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%

Answers

Answer 1

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%

An auto manufacturer uses 500 tons of steel per day. The company pays $1100 per ton of steel purchased, and each order incurs a fixed cost of $2250. The holding cost is $275 per ton of steel per year. Using the EOQ model, calculate the optimal order quantity, cycle length, and average cost per year

Answers

Answer:

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD/H)

D = annual demand = I will assume that the company works during 250 days per year (from Monday to Friday) = 250 x 500 = 125,000

S = order cost = $2,250

H = holding cost = $275

EOQ = √[(2 x 2,250 x 125,000) / 275] = 1,430.19 ≈ 1,430 tons

cycle length:

125,000 / 1,430 = 87.4 purchases per year

365 days / 87.4 = place a purchase order every 4.2 days

total annual cost:

total costs = (87.4 x $2,250) + (125,000 x $1,100) + (1,430/2 x $275) = $196,650 + $137,500,000 + $196,625 = $137,893,275

The Unique Bookshelf Company is considering the purchase of a custom delivery van costing approximately $50,000. Using a discount rate of 20%, the present value of future cost savings is estimated at $51,200. To yield the 20% return, the actual cost of the van should not exceed the $50,000 estimate by more than:

Answers

Answer:

$1,200

Explanation:

Given that

Purchase of a customer delivery van = $50,000

discount rate = 20%

Present value of future cost savings = $51,200

Yield = 20%

Based on the above information, as per the net present value the initial cost of the equipment should not be more than the present value of cash inflows  i.e. $51,200

So the more than amount is

= $51,200 - $50,000

= $1,200

The present value is the monetary value of the future cash inflows or outflows. It is determined based upon the differences in the discount rates in the future that is estimated as per the current growth rates.

If the company wants to yield a 20% return then the actual cost must not be estimated at more than $1,200.

Computation:

GIven,

Purchase cost =$50,000

Discount rate and yield rate =20%

Present value of future cost savings =$51,200

[tex]\rm{Exceeding\; Amount}=Present\;Value-Purchase\;Cost\\\\=\$51,200-\$50,000\\\\=\$1,200[/tex]

As per the net present value of the van, the initial cost that is the purchase price of the van should not be more than the present value of the future cost savings or the present value of the future cash inflows.

In this case, the present value of $50,000 cannot exceed this limit.

Therefore, in this case, the exceeding amount is $1,200.

The manufacturing overhead budget at Franklyn Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 3,000 direct labor-hours will be required in January. The variable overhead rate is $5 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,140 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,620. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:_______.
a. $54,520.
b. $58,140.
c. $39,520.
d. $15,000.

Answers

Answer:

Total cash disbursement= $54,520

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The direct labor budget indicates that 3,000 direct labor-hours

The variable overhead rate is $5 per direct labor-hour.

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,140 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,620.

The depreciation expense is not a cash disbursement.

Cash disbursement:

Total variable manufacturing overhead= 5*3,000= 15,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead= 43,140 - 3,620= 39,520

Total cash disbursement= $54,520

Answer: D) 16.22

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio = Market Value per share / Earnings per share

Earnings Per Share

Answers

Answer:

9.6%

Explanation:

Tennill incorporation has an investment of $1,400,000

Sales is $4,480,000

Fixed expenses is $1,657,600

The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio

= 40/100×4,480,000

= 0.4×4,480,000

= 1,792,000

The variable cost can be calculated as follows

=Sales-CM

= 4,480,000-1,792,000

= 2,688,000

Net profit = Sales-Fixed cost-Variable cost

= 4,480,000-(1,657,600+2,688,000)

= 4,480,000-4,345,600

= 134,400

Therefore the ROI can be calculated as follows

= Net profit/investment × 100

= 134,400/1,400,000 × 100

=0.096×100

= 9.6%

Hence the return on investment for this year's investment opportunity considered alone is closest to 9.6%

In other words, each stage of the supply chain must operate in an integrated manner, so that each process is synergistic and so that the final consumer can receive the product at the right time, in the right quantity and in the right quality. Therefore, supply chain management will improve each step of the process, guaranteeing the quality of the processes, the reduction of time, the reduction of costs and waste and ensuring the continuous improvement of the process, which will make the product go through each channel effectively, generating value and strengthening the relationship between the company and the consumer.

List the five ways that contractual obligations may come to an end.

