It paid a $1.38 per share dividend today. What was your realized return?
Answer: 17.9%
Explanation:
From the question, a stock was bought one year ago for $48.28 per share and sold today for $55.92 per share and also paid a $1.38 per share dividend today.
The realized return will be calculated as:
Po = (P1 + D1) ÷ (1+Re)
48.28 = (55.92 + 1)/(1 + Re)
48.28 = 56.92/(1 + Re)
Cross multiply
48.28 + 48.28Re = 56.92
48.28Re = 56.92 - 48.28
48.28Re = 8.64
Re = 8.64/48.28
Re = 0.179 = 17.9%
Provide two examples of goods/services that are classified as private goods/services even though they are provided by a federal government.
Answer: Post office; toll roads
Explanation:
Private goods are goods that have two main features which are rivalry and excludability. Private goods have to be bought before they can be used.
The goods/services that are classified as private goods/services even though they are provided by a federal government are post offices and toll roads.
Even though they're both provided by the government, individuals have to pay to use toll roads and also had to pay for stamps and other things before their delivery are made at the post office.

An investor purchases a long call at a price of $2.60. The strike price at expiration is $37. If the current stock price is $37.10, what is the break-even point for the investor?
Answer: $39.60
Explanation:
A long call makes a profit when the price of the underlying stock is higher than the strike price and the cost of acquiring the call.
The Break-even point for the investor will be at the point where the underlying stock price will be the same as the strike price plus the cost paid to purchase the call.
Break-even point = Strike price + Price of call
= 37 + 2.60
= $39.60
king costume uses a periodic inventory system. The company started the month with 9 masks in its begining inventory that cost %8 each. During the month, King Costume purchased 41 additional masks for $10 each. At the end of the month, King counted its inventory and found that 3 masks remained unsold. Using the LIFO method, its cost of goods sold for the month is:______.
a. $434.
b. $440.
c. $24.
d. $428.
The options given in the question are incorrect. The options are correct with respect to the question if beginning inventory is 6 masks.
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the month is $458
Explanation:
The LIFO or last in first out is a method for inventory valuation. It values the closing inventory assuming that it contains the units that were present in the inventory at the very start of the period. Thus, the cost of goods sold contains the units that were most recently purchased.
The number of units available for sale was = 9 + 41 = 50
The sales in units = 50 - 3 = 47
Out of the 47 units of masks sold, under LIFO, the 41 masks will be from the masks purchased in the month while the remaining 6 masks will be from the opening inventory as the inventory that is bought later is sold first.
The cost of goods sold for the month under LIFO will be,
Cost of Goods Sold
41 masks at $10 each $410
6 masks at $8 each $48

Your investment bank has an investment of $100 million in the stock of the Swiss Roll Corporation and a short position in the stock of the Frankfurter Sausage Company. Here is the recent price history of the two stocks:
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question and the missing table
Your investment bank has an investment of $100 million in the stock of the Swiss Roll Corporation and a short position in the stock of the Frankfurter Sausage Company. Here is the recent price history of the two stocks: on the evidence of these six months how large would your short position in Frankfurter sausage needed to be to hedge you as far as possible against movements in the price of swiss Roll
answer : $42003667
Explanation:
$100 million in stocks
According to the data provided in the table attached below, to short the Frankfurt in order to hedge investment in Rolls is calculated below
we have to calculate the total return on both Roll corporation and Frankfurter sausage
for f-sausage
∑ (1 + monthly returns ) / 100
= ( 1 - 0.1 + 1 - 0.1 .... + 1 + 0.1 ) = -0.0297 = -2.97%
for Roll corporation
∑ (1 + monthly returns ) / 100
= ( 1 - 0.1 + 1 - 0.05 .... + 1 + 0.1 ) = -0.012475 = - 1.24%
next we will calculate the total loss inquired when investing in Roll corporation
Total loss = percentage loss * total investment
= 0.012475 * $100 million = - $ 1247500
we will have to offset the loss by shorting investments in F sausage
hence : $1247500 = investment in sausage * total return
1247500 = investment in sausage * 0.0297 ( The total return of F sausage is positive because it was a short position )
hence short investment in F sausage to offset loss incurred in ROLLS INVESTMENT
= 1247500 / 0.0297 = $42003667

