Answer:
Present value = $428571.4286 rounded off to $428571.43
Explanation:
To determine how much should be paid for the policy today, we must calculate the present value of perpetuity. The policy returns are in the form of a perpetuity as they are paid in a constant amount after equal intervals of time and for an indefinite time period. The formula for the present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Cash flows / r
Where,
r is the required rate of returnPresent value = 27000 / 0.063
Present value = $428571.4286 rounded off to $428571.43

Utopia has a national debt. If they have a budget deficit this year, and continue to operate with budget deficits year after year, what will happen to their national debt?A. Their national debt will decrease.
B. Their national debt will increase.
C. Their national debt will remain the same.
D. They will now have a budget surplus.
Answer: B. Their national debt will increase.
Explanation:
A country has a budget deficit when it spends more than it receives from its revenue sources i.e taxes.
If a country has a budget deficit, it will have to borrow money in order to pay for this shortfall so that it may be able to carry out the expenditure it is supposed to.
If therefore, a country keeps operating in deficit, it will have to keep borrowing to keep spending which means that the national debt will keep increasing.

FICA taxes)
Note that FICA taxes includes :
Social Security tax = 6.2%
Medicare tax on earnings=1.45%
Let plug in the formula
Gross amount=$500/(1-22%-6.2%-1.45%)
Gross amount=$500/(1-14.35%)
Gross amount=$500/0.1335
Gross amount= $3,745.32
Therefore the gross amount of each bonus check would be $3,745.32

RetRyder Hand Trucks has a preferred share issue outstanding that pays a dividend of $1.30 per year. The current cost of preferred equity for RetRyder is 7.40 percent. 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?
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
= 8.09%

A large life insurance company has decided to switch from using a strong fear appeal to a humorous approach. What are the strengths and weaknesses of such a change in message strategy?
Answer:
Explanation:
A fear approach is meant to scare people and make them aware that they are only human and that bad things can happen. This would push them towards buying the insurance package. A humorous approach would focus more and a funny message of why it is important. This change would be targetting the same audience but with a completely opposite message which may not reach people the same way, especially if those individuals do not like the humor aspect of it and are not longer scared from the previous fear strategy that the company would have had.
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?
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

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.
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
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.
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.)
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
