Answer:
Total Assets = 4600 ,Total Liabilities = 4,600
Explanation:
Given:
Deposits = 4,600 million
Reserve requirement = 10% of deposits
Computation:
Reserve requirement = 10% x 4,600 million
Reserve requirement = 460 million
Total Assets = Reserves + Outstanding Loan
Outstanding Loan = Deposits - Reserve requirement
Outstanding Loan = 4,600 million - 460 million
Outstanding Loan = 4,140 million
Balance sheet:
Assets: Liabilities:
Reserves 460 Deposits 4,600
Loans 4140
Total Assets 4600 Total Liabilities 4,600
Reserve requirement = 8%
Reserves requirement = 8% x 4,600
requirement = 368 million
Outstanding Loans = 4,600 - 368
Outstanding = 4,232 million
New Balance sheet:
Assets: Liabilities:
Reserves 368 Deposits 4,600
Loans 4,232
Total Assets 4600 Total Liabilities 4,600

Given the following information for Smith Company's Northern Division, what is the division's EBITDA margin?
Revenue $44,140
Operating income 18,112
Depreciation 5,000
Amortization 1,422
Tax rate 20%
a. $37,718
b. $13,112
c. $24,534
d. $19,627
Answer:
EBITDA margin is 55.58%
Explanation:
EBITDA margin is computed as;
= EBITDA / Total revenue
Where,
EBITDA = Earnings before interest and taxes + depreciation + amortization
EBITDA margin = ($18,112 + $5,000 + $1,422) / $44,140
EBITDA margin = $24,534 / $44,140
EBITDA margin = 55.58%

a firm has a market value of equity of 30,000. it borrows 7500 at 8%. if the unlevered cost of equity is 16%, what is the firms cost of equity capital
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
Ke = Kul +[Kul+Kd] [D/E]
Unlevered cost of Equity(Kul)= 16%, Cost of Debt(kd) = 8%, Debt = $7500 & Equity = $30,000
ke= 0.16+(0.16-0.08)(7,500/30,000)
ke= 0.16+(0.08)(0.25)
ke= 0.16 + 0.02
ke= 0.18
Ke = 18%
Thus, the firms cost of equity capital is 18%
A few years ago the British government was considering retiring, or buying back from investors, some outstanding consols that had annual coupons of . A consol is:______
a. a coupon bond that pays a variable coupon rate and does not mature.
b. a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and has a fixed maturity date.
c. a coupon bond that pays a variable coupon and has a fixed maturity date.
d. a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature.
If the yield to maturity on other long-term British government bonds was 2.0%, the price the British government is likely to offer investors is £ _________
Answer: d. coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature.
$3250
Explanation:
A consol is a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature. Consols are consolidated annuities that are perpetual. A steady amount of interest is paid for a consol even though they're not redeemable
Price of a consol will be gotten as fixed coupon amount divided by the rate of return. Let's assume that the fixed coupon amount is $65, then the price will be:
= 65/2%
= $3250
Average Accounting Return. Concerning AAR:a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the AAR criterion decision rule?b. What are the problems associated with using the AAR as a means of evaluating a project’s cash flows? What underlying feature of AAR is most troubling to you from a financial perspective? Does the AAR have any redeeming qualities?
Answer:
a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the AAR criterion decision rule?
Average accounting return = average net income / average investment
The problem with AAR is that net cash flows are not equal to net income since depreciation expense and changes in net working capital are not accounted for by AAR.
The criterion decision rule is that projects with an AAR above a certain measure.
b. What are the problems associated with using the AAR as a means of evaluating a project’s cash flows? What underlying feature of AAR is most troubling to you from a financial perspective? Does the AAR have any redeeming qualities?
it doesn't consider net cash flows, nor time value of money. Personally, accounting is an extremely important tool but it only reflects a partial perspective of a business. E.g. a business might have a huge net income but if it doesn't have enough cash to function, it will go bankrupt. In finance, cash is king.
Personally, my biggest problem with AAR is that it doesn't consider net cash flows. I've been on situations where the company I worked for was apparently doing great, but our accounts receivables were huge and we couldn't collect money fast enough. My job was basically go to different banks and convince them of loaning us cash. The worst part was that even without being able to collect cash, we still had to pay taxes and that was another huge problem.
I believe that AAR is still used because of its simplicity. Also, taxes are paid based on accounting profits and many firms base they compensation plans on them.
The risk free rate is 4%, and the required return on the market is 12%. 1. What is the required return on an asset A with a beta of 1.5?2. What is the reward/risk ratio?3. What is the required return on a portfolio consisting of 40% of the asset above and the rest in an asset with an average amount of systematic risk?
Answer:
required return 16%
risk/reward 8%
portfolio return 13.60%
Explanation:
Required return=risk-free rate+beta*(market return-risk free rate)
risk-free rate=4%
beta=1.5
market return=12%
required return=4%+1.5*(12%-4%)=16.00%
Reward/risk ratio=market return-risk free rate
reward/risk ratio=12%-4%=8%
Portfolio return=weight of the asset* required return on asset+weight of the rest of the portfolio*market return
weight of the asset=40%
required return=16%
weight of the rest of the portfolio=1-40%=60%
market return=12%
portfolio return=(40%*16%)+(60%*12%)=13.60%
The risk-free rate is termed as the return that is associated with the investment with zero or no risk. It represents the number of investors that would expect a higher return from no-risk investment over a specified period of time.
The answers are:
required return 16%
risk/reward 8%
portfolio return 13.60%
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Required return}=\text{risk-free rate}+\text{beta}\times(\text{market return-risk free rate})\end{aligned}[/tex]
risk-free rate=4%
beta=1.5
market return=12%
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{required return}=4\%+1.5\times(12\%-4\%)=16.00\%\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{Reward}{risk}\end{aligned}[/tex] ratio=market return-risk free rate
[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{\text{reward}}{\text{risk ratio}}=12\%-4\%=8\%\end{aligned}[/tex]
Hence the [tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{Reward}{risk}\end{aligned}[/tex] ratio is 8%
Portfolio return=[tex]\text{weight of the asset}\times\text{ required return on asset}+\text{weight of the rest of the portfolio}\times{\text{market return}}[/tex]
weight of the asset=40%
required return=16%
weight of the rest of the portfolio=1-40%=60%
market return=12%
portfolio return=[tex](40\%*16\%)+(60\%\times12\%)=13.60\%[/tex]
Therefore the required return on a portfolio is 13.60%.

