Leaf's Paper Company is planning to launch a new notebook product that is water resistant. The company wants to sell 30,000,000 of the new notebooks next year and wants to know what trial rate is required to achieve this goal. The market research group forecasts an awareness rate of 78% and an ACV% of 51%. Of those that try the product by purchasing 1 notebook, 21% will repurchase 5 notebooks per year. There are 200,000,000 notebook consumers in the target market. Total fixed costs to Leaf Paper Company to manufacture this new notebook are $11,000,000, with variable costs of $2.56 per notebook. What trial rate is required to achieve the company's goal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5%.

Explanation:

This question can be solved by using the formula below;

The trial rate is required to achieve the company's goal = ( number of new notebooks that the company wants to sell the following year) ÷ awareness rate × units per trial × ACV × number in target market.

From the Question above, we have the following information which is going to be slot in to the formula above and use in solving this question;

=> The number of new notebooks that the company wants to sell the following year = 30,000,000.

=> The awareness rate = 78%.

=> ACV% = 51%.

=> The percentage of people that will repurchase 5 notebooks per year = 21%.

=> The total number of notebook consumers in the target market = 200,000,000 .

=>'' The Total fixed costs to Leaf Paper Company to manufacture this new notebook = $11,000,000''

=> The variable costs per Notebook = $2.56.

Thus, slotting in the values respectively, we have;

Trial rate = 30,000,000 ÷ (0.78 × 5 × 0.51 × 200,000,000).

Trial rate = 0.07541478129713423.

Thus, 0.07541478129713423 × 100 = 7.5%.

Trial rate = 7.5%.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I believe the best advice that can be given is to do thorough research into the company before investing and do not invest more than you are willing to lose. Initial Public Offerings (IPO) can be incredibly risky investments because they can be complete scams or can be legit startup companies but make one mistake and quickly go bankrupt causing the shares to be worthless and you lose all of your money. But with great risk comes great reward, If they do manage to take you off you can make a lot of money. Therefore, research and invest only what you can live without is the best advice.

Choi Home Repair needs to accumulate $22,000 in 6 years to purchase new equipment. What sinking fund payment (in $) would they need to make at the end of each three months, at 4% interest compounded quarterly?

Answers

Answer: $815.62

Explanation:

This is an annuity because it is to be a specific payment per period.

As it is in 6 years, it is a Future Value calculation.

Number of periods = 6 years * 4 quarters = 24 quarters

Interest = 4%/ 4 quarters = 1%

Future Value = Annuity * Future Value interest factor of Annuity, 24 periods, 1%

22,000 = Annuity * 26.9735

Annuity = 22,000/26.9735

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 0.01. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 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.

Answers

Answer:

a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, the defects will not be detected. These cost the company $11 to replace.

Defects per hour = 50 * 0.01 = 0.5 units

Cost per hour = 0.5 * 11 = $5.50

a-2. Based on costs alone, the inspection position should be eliminated. This is because the cost of having the Inspection position is $10 but it would only cost the company $5.50 if the position was not there so the cost of the inspection position is more than the cost incurred if it wasn't there.

b. = Inspection fees/ Units inspected per hour

= 10/50

= $0.50 per unit

c. Cost without Inspection is $5.50. With Inspection is $10.

Hourly Loss = 5.50 - 10

= -$4.50

Per unit loss = -4.50/50

= -$0.09

Answers

Answer:

the price likely to be $8,889

Explanation:

The computation of the price likely to be is shown below:

The rate of interest in the last year

= $800 ÷ $10,000

= 8%

Now this year the rate of interest it would be

= $900 ÷ $10,000

Yukelson Company owns the building occupied by its administrative office. The office building was reflected in the accounts at the end of last year as follows:
Cost when acquired $ 396,000
Accumulated depreciation (based on straight-line depreciation, an estimated life of 50 years, and a $36,000 residual value) 72,000
During January of this year, on the basis of a careful study, management decided that the total estimated useful life should be changed to 30 years (instead of 50) and the residual value reduced to $30,000 (from $36,000)). The depreciation method will not change.
Required:
1. Compute the annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates.
2. Compute the annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates.3. What will be the net effect of changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year?

