An open-end fund has a net asset value of $12.70 per share. It is sold with a front-end load of 8%. What is the offering price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$13.80
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the offering price
Using this formula
Offering Price = NAV/1-load
Let plug in the formula
Offering Price = $12.70/1-0.08
Offering Price =$12.70/0.92
Offering Price = $13.80
Therefore the offering price is $13.80

Networking: networking is a popular form of building business relationships. Formal occasions, conferences, informal hangout spots, the gym are all places where you can meet new people and start a business relationship.
A production process consists of a three step operation. The scrap rate is 10% for the first step and 6 percent for each of the other two steps.
a. If the desired daily output is 450 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap?
b. If the scrap rate for each step could be cut in half, how many units would this save in terms of the scrap allowance?c. If the scrap represents a cost of $10 per unit, how much is it costing the company per day for the original scrap rate?
Answer:
a. The number of units that must be started to allow for loss due to scrap is 566 units.
b. The number of units that this would save in terms of the scrap allowance is 63 units.
c. The scrap is costing the company $1,160 per day.
Explanation:
a. If the desired daily output is 450 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap?
Let x represent the original quantity.
Therefore, we have:
Scrap from the first step operation = 0.10x
Remaining quantity after the first step operation = Original quantity - Scrap of the first step operation = x – 0.10x = (1 – 0.10)x = 0.90x
Scrap from the second step operation = Remaining quantity after the first step operation * 0.06 = 0.90x * 0.06 = 0.054x
Remaining quantity after the second step operation = Remaining quantity after the first step operation - Scrap from the second step operation = 0.90x - 0.054x = (0.90 - 0.054)x = 0.846x
Scrap from the third step operation = Remaining quantity after the second step operation * 0.06 = 0.846x * 0.06 = 0.05076x
Remaining quantity after the third step operation = Remaining quantity after the second step operation - Scrap from the third step operation = 0.846x - 0.05076x = (0.846 - 0.05076)x = 0.79524x
Since the desired daily output is 450 units, we can solve for x as follows:
0.79524x = 450
x = 450 / 0.79524 = 565.866908103214, or 566 units
Therefore, the number of units that must be started to allow for loss due to scrap is 566 units.
b. If the scrap rate for each step could be cut in half, how many units would this save in terms of the scrap allowance?
Scrap rate of first operation is = 10%/2 = 5%, or 0.05
Scrap rate of second and third operations = 6%/2 = 3%, or 0.03 each
Let x also represent the original quantity.
Therefore, we have:
Scrap from the first step operation = 0.05x
Remaining quantity after the first step operation = Original quantity - Scrap of the first step operation = x - 0.05x = (1 – 0.05)x = 0.95x
Scrap from the second step operation = Remaining quantity after the first step operation * 0.03 = 0.95x * 0.03 = 0.0285x
Remaining quantity after the second step operation = Remaining quantity after the first step operation - Scrap from the second step operation = 0.95x - 0.0285x = (0.95 - 0.0285)x = 0.9215x
Scrap from the third step operation = Remaining quantity after the second step operation * 0.03 = 0.9215x * 0.03 = 0.027645x
Remaining quantity after the third step operation = Remaining quantity after the second step operation - Scrap from the third step operation = 0.9215x - 0.027645x = (0.9215 - 0.027645)x = 0.893855x
Since the desired daily output is 450 units, we can solve for x as follows:
0.893855x = 450
x = 450 / 0.893855 = 503.437358408243, or 503 units
Number units to save = Calculated x from part a above - Calculated x in part 2 here = 566 – 503 = 63
Therefore, the number of units that this would save in terms of the scrap allowance is 63 units.
c. If the scrap represents a cost of $10 per unit, how much is it costing the company per day for the original scrap rate?
Quantity to be introduced at the original scrap rate = Calculated x from part a above = 566
Remaining quantity after the third step operation = 450
Scrap = Quantity to be introduced at the original scrap rate - Remaining quantity after the third step operation = 566 – 450 = 166 units
Total cost of scrap = Scrap * Cost of each unit of scrap = 166 * $10 = $1,160
Therefore, the scrap is costing the company $1,160 per day.
Establishing ________ pertaining to apprenticeship standards, union member tasks, and which job duties union members would be required to do was one of the most important activities of the AFL.
