The Hewitt Company has calculated that their average collection period (ACP) is 25 days. They are hoping that the new cash discounts they have implemented will reduce the ACP. After one month, they have the following data: 60% pay in 15 days and 40% pay in 30 days. How much is the change in the ACP?

a. 4 days reduced
b. 4 days increased
c. 17 days increased
d. 21 days reduced

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 4 days reduced

Explanation:

Calculation for How much is the change in the ACP

First step is to calculate New Collection Period

New Collection Period =( 60% * 15 Days) + (40% * 30 Days )

New Collection Period=9 Days+12 Days

New Collection Period= 21 Days

Last step is to calculate Change in ACP using this formula

Change in ACP =Current Average Collection Period -New Collection Period

Let plug in the formula

Change in ACP = 25 Days - 21 Days

Change in ACP= 4 Days (Reduced)

Therefore the change in the ACP will reduced by 4 days

Snap On Inc has a beta of 2.67 and the expected market return is 0.19. In addition, Treasury bills (risk-free asset) are currently yielding 0.02. Find the expected return for Snap On Inc.

Answers

Answer: Expected Return = 0.47

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, The Capital Asset Pricing Model formulae , we have that  

Expected Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta(Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

Where

market return is 0.19

 Beta =2.67

risk-free asset= 0.02

Expected Return=0.02 +2.67 X (0.19 - 0.02)

=0.02 +2.67 X (0.17)

0.02 +0.4539

Required Return=0.47

Therefore Expected Return  for Snap On Inc is 0.47

Explain the difference between fixed and variable costs and give two examples of each. Can a company budget for variable costs? Explain

Answers

Answer:

Fixed cost in an organization does not change and is fixed while the variable cost keep changing if the production is increased.

Explanation:

Fixed cost are said to be that cost which does not change with production level for a certain limit. Let us suppose there is no change in the rent amount if we have only factory for the production of goods.

But the variable cost are those cost which increases as production increases. More will be the variable cost when the production will be more. Also for per unit basis, the variable cost remains the same.

Fixed cost are not important in decision making if there is an excess of capacity available.

For example,

Direct labor, direct material -- variable cost

Salary of supervisor, rent of factory -- fixed cost

Even though there is not much change in the variable cost, like for suppose material price increases, a company can still make a budget that is based on the past experience and predicting the market prices. Similarly, if there is a machine that uses three units of direct material for a piece if finished product, which is not going to change in the future. Thus the company can make a budget.

Sarah and Jane formed a partnership with capital contributions of $210,000 and $123,000, respectively. Peter contributed $86,000 to acquire an ownership interest of 12% in the new partnership. How much is the total bonus for the existing partners?

Answers

Answer:

$35,720

Explanation:

The computation of the total bonus for the existing partners is shown below;

Total capital is

= $210,000 + $123,000 +$86,000

= $419,000

Now

Share of new partner

= $419,000 × 12%

= $50,280

But the actual amount that needs to pay is $86,000

So, the bonus would be

= $86,000 - $50,280

= $35,720

Hence, the  total bonus for the existing partners is $35,720

1            1.75                 25%            2.1875         0.893              1.9534

2           2.1875             25%            2.7344        0.797               2.1793

TCM                                                48.3083      0.797               38.5017

                                                      Value of firm                        42.6344

Note: TCM = Terminal cash floe = 2.7344*(1.06) / 12% - 6% = 48.3083 million

2018 = $10,350

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight line method for the year 2017 and 2018 are shown below:

As we know that

The formula to compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is

= (Purchased Cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life

For 2017 year

= ($80,360 - $7,910) ÷ 7 year

= $10,350

The Dodd Corporation, has 100,000 shares of common stock owned by its founder. Dodd owes $1,300,000 to its bank. Dodd has 11,400 customers. If the average ratio of total entity value to customers is $500 for a group of comparable public companies, what is its estimated stock value on a per share basis?

Answers

Answer:

$44 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated stock value on a per share basis is shown below:

Total entity value is

= Total customer × average ratio

= 11,400 customers × $500

= $5,700,000

The value to the shareholder is

= Total value of the entity - debt

= $5,700,000 - $1,300,000

= $4,400,000

Now the estimated stock value on a per share basis is

= Value to the shareholder ÷ common stock shares

= $4,400,000 ÷ 100,000 shares

= $44 per share

If RetRyder issues additional preferred shares that pay exactly the same dividend and the investment banker retains 8.60 percent of the sale price, what is the cost of the new preferred shares for RetRyder?
What is the current price of preferred shares?

Answers

Answer:

Current price of preferred shares = P(ps)

= D/K(ps)

= $1.3 / 0.074

= 17.567568

= $17.56

Cost of preferred equity = Kps

= D / P(ps)*(1-f)

= $1.3 / $17.56(1 - 0.086)

= $1.3 / $16.04984

= 0.080998

Revenue from product Y is $6,000, variable costs are $4,000, and allocated fixed costs are $3,000. If you drop product Y in the long term, profit will:_____.a. increase by $2,000.b. increase by $1,000.c. decrease by $3,500.d. decrease by $100.e. decrease by $2,000.

Answers

Answer:

e. decrease by $2,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the profit is shown below:

Contribution margin = Sales revenue from product Y - variable cost

= $6,000 - $4,000

= $2,000

Since there is a contribution margin of $2,000 that absorbs the allocated fixed cost till $2,000 so in the case when the product is discontinued it falls the profit by $2,000

hence, the correct option is e.

A 7.05 percent coupon bond with 25 years left to maturity can be called in eight years. The call premium is one year of coupon payments. It is offered for sale at $1,075.85. What is the yield to call of the bond? (Assume interest payments are semiannual.)

Answers

Answer:

Yield to call is 5.88% annually

Explanation:

The rate of return bondholders receives on a callable bond until the call date is called Yield to call.

Yield to Call = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

It is assumed that face value of Bond is $1,000

C = Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 7.05% x 6/12 = $35.25

F = Face value = $1,000

P = Call price = $1,075.85

n -= number of periods to call = 8 x 2 = 16 periods

Yield to Call = [ $35.25 + ( $1,000 - $1075.85 ) / 16 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1075.85 ) / 2 ]

Yield to Call = [ $35.25 - 4.74 ] / $1,037.925

Yield to Call = $30.51 / $1,037.925

Yield to Call = 0.0294

Yield to Call = 2.94% semiannually

YTC = 2.94% x 12/6 = 5.88% annually
