Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$28.57

Explanation:

Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)

D1 (Next dividend) = $2

Required return = 10% = 0.1

Growth rate = 3% = 0.03

Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)

Current price = $2 / 0.07

Current price = $28.57143

Current price = $28.57

Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

In 2009, an 1893 Morgan silver dollar sold for $6,450. Required: What was the rate of return on this investment? (Do not include the percent sign (%). Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Answers

Answer:  7.86%

Explanation:

Using the Future Value formula;

= Amount * ( 1 + r)^n

The question is looking for the rate so making that the subject would be;

Assuming the car was $1 in 1893,

And n = 2009 - 1893 = 116 years

FV = Amount * ( 1 + r)^n

( 1 + r)^n = FV/  Amount

1 ^n + r^n = FV / Amount

r = n√((FV/ Amount) / 1^n)

r =  n√(FV/ Amount)

r =  116√(6,450/ 1)

= 1.07855

Subtract 1 for the percentage;

= 1.07855 - 1

= 7.86%

Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30
d. $63.92

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity

Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity

General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800

Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240

General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170

Total allocated overhead= $29,210

Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47

Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

Answers

Answer:

a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700

b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200

d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400

Explanation:

Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:

- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.

- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.

Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Also, we describe the following:

Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.

Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.

From the question, we have the following:

Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600

Capital gain recognised = $5,500

Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400

Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700

b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.

From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.

As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800

Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.

Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.

Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400

Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:

Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200

d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

We have the following:

Section 1231 loss = $4,200

Section 1231 gain = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200

This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400

Answers

Answer: Span of Control

Explanation:

A Manager's span of control refers to all the subordinates that report to that manager. The manager therefore effectively controls and directs them and as such is answerable for them.

Spans of Control are different depending on the type of company it is. A manager with a lot of people in their span of control is said to have a Wide span of control and the reverse is a Narrow Span of control.

A very important part of management is determining the largest number of subordinates that can be in a span of control without overwhelming the manager.

A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900.

Answers

Answer:

Income +/- inventory adjustment

2015:   138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000

2016:  254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000

2017:   168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000

Explanation:

Inventory Identity:

Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS

As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS

When the inventory is overstated this means COGS is understated.

We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.

When the inventory is understated this means COGS is overstated.

We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.

Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?

Answers

Answer:

$ - 1.96

Explanation:

After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.

DATA

Delivery price = $40

The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.

The current forward price = $42

Solution

So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96

The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96

Broca Corporation has a current ratio of 2.5. Which of the following transactions will increase Broca's current ratio? Select one: a. the purchase of inventory for cash. b. the collection of an account receivable. c. the payment of an account payable. d. none of the above.

Answers

Answer:

b. the collection of an account receivable

Explanation:

The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:

As we know that

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

If the current ratio is 2.5 that means the current assets is higher than the current ratio

As per the given options, the option b is correct and hence the same is to be considered

The transaction that will increase Broca's current ratio is d. none of the above.

The current ratio is not increased by the purchase of inventory for cash because this transaction has no effect on the current assets.  The collection of an account receivable is not going to increase the current ratio for the same reason above (no effect on the current assets).

The payment of an account payable reduces the current assets and current liabilities by the same amount and will not affect the current ratio.

Thus, the transaction that will increase the current ratio is d.

Answer and Explanation:

We refer to balance sheet figures for each company stated above to retrieve figures for our calculations and use the following formulas for calculations:

For return on assets= net imcome/total assets

For rate of return on shareholders equity =net income/equity

For equity multiplier= total assets/ total equity

For acid-test ratio=liquid assets/current liabilities

For current ratio =current assets/current liabilities

For receivables = credit sales /acct receivables and inventory turnover ratios=cost of goods/inventory

For times interest earned ratio=ebit/interest expenses

Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $200 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $200. The supplemental tax percent is used.


Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.


a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.


b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

a. Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. Net amount of each bonus = $129.10

Explanation:

Since the supplemental tax percent is used, the following are the relevant tax rates to be applied in the calculations:

STP = Supplemental tax percent = 25%

FICASO = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax = 6.2%

FICAM = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Medicare tax = 1.45%.

SIT = State income tax = 2.8%

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.

Given the tax rates above, the following formula is used to calculate the gross amount of each bonus:

Gross amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount / (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $200/ (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Gross amount of each bonus = $200 / 64.55%

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.837335398916

To the nearest cent which implies to two decimal places, we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.

The net amount of each bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Net amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount * (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * 64.55%

Net amount of each bonus = $129.10

Answer:

Statement 1: An increase in the cost of energy affects both aggregate supply and aggregate demand.

A. True

An increase in energy costs reduces both aggregate supply and demand.

Statement 2: One of the factors that increase aggregate demand is the consumption of more imports.

B. False

If net exports decrease (exports - imports), then the aggregate demand curve will shift to the left, which means it will decrease.

Statement 3: If the value of people's stock portfolios increases or if peoples houses appreciate in value, then this very easily could lead to an increase in aggregated demand.

A. True

This would lead to an increase in the net worth of households, which generally leads to higher spending.

Financing Amount
$4840
Correct
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan

Answers

Answer:

Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan...$435.6

Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan...$1,452

Explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows.

I = P x R x T,

where I = interest

P= Principal

R= interest rate

T= time

For the loan at 4.5 percent for 2 years, the interest will be

=  $4,840 x 4.5/100 x 2

= $4,840 x 0.045 x 2

= $435.6

Total cost of the loan will principal plus interest

=$435.6 + $4,840

=$5,275.6

Monthly loan cost

= $5,275.6/24

=$219.81

Total loan cost..$5,275.6

Monthly loan cost ...$219.81

For the Loan at 6 percent for 5 years, the interest will be

= $4,840 x 6/100 x 5

= $4,840 x 0.06 x 5

=$1,452

Total cost of the loan will be principal plus interest

=$ 4,840 + $1,452

=$6,292

Monthly costs will be

=$6,292/60

=$104.87

Total loan cost... $6,292

Monthly loan  costs... $104.87
