Answer:
The required rate of return on the risky projects is 17.40%
Explanation:
The required rate of return on average risky projects of Frank and Sons can be computed using the cost of equity formula below:
Ke=Rf+beta*(Mr-Rf)
Rf is the risk rate of return on government security which is 7%
beta is the sensitivity of the project to market return is 1.3
Mr is the market expected return which is 15%
Ke=7%+1.3*(15%-7%)
Ke=7%+1.3*8%
Ke=7%+10.4%
Ke=17.40%
The required rate of return on the risky projects is 17.40%
On January 2, 2015, Pharoah Corporation issued $1,700,000 of 10% bonds at 97 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable "interest method.") The bonds are callable at 102 (i.e., at 102% of face amount), and on January 2, 2020, Pharoah called $1,020,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Pharoah as a result of retiring the $1,020,000 of bonds in 2020. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.)
Answer:
The loss on redemption will be for 35,700
Explanation:
bonds value at issuance:
1,700,000 x 97% = 1,649,000
discount: 51,000
amortized over straight line: 5,100 per year
5,100 x 5 = 25,500
discount at Jan 2020 51,000 - 25,500 = 25,500
book value at Jan 2020:
1,700,000 - 25,500 = 1,674,500
1,020,000/1,700,000 = 0.6
$1,674,500 x 60% = $1,004,700
redemption cost:
1,020,000 x 102/100 = 1,040,400
Loss (difference between book value and redemption) 35,700
For 2018, Winters Manufacturing uses machineminushours as the only overhead costminusallocation base. The direct cost rate is $ 2 per unit. The selling price of the product is $ 27. The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $ 220 comma 000 and estimated 20 comma 000 machine hours. The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $ 225 comma 000 and actual machine hours are 25 comma 000. What is the profit margin earned if each unit requires two machineminushours?
Answer:
Profit margin = $3 per unit
Explanation:
The profit margin earned is the difference between selling price and the manufacturing cost
Manufacturing cost per unit = variable cost + fixed overhead cost per unit
overhead absorption rate = estimated overhead/estimated machine hours
=$220,000/20,000 machine hours
= $11 per hour
Manufacturing cost per unit = 2 + (11 × 2) = $24 per unit
Profit margin = 27 - 24
= $3 per unit
Again, please consider the closed economy of Economia, which has the following information:
$6500 consumption
$7500 government spending (NOT including transfer payments)
$10,000 overall taxes
$2000 transfer payments
$18,000 total income (output)
Carefully following all instructions, calculate (total) national savings for this economy.
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total national saving is shown below:
As we know that
National savings = Total income - consumption - government spending
= $18,000 - $6,500 - $7,500
= $4,000
By deducting the consumption and the government spending from the total income we can get the national savings and the same is applied
Nina has a part-time job as she finishes her degree in fashion design. After obtaining her degree she decides to quit her part-time job to search for a job that better fits her now-improved skill set. Nina has a few interviews, but it is taking time to find the job that suits her best. Nina would be considered cyclically unemployed. a discouraged worker tructura uneoveremployed. frictionally unemployed.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": frictionally unemployed.
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment is one component of what economists call natural unemployment triggered by factors other than a poorly performing economy. Temporary job transfers caution frictional unemployment. This involves cases such as new employees joining the workforce, people moving to another city in search of a job, or people quitting to look for a better one.
XYZ has a current market price of $30.00 per share with earnings last year of $2.50 per share, a beta of 1.1 and a dividend of $1.25. Using the price/earnings multiplier, what price do you expect the stock to trade at if earnings per share next year are $3.00
Answer:
The expected price for the stock is $36
Explanation:
The price earning multiple is a measure that provides the information regarding how much are the investors willing to pay for each $1 of earnings per share. The formula for price earnings multiple is,
P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share
Based on the information, the P/E multiple for XYZ is,
P/E = 30 / 2.5 = 12
Using this price / earnings multiplier, we calculate the price at which the stock will trade as,
12 = Price per share / 3
12 * 3 = Price per share
Price per share = $36
A college raises its annual tuition from $16,000 to $17,000, and its student enrollment falls from 4,600 to 4,300. The price elasticity of demand is about ________. Therefore, the demand for college is _______.
