You own a golf course in Florida and you need to determine how many golf carts you need to buy to maximize profits. Please answer the following questions given the information below.
A brand new golf cart costs 2000 rounds of golf and the rate of depreciation is 5%.
The real interest rate is 8%
The expected marginal product of capital is given by MPKf = 1000 – 10K.
a) What is the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in?
b) How many golf carts should you buy to maximize profits (i.e., what is K*)?​
c) Draw a graph (the uc / MPK graph) depicting the state of affairs and label this initial profit maximizing point as point A.​
Now suppose the (local) government with all their financial shortfalls embarks on a campaign to raise revenue to fund the fire department by imposing a so-called "luxury tax" (we know it as τ) equal to 15% of gross revenue. What happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts? Please show all work and round to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

a) 260 rounds of golf

b) 74

c) attached below

d) 70 golf carts

Explanation:

a) Calculate the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in

user cost of capital = total depreciation + total interest

= ( rate of depreciation * Golf cart cost ) + ( real interest rate * Golf cart cost )

= ( d + r ) Golf cart cost

= ( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 260 rounds of golf

b) determine the number of carts that should be bought to maximize profits

Profits are maximized when User Cost of capital = MPKF

(d +r) Golf cart cost = MP Kf = 1000 – 10K

( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 1000 – 10K

260 = 1000 – 10K     ∴ K = ( 1000 - 260 ) / 10 = 74

c) attached below is the required graph

d) Determine what happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts

User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = MPK^f

∴ User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = 1000 – 10K

260 ( 1 - 0.15 ) = 1000 – 10K

305.88 = 1000 – 10K

K=69.41

that is approximately 70 golf carts is been bought to maximize profit

Sheridan Corporation had 2020 net income of $798,000. During 2020, Sheridan paid a dividend of $2 per share on 33,200 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Sheridan had outstanding 236,000 shares of common stock.

Required:
Compute Sheridan's 2020 earnings per share.

Answers

Answer:

$3.10 per share

Explanation:

Total preferred dividend = 33,200 shares * $2

Total preferred dividend = $66,400

Earning per share = (Net income - Preferred dividend) / Number of common stock outstanding

Earning per share = ($798,000 - $66,400) / 236,000 shares

Earning per share = $731,600 / 236,000 shares

Earning per share = $3.10 per share

Suppose banks increase excess reserves by $ 471845 . If the reserve ratio is 12 percent, what is the maximum increase in the money supply

Answers

Answer:

$3,932,025.94

Explanation:

Multiplier = 1 / rr

Multiplier = 1 / Reserve ratio

Multiplier = 1 / 0.12

Multiplier = 8.3333

Increase in money supply = Multiplier * Increase in excess reserves

Increase in money supply = 8.3333 * $471,845

Increase in money supply = $3,932,025.94

So, the maximum increase in the money supply is $3,932,025.94.

Your sister just deposited $5,500 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.8 percent for the next 6 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 6 years

Answers

Answer:

$5749.02

Explanation:

The first step is to determine the future value of my sister's deposit

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

5500 (1.088)^6 = $9122.97

the second step is to determine the present value of  $9122.97 using an interest rate of 8%

$9122.97 / (1.08)^6 = $5749.02

Heavy use of long-term debt can be of benefit to a firm to help expand, although it adds to the firm's overall level of risk.
A. True
B. False.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Long term debt is debt that has a maturity that is longer than a year.

The higher the use of debt, the higher the risk a firm takes on. This is because the greater the use of debt, the higher the chances of the firm defaulting on debt.

firms that use a high amount of debt, have an higher beta. As a result of the higher beta, the required return is also higher.

use of long-term debt provides firms with the necessary cash flows that would be needed to carry out necessary projects. Thus, it benefits a firm by helping it expand

Hence, the  budgeted manufacturing overhead for August is $40,030

what is least likely to get managers to act in best interest of the owner threat of a prozy fight stock option plans

Answers

Answer:

The least likely to get managers to act in the best interest of the owner is:

stock option plans.

Explanation:

But with the threat of a proxy fight, managers get up to speed, acting in the best interest of the owners of the firm because their jobs are at stake.  The main purpose of a proxy fight is the removal of the current management of the firm.  During a proxy fight, contest, or battle, some shareholders in a company attempt to oppose and vote out the current management or board of directors.  On the other hand, stock option plans reward managers with employee ownership rights at discounted prices.

Explain why a finance manager need to understand accounting information even if the firm has a trained accountant on its staff.

