Answer:
Total Value =5563.131709
Explanation:
using the annuity formula to find out the present value of lease rentals
p=R*(1-(1+i)^-n)/i
Total rental monthly =5*60 = 60
I=7.32% monthly
R=385$ monthly
Since we have:
Value of the first is same i.e $385
Value of remaining 59 payments as follows
P=385*(1-(1+7.32%)^-59)/7.32%
P=385*(1-0.015482491 )/7.32%
P=385* 0.984517509 /7.32%
P=385*13.44969275
P=5178.131709
Value of 59 rental = 5178.131709
Add: Value of 1st rental = 385
Total Value =5563.131709
A joint goal is one in which Question 3 options: A) all parties work together to achieve some output that will be shared. B) all parties share the result equally. C) the parties work toward a common end but benefit differently. D) individuals with different personal goals agree to combine them in a collective effort. E) All of the above are characteristics of a common goal.
Answer:
D) individuals with different personal goals agree to combine them in a collective effort.
Explanation:
A joint goal is one where different people come together and pool their resources to achieve a particular goal or objective. The collective effort is mutually beneficial to parties involved.
The advantage of working in groups toward a joint goal is that differing expertise is introduced and this makes the goal more achievable than when individuals attempt it alone.
This leads to formation of a team.
A joint goal is an objective shared by multiple parties who may work together and compromise to achieve shared outcomes. The shared outcomes might benefit participants differently, and parties may have to navigate collective dilemmas and variations in personal motivations.
Explanation:A joint goal refers to an objective that multiple parties work towards, often within a group or organization. When discussing the characteristics of a joint goal, option E) 'All of the above are characteristics of a common goal' seems to be the most comprehensive answer. However, the provided reference information does not allow for a clear-cut answer as it suggests that situations can range widely - from participants having a general agreement on goals but differing on details to participants having motivations contrary to group goals, which can create collective dilemmas.
In practical applications, such as international policy on climate change or industry-wide corporate associations, a joint goal often includes elements where parties work together towards a goal, may benefit differently, and sometimes have to compromise to reach mutual objectives. Participants in a joint goal may share in the outcomes, but not necessarily equally, as their contributions and stakes might differ.

If Olaf earns $100,000 and pays $20,000 in taxes and George earns $200,000 and pays $48,000 in taxes, what type of tax system does this situation represent?
This situation represents progressive type of tax system.
Explanation:
A progressive tax is laid on the people based on their ability to pay. A lower tax rate is charged for the individual with low income compared to the person with higher income. The tax rate is fixed based on the income of the person. The high income earners are charged tax with higher percentage.
In the above scenario, the income of Olaf is $100,000. So he pays $20,000 as tax. George earns $200,000, so he pays $48,000 as tax. George pays tax higher than Olaf, as he earns higher than Olaf.
An increase in government spending of $200 million financed by a new tax of $200 million in an economy with a marginal propensity to consume of .90 could result in an increase in nominal GDP (assuming a closed economy with no leakages) of up to how much? (a) $0; (b) $2,000 million; (c) $180 million; (d) $200 million.
Answer:
(d) $200 million.
Explanation:
For computing the increase in nominal GDP first we have to determine the net tax which is equal to
= 0.90 ×$200 million
= $180 million
So, the net increase in government spending is
= $200 million - $180 million
= $20 million
And, we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.9)
= 1 ÷ 0.1
= 10
So, the increase in nominal GDP is
= $20 million × 10
= $200 million
The Boston House increases its dividend each year. The next annual dividend is expected to be $2.25 a share. Future dividends will increase by 5.0 percent annually. What is the current value of this stock if the discount rate is 13 percent?
Answer:
Current value of stock = $28.125
Explanation:
Given:
Annual dividend = $2.25
Growth rate = 5% = 5 / 100 = 0.05
Discount rate = 13% = 13 / 100 = 0.13
Current value of stock = ?
Computation of current value of stock:
Current value of stock = Annual dividend / (Discount rate - Growth rate)
Current value of stock = $2.25 / (0.13 - 0.05)
Current value of stock = $2.25 / (0.08)
Current value of stock = $28.125
You own a bond portfolio worth $28,000. You estimate that your portfolio has an average YTM of 6.9% and a Modified Duration of 7 years. If your portfolio's average YTM were to decrease by two basis points, what would be the approximate new value of your portfolio?