Answer:
The PED is about -1.043. Therefore, the demand for college is price elastic.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity and responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price levels.
A PED of 1 means that price elasticity of demand is unitary elastic and any % change in price will bring about the same % change in demand.
A PED of greater than 1 means that the price elasticity of demand is elastic and the percentage change in demand will be greater than percentage change in price.
A PED of less than 1 means that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic and the percentage change in demand will be greater than percentage change in price.
The PED is calculated using the following formula,
PED = % change in Quantity demanded / % change in Price
PED = [(4300 - 4600) / 4600 ] / [(17000 - 16000) / 16000 ]
PED = -1.043
The minus sign represents that the good is a normal good.
As the PED is greater than 1, the PED is elastic for the product.
john Hayes and Lynn Magosian, auditors for a public accounting firm, went to lunch at the Bay View Restaurant in San Francisco. John left his raincoat with a coatroom attendant, but Lynn took her new raincoat with her to the dining room, where she hung it on a coat hook near her booth. When leaving the restaurant, Lynn discovered that someone had taken her raincoat. When John sought to claim his raincoat at the coatroom, it could not be found. The attendant advised that it might have been taken while he was on his break. John and Lynn sued the restaurant, claiming that the restaurant was a bailee of the raincoats and had a duty to return them. Are both John and Lynn correct
Answer:
John is correct but Lynn isn't
Explanation:
John is correct because he left his coat with the coatroom attendant under the premise that it would be properly looked after and returned to him when he was done having lunch at the restaurant. However, Lynn just left her coat lying around under no ones care or supervision, there wasn't a predetermined agreement that anyone would be responsible for watching it on her behalf, therefore I don't think she is has the right to sue.
On January 1, 2021, Warren Corporation had 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On March 1, the corporation issued 200,000 new shares to raise additional capital. On July 1, the corporation declared and issued a 2-for-1 stock split. On October 1, the corporation purchased on the market 600,000 of its own outstanding shares and retired them. Compute the weighted average number of shares to be used in computing earnings per share for 2021.
Answer:
1,616,667
Explanation:
January-February 28 1,000,000*2/12=166,667
March-June 30 1,200,000*4/12= 400,000
July-September 30 1,200,000*2*3/12=600,000
October-December 31 (2,400,000-600,000)*3/12=450,000
Weighted Average Shares for EPS for 2021=1,616,667
Final answer:
The weighted average number of shares for Warren Corporation for 2021 is calculated based on different periods during which the number of shares outstanding changed. The final weighted average for the year is 1,616,667 shares.
Explanation:
To compute the weighted average number of shares for Warren Corporation in the year 2021, we consider the shares outstanding throughout the year and any changes that occur due to issuance of new shares, stock splits, and retirement of shares. Here is the breakdown:
From January 1 to February 28 (2 months), there were 1,000,000 shares outstanding.
On March 1, 200,000 new shares were issued, making it 1,200,000 shares outstanding from March 1 to June 30 (4 months).
On July 1, a 2-for-1 stock split occurred, doubling the number of shares to 2,400,000 outstanding from July 1 to September 30 (3 months).
On October 1, 600,000 shares were retired, leaving 1,800,000 shares outstanding from October 1 to December 31 (3 months).
We calculate the weighted average by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the time period they were outstanding and then sum those amounts:
(1,000,000 shares x 2/12) = 166,667 shares for Jan-Feb
(1,200,000 shares x 4/12) = 400,000 shares for Mar-Jun
(2,400,000 shares x 3/12) = 600,000 shares for Jul-Sep
(1,800,000 shares x 3/12) = 450,000 shares for Oct-Dec
The sum of these weighted shares is:
166,667 + 400,000 + 600,000 + 450,000 = 1,616,667 shares.
