Answer:
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 4 * (1+0.5) / (1+0.15) + 4 * (1+0.5)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
4 * (1+0.5)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 + [(4 * (1+0.5)^3 * (1+0.1) / (0.15 - 0.1)) / (1+0.15)^3]
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
First step is to calculate the preferred stock
Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%
Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%
Preferred stock=$120,000
Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2
Dividend Received=$80,000/2
Dividend Received=$40,000
Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

(55,500*$250) (50,200*$250)
Heavy weight winter coat 25,664,000 22,656,000 (3,008,000)
(80,200*$320) (70,800*$320)
Total sales revenue $39,539,000 $41,989,000 $2,450,000
b) The computations show that Clothing Company would earn additional $2,450,000 in revenue if it embarked on the new project of making and selling 35,700 lightweight winter coats.
The Baldwin Company has just purchased $40,900,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. Suppose at the end of 15 years this plant and equipment can be salvaged for $4,090,000 (1/10th of its original cost). What will be the book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use
Answer:
$38,446,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is in used in the business
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Depreciation expense = $2,454,000
Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
therefore for first year,
Book Value = $40,900,000 - $2,454,000 = $38,446,000
Conclusion
The book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use is $38,446,000
Misterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 24,000 U
Direct labor efficiency variance 120,000 U
Direct labor rate variance 10,400 U
Misterio applies variable overhead using a standard rate of $2 per direct labor hour allowed. Two direct labor hours are allowed per unit produced. (Only one type of product is manufactured.) During the quarter, Misterio used 30 percent more direct labor hours than should have been used.
Required:
1. What were the actual direct labor hours worked? The total hours allowed?
2. What is the standard hourly rate for direct labor? The actual hourly rate?
3. How many actual units were produced?
Answer:
1. Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
2. Standard hourly rate = $10
Actual rate = $10.2
3. Actual output= 20,000 units
Explanation:
The variable overhead efficiency variance in hours= variable overhead efficiency variance in Dollar/Variable overhead standard rate
= $24,000/$2= 12,000 hours unfavorable
Let the actual hours be V
Let the standard hours for the actual output achieved be = V
The actual hours worked = 130% of the standard hours allowed
Actual hours =130% × V = 1.3V
1.3V - V= 12,000
V=12000/0.3=40,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual labour hours= 130%× 40,000=52,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
Standard labour rate =
Labour effciency variance in Dollar /Labour efficiency variance in hours
= 120,000/12,000=$10
Standard hourly rate = $10
Rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate)× Actual hours
Let the actual rate be = Y
10,400 = ( Y - 10) × 52,000
10,400= 52000Y- 520,000
Y= (520,000 + 10,400)/52,000=10.2
Actual rate = $10.2
Standard labour hours for actual output = Actual output × standard hours
Let the actual output be = m
40,000 = m × 2
m= 40,000/2= 20,000 units
Actual output= 20,000 units
Blue Point Company is formulating its marketing expense budget for the month of September. Sales in units for August amounted to 4,000; sales volume in September is expected to increase by 10%. So far for the current year, fixed marketing expense per month amounted to $5,000 of salaries and $1,500 of depreciation. Variable marketing expense amount to $.15 paid in cash in the month of sale. What is the estimated cash payment for marketing expense in the month of September
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Computation of estimated cash payment expense is seen below
Variable expenses
Sales in unit for August 4,000
Sales in unit September 4,000 × 110% = 4,400
Total variable expense 4,400 × $0.15 = $660
Fixed expense per quarter
Salaries $5,000 × 3 = $15,000
Depreciation $1,500 × 3 = $4,500
Total = $19,500
Budget total = $20,160
Estimated cash payment = $20,160 - $4,500 = $15,660

