Blankenship Company operates a factory with two departments, X and Y. The utilities to heat and light the manufacturing facility would most likely be allocated to departments X and Y on the basis of:a. Square Footage occupiedb. Machine Hoursc. Direct labor hoursd. Units sold
Answer:
a. Square Footage occupied
Explanation:
Machine hours is the cost drive of utilities (cost object); it is not the basis of allocation. Direct labor hours is the cost drive of utilities (cost object); it is not the basis of allocation. Unit sold is the basis of allocation of advertising; it is not the allocation bases of utilities.
Utilities expenses such as heat, water, and lighting are generally allocated based area occupied by the department. Hence, the option “square footage occupied” is the correct answer.
Courageous, Inc. just paid a dividend of $1.80per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3 percent per year, indefinitely. If investors require a 12 percent return on Courageous stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in 3 years? In 15 years?
PART A:
Current Price: $____________.
PART B:
Price in Three Years: $____________.
PART C:
Price in Fifteen Years: $____________.
Answer:
P0 = $20.6
P3 = $22.5101762 rounded off to $22.51
P15 = $32.09412 rounded off to $32.09
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
Current Price
P0 = 1.8 * (1+0.03) / (0.12 - 0.03)
P0 = $20.6
Price in three years
To calculate the current price of P0 we use the dividend for Year 1 or D1. Similarly, to calculate the price in three years or P3, we will use D4.
P3 = 1.8 * (1+0.03)^4 / (0.12 - 0.03)
P3 = $22.5101762 rounded off to $22.51
Price in fifteen years
We will use D16.
P15 = 1.8 * (1+0.03)^16 / (0.12 - 0.03)
P15 = $32.09412 rounded off to $32.09
The just meaningful difference (JMD) refers to: A. The process by which consumers give humanlike characteristics to inanimate objects. B. The smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice. C. A situation where a stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same. D. The way in which consumers interpret information in ways that are biased by their previously held beliefs. E. The process of screening out certain stimuli and purposely exposing oneself to other stimuli.
Answer:
B. The smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice.
Explanation:
The just meaningful difference (JMD) refers to the smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice.
For instance, when the price of a particular product rises from $5.0 to $6.5, consumers wouldn't be motivated to buy such a product again and may choose to go for its close substitutes.
Hence, in marketing it is important to introduce a stimulus plan that will significantly increase consumer consumption and choice in order to increase sales and make profit.
Peter, has discovered another wine, wine D. Wine drinkers are willing to pay 45 dollars to drink it right now. The amount that wine drinkers are willing to pay will rise by 15 dollars each year that the wine ages. The interest rate is 10%. How much would Peter be willing to pay for the wine if he buys it as an investment? (Pick the closest answer.)
a. 76 dollars
b. 45 dollars
c. 150 dollars
d. 495 dollars
e. 71 dollars
Answer:
e. 71 dollars

In a year, there is an increase of $15 = $45 + $15 = $60
The interest rate of 10% of $60 = $6
Total = $66 ~ $70
Therefore, the amount he is willing to pay for the win if he buys it as investment would be 71 dollars.
Union local school district has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.2 percent paid semiannually and 16 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 3.7 percent and the bonds have a par value of $5,000. What is the dollar price of the bonds?
Answer:
Bond Price= $4,700.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
coupon rate= 0.032/2= 0.016
YTM= 0.037/2= 0.0185
Number of periods= 16*2= 32
Par value= $5,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 80*{[1 - (1.0185^-32)] / 0.0185} + (5,000/1.0185^32)
Bond Price= 1,919.05 + 2,781.10
Bond Price= $4,700.15
Answer:
4700.15
Explanation:
Using BA calculator:
N=2*16=32 (because semiannually)
I/Y=3.7%/2=1.85% (because semiannually)
PMT=3.2%/2*5000=1.6%*5000=80
FV=5000
Compute PV=4700.15