Therefore, the weighted average number of shares for Warren Corporation in the year 2021 is 1,616,667 shares.
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $94.8 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.98 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 15 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.76 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds?
Answer:
Units of bonds to be sold = 51, 122.75 units
Explanation:
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
Interest payment =( 5.98%× $2000)/2
= $59.8
Semi annual yield = 6.76/2 =3.38 %
PV of interest payment
= 59.8× (1-(1.0338)^(-15×2))/0.0338)
=$ 1116.5682
Step 2
PV of redemption value
= 2,000 × (1+0.0338)^(-15×2)
= 737.7923719
Step 3
Price of bond
=$ 1116.568 + 737.7923
=1854.360
Step 4
unit of bonds to be sold
= Amount to be raised /price of bond
=$94.8 million/1854.360
= 51, 122.75 units
The SML helps determine the level of risk aversion among investors. The higher the level of risk aversion, the the slope of the SML. Which kind of stock is most affected by changes in risk aversion? (In other words, which stocks see the biggest change in their required returns?)
Answer: High-beta stocks.
Explanation:
Higher beta stocks are judged to be more volatile than lower beta stock. Essentially, they see the highest change in required returns as a result of risk aversion.
A beta that is greater than 1 shoes that the asset is more volatile than the market which has a beta of 1. If a stock has a beta of 3 for instance. That means it is 200% more volatile than the market.
This is why they are more affected by risk aversion.

1. Suppose that the inflation rate is expected to be 2.35% in the near future using the data provided above, what would be your predictions for the following? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.).
a. The T-bill rate? _________%
b. The expected rate of return on the Big/Value portfolio? __________%
c. The risk premium on th stock market?
Answer:
1. 2.92%
2. 14.59%
3. The risk premium on the stock market does not change.
Explanation:
1. The T-bill rate: real rate + inflation = 0.56% real rate + 2.36 % inflation = 2.92%
The T-bill rate is 2.92%
2. Expected return on Big/Value: T-bill rate + historical risk premium
Expected return on Big/Value: 2.92% T-bill rate + 11.67% historical risk premium = 14.59%
The expected rate of return on the Big/Value portfolio is 14.59%
3. A risk premium is a return on investment above the risk-free rate that an investor needs to be compensated for investing in higher-risk investments. Since the systematic risk i.e the market risk, is expected to remain the same, the risk premium on the stock market is also not expected to experience any change.
To predict the T-bill rate, use the historical average rate. Predict the rate of return on the Big/Value portfolio by subtracting inflation from the mean excess return. Calculate the risk premium on the stock market by subtracting the T-bill rate from the mean excess return for the Market Index.
Explanation:To predict the T-bill rate, we can use the historical average rate of 3.46% annually. So, the predicted T-bill rate would be 3.46%.<\/p>
To predict the expected rate of return on the Big/Value portfolio, we can subtract the inflation rate from the mean excess return for Big Value, giving us a predicted rate of return of 11.67% - 2.35% = 9.32%.<\/p>
The risk premium on the stock market can be calculated by subtracting the T-bill rate from the mean excess return for the Market Index. Therefore, the risk premium on the stock market would be 0.83% - 3.46% = -2.63%.<\/p>

Suppose an institution has purchased a $250,000 mortgage loan from the loan originator and wishes to create a mortgage pass-through security. In doing so, this institution will generate revenue by charging a servicing fee of 35 basis points. If the monthly mortgage payment on the loan is $1,250, how much income is passed through to the investor in the mortgage pass through each month (rounded to the nearest dollar)
Answer: $1,177
Explanation:
First we calculate the Monthly service fee by the formula,
Monthly servicing fee = Monthly servicing fee rate * Outstanding loan balance,
The service fee is 35 basis points which translates to 0.35 % and is an annual figure so we will adjust it to a monthly one,
= (0.35%/12) * $250,000
= $72.92
To calculate amount that passes through to the mortgage pass we do,
Mortgage pass-through amount = Monthly mortgage payment - Monthly servicing fee
= $1,250 - $72.92
= $1,177.08,
= $1,177
$1,177 is the income that will pass through to the investor in the mortgage pass through each month

Answer:
