The result of your Monte Carlo simulation for the Present Worth of a project is a normal distribution with a mean of $575,234 and a standard deviation of $10,245. If your boss tells you that in order to be successful, the Present Worth needs to exceed $560,000. What is the chance that the project will NOT succeed

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.85%

Explanation:

Mean = 575,234

Standard deviation = 10,245

Project will be successful when PV > 560,000

For not getting success, PV < 560,000

P (X < 560,000) = P (Z < (560,000-575,234)/10,245)

P (X < 560,000) = P (Z < -1.48697)

P (X < 560,000) = 0.0685

P (X < 560,000) = 6.85%

Therefore, the chance that the project will NOT succeed is 6.85%

Suppose that Congress enacts a major tax increase. At the same time, the Federal Reserve uses monetary policy in such a way that the combined effect of the tax increase and the monetary policy is that GDP does not change at all. Based on this information, explain clearly what the overall (short-run) effect?

Answers

Answer:

Since GDP does not change, it means that Federal Reserve System undertook expansionary monetary policy to counteract the contractionary fiscal policy.

a. Investment - Expansionary monetary policy means fall in interest rate, so investment would rise.

b. The net effect would be that AD curve would not have changed (since output is constant), so price level remains the same.

c. Government would get surplus as government spending is same but tax revenue rose.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the cash flows from operating activities, the net Income for the year must be adjusted by non - cash items and changes in working capital items.

Therefore, given a decrease in Accounts Receivable $17,000 ($131000 - $114000) . Then the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is $481,000 ($498000 - $17,000) .

Brace Corporation uses direct labor-hours as the cost driver in its normal costing system. Brace budgeted that it would use 21,600 direct-labor hours during the year. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 20,400 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $506,920, and Brace had $20,440 of underapplied overhead. The budgeted manufacturing overhead must have been: Round to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $515,095.2

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocated overhead:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

20,440 = 506,920 - allocated overhead

allocated overhead= $486,480

Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:

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

486,480= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*20,400

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 486,480/20,400

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23.847 per direct labor hour

Finally, the estimated overhead for the period:

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

23.847= total estimated overhead costs for the period/21,600

total estimated overhead costs for the period= 21,600*23.847

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $515,095.2

A firm has an equity multiplier of 1.57, an unlevered cost of equity of 14 percent, a levered cost of equity of 15.6 percent, and a tax rate of 40 percent. What is the cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

10.45 %

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the cost of debt

Using this formula

Levered cost of equity=Unlevered cost of equity+Equity multiplier(1-Tax rate)(Unlevered cost of equity-Cost of debt)

Let plug in the formula

.156 = .14 + .57(1 −.21)(.14 − Cost of debt )

.156 = .14 + .57(.79)(.14 − Cost of debt )

Cost of debt= .1045 *100

Cost of debt= 10.45%

Note that equity multiplier of 1.57 -1 will give us .57

Therefore the cost of debt will be 10.45%

Using the dividend growth model, explain why a firm would be hesitant to reduce the growth rate of its dividends.

Answers

Answer:

If a firm decreases its sustainable growth rate (g), the price of their stock will probably decrease. I will use the following example:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

Div₁ = $2Re = 12%g = 5%

P₀ = $2 / (12% - 5%) = $28.57

if the growth rate g decreases to 2%, and the rest remains unchanged, then

P₀ = $2 / (12% - 2%) = $20

Bramble Frosted Flakes Company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from Bramble Frosted Flakes boxes and $2. The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2021, the company sold 809000 boxes of Frosted Flakes and customers redeemed 352000 boxtops receiving 88000 bowls. If the bowls cost Bramble Company $4 each, how much liability for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end of 2021

Answers

Answer: $66700

Explanation:

Number of boxtops that was sold = 809000

Estimated boxtops to be redeemed = 809,000 × 60% = 485400

Less: Boxtops received = 352000

Estimated boxtops not received yet = 133400

The number of boxtops that will be needed per bowl will then be:

= 133400 / 4

= 33350

Therefore, liability for outstanding premiums that should be recorded at the end of 2021 would be:

= 33350 × ($4 - $2)

= 33350 × $2

= $66700

Exeter has a materials standard of 1 pound per unit of output. Each pound has a standard price of $25 per pound. During July, Exeter paid $138,000 for 5,040 pounds, which it used to produce 4,780 units. What is the direct materials price variance?

Answers

Answer:

$19,595 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct material price variance is shown below;

= (Actual price - Standard price) × Actual quantity used

Given that;

Actual price = $138,000/4,780 units

= $28.87 × 1 pound

= $28.87 per pound

Actual quantity used = 4,780 units

Standard price = $25 per pound

= ($28.87 per pound - $25 per pound) × 4,780 units

= ($3.87 per pound) × 5,040 pounds

= $19,595 unfavorable

The direct material price variance is unfavorable because actual price is more than standard price.

In September 2008, the stock market fell sharply and continued to perform poorly due to the financial crisis. How did this change impact GDP in the economy?

Answers

Answer:

Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.

Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.

If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.

Answers

Answer:

c. half of the order quantity

Explanation:

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is half of the order quantity

Economic order quantity is a quantity which minimizes the ordering cost and holding cost  

Q = EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2*D*S/ H}[/tex] where  D = Demand unit, S = Order cost and H = Holding cost

- Ordering cost and the Holding at EOQ will be same

- Average inventory = Q/2

- Average inventory is the half of the order quantity.

Kim's Bridal Shoppe has 10,200 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $36 per share. It also has 215 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $87 per share. There are 520 bonds outstanding that have a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds mature in 17 years, have a face value of $1,000, and sell at 93 percent of par. What is the capital structure weight of the common stock?

Answers

Answer:

26.43 %

Explanation:

The Capital Structure is based on  the Market Weight of the Sources of Finance as shown below :

Equity market value = Number of shares × price/share

Equity market value  = 10,200 ×  $36

Equity market value = $367,200

Current debt value = Number of bonds × price/bond

Current debt value = 520 × (1930)

Current debt value = $1,003,600

Preferred stock value = Number of shares × price/share

Preferred stock value = 215 ×  $87

Preferred stock value = $18,705

Total capital = Common equity value + Debt value + Preferred stock value

Total capital = $367,200 + $1,003,600 + $18,705

Total capital = $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = Equity value / Total capital

Weight of Equity  = $367,200 / $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = 26.43 %
