The market capitalization rate for Admiral Motors Company is 8%. Its expected ROE is 10% and its expected EPS is $5. The firm's plowback ratio is 60%. a. Calculate the growth rate. (Input your answer as a nearest whole percent.) b. What will be its P/E ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
(A) 6%
(B) 20
Explanation:
The market capitalization rate for Admiral motors is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
The expected ROE is 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
The expected EPS is $5
The Plowback ratio is 60%
= 60/100
= 0.6
(A) The growth rate can be calculated as follows
= Plowback ratio × ROE
= 0.6 × 0.1
= 0.06×100
= 6%
Hence the growth rate is 6%
(B) The P/E ratio can be calculated as follows
= 1-0.6/0.08-0.06
= 0.4/0.02
= 20
Hence the P/E ratio is 20
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent next year and then decreasing the growth rate to a constant 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1 per share. What is the current value of a share if the required rate of return is 14 percent?
Answer:
Current value per share is $13.33
Explanation:
The two stage growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + [ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r) ]
Where,
g1 is the initial growth rate which is 20% g2 is the constant growth rate which is 5% r is the required rate of return
P0 = 1 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.14) + [ (1 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.05) / (0.14 - 0.05)) / (1+0.14) ]
P0 = $13.33

a) Interest has been paid to the bank
b) Interest cost is being incurred
c) Expenditures for the assets have been made
d) Activities that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Cost of an asset includes the purchase price and other cost that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use and all these costs must be capitalized. Interest (borrowing cost) according to IAS 23( borrowing cost) states Interest directly involved in acquisition or construction or producing of qualifying assets must be capitalized i.e included in the cost of the asset.
Suppose a U.S. Treasury bond will pay $2,500 five years from now. If the prevailing interest rate on 5-year Treasury bonds is 4.25%, compounded semiannually, the value of the bond today is closest to:
Answer:
The value of the bond today is closest to $1648.85
Explanation:
The value of the bond today is closest to:
Present Value = FV / (1+i)^n *m
FV= 2500
I = 4.25 = 0.0425
N= 5
M= 2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / (1+0.0425) ^5*2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / 1.516214468
The value of the bond today = 1648.853256
The value of the bond today = $1648.85

An individual wants to have $95,000 per year to live on when she retires in 30 years. The individual is planning on living for 20 years after retirement. If the investor can earn 6% during her retirement years and 10% during her working years, how much should she be saving during her working life? (Hint: Treat all calculations as annuities.)
Answer:
annual contribution = $6,624.25
total amount saved in 30 years = $1,089,650
Explanation:
time until retiring = 30 years
interest rate earned until retiring = 10%
she plans to live 20 years after retiring
interest rate earned after retiring = 6%
expected distribution = $95,000 per year
in order for her to be able to have the 20 payments of $95,000, she will need:
= annual payment x PV annuity factor
annual payment = $95,000PV annuity factor (6%, 20 periods) = 11.470total amount needed = $95,000 x 11.47 = $1,089,650
in order to determine the annual contribution we need to use the future value of an annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor
FV = $1,089,650FV annuity factor (10%, 30 periods) = 164.494annual payment = $1,089,650 / 164.494 = $6,624.25
Refer to Mc-King Chicken. Which of the following would not be an advantage of a franchise?
a. He gains fast and well-controlled distribution.
b. He has more capital available to expand.
c. Outlets are maintained and operated according to a set plan.
d. He has the opportunity to start a business with limited capital.
e. Success will cause another outlet to be opened nearby.
Answer: e. Success will cause another outlet to be opened nearby.
Explanation:
Another franchise opening does not depend on the success of Mc-King because this would imply that the funds from the successful outlet will be needed to open a new branch.
Franchises are opened with minimal capital from the side of the franchisor so the success of an outlet is not a factor in franchising. Even if he not making enough to start another outlet using his own funds, franchising will enable him to by using the funds of others.

Rick O'Shea, the only employee of Hunter Furniture Company, makes $30,000 per year and is paid once a month. For the month of January, his federal income taxes withheld are $180, state income taxes withheld are $37, social security is 6.2% on a maximum wages of $106,800, Medicare tax is 1.45%, State Unemployment Tax is 4.2%, and Federal Unemployment tax is .8%, both on a maximum wages of $7,000 per employee. What is the employer's payroll tax expense from Rick's paycheck
Answer: $316.25
Explanation:
The taxes paid by the employer are the Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, Federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) and State unemployment taxes (SUTA).
Rick makes $3,000 a year but is paid monthly.
= 30,000/12
= $2,500
= (6.2% * 2,500) + (1.45% * 2,500) + ( 0.8% * 2,500) + ( 4.2% * 2,500)
= 155 + 36.25 + 20 + 105

