Answer:
Initial Cash Flow at Time 0 = -(Appraised Value of Land + Cost of Building Plant and Equipment + Net Working Capital)
Substituting values in the above formula, we get,
Initial Cash Flow at Time 0 = -(6,000,000 + 32,600,000 + 1,475,000) = -$40,075,000 (answer for Part a)
_____
Part b)
Step 1: Calculate Weights of Different Sources of Finance
Market Value of Debt = Number of Bonds*Par Value*Current Selling Price Percentage = 245,000*1,000*105% = $257,250,000
Market Value of Common Stock = Number of Shares*Current Selling Price = 9,500,000*73.10 = $694,450,000
Market Value of Preferred Stock = Number of Shares*Current Selling Price = 465,000*83 = $38,595,000
Total Market Value of Firm = Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Common Stock + Market Value of Preferred Stock = 257,250,000 + 694,450,000 + 38,595,000 = $990,295,000
Now, we can calculate weights as follows:
Weight of Debt = Market Value of Debt/Total Market Value of Firm = 257,250,000/990,295,000
Weight of Equity = Market Value of Equity/Total Market Value of Firm = 694,450,000/990,295,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = Market Value of Preferred Stock/Total Market Value of Firm = 38,595,000/990,295,000
_____
Step 2: Calculate After-Tax Cost of Debt
The after-tax cost of debt can be calculated with the use of Rate function/formula of EXCEL/Financial Calculator. The function/formula for Rate is Rate(Nper,PMT,-PV,FV) where Nper = Period, PMT = Payment (here, Coupon Payment), PV = Present Value (here, Current Selling Price) and FV = Future Value (here, Face Value of Bonds).
Here, Nper = 23*2 = 46, PMT = 1,000*6%*1/2 = $30, PV = 1,000*105% = $1,050 and FV = $1,000
Using these values in the above function/formula for Rate, we get,
Pre-Tax Cost of Debt = Rate(46,30,-1050,1000)*2 = 5.61%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = Pre-Tax Cost of Debt*(1-Tax Rate) = 5.61%*(1-22%) = 4.38%
______
Step 3: Calculate Cost of Preferred Stock
The cost of preferred stock is determined as below:
Cost of Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend/Current Stock Price*100 = (3.8%*100)/83*100 = 4.58%
______
Step 4: Calculate Cost of Equity
The cost of equity is arrived as below:
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta*(Market Risk Premium) = 2.9% + 1.2*(6%) = 10.10%
Calculate Discount Rate
The value of discount rate is calculated as follows:
Discount Rate = (Weight of Debt*After-Tax Cost of Debt + Weight of Preferred Stock*Cost of Preferred Stock + Weight of Equity*Cost of Equity) + Appropriate Risk Adjustment Factor