B. Items (2) and (3) above will require adjustment on the books of the depositor.
Explanation:
The reconciling items per the books, items (2), and (3) above will require adjustment on the books of the depositor. The other reconciling items (1) and (4) do not require adjustment because they have already been recorded on the depositor's books.
The principles of internal control are the concepts that require management to set procedures in place to ensure company assets are safeguarded. In other words, these are the principles management uses to establish the ways to protect company assets.
The following data relating to direct materials cost for October of the current year are taken from the records of Good Clean Fun Inc., a manufacturer of organic toys: Quantity of direct materials used 3,000 lb. Actual unit price of direct materials $5.50 per lb. Units of finished product manufactured 1,400 units Standard direct materials per unit of finished product 2 lb. Direct materials quantity variance—unfavorable $1,000 Direct materials price variance—unfavorable $1,500 Determine the standard direct materials cost per unit of finished product, assuming that there was no inventory of work in process at either the beginning or end of the month. If required, round your standard cost per unit answer to two decimal places. Product finished units Standard finished product for direct materials used units Deficiency of finished product for materials used units Standard cost for direct materials $ per unit
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Product finished 1,400 units
b) Standard finished for direct material used =Quantity of direct material used/Standard direct material per unit of finished product
= (3000/2)
= 1500units
c) Deficiency of finished product for material used = Product finished - Standard finished for direct material used
= 1,500- 1,400
= 100units
d) Standard cost for direct material = Direct material variance/Deficiency of finished product for direct material used
= $1,000/100 units
= $10.00
The standard direct materials cost per unit of finished product for Good Clean Fun Inc. is $11. This is achieved by multiplying the standard amount of materials used per unit (2 lb) by the actual unit price ($5.50 per lb). It's also important to note that the company incurred unfavorable direct materials price and quantity variances.
Explanation:The problem essentially requires us to determine the standard direct materials cost per unit of finished product. In other words, we need to know how much it ideally costs to manufacture one unit of the product.
Given that the standard amount of direct materials per unit of the finished product is 2 lbs, and knowing that a Standard Cost Accounting system is used by Good Clean Fun Inc., the Standard Cost of Direct Material can be computed by multiplying the Actual Unit Price ($5.50 per lb) by the standard amount of material used (2 lb). Thus, the standard cost for direct materials per unit is $5.50 x 2 = $11 per unit.
Please note, however, that in practice, variance analyses are also very important. Variance analysis is essentially the quantitative investigation of the difference between actual and planned behavior. In this case, the firm incurred unfavorable direct materials price and quantity variances, meaning it paid more for materials than it had planned (price variance), and it also used more materials than it had planned (quantity variance).

At the beginning of the tax year, Barnaby's basis in the BBB Partnership was $151,800, including his $15,180 share of partnership debt. At the end of the tax year, his share of debt was $22,770. His share of the partnership's income for the year was $60,720, and he received cash distributions totaling $37,950. In addition, his share of the partnership's nontaxable income was $3,036. How much is Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year
Answer: $185,196
Explanation:
To calculate Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year, we do the following.
First we find out the Initial basis after excluding debt in this manner,
= Initial basis including debt - debt
= $151,800 - $15,180
= $136,620
Now that we have done that we then add the following,
= Initial basis after excluding debt + share of the partnership's income + share of debt + share of the partnership's nontaxable income
= $136,620 + $60,720 + $22,770 + $3,036
= $223,146
From this figure we will then subtract cash distributions received to find out his tax basis for the year.
