Required:
What is the WACC for the company?
Answer:
11,73 %
Explanation:
WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) + Kp × (E/V)
Ke = Cost of Equity
= Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Risk Premium
= 3.5 % + 1.20 × 6.9 %
= 11.78 %
E/V = Weight of Equity
= (2,300,000 × $92) ÷ (2,300,000 × $92 + 60,000 × $106.10 + 18,900 × $21.60 + 155,000 × $84)
= 0.91
Kd = Cost of Debt
Debt : 60,000 bonds
Pv = ($106.10)
Pmt = (5.10% × $1,000) ÷ 2 = $25.50
n = 15 × 2 = 30
Fv = $1,000
P/yr = 2
i = ?
Pre-tax cost = 48.66 %
After tax cost = 0.75 × 48.66 %
= 36.50%
DV = Weight of Debt
= (60,000 × $106.10) ÷ (2,300,000 × $92 + 60,000 × $106.10 + 18,900 × $21.60 + 155,000 × $84)
= 0.03
Debt : 18,900 zero coupon bonds
Pv = ($21.60)
Pmt = $0
n = 27 × 2 = 54
Fv = $10,000
P/yr = 2
i = ?
Pre-tax cost = 24,07 %
After tax cost = 0.75 × 24,07 %
= 18.05%
DV = Weight of Debt
= (18,900 × $21.60) ÷ (2,300,000 × $92 + 60,000 × $106.10 + 18,900 × $21.60 + 155,000 × $84)
= 0.002
Kp = Cost of Preference Share
Market Rate = (Return × Par Value) ÷ Current Price
= (2.90 % × $100) ÷ $84
= 0.03 %
P/V = Weight of Preference Shares
= (155,000 × $84) ÷ (2,300,000 × $92 + 60,000 × $106.10 + 18,900 × $21.60 + 155,000 × $84)
= 0.06
WACC = 11.78 % × 0.91 + 36.50% × 0.03 + 18.05% × 0.002 + 0.03 % × 0.06
= 11,73 %

Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of goods sold on October 24 and (b) the inventory on October 31.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:
Perpetual Inventory Using FIFO Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for Item Zeta9 are as follows:
Oct. 1 Inventory 200 units at $30
7 Sale 160 units
15 Purchase 180 units at $33
24 Sale 150 units
Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of goods sold on October 24 and (b) the inventory on October 31. a. Cost of goods sold on October 24 b. Inventory on October 31
Answer:
a) cost of goods sold on October 24 = $4,830
b) Inventory on October 31 = 70 units
Explanation:
a) First-in-first-out (FIFO) inventory system is a type of inventory accounting system where the oldest inventory goods are recorded as sold first befor the newer ones.
on October 24, 150 units of goods were sold
Let us calculate the amount of inventory remaining from the old stock after the first sales:
On October 1, the inventory = 200 units at $30/unit
October 7: sales = 160 units
Units remaining = 200 - 160 = 40 units at $30/unit
on October 15, 180 units were purchased at $33
Now, the sales on October 24 = 150 units.
out of these 150 units, using FIFO, the old stock of 40 units at $30 (as calculated above) will be sold first, then the remaining 110 units will be sold from the October 15 purchases.
Therefore total cost of goods sold:
40units at $30 = 40 × 30 = $1200
110 units at $33 = 110 × 33 = $3630
Total cost of goods sold = 3630 + 1200 = $4,830
b) beginning inventory = 200 units
Sale in Oct. 7 = 160 units
After the sales on Oct. 7, the inventory = 200 - 160 = 40 units
A purchase of 180 units was made on Oct. 15. Therefore, total number of units available on Oct. 15 = 180 + 40 = 220 units
Finally, 150 units were sold on Oct. 24, Therefore the inventory on Oct. 31
= 220 - 150 = 70 units
Find the future value of an annuity with monthly deposits of $150, made over a period of 10 years, with 5% interest compounded monthly g
Answer:
Explanation:
Future value of an annuity FVA = ?
annuity = 150 .
period = 10 years
= 10 x 12 = 120 months
rate of interest 5%
monthly interest = 5 / 12 = .41667
FVA = 150 [ ( 1.0041667)¹²⁰] / .0041667
X = 150 [ ( 1.0041667)¹²⁰] / .0041667
2.778 x 10⁻⁵ X = ( 1.0041667)¹²⁰
- 5 + log 2.778 + log X = 120 log 1.0041667
- 4.55627 + log X = .2167
log X = 4.77297
X = $59288.43 .
You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companies will not lend you the required $126,000. However, the realtor persuades the seller to take a $126,000 mortgage (called a seller take-back mortgage) at a rate of 5%, provided the loan is paid off in full in 3 years. You expect to inherit $140,000 in 3 years, but right now all you have is $14,000, and you can afford to make payments of no more than $22,000 per year given your salary. (The loan would call for monthly payments, but assume end-of-year annual payments to simplify things.)
Required:
a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?
b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?
c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of house = $140,000
Down payment = $14000
Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV
Rate (r) = 5%
Yearly payment one can afford = 22000
a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?
Number of period = 3
Using the relation:
PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n
PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3
PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)
PMT = 46,268.23
He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000
b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?
PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n
PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30
PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)
PMT = 8196.48
He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000
c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?
Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:
Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]
Where
PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48
r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05
n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27
PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]
PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]
PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]
PV = 120,021.32
Balloon payment :
120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80
a. The annual payment if the Mortgage was amortized over three years is $45,315.96 (Interest + Principal)
The Mortgage payments are not affordable because his affordability funds are limited to $22,000 annually.