Substituting values in the above formula, we get,
Discount Rate = (257,250,000/990,295,000*4.38% + 38,595,000/990,295,000*4.58% + 694, 450,000/990,295,000*10.10%) + 1.5% = 9.90% (answer for Part b)
The after-tax salvage value of the plant is arrived as below:
Annual Depreciation = Cost of Plant and Equipment/Useful Life = 32,600,000/8 = $4,075,000
Book Value of Plant and Equipment After 5 Years = Cost of Plant and Equipment - Annual Depreciation*5 = 32,600,000 - 4,075,000*5 = $12,225,000
Loss on Sale of Plant and Equipment = Book Value of Plant and Equipment After 5 Years - Salvage Value = 12,225,000 - 5,200,000 = $7,025,000
After-Tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value + Loss on Sale of Plant and Equipment*Tax Rate = 5,200,000 + 7,025,000*22% = $6,745,500 (answer for Part c)
The annual operating cash flow (OCF) is determined as follows:
Sales Value (19,550*11,070) 216,418,500
Less Variable Costs (19,550*9,700) 189,635,000
Fixed Costs 7,500,000
Depreciation 4,075,000
EBT 15,208,500
Less Taxes 3,345,870
EAT 11,862,630
Add Depreciation 4,075,000
Operating Cash Flow $15,937,630
Answer for Part d) is $15,937,630.
The accounting break-even quantity is calculated as follows:
Accounting Break-Even Quantity = (Fixed Cost + Depreciation)/(Selling Price - Variable Cost)
Substituting values in the above formula, we get,
Accounting Break-Even Quantity = (7,500,000 + 4,075,000)/(11,070 - 9,700) = 8,449 units (answer for Part e)
IRR
IRR is the minimum rate of return acceptable from a project. It can be calculated with the use of IRR function/formula of EXCEL/Financial Calculator. The basic formula for calculating IRR is given below:
NPV = 0 = Cash Flow Year 0 + Cash Flow Year 1/(1+IRR)^1 + Cash Flow Year 2/(1+IRR)^2 + Cash Flow Year 3/(1+IRR)^3 + Cash Flow Year 4/(1+IRR)^4 + Cash Flow Year 5/(1+IRR)^5
IRR is calculated with the use of EXCEL as below:
Year Cash Flow 0 -40075000 15937630 15937630 15937630 15937630 30558130 33.16% 4 6 4 IRR 10
where
IRR = RR(B2:B7) = 33.16%
NPV
The NPV can be calculated with the use of following formula:
NPV = Cash Flow Year 0 + Cash Flow Year 1/(1+Discount Rate)^1 + Cash Flow Year 2/(1+Discount Rate)^2 + Cash Flow Year 3/(1+Discount Rate)^3 + Cash Flow Year 4/(1+Discount Rate)^4 + Cash Flow Year 5/(1+Discount Rate)^5
Substituting values in the above formula, we get,
NPV = -40,075,000 + 15,937,630/(1+9.90%)^1 + 15,937,630/(1+9.90%)^2 + 15,937,630/(1+9.90%)^3 + 15,937,630/(1+9.90%)^4 + (15,937,630 + 6,745,500 + 1,475,000 + 6,400,000)/(1+9.90%)^5 = $29,619,521.66