= $223,146 - $37,950
= $185,196
Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year is $185,196
"A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position tests items for which the probability of a material defect averages 0.04. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 53 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $10. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $11 each when they are detected in final product testing. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the inspection rate) if the inspection operation was eliminated. a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)"
Answer:
$23.32
Explanation:
We have the given information as below:
Defective content average = 0.04
Number of units inspected per hour = 53
Hourly rate = $10
Cost involved in final product testing = $11
Now to determine if the inspector position is eliminated, we will need to calculate the number of defective products:
defective products = Defective content average × Number of units inspected per hour
defective products = 0.04 × 53 = 2.12
the hourly cost of defects = defective products × Cost involved in final product testing
The hourly cost of defects = 2.12 × $11 = $23.32
In 2006, Evo Morales assumed the presidency in Bolivia, a South American country in which official commerce is done in Spanish. Morales was the first Bolivian president of indigenous descent. As president, he quickly instituted reforms that were designed to reduce discrimination against indigenous populations with the aim of eventually reducing inequality. Suppose discrimination before Morales took two forms–discrimination in education by not providing state funds to educate all children (and particularly not educating indigenous children in their native language or in Spanish), and discrimination in the job market by firms not willingly hiring indigenous workers.
(a) In terms of education, which policy would be better at combating discrimination and inequality:
(1) Providing state funds to educate all people in their native languages or (2) providing state funds for a public education system that requires all people to learn Spanish and a second, indigenous lanuguage? Why?
Answer:
Education is vital part of each ones' life. The more you get more you will acquire and more learning you get. In order to reduce the segregation or imbalance government need to spend its reserve so as to diminish disparity by giving appropriate education. Here so in order to reduce disparity the two languages are essential as government need to spend with the goal that one can study Spanish and one indigenous language so they can investigate themselves in various languages and investigate themselves that further discriminate among the two.
You purchased 1,350 shares of stock in Natural Chicken Wings, Inc., at a price of $43.58 per share. Since you purchased the stock, you have received dividends of $1.09 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a price of $47.76 per share. What was your total percentage return on this investment

a. Anne-Marie and Yancy will need $49,800 in today's dollars for retirement, taking into account a 70% replacement rate and an additional $5,000 for an annual cruise. b. Their projected annual income shortfall is $3,520. c. The future value of the shortfall 29 years from now, with a 3% inflation rate, is $9,314.4. d. Assuming an 8% nominal rate of return and 22 years in retirement, the future value of their accumulated retirement savings would be $27,564.36.
Explanation:
a. To calculate the income needed in today's dollars for retirement, we can use the concept of replacement rate. The replacement rate is the percentage of pre-retirement income that is needed in retirement. In this case, Anne-Marie and Yancy need 70% replacement rate. If their current living expenditures are $64,000 a year, then their needed income in retirement would be 70% of $64,000, which is $44,800.
Additionally, they want an additional $5,000 a year for the cruise. Therefore, their total income needed in retirement would be $44,800 + $5,000 = $49,800.
b. Calculating the projected annual income shortfall involves subtracting the expected retirement income from the needed income. The retirement income consists of Social Security income and retirement benefits, which is $18,236 + $28,044 = $46,280. The projected annual income shortfall would be $49,800 - $46,280 = $3,520.
c. To determine the future value of the shortfall 29 years from now, we can use the formula for compound interest. Assuming an inflation rate of 3%, the future value would be $3,520 multiplied by (1 + 0.03)^29 = $3,520 multiplied by 2.645 = $9,314.4.
d. Assuming a nominal rate of return of 8% and 22 years in retirement, we can calculate the future value of the accumulated retirement savings. Using the formula for compound interest, the future value would be ($49,800 - $46,280) multiplied by (1 + 0.08)^22 = $3,520 multiplied by 7.823 = $27,564.36.
