Answer:
(a) $5.353; $2.1412
(b) $30.59
Explanation:
Given that,
Year Earnings per Share
20X1 $4.00
20X2 $4.24
20X3 $4.49
20X4 $4.76
20X5 $5.05
Dividends = 40 percent of earnings
Constant growth rate for earnings:
= [tex]\frac{EPS\ for\ any\ year}{EPS\ for\ the\ previous\ year} - 1[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.24}{4} - 1[/tex]
= 1.06 - 1
= 0.06 or 6%
(a) EPS for 20X6:
= EPS for 20X5 × (1 + 6%)
= $5.05 × 1.06
= $5.353
Dividend for 20X6:
= 40% × EPS for 20X6
= 40% × $5.353
= $2.1412
(b) Given that,
Required rate of return (Ke) = 13 percent
Stock Price at the beginning of 20X6:
[tex]=\frac{Dividend\ for\ 20X6}{(Required\ rate\ of\ return - Constant\ growth\ rate)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2.1412}{(0.13 - 0.06)}[/tex]
= $30.59

ABC assumes all costs in a ________ can be grouped together because they all impact the activity.
(A) cost pool.
(B) department.
(C) time period.
(D) organization.
(E) product line.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": cost pool.
Explanation:
Activity-Based Costing or ABC is a managerial accounting method used to assign some indirect costs to the products which incur the bulk of those costs. By doing so, it is assumed that all those costs in the cost pool can be bundled because they are relevant for production. In the manufacturing sector, ABC is mainly used to help measure the true cost of production per unit.
A & D Window Cleaning performed $450 of services but has not yet billed customers for the month. If A & D fails to record the adjusting entry, what is the impact on the financial statements?

The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 6%, with interest paid semi-annually, and matures in 5 years. If the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's value today
Answer:
Coupon = (0.06 multiply with 1000) / 2 = 30
Rate = 8% divide by 2 = 4%
The Number of periods = 5 multiply with 2 = 10
Bonds value = 918.89
Keys to use in a financial calculator:
Face Value = 1000
I/Y = 4
PMT = 30
N = 10
CPT PV
Thus, the value of bond = $918.89
Final answer:
To calculate the current bond value, we must find the present value of the semi-annual interest payments and the face value, then sum them up. The present value, using a market yield of 8%, suggests that the bond's value today is approximately $918.89.
Explanation:
To calculate the current value of a bond, we must discount future cash flows (interest payments and the face value repayment at maturity) to their present value using the yield as the discount rate. For an ABC bond with a 6% coupon rate, $1,000 face value, that pays interest semi-annually and matures in 5 years, with a market yield of 8%, the present value must be determined.
First, calculate the semi-annual interest payment: $1,000 × 6% × 0.5 = $30. There are 10 semi-annual periods in 5 years. Now, we discount each semi-annual payment and the face value at the market yield compounded semi-annually.
Present Value of Interest Payments = $30 × [(1 - (1 + 4%)-10) / 4%] = $30 × 8.1109 = $243.327
Present Value of Face Value = $1,000 × (1 + 4%)-10 = $1,000 × 0.6756 = $675.56
Adding both present values, we have: $243.327 + $675.56 = $918.887. Thus, the bond's value today is approximately $918.89.
While there are intense debates among macroeconomists regarding the effectiveness of expansionary fiscal policy during a severe recession, both the Keynesian and non-Keynesian economists agree that fiscal policy is subject to some limitations as a stabilization tool.
Which of the following issues do most macroeconomists widely agree upon?
a. An increase in government spending will not stimulate aggregate output during a recession.
b. Government should increase its spending during a severe recession because the crowding-out will be minimal and will not negatively affect long-term growth.
c. Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view.
Answer:C
Explanation:
Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view
Most macroeconomists widely agree that discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than implied by the early Keynesian view. The correct answer is option c. Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view.
Most macroeconomists widely agree on this issue because empirical evidence has shown that discretionary fiscal policy, while capable of influencing aggregate demand in theory, faces challenges in practice. Factors such as lags in implementation, uncertainty about the effectiveness of specific policies, and political constraints often limit the ability of policymakers to timely and accurately implement fiscal measures.
Additionally, changes in government spending and taxation can have unintended consequences, such as inflationary pressures or inefficient resource allocation, which may offset the intended stabilization effects.
Therefore, despite the theoretical potential of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy, its practical limitations lead most macroeconomists to agree that discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than initially suggested by the early Keynesian view.