b. The annual payment if the Mortgage was amortized over thirty years is $8,116.80 (Interest + Principal)
The Mortgage payments are now affordable with his affordability amount of $22,000 per year.

3 $122,186.97 $6,062.70 $2,054.10 $120,132.93
c. Payments made by the end of the third year were $5,867.07 with a balance of $120,132.93.
Data and Calculations:
Cost of house = $140,000
Down payment = $14,000
Mortgage value = $126,000($140,000 - $14,000)
Mortgage interest rate = 5%
Affordable annual payments = $22,000
Thus, the balloon payment is always based on an agreed percentage of the loan, which is not provided here.

Assume that in January 2017, the average house price in a particular area was $300,400. In January 2001, the average price was $207,300. What was the annual increase in selling price
Answer:
r = 0.023455 or 2.3455% rounded off to 2.35%
Explanation:
We are given the future value and the present value of house. To calculate the annual percentage increase in the price of the house over the period of 16 years from January 2001 to January 2017, we can use wither use the formula for Future Value or Present value.
Here we are solving it using the future value formula which is,
FV = PV * (1 + r)^t
Where,
FV is Future ValuePV is Present valuer is the annual rate of increaset is time period in yearsPlugging in the values for FV, PV and t, we can calculate the value of r r annual percentage increase in the price.
300400 = 207300 * (1 + r)^16
300400 / 207300 = (1 + r)^16
1.449107574 = (1 + r)^16
Eliminating the power 16 by taking a power of 1/16 on both sides.
(1.449107574)^1/16 = (1 + r)^16/16
1.023455087 = 1 + r
1.023455087 - 1 = r
r = 0.023455 or 2.3455% rounded off to 2.35%

e. as the price of a good increases, buyers are willing and able to purchase less.
In a market economy, there is relationship between the price of a good and the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase.
Answer:
Explanation: The concept of demand usually deals with the consumers yearning for goods and services and the factors which determines the purchasing decision of consumers and the amount being purchased. Quantity and price are two associated variables which can be used to examine consumer behavior towards a certain product. Hence, demand for a product often refers to the quantity of product purchased or demanded by consumers based on the price of the product.
The demand proposition is simply of the notion that the number of quantity demanded for a certain product falls as the price of such product inversa and vice versa. The demand for a product decreases as its price begins to rise, leading consumers to look for substitute products which cost less.

