Answer:
2%
Explanation:
Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100
= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100
= 18%
Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)
= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)
= 16%
Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return
Abnormal return = 18% - 16%
Abnormal return = 2%

Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. Here is an explanation on the steps to solve the problem.
Step 1 : Determine the Total Materials Cost
Total Materials Cost
Opening WIP cost $310,000
Costs added during the period $40500
Total $350,500
Step 2 : Total Equivalent units for materials
Equivalent units for materials = Completed units + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.
Step 3 : Unit equivalent cost for materials
Unit equivalent cost = Total Cost ÷ Total equivalent units
Step 4 : ending work in process inventory cost
Ending work in process inventory = Unit equivalent cost x equivalent units in ending work in process with respect to materials
The competitive industry of children's pajamas is in long-run equilibrium when a new government safety regulation raises the average cost of children's pajamas by $2 per pair. If this is a constant cost industry, then what happens to the price of children's pajamas in the long run?
Answer:
Long-run profits will remain the same.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
If the currency in circulation is $500 billion, the required reserve ratio is 5 percent, checkable deposits are $700 billion, and excess reserves total $10 billion, then the money multiplier for the M1 is
Answer:
2.35
Explanation:
The computation of the money multiplier for the M1 is shown below:
As we know that
Money supply(M1) = Currency in circulation + Checkable deposits
M1 money supply is = $500 billion + $700 billion
= $1,200 billion
Now the M1 money multiplier is
We know that
Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base
where,
Monetary base = Currency in circulation + Bank excess reserves
= $500 billion + $10 billion
= $510 billion
We know that,
Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base
= $1,200 ÷ $510
= 2.35

Soliman Corporation began the year 2018 with 25,000 shares of common stock and 5,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding. On May I, an additional 9,000 shares of common stock were issued. On July I, 6,000 shares of common stock were acquired for the treasury. On September I, the 6,000 treasury shares of common stock were issued. The preferred stock has a $4 per-share dividend rate, and each share may be converted into two shares of common stock. Soliman Corporation's 2018 net income is $230,000.
Required:
a. Compute earnings per share for 2018.
b. Compute diluted earnings per share for 2018.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share and the diluted earning per share is as follows;
a. The earning per share is
= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ outstanding shares
= ($230,000 - (5,000 × $4)) ÷ 30,000 shares
= $210,000 ÷ 30,000 shares
= $7 per share
b. The diluted earning per share is
= Earnings ÷ outstanding shares
= $230,000 ÷ (30,000 + (5,000 × 2)
= $5.75 per share
The 30,000 shares come from
Period Outstanding shares Fraction outstanding shares

A stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.35%. What is the risk-free rate if the market rate of return is 12.5%
Answer:
4.8%
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
16.35% = r + 1.5(12.5 - r)
16.35% = r + 18.75 - 1.5r
2.4 =0.5r
r = 4.8%

Betsy Union is the Pika Division manager and her performance is evaluated by executive management based on Division ROI. The current controllable margin for Pika Division is $46,000. Its current operating assets total $210,000. The division is considering purchasing equipment for $40,000 that will increase sales by an estimated $10,000, with annual depreciation of $10,000. If the equipment is purchased, what will happen to the return on investment for the division
Answer:
Pika Division
Betsy Union
The return on investment will reduce from 21.9% to 18.4%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current controllable margin = $46,000
Current operating assets = $210,000
Current return on investment = $46,000/$210,000 * 100 = 21.9%
Increase in sales as a result of the new equipment = $10,000
Increase in depreciation = $10,000
Operating assets after the purchase of the new equipment = $250,000 ($210,000 + $40,000)
Future controllable margin = $46,000 ($46,000 + $10,000 - $10,000)
Future return on investment = $46,000/$250,000 * 100
= 18.4%