How much free cash flow does Outdoor expect for 2018?
Answer:
The correct option is A. $134,000.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as all the data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Outdoor Lighting Supply expects the following for 2018:
Net cash provided by operating activities of $284,000
Net cash provided by financing activities of $67,000
Net cash provided by investing activities of $76,000
Cash dividends paid to stockholders of $29,000
Outdoor expects to spend $150,000 to modernize its showroom.
How much free cash flow does Outdoor expect for 2018?
Select one:
A. $134,000
B. $112,000
C. $264,000
D. $105,000
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
Free cash flow (FCF) refers to the cash that is generated by a company through its operations minus capital expenditure such as cost of acquiring new assets as well as maintenance Capital expenditure and capital work in progress.
Therefore, free cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
FCF = NCO - Capital expenditure ..................................... (1)
Where, for Outdoor Lighting Supply;
FCF = Free cash flow = ?
NCO = Net cash provided by operating activities = $284,000
Capital expenditure = Amount expected to spend to modernize showroom = $150,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FCF = $284,000 - $150,000
FCF = 134,000
The amount of free cash flow Outdoor expects for 2018 is $134,000. Therefore, the correct option is A. $134,000.
1. Managed care has caused the U.S. health care system to:

A project is expected to generate annual revenues of $119,300, with variable costs of $75,400, and fixed costs of $15,900. The annual depreciation is $3,950 and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow?
Hint: Revenue - FC - VC - Depr. = EBIT. Taxes = EBIT x tax rate. OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes (same as chapter 2).
a. $61,143
b. $28,000
c. $19,823
d. $31,950
e. $45,243
Answer:
c. $19,823
Explanation:
For the computation of annual operating cash flow first we need to find out the EBIT and Tax which is shown below:-
EBIT = Revenue - Variable cost - Fixed cost - Depreciation
= $119,300 - $75,400 - $15,900 - $3,950
= $24,050
Tax = EBIT × Tax rate
= $24,050 × 34%
= $8,177
Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $24,050 + $3,950 - $8,177
= $19,823
Hence, the correct option is c.
The PW of five independent projects have been calculated at an MARR of 12% per year. Select the best combination at a capital investment limit of (a) $25,000, (b) $49,000, and (c) unlimited.
Initial Life,
Project Investment, Years PW,
S -15,000 6 8,540
A - 26,000 8 12,100
M -10,000 6 3,000
E 25,000 4 10
H -40,000 12 15350
Answer:
Project Investment Years PW,
S -15,000 6 8,540
A - 26,000 8 12,100
M -10,000 6 3,000
E 25,000 4 10
H -40,000 12 15350
I assume that the present worth of the projects is their net present value (NPV), so all the projects have a positive NPV. I believe that there is a mistake on project E since the initial outlay is generally negative, no one will pay you to start a project, although it is also the project with the lowest NPV.
a) If I had $25,000, I would invest in projects S and M which will increase my present wealth by $3,000 + $8,540 = $11,540. If something really strange happened and you would actually receive money for starting a project (project E), I would also take it even if its NPV is only $10, since I'm not spending money, instead I'm receiving money.
b) If I had $49,000, I would invest in projects S and A which will increase my present wealth by $8,540 + $12,100 = $20,640. Again, if something really strange happened and you would actually receive money for starting a project (project E), I would also take it.
c) If I had unlimited resources, I would invest in all the projects since they all have positive NPVs.
The owner of a variable annuity has all of the following rights EXCEPT the right to vote:_________
a. for the Board of Trustees
b. for dissolution of the trust

Given the following data, what is cost of goods sold as determined by the FIFO method?
Sales 280 units
Beginning inventory 250 units at $6 per unit
Purchases 128 units at $11 per unit
A. $3,080
B. $1,680
C. $2,320
D, $1,830
Answer:
The answer is D. $1,830
Explanation:
FIFO means First in First out.
It is one of the inventory methods along with LIFO(Last in First out), average weighted cost and specific identification.
FIFO literally means the inventory bought first will be the first to be sold. Leaving the last inventories bought as the ending inventory.
In this question, Cost of Sales according to FIFO is:
250 units x $6 = $1,500
30 units at $11 = $330
Total =. $1,830
Therefore, the cost of sales under this method is $1,830

A good rule for communicating with anyone in the workplace is to treat others as you want to be treated by them.
When communicating in writing, it is important to be focused, brief, and factually accurate or correct.
Explanation:
Martin Kissey, a busy executive, does not have time for beating about the bush. Therefore, it is important to communicate without wasting his time. Time is very precious for him. And courtesy demands that you do not waste this precious resource.
Oditexo likes to maintain eye to eye contact with the person she is conversing with because she has learned that it delivers a message about being honest. It shows that she is not hiding a skeleton in her cupboard. When you are dishonest, it is very difficult to maintain eye contact. It shows on your face.
Jane's supervisors may be friendly with her. But, Jane should not take it too seriously and allow informal mannerism to seep into communication with her supervisors. She should maintain a formal decorum. There is always time for everything.
I also understand that you want others to respect you and your time, and recognize that you have got your brief to take care of. Show them the same respect and recognition, while communicating within your workplace.
Conciseness is important in all written communications. Deliver the message succinctly without decorating the facts. Others will appreciate you for doing this. Do not allow verbosity to ruin your message.