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute the annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates.

annual depreciation = ($396,000 - $36,000) / 50 = $7,200 per year

2. Compute the annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates.

annual depreciation = ($324,000 - $30,000) / 20 = $14,700 per year

3. What will be the net effect of changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year?

Any changes in an asset's useful life are reported prospectively, this means that they do not affect any past records, only future records are affected. In this case, the depreciation expense per year will increase form $7,200 to $14,700, so net income will be negatively affected by it. Cash flows will not be affected, since depreciation expense is a non-cash expense. P,P&E on the balance sheet will be affected because the net value of the building will decrease faster.  

Kevin Rogers is interested in buying a five-year bond that pays a coupon of 10 percent on a semiannual basis. The current market rate for similar bonds is 8.8 percent. What should be the current price of this bon?

a. $1, 099.
b. $982
c. $1.048
d. $965

Answers

Answer:

c. $1.048

Explanation:

Assuming face value to be $1000

Semi annual coupon = (10% of 1000) / 2 = 50

Number of periods = 5 * 2 = 10

Semi annual rate = 8.8% / 2 = 4.4%

Current price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)^n] / r + FV / (1 + r)^n

Current price = 50 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.044)^10] / 0.044 + 1000 / (1 + 0.044)^10

Current price = 50 * [1 - 0.650122] / 0.044 + 650.122225

Current price = 50 * 7.951768 + 650.122225

Current price = 397.5884 + 650.122225

Current price = 1047.710625

Current price = $1,048

The Pierce Co. just issued a dividend of $2.35 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $44 a share, what is the company's cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Cost of equity__________ %

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.106079 or 10.6079% rounded off to 10.61%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

D0 is the dividend paid  recently

D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year

g is the growth rate

r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

To calculate the cost of equity (r), we will plug in the values for P0, D0 and g in the formula,

44 = 2.35 * (1+0.05)  /  (r - 0.05)

44 * (r - 0.05) =  2.4675

44r - 2.2 = 2.4675

44r = 2.4675 + 2.2

r = 4.6675 / 44

r = 0.106079 or 10.6079% rounded off to 10.61%

The company's cost of equity is 10.61%.

The formula that can be used to determine the cost of equity is:

r = [tex]\frac{D_{1} }{P}[/tex] - g

Where:

[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = dividend next year = $2.35 x (1.05) = $2.47g = growth rate P = value of the stock = $44

r = [tex]\frac{2.47}{44} + 0.05[/tex] = 10.61%

A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?

Answers

Answer:

The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945

Explanation:

The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit

Monthly deposit = 2,100

Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month

Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit

FW = A(F/A, i, n)

A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80

FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]

FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]

FW = $2100*(121.671)

FW = $255,509.10

We calculate the effective interest rate

i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1

i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)

i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1

i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1

i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1

i (effective) = 0.030301

i (effective) = 3.0301%

The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%

We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings

FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]

A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)

FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]

FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]

FW = 5,000*(38.71282)

FW = $193,564.10

The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10

We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal

Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)

Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10

Amount left in account = $61,945

Thus, the amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945

how long will it take 13,000 to grow to 18,000 if the investment earns at the interest rate of 3% compunded monthly

Answers

Answer:

130 months

Explanation:

The computation of the time period is shown below:

Given that

Present value = $13,000

Future value = $18,000

PMT = $0

RATE = 3% ÷ 12 = 0.25%

The formula is shown below:

= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in positive

After applying the above formula, the time period is 130 months

Therefore the time that should be needed is 130 months

The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 13%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. What will be the market price of the security if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.

Answers

Answer: New Market price =$29.55

Explanation:

Using the   CAPM,Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM formule ,  The expected return on stock is given as

Er = Rf +β( Mr)

which means

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)

13%= 4% +beta (6%)

beta= 13%-4%/6%=0.13-0.04 /0.06

beta= 1.5

The dividend expected  to be paid is given as

Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return

= 50 X 13%

= $6.5

Now, if beta doubles, Expected return becomes

Er = Rf + 2β( Mr)  

Er= 4% + 2 x 1.5( 6%)

=4%+ 3.0( 6%)

0.04 + 0.18

Er = 0.22 = 22%

New Market price

Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return

Price = Expected dividend, D/Expected return

= $6.5/0.22

=$29.55

Let plug in the formula

Dirty price=$1,044.56 +($1,000 × 8.1% × 4 ÷ 12)

Dirty price= $1,044.56 + $27

Dirty price= $1,071.56

Therefore the bond's invoice ("dirty") price will be $1,071.56

Describe how the IRR is calculated, and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash fl ows. What is the IRR criterion decision rule?

