An investor sells 100 shares short at $43. The sale requires a margin deposit equal to 60 percent of the proceeds of the sale. The company paid a cash dividend of $1 per share. If the investor closed the position at $38, what was the percentage earned or lost on the investment
Answer:
15.5%
Explanation:
We first calculate the beginning value of the investment
= 43$x100 = 4300
We find ending value = $38x100 = 3800
We find dividend = $1x100 = $100
Profit therefore = 4300-3800-100 = 400
Investment = 60% x 4300= 2580
ROI = 400/2580 = 0.1550 = 15.5%
Therefore calculated percentage = 15.5%

Gilmore, Inc., had equity of $135,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $290,000. During the year, the company sold no new equity. Net income for the year was $29,000 and dividends were $3,400. a. What is the sustainable growth rate for the company
Answer:
A. 18.96%
B. 18.96%
C. 15.94%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate for the company
First step is to calculate the Ending equity
Ending equity = 135,000 + 29,000 -3,400
Ending equity=$160,600.
Second step is to calculate the return on equity
Return on equity =29,000/160,600
Return on equity=0.18057285
Third step is to calculate the retention ratio
Retention ratio =(Net income- dividends) / Net income
Retention ratio= (29,000-3400) / 29,000
Retention ratio=25,600 /29,000
Retention ratio=0.88275862.
Now let calculate the Sustainable growth rate using this formula
Sustainable growth rate = (Return on equity *Retention ratio) / [1-(Return on equity*retention ratio)]
Let plug in the formula
Sustainable growth rate=(0.18057285*0.88275862)/ [1-(0.18057285*0.88275862)]
Sustainable growth rate=0.15940224/ [1-0.15940224]
Sustainable growth rate=0.1896*100
Sustainable growth rate=18.96%.
b. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
First step is to calculate the return on equity using beginning of the period equity
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=$29,000 /135,000
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=0.21481481.
Now let calculate the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
roe * b = 0.21481481*0.88275862
ROE band=0.1896*100
ROE band=18.96%.
c.return on equity using ending of period equity = 29,000/160,600
=>0.18057285
roe*b=>0.18057285*0.88275862
=>0.1594
=>15.94%.
You have accepted a job as the president and CEO of a large transportation conglomerate. Over the years, the conglomerate has acquired a number of unrelated divisions. Your first action as CEO is to complete a strategic plan.
Business Projected Growth Rate Current market share
Shipping Low 1%
Cargo inspection High 5%
Railroad loading Low 75%
Freight forwarding High 70%
Which of the following divisions would you take profits from and continue to run?
a. Railroad loading
b. Shipping
c. Freight forwarding
d. Cargo inspection
Answer: a. Railroad loading
Explanation:
This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.
The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.
This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.
XYZ has the following for the January budget: Budgeted sales are $210,000; Cost of goods sold averages 66% of sales; Marketing costs are $3,600; Distribution costs are $5,300; Administrative costs are $10,100. The budgeted nonmanufacturing costs are
Answer:
Budgeted manufacturing cost= $138,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted sales are $210,000
Cost of goods sold averages 66% of sales
To calculate the budgeted manufacturing costs, we need to use the following formula:
Budgeted manufacturing cost= sales*COGS ratio
Budgeted manufacturing cost= 210,000*0.66
Budgeted manufacturing cost= $138,600

[tex]= \frac{(\$ 100,000 \times 0.97 - \$ 34,000)}{\$ 600,000}\\\\= \frac{\$ 63,000}{ \$ 600,000}\\\\= 10.5\%[/tex]
What of the following DO NOT represent the Cost-benefit analysis of going to college?
a. Having a student loan (debt)
b. Having a stable job with a high salary
c. Having an education
d. Getting a degree
Answer: b. Having a stable job with a high salary
Explanation:
The Cost-benefit analysis takes into account the costs and rewards of doing something. It however only takes into account costs and benefits that are directly attributable to the thing in question.
The Cost benefit analysis of going to college for instance would include the cost of college which is having to take a student loan most times and therefore incurring debt.
The benefits however include, having an education and getting a degree.
Getting a degree is not a guarantee that you will get a stable job with a high salary so this is not directly related to going to college and so cannot factor into the cost benefit analysis of college.

A new tennis court complex is planned. Each of two alternatives will last 18 years, and the interest rate is 7%. Use present worth analysis to determine which should be selected.
Construction Cost Annual O&M
A $500,000 $25,000
B 640,000 10,000
Answer:
B should be selected.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of net present worth:
Present value of A = -500000 - 25000 * (P/A, 7%,18)
Present value = -500000 - 25000 * 10.059087
Present value = -751477.17
Present value of B = -640000 - 10000 * (P/A, 7%,18)
Present value = -640000 - 10000 * 10.059087
Present value = -740590.87
The present value of B is lower so it will be selected.
If a monopoly charges higher prices to consumers who buy smaller quantities than to consumers who buy larger quantities, then
Answer:
Explanation:
Monopoly is the form of market in which the single market trading products and services are discussed and then the possibility of producing good economic profit is given. The monopoly is linked to the absence of a competitive scenario.
In large volumes, when the customer buys items, individuals are only impacted by the tiniest price fluctuation. Consumers who buy fewer amounts of items are, by contrast, subject to higher pricing as the smallest price changes do not much affect them. There is therefore increased demand price elasticity for customers who purchase bigger amounts of items.
Mullee Corporation produces a single product and has the following cost structure: Number of units produced each year 7,000 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 51 Direct labor $ 12 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead $441,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $112,000 The absorption costing unit product cost is:________
a. $65 per unit
b. $128 per unit
c. $63 per unit
d. $149 per unit
Answer:
unitary absorption production cost= $128
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:
Unitary fixed overhead= 441,000 / 7,000= $63
Now, the unitary absorption production cost:
unitary absorption production cost= 51 + 12 + 2 + 63
unitary absorption production cost= $128
Because stocks rely on dividends as the principal source of cash flow, ascertaining stock prices is an easier and more precise process than the valuation of bonds, which relies on variable coupon payments.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Shares grants ownership rights to holders of the shares.
The payment of stock is not fixed. it is variable and it depends on the net income earned by a company. stockholders are paid after bondholders have been paid.
bonds are debt instruments issued by a company
coupon payments are fixed and contractual.
bonds are thus easier to value

