Strack Houseware Supplies Inc. has $889 million in total assets. The other side of its balance sheet consists of $142.24 million in current liabilities, $257.81 million in long-term debt, and $488.95 million in common equity. The company has 29,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $88 per share. What is Strack's market-to-book ratio

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above information,

Market value = Common stock outstanding × Stock price

Market value = 29,400,000 × $88

Market value = $2,587,200,000

Common equity = $488.95 million

Then,

Market to book ratio = $2,587,200,000 / $488,095,000

Market to book ratio = 5.30

Therefore, Strack's market to book ratio is 5.30

A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of non-defective items produced per worker (output).

Required:
a. Carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question.
b. Does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent ofworker characteristics? What are some of those measurable and unmeasurable workercharacteristics?
c. Name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity.
d. If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you haveconvincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.

Answers

Solution :

a). There is a way to state the question :

If there are two firms, firm A and firm B. Both the forms are same in all the respects but differ in only one thing, that firm A provides job training 1 hour per worker more than the number of hours of training of firm B, by how much the output of firm A would differ than the output from firm B?

b). The manufacturing firms that are located in Ohio will provide the job training based on the characteristics of workers. Some of the determining factors includes years of schooling, experience in a particular job, etc. The firms can even consider the worker's age, race or gender. The training will be provided to the less efficient workers based on their ability.

c). The amount of the capital as well as the technology that is available to the workers would affect the output of the firm. Thus the firms having the same kind of employees would have different outputs when the firms used different technology or different amount of capital.

d). No, unless the training is randomly assigned. The factors are listed above which can contribute to the finding of a positive correlation between the output and the training even when the job training does not improve the productivity of the worker.

If a firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from :___________

a. declining interest rates.
b. rising interest rates.
c. inflation.
d. changes in hedging activities.

Answers

Answer:

b. rising interest rates.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.

Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.

Generally, if a business firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from rising interest rates.

Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies

Answers

Answer:

Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.

Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.

We use the appraised values to apportion the Purchase Cost of the Property to determine the Cost of Land as follows :

Land Cost = $46,600 / $125,000 x $100,000

You are given the following data Stock A Expected return 8.00% Standard deviation 23.00% Stock B Expected return 7.50% Standard deviation 33.00% The correlation of Stock A and Stock B is 0.05. What is the variance of risky portfolio P with 43% in Stock A and the rest in Stock B

Answers

Answer:

Variance of risky portfolio P = 4.61%

Explanation:

WA = Weight of stock A = 43%, or 0.43

WB = Weight of stock B = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57

SA = Standard deviation of stock A = 23%, or 0.23

SB = Standard deviation of stock B = 33%, or 0.33

Cab = Correlation of Stock A and Stock B = 0.05

Therefore, we have:

Variance of risky portfolio P = (WA^2 * SA^2) + (WB^2 * SB^2) + (WA * SA * WB * SB * Cab) = (0.43^2 * 0.23^2) + (0.57^2 * 0.33^2) + (0.43 * 0.23 * 0.57 * 0.33 * 0.05) = 0.0461, or 4.61%

g A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income: Group of answer choices will be risk neutral will be risk averse will be risk loving

Answers

Answer: Risk averse

Explanation:

A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income will derive less utility from income as income increases. A risk averse person is one who would rather avoid risk but still prefers a high income.

Such a person will have a diminishing marginal utility in income because income increases more when there is more risk. A risk averse person does not want that risk and so will go for a lower income which means that they don't want more income as it is riskier to them.

You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:

Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years

a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1

5.737126344%

Explanation:

to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61

I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2

The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000

$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]

$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000

500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}

1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}

[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x

x = 5.737126344%

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)

Answers

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4

1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000

4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10

1000 / 0.1 = 10,000

25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000

$

Answers

Answer:

2190 ; 2560 ;

$778.2

Explanation:

Total worth of gasoline sold = 16003.50

Cost of regular = 3.30

Cost of premium = 3.45

Let :

premium Gallon sold = x

Regular gallon sold = 370 + x

Hence, mathematically;

(3.45*x) + (3.30 * (x + 370)) = 16003.50

3.45x + 3.30x + 1221 = 16003.50

6.75x = 16003.50 - 1221

6.75x = 14782.5

x = 14782.5 / 6.75

x = 2190

Premium Gallon sold = 2190 gallons

Regular gallon sold = 2190 + 370 = 2560 gallons

Profit per regular gallon sold = $0.15

Progit per premium Gallon sold = $0.18

Total profit = (2190 * 0.18) + (2560 * 0.15) = $778.2

This morning you purchased one share of stock for $14. The stock pays $.20 per share each quarter as a dividend. What must the stock price be one year from now if you want to earn a total return of 12 percent for the year

Answers

Answer:

$14.88

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price is given below:

A total return of 12% means that

= 0.12 × 14

= $1.68 in a year.

Now  

The total dividend payments for 4 quarters is

= 0.2 × 4

= $0.8.

Now the price of the stock should increase by

= 1.68 - 0.8

= 0.88

So the stock price one year from now is

= 14 + 0.88

= $14.88

You can use excel to solve for this.

Number of periods = 30

Coupon = Payment = 8% * 100 = $8

PV = $137.11

FV = $100 par value

Do this and the YTM would be: 5.46%

This makes sense because the bond is trading at a premium which means that the YTM is less than the coupon rate.