After a meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decides that the state of the economy warrants actions to increase real interest rates. a. As a result of the increase in real interest rates, consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports will all . b. With the increase in real interest rates, output will , inflation will , and unemployment will . c. Each of the following situations would cause the FOMC to consider increasing rates except one. The exception is a negative output gap and low inflation. high inflation and a large positive output gap. a large positive output gap. high inflation.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. As a result of the increase in real interest rates, consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports will all (decrease).
When there is a rise in the interest rate, the coat if borrowing will increase as well, therefore, this will lead to the reduction in investment and consumption and there's also a reduction in the net exports.
b. With the increase in real interest rates, output will (decrease), inflation will (decrease) and unemployment will .(increase).
When the real interest rate increase, the output will reduce as well as inflation since there'll be reduction in demand for goods and services and hence unemployment rises.
c. The situation that can lead the FOMC to consider increasing rates include
• high inflation and a large positive output gap.
• a large positive output gap.
• high inflation
Therefore, the exception will be a negative output gap and low inflation.
Budget philosophies There are several important philosophies regarding budget balances. One way in which they differ is in terms of the time span over which the budget should be balanced. Another difference among budget philosophies involves whether the budget balance is as important as other economic goals. Which of the following budget philosophies advocates keeping the budget in balance every year, except during wartime?
Functional finance
Annually balanced budget
Cyclically balanced budget
A major problem with the implementation of this philosophy is that it:________
Magnifies business cycle fluctuations
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Relies upon government officials to budget for surpluses during boom times in order to cover deficits during recessions
Answer:
functional finance
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Explanation:
Functional finance is a theory developed by Abba P. Lerne during the World War II. It encourages the government's intervention in the economy to achieve its goals and reduce economic insecurity. It is the current budget philosophy in the US
Advantage
It allows the government to stabilise the economy using fiscal policy
Disadvantage
it encourages deficit spending and this can increase the debt of a country
Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure. this type of budget can magnify the business cycle.
A Cyclically balanced budget is when in a recession, the government makes use of expansionary fiscal policy and in a boom, the government makes use of a contractionary fiscal policy to stabilise the economy
Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $245,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $19,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower. The company is considering a $58,800 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios.
Required:
a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.
b. Repeat part (a) assuming that the company goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe?
Answer:
Sunrise, Inc.
a. Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios before debt is issued:
Scenarios EBIT EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $19,000 $3.80 ($19,000/5,000)
Expansion $23,750 $4.75 ($23,750/5,000) 25% ($0.95/$3.80 * 100)
Recession $11,400 $2.28 ($11,400/5,000) 40% ($1.52/$3.80 * 100)
b. After capitalization, Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios:
Repurchase of stock = $58,800/$49 = 1,200 shares
Outstanding shares = 3,800 (5,000 - 1,200)
Interest expense = $4,700 approx.
Net Income (taxes ignored) = $14,300
Scenarios Net income
Normal $14,300 ($19,000 - $4,700 Interest)
Strong Expansion $17,875 ($14,300 * 1.25)
Recession $8,580 ($14,300 * 0.60)
Scenarios Net income EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $14,300 $3.76 ($14,300/3,800)
Expansion $17,875 $4.70 ($17,875/3,800) 25% ($0.94/$3.76 * 100)
Recession $8,580 $2.25 ($8,580/3,800) 40% ($1.51/$3.76 * 100)
Observation:
The EPS changed under each scenario when the debt was issued, but the percentage changes remained similar to the changes before the debt issue. This can be attributed to the change in the outstanding shares from 5,000 to 3,800. With the debt issue, the EBIT is not used in the calculations but the income after taxes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market value = $245,000
Outstanding shares = 5,000
Market price per share = $49 ($245,000/5,000)
EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) = $19,000 (normal economic condition)
Scenarios EBIT
Normal $19,000
Strong Expansion $23,750 ($19,000 * 1.25)
Recession $11,400 ($19,000 * 0.60)
Debit issue = $58,800
Interest rate of debt = 8%