Assume that "cost of processing" includes all labor and materials, including the owner's wages. Assume further that Isabel's family signed a long-term contract (20 years) with a service company to keep the machines in good repair for a fixed fee of $3 comma 650 per year, or $10 per day. Derive the firm's total cost curve. 1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, draw the total cost curve. Properly label your curve.
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
In the field of economics, to draw a graph that will show a cost curve of any item will involve the costs of production as a function of the overall quantity that was produced. When there’s a free market economy, productively effective and efficient firms optimize their production procedures by reducing their cost consistent with each potential level of production, thereby resulting into a cost curve.
Kindly check the attached images below to see the full explanation and the graphical presentation of the total cost curve.
Having just returned from the war in Afghanistan, David has $25,000 in his savings account. His girlfriend suggests that he talk with an investment advisor and let his money "make more money." David has his eye on a new Ford truck, but realistically he knows that his old Jeep Cherokee will probably last another four years, at which time he will definitely need this money as a down payment on the purchase of something new. He knows he may have other needs as well. David should buy high-growth stock with his funds because even though they are risky, they also have the greatest potential of bringing in a better return on his investment. True False
Answer:
The correct answer is FALSE.
First it's not sound investment advice to put all his savings into an investment because as the narrative rightly points out, he may have other needs.Second, high growth stock are also high riskthey only pay in the long term only if the company is successful because dividends are re-invested which is one of the reasons the companies grow quickly.Although they are high risk, they also have great advantages such as:
High growth rate: this means if all goes well David will enjoy a good return on his investment;It's also a way to protect his money from erosion by inflationWhat can David do?
Subject to the advise of a professional investment professional
David needs to take into consideration his immediate needs, set aside some funds to take care of that.Invest the balance into a mix of high growth rate stock which are high yielding but risky and low growth rate but secure investment like government bonds.Start a small business by the side or get a job in the interim as he continues with his new life.Cheers!

Suppose the risk-free rate is 3.5%; on average, an AAA-rated corporate bond carries a credit spread of 0.3%, an A-rated corporate bond carries a credit spread of 1.1%, and a B-rated corporate bond carries a credit spread of 3.9%. Company XYZ’s outstanding debt is rated BBB by rating agencies. What would be the cost of debt for XYZ based on prevailing market rates?
Answer:
The cost of BBB rated bond will be more than 4.6% and lesser than 7.4%.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the cost of debt for XYZ based on prevailing market rates, we need to calculate first the following steps:
First, we have to calculate the cost of A rated bond using the following formula:
cost of A rated bond= Risk free rate+credit spread on A rated bond
=3.5%+1.1%
=4.6%
Next, we have to calculate the cost of A rated bond using the following formula:
cost of B rated bond= Risk free rate+credit spread on B rated bond
=3.5%+3.9%
=7.4%
Therefore, after having calculated the cost of A rated bond and the cost of B rated bond, we can conclude that the cost of BBB rated bond will be more than 4.6% and lesser than 7.4%.
Answer:
The multiple choices are:
A: 6.5%
B: 7.4%
C: 3.8%
D: 4.6%
The correct option is A,6.5%
Explanation:
The hierarchy of bonds in terms of credit rating quality is given below from the highest rating to the lowest rating below:
AAA
AA
A
BBB
BB
B
CCC
CC
C
D(default)
This above is based on Standard & Poor's and Fitch rating scales.
