A zero coupon bond pays no interest-only it face value of $1,000 at maturity. One such bond has a maturity of 18 years and an initial price of $130. What annual interest rate is earned if the bond is bought when issued and held to maturity?
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
FV = PV*(1+i)^n
FV = 1000, PV = 130, i = annual interest rate, n = 18
∴ 1000 = 130*(1+i)^18
==> (1+i)^18 = 1000/130
==> 1+i = (1000/13)^(1/18)
i = 1.12001895 - 1
i = 0.12
i = 12%
Thus, the annual interest rate is 12%

4. JEF Inc. just paid a $1.30 dividend, and it is expected to grow at 40% for the next 3 years. After 3 years the dividend is expected to grow at the rate of 7% indefinitely. If the required return is 12.7%, what is the stock's value today
Answer:
The stock's value today is $53.33
Explanation:
The value of a stock can be calculated by determining the present value of associated cash flows
First, we need to calculate the expected dividend each year
Year ______ Dividend
1__________$1.30 x ( 1 + 40% ) = $1.8200
2__________$1.82 x ( 1 + 40% ) = $2.5480
3__________$2.548 x ( 1 + 40% ) = $3.5672
4__________$3.5672 x ( 1 + 7% ) = $3.8169
Now calculate the present value of the dividends
Year ______ Present value
1__________$1.8200 x ( 1 + 12.7% )^-1 = $2.0511
2__________$2.5480 x ( 1 + 12.7% )^-2 = $2.0061
3__________$3.5672 x ( 1 + 12.7% )^-3 = $2.4920
4__________[ $3.8169 / ( 12.7% - 7% ) ] x ( 1 + 12.7% )^-3 = $46.7804
Hence,
Value of Stock = $2.0511 + $2.0061 + $2.4920 + $46.7804 = $53.3296 = $53.33

The value of a p value. In a critical commentary on the use of significance testing, Lambdin (2012) explained, "If a p < .05 result is ‘significant,’ then a p = .067 result is not ‘marginally significant’" (p. 76). Explain what the author is referring to in terms of the two decisions that a researcher can make.
Answer:
The author is referring to the acceptance or rejection of the null hypothesis because of significance testing.
Explanation:
In significance testing, if the result is statistically significant with p < 0.05, the conclusion is that it is not probably caused by chance. Since statistical significance indicates a strong evidence against the null hypothesis, the null hypothesis is rejected by the researcher, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. But, if the p = 0.67, the result is said to be not marginally significant, and the null hypothesis is not rejected. These two conclusions mean that the researcher's rejection or acceptance of a null hypothesis is decided by a thin margin, and this is why wrong conclusions can be made at times.
Long-term corporate bond have had a historical average return of 6.4% and a standard deviation of 8.4% over this same time period. What is the range of returns that you would expect to experience 68% of the time for long-term corporate bonds?
Answer:
The range will be "-2.0% to 14.8%". A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
According to the question,
For 68%, the range seems to be +/- 1 standard deviation of the mean. So that the upper as well as the lower range will be:
Upper range,
= [tex]6.4 - 8.4[/tex]
= [tex]-2.0[/tex] (%)
Lower range,
= [tex]6.4 + 8.4[/tex]
= [tex]14.8[/tex] (%)
So that the range would be between "-2.0% to 14.8%".

