Answer:
B. 10.8%
Explanation:
To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million
The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million
To get the weight of equity= 450/600
To get the weight of debt = 150/600
we have Ke as cost of equity= 13%
Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%
Then the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)
= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%
This gives us
= 9.75% + 1.05%
Therefore the answer is
= 10.80%
So the option B is correct
Luther's unlevered cost of capital is closest to 10.8%. Therefore, correct response here is option B.
What is the term cost of capital about?
A cost of capital refers to as a return that a company needs to earn in order to achieve the cost of capital of particular project.
Solution:
To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million
The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million
To get the weight of equity= 450/600
To get the weight of debt = 150/600
Ke as cost of equity= 13%
Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%
Then, the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)
Weighted average cost of capital= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%
Weighted average cost of capital= 9.75% + 1.05%
Weighted average cost of capital=10.80%

You decide to invest $20,500 in Bank of America and $14,500 in Twitter. What is the portfolioâs beta? Bank of America beta: 1.27 Twitter beta: 1.96
Answer:
Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio containing two stock is as follows,
Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B
Where,
w is the weight of each stock
As the investment in Stock of Bank of America is 20500 and the investment in stock of Twitter is 14500, the total investment in the portfolio will be,
Total investment = 20500 + 14500 = 35000
Portfolio Beta = 20500 / 35000 * 1.27 + 14500 / 35000 * 1.96
Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56

If any portion of a long-term debt is to be paid in the next year, the entire debt should be classified as a current liability. A. True B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The portion of a long term liability that is due within one year is called current portion of long-term debt (CPLTD). The name basically explains everything. E.g. you owe a note receivable worth $100,000 and every year you must pay an installment of $10,000 plus interest. The CPLTD (current liability) = $10,000, and the long term debt = $90,000.

Answer Answer Answer
Answer:
a) the issue price of the bonds was $554,861:
PV of face value = $600,000 / (1 + 6%)⁴⁰ = $58,333
PV of coupon payments = $33,000 x 15.046 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 40 periods) = $496,518
market price = $554,851 which is close enough to verify the issue price (the $10 difference is probably due to a rounding error).

The most recent price activity in this chart is a quadruple top breakout. The box size is $0.50 and the reversal size is three boxes. What is the price objective for the breakout using the horizontal count method?a. $19.00b. $21.50c. $12.50d. $22.00
Answer:
a. $19.00
Explanation:
Note: The graph is as attached below
The low of the column where a quadruple top breakout occurs is $8.5 and width is 7 and box size is 0.5
The width of the pattern is 7 which is multiplied by 0.5 which is the box size and the reversal size of 3 for an Extension estimate (7 x 0.5 x 3 = $10.5).
Now, $10.5 is added to the low of the column and hence price objective is $10.5 + $8.5 = $19
What is the break even quantity for the following situation? FC is $1,200 per week, Variable cost is $2 per unit and Revenue is $6 per unit.A) 100.
B) 200.
C) 600.
D) 1,200.
E) 300.
Answer:
he Break-even quantity is 300 units.
Explanation:
The computation of the break even quantity is shown below
Given that
Fixed costs, FC = $1,200 per week
Variable costs, VC = $2 per unit
Revenue = $6 per unit
Based on the above information
Let us assume the break-even quantity be Z
As we know that
Total Costs = Total Revenue
Fixed costs + Variable costs = Price per unit × Quantity sold
$1,200 + ($2 x Z) = ($6 × Z)
1200 + 2Z = 6Z
4Z = 1200
Z = 300
Hence, the Break-even quantity is 300 units.

g A decline in the quantity of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve is a result of a(n):
Answer:
Increase in the price level.
Explanation:
A decline in the quantity of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve is a result of an increase in the price level.
This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
According to the law of demand which states that, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good.

In the previous problem, suppose the project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $150,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $185,000 at the end of the project. What is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
You didn't tell us the previous problem you are talking about but let me help out.
The project’s Year 0 net cash flow will be calculated as:
= - Initial cost in fixed assets - Net working capital
Since we already know that our net working capital is $150,000, let's assume that the initial cost in fixed assets given in your previous problem is $2,000,000.
Therefore, the project’s Year 0 net cash flow will be:
= -2,000,000 - 150,000
= -2,150,000

Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%?
Answer:
the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) is $0.56
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of growth opportunities is shown below:
= Price per share - (Earnings ÷ required rate of return)
= $41 - ($3.64 ÷ 9%)
= $41 - $40.44
= $0.56
hence, the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) is $0.56
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $91,800 in 2022. However, ending inventory was understated $7,800. What is the correct net income for 2022?
Answer:
$99,600
Explanation:
If the ending inventory was understated that means that they have less of the inventory than they had originally expected, this means that they sold more than they have calculated and therefore have not included the $7,800 in the net income. Therefore, we would need to add this amount to the actual reported net income to get the correct net income for 2022...
$91,800 + $7,800 = $99,600
The correct net income for 2022 is $99,600
Consider the estimated equation from your textbook: Test Score = 698.9 - 2.28 times STR, R^2 = 0.051, SER = 18.6 (10.4) (0.52) The t-statistic for the slope is approximately: a) 67.20. b) 4.38. c) 1.76. d) 0.52.
Answer:
b) 4.38
Explanation:.
Calculation for the t-statistic for the slope
Using this formula
Slope = Regression equation / Standard Error
Let plug in the formula
Slope= 2.28 / .52
Slope = 4.38
Therefore the t-statistic for the slope is approximately 4.38
Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $14,500 per year, pays annual rent of $7,500 for his shop, and spends $18,000 per year on materials. He has $40,000 of his own funds invested in equipment (pottery wheels, kilns, and so forth) that could earn him $5,000 per year if alternatively invested. He has been offered $23,000 per year to work as a potter for a competitor. He estimates he could use his talents to earn an additional $6,000 per year in consulting fees if he were working full time as a potter. Total annual revenue from pottery sales is $86,000.
Instructions:
A. Calculate the accounting profit for Gomez’s pottery firm.
B. Now calculate Gomez's economic profit.
Answer:
Gomez
Accounting Vs. Economic Profit
Accounting profit:
Sales revenue $86,000
Business cost 40,000
Profit $46,000
Economic profit:
Accounting profit $46,000
Opportunity cost 34,000
Profit $ 12,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual Wages for helper = $14,500
Annual Rent = $7,500
Annual Direct materials = $18,000
Business cost = $40,000
Funds investment = $40,000
Opportunity cost (alternative option)
Interest on funds = $5,000
Wages 23,000
Consulting fees 6,000
Total opportunity costs = $34,000
Total annual sales revenue = $86,000
b) Gomez's economic profit equals the accounting profit minus the expenses incurred for lost opportunities (alternative uses) of resources. This means that the economic profit is always less than the accounting profit, which does not consider opportunity costs.
Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 9,000 units per year for $8.00 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:
Direct materials $5.00
Direct labor 1.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $9.00
Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 70 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.
Required:
a. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
b. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
1. The level of production for the subject analysis is 9,000 units per year
Options for outsourcing
Variable unit costs = $8.00
Unavoidable unit fixed costs = 70% × $2 = $1.4
Total : $8 + $1.4 = $9.4 per unit
In house option:
Direct materials = $5
Direct labor = $1
Variable manufacturing overhead = $1
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $2
Total : $9
The cost of buying the umbrella outside is $9.4 , which is $0.4 higher than making it in-company.
2. Mohave should continue to make the tote bags instead of buying them.
