Answer:
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78
Explanation:
The dividends paid by the stock can be said to be in the form of an annuity as the dividend payment is constant, it occurs after equal interval of time and it is expected for a finite or limited period of time. These satisfy the conditions of being an annuity. We assume that the dividend are paid at the end of the year and this is in form of an ordinary annuity.
To calculate the present value of the stock today, we will use the formula for present value of ordinary annuity. The formula for present value of annuity is attached.
Price today = 8.9 * [ (1 - (1+0.11)^-12) / 0.11 ]
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78

You take out a 30-year mortgage to buy a house worth $415,000. The down payment is 17% and the annual interest rate is 3.5%. What are the monthly payments?
Answers
Answer:
The monthly payments are $1,546.73
Explanation:
The monthly payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the mortgage balance = Mortgage worth - (Mortgage worth * Percentage of down payment) = $415,000 - ($415,000 * 17%) = $415,000 - $70,550 = $344,450
P = Monthly payments = ?
r = Monthly interest rate return rate = 3.5% / 12 = 0.035 / 12 = 0.00291666666666667
n = number of months = 30 years * 12 months = 360
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$344,450 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.00291666666666667))^360) / 0.00291666666666667)
$344,450 = P * 222.694984964558
P = $344,450 / 222.694984964558
P = $1,546.73442715748
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
P = $1,546.73
Therefore, the monthly payments are $1,546.73.
The risk-free rate of return is 7.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 2.8. Xyrong pays out 40% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $25 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 16% per year on all reinvested earnings forever.What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock?if the market price of a share is currently $67, and you expect the market price to be equal to the intrinsic value one year from now, calculate the price of the share after one year from now.What is your expected one-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock?
Answers
Answer:
The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock = $68.075.
the expected one-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock = 0.27716.
Explanation:
Without mincing words, let's dive straight into the solution to the question above:
The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock can be calculated as given below;
The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock = [ (1 + growth rate) × G° ] ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate). -------------------(1).
=> Where, growth rate = 16%( 1 - 0.4) = 9.6% = 0.96.
=> Cost of equity = 2.8( 14 - 7.5) + 7.5 = 25.7% = 0.257.
Thus, slotting in the values into the equation (1) above, we have;
The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock = [ (1 + growth rate) × G° ] ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate).
The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock = [( 1 + 0.96) × 10] ÷ (0.257 - 0.96) = $68.075.
Hence, the expected one-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock = G° × ( 1 + growth rate) + [ (The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock) × (1 + growth rate )] - market price of share ÷ market price of share.
= [ 10 × ( 1 + 0.96) + {$68.075 × (1 + 0.96)} - 67] ÷ 67 = 0.27716.

1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget from March?
2. What is the raw materials quantity variance from March?
Answers
Answer:
1. $1,200,000
2. -$80,000 U
Explanation:
1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget from March.
= Units produced and sold × Direct materials
= 30,000 units × 5 pounds × $8 per pound
= $1,200,000
2. What is the raw materials quantity variance from March.
=(Standard quantity for actual production - Actual quantity for actual production) × Standard price.
Standard quantity = 5 pounds × 30,000 units = 150,000 units
Actual quantity = 160,000 units
Standard price = 8
= (150,000 - 160,000) × $8

Hank owns a gym called Ultimate Fitness. During the past year, Hank sold some equipment and other assets to upgrade his facility. He sold an elliptical trainer for $400. The buyer also included a juicer machine worth $100. The elliptical trainer had an original cost of $1500 and had accumulated depreciation for tax purposes of $800. What is Hank's realized gain or loss on the sale?A) Loss of $1000B) Loss of $200C) Loss of $1100D) Loss of $300
Answers
Answer:
B) Loss of $200
Explanation:
gain/loss resulting from the exchange = total consideration received - asset's basis
assets's basis = $1,500 - $800 = $700total consideration received = $400 + $100 (juicer machine) = $500gain/loss resulting from the exchange = $500 - $700 = -$200
In this case, Hank can report a net loss resulting from the exchange since the consideration received in exchange for the elliptical trainer was lower than its book value.

One year ago, you purchased 162 shares of Best Wings stock at a price of $39.44 per share. The company pays an annual dividend of $0.79 per share. Today, you sold for the shares for $38.03 a share. What is your total percentage return on this investment?
Answers
Answer:
the total percentage return on this investment is -1.57%
Explanation:
The computation of the total percentage return on this investment is shown below:
The total return Per Share is
= [(Price at End - Price at Beginning) + Dividend ]
= [($38.03 - $39.44) + $0.79]
= -0.62
Now the total percentage return on this investment is
= Total return per share ÷ initial investment × 100
= -$0.62 / $39.44 × 100
=-1.57%
Hence, the total percentage return on this investment is -1.57%