That is they operate independently.
The organisation achieves its set goals through independent efforts of its departments.
In the given scenario the divisions produce completely different products but must seek funding from head office for capital expansion.
This is a form of pooled interdependence
A company issues $16200000, 5.8%, 20-year bonds to yield 6% on January 1, 2020. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. The proceeds from the bonds are $15825541. Using effective-interest amortization, how much interest expense will be recognized in 2020?
Answer:
The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Bond value = $16200000
Bond interest rate = 5.8%
Proceed from bond = $15825541
Yield rate = 6%
The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 can now be calculated as follows:
Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 = Proceed from bond * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = $15825541 * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,766.23
Discount amortized during first 6 months = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 - (Bond value * Bond interest rate * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - ($16200000 * 5.8% * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - 469,800 = $4,966.23
Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = (Proceed from bond + Discount amortized during first 6 months) * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = ($15825541 + $4,966.23) * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,915.22
Interest expense to be recognized in 2020 = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 + Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = $474,766.23 + $474,915.22 = $949,681.45
Therefore, the amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.
Keyser Materials has 8 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 102 percent of par. What is the current yield
Answer: 1020
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Face value of bond = 1000
Coupon = 8%
Therefore, PMT = 8% × 1000/2 = 40
Years to maturity = 19
Since semiannual payments are made,
Nper = 19 × 2 = 38
Current price = PV
= 102% × 1000
= 1.02 × 1000
= 1020
1. Current Yield = Coupon/Current prce
= (2*40)/1020 = 7.84%
On February 1, 2020, Bramble Corp. purchased a parcel of land as a factory site for $315000. An old building on the property was demolished, and construction began on a new building which was completed on November 1, 2020. Costs incurred during this period are listed below: Demolition of old building $ 22000 Architect's fees 35400 Legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract 5600 Construction costs 1401000 (Salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold for $10000.) Bramble should record the cost of the land and new building, respectively, as
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the land and the new building is as follows
For land
= Purchase value + demolition of old building + legal fees - salvage materials
= $315,000 + $22,000 + $5,600 - $10,000
= $332,600
And, for building it is
= Architect fees + construction cost
= $35,400 + $1,401,000
= $1,436,400
Hence, the same is to be considered

Hull Company reported the following income statement information for the current year: Sales $ 413,000 Cost of goods sold: Beginning inventory $ 136,500 Cost of goods purchased 276,000 Cost of goods available for sale 412,500 Ending inventory 147,000 Cost of goods sold 265,500 Gross profit $ 147,500 The beginning inventory balance is correct. However, the ending inventory figure was overstated by $23,000. Given this information, the correct gross profit would be:
Answer: $124,500
Explanation:
If Ending Inventory was overstated by $23,000, this means that Cost of Goods was understated by $23,000.
Actual Cost of Goods sold = 265,500 + 23,000
= $288,500
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods
= 413,000 - 288,000
= $124,500
Lightsey Natural Dying Corporation measures its activity in terms of skeins of yarn dyed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 14,800 skeins and the actual level of activity was 15,100 skeins. The company's owner budgets for dye costs, a variable cost, at $0.51 per skein. The actual dye cost last month was $8,660. What would have been the spending variance (purchase price variance) for dye costs
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $966.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual level of activity was 15,100 skeins.
Standard cost= $0.51 per skein.
The actual dye cost last month was $8,660.
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 8,660 / 15,100= $0.574
Direct material price variance= (0.51 - 0.574)*15,100
Direct material price variance= $966.4 unfavorable
g Suppose the working-age population of a fictional economy falls into the following categories: 30 are retired; 45 are stay-at-home parents; 120 are employed full time; 40 are employed part time; 25 are unemployed but are actively looking for employment; 15 are unemployed and are not actively looking for employment. The official unemployment rate as calculated by the BLS would be
Answer: 13.5%
Explanation:
The Unemployment rate takes into account those who are of working age and willing to and actively seeking work.
Total labor force = 120 + 40 + 25 = 185
Unemployed = 25 people
Unemployment rate = 25/185
= 13.5%
Luker Corporation uses a process costing system. The company had $162,500 of beginning Finished Goods Inventory on October 1. It transferred in $839,000 of units completed during the period. The ending Finished Goods Inventory balance on October 31 was $160,200. The entry to account for the cost of goods sold in October is:
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry for cost of goods sold is as follows:
Cost of goods sold Dr $841,300
To Finished goods inventory $841,300
(Being the cost of goods sold is recorded)
The value of cost of goods sold is
= $162,500 + $839,000 - $160,200
= $841,300
Here the cost of goods sold is debited as it increased the expense while the finished goods inventory is credited as it decreased the assets
The information technology department is frustrated because they are constantly training one group on the same issue. The department manager reports it is the ________ to learn the system and not expect repetitive training. Group of answer choices
Answer:
users' responsibility.
Explanation:
Training is the process in which employers provides employees with specific, identifiable knowledge and skills for use in their present jobs.
Generally, organizations should ensure they continually train their employees in different areas (skills) so they don't lag behind and to close the gap between rapid technological innovation.
Also, an instructional design process can be defined as a strategic model which typically involves determining the needs of the employees (learners or trainees) for the development of learning goals, objectives, experiences and the design and organization of assessments in order to enhance the quality of information and instructions.
In this scenario, the information technology department is frustrated because they are constantly training one group on the same issue. The department manager reports it is the users' responsibility to learn the system and not expect repetitive training.
This ultimately implies that, once an employee has undergone a training sponsored by his or her employer, it is very important that he or she devotes more time to learning to perfection rather than being trained on the same skill over and over again.