Answer:
work rules.
Explanation:
In the United States of America, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was established by union members as an association or umbrella body for trade unions on the 8th of December, 1886 in Columbus, Ohio. It was formed due to the dispute that arose with craft unions while they were still part of the Knights of labour.
Establishing work rules pertaining to apprenticeship standards, union member tasks, and which job duties union members would be required to do was one of the most important activities of the AFL.

A more efficient means of processing algae to produce an anticancer drug is discovered. As a result, the supply curve for the drug will: __________
a. shift to the right, increasing the price of the drug.
b. shift to the left, increasing the price of the drug.
c. shift to the right, decreasing the price of the drug
d. shift to the left, decreasing the price of the drug.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
As a result of an increase in efficiency in production, there would be an increase in supply. As a result, there would be an outward shift of the supply curve. When the supply curve shifts outward, supply increases and prices of drugs fall.
On the other hand, if there is an inward shift of the supply curve, the supply of drugs would fall and the price of drugs would increase
Please check the attached image showing a graph of a decrease in supply
Mendez Company is considering a capital project that costs $16,000. The project will deliver the following cash flows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $8,000 $6,000 $5,000 $6,000 $5,000 Using the incremental approach, the payback period for the investment is:

You are bullish on Telecom stock. The current market price is $62 per share, and you have $6,200 of your own to invest. You borrow an additional $6,200 from your broker at an interest rate of 7.6% per year and invest $12,400 in the stock. a. What will be your rate of return if the price of Telecom stock goes up by 9% during the next year? (Ignore the expected dividend.) (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Telecom Stock
If the price of the Telecom stock goes up by 9% during the next year, your rate of return will be:
= 10.4%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current market price = $62 per share
Investment in stock = $12,400
Margin account = $6,200
Loan = $6,200 ($12,400 - $6,200)
Units of stock bought on margin = 200 ($12,400/$62)
Margin account interest rate = 7.6%
Growth rate of stock price = 9%
Expected market price of the stock = $67.58 ($62 * 1.09)
Expected value of stock = $13,516 (200 * $67.58)
Interest on loan = $471.20 ($6,200 * 7.6%)
Principal & loan amount $12,400
Return on the stock = $644.80
Rate of return = 10.4% ($644.80/$6,200 * 100)
A manager of a perfectly competitive firm observes that the marginal product of labor is 5 units per hour, the marginal product of capital is 40 units per machine, the wage is $20 per hour, the rental price of capital is $120 per machine, and the price of output is $5 per unit. Please complete the following statement.
To maximize profit, the manager should hire _________and __________
Answer:
The manager should hire more labor and rent less capital.
Explanation:
Given:
MPL = Marginal product of labor units per hour = 5
MPC = marginal product of capital units per machine = 40
PL = Wage per hour = $20, or 20
PC = Rental price of capital per machine = $120, or120
Po = Price of output per unit = $5
The condition for the profit maximization for a firm is as follows:
MPL / PL = MPC / PC ……………………………. (1)
From equation (1), we have:
MPL / PL = 5 / 20 = 0.25
MPC / PC = 40 / 120 = 0.33
Since 0.25 = MPL / PL < MPC / PC = 0.33, it implies that these conditions are NOT consistent with equation (1).
In order to maximize profit, more labor should be hired while less capital should be rented until these conditions are consistent with equation (1).
Therefore, we have:
To maximize profit, the manager should hire more labor and rent less capital.

A company has the following selected account balances: Sales $ 250,000 Sales Discounts 1,500 Sales Returns and Allowances 2,300 Sales Salaries Expense 56,000 Store Supplies Expense 15,000 Advertising Expense 8,000 Cost of Goods Sold 125,000 What is the gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement: multiple choice $121,200 $167,200 $42,200 $246,200
Answer:
$121,200
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement
First step is to determine the Net sales
Sales $ 250,000
Less Sales Discounts ($1,500)
Less Sales Returns and Allowances ($2,300 )
Net sales $246,200
Now let determine the Gross profit using this formula
Gross profit=Net sales-Cost of Goods Sold
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit=$246,200-$125,000
Gross profit=$121,200
Therefore the gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement is $121,200
Dennis is a member of the management team of a company that, until recently, was extremely profitable. As a result of a continuing recession; however, there has been a significant drop in profits, although the company is still making profits. The 196 non-permanent employees are low-skilled, but all of them have been with the company for at least 3 years. The lowest-paid worker earns at least double the minimum wage and the company provides all its employees the benefits required by law.