Answer:
[tex]Modified Duration = \frac{Duration}{ / (1 + Yield to Maturity)}[/tex]
[tex]Modified Duration = \frac{7}{(1+0.069)}[/tex]

4.37.-On January 1st, Frank bought a used car for $72,000 and agreed to pay it as follows: ¼ down payment; the balance to be paid in 36 equal monthly payments; the first payment due February 1; an annual interest rate of 9%, compounded monthly.
Answer:
$1,664.099
Explanation:
The amount that should be recognised by the Frank in respect of monthly payments to be made in respect of used car shall be determined using present value of annuity formula as follows:
Total amount to be paid= $72,000*3/4=$54,000
Total amount to be paid=Present value of annuity=R+R[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i]
Where
R=Equal monthly payment to be made=?
i=Interest rate compounded monthly=9/12=0.75%
n=number of payments involved=36
Present value of annuity= $54,000
$54,000=R+R[(1-(1+0.75%)^-36)/0.75%]
$54,000=R+R(31.45)
$54,000=R*32.45
R=$1,664.099=equal monthly payment

The average cell phone bill is $78 with a standard deviation of $10. What is the minimum percentage of cell phone bills that will be between $54 and $102.
Answer:
The answer is 100%
Explanation:
we are given the mean which is $78 which is the average value of the data therefore this tells us most values are collectively around this bill and we also know the standard deviation of the cellphone bill which is $10 now we check the possibilities of x which is the cellphone bill being around these values so if x>$78+$10 , where x>$88 as we know the standard deviation is the measure of dispersion of data from the mean then we will see if x<$68 also then we'll find the probability where $68>x>$88 therefore if we sum these whole probabilities they will give us 1 which means it is certain but not impossible to find values that are $102>x>$54 which we see by the above numbers that approximately 1 is the probability which is 100%.
At least 95% of cell phone bills will be between $54 and $102, as this range is more than two standard deviations but less than three standard deviations from the mean, in accordance with the empirical rule.
To determine the minimum percentage of cell phone bills that will be between $54 and $102, we can apply the empirical rule (also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule). This is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
The average cell phone bill is $78 with a standard deviation of $10. So, one standard deviation from the mean is $68 to $88, two standard deviations is $58 to $98, and three standard deviations is $48 to $108.
Since $54 to $102 encompasses more than two but less than three standard deviations from the mean, we can say that at least 95% but less than 99.7% of cell phone bills will fall in this range. Therefore, the minimum percentage of cell phone bills between $54 and $102 would be 95%.

On the island of Mabera, the local money is called "favoli." The price of every good in Mabera is expressed as the number of favolis needed to buy the good. The use of favolis to express the price of goods describes which function of money?
Answer:
The correct option is Unit of account
Explanation:
One of the functions of money is Unit of accounts in economics. The worth of an object is measured in a distinct currency. One of the downfalls of unit of account is that it is regarded as the steady unit of account but inflation factor devastate the said assumption that money is steady. It is regarded as the basic property of the money.
Thus, the correct option will be Unit Of Account.
Medium of exchange
Explanation:
Favoli works as “medium of exchange” on the island of Mabera.
Explanation- “Medium of Exchange” refers to the property of money by which it increases the interaction between the buyer and a seller. On the island of Mabera, every commodities price is expressed in the count of Favoli. There-by it means Favoli forms a medium of common exchange where any commodity can be converted into equivalent units of Favoli and vice-versa.
This is the most common use of money and it can be seen as the evolution over the traditional barter system which suffers from the “lack of wants”.