--to record issuance of shares for land --
Cash 49,500 debit
Common Stock 49,500 credit
--to record issuance of no-par stock--
Explanation:
We will compare the amount collected from the shares issued against the face value to get the amount of additional paid-in:
3,100 shares x $10 = 31,000
we collect $ 49,500
additional paid-in 18,500
When there is a no-par value we post the entire amount against common stock.

Assume a major investment service has just given Oasis Electronics its highest investment rating, along with a strong buy recommendation. As a result, you decide to take a look for yourself and to place a value on the company's stock. Here's what you find: This year, Oasis paid its stockholders an annual dividend of $3.66 a share, but because of its high rate of growth in earnings, its dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 12% a year for the next 4 years and then to level out at 8 % a year. So far, you've learned that the stock has a beta of 1.64, the risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market is 11%. Using the CAPM to find the required rate of return, put a value on this stock.
Answer: 14.2
Explanation:
CAPM 0.142 or 0.06 x (0.11-0.05)
Answer:
The stock has an expected return of 14.2%.
Explanation:
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is what describes the relationship between the expected return and risk of investing in a security. It shows that the expected return on a security is equal to the risk-free return plus a risk premium, which is based on the beta of that security (Corporate Finance Institute, 2015). It is calculated as follows:
Expected Return = Risk free rate + [Beta * (Market rate – risk free rate)]
Re = Rf + [Beta * (Rm - Rf)]
For Oasis, the required rate of return is
Re = 0.06 + [1.64* (0.11 – 0.06)]
= 0.142
= 14.2%
The expected rate of 14.2% is higher than the market rate of 11% and higher than the risk free rate of 6%. The recommendation to buy is supported since it brings the higher return compared to a risk-free investment and the higher than the market rate.
The stock is undervalued, therefore buy.

Seashore Home provides house-sitting for people while they are away on vacation. Some of its customers pay immediately after the job is finished. Some customers ask that the business send them a bill. As of the end of the year, Seashore Home has collected $1,460 from cash-paying customers. Seashore Home’s remaining customers owe the business $1,810. Seashore Home recorded $1,460 of service revenue for the year.
If Seashore Home had recorded their service revenue using the other method, how much service revenue would they have recorded for the year?
Answer:
The service revenue for the year under accrual basis is $3270.
Explanation:
The Seashore Home currently uses the cash basis system to record sales which require Seashore to record only the sales that have been paid for. The other method to record transactions is using the accrual basis. The accrual basis requires an entity to record revenues and expenses in the period in which they occured and are relevant to. Thus under accrual basis, sales made in a year, whether cash or credit, will be recorded as sales for that year.
Following accrual basis, the Service revenue for Seashore will be:
Service revenue = 1460 + 1810 = $3270
A German firm is attempting to determine the euro/pound exchange rate and has the following exchange rate information: USD/pound = $1.5509/£ and the USD/euro rate = $1.2194/€. Therefore, the euro/pound rate must be:
Answer:
Exchange rate is €1.272 per £
Explanation:
Exchange rate is defined as the amount of one currency that can be changed for another currency. This is a very important consideration in international trade where strength of a countrie's currency determines how much of the other currency will be bought.
We are given that $1.5509= £1
So $1 will be (1*1)/1.5509= £0.6448
Also $1.2194= €1
So $1 is (1*1)/1.2194= €0.82
Therefore
€0.82= £0.6448
x= £1
Cross-multiply
x= 0.82/0.6448
x= €1.272 per £
Final answer:
The euro/pound exchange rate can be determined by converting the given exchange rates from USD to euro and pound. The euro/pound rate is €0.7879/£.
Explanation:
The euro/pound exchange rate can be calculated using the given exchange rate information.
To find the euro/pound rate, we need to convert both the USD/euro and USD/pound rates to euro/pound. Given USD/pound = $1.5509/£ and USD/euro = $1.2194/€, the euro/pound rate is calculated as $1.2194/€ ÷ $1.5509/£ = €0.7879/£.
Gary is taking out a $5,000 loan for 1 year at an APR of 12%. His bank has offered him a loan using the add-on method. Using first the financial calculator method and the add-on method calculate Gary's monthly loan payment. Select one: A. $475.00; $448.94 B. $444.24; $466.67
Using the financial calculator method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $444.24. Using the add-on method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $466.67.
Explanation:In order to calculate Gary's monthly loan payment using the financial calculator method, we need to use the formula:
Monthly payment = P * r * (1+r)^n / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where:
P is the principal amount ($5,000)r is the monthly interest rate (APR / 12)n is the number of payments (1 year * 12 months)So, for Gary's loan:
P = $5,000
r = 12% / 12 = 1%
n = 1 year * 12 months = 12
Plugging these values into the formula gives us:
Monthly payment = $5,000 * 0.01 * (1+0.01)^12 / [(1+0.01)^12 - 1]
Simplifying this expression gives us:
Monthly payment = $5,000 * 0.01 * (1.01^12) / [(1.01^12) - 1]
Calculating this expression gives us:
Monthly payment = $444.24
Therefore, using the financial calculator method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $444.24.
Using the add-on method, we need to calculate the total amount paid over the year and then divide it by 12 to get the monthly payment. The total amount paid over the year would be the principal amount plus the interest, which is:
Total amount paid = principal amount + (principal amount * APR)
For Gary's loan:
Total amount paid = $5,000 + ($5,000 * 0.12)
Simplifying this expression gives us:
Total amount paid = $5,000 + $600 = $5,600
Dividing this total amount by 12 gives us the monthly payment:
Monthly payment = $5,600 / 12 = $466.67
Therefore, using the add-on method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $466.67.
International investors pulled their funds out of Asia and moved them into mostly the United States. Using the large open economy model that we learned in class, analyze the impact of this policy on U.S. interest rates, real exchange rate, and trade balance.
Answer:
Policy impact will be positive
Explanation:
When investors pull out their funds from Asian, it will amount to scarcity of funds for developmental purposes. The contrary is the case when such funds are plunged into the US market. Its impact to the economy include:
1. Create more opportunity for development
2. Reduces the interest rate of lending in the society
3. Exchange rate value will decrease just because more of these funds will be used for business transactions
4. The prices of goods will be adjusted to balance the different caused by inflation
An apparel company is trying to decide which global strategy to implement as it expands. A low cost structure with a differentiated product specific to each of its geographic markets is important to the company. The top leadership also expects to use many of the company's resources across a global network. Based on these preferences, which strategy should the company practice?
Answer:
b. Transnational strategy
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
a. International strategy
b. Transnational strategy
c. Localization strategy
d. Globalization standardization strategy
A transnational strategy would be one that is placed somewhere between a domestic and a global strategy. In these cases, companies still strive for efficiency and uniformity, but they are also responsive to local tastes, and are willing to change accordingly. In this example, this firm wants to have a global strategy that is suitable to different geographic markets with specific products. Therefore, the transnational strategy is the best one for it to adopt.