According to the question AAA bond cost can be computed thus:
AAA cost of debt=risk free rate+credit spread
risk free rate is 3.5%
credit spread on AAA is 0.3%
AAA cost of debt=3.5%+0.3%
=3.8%
A cost of debt =3.5%+1.1%
=4.6%
B cost of debt=3.5+3.9%
=7.4%
A BBB lies in between A and B bonds,in other words,BBB would have higher cost of debt compared to A bond but a lower cost of debt when compared with a B bond
Consequently,option B is wrong because that is the cost of B rated bond as well as option D as that is cost of A rated bond,since the correct is lesser than 7.4% but higher than 4.6%,option A 6.5% is perfect choice
ABC has 1 million shares outstanding, each of which has a price of $ 18. It has made a takeover offer of XYZ Corporation which has 1 million shares outstanding, and a price per share of $ 2.66. Assume that the takeover will occur with certainty and all market participants know this. Furthermore, there are no synergies to merging the two firms. a. Assume ABC made a cash offer to purchase XYZ for $ 3.42 million. What happens to the price of ABC and XYZ on the announcement? What premium over the current market price does this offer represent? b. Assume ABC makes a stock offer with an exchange ratio of 0.19. What happens to the price of ABC and XYZ this time? What premium over the current market price does this offer represent? c. At current market prices, both offers are offers to purchase XYZ for $ 3.42 million. Does that mean that your answers to parts (a) and (b) must be identical? Explain.
Answer:
(a) New Price of ABC = $17.24. New Price of XYZ = 3.42. Premium = 28.57%
(b) New Price of ABC = $17.36. New Price of XYZ = 3.30. Premium = 24.06%
(c) No since the prices would change relative to the premium offered. In part (b), the premium depends on the new price of ABC. Refer to the explanation below for an in-depth answer
Explanation:
(a) ABC is making a cash offer of $ 3.42 million to completely buyout XYZ Corporation i.e to acquire 100% shareholding which is 1 million shares. To find out the new price of XYZ, all you need to do is divide the amount offered by the number of shares. This is 3.42 Mn/1 Mn. Therefore, ABC is essentially offering $ 3.42 per share and so the new price of XYZ would change to reflect this.
Currently the price of XYZ is $2.66 while the price offered is $3.42. This means that ABC is paying a premium of 28.57% to buy the company (New Price/Old Price - 1). The price of ABC in this case will decrease to reflect this expenditure. The formula to calculate the new price of ABC is simple; Old price of ABC share - (Premium on XYZ share x Old Price of XYZ share) = $18 - (0.2857 x 2.66) = $17.24. Hence, the new price of ABC would be $17.24.
(b) Now, in this scenario, ABC is making a stock offer so to calculate the value of ABC's stock, we will need to look at the combined value of both these entities keeping in mind that the exchange ratio is 0.19. So, the formula is combined value of ABC= (Old Price of ABC + Old Price of XYZ)/ (1+Exchange ratio). Therefore, combined value = (18+2.66)/1.19 which is $17.36. New price of ABC is $17.36.
Similar to part (a), the new price of XYZ would be equal to the amount received by the shareholders per share. This would be calculated as the new price of ABC (since stock offer is announced instead of cash) x exchange ratio = 17.36 x 0.19 = $3.30. The premium in this case would be (using the formula mentioned in part a), 3.30/2.66 - 1 = 24.06%
(c) No, the answers to each part may not be identical. The market will react differently to the stock offer relative to the cash offer. In the stock offer, the market knows that ABC is paying a premium due to which the price of ABC will go down while the price of XYZ will go up. This will lower the amount of premium being offered (as demonstrated in each part above). The premium offered in part b will be lower because the premium depends on the new (lower) price of ABC. This is not the case with the cash offer since in the cash offer, the premium offered does not depend on the new price of XYZ.
a. The price of ABC is likely to decrease and the price of XYZ is likely to increase. The premium over the current market price of the cash offer can be calculated. b. The price of ABC is likely to decrease and the price of XYZ is likely to increase. The premium over the current market price of the stock offer can be calculated. c. The answers to parts (a) and (b) do not have to be identical because the method of payment and perceived value can impact market reaction.