How has the introduction of these markets, technologies and resources affected the lifestyle of the people of Cuba
Answer:
he economy of Cuba is a largely planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises. The government of Cuba owns and operates most industries and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ruling Communist Party of Cuba encouraged the formation of worker co-operatives and self-employment. However, greater private property and free market rights were granted by the 2019 Constitution.[10][11] It has also been acknowledged that foreign market investment in various Cuban economic sectors increased before 2019 as well.[12][13]
As of 2000, public-sector employment was 76% and private-sector employment (mainly composed of self-employment) was 23% - compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%.[14] Investment is restricted and requires approval by the government. The government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2016 Cuba ranked 68th out of 182 countries, with a Human Development Index of 0.775, much higher than its GDP per capita rank (95th).[15]As of 2012, the country's public debt comprised 35.3% of GDP, inflation (CDP) was 5.5%, and GDP growth was 3%.[16]
Housing and transportation costs are low. Cubans receive government-subsidized education, healthcare and food subsidies.[17]
The country achieved a more even distribution of income after the Cuban Revolution of 1953–1959,[citation needed] which was followed by an economic embargo by the United States (1960- ). During the Cold War period, the Cuban economy was heavily dependent on subsidies from the Soviet Union, valued at $65 billion in total from 1960 to 1990 (over three times as the entirety of U.S. economic aid to Latin America), an average of $2.17 billion a year.[18] This accounted for anywhere between 10% and 40% of Cuban GDP, depending on the year.[19] While the massive Soviet subsidies did enable Cuba's enormous state budget, they did not lead to a more advanced or sustainable Cuban economy; although described by economists as "a relatively highly developed Latin American export economy" in 1959 and the early 1960s, Cuba's basic economic structure changed very little between then and 1990. Tobacco products such as cigars and cigarettes were the only manufactured products among Cuba's leading exports, and even these were produced by a preindustrial process. The Cuban economy remained inefficient and over-specialized in a few highly subsidized commodities provided by the Soviet bloc countries.[20] Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's GDP declined by 33% between 1990 and 1993, partially due to the loss of Soviet subsidies[21] and a crash in sugar prices in the early 1990s. It rebounded in the early 2000s due to a combination of marginal liberalization of the economy and heavy subsidies from the friendly government of Venezuela, which provided Cuba with low-cost oil and other subsidies worth up to 12% of Cuban GDP annually.[22] Cuba retains high levels of healthcare and education.[23]

Pearsall Company's defined benefit pension plan had a PBO of $275,000 on January 1, 2021. During 2021, pension benefits paid were $45,000. The discount rate for the plan for this year was 11%. Service cost for 2021 was $88,000. Plan assets (fair value) increased during the year by $55,000. The amount of the PBO at December 31, 2021, was:
Answer:
$329,150
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of the PBO at December 31, 2021
PBO/1/1 $265,000
Add Service Cost 80,000
Add Interest Cost 29,150
($265,000 x 11%)
Less Benefits Paid (45,000)
PBO 12/31 $329,150
Therefore The amount of the PBO at December 31, 2021, was: $329,150
You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today
Answer:
The annual rate of return is 2.10%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Let us assume the annual rate of return be K
K is
= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1
= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1
= 2.10%
Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%

DelRay Foods must purchase a new gumdrop machine. Two machines are available. Machine 7745 has a first cost of $8,000, an estimated life of 10 years, a salvage value of $1,000, and annual operating costs estimated at $0.01 per 1,000 gumdrops. Machine A37Y has a first cost of $8,000, a life of 10 years, and no salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be $260 regardless of the number of gumdrops produced. MARR is 6%/year, and 30 million gumdrops ware produced each year.
Based on an internal rate of return analysis, which machine should be recommended?
Answer:
I would recommend Machine 7745
Explanation:
Machine 7745
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $300
depreciation cost per year = $700
salvage value (at year 10) = $1,000
total costs per year (1 - 9) = $1,000
total costs year 10 = $0
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 2%. Since you are analyzing costs only, not incremental revenue, then you must select the project with the lowest IRR.
Machine A37Y
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $260
depreciation cost per year = $800
total costs per year (1 - 10) = $1,060
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 4%
Firms usually offer their customers some form of trade credit. This allowance comes with certain terms of credit, which affect the cost of asset of sale for the buyer as well as the seller. Consider this case:Primatech Goods Corp. buys most of its raw materials from a single supplier. This supplier sells to Primatech Goods Corp. on terms of 2/20, net 30.What is the cost per period of the trade credit extended to Primatech Goods Corp.?a. 2.04%b. 2.24%c. 1.73%d. 1.94%What is the nominal annual cost of Primatech Goods Corp.'s trade credit?a. 63.29%b. 78.18%c. 81.91%d. 74.46%If Primatech Goods Corp.'s supplier shortens the discount period to five days, it will _____ the cost of the trade credit.a. increaseb. decrease
Answer:
a. 2.04%d. 74.46%b. decreaseExplanation:
1. Cost per period
= Discount/ (1 - Discount)
= 2% / ( 1 - 2%)
= 2.04%
2. Nominal Annual cost
= Cost per period * (365 / (Payment period - Discount period)
= 2.04% * [tex]\frac{365}{30 - 20}[/tex]
= 74.46%
3. Shortens it to five days.
= 2.04% * [tex]\frac{365}{30 - 5}[/tex]
= 29.78%
If Primatech Goods Corp.'s supplier shortens the discount period to five days, it will decrease the cost of the trade credit.
Clean Tel, Inc. is considering investing in an 11-year project with annual cash inflows of $1,000,000. These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
Use the Time Value of Money Techniques to find the discount rate as follows:
Pmt = $1,000,000
Pv = - $7,139,000
Fv = $0
P/yr = 1
N = 11
I = ?
Using a financial calculator to input the values as above, the discount rate (i) to be used is 8%
A company issued 130 shares of $100 par value common stock for $15,400 cash. The total amount of paid-in capital in excess of par is:
Answer:
$2,400
Explanation:
For par stated shares, any amount paid in excess of the par value is called paid-in capital in excess of par and is included in shareholders equity reserves.
So, from the total price remove the par value price of 130 shares to determine the paid-in capital in excess of par.
Paid-in capital in excess of par = Total Paid - Price at Par
= $15,400 - (130 shares × $100)
= $2,400

