You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To save for retirement, you will invest $800 per month in a stock account in real dollars and $400 per month in a bond account in real dollars. The effective annual return of the stock account is expected to be 11 percent, and the bond account will earn 7 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an effective return of 9 percent. The returns are stated in nominal terms. The inflation rate over this period is expected to be 4 percent.

Green Penguin Pencil Company has a total asset turnover ratio of 3.50x, net annual sales of $40 million, and operating expenses of $18 million (including depreciation and amortization). On its balance sheet and income statement, respectively, it reported total debt of $2.50 million on which it pays a 11% interest rate.
To analyze a company's financial leverage situation, you need to measure the firm's debt management ratios. Based on the preceding information, what are the values for Green Penguin Pencil's debt management ratios? The U.S. tax structure influences a firm's willingness to finance with debt. The tax structure debt.

Answers

Solution :

a). Asset turnover ratio = total sales / total asset   = 3.50

     Total asset         =   40 million / 3.5      =   1142857

     Total debt          =  2.50 million

Therefore, the debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{\text{debt}}{\text{total asset}}$[/tex]

                                         [tex]$=\frac{2500000}{1142857}$[/tex]

                                         = 2.18

b). Time interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest

  EBIT = net sales - operating expense

           = 40,000,000 - 18,000,000

           = $ 22,000,000

Interest expense  = 10 % x 2,500,000

                              =  $ 250,000

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/ interest expense

                                              = [tex]$\frac{\$ 22,000,000}{\$250,000}$[/tex]

                                               = 88 times

c). Total equity = total asset - total debt

                         =  400,000,000 - 2,500,000

                         = 397,500,000

   Money raised from the creditor for each dollar of equity

                         = 2,500,000/397,500,000

                         = 6%

Acme Fastener and Tool is having major problems with demand management. The VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels. Of the following, which problem is the firm experiencing?
a. Functional silos.
b. Lack of attention on operational planning.
c. Overemphasis on forecasting.
d. Focus on tactics.

Answers

Answer:

Functional silos

Explanation:

Functional silo occurs when different teams with their responsibilities and functions have different views about a process.

The managers who have accumulated resources and influence are conflicted over the functional aspects of a process rather than looking out for the wider benefit of the business.

In the given scenario VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels.

They are both pursuing conflicting agendas instead of working together.

This is called functional silo.

A company has 1000000 shares outstanding trading at $15 a piece. Managers believe that the discount rate appropriate for the risk borne is 15% and total cash flows, expected to be $1 million next year, will rise by 5% per year indefinitely. Discuss a strategy that is beneficial to the current shareholders.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Knowing the value of the equity and establishing the intrinsic worth of the share may help you develop a perfect strategy that will benefit the current shareholders.

Value of the equity =  Cashflow÷(discount rate - growth rate)

= $1,000,000 ÷ (15%-5%)  

= $1,000,000 ÷ (10%)  

= $10,000,000

Intrinsic value per share = Value of the equity ÷ Shares outstanding

= $10,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $10

For the share, The intrinsic value = $10

However, since the current trading share price is $15, then we can posit that the share price is over-valued.

As a result, the perfect strategy that will be beneficial to the shareholders is for the current shareholders to sell the shares (short selling at a high price and purchasing at a low price).

If a well-diversified portfolio of stocks has an expected return of 15% when the expected return on the market portfolio is 10%, then:__________a) Treasury bills are offering a 7% yield.b) The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0.c) The portfolio beta equals 1.67.d) The investor's portfolio contains many defensive stocks.

Answers

Answer:

B. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0

Explanation:

the answer to this question is option b. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0. the reason is simple. we have the portfolio of expected return, which is 15% to be greater than the market portfolio of return which is 10 percent, then this is to tell us that the portfolio beta is going to be greater than 1.

15% is greater than 10%.