In June 1985, Joseph Marcantuone and Robert Gieson purchased property located in East Orange, New Jersey. At the time of purchase, the property was partly occupied and leased to Carriage Trade Cleaners, a dry cleaning establishment. A number of dry cleaners continuously operated on this site since 1930. Marcantuone and Gieson owned and operated a grocery store on another section of the property. They have never personally owned or operated a dry cleaning establishment on the property. JRM, LLC, and Sang Hak Shin were tenants on the property and the last operators of the dry cleaning establishment that utilized the hazardous substance tetrachloroethylene, or perchloroethylene (PCE), during the time Marcantuone and Gieson owned the property. The city of East Orange acquired the property through condemnation for the purpose of building a school on the property. But, the PCE was discovered on the property and out of the $629,407 given to Marcantuone and Gieson as compensation for the taking, the city held back $182,035.20 for the cost of the PCE clean-up. It cost the city a total of $212,000 to complete the clean-up of the property. Classify JRM, LLC, and Sang Hak Shin. a. Lessees b. Lenders c. Owners d. Users
Answer:
a. Lessees
Explanation:
JRM, LLC, and Sang Hak Shin are Lessees.
There are two kinds of leases a) Operating and b) Capital.
Operating leases are short term leases in which the lessor (asset owner) retains the risks and rewards of ownership.
Capital leases are long term leases by which the lessor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership to lessee.
The above given example is of an operating lease in which the owners Marcantuone and Gieson were given payment less compensation for the cleanup . In this the risks and rewards were retained by the owner.

6.Compute the present value of these dividends if the required rate of return is 14 percent.
1. $2.34
2. $2.54
3. $2.63
4. $2.73
5. $2.82
Explanation:
Last Dividend paid = $2.15
Growth rate:
First two years = 24%
Following three years = 18%
FV of Dividend = PV ( 1 + g )^n
1.
Dividend for the 1st year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^1 = $2.67
2.
Dividend for the 2nd year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^2 = $3.31
3.
Dividend for the 3rd year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^1 = $3.90
4.
Dividend for the 4th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^2 = $4.60
5.
Dividend for the 5th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^3 = $5.43
6.The present value of these dividends
Present value of dividends can be calculated by following formula:
PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n
FV = Dividend for the year
r = rate of return = 14%
n = number of years
1. PV = $2.98 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^1 = $2.98 / ( 1.14 )^1 = $2.98 / 1.14 = $2.34
2. PV = $3.31 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^2 = $3.31 / ( 1.14 )^2 = $3.31 / 1.2996 = $2.54
3. PV = $3.90 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^3 = $3.90 / ( 1.14 )^3 = $3.90 / 1.481544 = $2.63
4. PV = $4.60 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^4 = $4.60 / ( 1.14 )^4 = $4.60 / 1.68896 = $2.73
5. PV = $5.43 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^5 = $5.43 / ( 1.14 )^5 = $5.43 / 1.925416 = $2.82

Camilo's property, with an adjusted basis of $302,200, is condemned by the state. Camilo receives property with a fair market value of $347,530 as compensation for the property taken.
a. What is Camilo’s realized and recognized gain?
b. What is the basis of the replacement property
Answer:
a. Realized gain = $45,330
Recognized gain = $0
b. $302,200
Explanation:
a. The realized gain is the increase in Camilo's economic position, that is, the difference between the fair market value of both properties. The recognized gain is the taxable gain, which is zero in this situation, since the new property is a compensation.
[tex]Realized = 347,530-302,200 =\$45,330\\Recognized = \$0[/tex]
b. Since there is no recognized gain, the new property must have the same basis as the previous condemned property, which is $302,200.
LaCrosse Products has a budget of $900,000 in 2015 for prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention activities, it will save $80,000 in variable costs. The new method will require $40,000 in training costs and $100,000 in annual equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget for an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted production level is 150,000 units.Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $600,000. The new prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $50,000. Internal failure costs average $15 per failed unit of finished goods. The internal failure rate is expected to be 3% of all completed items. The proposed changes will cut the internal failure rate by one-third. Internal failure units are destroyed. External failure costs average $54 per failed unit. The company's average external failures average 3% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate by 50%. Assume all units produced are sold and there are no ending inventories.4) What is the net change in the budget for prevention costs if the procedures are automated in 2015? Will management agree with the changes?A) $60,000 decrease, yesB) $60,000 increase, yesC) $140,000 increase, noD) $80,000 decrease, yes
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Total costs:
= Training costs + Annual Equipment costs
= $40,000 + $100,000
= $140,000
Net increase in prevention costs:
= Total costs - Amount save in Variable costs
= $140,000 - $80,000
= $60,000
Therefore, the net increase in the budget for prevention costs if the procedures are automated in 2015 is $60,000.