Answers

Answer:

1. Fulfillment of the contractual obligations by both parties.

2. Deliberate breach of contractual terms.

3. Prior written agreement to terminate the contract at a certain time.

4.When the contractual obligations are impossible to perform by a party

5. When a party discovers fraudulent activities or deceit within the contract.

Explanation:

1. The first way that a contractual obligation can come to an end is once they have been fulfilled by both parties. Once this happens, both parties are free from the contract and no longer owe each other any other obligation.

2. Once a party begins to break the terms of the contractual agreement, this can be seen as a breach of contract. Once this happens, the other party is no longer obliged to fulfill his/her own obligations within the contract.

3. Some contracts have a written agreement that describes situations in which the contract would be terminated automatically. This could be during pre-agreed conditions such as a global economic melt-down or a pandemic. Once these conditions are present, both parties can now be free of contractual obligations.

4. Once it is noticed that the obligations are actually impossible to perform,  a party will definitely have to terminate the contract.

5. Once fraudulent activities are discovered within the terms of a contract by any party, the party is free to rescind the contract at any time. This could be lies, misinformation, and other misrepresentations of items within the contract.

What is the 20X0 inventory balance using dollar-value LIFO?
a. $65,000.
b. $61,904.
c. $122,727.
d. $135,000

Answers

Answer:

a. $65,000.

Explanation:

since the price index for year 20x0 is 1, then the inventory balance using dollar value LIFO = $65,000 / 1 = $65,000.

Dollar value LIFO works in cost layers, or pools of inventory.

E.g. the 20x1 inventory would be worth:

($126,000 / 1.05) = $120,000

($120,000 - $65,000) x 1.05 = $57,750

value of 20x1 inventory = $65,000 + $57,750 = $122,750

Which one of the following statements is correct? A) The lessor is primarily concerned with returning the asset at the end of the lease term without incurring any additional charges. B) The lessor is primarily concerned about the use of the asset. C) If a computer manufacturer leased computers it built to others, it would be engaging in leveraged leasing. D) A firm should always purchase, rather than lease, any asset that has a projected positive salvage value at the end of the relevant period of use. E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.

Answers

Answer: E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.

Explanation:

A Lease is a form of financing because in financing, an entity provides funding in the form of assets whether cash or otherwise to another entity to allow them use to operate their business. The entity that was provided with funding will then pay a periodic payment as a way to pay off the funding.

This is what happens in leases. The Lessor is the owner of the asset and they lease it to the Lessee who then uses it and pays a periodic amount to the Lessor for using the asset.

The ONE correct statement about lessors, lessees, and leasing, is E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.

A lease is a source of financing business activities. Returning or using the asset is not a concern of the lessor. The lessee and not the lessor engages in leveraged leasing. We cannot conclude that a firm should always purchase an asset with positive salvage value. Sometimes, a firm needs to lease its equipment or building.

Thus, the correct statement about lessors, lessees, and leasing, is Option E.

Requirement 1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that Collegiate Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that Collegiate Rings purchased last month is $

Answer:

Collegiate Rings

The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that Collegiate Rings purchased last month is $65.20

Explanation:

Calculations:

Actual Cost per gram of special alloy = Total Actual Cost/Total Actual Quantity

= 567,240/8,700 grams

= $65.2

This value represents the cost of the special alloy per gram.  It is obtained as calculated above.  Price or cost per unit is always equal to the actual cost divided by the total quantity.  The actual cost will be equal to the price charged by the supplier less any discounts or special allowances.

Achieving high product quality lowers operating costs because of the effect of quality on:___________.
a. shipping costs
b. employee productivity
c. corporate-level planning
d. customer satisfaction

Answers

Answer:

Option C, corporate-level planning, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option C, “corporate-level planning” is the correct answer because it is the corporate planning according to which every employee has to work. If the quality of planning is good then the firm will produce higher output with lower operating cost and if the planning is not good or suitable then the firm can increase the productivity but operating cost may go very high. Therefore, option C is right.

Using CPM, when activity times are not known with certainty, we still can determine how long it will actually take to complete the project.A. TrueB. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Corporate performance management (CPM) refers to the various methods including metrics, processes and systems that are used in the management of business performance.

When determining how long it will take to complete a project, CPM assumes that the Activity times estimated are known with certainty. If this is not the case then under CPM, we cannot determine how long it will actually take to complete a project.

Palmer Company has $5,000,000 of 15-year maturity bonds outstanding. Each bond has a maturity value of $1,000, an annual coupon of 12.0%. The bonds can be called at any time with a premium of $50 per bond. If the bonds are called, the company must pay flotation costs of $10 per new refunding bond. Ignore tax considerations ⎯assume that the firm's tax rate is zero.The company's decision of whether to call the bonds depends critically on the current interest rate on newly issued bonds. What is the breakeven interest rate, the rate below which it would be profitable to call in the bonds?

