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?
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.
Marin Company's accounts receivable arising from sales to customers amounted to $131000 and $114000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. Income reported on the income statement for the year was $498000. Exclusive of the effect of other adjustments, the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is
Answer:
$481,000
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.
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
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.
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
Dragon makes all sales on account, subject to the following collection pattern: 30% are collected in the month of sale; 60% are collected in the first month after sale; and 10% are collected in the second month after sale. If sales for June, July, and August were $120,000, $160,000, and $220,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31?
Answer: $174000
Explanation:
The firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31 would be calculated as:
= (30% × $220,000) + (60% × $160,000) + (10% × $120,000)
= (0.3 × $220,000) + (0.6 × $160,000) + (0.1 × $120,000)
= $66000 + $96000 + $12000
= $174000

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
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
A firm has a tax burden of 0.6, a leverage ratio of 1.2, an interest burden of 0.7, and a return-on-sales ratio of 14%. The firm generates $2.64 in sales per dollar of assets. What is the firm's ROE
Answer:
18.63%
Explanation:

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?
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?
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.
Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is: Question 20 options: the order quantity divided by the number of inventory cycles per year. the annual demand divided by the number of inventory cycles per year. half of the order quantity. half of the annual usage.
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?
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 %