Yes, the management agree with the changes.
AlphaBrona Industries manufactures 50,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows:Direct materials$ 80,000Direct labor100,000 Variable overhead 30,000 Fixed overhead 60,000Total$270,000An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $10. Fixed costs will remain the same if the component is purchased from an outside supplier.What is the effect on income if AlphaBrona Industries purchases the component from the outside supplier
Answer: -$290,000
Explanation:
The income would reduce by $290,000 if purchased from an outside supplier.
$270,000 is the cost of manufacturing 50,000 components per year.
Should they buy from outside it would cost $10 per component which would come to $500,000.
Fixed costs remain the same so we add that to the cost of purchasing outside.
$500,000 + $60,000 = $560,000
Total cost of purchasing from outside is $560,000.
The difference between the costs is =$560,000 - $270,000
= $290,000
This difference in cost would have to be accounted for from income so if purchased from outside, the income will reduce by $290,000.
A company began the year with $500 in raw materials and purchased $10,250 more during the year. If the company has $725 in raw materials at the end of the year, then they would report direct materials used of
Answer:
$10,025
Explanation:
The change in raw material account balance at the start of a period and at the end of the period is as a result of 2 factor namely; use and purchases.
While use will result in a decrease in the account balance, purchases will cause an increase. This may be expressed mathematically as
Opening balance + purchases - use = closing balance
$500 + $10,250 - G = $725
where G represents the cost of the materials used during the period
G = $500 + $10,250 - $725
= $10,025
H2O Plumbing has been working on a residential subdivision project for Paradise Builders. H2O agreed to do all plumbing work on each of the houses for a fee of $5200 per house. H2O has reviewed the market and decided that most plumbers are getting between $5500 and $6000 for houses of comparable size. H2O has done the initial work on all of the houses and has told Paradise it will stop work unless the price is increased to $5500 per house. Paradise is on a tight schedule with its construction lender and with home buyers and succumbs to the demand. Later, when the houses are constructed, Paradise refuses to pay any more than $5200 per house. Explain H2O's rights to them.
Final answer:
H2O Plumbing has the right to demand the increased price of $5500 per house that was agreed upon in their revised agreement with Paradise Builders.
Explanation:
In this scenario, H2O Plumbing initially agreed to do all plumbing work on each house in a residential subdivision project for a fee of $5200 per house.
However, after reviewing the market and finding out that most plumbers are getting between $5500 and $6000 for houses of comparable size, H2O informed Paradise Builders that they will stop work unless the price is increased to $5500 per house.
Paradise, due to their tight schedule and pressure from their construction lender and home buyers, agrees to the demand.
However, when the houses are constructed, Paradise refuses to pay any more than $5200 per house.
Assume that an adjusting entry was made on November 30, 2018 for earned, but unpaid employee salaries of $260 which represented 2 days of salaries earned for November 29-30.
On December 5, the employees are paid for five days. Record the journal entry on December 5 assuming that reversing entries ARE NOT used by selecting the account names from the pull-down menus and entering dollar amounts in the debit and credit columns.
Note: Enter debits before credits.
Date General Journal Debit Credit
12/05 Salaries expense
Salaries payable 260
Final answer:
The journal entry to record the payment of employee salaries on December 5 includes debiting Salaries Expense for the total five-day salary plus the previous unpaid $260, crediting Salaries Payable for $260, and crediting Cash for the remainder of the total five-day salary.
Explanation:
When employees are paid, the company must account for the salaries that were previously earned but not yet paid. Since reversing entries are not used, we only need to recognize the amount of salary expense since the last payroll date. On November 30, an adjusting entry was made for earned, but unpaid employee salaries of $260 for November 29-30. By December 5, the employees have earned five more days of salaries. Assuming a consistent daily pay rate, we calculate the total five-day salary and add it to the $260 of unpaid salaries from the adjusting entry to reach the total salaries expense. The journal entry on December 5 would debit Salaries Expense for the amount of five days of salaries plus the previously earned $260 and credit Salaries Payable for $260 and Cash for the remainder to record the payment.