Explanation:a. When ABC makes a cash offer to purchase XYZ for $3.42 million, the price of the ABC stock is likely to decrease because the company is spending a substantial amount of money to acquire XYZ. On the other hand, the price of the XYZ stock is likely to increase as investors anticipate the takeover and the potential gain from the transaction. The premium over the current market price of the offer can be calculated by subtracting the market price of XYZ before the offer from the offer price and dividing it by the market price of XYZ before the offer. In this case, the premium would be ($3.42 million - ($2.66 × 1 million)) / ($2.66 × 1 million).
b. When ABC makes a stock offer with an exchange ratio of 0.19, the price of ABC is likely to decrease as investors perceive the stock offer to be less valuable than cash. The price of XYZ is likely to increase as investors anticipate the takeover and the potential gain from the transaction. The premium over the current market price of the offer can be calculated by subtracting the market price of XYZ before the offer from the offer price and dividing it by the market price of XYZ before the offer. In this case, the premium would be (0.19 × $18 × 1 million - ($2.66 × 1 million)) / ($2.66 × 1 million).
c. The answers to parts (a) and (b) do not have to be identical because the method of payment and the perceived value of cash versus stock can impact the market reaction. In the cash offer, the stock price of ABC is likely to decrease due to the spending of a substantial amount of money, while in the stock offer, the stock price of ABC is likely to decrease due to the perceived lower value of stock as a method of payment.

Gilberto's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made products.d. Juanita gets a new video camera made in the United States.e. Gilberto buys a sweater made in Guatemala
Answer:
A. The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore.
The repaving of the highway is part of the U.S. GDP, and the category is government pruchases, or G, because it is the state that is spending the money on repaving the road.
B. Lorenzo in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website.
The bottle of maple syrup is part of the U.S. GDP, in the category of net exports, or XN. Exports are included in GDP because they correspond to goods that were produced domestically, and later sold abroad.
C. Gilberto's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made products.
The U.S. made products to upgrade the computer are part of the U.S. GDP, in the category of consumption, or C. The products were made in the United States, and were purchased by a citizen, not by a government agency, for this reason, the transaction is classified as private consumption.
D. Juanita gets a new video camera made in the United States.
The camera is part of the U.S. GDP, in the category of consumption. This example is the same as above: the camera was made in the United States, and purchased by an American citizen, who lives in the United States.
E. Gilberto buys a sweater made in Guatemala.
The sweater is not part of U.S. GDP because it was not made domestically, it is an import, and imports are not part of GDP.

Compute working capital and the current ratio. (If answer is negative enter it with a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000). Round Current Ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.78 : 1.)
Answer:
The working capital is -$98.7 while the current ratio is 0.51 : 1
Explanation:
The working capital is the amount of capital that is available for the day to day operations of the business. The working capital represents the liquidity situation of the business. The working capital is calculated as follows,
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities
Working Capital = 102.5 - 201.2 = - $98.7
The current ratio is a measure of the liquidity of a firm that measures its capacity to pay its short term obligations. The current ratio tells us the amount of current assets available for every 4! of current liability.
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current ratio = 102.5 / 201.2
Current ratio = 0.51 : 1
Final answer:
The working capital for Bob Evans Farms is calculated to be -$98.7 million, indicating more liabilities than assets in the short term. The current ratio is 0.51:1, showing that the company has 51 cents in assets for every dollar of liabilities, suggesting potential liquidity issues.
Explanation:
To calculate the working capital, we subtract total current liabilities from total current assets. Using the condensed data provided from the balance sheet of Bob Evans Farms, the working capital is calculated as follows:
Total current assets = $102.5 million
Total current liabilities = $201.2 million
Working Capital = Total current assets - Total current liabilities
Working Capital = $102.5 million - $201.2 million
Working Capital = -$98.7 million
The negative working capital means that the company has more short-term liabilities than short-term assets. To calculate the current ratio, divide the total current assets by the total current liabilities.
Current Ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities
Current Ratio = $102.5 million / $201.2 million
Current Ratio = 0.51:1
The current ratio, rounded to two decimal places, indicates liquidity and shows that for every dollar of liability, there is only $0.51 in assets, which could be indicative of potential liquidity problems.
