Answer:
a) $73,320.80
b) $82,068.80
Explanation:
Current market value of bonds:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4.4%)²² = $387.78
PV of coupon payments = $38 x 13.91402(PV annuity factor, 4.4%, 22 periods) = $528.73
Market price = $916.51
$916.51 x 80 = $73,320.80
Current market value of zero coupon bonds:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7.7%)⁹ = $512.93
$512.93 x 160 = $82,068.80

Recall that quotes are reported in basis points, which is the common practice in FX market. According to the interest rate parity, what is the implied foreign interest rate differential
Answer:
b. 13.63%
Explanation:
Multiple choice "(a) 1.01% (b) 1.37% (c) 0.50% (d) -0.50%"
Spot rate = future rate /(1 + interest rate differential)
1.0796 = (1.0796 + 0.007356)/(1 + interest rate differential)
1.0796 = 1.086956 / (1 + interest rate differential)
1.0796 * (1 + interest rate differential) = 1.086956
(1 + interest rate differential) = 1.086956/1.0796
(1 + interest rate differential) = 1.006813634679511
Interest rate differential = 1.006813634679511 - 1
Interest rate differential = 0.006813634679511
interest rate differential = 0.006813634679511*2
interest rate differential = 0.013627269359022
interest rate differential = 13.63%
So, the difference between interest rate of Europe and US is 13.63%.

The Tierney Group has two divisions of equal size: an office furniture manufacturing division and a data processing division. Its CFO believes that stand-alone data processor companies typically have a WACC of 9%, while stand-alone furniture manufacturers typically have a 13% WACC. She also believes that the data processing and manufacturing divisions have the same risk as their typical peers. Consequently, she estimates that the composite, or corporate, WACC is 11%. A consultant has suggested using a 9% hurdle rate for the data processing division and a 13% hurdle rate for the manufacturing division. However, the CFO disagrees, and she has assigned an 11% WACC to all projects in both divisions. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. The decision not to adjust for risk means, in effect, that it is favoring the data processing division. Therefore, that division is likely to become a larger part of the consolidated company over time.
B. The decision not to adjust for risk means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division. This will lead to a reduction in the firm's intrinsic value over time.
C. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the data processing business and too few projects in the manufacturing business. This will lead to a reduction in its intrinsic value over time.
D. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing business and too few projects in the data processing business. This may affect the firm's capital structure but it will not affect its intrinsic value.
E. While the decision to use just one WACC will result in its accepting more projects in the manufacturing division and fewer projects in its data processing division than if it followed the consultant's recommendation, this should not affect the firm's intrinsic value.
Answer:
The Correct statement is option B. The decision of the company not to adjust for risk means that the company will have to accept too many projects in the office furniture manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division.
Explanation:
Based on the information given the decision of the company not to adjust to the risks will lead to the firm accepting project that are too many in the office furniture Manufacturing Divsion while that of data processing Division will accept too few project, which means that the firm will be at risk in a situation where they want to raise the cost of capital reason been that the company cash flow will be Discounted by the investor at a rate that is high which will inturn Lead to the company value to decline.
Therefore The Correct statement is option B.

Consider the following two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.20. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and a beta of 1.80. The expected market rate of return is 9% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Which security would be considered a good buy?
Answer: Stock B
Explanation:
Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.
Stock A
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)
= 9.8%
Stock B
Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)
= 12.2%
Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.
The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.
Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%
Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%
Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy.

You founded your own firm three years ago. You initially contributed $200,000 of your own money and in return you received 2 million shares of stock. Since then, you have sold an additional 1 million shares of stock to angel investors. You are now considering raising capital from a venture capital firm. This venture capital firm would invest $5 million and would receive 4 million newly issued shares in return. After the venture capitalist's investment, the post-money valuation of your shares is closest to
Answer:
$5 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the post-money valuation of your shares
First step is to calculate the total shares outstanding after the venture capitalist's investment:
Total shares = 2 million shares + 1 million shares + 4 million shares
Total shares = 7 million shares
Second step is to calculate the Amount paid by venture capitalist
Using this formula
Amount paid by venture capitalist = Total value / Number of shares purchased
Let plug in the formula
Amount paid by venture capitalist = $5 million / 4 million shares
Amount paid by venture capitalist = $1.25 per share
Last step is to calculate the post-money valuation
Using this formula
Post-money valuation = Amount paid by venture capitalist * Shares subscribed
Let plug in the formula
Post-money valuation = $1.25 * 4 million shares
Post-money valuation = $5 million
Therefore After the venture capitalist's investment, the post-money valuation of your shares is closest to$5 million