Abbey Co. issued a credit memo for $3,600 for merchandise returned that originally cost $1,700. Gomez Co. paid the invoice within the discount period. What is the amount of gross profit earned by Abbey Co. on the above transactions?
A- $10,500
B- $30,772
C- $7,972
D- $ 31,400
Answer:
Gross profit earned = $7,972
Explanation:
Net sales = $35,000 - 3,600
Net sales = $31,400
Merchandise cost = $24,500 - 1,700
Merchandise cost = 22,800
Discount allowed = [$31,400]2%
Discount allowed = 628
Gross profit earned = $31,400 - $22,800 - $628
Gross profit earned = $7,972

Suppose you buy a 7 percent coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued. If interest rates suddenly rise to 15 percent, what happens to the value of your bond?
a. the price of the bond will fall
b. the price of the bond will raise
Answer: a. the price of the bond will fall.
Explanation:
If one buys a 7% coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued and the interest rates suddenly rise to 15%, the value of the bond will decrease.
This is because there's an inverse relationship between price and interest rates, that is, the increase in one variable will lead to the decrease in the other variable. When there is a rise in the inters rate, it should be noted that the payments on fixed coupon are worth less.
Therefore, the price of the bond will fall.
15-9: Harris Company must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRs and costs of capital are as follows: Project A: Cost of capital: 17%; IRR: 20% Project B: Cost of capital: 13%; IRR: 14% Project C: Cost of capital: 7%; IRR: 9% Haris intends to maintain its 35% debt and 65% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $7,500,000. If Harris maintains its residual dividend policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends), what will its payout ratio be?
Answer:
Its payout ratio will be 22%
Explanation:
Residual dividend policy is a policy where a company uses the residual equity to fund dividend payments.
Accept Project A, B and C as they all have higher Cost of capital than the IRR
The total investment = $3,000,000 * 3 = $9,000,000
Dividend = Earnings - Investment in equity = $7,500,000 - 65%*$9,000,000 = $7,500,000 - $5,850,000 = $1,650,000
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend / Total earnings = $1,650,000 / $7,500,000 = 0.22 = 22%

When markets fail, public policya. can do nothing to improve the situationb. can potentially remedy the problem an increase economicefficiency.c. can always remedy the problem and increase economicefficiency.d. can in theory, remedy the problem, buy in practice, publicpolicy has proven to be ineffective
Answer:
b. can potentially remedy the problem an increase economic efficiency.
Explanation:
A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of output required to meet the demands of the consumers or customers.
This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.
Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.
Hence, when markets fail, public policy can potentially remedy the problem an increase economic efficiency.
Some of the public policy are pollution permits, government price controls, advertising etc.
Casey Electronics has a piece of machinery that costs $300,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 6 years or 40,000 hours. Residual value is expected to be $50,000.Using the units-of-production method, what is depreciation expense for the first year assuming it was used 6,000 hours?a) $37,500b) $70,000c) $81,000d) $41,667
Answer:
a) $37,500
Explanation:
In order to determine the depreciation for year 1 based on the units-of-production method, we apply the formula below:
Annual Depreciation= Depreciable Value × Units produced during the year /Estimated total production
Depreciable Value = Original cost – Scrap value
depreciable value=$300,000-$50,000=$250,000
Units produced during the year=6,000 hours
Estimated total production in hours=40,000 hours
first-year depreciation=$250,000*6000/40000
first-year depreciation=$ 37,500.00
Redesigned Computers has 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding with a current market price of $832. The yield to maturity is 16.28 percent and the face value is $1,000. Interest is paid semiannually. How many years is it until these bonds mature? A. 2.10 years B. 4.19 years C. 7.41 years D. 9.16 years E. 18.32 years
Answer:
A. 2.10 years
Explanation:
Use following formula to calculate the numbers of years to maturity of the bond.
Price of the bond = [ Periodic Coupon payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic yield to maturity ] + [ Face value / ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^numbers of periods
where
Price of the bond = $832
Periodic Coupon payment = $1,000 x 6.5% x 6/12 = $32.5
Periodic yield to maturity = 16.28% x 6/12 = 8.14%
Face value = $1,000
Numbers of periods = ?
Placing values in the formula
$832 = [ $32.50 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 8.14% )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic 8.14% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 8.14% )^numbers of periods ]
Numbers of periods = 4.20 period
Numbers of years = 4.20 x 12/6 = 2.10 years

