KJ Pharma issues new bonds to fund an acquisition. The face value of the bond is $100 and annual coupon is 6.5%. Further, this bond matures in 20 years and is issued at a price of $105. Assuming KJ Pharma's tax rate is 30%, what is its After-Tax Cost of Debt

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4.24%

Explanation:

The computation of the after tax cost of debt is given below:

But before that we have to determine the before tax of debt by using RATE formula

Given that

Future value be $100

Present value be $105

PMT is $100 × 6.5%  = $6.5

NPER is 20

The formula is

=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 6.06%

Now the after tax cost of debt is

= 6.06% × (1 - 0.30)

= 4.24%

If a firm is privately owned, and its stock is not traded in public markets, then we cannot measure its beta for use in the CAPM model, we cannot observe its stock price for use in the dividend growth model, and we don't know what the risk premium is for use in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. All this makes it especially difficult to estimate the cost of equity for a private company. True False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Beta enables us to be able to calculate the risk of a stock in relation to how the market is moving. This is known as the systematic risk. Beta, needs to be calculated on based on the trading data of the stock.

If the stock is not publicly traded, it would not have the trading data required to find the beta. As we cannot get the beta, we would be unable it to calculate the return on stock and therefore the dividend growth model.

In order to calculate the amount of money needed to maintain a standard of living 20 years from now, you attempt to calculate an FV (20 years from now) of today's living expenses. What would be most appropriate for you to use as the interest rate?
Money market rate
Expected inflation rate
Average market rates of return
Average market return + inflation

Answers

Answer:

Expected inflation rate

Explanation:

Expected Inflation rate would be the most appropriate rate to use as interest rate in the calculation because it gives a somewhat accurate picture of how prices will behave in the coming years, and therefore, of how cost of living will evolve, and how much money will be needed to maintain your living standards 20 years from now.

Expected inflation is never a completely accurate measure though, and it can be sensitive to economic or political shocks, so it should be used with caution and keeping that in mind.

Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the future value of an ordinary annuity?
1) PMT x {1 – [1/(1 + r)nn]}/r
2) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}
3) FV/(1 + r)nn
4) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r} x (1 + r)

Answers

Answer:

b.  PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}

Explanation:

The formula that should be calculated for the future value of an ordinary annuity is shown below:

= PMT × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r}

Here

PMT denotes the coupon payment

r denotes the rate of interest

n denotes the time period

So as per the given situation, the option b is correct

Group of answer choices

D. 18.01 percent

C. 17.78 percent

B. 18.24 percent

A. 15.32 percent

Answers

Answer:

18.24

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term

sustainable growth rate = retention rate x ROE  

b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends

Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio =

payout ratio = dividend / net income

retention rate = 1 - $44,640 / 72,000 = 0.38

Return on equity = net income / average total equity

= 72,000 / 150,000 = 0.48

g = 0.48 x 0.38 = 18.24%

6. Guillermo and Nora adopted a little boy in 2020 and incurred a total of $18,000 qualified adoption expenses. Their modified AGI is $220,000. What is the amount of adoption credit they can take

Answers

Answer:

Guillermo and Nora

The amount of adoption credit that they can take is limited to:

= $14,300 in 2020.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Modified AGI of Guillermo and Nora = $220,000

Total amount of qualified adoption expenses incurred in 2020 = $18,000

Limit of adoption credit available to the couple in 2020 = $14,300

Lost adoption expenses = $3,700 ($18,000 - $14,300)

b) The couple will not be able to take adoption credit amounting to $3,700 because the amount they spent on adoption expenses exceeded the adoption credit limit for 2020.

Wallaby Kite Company, a small Melbourne firm that sells kites on the Web, wants a master budget for the three months beginning January 1, 2012. It desires an ending minimum cash balance of $20,000 each month. Sales are forecast at an average wholesale selling price of $8 per kite. Merchandise costs average $4 per kite. All sales are on credit, payable within 30 days, but experience has shown that 60 percent of current sales are collected in the current month, 30 percent in the next month, and 10 percent in the month thereafter. Bad debts are negligible.
In January, Wallaby Kite is beginning just-in-time (JIT) deliveries from suppliers, which means that purchases will equal expected sales. On January 1, purchases will cease until inventory decreases to $24,000, after which time purchases will equal sales. Purchases during any given month are paid in full during the following month. Monthly operating expenses are as follows:
Wages and salaries....$60,000
Insurance expired...........500
Depreciation.................1,000
Miscellaneous.............10,000
$1,000/month + 10% of quarterly sales over
Rent...........................$40,000
Cash dividends of $6,000 are to be paid quarterly, beginning January 15, and are declared on the 15th of the previous month. All operating expenses are paid as incurred, except insurance, depreciation, and rent. Rent of $1,000 is paid at the beginning of each month, and the additional 10 percent of sales is paid quarterly on the 10th of the month following the end of the quarter. The next rent settlement date is January 10.

A measure of risk-adjusted performance that is often used is the Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe ratio is calculated as the risk premium of an asset divided by its standard deviation. The standard deviations and returns of the funds over the past 10 years are listed here. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for each of these funds. Assume that the expected return and standard deviation of the company stock will be 16 percent and 58 percent. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for the company stock. How appropriate is the Sharpe ratio for these assets? When would you use the Sharpe ratio?

10-YEAR ANNUAL RETURN STANDARD DEVIATION
Bledsoe S&P 500 Index Fund 10.15% 23.85%
Bledsoe Small Cap Fund 14.83 29.62
Bledsoe Large Company Stock Fund 11.08 26.13
Bledsoe Bond Fund 8.15 10.34

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Sharpe ratio is the measure of the excess return per unit of risk in an investment asset or trading strategy.

