Answer: 9.49%
Explanation:
Formula for WACC:
WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of equity) + [(Cost of debt * weight of debt) * (1 - tax rate)] + (Cost of Preference share * weight of preference share).
As we are using retained earnings, this is not a new stock issue so the relevant cost of equity to use is the old one.
WACC = (11.6% * 55%) + [(9% * 40%) * (1 - 25%)] + (8.2% * 5%)
= 9.49%

In Cleveland, Clive sells 15 cloves at a price of $5 each. If Clive lowers his price by 10%, to $4.50 per clove, he will sell 16, or 6.67% more. In Dallas, Delores sells 15 cloves for $5 each. If Delores lowers her price by 2%, to $4.90, she will sell 16 cloves, or 6.67% more. Please state all price elasticities of demand as absolute values. Round answers to two places after the decimal when necessary.
Answer:
The Price elasticity of demand shows the effect of a change in price on the quantity demanded. In other words, it shows the percentage change in quantity demanded as a result of a 1% change in price.
Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price of good
Clive Cloves price elasticity:
= 6.67% / 10%
= 0.667
Delores Cloves price elasticity:
= 6.67% / 2%
= 3.335

Prime Bank is offering your company the use of their lockbox services. They estimate that you can reduce your average mail time by 1.5 days and they can save you a combined clearing and processing time of 1 day by putting the checks into the clearing system sooner. Your firm receives 198 checks a day with an average value of $2,300 each. The current T-Bill rate is .011 percent per day. Assume a 365-day year. Prime Bank will charge your firm an annual fee of $27,500 plus $.20 per check. What is the annual net savings from installing this system
Answer:
$3,756.77
Explanation:
The computation of the annual net savings from installing this system is shown below
Given that
Reduction in average mail time= 1.5 days
And, Reduction in clearing and processing time = 1day
So, Total reduction = 1.5 + 1 = 2.5 days
No. of checks per day= 198
Average Value= $2300
So, the Value of all checks per day is
= 2300 × 198
= $455,400
Now total savings is
= $455,400 × 2.5 days × 0.00011 × 365 days
= $45,710.77
The Cost of service is
= Annual fee + variable fee
= $27,500 + 0.20 × 198 × 365
= $41,954
Now
finally Net savings is
= $45,710.77 - $41,954
= $3,756.77

Suppose you win on a scratch‑off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $2,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 5% . What is the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit? maximum increase: $ Which events could cause the increase in the money supply to be less than its potential? Banks choose to loan out all excess reserves. All money loaned out is deposited back into the banking system. Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand. Some loan recipients choose to hold some cash instead of depositing all of it in banks.
Answer:
$50,000
Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand.
Explanation:
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
2500/ 0.05 = $50,000
If the banks decides to keep excess reserves, the money loaned out would be lower and this would reduce money supply

Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Machining
Answer:
the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is given below:
= Cost of the human resource × machining department ÷ (machining department + assembly department)
= $1,200,000 × 100 ÷ (100 + 150)
= $480,000
hence, the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 3,000,000 $ 9,000,000 Net operating income $ 210,000 $ 720,000 Average operating assets $ 1,000,000 $ 4,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 15%. Compute the residual income for each division. 3. Is Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income an indication that it is better managed?
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Sales Margin / Capital turnover
= (Net income / Sales) ÷ (Assets / Sales)
Osaka:
= (210,000 / 3,000,000) ÷ (1,000,000 / 3,000,000)
= 0.07 / 0.33
= 21%
Yokohama
= (720,000 / 9,000,000) ÷ (4,000,000 / 9,000,000)
= 0.08 / 0.44
= 18%
2. Residual income = Operating income * (Required return * Average operating assets)
Osaka = 210,000 - (15% * 1,000,000)
= $60,000
Yokohama = 720,000 - (15% * 4,000,000)
= $120,000
c. No is isn't because Residual income is not a good matric to use to compare companies or departments as it does not show the amount of assets used by the companies being compared.
There is an investment with the discount rate of 6 %. What should be the present value of the investment if we want to get a net cash flow of $17500;
a) After 1 year
b) After 2 years
c) After 3 years
Answer:
a. $16,509.434
b. $15,574.94
c. $14,693.34
Explanation:
The calculation of the present value for the following cases is
we know that
Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. After one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
c. After 3 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^3
= $17,500 ÷ 1.191016
= $14,693.34
Therefore, the present value after one year, 2 years and third year is $16,509.434 ,$15,574.94 and $14,693.34 respectively