Answers

Answer:

11.6%

Explanation:

the total cost of calling the bonds = ($50 + $10) x ($5,000,000 / $1,000) = $300,000

the bonds' coupon payment = $5,000,000 x 12% = $600,000

the company should call the bonds only if it is profitable, and the savings are equal or higher than the costs

cost of calling the bonds ≤ number of years x (coupon - rate) x total bonds

$300,000 = 15 x [$600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)]

$300,000 / 15 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)

$20,000 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)

rate x $5,000,000 = $580,000

rate = $580,000 / $5,000,000 = 0.116 = 11.6%

Retain the small predictable layers of risk and transfer the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk. Does this statement promote appropriate risk financing decision making

Answers

Answer:

Yes the statement does

Explanation:

Retaining small predictable layers of risk and transferring the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk to a more capable body is a very good approach towards  promoting appropriate risk financing decision making, this is because

Financial risk decisions are decisions taken between alternatives i.e risks associated with business activities . it is more appropriate to take alternatives with a predictable layer of risk,that way it would be easier for the management to handle the risk associated with it, while transferring the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk to a more capable body ,like the Insurance companies .

The total market value of General Motors​ (GM) is​ $10 billion. GM has a market value of $7 billion of equity and a face value of $12 billion of debt. What are the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the​ WACC? A. 0.7​, 0.3 B. 0.3​, 0.7 C. 0.35​, 0.65 D. cannot be determined

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The market value of equity and debt are used in calculating the weights when determining WACC

Total market value = market value of debt + market value of equity

$10 billion = 7 billion +  market value of debt

market value of debt = $3 billion

weight of debt = $3 billion / $10 billion =0.3

weight of equity = $7 billion / $10 billion = 0.7

Compute the following:
1) current ratio, (2) acid-test ratio, (3) days' sales uncollected, (4) inventory turnover, (5) days' sales in inventory, (6) debt-to-equity ratio, (7) times interest earned, (8) profit margin ratio, (9) total asset turnover, (10) return on total assets, and (11) return on common stockholders' equity.

Answers

Answer:

1) current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = $100,900 / $26,200 = 3.85

(2) acid-test ratio =  (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = $58,750 / $26,200 = 2.24

(3) days' sales uncollected = (average accounts receivable / net credit sales) x 365 days =  ($32,600 / $449,600) x 365 days = 26.47 days

(4) inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = $297,950 / $47,525 = 6.27

(5) days' sales in inventory = (average inventory / COGS) x 365 = ($47,525 / $297,950) x 365 = 58.22 days

(6) debt-to-equity ratio = debt / equity = $97,600 / $155,600 = 0.63

(7) times interest earned = EBIT / interest expenses = $52,850 / $4,000 = 13.21

(8) profit margin ratio = net income / total sales = $29,171 / $449,600 = 6.49%

(9) total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $449,600 / $221,600 = 2.03

(10) return on total assets =  EBIT / average total assets = $52,850 / $221,600 = 23.85%

(11) return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average equity = $29,171 / $141,014.50 = 20.69%

     Acid Test Ratio = $58,750 / $26,200

     Acid Test Ratio =$2.24

(3) Days' Sales Uncollected = (Average Accounts Receivable / Net Credit    Sales) x 365 days

    Days' Sales Uncollected = ($32,600 / $449,600) x 365 days

    Day's Sales Uncollected = 26.47 days

(4) Inventory Turnover = COGS / Average Inventory

    Inventory Turnover = $297,950 / $47,525

    Inventory Turnover = $ 6.27

(5) Days' Sales in Inventory = (Average Inventory / COGS) x 365

    Days' Sales Inventory  = ($47,525 / $297,950) x 365

    Days' Sales Inventory =  58.22 days

(6) Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Debt / Equity

    Debt to Equity Ratio= $97,600 / $155,600

    Debt to Equity Ratio = $ 0.63

(7) Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest Expenses

    Times Interest Earned= $52,850 / $4,000

     Times Interest Earned= $ 13.21

(8) Profit Margin Ratio = Net Income / Total Sales

    Profit Margin Ratio = $29,171 / $449,600

   Profit Margin Ratio= 6.49%

(9) Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Average Total Assets

    Total Asset Turnover = $449,600 / $221,600