To calculate the Sharpe of the following annual return using the formula:

Sharpe ratio = [tex]\dfrac{R_p-R_f}{\sigma _p}[/tex]

where;

[tex]R_p[/tex] = return of portfolio asset

From the given information, the risk-free rate [tex]R_f[/tex] wasn't given, So let's assume that the risk-free rate  [tex]R_f[/tex] = 3.2%

For Bledsoe S&P 500 Index fund

Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{10.15\%-3.2\%}{23.85\%}[/tex]

= 0.2914

Small-cap Funs Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{14.83\%-3.2\%}{29.62\%}[/tex]

= 0.3926

Large company stock Fund Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{11.08\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}[/tex]

= 0.3016

Bond Fund Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{8.15\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}[/tex]

= 0.1894

                          10-Year                    Standard       Sharpe Ratio

                           Annual Return        deviation

Bledsoe S&P -      10.15%                    23.85%           0.2914    

500 Index fund

Small Cap Fund     14.83%                  29.62%           0.3926

Large Company -   11.08%                       26.13%         0.3016

Stock Fund      

Bond Fund              8.15%                        10.34%          0.1894      

As depicted in the table above, the small-cap fund has the highest return per unit of risk, and company stock has the lowest return per unit of risk.

The ratio is clearly appropriate for the index funds. The whole risk is reflected by the Sharpe ratio, which is believed to be completely diversified, and systemic risk is reduced.

It is good for other stock funds since the overall risk is crucial for small investors who cannot readily diversify.

It is also acceptable to invest in bond funds since we may compare their Sharpe ratio to stock funds and take a financial investment decision.

We would take and make use of the Sharpe ratio when:

Comparing various assets with differing risks, then the Sharpe ratio would be applied to alter the "unit."We are concerned about any type of volatility.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Competitive and corporate strategy are very important for the success and good management of a business. Competitive strategy is one that allows a company to promote elements capable of making it different from its competitors. Examples of competitive strategy are offering lower prices, higher quality products and negotiation between customers.

Corporate strategy, on the other hand, is one that allows the company to generate elements that will increase its profit and strengthen its capacity to be more competitive. Examples of this type of strategy are the acquisition of subsidiary companies, the merger of competing companies and the restructuring of the company.

While the evidence suggests that over long periods of time that stocks will outperform bonds, individuals with a long-term investment horizon may still choose to invest in bonds. Is this rational behavior? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Stocks and Bonds

Yes.  It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."

Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.

Explanation:

Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it.  Every investor is also aware that  investments with higher risks attract higher returns.  However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.

Angle Company started business on January 1. During the year, the company purchased merchandise with an invoice price of $500,000. Angle also paid $20,000 freight on the merchandise. During the year, Angle also returned $80,000 of the merchandise to its suppliers. All purchases were paid for in a timely manner, and a $10,000 cash discount was taken. $418,000 of the merchandise was sold for $627,000. What is the December 31 balance in the Inventory account

Answers

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below

= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken

= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000

= $12,000

Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000

Assume that you have a three-year-old daughter and you have come to appreciate the power of saving and investing. Can you open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name so that she can benefit from many years of compounding

Answers

Answer:

No.

You cannot open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name.

Explanation:

The IRS allows that any child, regardless of age, can contribute to an IRA if they have earned income.  This means that only a child that has earned income can have an IRA opened for him or her.  As the child is still underage, the IRA must be set up as a custodial account by the parent or another adult. This implies that the child cannot operate the account during the period she is underage but can have money saved in the account from her earned income.

Top Knot, Inc. is expected to pay a $2.50 per share dividend next year. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 5% growth rate forever. If the stock currently sells for $48 per share, what is the cost of equity

Answers

Answer:

10.21

Explanation:

Dividend= 2.50

The growth rate is 5%

The current stock price is $48

Therefore the cost of equity can be calculated as follows

= 2.50/48 +5/100

= 0.0521 + 0.05

= 0.1021×100

= 10.21

Hence the cost of equity is 10.21

n = 40 periods

FVIFA = [(1 + 0.097)⁴⁰ - 1] / 0.097 = 407.9960231

annual savings = $1,000,000 / 407.9960231 = $2,451.00

b. FV = $1,000,000

rate = 9.7%

n = 30 periods

FVIFA = [(1 + 0.097)³⁰ - 1] / 0.097 = 155.4306295

annual savings = $1,000,000 / 155.4306295 = $6,433.74

FV = $1,000,000

rate = 9.7%

n = 20 periods

FVIFA = [(1 + 0.097)²⁰ - 1] / 0.097 = 55.35978429

annual savings = $1,000,000 / 55.35978429 = $18,063.65

Passage: Excerpt from "A Cooking Revolution:How Clean Energy and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives" by Chef Jose Andres, June 7, 2016.) Cooking: it's a simple act that has brought families around the world together for thousands of years. As a chef, I can think of few things more beautiful than that. However, I also know how deadly such a simple act can be, not only to our health, but to our environment. Think about it: For Americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or switch. For people living in developing countries, particularly women and childern, it means hours of collecting fuels like firewood, dung, or coal to burn in a rudimentary, smoky cookstove or over an open fire. The result is a constant source of toxic smoke that families breathe in daily causing diseases like child pneumonia, heart disease, and lung cancer, not to mention taking a child away from her education. In fact, diseases caused by smoke from open fires and stoves claim 4.3 million lives every year. That's more than AIDS , malaria. and tuberculosis combined. And the environment suffers, too. When people collect wood every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for wood - burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and other environmental consequences. These stoves also contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change. You see, from what we cook to how we cook, our foods connects with our lives on so many levels. That's why having access to better technology and clean energy for cooking is as equally important as the ingredients in the food being prepared. It's also why I'm proud to support an effort to bring clean cookstoves and fuels to millions of people in developing countries.