Identify a cost driver that may be used to assign each cost pool to each line of snowmobiles. Budgeted Costs Cost Driver Machine setup, indirect materials select a cost driver Inspections select a cost driver Tests select a cost driver Insurance, plant select a cost driver Engineering design select a cost driver Depreciation, machinery select a cost driver Machine setup, indirect labor select a cost driver Property taxes select a cost driver Oil, heating select a cost driver Electricity, plant lighting select a cost driver Engineering prototypes select a cost driver Depreciation, plant select a cost driver Electricity, machinery select a cost driver Machine maintenance wages select a cost driver
Explanation:
The identification of the cost driver is presented below:
This identification is required so that the indirect cost can be allocated according to the each cost pool
Machine setup, indirect materials = Number of setups
Inspections = Number of inspections
Test = Number of test
Insurance, plant = Machine hours or square feet
Engineering design = Engineering Hours
Depreciation, machinery = Machine hours
Machine setup, indirect labor = Number of setups
Property taxes = Machine hours or square feet
Oil, heating = Machine hours or square feet
Electricity, plant lighting = Machine hours or square feet
Engineering prototypes = Engineering Hours
Depreciation, plant = Machine hours or square feet
Electricity, machinery = Machine hours
Machine maintenance wages = Number of machines or machine hours
The choice of the most appropriate cost driver should align with the specific factors influencing each cost pool and the characteristics of the snowmobile lines essential to select cost drivers that provide a reasonable basis for allocating costs accurately to each product line.
To assign each cost pool to each line of snowmobiles, it's essential to select appropriate cost drivers that reflect the factors driving the incurrence of each cost pool.
Here are some suggested cost drivers for the listed cost pools:
1. **Machine Setup**: The number of machine setup hours or setups can be a suitable cost driver.
Each snowmobile line may require a different number of setups or hours, depending on the complexity of the production process.
2. **Inspections**: The number of inspections or inspection hours can be a relevant cost driver.
Different snowmobile lines may require varying levels of inspection based on their design and quality standards.
3. **Tests**: The number of tests performed or test hours can serve as the cost driver.
Snowmobile lines with more complex features may undergo more testing, impacting costs.
4. **Insurance, Plant**: Total square footage or the value of assets in the plant can be a reasonable cost driver.
Different snowmobile lines may occupy different areas or use plant assets differently.
5. **Engineering Design**: The number of design hours or the number of design iterations could be used as a cost driver.
More complex snowmobile lines may require more extensive design efforts.
6. **Depreciation, Machinery**: Machine hours or the value of machinery can be a suitable cost driver.
Some snowmobile lines may heavily rely on specific machinery, impacting depreciation costs.
7. **Machine Setup, Indirect Labor**: Similar to machine setup, the number of setup hours or setups can be used, but this time focusing on the labor aspect of setup.
8. **Property Taxes**: Total square footage or the assessed value of the property can be a relevant cost driver.
Different snowmobile lines may occupy different areas within the facility.
9. **Oil, Heating**: Heating degree days (a measure of heating requirements) or energy consumption can be a cost driver, as snowmobile lines with different production processes may have varying heating needs.

