IPS Corp. will upgrade its package-labeling machinery. It costs $850,000 to buy the machinery and have it installed. Operation and maintenance costs, which are $11,000 per year for the first 3 years, increase by $1000 per year for the machine's 10-year life. The machinery has a salvage value of 12% of its initial cost. Interest is 25%. What is the future worth of cost of the machinery
Answer:
The future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.
Explanation:
The value of an amount of money at a particular interest rate at some point in the future is referred to as future worth.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the future worth of cost of the machinery.
In the attached excel file, the discounting factor for each year is calculated as follows:
Discounting Factor = (100% + Interest)^Remaining years ………………. (1)
Where:
Interest = 25%
Remaining years = 10 – Number of current year
In the attached excel file, we have:
Total future worth = (8,227,391.25) = –$8,227,391.25
Therefore, the future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.
You own one call option with an exercise price of $30 on Nadia stock. This stock is currently selling for $27.80 a share but is expected to increase to either $28 or $34 a share over the next year. The risk-free rate of return is 5 percent. What is the current per share value of your option if it expires in one year
Answer: 0.755
Explanation:
From the information given, the current per share value of the option if it expires in one year will be calculated as follows:
Firstly, we calculate the present value which will be:
= $28 / ( 1 + 0.05 )
= $28/1.05
= $26.667
The number of options needed will be:
= ( 34 - 28 )/ ( 4-0)
= 6/4
= 1.5
Therefore,
27.80 = (1.5 x Co) + [28 / (1+0.05)]
27.80 = 1.5Co + (28/1.05)
27.80 = 1.5Co + 26.667
1.5Co = 28.0 - 26.667
1.5Co = 1.1333
Co = 0.755
Therefore, the answer is 0.755

Compute and Interpret Measures for DuPont Disaggregation Analysis
Refer to the 2015 fiscal year financial data of 3M Company to answer the following requirements (perform these computations from the perspective of a 3M shareholder).
($millions) 2015 2014
Sales $30,674
Net income, consolidated 5,056
Net income attributable to
3M shareholders 5,048
Assets 32,898 $31,389
Total equity 11,747 13,142
Equity attributable to 3M
shareholders 11,708 13,109
a. Compute the DuPont model component measures for profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. Then, compute ROA.
b. Compute ROE. Confirm that ROE equals ROE computed using the component measures from part a (ROE PM AT FL).
c. Compute adjusted ROA (assume a statutory tax rate of 37% and pretax net interest expense of $123).
Answer:
solving
Explanation:
ROE = Net income/total assets
5048/(11708+13109)/2
= 0.4068
= 40.68%
A.
net margin = net profit/sales
= 5048/30674
= 0.1646
asset turnover = sales/average total asset
= 30674/(32898+31389)/2
= 0.954
equity multiplier
average total asset/average equity
= [(32898+31389)/2] / [11708+13109)]/2
= 32143.5/12408.5
= 2.59
DuPont model
ROE = 0.1646 x 0.9542 x 2.59
= 0.4068
= 40.68%
this shows that roe equals roe computed from the first roe I solved
ROA
net income/total assets
= 5048/32898+31389)/2
= 5048/32143.5
= 0.1570
= 15.47%

War Eagle Distributing wants to determine the most efficient method of transporting its new product- The Charles Barkley Paperweight. This item has been offered for sale for several years, but Mr. Barkley's public persona and popularity have grown steadily, and the 6-year forecast calls for year 1 sales of 1,000 pallets, with year 2-6 sales increasing by 400 pallets each year. Estimated year 1 costs of two transportation options being considered are shown below.
Mode A Mode B
Variable Costs
Transportation Costs $240,000 $270,000
Inventory Cost $100,000 $30,000
Packaging Costs $120,000 $30,000
Fixed Cost $160,000 $420,000
Total Cost $620,000 $750,000
What is the Point of Indifference (where the total cost of each option is equal) in number of pallets?
a. 1,400
b. 1,800
c. 2,000
d. 2,400
e. 2,800
Answer:
c. 2,000
Explanation:
Total Variable cost = transportation cost + inventory cost + packaging costs
Total variable cost Mode A = $240,000 + $ 100,000 + $ 120,000 = $460,000
Cost per pallets = 460,000 / 1000 = 4600
Total variable cost Mode B = $270,000 + $ 30,000 + $ 30,000 = $330,000
Cost per pallet = 330,000 / 1000 = 3300
The variable cost for both mode will be equal if the company plans to produce 2000 pallets.
Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. When interest rates rise, the coupon rates on newly issued bonds will increase. As long as bonds are highly rated, there is very little interest rate risk. Purchasing long-term bonds reduces an investor’s interest rate risk. Bonds with similar coupons will always have the same percentage price change, no matter the maturity.

You believe that over the next year the expected return on the market portfolio will yield 11.27%. What is the market risk premium?
Answer: 9.27%
Explanation:
The first part of the question puts the One-year Treasury bill rate at 2%.
The market risk premium is return that the market is offering over what the risk free rate is.
It is therefore calculated by subtracting the risk free rate from the Expected market return which is:
= Expected return on market - Risk free rate
= 11.27% - 2%
= 9.27%
The Closed Fund is a closed-end investment company with a portfolio currently worth $260 million. It has liabilities of $2 million and 6 million shares outstanding. a. What is the NAV of the fund? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If the fund sells for $40 per share, what is its premium or discount as a percent of NAV? (Input the amount as a positive value. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
NAV = (Total value - Liabilities) ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= ($260M - $2M) ÷ 6M
= $258M ÷ 6M
= $43
b. The premium or discount is
= (Market price - NAV) ÷ NAV
= ($40 - $43) ÷ $43
= -$3 ÷ $43
= -0.06976 or -6.98%
So here the fund should be sold at 6.98% discount