Savings Mart is a national retail chain. To entice the company to open a mega store in its jurisdiction, the city of Populationville donated a 20-acre tract of land to be used for construction. The land was originally purchased by the city for $250,000 three years ago. The appraisal value at the time of the donation was $300,000. For what amount should Savings Mart record the donated land
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
As per the Internal service revenue (IRS) and Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), when the entity who is profit making received any fixed asset as a donation than the same assets should be recorded at the fair value amount
Here the purchase price is $250,000 and the appraisal value i.e. fair value is $300,000
So the amount of donating the land should be recorded at $300,000
Consider a project with only positive cash flows after year 0. If the company felt that the risk of the project was less than original estimates, which of the following would occur?
Answer: Required Rate of Return Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return
A Higher Higher Lower
B Higher Lower No change
C No Change Higher No change
D Lower Lower Higher
E Lower Higher No Change
Answer:
E
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the rate used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV. the more risky a project is, the higher the required rate of return. So, if it is perceived that the project is less risky, the required rate of return would decrease.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Because the required rate of return is used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV, a lower rate would increase NPV
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. The required rate is not needed when calculating IRR. so, there would be no change in IRR if discount rate is lowered.
Sidewinder, Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $328,000, depreciation expense of $73,000, interest expense of $38,000, and a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the net income for this firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

A. 0.70.
B. 1.05.
C. 1.40.
D. 2.10.
Answer:
Beta= 1.05
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A two-stock portfolio is equally invested in stocks with betas of 1.4 and 0.7.
To calculate the Beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
Beta= (0.5*1.4) + (0.5*0.7)
Beta= 1.05

Consider a risky portfolio, A, with an expected rate of return of 0.15 and a standard deviation of 0.15, that lies on a given indifference curve. Which one of the following portfolios might lie on the same indifference curve?
A. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.20.
B. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.10.
C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
D. E(r) = 0.20; Standard deviation = 0.15.
E. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.20.
Answer: C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
Explanation:
An indifference curve is plotted by graphing the various combinations of portfolios such that the customer in question is indifferent between them as they regard the combinations as giving them equal utility.
For portfolios to be on the same indifference curve they would have to provide the same reward - risk ratio. The reward to risk ratio of the portfolio in question is;
=Expected return/standard deviation'
= 0.15/0.15
= 1.0
Any portfolio with this same reward - risk ratio will be on the same curve.
The Portfolio in Option C has the same reward - risk ratio (0.1 - 0.1) and so will lie on the same indifference curve.
You are planning to make monthly deposits of $70 into a retirement account that pays 12 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 24 years
Answer:
FV= $115,928.81
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $70
Interest rate= 0.12/12= 0.01
n= 24*12= 288
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

If a firm's forecasted sales are $250,000 and its break-even sales are $190,000, the margin of safety in dollars is:_________.
a) $60,000.
b) $250,000.
c) $190,000.
d) $440,000.
e) $24,000.
Answer:
a. $60000
Explanation:
The forecasted sales of the firm = $250000
Breakeven sales of the firm = $190000
We have to find the margin of safety by using the above given information. Therefore, it can be determined by subtracting the breakeven sales from sales.
The margin of safety = sales – breakeven sales
The margin of safety = 250000 – 190000
The margin of safety = $60000
Thus, option A is correct.
The Day Company and the Knight Company are identical in every respect except that Day is not levered. Financial information for the two firms appears in the following table. All earnings streams are perpetuities, and neither firm pays taxes. Both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders immediately. Day Knight Projected operating $750,000 $ 750,000 income Year-end interest on debt $ 77,500 Market value of stock $3,600,000 $2,300,000 Market value of debt - $1,550,000

b. Given the two investment strategies in (a), which will investors choose?
Answer:
a) $67,250
b) $68,500
c) Investment in Day Company results in a higher return, so I guess investors would probably go for it.
Explanation:
Knight Company's net income = $750,000 - $77,500 = $672,500
total investment in Knight Company = $2,300,000 / 10% = $230,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $672,500 / $2,300,000 = $0.292391
total cash flow = $230,000 x $0.292391304 = $67,250
Day Company's net income = $750,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $750,000 / $3,600,000 = $0.208333333
total investment in Day Company = $360,000, but I borrowed $130,000 to make this investment. The $130,000 will result in $6,500 annual interest payments
total cash flow = ($360,000 x $0.208333333) - $6,500 = $75,000 - $6,500 = $68,500
Which of the following is true of external recruiting, compared to internal recruiting?
A. It encourages greater employee loyalty.
B. The process is cheaper.
C. The pool of talent is more limited.
D. It creates the need for multiple recruitments.
E. The process takes longer.
Answer:
The answer is E. The process takes longer
Explanation:
External recruitment is the process of announcing vacancies to the people outside ones organization while Internal recruitment is the process of announcing vacancies for the internal staffs only.
The process of external recruitment is usually longer and more expensive than internal recruitment. For example, payment to publish the vacancies in any national newspapers or payment for outsourcing company that specializes in recruitment.
Option A is wrong because external recruitment discourages employee loyalty.
Option B in incorrect because this is so for internal recruitment
Meenach Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 66,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $99,000, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $4.50 per direct labor-hour. Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
Required:
Calculate the amount of overhead applied to Job X387. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $1,320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated fixed overhead= $99,000
Estimated variable overhead= $4.5 per unit
Estimated direct labor hour= 66,000
Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (99,000/66,000) + 4.5
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*220
Allocated MOH= $1,320
The Cutting Department has units in process at the end of that are 100% complete for direct materials and % complete for conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs.
Answer:
this question is incomplete, so I looked for another question that can be used as an example:
"The Cutting Department has 8,000 units in process at the end of September that are 100% complete for direct materials. The units are 70% complete for direct labor and manufacturing overhead, which is added uniformly. "