At the beginning of its fiscal year, Lakeside Inc. leased office space to LTT Corporation under a ten-year operating lease agreement. The contract calls for quarterly rent payments of $28,000 each. The office building was acquired by Lakeside at a cost of $2.3 million and was expected to have a useful life of 25 years with no residual value.
What will be the effect of the lease on Lakeside's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
Lakeside increases its earnings by $__________
Answer: $20,000
Explanation:
The effect of the lease on Lakeside's earnings will be the difference between the earnings from the lease and the cost of the building which will be depreciation.
Depreciation = 2,300,000/25
= $92,000 per year
Earnings per year;
= 28,000 * 4
= $112,000
Increase in earnings = 112,000 - 92,000
= $20,000
Which type of supply chain collaboration includes collaborative processes across the supply chain using a set of processes and technology models including a joint business plan, sales forecasting, order planning and forecasting, order generation, and order fulfillment?
Answer:
Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR)
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The fundamental principle of supply chain management is basically a collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) is a type of supply chain collaboration which includes collaborative processes across the supply chain using a set of processes and technology models including a joint business plan, sales forecasting, order planning and forecasting, order generation, and order fulfillment.
Equipment which cost $446,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $248,000 was sold for $222,000. This transaction should be shown on the statement of cash flows (indirect method) as a(n):_________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For profit or loss on the sale of an equipment
Cost $446,000
Less: accumulate depreciation -$248,000
Book value $198,000
Less: sold value -$222,000
Loss on sale of an equipment -$24,000
This amount would be added to the net income
And, the sale value i.e. $222,000 should be shown in the investing activity in a positive amount