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

A financial manager should understand adequate information on accountancy. This is irrespective of whether the business does have a trained counterpart.

Accountancy is a necessary input into the function of financial management. Throughout the extent, as accounts were important input in financial decision-making is closely connected with both the interaction between finance and financial.

Accrual analysis provides information mostly on the company's operations.

A 20-year, 8% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 5 years at a call price of $1,040. The bond sells for $1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.)

Required:
a. What is the bond's yield to maturity?
b. What is the bond's current yield?
c. What is the bond's capital gain or loss yield?
d. What is the bond's yield to call?

Answers

Answer:

A. 3.57%

B. 7.27%

C. 5.45%

Explanation:

a. Calculation to determine What is the bond's yield to maturity

Using this formula

SemiannualYTM=PMT+Par−Price÷N÷Par+Price/22

Where,

Par = $1,000

Annual payment = $1,000 x 8% = $80

Semiannual payment = $80 x 0.5 = $40

Price = $1,100

Call price = $1,040

Time to call = 5 years

Time to maturity = 20 years

Let plug in the formula

SemiannualYTM=$40+$1,000−$1,100÷20×2÷$

1,000+$1,100/2

SemiannualYTM=3.57%

b. Calculation to determine What is the bond's current yield

Using this formula

Current yield=Annual payment/price

Let plug in the formula

Current yield=80/1100

Current yield=7.27%

c. Calculation to determine What is the bond's capital gain or loss yield

Using this formula

Capital loss=Call price-Current price/Current price

Let plug in the formula

Capital loss=1040-1100/1100

Capital loss=5.45%

Kawamura, a careful utility maximizer, consumes peanut butter and ice cream. Assume that both peanut butter and ice cream are normal goods and that diminishing marginal utility applies to both goods. Right after he achieves the utility-maximizing level of consumption of the two goods, the price of peanut butter falls. After he adjusts to this event, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes _____ and that of ice cream goes _____.

Answers

Answer:

The marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up.

Explanation:

The substitution effect states that when the price of a product falls, it will lead to a rise in the quantity demanded of the product as buyers will buy more of the product that is now relatively cheaper.

And as more of a good is bought, its marginal utility falls. And as less of a product is bought, its marginal utility increases.

Based on the above explanation therefore, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up after Kawamura adjusts to the event.

This is because as more of peanut butter is bought due to the fall in its price, its marginal utility falls. And as less of ice cream is bought as it is now relatively more expensive, its marginal utility increases.

The annual report will show earnings per share figures based upon a reported after-tax net income of $1,491,000. (The tax rate is 20%.)
Determine the following for 2020.
(a) The number of shares to be used for calculating:
(1) Basic earnings per share
(2) Diluted earnings per share
(b) The earnings figures to be used for calculating:
(1) Basic earnings per share
(2) Diluted earnings per share

Answers

Answer:

A-1 Basic earnings per share=$1,353,750

A-2 Diluted earnings per share = 2,136,650

B-1 Basic earnings per share $1,491,000

B-2 Diluted earnings per share= $1,510,200

Explanation:

(a)Calculation of number of shares to be used for calculating

(1) Basic earnings per share = (876,000*3/12) + (1,513,000*9/12)

Basic earnings per share=$219,000+$1,134,750

Basic earnings per share=$1,353,750

Therefore Basic earnings per share is $1,353,750

(2) Diluted earnings per share = (876 000*3/12) (1,513,000*3/12) + (1,513,000 + ($600000/$1000 * 44)

Diluted earnings per share =219,000+378,250+(1,513,000+26,400)

Diluted earnings per share =219,000+378,250+1,539,400

Diluted earnings per share = 2,136,650

Therefore Diluted earnings per share is 2,136,650

(b) Calculation of earnings figures to be used for

(1) Calculation to determine the Basic earnings per share

Using this formula

Basic earnings per share = Net income after tax

Let plug in the formula

Basic earnings per share= $1,491,000

Therefore Basic earnings per share is $1,491,000

(2) Calculation to determine Diluted earnings per share

First step is to calculate the interest expense after tax adjustment

Interest Savings ($600000 * 8% * ½) $24000

Additional Tax ($24000 * 20%) $4800

Interest expense after tax adjustment $19,200

Now let calculate the Diluted earnings per share

Using this formula

Diluted earnings per share = Net income + interest expense after tax adjustment

Let plug in the formula

Diluted earnings per share= $1,491,000 +$19,200

Diluted earnings per share= $1,510,200

Therefore Diluted earnings per share is $1,510,200