Answers

Answer:

The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate that discounts a series of cashflows such that the Net Present Value becomes zero.

It is calculated in the same way the NPV is calculated which is to subtract the discounted cash outflows from the discounted cash inflows but this time it will be the subject of the equation which will be equated to zero.

Formula therefore is;

[tex]\frac{Cf_{1} }{(1 + IRR_{1} )} + \frac{Cf_{2}}{(1 + IRR_{2} )^{2} } + \frac{Cf_{n} }{(1 + IRR_{n} )^{n} } - Cf_{0} = 0[/tex]

Excel worksheets, financial calculators and solving the equation can all be used to find IRR.

The higher the IRR, the better for a project because it means that the project has high cash inflows that would take a higher rate to discount to zero.

The decision rule is the pick a project that has a higher IRR than the firm's Required rate of return because it means that the NPV will be more than zero.

0ver the past 100 years, stocks have showed a positive average return of 7% whilst bonds have shown a return of 2%. This makes sense because stocks generally offer higher returns than bonds which are fixed.

Stocks react to a variety of factors including interest rates and market fluctuations which makes them more risky whereas bonds which are fixed income securities are more stable in their returns making them less of a risk.

Stocks therefore offer a higher return to compensate for this risk as opposed to bonds.

The Dell Corporation borrowed â$ at â% interest perâ year, which must be repaid in equal EOY amountsâ (including both interest andâ principal) over the next years. How much must Dell repay at the end of eachâ year? How much of the total amount repaid isâ interest?

Answers

Answer:

A. $2,098,000 per year

B. $2,588,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for How much must Dell repay at the end of each year

First step is to calculate (A/P, 7%, 6 )which will give us (0.2098)

Now let Calculate the amount to repay

Amount to repay= $10,000,000 (A/P, 7%, 6)

Amount to repay= $10,000,000 (0.2098)

Amount to repay = $2,098,000 per year

Therefore the amount that Dell will repay at the end of each year will be $2,098,000 per year

2. Calculation for How much of the total amount repaid is interest

Total interest repaid = ($2,098,000*6 years)− $10,000,000

Total interest repaid=$12,588,000-$10,000,000

Total interest repaid= $2,588,000

Therefore the total amount repaid interest will be $2,588,000

Company X has 100 shares outstanding. It earns $1,000 per year and announces that it will use all $1,000 to repurchase its shares in the open market instead of paying dividends. Calculate the number of shares outstanding at the end of year 1, after the first share repurchase, if the required rate of return is 10 percent.a) 110.0
b) 100.0
c) 90.91
d) 89.0

Answers

Answer:

d) 89.0

Explanation:

The value of the company today is the present value of its cash flows in perpetuity which is the cash flows divided by the required rate of return.

value of the firm=$1000/10%=$10,000

share price=value of the firm/shares outstanding

share price=$10,000/100=$100

number of shares to be repurchased=$1000/$100=10

number of shares after repurchase=100-10=90

note that when 90.91 is rounded to a whole, it turns out to be 92 while 89 is rounded to 90

Ace Industries has current assets equal to $5 million. The company's current ratio is 2.0, and its quick ratio is 1.6. What is the firm's level of current liabilities? What is the firm's level of inventories?

Answers

Answer:

=1.25

Explanation:

Current ratio= current asset/ current liabilities

Current ratio= $5 million./ Current Liabilities

Cross multiply we have

But current ratio is 2.0

2= 5/ current liabilities

current liabilities= 5/2

=2.5million

Quick ratio= current Asset- inventory/current liabilities

1.5=( 5- inventory)/2.5

Cross multiply we have

1.5×2.5= ( 5- inventory)

3.75= ( 5- inventory)

inventory= 5-3.75

=1.25

Therefore, the firm's level of inventories is 1.25

Accurate Metal Company sold 39,000 units of its product at a price of $390 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $196, consisting of $187 in variable production cost and $9 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.

Answers

Answer:

Manufacturing margin = 7566000

Explanation:

given data

sold = 39,000 units

price = $390 per unit

Total variable cost  = $196 per unit

variable production = $187

variable selling and administrative cost = $9

solution

first we get here the sales revenue that will be

sales revenue = 39000 × 390

sales revenue = 15210000

and

Cogs = 39000 × 196 = 7644000

so here Manufacturing margin will be

Manufacturing margin = 15210000 - 7644000

Manufacturing margin = 7566000