Cassius Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range. Sales (7,000 units) $ 210,000 Variable expenses 136,500 Contribution margin 73,500 Fixed expenses 67,200 Net operating income $ 6,300 The number of units that must be sold to achieve a target profit of $31,500 is closest to______________.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
The breakeven point is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a loss nor a profit. A target profit is the net of the sales less the sum of the fixed and variable expenses. The contribution margin is the difference between the sales and variable cost.
Sales per unit = $210,000/7000 = $30
Variable cost per unit = $136,500/7000 = $19.50
Let the number of units to be sold to achieve the profit target be x
30x - 19.5x - 67200 = 31500
10.5x = 98700
x = 98700/10.5
x = 9,400 units
Exchange rate forecasting is: Group of answer choices important because exchange rates influence all aspects of business. important because markets depend on solid information. unimportant because exchange rate forecasting does not have a theoretical model. No answer text provided.
Answer: Exchange rate forecasting is important because exchange rate influence all aspects of business.
Explanation:
Exchange rate forecast is a method that is used to predict exchange rates by collecting all the relevant factors that may affect a currency. Exchange rate forecasting is vital because exchange rates influence all aspects of business.
The exchange rate plays a vital role for firms that import raw materials and export goods. A depreciation i.e a devaluation of the currency will make exports cheaper and therefore exporting firms will benefit. Every firm is interconnected in one way or the other, therefore exchange rate is vital.
hich of the following sentences contain flabby expressions? Check all that apply. I worked on the MarkMaster campaign for the period of 35 hours last week.

Suppose Yamahonda, a Japanese-owned motorcycle manufacturer, builds a production plant in Alabama. This is an example of foreign ___ investment in the United States. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries? Check all that apply.
A.Imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital.
B.Pursuing inward-oriented policies.
C.Increasing taxes on income from savings.
D.Protecting property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:1) Foreign direct
Question 2.
B. Pursuing inward-oriented policies
C. increasing taxes on income from savings
D.Protecting property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:Foreign direct investment is a type of investment which is carried out by another country in another country. The foreign country either it invest directly or through corporations or other companies from its country into another country.
The goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PURSUING INWARD-ORIENTED POLICIES, increasing TAXES ON INCOME FROM SAVINGS and PROTECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ENFORCE CONTRACTS.
Yamahonda's establishment of a production plant in Alabama is an example of foreign direct investment. For developing countries aiming to boost productivity and growth, certain policies like protecting property rights and enforcing contracts are vital. Conversely, imposing restrictions on foreign capital, adopting inward-oriented policies, and raising taxes on savings could hinder economic development.
Explanation:When Yamahonda, a Japanese-owned motorcycle manufacturer, decides to build a production plant in Alabama, this is an example of foreign direct investment in the United States. This kind of investment is crucial for economic growth and development, not just in developed countries like the US but also in developing nations seeking to increase their productivity and growth.
Regarding policies consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries, not all strategies are equally effective. For example, protecting property rights and enforcing contracts (option D) is fundamental to encouraging investment and ensuring a stable economic environment. This measure helps in creating a conducive environment for both local and foreign investments, which is essential for economic growth.
On the contrary, imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital (option A), pursuing inward-oriented policies (option B), and increasing taxes on income from savings (option C) could potentially stifle economic growth. These policies can deter foreign investment, limit access to global markets, and discourage savings and investment, respectively.
On May 15, Maynard Co. borrowed cash from Texas Bank by issuing a 90-day note with a face amount of $45,600. Assume a 360-day year. Required: a. Determine the proceeds of the note, assuming the note carries an interest rate of 8%. $ b. Determine the proceeds of the note, assuming the note is discounted at 8%.
Answer:
a. $45,600
b. $45,296
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The proceed of the note is always equal to the face amount i.e $45,600
b. After considering the discounted rate, the proceed of the note is
= ($45,600) - ($45,600 × 8% × 30 days ÷ 360 days)
= $45,600 - $304
= $45,296
After considering the discount rate and the issuing days, the proceed of the note could come
Final answer:
For case a, the interest is calculated and added to the principal, giving proceeds of $46,512. For case b, when the note is discounted at 8%, the discount amount is subtracted from the principal, resulting in proceeds of $44,688.
Explanation:
When Maynard Co. borrows $45,600 at an 8% interest rate for 90 days on a 360-day year basis, the interest can be calculated using the formula Interest = Principal imes Rate imes Time. To calculate the proceeds for case a, with the note carrying the interest rate of 8%, the steps are as follows:
Calculate the interest: $45,600 imes 8% imes (90/360) = $912.Add the interest to the principal to determine the maturity value: $45,600 + $912 = $46,512.The proceeds of the note are equal to the maturity value: $46,512.For case b, assuming the note is discounted at 8%, we follow a slightly different process:
Calculate the discount: $45,600 imes 8% imes (90/360) = $912.Subtract the discount from the principal to determine the proceeds of the note: $45,600 - $912 = $44,688.Brief Exercise 13-05 Pronghorn Inc.’s $11 par value common stock is actively traded at a market price of $14 per share.