A balance sheet that displays assets and liabilities into current versus noncurrent categories is commonly called a:________a) categorized balance sheet. b) current balance sheet. c) classified balance sheet. d) dual display balance sheet.
Answers
Answer:
c) classified balance sheet.
Explanation:
A classified balance sheet can be described as a balance sheet in which the information about assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity of a company is presented by aggregating or classifying it into subcategories of accounts.
The advantage of a classified balance sheet is that it easier to read and it makes it easier for readers to obtain required information than when the information is just presented in a large number of line items.
The classifications mostly used within a classified balance sheet include Intangible assets, fixed assets (or Property, Plant, and Equipment), current assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities, and shareholders' equity.
In accounting, the addition of these classifications is required to match the accounting equation stated as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholders' Equity

We can see in this picture that the market equilibrium is met at a price of $5, thus, $5 is the equilibrium price, because demand and supply are both 125 at this point.
If the govenment sets a price floor of $2, there will be no effect, because the price floor is non-binding.
A non-binding price floor is a minimum price set by the government that is actually lower that the equilibrium market price. In this case, the price of the market will be allowed to go to $5, and reach equilibrium, so the policy osf setting the $2 price floor will have no effect.

Stephen is a day trader who constantly buys and sells only medical-related stocks. Stephen has _____ asset allocation strategy and a(n) _____ security selection strategy.
Answers
Answer: a passive; active
Explanation:
When a person or institution is said to have a passive asset allocation strategy it means that they either trade the same assets over and over or apply the same weighting to the asset class every time. Stephen only trades medical-related stocks so is using passive allocation.
An active security selection strategy means that the person or institution constantly changes and trades the stocks in their portfolio much like Stephen does when he constantly trades stock. Stephen is therefore using an active security selection strategy.

Explanation:
European Union tax and pollution laws are meant to bind only the area in the EU and not other areas. For instance, a Nebraska state law that is not law in other parts of the country only covers Nebraska and so can only be enforced there.
The same logic goes for the EU. Their laws are only applicable if you are in their area of control. This means that U.S. companies doing business in the EU must comply with EU regulations when doing business in the EU only.

b) $150 million
c) $165.42 million
d) $172.22 million
e) $185 million
Answers
Answer:
d) $172.22 million
Explanation:
given data
equity = 70 %
debt = 30 %
flotation costs equity = 15 %
flotation costs debt = 8 %
BBQ = $150 million
solution
first we get here weighted average flotation cost that is express as
weighted average flotation cost = ( Flotation cost debt × Weight debt ) + ( Flotation cost equity × Weight equity ) .................1
put here value and we get
weighted average flotation cost = (8% × 0.30) + (15% × 0.70)
weighted average flotation cost = 0.024 + 0.105
weighted average flotation cost = 0.129 = 12.9%
and
now we get here cost of funds that is express as
Cost of funds = Amount raised ÷ (1 - Weighted average floatation cost) .............2
put here value we get
Cost of funds = [tex]\frac{150,000,000}{1-0.129}[/tex]
Cost of funds = [tex]\frac{150,000,000}{0.871}[/tex]
Cost of funds = $172,215,844
so correct answer is d) $172.22 million

C. Marginal revenue for producing the 9 unit is $1
D. Marginal revenue for producing the 9 units is $15
Answers
Answer:
D. Marginal revenue for producing the 9 units is $15
Explanation:
TR(8) = $48
TR(9) = $63
MR(9) = TR(9) - TR(8) = $63 - $48 = $15
AR(8) = TR(8) / 8 = $48/8 = $6
AR(9) = TR(9)/9 = 63/9 = $9
Note: TR=Total revenue, AR= Average Revenue and MR=Marginal Revenue
So, the only correct option is option d
This firm is currently operating at 84 percent of capacity. All costs and net working capital vary directly with sales. The tax rate, the profit margin, and the dividend payout ratio will remain constant. How much additional debt is required if no new equity is raised and sales are projected to increase by 12 percent?
Answers
Answer:
Most of the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
The Steel Mill is currently operating at 84 percent of capacity. Annual sales are $28,400 and net income is $2,250. The firm has current liabilities of $2,700, long-term debt of $9,800, net fixed assets of $16,900, net working capital of $5,000, and owners' equity of $12,100. All costs and net working capital vary directly with sales. The tax rate and profit margin will remain constant. The dividend payout ratio is constant at 40 percent. How much additional debt is required if no new equity is raised and sales are projected to increase by 12 percent?
if the firm is operating at full capacity, then it will need to raise new debt:
EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))
A/S = $24,600 / $28,400 = 0.866
ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408
L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095
PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079
FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808
(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6
EFN = (0.866 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6) = $2,951.33 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = $1,119.87
but if the firm is operating only at 84% (16% spare capacity), then it will not need to raise new debt:
EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))
A/S = $7,700 / $28,400 = 0.271
since there is 16% of spare capacity, no new fixed assets will be required
ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408
L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095
PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079
FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808
(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6
EFN = (0.271 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6) = $923.57 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = -$907.89