On January 1, 1997, Brian’s stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 1997, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 1998, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the two-year time-weighted rate of return for Brian’s stock portfolio?
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
Time weighed rate can be calculated by using the formula below
TWR = [(1+HPR1)+(1+HPR2)+(1+HPR3) ...(1+HPRn)
TWR = [(1+HPR1)+(1+HPR2)+(1+HPR3) ...(1+HPRn)HPR = (End value - initial value)/end value
For HPR1:
End value = 110000
Initial value = 100000
(110000-100000)/100000
= 10000/100000
= 0.1
1 + 0.1 = 1.1
For HPR2
End value = 108000
Initial value = 105000
3000/105000
= 0.0286
1 + 0.0286
= 1.0286
For HPR3
End value = 100000
Initial value = 108000 + 3000 that was added to make it 111000
(100000-111000)/111000
= -0.0991
1-0.0991
= 0.9009
TWR = (1.1*1.0286*0.9009)-1
= 0.01933
0.0193 x 100
= 1.93%

A monopolist can sell 200 units of output for $36 per unit. Alternatively, it can sell 201 units of output for $35.80 per unit. The marginal revenue of the 201st unit of output is
Answer:
There is a negative marginal revenue from the sale of 201st units of - $4.2
Explanation:
The marginal revenue is the revenue of the additional unit of output sold. Thus, the marginal revenue is the revenue earned from the 201st unit of the output sold. To calculate the marginal revenue of the 201st unit, we will calculate the total revenue for 200 units and deduct it from the total revenue for 201 units.
Total revenue - 200 Units = 200 * 36 = $7200
Total revenue - 201 Units = 201 * 35.8 = $7195.8
Marginal revenue - 201st unit = 7195.8 - 7200 = - $4.2
There is a negative marginal revenue from the sale of 201st units of - $4.2

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $5,910,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $17,730,000 over the 20 years is:________ (round to two decimal points).
a. 30.00%
b. 60.00%
c. 1.50%
d. 15.00%
Answer:
Option A, 30.00%, is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The investment amount = $5910000
Useful life = 20 years
Residual value = 0
Expected net income = $17730000
Use the below formula to find the average rate of return by using the given values.
The average rate of return = Average Annual Net Income / Average investment
Now insert all the given values in the formula in order to compute the average rate of return.
[ ( 17730000 / 20 ) / ( 5910000 / 2 ) ] * 100
[ 886500 / 2955000 ] * 100 =30 %
Carlson Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $300,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $52,500. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. (a) What is the net present value of the project? Assume a discount rate of 9%. (b) How much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth in order for the project to be acceptable?
Answer:
a) initial outlay = -$300,000
net cash flows years 1 - 8 = $52,500
discount rate = 9%
using a financial calculator, NPV = -$9,422, this means that the project should be rejected
b) In order for the project to be accepted, its NPV ≥ 0, therefore, the reduction in downtime should be worth at least $9,422 (at present day dollars).
If we analyze it on a yearly basis, the reduction in downtime should be worth $9,422 / 5.5348 (PV annuity, 9%, 8 periods) = $1,702.32
Assume a project has earnings before depreciation and taxes of $15,000, depreciation of $25,000, and that the firm has a 30% tax bracket. What are the after-tax cash flows for the project
Answer: $12,000
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Earnings before depreciation and taxes = $15,000
Less: depreciation = $25,000
The earnings before tax = -$10,000
Less: taxes at 30% = -$3,000
Earnings after tax = -$13,000
Add: depreciation = $25,000
Cash flow = $25,000 - $13,000
= $12,000
True or False: Price equals marginal cost is a sufficient condition for profit maximization.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The profit maximizing rule is the rule in which the Marginal cost is equivalent to the Marginal revenue
i.e.
Marginal revenue = Marginal cost
MR = MC
In the case of perfect competition,
P = MC
Price = Marginal cost
For the firms that are price maker, in this the demand is downward and the marginal revenue is below to the demand curve
So
in this,
The price > MR = MC
Therefore this is not a sufficient condition
Hence, the given statement is false
3. Suppose local governments throughout the United States increase their tax on business inventories. What would you expect to happen to U.S. investment? Why?
Answer:
The investment will fall.
Explanation:
The U.S investment will fall because the increase in the tax will reduce its corporate profit and gross domestic investment will fall. Since the primary motive of every firm or company is to earn profit but if their profit decreases then the investor will not invest. Moreover, the company or investor will choose a different country where it can make more profit. Therefore, a rise in tax rate demotivates the investment.
If the local governments increase their tax on business inventories, then, investment will decline.
Basically, when there are increase of tax on business inventories, the country's gross domestic private investment will fall because investor are discouraged to invest.
The gross private domestic investment measure the amount of money that domestic businesses invest within their own country
Hence, the high tax will discourage current and new investors.
In conclusion, If the local governments increase their tax on business inventories, then, investment will decline.