Dennis will soon be attending a meeting of the management team to decide how many employees to retain. Dennis feels that the firm’s value lies in its employees, regardless of rank. Indeed, it was this culture of inclusiveness that led Dennis to join the firm in the first place. Dennis believes that employee retention is more than an issue of short-term profit maximization.
Required:
How can he give voice to his values in the upcoming meeting?
Answer:
Dennis can give voice to his values in the upcoming meeting by suggesting that management does not retrench any of the low-skilled staff since employee retention is valued more than short-term profits. Again, he can suggest that instead of retrenching some employees, all employees can have their salaries reduced minimally after due consultations.
Explanation:
Since the company is still making profits, employees can be consulted and an agreement reached with management to reduce or remove some benefits during the recession. This move ensures that no employee is laid out. Retrenching employees during periods of recession always exacerbates the recessionary problems instead of resolving them.
s). Marty has been offered an injury settlement of $15 comma 000 payable in 5 years. He wants to know what the present value of the injury settlement is if his opportunity cost is 3.5 %. (The opportunity cost is the interest rate in this problem.) What if the opportunity cost is 7.5 %? What if it is 11.5 %?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the present value in each situation is as follows:
As we know that
Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
When the rate is 3.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 3.5%)^5
= $12,630
When the rate is 7.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 7.5%)^5
= $10,448.38
And, When the rate is 11.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 11.5%)^5
= $8,703.96

Calculation to Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation.
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation expense
Annual depreciation expense = [100000 - 5000]/10
Annual depreciation expense = 9500
Second step is to calculate the Tax benefit
Tax benefit = 9500(.30)
Tax benefit = 2850
Now let calculate the PV of tax benefit
Using financial calculator
PMT = 2850
FV = 0
N = 10
i = 14
PV=?
Hence
PV = 14865.93
Therefore the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation is 14865.93
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 21 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.80 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 8.30 percent?a. $153.71b. $138.82c. $193.77d. $156.51e. $190.97
Answer:
a. $153.71
Explanation:
First, calculate the yearly dividend
First-year dividend = $2.80 x ( 1 + 21% ) = $3.388
Second-year dividend = $3.388 x ( 1 + 21% ) = $4.099
Third-year dividend = $4.099 x ( 1 + 21% ) = $4.960
Fourth-year dividend = $4.960 x ( 1 + 21% ) = $6.002
Now calculate hte terminal value of the dividend payment after 4 years
Terminal value = Fourth year dividend x ( 1 + Growth rate after year 4 ) / ( Required rate of return - Growth rate after year 4 ) = $6.002 x ( 1 + 5% ) / ( 8.30% - 5% ) = $190.97
Now use the following fromula to calcula the value of the bond
Value of the bond = ( First-year dividend / ( 1 + Required rate of return )^1 ) + ( Second-year dividend / ( 1 + Required rate of return )^2 ) + ( Third-year dividend / ( 1 + Required rate of return )^3 ) + ( Fourth-year dividend / ( 1 + Required rate of return )^4 ) + ( Terminal Value / ( 1 + Required rate of return )^4 )
Value of the bond = ( $3.388 / ( 1 + 8.3% )^1 ) + ( $4.099 / ( 1 + 8.3% )^2 ) + ( $4.960 / ( 1 + 8.3% )^3 ) + ( $6.002 / ( 1 + 8.3% )^4 ) + ( $190.97 / ( 1 + 8.3% )^4 )
Value of the bond = $3.128 + $3.495 + $3.905 + $4.363 + $138.820
Value of the bond = $153.711
Value of the bond = $153.71

Is it true that in a short-run production process, the marginal cost curve eventually slopes upward because firms have to pay workers a higher wage rate as they produce more output? Explain your answer.
Answer:
Yes, This is True.
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the cost of one additional unit. The marginal cost curve will slope upwards because firm will pay more wage to the worker who produce more output. This can be regarded as the increase in output leads to increased wage rate. The marginal cost curve will be upward sloping because there will be addition to the marginal cost due to increase in one unit of output.
