Consider the following $1000 par value zero-coupon Treasury bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 4.00% B 2 4.50% C 3 5.11% D 4 5.86% E 5 6.25% The expected 2-year interest rate three years from now should be __________. Enter your answer in percent to the nearest hundredth, for example if your answer is .25432, enter 25.43.
Answer: 7.98%
Explanation:
This deals with spot rates and forward rates. The 2 year interest rate three years from now is the 2 year forward rate, 3 years from now.
It can be calculated through the relationship below:
(1 + 5 year spot rate)⁵ = (1 + third year spot rate)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 6.25%)⁵ = (1 + 5.11%)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
1.35408 = 1.161267 * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 2 year forward rate)² = 1.35408 / 1.161267
1 + 2 year forward rate = √1.16603675
2 year forward rate = √1.16603675 - 1
= 7.98%

The asset class is debited while the partner's capital account is credited with this fair market value and not the book or cost value.
Droz's Hiking Gear, Inc. has found that its common equity capital shares have a beta equal to 2.5 while the risk-free return is 9 percent and the expected return on the market is 14 percent. It has 7-year semiannual maturity bonds outstanding with a price of $787.22 that have a coupon rate of 8 percent. The firm is financed with $120,000,000 of common shares (market value) and $80,000,000 of debt. What is the after-tax weighted average cost of capital for Droz's, if it is subject to a 30 percent marginal tax rate
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the cost of a firm from permanent sources of capital pooled together.
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock
where,
Cost of equity = Return on Risk free rate + Beta x Risk Premium
= 9.00 % + 2.5 x (14.00 % - 9.00%)
= 21.50 %
Cost of debt :
similar
N = 7 x 2 = 14
p/yr = 2
pmt = ($787.22 x 8%) ÷ 2 =
fv = $787.22 x number of bonds
pv = $80,000,000
Always use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

An all equity capitalized firm (i.e., no debt in the capital structure) is expected to produce a cash flow in the amount of $900,000 in its first year of operation. Cash flow is expected to grow at 2% annually for the foreseeable future each year thereafter. If the firm's investors require a 10% return, what is the estimated Market Value of the Firm
Answer:
Explanation:
Cash flow at end of year 1 = $900,000
Growth rate = 2%
Required rate of return = 10%
Estimated Market value = Cash flow at end of year 1 / (Required rate of return - Growth rate}
Estimated Market value = $900,000 / (0.10 - 0.02)
Estimated Market value = $900,000 / 0.08
Estimated Market value = $11,250,000
So, the the estimated Market Value of the Firm is $11,250,000

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department had 3,840 liters in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete). During the period 64,880 liters were completed. The ending work in process was 5,160 liters (70% completed). All inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method. What is the total equivalent units for direct materials (using the FIFO method) if materials were added at the beginning of the process
Answer:
Total equivalent units of materials = 64,652
Explanation:
Equivalent units are useful to apportion cost between work in progress and completed units. They are notional whole units which represent incomplete work
Equivalent Units = Degree of work completed (%) × inventory units
Fully worked = 64,880- 3,840= 61,040
Items units workings Equivalent units
Opening inventory 3,840 3840× 70% = 2,688
Fully worked 61,040 61,040× 100 = 61,040
Closing WIP 5,160 5,160× 70% = 3,612
Total equivalent units of materials 64,652
Total equivalent units of materials =64,652

At a price of $35, there would be Select one: a. excess demand, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price. b. a shortage, and the price would tend to rise from $35 to a higher price. c. excess supply, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price. d. a surplus, and the price would tend to rise from $35 to a higher price.
Answer: c. excess supply, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price.
Explanation:
At $35 there is excess supply because this is a price that most consumers are not willing to pay but most suppliers are willing to sell.
Supply at $35 = 600
Quantity demanded at $35 = 200
This would lead to prices falling as suppliers try to sell the excess supply. The prices would ideally keep falling till the equilibrium price is reached which is $25. At this point, the quantity demanded and supplied will be equal to each other.

