based on the law of demand which states under normal circumstances, the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded, and the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded.
A demand curve moves to the right when there is an increase in quantity demanded, while the demand curve also moves to the left when there is a decrease in quantity demanded.
The privately-owned school system in Smalltown has a virtually unlimited capacity. It accepts all applicants and operates on both tuition and private donations. Although every resident places value on having an educated community, the school's revenues have suffered lately due to a large decline in private donations from the elderly population. Since the benefit that each citizen receives from having an educated community is a public good, which of the following would not be correct?
a. The free-rider problem causes the private market to undersupply education to the community
b. The govemment can potentially help the market reach a socially optimal level of education.
c. A tax increase to pay for education could potentially make the community better off.
d. The private market is the best way to supply education.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The privately-owned school system in Smalltown generates positive externality to members of SmalltownA good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
The free rider problem is a form of market failure. It occurs when people benefit from a good or service of communal nature and do not pay to enjoy these services.
The free rider has caused a decline in revenues and did not cause the private market to undersupply education to the community