"You are in the middle of a discussion with an institutional client over the phone, where you recommend that the client buy 100,000 shares of ABC stock. It looks like the client may be interested in making the purchase. Your cubicle is within earshot of the neighboring cubicle. Just before your client tells you take the order to buy, you overhear your colleague, the representative in the neighboring cubicle, selling 10,000 shares of ABC stock to his client. Which statement is TRUE about this situation?"
Answer:
The colleague has committed a violation because your customer's order could move the price of ABC stock
Explanation:
Front running is also called tailgating. It is a prohibited practice where a trader enters into a position security based on non-public information about a large trade that will influence the price of the security.
The trade is initiated to take advantage of the new price that the large trade will cause. The position is entered before the large trade occurs.
In this scenario your neighbour heard you telling your client to but 100,000 share of ABC. Because the transaction will influence the market he also tells his client to buy 10,000.
This is tailgating and it is a violation.
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. One of the stocks has a beta of 1.31 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market. What must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?

Distinguish between serial activities and concurrent activities why do we seek to use concurrent activities as a way to shorten the project length
Answer and Explanation:
Serial activities are activities that are performed one after the other. In serial activities, one step in a job is finished before the other step starts. In other words more time may be spent as against concurrent activities whereby the two steps in a job can be performed at the same time such that the second step can start while the first step of the job is in progress. Managers prefer concurrent activities because it saves time as jobs are completed faster when steps can be performed "concurrently"
The constraint at Johngrass Corporation is time on a particular machine. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below: VT UV LQ Selling price per unit $335.09 $228.37 $199.12 Variable cost per unit $259.44 $173.26 $159.79 Minutes on the constraint 6.60 3.40 4.60 Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product. Up to how much should the company be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource
Answer:
$8.55 per minute
Explanation:
The computation of willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource is shown below:-
= (Selling price - Variable cost) ÷ Minutes on the constraint
= ($199.12 - $159.79) ÷ 4.60
= $39.33 ÷ 4.60
= $8.55 per minute
Therefore for computing the willingness to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource we simply applied the above formula.
Assume that during the past year the consumer price index increased by 1.5 percent and the securities listed below returned the following nominal rates of return.
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25
A. What are the nominal rates of return for each of these securities?
B. If next year the nominal rates all rise by 10 percent (i.e. multiply by 1.1, do NOT add 0.10) while inflation climbs from 4 percent to 5 percent, what will be the real rate of return on each security?
Answer:
A)
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25%
B)
real rate of return = [(1 + nominal rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
U.S Government T-bills 5.50%
nominal rate = 5.5% x 1.1= 6.05%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.05%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1%
U.S Government Long-term bonds 6.25
nominal rate = 6.25% x 1.1= 6.875%
inflation rate = 5%
real rate of return = [(1 + 6.875%) / (1 + 5%)] - 1 = 1.79%