The stock price of Bravo Corp. is currently $100. The stock price a year from now will be either $160 or $60 with equal probabilities. The interest rate at which investors invest in riskless assets is 6%. Using the binomial OPM, the value of a put option with an exercise price of $135 and an expiration date 1 year from now should be worth __________ today.
Answer:
$38.21
Explanation:
The computation of the value of put option is shown below;
Hedge ratio is
= (Pay off in case price appreciates - Pay off in case of price depreciates) ÷ (Appreciated price - Depreciated price)
= (Max[$135 - $160, $0] - Max[$135 - $60, $0]) ÷ ($160 - $60)
= ($0 - $75) / $100
= -0.75
Now, Price of Put option is
= -Hedge ratio × {Appreciated price ÷ (1 + risk free rate) - Present stock price}
= -(-0.75) × {$160 ÷ (1 + 6%) - $100}
= $38.21
Vilas Company is considering a capital investment of $190,000 in additional productive facilities. The new machinery is expected to have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Depreciation is by the straight-line method. During the life of the investment, annual net income and net annual cash flows are expected to be $12,000 and $50,000, respectively. Vilas has a 12% cost of capital rate, which is the required rate of return on the investment.
Answer:
a. 3.8 years
b. 12.63%
c. -$9,761.19
Explanation:
a. Cash Payback period.
The amount of time it would take for cash inflows to offset the initial outflow (investment).
= Investment/ Annual inflow
= 190,000 / 50,000
= 3.8 years
b. Annual income / Average Assets
= 12,000 / ( (190,000 + 0) / 2)
= 12.63%
c. Annual inflow is $50,000 for 5 years. Net present value is the present value of inflows less investment
Present value of inflows = 50,000 * (1 - ( 1 + 12%)⁻⁵ / 12%)
= $180,238.81
Net Present Value = 180,238.81 - 190,000
= -$9,761.19
a. Calculating the Cash Payback period:
Cash Payback period refers to the amount of time it would take for cash inflows to offset the initial outflow
Cash Payback period = Investment/ Annual inflow
Cash Payback period = 190,000 / 50,000
Cash Payback period = 3.8 years
b. Calculating the annual rate of return on the proposed capital expenditure:
Annual rate of return = Annual income / Average Assets
Annual rate of return = $12,000 / (($190,000 + 0) / 2)
Annual rate of return = $12,000 / $95,000
Annual rate of return = 0.126315789
Annual rate of return = 12.63%
c. Annual inflow is $50,000 for 5 years.
Net present value is the present value of inflows less investment
Present value of inflows = Annual inflow * (1 - (1 + i)^-n / i)
Present value of inflows = $50,000 * (1 - (1 + 12%)^-5 / 12%)
Present value of inflows = $180,238.81
Net Present Value = Present value of inflows - initial outflow
Net Present Value = 180,238.81 - 190,000
Net Present Value = -$9,761.19

Suppose that a monopoly computer chip maker increases production from 10 microchips to 11 microchips. If the market price declines from $30 per unit to $29 per unit, marginal revenue for the eleventh unit is:
Answer:
$19
Explanation:
Marginal revenue is the change in revenue when production increases by one unit
Marginal revenue = change in total revenue / change in quantity produced
total revenue 1 = $30 x 10 = $300
Total revenue 2 = $29 x 11 = $319
change in total revenue = $319 - $3000 = $19
Change in quantity produced = 11 - 10 = 1
Marginal revenue = $19 / 1 = 19
Stockholders' Equity of Riverwild Corporation consists of 50,000 shares of $8 par value, 5% cumulative preferred stock and 400,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Both classes of stock have been outstanding since the company's inception. Riverwild's Board of Directors did not declare any dividends last year, but now it declares and pays a $200,000 dividend at year-end. Required: A. Determine the total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year (not the per share amount). B. Determine the total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year (not the per share amount).
Answer:
a. $20,000
b. $180,000
Explanation:
Par value per preferred share = $8
Dividend rate = 5%
Dividend per preferred share = $8 * 5% = $0.40
Number of preferred shares = 50,000
a. Total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year = 50,000 shares * $0.40 = $20,000
b. The total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000
Snoopy, Inc. records its bad debt expense on the credit sales method. Total sales during 2020 were $1,500,000, which consisted of $300,000 of cash sales and the remainder were credit sales. Snoopy's estimation is that 3% of net sales would be uncollectible. During the year, Snoopy wrote off $100,000 of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts amount is $50,000. What is the amount of bad debt expense for 2020
Answer:
the amount of bad debt expense for the year 2020 is $36,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of bad debt expense is shown below:
= Estimation of 3% net sales that would be uncollectible
= 3% of ($1,500,000 - $300,000)
= 3% of $1,200,000
= $36,000
Hence, the amount of bad debt expense for the year 2020 is $36,000