The journal entry on December 5 would look as follows:
Salaries Expense ................ [Total five-day salary + $260]
Salaries Payable ................ $260
Cash ..................................... [Total five-day salary]
Without the exact daily rate, we cannot provide the precise dollar amounts for the five-day salary and cash credited. However, this structure demonstrates how to account for the payment of salaries accrued at the end of the previous period and the additional salaries earned in the current period.
In the short run, A. at least one of the firm's inputs is fixed, while in the long run, the firm is able to vary all its inputs, adopt new technology, and change the size of its physical plant. B. all of the firm's inputs are fixed, while in the long run, the firm is able to vary all its inputs, adopt new technology, and change the size of its physical plant. C. all of the firm's inputs are variable, while in the long run, the firm is able to vary all its inputs as well as adopt new technology and change the size of its physical plant. D. at least one of the firm's inputs is fixed, while in the long run, the firm is either able to vary all its inputs, adopt new technology, or change the size of its physical plant. E. at least one of the firm's inputs is fixed, while in the long run, at least one of the firm's inputs is variable.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The short run is a notion that within a certain period of time, one or more input is fixed while the remaining inputs are variable. It shows that the way an economy behaves depends on the duration of time it has to acknowledge the changes. There is a key principle regarding the short and long run that states that firms face both variable and fixed costs in the short run while in the long run, all inputs are variable.
In the short run, contracts, leases, and wage agreements hinders the ability of a firm to adjust its production or wages in order to maintain its profit rate. There are no fixed costs in the long run.

Two years ago, you created GoForLess, a new app that shows people the cheapest way to travel by bus, train, or air between two cities. Turns out that your app was a big success, and now you’ve made enough money to hire some additional employees. You’re trying to figure out what your new employees should do. What kinds of jobs should they have? How should they work together? How should they work with you? How can you give your employees enough freedom to be innovative, while maintaining enough control over their work to be sure that GoForLess will stay true to its overall goals?
You start by thinking about specialization. To what extent do your new employees need to have broad job responsibilities versus narrow job responsibilities? You know that to build a good app, you need to have people who have infrastructure automation, community building, programming, copywriting, data visualization, user experience, business, innovation, analysis, design, testing, and domain knowledge skills.
Look at the following two organizational designs and indicate which one you would choose.
A. I want my employees to have broad job responsibilities. I’ll hire a small group of employees next year that have multiple skills, and ask them to work on anything that will help the company meet its goals.
B. I want my employees to have very narrow job responsibilities. I’ll hire more people with specific experience next year, and each person will form the basis for future departments in my company.
Five years go by, and now you’ve hired 30 additional employees. Recently, you’ve noticed that some of your employees seem less happy than they were earlier. You hear complaints that people are bored and tired of doing the same thing all the time.
Which approach would you choose to solve problems most commonly associated with highly specialized work?
A. I would centralize my company.
B. I would decentralize my company.
Initially, specialized roles can help GoForLess function more efficiently. However, to address employee dissatisfaction, the company should then consider decentralizing their structure, allowing employees to have a wider range of responsibilities and promoting innovation while staying true to the company's goals.
Explanation:The organizational strategy you choose for your growing business depends largely on your company's needs and the skills of your employees. Given the information provided, it might be beneficial to first choose option B: hiring employees with specific experiences and skills to fulfill certain roles such as infrastructure automation, programming, copywriting, data visualization, and so on. This will contribute to the efficient functioning of your company.
However, after five years, boredom and monotony seem to have settled among your employees, a common issue in highly specialized jobs. To address this, you might want to choose option B again and decentralize your company. This could help by giving employees more autonomy and a wider scope of responsibilities that will not only challenge them but also make their jobs more interesting. They will still maintain their specific roles, but will have the freedom and space to navigate more in their department or across various tasks.
These changes can promote innovation while keeping the company aligned with its initial goals. However, it is essential to maintain clear communication and ensure that everyone understands the company's mission and objectives to not divert from the software's original purpose.

For a start-up like GoForLess, hiring specialized employees who can form future departments would be beneficial. If employees seem displeased by the repetition of specialized roles, the company can consider decentralization for increased job variety and worker empowerment, while still aligning innovation with the foundation goals of the app.