On January 8, the end of the first weekly pay period of the year, Regis Company's employees earned $21,760 of office salaries and $60,840 of sales salaries. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes at the rate of 6.2%, FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45%, $12,860 of federal income taxes, $1,360 of medical insurance deductions, and $900 of union dues. No employee earned more than $7,000 in this first period.
Required:
Calculate the amounts for each of these four taxes of Regis Company.
Answer:
FICA-Social security = $5,121.20
FICA-Medicare = $1,197.70
FUTA = $495.60
SUTA = $4,130
Explanation:
Note: The four taxes of Regis Company required to be calculated as follows:
FICA-Social security
FICA-Medicare
FUTA
SUTA
Therefore, we have:
Total earnings = Office salaries + Sales salaries = $21,760 + $60,840 = $82,600
Tax = Total earnings * Tax rate ...................... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
FICA-Social security = $82,600 * 6.20% = $5,121.20
FICA-Medicare = $82,600 * 1.45% = $1,197.70
FUTA = $82,600 * 0.60% = $495.60
SUTA = $82,600 * 5% = $4,130.00
Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $1.25000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $1.25000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 6.50000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.36000% per year.
Goodwin’s required return is 11.20000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value. To increase the accuracy of your calculations, do not round your intermediate calculations, but round all final answers to two decimal places.
Term Value
Horizon Value __________
Current Intrinsic value __________
Assuming that the markets are in equilibrium, Goodwin's current expected dividend yield is ___________, and Goodwin's capital gains yield is _______
Answer:
A. Term Value
Horizon Value $18.69
Current Intrinsic value $13.61
B. Dividend yield 0%
Capital gains yield 11.20%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine Horizon Value
Using this formula
Horizon Value = Dividend in Year 6/(Required Return – Growth Rate)
Let plug in the formula
Horizon Value = 1.25(1.0650)^2 (1.0336)/(11.20%-3.36%)
Horizon Value = $18.69
Calculation to determine the Current Intrinsic value Using this formula
Current intrinsic value = 1.25/(1.1120)^3 + 1.25(1.0650)/(1.1120)^4 + 1.25(1.0650)^2/(1.1120)^5 + 18.69/(1.1120)^5
Current intrinsic value = $13.61
B. Calculation to determine Dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield = Expected Dividend next year/Current price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield= 0/13.61
Dividend yield= 0%
Calculation to determine Expected Capital Gains Yield using this formula
Expected Capital Gains Yield = Required return - Expected Current Dividend Yield
Let plug in the formula
Expected Capital Gains Yield= 11.20%- 0%
Expected Capital Gains Yield= 11.20%
Therefore:
Term Value
Horizon Value $18.69
Current Intrinsic value $13.61
Therefore Assuming that the markets are in equilibrium, Goodwin's current expected dividend yield is 0% and Goodwin's capital gains yield is 11.20%

Ingraham Inc. currently has $820,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 54 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.
Answer: 451759.29
Explanation:
To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales
Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54
Sales = 5542593
After the new policy, the expected sales will be:
= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)
= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)
= 5542593 × 0.85
= 4711204.5
The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5
Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365
Account receivable = 451759.29

Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year. Multiple choice question. $2,875 $1,850 $1,250 $2,375
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $1,850
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Purchase price= $12,000
Salvage value= $500
Useful life= 5 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (12,000 - 500) / 5
Annual depreciation= 2,300
Accumulated depreciation (2 years)= 2,300*1= 4,600
Now, we can determine the annual depreciation with a 4 more years of useful life:
Book value= 12,000 - 4,600= 7,400
useful life= 4 years more
Annual depreciation= 7,400/4
Annual depreciation= $1,850

If Product X is discontinued, the monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be: rev: 07_07_2020_QC_CS-218335
Answer: ($30000)
Explanation:
If Product X is discontinued, the monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product will be calculated thus:
Sales = 10000 × $40 = $40000
Variable expense = 10000 × $32 = $320000
Contribution margin lost = $400000 - $320000 = $80000
Savings in fixed expense = $120000 - $70000 = $50000
Financial disadvantage = Savings in fixed expenses - Contribution margin lost
= $50000 - $80000
= -$30000
Tan Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 3,000,000 $ 9,000,000 Net operating income $ 210,000 $ 720,000 Average operating assets $ 1,000,000 $ 4,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 15%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
Return on Investment (ROI)
In terms of margin :
Division Osaka (ROI) = 21.00 %
Division Yokohama (ROI) = 18.75%
In terms of turnover :
Division Osaka (ROI) = 300%
Division Yokohama (ROI) = 225%
Residual Income
Division Osaka = $60,000
Division Yokohama = $120,000
Explanation:
Return on Investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets Employed in the Division x 100
In terms of margin :
Division Osaka (ROI) = $ 210,000 / $ 1,000,000 x 100 = 21.00 %
Division Yokohama (ROI) = $ 720,000 / $ 4,000,000 x 100 = 18.75%
In terms of turnover :
Division Osaka (ROI) = $ 3,000,000 / $ 1,000,000 x 100 = 300%
Division Yokohama (ROI) = $ 9,000,000 / $ 4,000,000 x 100 = 225%
Residual Income = Controllable Profit - Cost of Capital Charge on Investment Controllable by Divisional Manager
Division Osaka = $ 210,000 - $ 1,000,000 x 15% = $60,000
Division Yokohama = $ 720,000 - $ 4,000,000 x 15% = $120,000