Capital market is at equilibrium and no change in interest rate
Explanation:
In the capital market
National savings = " S + T - G "
At equilibrium position ; National savings = " I + X "
When National savings > "1 + X " Interest rate decrease because there is an excess of supply while
When National savings > "1 + X" interest rate will increase to balance out the capital market because there is excess of demand.
From the attached table of solution below all values of the National savings = "I + X" this shows that the capital ( financial ) market is at equilibrium position

when restrictive government polocoes do not exist or when industries become deregulated, ther _ of entry is high.
Answer: threat
Explanation:
When restrictive government policies don't exist or when the industries become deregulated, then the threat of entry is high.
It should be noted that when there's entry of new competitors in an industry that offers same goods or services, then the competitive position of the company will be at risk. Therefore, the threat of new entrants refers to the ability of new companies to enter into an industry.
In such case, since there's no restriction of government policies, then the threat of entry will be high.

Pick the correct statement related to pro forma statements from below. Multiple Choice Fixed assets must increase if sales are projected to increase. Net working capital is affected only when a firm's sales are expected to exceed the firm's current production capacity. The addition to retained earnings is equal to net income less cash dividends. Long-term debt varies directly with sales when a firm is currently operating at maximum capacity.
Answer:
The correct statement related to the pro forma statements is:
The addition to retained earnings is equal to net income less cash dividends.
Explanation:
When the beginning retained earnings are increased by the addition to retained earnings, it means that the cash dividends have been subtracted from the net income. This addition is the leftover net income after offsetting the dividends. It increases the retained earnings by the end of the financial period.
Supernormal Growth Rizzi Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a 25 percent rate for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 13 percent and the company just paid a $3.10 dividend, what is the current share price?
Answer:
$86.13
Explanation:
The computation of the current share price is shown below:
Given that
Dividend just Paid (D0) is $3.10
and Required Return (R ) 13%
Now
Dividend Paid in 1st year = $3.10 (1.25) = $3.875
Dividend Paid in 2ndyear = $3.875 (1.25) = $4.844
Dividend Paid in3rd year = $4.844 (1.25) = $6.055
Dividend Paid in 4th year = $6.055 (1.07) = $6.47
Now
Stock Price in 3rd year (P3) = D4 ÷ (R - g)
= $6.47 ÷ (0.13- 0.07)
= $107.83
Now the Current Share Price(P0) is
Current Share Price (P0) = $3.875 ÷ (1.13) + $4.844 ÷ (1.13)^2 + $6.055 ÷ (1.13)^3 + $107.83 ÷ (1.13)^3
= $3.42 +$3.79 + $4.19 + $74.73
= $86.13
Jane Smith, MD, has had a great year in her pediatrics practice and has cash that she wants to invest. Her financial adviser suggests she buy a seven-year, $1,500 par value bond with an annual coupon rate of 10 percent and three years remaining to maturity. Dr. Smith decides to explore her options. She discovers that new, similarly risky bonds have an average annual rate of return of 12 percent. Bank certificates of deposit are returning 5 percent annually on average while a mutual fund investing in high-risk-growth stocks has an average annual rate of return of 20 percent. If Dr. Smith follows her financial adviser’s advice, what is the maximum amount she should pay for the bond? Explain your answer
Answer: $1427.95
Explanation:
If Dr. Smith follows her financial adviser’s advice, the maximum amount that she should pay for the bond will be calculated thus:
This question can be solved using Excel.
Face value = $1500
Coupon rate = 10%
Years left = 3
Coupon = 10% × $1500 = $150
Yield to maturity = 12%
The bond price will be:
= PV(12%,3,-150,-1500)
= PV(0.12,3,-150,-1500)
= 1427.95
The bond price is $1427.95
Jeff is a member of Go Big Red, LLC. Jeff decides he does not like the color red, preferring instead the colors black and gold. Jeff leaves the LLC for that reason. Upon dissociation all of the following apply to Jeff except:________.
a. duty of loyalty immediately ceases in all regards.
b. loses the right to manage the LLC.
c. right to have his interests to be bought out.
d. duty of care immediately ceases in all regards.
Answer:
Option "D" is correct.
Explanation:
Option "D" is correct because When a person or member dissociates then the person loses the right to manage, losses the right to act, ceases from their duty of loyalty, ceases from the duty of care immediately if any event occurs after dissociation and the member has the right to find their interest. Therefore, from the given options it can be seen that the duty of care remains intact when only to that event that had occurred before the dissociation.
If reputable companies such as IBM and Apple have been charged with using bribes to obtain sales, why should you worry about being ethical
Answer:
1. Reputation.
Apple and IBM are big companies which is why their reputation was able to survive the bribery charges. You are most likely not as big as either of these companies so if you are charged with bribery, your reputation might not be able to recover like theirs did.
It is always best to be associated with a good reputation. A good reputation gives you customers who will be loyal because they appreciate the integrity you have. You should not throw this away by bribing people.
2. Consequences.
It is because Apple and IBM are so big that they were able to settle the bribery charge with the Courts. Smaller companies or people that have lesser effects on the financial system might find that their punishments will be more severe to act as a deterrent.

Business executives often prefer to work with rate of return, so to overcome some of the IRR's limitations the modified IRR was devised. The MIRR equation is:
Answer:
Explanation:
MIRR equation is given by :
[(FV +ve cashflow / PV -ve cashflow)^(1/n)] - 1
FV +ve cashflow = Future value of positive cashflow at reinvestment rate
PV - ve cashflow = Present value of negative cashflow at finance rate
n = number of periods
The Modified Internal Rate of Return is a devised modification for the Internal rate of return, IRR which gives rate of return on percentage and overcomes the limitations of the IRR formula.