Note: This question is not complete has the options are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Mcclam, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $100,000 and would last for 9 years. At the end of 9 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $23,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $19,000 per year. Additional working capital of $2,000 would be needed immediately. All of this working capital would be recovered at the end of the life of the machine. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
A. $3,833
B. $5,167
C. -$2,492
D. $11,514
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Given:
Machine cost = $100,000
Additional working capital = $2,000
Salvage value = $23,000
A = Annual cost saving = $19,000
r = minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
The net present value of the proposed project is now calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the total cost
TC = Total cost = Machine cost + Additional working capital = $100,000 + $2,000 = $102,000
Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the annual cost saving
The present value of the annual cost saving can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PVACS = A * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PVACS = Present value of annual cost saving = ?
A = Annual cost saving = $19,000
r = Minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PVACS = $19,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.13))^9) / 0.13)
PVACS = $19,000 * 5.13165512782676
PVACS = $97,501.45
Step 3: Calculation of the present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PVSW = SW / (1 + r)^n ……………………….. (2)
Where;
PVSW = present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital = ?
SW = salvage value and the recovered working capital = $23,000 + $2,000 = $25,000
r = Minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
PVSW = $25,000 / (1 + 0.13)^9
PVSW = $25,000 / 3.00404193798427
PVSW = $8,322.12
Step 4: Calculation of the net present value of the proposed project
This can be calculated as follows:
NPV = PVACS + PVSV - TC ……………………………. (3)
Where;
NPV = net present value of the proposed project = ?
PVACS = Present value of annual cost saving = $97,501.45
PVSW = present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital = $8,322.12
TC = Total cost = Machine cost + Additional working capital = $100,000 + $2,000 = $102,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
NPV = $97,501.45 + $8,322.12 - $102,000
NPV = $3,824
From the options in the question, the calculated NPV of $3,823.57 is close to option A. $3,833. Therefore, the net present value of the proposed project is closest to $3,833.

If Bramble could avoid $3000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer, net income would increase (decrease) by $(2052). $6534. $534. $(5697).
Answer:
$6534
Explanation:
Calculation for how much the net income would increase or (decrease)
First step is to calculate Total Costs to Make
Direct materials $7,812
Direct labor 10,509
Variable overhead 11,718
Avoidable Fixed 3,000
Total Costs to Make 33,039
Second step is to calculate the Total Costs to Buy
Costs to Buy= $2.85 * 9,300 units
Costs to Buy= $26,505
Last step is to calculate Net Income Increase or Decrease using this formula
Net Income Increase or Decrease = Costs to Make – Costs to Buy
Net Income Increase or Decrease =$ 33,039 -$26,505
Net Income Increase or Decrease = $6534
Therefore how much the net income would increase or (decrease) will be $6534

You purchased eight TJH call option contracts with a strike price of $37.50 when the option quote was $.55. The option expires today when the value of TJH stock is $37.10. Ignoring trading costs and taxes, what is your total profit on your investment
Answer:
-$4.40
Explanation:
Buyer of Call payoff = Max(S-K,0)
Buyer of Call payoff = Max(37.1-37.5,0)
Buyer of Call payoff = $0
Buyer of Call profit = Call payoff-premium
Buyer of Call profit = 0 - 0.55
Buyer of Call profit = -$0.55
So, for 8 options, Loss = 8*-$0.55 = -$4.40

On January 1, 2010, Water Wonderland issues $20 million of 8% bonds, due in ten years, with interest payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 each year. 1. If the market rate is 7%, will the bonds issue at face amount, a discount, or a premium
Answer:
the bonds will trade at a Premium
Explanation:
When the Yield to Maturity (YTM) is less than the Coupon Rate, the price of the Bond will be greater than the par value and we say that the Bond is trading at a Premium.
The Yield to Maturity of 7% is less than the Coupon rate 8% hence the bond will trade at a Premium.
Calculation of the Price of Bond
Alternatively we can calculate the price of the Bond a see for ourselves as follows :
FV = $20,000,000
PMT = ($20,000,000 × 8%) ÷ 2 = $8,00,000
P/YR = 2
YTM = 7 %
N = 10 × 2 = 20
PV = ?
Using a Financial calculator to input the values as above we can calculate the Price of Bond (PV) as $21,421,240.
Accounts Receivable: $24,000Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts: $1,000During the year there were $450,000 of credit sales, $460,000 of collections from credit customers, and $3,700 of write-offs of delinquent accounts. At the end of the year, the company adjusted for bad debts expense using the percent-of-sales method, and applied a rate, based on past history, of 1.2%. At the end of the year, what was the balance in the Accounts receivable
Answer: $10,300
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Opening balance of the account receivable = $24,000
Accounts receivable after the credit sales would be calculated as:
= $24,000 + $450,000
= $474,000
We then calculate the accounts receivable after the collection of credit which will be:
= $474,000 - $460,000
= $14,000
Therefore, the the balance in the accounts receivable would be:
=$14,000 - $3,700
= $10,300

Cold, Inc., reported a $100,000 total tax expense for financial statement purposes in year 1. This total expense consisted of $150,000 in current tax expense and a deferred tax benefit of $50,000. The deferred tax benefit consisted of $90,000 in deferred tax assets reduced by a valuation allowance of $40,000. In year 2, Cold reports $600,000 in book net income before tax. Cold records no other permanent or temporary book-tax differences. At the end of year 2, Cold's management determines that the existing valuation allowance of $40,000 should be reduced to zero. What is Cold's total tax expense for year 2
Answer:
170,000
Explanation:
With $600,000 of book income, the potential total book tax expense is $210,000 ($600,000 × 35%). However, the release of the $40,000 valuation allowance in the current year allows an additional $40,000 of future tax benefits (savings) to be considered in the current year. Accordingly, the total tax expense is $170,000 ($210,000 – $40,000).
Cold's management determines that the existing valuation allowance of $40,000 should be reduced to zero. The Cold's total tax expense for year 2 is 170,000.
What is valuation allowance?The amount of a deferred tax asset is offset by a reserve called a valuation allowance. Based on that element of the tax asset for which it is more probable than not that a tax advantage won't be realized by the reporting business, the allowance's size is determined.
The potential total book tax expense with $600,000 in book income is $210,000 ($600,000 x 35%).
However, an additional $40,000 in future tax benefits (savings) can be taken into account in the current year due to the release of the valuation allowance in the current year.
The total tax expense is therefore $170,000 ($210,000 - $40,000).