A. $80,000.
B. $125,000.
C. $50,000.
D. $100,000.
E. None of the choices are correct.
Answer:
$80,000
Explanation:
Sienna owned $200,000 worth of real estate at her death
This real estate was titled with her sister in joint tenancy with the right of ownership
Sienna contributed $50,000 to the total cost of the property
Her sister contributed the remaining $75,000
The first step is to determine the portion contributed by Sienna
= $50,000/$50,000+$75,000
= $50,000/$125,000
= 0.4×100
= 40%
Therefore, the amount that should be included in Sienna's gross estate can be calculated as follows
= 40/100 × $200,000
= 0.4 × $200,000
= $80,000
Hence the amount that should be included in Sienna's gross estate is $80,000
Gerritt wants to buy a car that costs $30,750. The interest rate on his loan is 5.65 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 7 years. What are his monthly payments
Answer:
$444.07
Explanation:
EMI = [P * I * (1+I)^N]/[(1+I)^N-1]
P =loan amount or Principal = 30750
I = Interest rate per month = .0565/12
N = the number of installments = 7*12 = 84
EMI = [30750*.0565/12* (1+(.0565/12))^84]/[(.0565/12))^84-1]
EMI = [30,750 * 0.0565 / 12 * 1.48374877204] / [1.48374877204 - 1]
EMI = 214.819001902 / 0.48374877204
EMI = $444.07

The following information is available: (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) Standard Division Premium Division Total Sales $300000 $700000 $1000000 Variable costs $180000 280000 Contribution margin $120000 $420000 Total fixed costs $300000 What is the break-even point in dollars?
Answer:
The break-even point sales in dollars are $555,555.60
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio= (Total contribution margin / Total sales ) ×100
Contribution margin ratio= (S′ s contribution margin + P's contribution margin) / Total sales * 100
Contribution margin ratio = $120000 + $420000) / $1000000 * 100
Contribution margin ratio = 54%
Therefore, the contribution margin ratio of sales mix is 54%.
Break Even Point sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
=$300,000 / 54%
=$555,555.60
Therefore, the break-even point sales in dollars are $555,555.60

c. Calculate the accounts receivable turnover for 2016. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
d. Calculate the number of days' sales in accounts receivable for 2016, using year-end accounts receivable. (Use 365 days a year. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:Inventory turnover = 3.50 Times
Number of days sales in inventory= 94.5 Days
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 21.5 Times
Number of days sales in accounts receivable =12.5 days
Explanation:
a) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
$609,550 / $174,000 = 3.50 Times
b)Number of days sales in inventory = inventory at year end / Cost of goods sold x 365
$157,800 / $609,550 x 365 = 94.49≈94.5 Days
.
c)Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net sales / Average accounts Receivable for the year
$857,750/$39,900 = 21.49≈ 21.5 Times
d)Number of days sales in accounts receivable = end of year Accounts Receivable / Net credit sales x 365
$29,400 / $857,750 x 365 = 12.51 ≈ 12.5 days

Geographically dispersed work groups no longer pose additional communication challenges given todays technology.
a) true
b) false
The given statement is False Option(b) is correct.
What are work groups?A Working group, or working party, is a group of specialists working together to accomplish indicated objectives. The groups are space explicit and center around conversation or action around a particular branch of knowledge.
A working group's presentation is comprised of the singular consequences of all its singular individuals. A group's presentation is comprised of both individual outcomes and aggregate outcomes. In enormous associations, working groups are predominant, and the attention is dependably on individual objectives, execution and accountabilities.
Working group individuals don't get a sense of ownership with results other than their own. Then again, groups require both individual and common responsibility. There is more data sharing, more group conversations and discussions to show up at a group choice The life expectancy of a working group can endure anyplace between a couple of months and quite a long while. Such groups tend to foster a semi extremely durable presence when the relegated task is achieved consequently the need to disband or gradually eliminate the working group when it has accomplished its objective.

Lei Corporation has bonds on the market with 22.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 6.9 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,057. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on these bonds
Answer:
7.4%
Explanation:
Coupon rate=coupon payment/face value
The coupon payment can be ascertained using the pmt Excel function as stated below:
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity expressed in semiannual terms i.e 6.9%*6/12=3.45%
nper is the number of semiannual coupons the bond would pay over its 22.5 years i.e 22.5*2=45 payments
pv is the current price of $1057
fv is the face value of $1000
=pmt(3.45%,45,-1057,1000)=$37(semiannual coupon)
annual coupon=$37*2=$74
coupon rate=$74/$1000=7.4%