Does the production function:q=100L−20/kexhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale?
Answer:
the production function q exhibits decreasing returns to scale
Explanation:
to see if the function exhibits decreasing , increasing or constant returns of scale , let increase the input of the function
q=100L−20/k
then for N times units of Labor L and Capital K
qn =100(N*L)−20/(N*k) = N*[100*L - 20/(N²*K)]
since 20/(N²*K) < 20/K for N>1
qn =100(N*L)−20/(N*k) = N*[100*L - 20/(N²*K)] < N*[100*L - 20/(K)] = N*q (constant returns of scale )
thus qn < constant returns of scale
therefore q exhibits decreasing returns to scale
You’re trying to save to buy a new $215,000 Ferrari. You have $36,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 4.3 percent annual interest on its accounts. How long will it be before you have enough to buy the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Length of time years
Answer:
42.45 years
Explanation:
Discounting is the means by which the today's value of an amount in the future is computed. Compounding is the process by which the future value of a present amount is determined. In other words, the present value of $1 tomorrow is determined by discounting while the future value of $1 tomorrow is determined by compounding.
Where
Fv = Pv(1 + r)^n
Fv is the future value
Pv is the present value
r is rate
n is time
215000 = 36000(1 + 0.043)^n
215/36 = 1.043^n
Taking the log of both sides
log (215/36) = log 1.043^n
n = log (215/36) / log 1.043
n = 42.45 years
It will take 42.45 years to have enough to buy the car
What would be the monthly operating advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the goods internally, assuming the external supplier increased its price to $50 per pound and the Production Division is able to utilize the facilities for other operations, resulting in a monthly cash-operating savings of $30 per pound
Answer:
The monthly operating advantage of purchasing internally is $20
Explanation:
Judging from an opportunity perspective,the company pays $50 when he purchases externally and as a result saves $30,in essence the company incurs $20($50-$30) more when it purchases externally.
No doubt that if the situation reverses itself, the company gains $20 if produces and sells internally as against purchasing from external party.
From the foregoing,it is obvious that the monthly operating advantage of purchasing goods internally is a cash saving of $20 per item
Hence, buying internally is more desirable and preferred option

How should emotional appeal in fund-raising messages be used? A. Using a mild appeal to convince people and avoid offending them B. Using sensory details to help people connect to a cause C. Using wordiness which is crucial in making a document appealing D. Creating emotional appeal by a generic group instead of specifics E. Using a long-winded style because it evokes interest in a reader
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Using sensory details to help people connect to a cause.
Explanation:
Sensory details are used in writing to attract readers' attention. Those details involve the use of the senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Sensory details help information, whether written or spoken, to push the audience to interact with what us being prompted.
In case the objective of using sensory details for a fund-raising message, the writer, for instance, could talk about the need of collecting monetary resources to clean the river that crosses the bridge that connects the suburbs with the city because of its unpleasant bad smelling. The next time the reader goes through the bridge, the individual will likely pay attention to the smelling of the bridge to confirm what the author said, which will possibly lead him or her to contribute with the cleaning cause.