Bonita Corporation had net income of $1550000 and paid dividends to common stockholders of $400000 in 2017. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in 2017 was 387500 shares. Bonita Corporation's common stock is selling for $48 per share on the NASDAQ. Bonita Corporation's price-earnings ratio is
Answer:
16 times
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Bonita Corporation's price-earnings ratio is
Price-earnings ratio= ($1550000 -$400000)/387500
Price-earnings ratio=$1,150,000/387500
Price-earnings ratio=2.97
Price-earnings ratio= 48/2.97
Price-earnings ratio=16 times
Therefore Bonita Corporation's price-earnings ratio is 16 times
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.
Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
a. Net present value = $539,013.67
b. Net present value = $273,361.47
Explanation:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42
Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 = $20,265.24
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67
b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47
Tradable permits are likely to result in less inefficiency, relative to a pollution tax, when ... a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. b. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. c. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. d. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. e. the marginal costs of damage are elastic and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are also elastic.
Answer:
a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.
Explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.
Offset trading refers to a type of trading system that is typically designed for the realization of more efficient pollution control.
This ultimately implies that, an offset trading is a strategic program that allows emerging business firms to pay existing business firms in order to significantly reduce their emissions or pollutants below a specific standard.
Free market in tradable pollution permits simply means giving manufacturing companies and individuals the legal right to pollution of the environment. For example, XYZ company is purchasing the permit of 500 units of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution annually, this simply means it is permitted to pollute the environment by 500 units of CO2 annually.
Additionally, a free market in tradable pollution permits has some sort of benefits as companies can resell their unused permits or devise a cheaper means of reducing pollution. It also compensate companies that significantly reduces its pollution of the environment.
A pollution tax can be defined as a type of tax imposed on business firms that causes pollution and damages to the environment. It is also referred to as Pigovian tax which is a tax on goods with negative externality.
Hence, tradable permits when compared with pollution tax are likely to result in less inefficiency, when the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.
Assume the total cost of a college education will be $184,061 when your child enters college in 19 years. You presently have $49,327 to invest. What annual rate of interest must you earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child's college education? Enter answer as 3 decimal places (e.g. 0.123)
Answer:
Interest rate = 0.9313
Explanation:
Future value or the cost of edcuation after 19 years = $184061
Present value, money in hand at present = $49327
Time period, n = 19
Future value = Present value (1 + r)²
184061 = 49327 (1 + r )²
(1 + r )² = 184061 ÷ 49327
(1 + r )² = 3.73
(1 + r) = √3.73
(1 + r) = 1.9313
r = 1.9313 - 1
r = 0.9313
Or Interest rate = 0.9313
Piedmont Company segments its business into two regions—North and South. The company prepared the contribution format segmented income statement as shown: Total Company North South Sales $ 800,000 $ 600,000 $ 200,000 Variable expenses 560,000 480,000 80,000 Contribution margin 240,000 120,000 120,000 Traceable fixed expenses 126,000 63,000 63,000 Segment margin 114,000 $ 57,000 $ 57,000 Common fixed expenses 54,000 Net operating income $ 60,000 Required: 1. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region. (For all requirements, round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
1. Companywide break-even point in dollar sales = $600,000
2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region = $315,000
3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region = $105,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following:
Total Company North South
Sales $ 800,000 $ 600,000 $ 200,000
Variable expenses 560,000 480,000 80,000
Contribution margin 240,000 120,000 120,000
Traceable fixed expenses 126,000 63,000 63,000
Segment margin 114,000 $ 57,000 $ 57,000
Common fixed expenses 54,000
Net operating income $ 60,000
Note that:
Break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio ………………… (1)
Therefore, we have:
1. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales.
Fixed cost = Total company’s traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses = $126,000 + $54,000 = $180,000
Contribution margin ratio = Total company’s Contribution margin / Total company’s Sales = $240,000 / $800,000 = 0.30
Using equation (1), we have:
Companywide break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $180,000 / 0.30 = $600,000
2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.
Fixed cost = North’s traceable fixed expenses = $63,000
Contribution margin ratio = North’s Contribution margin / North’s Sales = $120,000 / $600,000 = 0.20
Using equation (1), we have:
Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $63,000 / 0.20 = $315,000
3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Fixed cost = South’s traceable fixed expenses = $63,000
Contribution margin ratio = South’s Contribution margin / South’s Sales = $120,000 / $200,000 = 0.60
Using equation (1), we have:
Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $63,000 / 0.60 = $105,000
The "Danger Zone" is between what temperature range?
Answer:
41-135
Explanation:
Hello, there mate! The answer to this question is 41 - 135. In between these temperatures, bacteria flourishes the most. The ServSafe food guide states that the Danger Zone is 41 - 135 degrees, so you should not cook or store poultry or other foods in these temperatures. When you cook, it should be above 140, and when you freeze, it should be below 41. I hope I helped.