Jackson's Home Cookin just paid its annual dividend of $0.65 a share. The stock has a market price of $13.00 and a beta of 1.12. The return on US Treasury bills is 2.5% and the market risk premium is 6.8%. What is the firm's cost of equity
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
The firm cost of equity is the return that is required by providers of Common Stock. This can be calculated in two ways. The first option is to use the Dividend Growth Model and the other option is to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
The information given in the question is not sufficient to use the Dividend Growth Model since we have not been told the growth percentage in dividends.
We will thus use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as follows :
Cost of Equity = Return of Risk free Securities + Beta × Market Risk Premium
Therefore,
Cost of Equity = 2.5% + 1.12 × 6.8%
= 10%
Boris, Inc. sells a single product for $900 per unit, including a 90-day warranty against defects. It is estimated that 3% of the units sold will prove defective and require an average repair cost of $70 per unit. During July, 800 units were sold. Five of them were reported defective and repaired in July. What amount should be added to the Estimated Liability for Product Warranties for July
Answer:
the amount that added to estimated liability is $1,330
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that added to estimated liability is as follows
= 800 units sold × 3% defective - five defective units
= 24 units - 5 units
= 19 units
Now the amount that should be added is
= 19 units × $70 per unit
= $1,330
Hence, the amount that added to estimated liability is $1,330
The same is to be considered
The total amount which is to be added to the total estimated repairs for Boris Inc. will be $1330. This amount is calculated as per the instructions given in the query.
Boris sold 800 units of a product so it did sales of $7,20,000 as the cost per unit was $900. It has also been provided that the total amount to be calculated will be 3% of the total sales for the month of July.
The calculation further becomes simpler as there would be 3% defective products out the 800 units sold. This can be illustrated as below[tex]3=\frac{x}{800} * 100[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2400}{100}[/tex]
[tex]x=24[/tex]
Therefore we know that 24 units will turn out to be defective. So, the total expected liability also known as the contingent liability of Boris Inc. will be as under[tex](24-5 )* 70= 1330[/tex]
Here we have deducted the cost of 5 units in the calculation as 5 units have already been detected as defective and their liability has occurred. So, only 19 units are multiplied by the cost of repair of such products.Hence, Boris Inc. will have to ascertain that their estimated contingent liability is $1330 after multiplying the 3% of units sold with the cost of repair.

On January 1, Year 1, Missouri Co. purchased a truck that cost $32,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 10 years and a $3,000 salvage value. Missouri uses the double declining-balance method. What is the amount of depreciation expense recognized in Year 2?
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,640
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $32,000
Useful life= 10 years
Salvage value= $3,000
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula each year:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(32,000 - 3,000) / 10]
Annual depreciation= $5,800
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(29,000 - 5,800)/10]
Annual depreciation= $4,640
An analyst gathers the following information about Meyer, Inc.: Meyer has 1,000 shares of 8% cumulative preferred stock outstanding, with a par value of $100 and liquidation value of $110. Meyer has 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding, with a par value of $20. Meyer had retained earnings at the beginning of the year of $5,000,000. Net income for the year was $70,000. This year, for the first time in its history, Meyer paid no dividends on preferred or common stock. a. Calculate the total book value of Meyer's common stock. b. What is the book value per share of Meyer's common stock
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. Total book value is
= Equity par value + retained earnings + net income
= 20,000 shares × $20 + $5,000,000 + $70,000
= $5,470,000
b. The book value per share is
= Equity book value ÷ number of shares
= $5,470,000 ÷ 20,000shares
= $273.50
Hence, the total book value and book value per share is $5,470,000 and $273.50 respectively