The desired ending cash balance is $30,600. To attain its desired ending cash balance for January, the company should borrow:

Answers

Answer:

Company should borrow = $15200

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the borrowing amount:

Cash balance at the beginning = $18600

Add - Cash receipts = 186000

Less- Cash disbursements = (189200)

Budgeted cash balance = 18600 + 186000 - 189200 = 15400

Borrowing will be = Ending cash - 15400

Borrowing will be = 30600 - 15400

Borrowing will be = $15200

Company should borrow = $15200

Pope’s Garage had the following accounts and amounts in its financial statements on December 31, 2019. Assume that all balance sheet items reflect account balances at December 31, 2019, and that all income statement items reflect activities that occurred during the year then ended.

Accounts receivable $33,000
Depreciation expense 12,000
Land 27,000
Cost of goods sold 90,000
Retained earnings 59,000
Cash 9,000

e. What was the average income tax rate for Pope’s Garage for 2019?
f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below

= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory

= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000

= $79,000

b The total liabilities and owners equity is

= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings

= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000

= $132,000

c. The earnings from operations is

Sales revenue $140,000

Less cost of goods sold $90,000

Gross profit $50,000

add: service revenue $20,000

Less depreciation expense $12,000

Less supplies expense $14,000

Operating income $44,000

d. The net income is

= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense

= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000

= $28,000

e. The average income tax rate is

= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100

= 30%

f. The beginning retained earnings is

= $59,000 + $16,000  - $28,000

= $47,000

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above

Answers

Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.

Explanation:

Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.

As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.

Based on this income statement for Company XYZ for the year ending December 31, 2014, what adjustment would need to be made to Net Income to account for Gain or Loss in calculating cash flow from Operating Activities using the indirect method

Answers

Answer:

a) Adjustment of (16,000) in the operating section.

Explanation:

While preparing the operating activities section of the cash flow statement, the net income, depreciation expense, amortization expense, loss on sale of an asset should be added and the profit on sale should be deducted

So there is the loss of $30,000 that should be added and the gain on sale should be deducted i.e. $46,000

So there is an adjustment of -$16,000 in the operating activities section

A

Schell Company manufactures automobile floor mats. It currently has two product lines, the Standard and the Deluxe. Suppose that Schell has conducted further research into its overhead and potential cost drivers. As a result, the company has compiled the following detailed information, breaking total overhead into three cost pools:
Activity Cost Pools Cost Driver Cost Assigned to Pool Quantity/Amount Consumed by Standard Floor Mat Line Quantity/Amount Consumed by
Deluxe Floor Mat Line
Material handling
Number of moves
$
2,300.00
50 moves
50 moves
Quality control
Number of inspections
$
8,763.00
570 inspections
700 inspections
Machine maintenance
Number of machine hours
$
14,360.00
3,090 machine hours
4,090 machine hours
Required :
1. Calculate the activity rates for each cost pool assuming Schell uses an ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Activity Rate
Material Handing
Per Material Move
Quality Control
Per Inspection
Maintenance
Per Machine Hourm
2. Calculate the amount of overhead that Schell will assign to the Standard floor mat line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.
Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The activity rate for each cost pool is

Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00

Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570  + 700) = $6.90

Machine Maintenance ($14,360)  ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00

2    

Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is

= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090

= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180

= $11,263.00

3    

Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line

= $23 × 50 +  $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090

= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180

= $14,160.00

Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $38 a share. It just paid a dividend of $1.5 a share (i.e., D0 = $1.5). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year.

Required:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
b. What is the required rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

b 6.87%

a 56.53

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

38 = (1.5 x 1.04) / (r - 0.04)

38 (r - 0.04) = 1.092

r - 0,04 = 0.0287

r = 6.87%

1.5 x (1.04^2) / 6.87 - 4 = 56.53

According to real business cycle theorists, ______________ consumption resulting from the major production innovations incentivizes businesses to borrow ______________ from banks, causing the money supply to ______________.

Answers

Answer:

increase in,  more,  increase

Explanation:

Real business cycle theory states that the [tex]\text{macroeconomic fluctuations}[/tex] in any economy can be explained by the technological shocks and the changes in the productivity. All these changes in the technological growth affects the decisions of the firms on investment as well as workers or the labor supply.