Knight forward, a division of King Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Knight forward division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $14,000 per year
Required:
What is the division’s ROI?
Answer:
20% and no
Explanation:
The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:
= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets
= $60,000 ÷ $300,000
= 20%
Now based on the investment and extra net operating income
The return on the investment is
= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets
= ($60,000 + $14,000) ÷ ($300,000 - $100,000)
= $74,000÷ $400,000
= 18.5%
Since this ROI would be less than the above ROI so the investment should not be made
Money serves three functions in the economy: medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. Which of the following statements describes how inflation affects the ability of money to serve as a unit of account? Check all that apply. Inflation causes menu costs. Inflation erodes money's purchasing power. In some countries with hyperinflation, prices are posted in terms of U.S. dollars rather than the local currency, even though the local currency is still used to purchase the good.
Answer:
Inflation causes menu costs.
In some countries with hyperinflation, prices are posted in terms of U.S. dollars rather than the local currency, even though the local currency is still used to purchase the good.
Explanation:
The inflation that cause menu cost and the hyperinflation would be treated as a unit of account because for menu cost, the seller have to change the cost because of changing in the price
On the other hand, because of the difference in the currencies, inflation would create a problem for measuring the currency units
And, the left one would be represent the store of value as the value of the money would be decrease when the inflation rate is increased
Money has three functions unit if accounts, storm of values and a medium of exchange. Modern economies use flat money that is not a community nor backed by the economy.
The inflation depicts the rise in procs and services and is a reason of the produces of goods and services in the economy. Inflation affects money by reducing the purchasing power of clients.Hence the option B is correct.

The company produced 6,050 units and sold 3,700 units at a price of $8.20 a unit. What is the amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end
Answer:
$13,395
Explanation:
Finished Goods Inventory = Production Cost x Ending Units / Units Produced
where,
Production Cost is Calculated as :
Consider only production costs.
Production Cost = $15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200 = $34,485
Ending Units = 6,050 units - 3,700 units = 2,350 units
Units Produced = 6,050 units
therefore,
Finished Goods Inventory = $34,485 x 2,350 units/ 6,050 units = $13,395

Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed
Explanation:
With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.

A new minor league baseball stadium is opening soon and the owner is only allowing local, family-owned restaurants to sell within the park. Two hotdog vendors are set to sell within the stadium: (i) The HOT Dog and (ii) Ballpark Frankies. The Baseball park necessitates that the vendors set their prices at the beginning of each season and then hold the price constant during the games that occur that season. The fans are not sensitive to the quality of the hotdog, just the price. The two vendors have every inclination to stay in the ballpark for the life of their firms, so imagine that this will be an infinitely repeated game. Based on relative prices, the potential payoffs for the season are listed below: The HOT Dog Ballpark Frankies Low Price High Price Low Price $10,000 , $10,000 $90,000 , -$3,000 High Price -$3,000 , $90,000 $20,000 , $20,000 Given the high current interest rate of 10%, The HOT Dog is considering to post a high price in the inaugural season and hope that Ballpark Frankies follows as well with a high price of their own. Evaluate if this is a risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Answer:
This is a very risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Explanation:
Seeing as how they must keep the price continuously throughout the season, if Frankies' sets a low price, The HOT Dog will lose almost all of their business.

b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES
Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.
Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.

Suppose you invest $20,000 by purchasing 200 shares of Abbott Labs (ABT) at $50 per share, 200 shares of Lowes Companies, Inc. (LOW) at $30 per share, and 100 shares of Ball Corporation (BLL) at $40 per share. Suppose over the next year Ball Corporation has a return of 12.5%, Lowes Companies has a return of 20%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%. The return on your portfolio over the year is:
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
Explanation:
The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the portfolio return is as follows,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stockFirst we need to calculate the investment of each stock,
Abbott = 200 * 50 = $10000
Lowes = 200 * 30 = $6000
Ball = 100 * 40 = $4000
Portfolio return = (10000 / 20000) * -0.10 + (6000/20000) * 0.20 +
(4000/20000) * 0.125
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