Walters Corporation sells radios for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $525,000 and the variable costs are 60% of the selling price. As a result of new automated equipment, it is anticipated that fixed costs will increase by $125,000 and variable costs will be 50% of the selling price. The new break-even point in units is:_____. a. 26,250.b. 26,000.c. 25,750.d. 21,000.
Answer:
b. 26,000 units
Explanation:
We will calculate break even point as;
Break even point = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Fixed costs = $525,000 + $125,000 = $650,000
Also, Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
Selling price per unit = $50
Variable expense per unit
= 50% × $50
= $25
Contribution margin per unit
= $50 - $25
= $25
Therefore, the break even point in units
= $650,000 ÷ $25
= 26,000 units
OCF from Several Approaches [L01] A proposed new project has projected sales of $125,000, costs of $59,000, and depreciation of $12,800. The tax rate is 35 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches described in the chapter and verify that the answer is the same in each case.
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
In order to calculate the operating cash flow, we will get the value of net income. The income statement is calculated as;
Sales
$125,000
Less :
Costs
($59,000)
Depreciation
($12,800)
EBIT
$53,200
Less tax 35%
($18,620)
Net income
$34,580
1. Using the tax shield method
OCF = (Sales - Costs)(1 - Tax) + Tax(Depreciation)
OCF = ($125,000 - $59,000)(1 - 35%) + 35%($12,800)
OCF = ($66,000)(0.65) + $4,480
OCF = $42,900 + $4,480
OCF = 47,380
2. Using the financial calculation
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
OCF = $53,200 + $12,800 - $18,620
OCF = $47,380
3. Using the top down approach
OCF = Sales - Costs - Taxes
OCF = $125,000 - $59,000 - $18,620
OCF = $47,380
4. Using the bottom up approach
OCF = Net income + Depreciation
OCF = $34,580 + $12,800
OCF = $47,380

You can receive 400,000 five years from today or 1,000,000 thirty years from today. what interest rate makes them equivalent?
Answer:
3.73%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of interest that makes the equivalent is shown below:
As we know that
Present value=Cash flow × Present value discounting factor ( interest rate% , time period)
Let us assume the interest rate be x
where,
Present value of $400,000 is
= $400,000 ÷ 1.0x ^5
And,
Present value of $1,000,000 be
= $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30
Now eqaute these two equations
$400,000 ÷ 1.0x^5 = $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30
(1.0x^30) ÷ (1.0x^5) = $1,000,000 ÷ $400,000
1.0x^(30 - 5)=2.5
1.0x^25=2.5
1.0x = (2.5)^(1 ÷ 25)
x =1.03733158 - 1
= 3.73%

Which of the following was the first nation to prosper due to the use of power equipment vice (might be via) hand tools?
A. France
B. Great Britain
C. United States
Answer:
B). Great Britain

The first nation expanded due to the use of hand tools and power equipment was Great Britain. Its industries of handtools played a great role in flourishing the trade industries of Britain and gave a new significance to agricultural raw materials and craftsmen. The Great Britain's idea also gained from its rule of India as the Indian products suddenly raised demand in the market which compelled the state to bring a handmade craft revolution. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Calculate the after-tax cost of debt using following bond information. A four year bond has a 7 percent coupon rate and a $1000 face value. If the market value of the bond is $788, assuming that the bond makes annual coupon payments and the tax rate is 35%.
a. 7.16 %
b. 14.32 %
c. 12.12 %
d. 9.31 %
e. 5.01 %
Answer:
d. 9.31 %
Explanation:
in order to solve this question you cannot use the approximate yield to maturity since it will yield an approximation, but not an exact answer:
approximate YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 788)/4]} / [(1,000 - 788)/2] = 13.76%
after tax cost of debt = 13.76% x 0.65 = 8.94%, but that is not an option
we must determine the exact yield to maturity which is determined by the following formula:
$788 = $70/(1 + i) + $70/(1 + i)² + $70/(1 + i)³ + $1,070/(1 + i)⁴
the simplest way to solve this is by using a financial calculator since the math is complicated. The exact yield to maturity = 14.324%
after tax cost of debt = 14.324% x (1 - tax rate) = 14.324% x 0.65 = 9.31%

A firm has a machine it can sell for $40,000. The book value of the machine is currently $20,000. If the firm sells the machine, what are the net proceeds from the sale? Assume that the tax rate is 40%. Round to the nearest penny.
Answer:
the net proceeds from the sale is $32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net proceeds from the sale is shown below:
Net Proceeds = Sale Price - Tax × (Sale price - purchase price)
= $40,000 - 40% × ($40,000 - $20,000)
= $40,000 - $8,000
= $32,000
Hence, the net proceeds from the sale is $32,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered

Sheffield Corp. manufactures a product with a standard direct labor cost of two hours at $18 per hour. During July, 1800 units were produced using 3800 hours at $18.30 per hour. The labor price variance was
Answer:
$1,140(A)
Explanation:
The labor price variance is computed as;
= (SP - AP) × AH
Where:
SP = Standard price hour = $18 per hour
AP = Actual price per hour = $18.30 per hour
AH = Actual hours used = 3,800
Labor price variance = ($18 - $18.30) × 3,800 hours
Labor price variance = $1,140 (A)
Therefore, the labor price variance was $1,140(A)