Edward C. Prescott and Finn E. Kydland first gave the concept of real business cycle theory.

In the theory of real business cycle, the increase in consumption results from the major [tex]\text{production innovations incentivizes businesses}[/tex] to borrow more from the banks, and it causes the supply of money to increase.

Birmingham Bolt, Inc., has been approached by one of its customers about producing 800,000 special-purpose parts for a new home product. The customer wants 100,000 parts per year for eight years. To provide these parts, Birmingham would need to acquire a $500,000 new production machine. The new machine would have no salvage value at the end of its eight-year life. The customer has offered to pay Birmingham $7.50 per unit for the parts. Birmingham’s managers have estimated that, in addition to the new machine, the company would incur the following costs to produce each part:

Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable 2.00
Total $6.50

In addition, annual fixed out-of-pocket costs related to the production of these parts would be $20,000.

a. Compute the net present value of the machine investment, assuming that the company uses a discount rate of 9 percent to evaluate capital projects.
b. Based on the NPV computed in (a), is the machine a worthwhile investment? Explain.
c. In addition to the NPV, what other factors should Birmingham’s managers consider when making the investment decision?

Answers

Answer:

Birmingham Bolt, Inc.

a. The net present value of the machine investment = ($57,214.47).

b. Based on the computed NPV in (a), the machine is not a worthwhile investment.  Birmingham will lose $57,214.47 from the investment.

c. In addition to the NPV, the other factors that Birmingham’s managers  should consider when making the investment decision are:

1. the probability of reducing the variable costs per unit of production by achieving productivity efficiencies.

2. whether the price could be reviewed upward with the customer.

3. whether there will be increased demand for the product in the future.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Special-purpose parts for a new home product = 800,000 parts

Annual requirement of the parts = 100,000

Period of contract = 8 years

Discount rate = 9%

Initial investment in production machine = $500,000

Price offer per part = $7.50

Annual sales revenue from parts = $750,000

Variable costs;

Direct labor      $2.00

Direct material $2.50

Variable           $2.00

Total                $6.50                     $650,000

Contribution margin                      $100,000

Annual fixed costs                          $20,000

Annual net cash inflow                  $80,000

PV of annual cash inflows = $442,785.53

NPV = ($57,214.47) ($442,785.53 - $500,000)

N (# of periods)  8

I/Y (Interest per year)  9

PMT (Periodic Payment)  80000

FV (Future Value)  0

Results

PV = $442,785.53

Sum of all periodic payments = $640,000.00

Total Interest = $197,214.47

c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.

Answers

Answer:

elastic

16%

32%

decrease

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on December 31 of each year beginning December 31, 2021. The present value of the lease payments is $1,006,192. Francisco's incremental borrowing rate is 14% for this type of lease. The implicit rate of 12% is known by the lessee. What should be the balance in Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022

Answers

Answer: $789855

Explanation:

Initial liability = $1,006,192

Less: Payment = $159,000

Liability = $847192

× Implicit rate 12%

Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663

Then, reduced balance will be:

= Payment - Interest

= $159,000 - $101663

= $57337

Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:

= $847192 - $57337

= $789855

Emily and Betsey are economists. Emily thinks that the wealthiest 10 percent of the U.S. population should be taxed a rate higher than the rest of society because they can better afford it. Betsey thinks that everyone should be taxed at the same rate because that is the fairest scenario and the wealthy should not be penalized for their success. In this example, Emily and Betsey:______

Answers

Answer: b. have different normative views about tax policy.

Explanation:

Economists follow different theories and principles on how the world should be so most times they will disagree with each other on key issues such as taxation and government intervention in markets.

Emily and Betsy both believe in different taxation policies which means that they have different views on how people should be taxed in an economy with one of them believing in a proportional tax regime (Betsey) and the other believing in a progressive tax regime (Emily).