As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI for Airfare in 2263 was 586.1 (using a base year of 1914 = 100). The CPI for Airfare in 2264 was 605.7. Based on this data, what was the inflation rate of airfare from 2263 to 2264?
Answer: 3.34%
Explanation:
Firstly, we have to calculate the difference in CPI from the year 2263 to 2264 which will be:
= 605.7 - 586.1
= 19.6
Then, the inflation rate will be:
= Difference in CPI / Base CPI × 100
= 19.6/586.1 × 100
= 3.34%
The inflation rate is 3.34%.

ABC Company's production budget for March is 32,000 units. Budgeted fixed overhead is $64,000. ABC's standard fixed overhead application rate is $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time. Actual fixed overhead for March is $67,000 Actual production in March is 36,000 units. To calculate its standard fixed overhead application rate, ABC divided its budgeted (units/overhead) by its budgeted (units/overhead)
Answer:
Overheads by its budgeted units.
Explanation:
Given that
Budgeted fixed overhead = $64,000
Budgeted output = 32,000 units
We know that
Standard fixed overhead application rate is
= Budgeted fixed overhead ÷ Budgeted output
= $64,000 ÷ 32,000
= $2 per unit
So, Overheads by its budgeted units.

The financial statements of the Sunland Company reports net sales of $828000 and accounts receivable of $79200 and $43200 at the beginning of the year and end of year, respectively. What is the average collection period for accounts receivable in days
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, the average collection period in days is computed as
= Average balance of account receivables / Net credit sales × 365
Average balance of account receivables = ($79,200 + $43,200) / 2
= $61,200
Net credit sales = $828,000
= $61,200 / $828,000 × 365
= 26.97 days
= 27 days
Hence the average collection period in days is 27 days
The management of Nicto Company plans to have an inventory at the end of each month equal to 30% of the next month's sales. Budgeted sales in units over the next three months are 87,000 in October, 127,000 in November, and 107,000 in December. Budgeted production for November would be:
Answer:
Production= 121,000
Explanation:
To calculate the budgeted production for November, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 127,000 + (107,000*0.3) - (127,000*0.3)
Production= 127,000 + 32,100 - 38,100
Production= 121,000
The financial statements of the Kingbird, Inc. reports net sales of $323700 and accounts receivable of $49000 and $29000 at the beginning of the year and end of year, respectively. What is the accounts receivable turnover for Kingbird
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that;
Net sales = $323,700
Beginning accounts receivables = $49,000
Ending accounts receivables = $29,000
Account receivable turnover is computed as
= Net credit sales / Average accounts receivables
Average accounts receivables = $49,000 + $29,000 / 2 = $39,000
Net sales = $323,700
Then,
Accounts receivable turnover = $323,700 / $39,000
Account receivables turnover = 8.3 times

The concept of leverage is that a.a high debt-to-equity ratio is favorable. b.it is appropriate to borrow if the return on the assets is greater than the cost of the financing. c.it is appropriate to borrow as long as the lender approves the loan. d.it is unfavorable to borrow funds rather than raise the capital from stockholders.
Answer:
b. it is appropriate to borrow if the return on the assets is greater than the cost of the financing.
Explanation:
A leverage can be defined as a process which typically involves the use of fixed-charged assets or items in a business with the intention of multiplying potential financial gains and returns.
In Financial accounting, the concept of leverage is that it is appropriate for a business firm to borrow an amount of money (debt), if the return on the assets (capital gain or income) is greater than the cost of the financing (debt or borrowed money).
Basically, financial leverage which is also known as trading on equity, is the utilization of debt (borrowed money) to acquire or purchase new assets with the intent and expectation that the income generated from these assets would exceed the cost incurred from borrowing. Thus, a business that engages in financial leveraging assumes that it would generate a higher income or capital gain from the amount of debt (borrowed money) used in its capital structure.
According to the CAPM, what is the expected market return given a required return on a security of 14.6%, a stock beta of 1.2, and a risk-free interest rate of 5%
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
14.6% = 5% + 1.2(market rate of return - 5%)
14.6% = 5% + 1.2 x market rate of return - 6%
14.6% = -1%+ 1.2 x market rate of return
14.6% + 1% = + 1.2 x market rate of return
15.6% = + 1.2 x market rate of return
15.6% / 1.2 = market rate of return
market rate of return = 13%