Warrix Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range.
Sales (3,000 units) $120,000
Variable expenses 90,000
Contribution margin 30,000
Fixed expenses 27,000
Net operating income $3,000
a. If sales increase to 3,100 units, net operating income would be closest to: ____________
b. If sales increase to 3,100 units, the breakeven point in units would:_____________
c. If sales increase to 3,100 units, the degree of operating leverage would:___________
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (3,000 units) $120,000
Variable expenses 90,000
Contribution margin 30,000
Fixed expenses 27,000
Net operating income $3,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 30,000/3,000= $10
a) Sales= 3,100
Contribution margin= 3,100*10= 31,000
Fixed expense= (27,000)
Net operating income= 4,000
b) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 27,000/10
Break-even point in units= 2,700
c) Finally, the degree of operating leverage:
Degree of operating leverage= % change in income/ % change in sales
Degree of operating leverage= [(4,000-3,000)/3,000] / [(3,100-3,000) / 3,000]
Degree of operating leverage= 10

Answer:
1.08 times
Explanation:
Mason corporation has $650,000 in invested assets
Sales is $700,000
Operating income is $99,000
Minimum investment on return is 15 percent
Therefore the investment turnover for mason corporation can be calculated as follows
= net sales/debt
= 700,000/650,000
= 1.08 times
Pyramid Products Company has a revolving credit agreement with its bank. The company can borrow up to $1 million under the agreement at an annual interest rate of 9 percent. Pyramid is required to maintain a 10 percent compensating balance on any funds borrowed under the agreement and to pay a 0.5 percent commitment fee on the unused portion of the credit line. Assume that Pyramid has no funds in the account at the bank that can be used to meet the compensating balance requirement. Determine the annual financing cost of borrowing each of the following amounts under the credit agreement:
a. $250,000
b. $500,000
c. $1,000,000
Answer:
a. $250,000
if you borrow $250,000, you will only get $225,000, but you will still have to pay interest for the whole amount, so total interest charge = $250,000 x 9% = $22,500. Additionally, you must pay $750,000 x 0.5% for the unused portion = $3,750.
total interests charged = $26,250 / $250,000 = 10.5%
b. $500,000
if you borrow $500,000, you will only get $450,000, but you will still have to pay interest for the whole amount, so total interest charge = $500,000 x 9% = $45,000. Additionally, you must pay $500,000 x 0.5% for the unused portion = $2,500.
total interests charged = $47,500 / $450,000 = 10.56%
c. $1,000,000
since you need to have at least 10% in the bank, if you borrow $1,000,000, you will only get $900,000. So you cannot actually borrow $1 million, your net borrowing = $900,000. But you will still have to pay interest for the whole amount, so total interest charge = $1,000,000 x 9% = $90,000.
total interests charged = $90,000 / $900,000 = 10%