A security with only diversifiable risk has an expected return that exceeds the riskfree rate of return
State whether the following is inconsistent with an efficient capital market, the CAPM, or both:
Security with only diversifiable risk has an expected return that exceeds the riskfree rate of return
Answer:
This statement is inconsistent with both.
Explanation:
The statement made in the question is inconsistent with both the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and an efficient capital market because both models state that the cost of capital depends only on systematic risk or non-diversifiable risk. Thus the statement contradicts the models of the CAPM and Efficient Capital Market.
Determine the current yield on a corporate bond investment that has a face value of $1,000, pays 8 percent, and has a current price of $940.

Calculation to Determine the current yield on a corporate bond investment
First step
Amount of annual interest
=Face value × Interest rate
=$1,000 × 0.08
=$80
Now let calculate the Current yield
Current yield =Annual interest amount / Current price
=$80/ $940
=0.085, or 8.5%
Therefore the current yield on a corporate bond investment is 8.5%
Q7 If the dividend yield for year 1 is expected to be 7% based on a stock price of $30, what will the year 5 dividend be if dividends grow annually at a constant rate of 8% (in $ dollars)
Answer:
$2.86
Explanation:
Dividend yield = Dividend in year 1 / Price
0.07 = Dividend in year 1 / $30
Dividend in year 1 = $30 * 0.07
Dividend in year 1 = $2.1
Dividend in 5 years = Dividend in year 1 * (1+growth rate)^4
Dividend in 5 years = $2.1 * (1.08)^4
Dividend in 5 years = $2.1 * 1.36048896
Dividend in 5 years = $2.857026816
Dividend in 5 years = $2.86

Based on the information given, the NPV of the project will be calculated as the present value of cash flow earned minus the initial expenditure.
The present value of cash flow will be:
= 3/(1 + 15%)¹ + 3/(1 + 15%)² + 3/(1 + 15%)³
= 3/(1.15)1 + 3/(1.15)² + 3/(1.15)³
= 3/1.15 + 3/1.3225 + 3/1.520875
= 2.61 + 2.27 + 1.98
= $6.86 million
Then NPV will be:
= $6.86 million - $7 million
= -$1.14 million
Therefore, the correct option is "less than zero".
Isaac Inc. began operations in January 2021. For some property sales, Isaac recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Isaac recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments. In 2021, Isaac had $676 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:
2021 $83 million
2022 137 million
2023 129 million
2024 162 million
2025 165 million
$676 million
Assume that Isaac has a 25% income tax rate and that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes.
Required:
What deferred tax liability would Isaac report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet?
Answer:
$148.3 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet
Using this formula
Deferred tax liability=Total future taxable income × Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred tax liability=(2022 137 million+2023 129 million+2024 162 million+2025 165 million)*25%
Deferred tax liability=$593 million*25%
Deferred tax liability=$148.3 million
Therefore the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet is $148.3 million
A sum of $5,000 is invested for five years with varying annual interest rates of 9%, 8%, 12%, 6%, and 15%, respectively (for example, in the first year 9% interest is accrued and 8% in the second year and so on). The future amount after 5 years is equal to ____________.
Answer:
The future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the future value (FV) formula as follows:
FV after 1 year = Invested amount * (100% + Year 1 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,000 * (100% + 9%)^1 = $5,450.00
FV after 2 years = FV after 1 year * (100% + Year 2 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,450 * (100% + 8%)^1 = $5,886.00
FV after 3 years = FV after 2 years * (100% + Year 3 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,886 * (100% + 12%)^1 = $6,592.32
FV after 4 years = FV after 3 years * (100% + Year 4 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,592.32 * (100% + 6%)^1 = $6,987.86
FV after 5 years = FV after 4 years * (100% + Year 5 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,987.86 * (100% + 15%)^1 = $8,036.04
Therefore, the future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Note: The number of year used in each of the calculation above is 1 because the interest was changing after one year.
In the Marigold, maintenance costs are a mixed cost. At the low level of activity (40 direct labor hours), maintenance costs are $300. At the high level of activity (300 direct labor hours), maintenance costs are $1650. Using the high-low method, what is the variable maintenance cost per unit and the total fixed maintenance cost
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (1,650 - 300) / (300 - 40)
Variable cost per unit= $5.1923
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 1,650 - (5.1923*300)
Fixed costs= $92.31
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 300 - (5.1923*40)
Fixed costs= $92.31
Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $354,000. Its single product sells for $175 per unit, and variable costs are $116 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 354,000 / (175 - 116)
Break-even point in units= 6,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 354,000 / (59 / 175)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,050,000
Now, the margin of safety and margin of safety rate:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (10,000*175) - 1,050,000
Margin of safety= $700,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 700,000 / 1,750,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.4= 40%