Broker James has had his license suspended for two years. The licenses of all the broker-associates and salespersons who work for James are
Available Options Are:
A. Revoked, subject to reinstatement after 30 days.
B. Not affected by the suspension
C. Automatically suspended
D. Placed on inactive status
Answer:
D. Placed on inactive status
Explanation:
The reason is that James was jointly responsible for the actions of his broker-associates and salesperson because they were working under his supervision and that's why now as the license of James has been suspended for 2 years, James is no more jointly accountable for the actions of his associates and salesperson. Hence the licenses of associates and salesperson will be placed on inactive status. To reactive they will have to affiliate themselves to a broker who possesses an active license.
Suppose you save for a down payment on a house by investing $1200 each quarter into an account that gives 3.6% annual interest, compounded quarterly (four times a year). How much will you have after 5 years?
Answer:
FV= $26,167.17
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Quarterly deposit= $1,200
i= 0.036/4= 0.009
n= 5*4= 20
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
FV= {1,200*[(1.009^20) - 1]} / 0.009
FV= $26,167.17

Monopolistically competitive firms are troublesome to regulate for all of the following reasons, EXCEPT:_________.
a. they comprise a large proportion of the economy.
b. their market and political power renders them virtually untouchable.
c. it could result in fewer choices for consumers.
d. regulating prices only magnifies the inefficiency typical of these firms.
e. the government may be forced to subsidize firms to keep them in business.
Answer: b. their market and political power renders them virtually untouchable.
Explanation:
Monopolistically competitive firms typically comprise a large proportion of the economy and are therefore troublesome to regulate due to their sheer number.
Regulating them could also be troublesome for the economy as it might reduce the options that consumers have as well as exacerbate the inefficiencies of said firms.
They are not however, virtually untouchable as there are a myriad of laws that enable the Government to regulate them if the Government feels it is in the best interest of the consumers.
ABC, Inc. is a calendar-year corporation. Its financial statements for the years 2021 and 2020 contained errors as follows:
2021 2020
Ending inventory $9,000 overstated $24,000 overstated
Depreciation expense $6,000 understated $18,000 overstated
Assume that the proper correcting entries were made at December 31, 2020. By how much will 2021 income before taxes be overstated or understated?
A) $15,000 overstated B) $ 3,000 understated
C) $ 6,000 overstated D) $ 3,000 overstated
Answer: A) $15,000 overstated
Explanation:
Ending Inventory is subtracted from Cost of Goods sold so an overstated Ending Inventory would mean a smaller Cost of Goods sold and hence an overstated Income.
An Understated Depreciation amount would have the same effect because Depreciation is an expense so understating it would mean less expenses subtracted from Income leading to an overstated income.
As both of them will overstate income, the total overstatement would be;
= 9,000 + 6,000
= $15,000
A bond with par value of $1,000 has an annual coupon rate of 4.8% and currently sells for $970. What is the bond’s current yield?
Question:
A bond with par value of $1,000 has an annual coupon rate of 4.8% and currently sells for $970. What is the bond’s current yield?
Assuming a maturity period of 10 years (Note the tutor added this)
Answer:
Yield to Maturity =5.18%
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- years to maturity
YTM-?, C- 4.8%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-970, n- 10
YTM = (48 + (1000-970)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 970) )
YTM = 0.0518 × 100 = 5.18%
Yield to Maturity =5.18%