Explanation:When deciding on organizational designs, you should consider option B. Given the range of skills needed (infrastructure automation, community building, programming, etc.), you would benefit from a workforce specialized in specific areas. Over time, these individuals can form the basis for future departments, supporting the growth and evolving needs of GoForLess. As a leader, you can stay involved and guide the overarching goals and strategic direction.
However, if you notice signs of boredom or dissatisfaction among employees, attributed to the repetitive nature of highly specialized roles, the best approach would typically be to decentralize your company (option B). Decentralization tends to empower employees, give them more variety in tasks, promote creativity, and reduce monotony. Nevertheless, you would need to ensure that 'innovation' is still aligned with the app's fundamental goals, set clear objectives, and establish a healthy feedback culture.

West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $820,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 130,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate?
Answer:
$ 34
Explanation:
Overhead cost $3,600,000
Factory utilities $820,000
Machine hours $130,000
Overhead cost + Factory utilities/ Machine hours
($3,600,000 + $820,000) = $4,420,000
$4,420,000 /130,000 = $34
direct labor hours per hour= $34
The company overhead rate is $34
How much will you have at the end of 5 years in a European vacation account if you deposit $200 a month in an account that is paying a nominal 12 percent per year, compounded monthly
Answer:
The final value is $16,333.93
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You deposit $200 a month for 5 years on an account with an annual interest rate of 12% compounded monthly.
First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate:
Interest rate= 0.12/12= 0.01
Now, we can calculate the future value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit= 200
i= 0.01
n= 5*12= 60
FV= {200*[(1.01^60)-1]}/ 0.01= $16,333.93
Prof. Finance will have $1,500,000 saved up by retirement at age 65. The retired professor expects to live 25 more years after retiring. How large of an annual annuity withdrawal can Prof. Finance make at the beginning of each year under this scenario from an account paying 6% compounded annually?
Answer:
He can makes an annual annuity withdrawal of $ 110,698
Explanation:
Prof. Finance has a PV of 1,500,000, which is the ammount after his retirement at age 65 so PV= 1,500,000
6% in this case is the rate of interest so r=6%
number of withdrawals = 25
PMT= $110,698
Prof. Finance can make an annual annuity withdrawal of approximately $143,853.77 at the beginning of each year.
Explanation:To find the annual annuity withdrawal that Prof. Finance can make, we will use the formula for the present value of an annuity. The formula is:
PV = PMT * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]
Where PV is the present value, PMT is the withdrawal amount, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of years. Plugging in the values, we can calculate the withdrawal amount:
PV = $1,500,000, r = 6%, n = 25 years
PMT = $1,500,000 * (0.06 / (1 - (1 + 0.06)^-25))
PMT ≈ $143,853.77

Consider Pacific Energy Company and U.S. Bluechips, Inc., both of which reported earnings of $961,000. Without new projects, both firms will continue to generate earnings of $961,000 in perpetuity. Assume that all earnings are paid as dividends and that both firms require a return of 14 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
a. What is the current PE ratio for each company?
Price / Earnings ________________________ times
b. Pacific Energy Company has a new project that will generate additional earnings of $111,000 each year in perpetuity. Calculate the new PE ratio of the company.
Price / Earnings ________________________ times
c. U.S. Bluechips has a new project that will increase earnings by $211,000 in perpetuity. Calculate the new PE ratio of the firm.
Price / Earnings ________________________ times
Answer:
a.
Price / Earnings 7.04 times
b.
Price / Earnings 7.14 times
c.
Price / Earnings 7.14 times
Explanation:
a.
Earning = $961,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $961,000 / 0.14 = $6,864,286
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $6,764,286.
Price Earning Ratio = $6,764,286/ $961,000 = 7.04 times
b.
Earning = $961,000 + $111,000 = $1,072,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $1,072,000 / 0.14 = $7,657,143
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $7,657,143.
Price Earning Ratio = $7,657,143/ $1,072,000 = 7.14 times
c.
Earning = $961,000 + $211,000 = $1,172,000
Rate of return = 14%
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of Perpetuity = $1,172,000 / 0.14 = $8,371,429
As we know that Price is the Present value of future cash flows which is perpetuity of $6,764,286.
Price Earning Ratio = $8,371,429 / $1,172,000 = 7.14 times