Suppose that an investor buys a 100-share call option for $250. It has an exercise price of $60. The underlying price per share of the stock at expiration is $66. What then is the amount of profit or loss, ignoring brokerage fees
Answer:
$350
Explanation:
Call option is profitable when Stock price expires above the Strike price of the option.
Strike price of call = $60
Stock price at expiration = $66
Total profit = Size*(Stock price-Strike price) - Premium paid
Total profit = 100*($66-$60) - $250
Total profit = 100*$6 - $250
Total profit = $600 - $250
Total profit = $350
Thus, the amount of profit (ignoring brokerage fees) is $350.
Since its formation, Roof Corporation has incurred the following net Section 1231 gains and losses. Year 1$(12,000)Net Section 1231 loss Year 2 10,500 Net Section 1231 gain Year 3 (14,000)Net Section 1231 loss In year 5, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $9,000 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary
Answer:
a. $0 will be reported as capital gain, while $7,500 will be reported as ordinary gain.
b. $1,000 will be reported as capital gain, while $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as part 'a' of the requirement is omitted. The complete question with the part 'a' of the requirement is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Since its formation, Roof Corporation has incurred the following net Section 1231 gains and losses.
Year 1 $ (12,000) Net Section 1231 loss
Year 2 10,500 Net Section 1231 gain
Year 3 (14,000) Net Section 1231 loss
a. In year 4, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $7,500 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
b. In year 5, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $9,000 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
When section 1231 losses exceed section 1231 profits in the prior five years, the excess loss (unapplied loss) is applied against the current year's section 1231 gain.
The amount that is reported as ordinary income is the amount of the loss that is applied against the current year's section 1231 gain.
Long-term capital gain is the excess of the current year's section 1231 gain over the the recaptured section 1231 loss from the prior five years.
You have to start with the earliest year to apply section 1231 losses from the previous five years to the current year's section 1231 gain.
Therefore, we have:
a. In year 4, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $7,500 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
As a result of the loss from the previous year that is applied to the extent of $7,500, the whole of the $7,500 net Section 1231 gain will be recorded as ordinary gain.
Therefore, $0 will be reported as capital gain, while $7,500 will be reported as ordinary gain.
b. In year 5, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $9,000 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
Unapplied losses in previous years can be calculated as follows:
Details Amount ($)
Net Section 1231 loss in Year 3 (14,000)
Net Section 1231 gain in Year 4 7,500
Net Section 1231 loss in Year 1 (12,000)
Net Section 1231 gain in Year 2 10,500
Unapplied losses in previous years (8,000)
Because there are unapplied losses of $8,000 from previous years, $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.
Therefore, the amount to be reported as capital gain can be calculated as follows:
Amount to be reported as capital gain = Gain in Year 5 – Amount to be reported as ordinary gain = $9,000 - $8,000 = $1,000
Therefore, $1,000 will be reported as capital gain, while $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.
Kathy plans to move to Maryland and take a job at McCormick as the Assistant Director of HR. She and her husband Stan plan to buy a house in Garrison, MD and their budget is $500,000. They have $100,000 for the down payment and McCormick will pay for closing costs. They are considering either a 30-year mortgage at 4.5 percent annual rate or a 15 year mortgage at 4 percent.
Required:
Calculate the monthly payment for each using the PMT function.
Answer:
Total budget = $500,000
Down payment = $100,000
Loan amount = $400,000
Case 1
Annual rate = 4.5%
Number of payment = (30*12 month) 360
Loan amount = $400,000
Monthly payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, Value of loan)
Monthly payment = PMT(4.5%, 360, 400,000)
Monthly payment = $2,026.74
Case 2
Annual rate = 4%
Number of payment = (15*12 month)180
Loan amount = $400,000
Monthly payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, Value of loan)
Monthly payment = PMT(4%, 180, 400,000)
Monthly payment = $2,958.75
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.27 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio
Answer:
the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is 1.73
Explanation:
The computation of the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is shown below:
Given that
risk free asset contains the beta of 0
And,
market beta = 1
Now
1 = 1 ÷ 3 × 0 + 1 ÷ 3 × 1.27 + 1 ÷ 3 × beta
The beta of other stock = 1.73
hence, the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is 1.73
Here we assume that one-third should be invested in all 3 things each