Investment in an equipment project yields a net present worth of (–$150) at 15% interest rate and $95 at 20% interest rate. Calculate the internal rate of return on this investment.
Answer:
18.067%
Explanation:
Let , i = 15% , then NPV = -$150 ,
When i = 20%, NPV = $95 A
At IRR , let the NPV = 0
Now, using the linear interpolation method we get
20% - 15%/ IRR -15 = 95-(-150) / 0-(-150)
20% - 15%/ IRR -15 = 245 / 150
5 / IRR -15 = 1.63
1/IRR -15 = 0.326
1/0.326 = IRR - 15
3.067 = IRR -15
IRR = 3.067+ 15
IRR = 18.067%

Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.) Average days in inventory ______ days c. Calculate the gross profit ratio. Gross profit ratio ________ %
Answer:
Inventory Quantity Unit Cost NRV
Ski Jackets 20 $115 $95
Skis 25 $300 $350
Ending inventory = (20 x $95) + (25 x $300) = $9,400
a) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $180,000 / [($55,000 + $45,000)/2] = $$180,000 / $50,000 = 3.6
b) average days in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 3.6 = 101.39 days
c) gross profit ratio = gross profit / net sales = ($250,000 - $180,000) / $250,000 = $70,000 / $250,000 = 0.28 = 28%
Martinez Corporation purchased machinery on January 1, 2022, at a cost of $268,000. The estimated useful life of the machinery is 4 years, with an estimated salvage value at the end of that period of $31,800. The company is considering different depreciation methods that could be used for financial reporting purposes.
(SEE PICTURE)
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
1. Depreciation using the straight-line method.
Under the straight-line method, depreciation is a constant figure in every year of an asset's useful life.
The calculation of depreciation expense is by establishing the depreciable amount, which is the asset cost minus salvage value.
Depreciable amount = Asset cost - Salvage value.
In this case
Depreciable amount = $268,000 - $31,800
=$236,200
The depreciation rate = 1/4 x 100 = 25%
Depreciation per year
=25/100 x $236,200
=$59,050
year Depreciable cost rate Amount
2022 $236,200 25% $59,050
2023 $236,200 25% $59,050
2024 $236,200 25% $59,050
2025 $236,200 25% $59,050

Pule purchases four bottles of bathroom cleaner for $3 each. The maximum prices she would have been willing to pay for each bottle are $6 for the first bottle, $5 for the second bottle, $4 for the third bottle, and $3 for the fourth bottle. The marginal cost of producing the bottles is $2.50. What is Pule's consumer surplus on the third bottle of bathroom cleaner?a. $.50 b. $6c. $1d. $0
Answer:
The correct answer is:
$1 (d)
Explanation:
A consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what they are able to pay for a particular good or service. It is simply the extra benefit gained by the consumer for paying lesser for a good or service than what they actually intended to pay. Based on this, it is noticed that consumer surplus tends to increase as the market price of goods/services fall, and reduce as their price increases. It is represented mathematically as:
Consumer surplus = (Price willing to pay) - (Actual price paid)
In this example, the consumer surplus is calculated thus:
price willing to pay for third bottle = $4
Price paid = $3
Consumer surplus = 4 - 3 = $1
Calculate the yield to maturity of a zero coupon bond with a face value (par value) of $1,000, maturing in 15 years and selling for a price of $525.75.a. 5.62%.b. 4.38%.c. 8.74%.d. 15.26%.e. 16.27%.
Answer:
YTM = 0.043793 or 4.3793% rounded off to 4.38%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a zero coupon bond is as follows,
YTM = [ (( F / PV)^1/n) - 1 ]
Where,
F is the Face value of the bond
PV is the current value of the bond
n is the number of years to maturity
YTM = [ (( 1000 / 525.75)^1/15) - 1 ]
YTM = 0.043793 or 4.3793% rounded off to 4.38%