Answer:
$29,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The amount of intra-entity gross profit for which recognition is deferred, and should therefore be eliminated in the consolidation process at the end of 2021, is:
Intra-Entity Gross Profit= ($84,000 ÷ $420,000) *20%
Intra-Entity Gross Profit= ($84,000 ÷ $420,000) *20%
Intra-Entity Gross Profit = $29,000

A study by the Environmental Protection Agency looked at the costs and benefits of the Clean Air Act from 1970 to 1990. This study found that a middle-range estimate of health and other benefits of cleaner air were valued at $22 trillion. This amount was about __________________ than the costs of reducing pollution, which was around $500 billion, in the same period.
Answer: d. 44 times higher
Explanation:
The benefits of cleaner air was $22 trillion and the cost of reducing pollution was $500 billion.
The number of times that you would have to multiply this cost of reducing pollution to get to the benefits of cleaner air is:
= 22 trillion / 500 billion
= 22,000 billion / 500 billion
= 44 times higher

5-year cost-saving =[tex](23300-19600)\times 5 = \$18,500[/tex]
old machine Sale value = [tex]\$5,700[/tex]
Differential effect on income = cost savings for 5 years +Sale value of old machine - purchase cost of the new machine
[tex]= 18500+ 5700 - 65300\\\\= - 41,100[/tex]
Cliff Company traded in an old truck for a new one. The old truck had a cost of $130,000 and accumulated depreciation of $65,000. The new truck had an invoice price of $135,000. Huffington was given a $63,000 trade-in allowance on the old truck, which meant they paid $72,000 in addition to the old truck to acquire the new truck. If this transaction has commercial substance, what is the recorded value of the new truck
Answer:
the recorded value of the new truck is $135,000
Explanation:
The computation of the recorded value of the new truck is given below;
In the case when the transaction has the commercial substance so the recorded value of the new truck would be equivalent to the invoice price or the fair value i.e. $135,000
Hence, the recorded value of the new truck is $135,000
The same would be considered and relevant
And all other values are to be ignored
Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows:
Demand
Staffing Options High Medium Low
Own staff 650 650 600
Outside vendor 900 600 300
Combination 800 650 500
Required:
a. If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data processing operation?
b. Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a).
Answer:
Explanation:
a. If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data processing operation?
Expected value own staff = 0.2(650 + 0.5(650) + 0.3(300) = 635
EV outside vendor = 0.2(900) + 0.5(600) + 0.3(300) = 570
EV combination = 0.2(800) + 0.5(650) + 0.3(500) = 635
Therefore, the correct answer is outside vendor since it has the minimum expected value.
b. Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a)
Demand Cost Probability
Low. 300000. 0.3
Medium. 600000. 0.5
High 900000. 0.2
The required probability is 0.2
Arkansas Co. believes in the international Fisher effect. It has excess funds that it can invest in money market securities for one year. It can invest in the U.S. at an interest rate of 4%, Japan at an interest rate of 2%, the United Kingdom at an interest rate of 6%, or Brazil at an interest rate of 9%. It would not cover any investment that it takes against exchange rate risk. Its expected return on its investment will be highest in_________________.
Answer: It would be the same across all the countries.
Explanation:
The Fischer effect is used to describe the relationship that a country's interest rates and its exchange rate. That relationship is such that the differences between the different interest rates offered in various countries is captured by their exchange rate.
That means that whatever gains are made in interest rates will be eroded when the currency it was made in is converted to the local currency of the investor. As this company took no cover against exchange rate risk, all the countries are effectively offering the same rate as a result of the Fisher effect.
Moses Moonrocks Inc. has developed a balanced scorecard with a measure map that suggests that the number of erroneous shipments has a direct effect on operating profit. The company estimates that every shipment error leads to a reduction of revenue by $3,000 and increased costs of about $2,000.
Sales $230,000
Cost of goods sold 150,000
Depreciation expense 30,000
Other expenses 20,000
Answer:
6
Explanation:
The computation of the shipping errors in the case of break even is given below;
But before that the net operating income is
Sales $230,000
Less: Cost of goods sold 150,000
Less: Depreciation expense 30,000
Less: Other expenses 20,000
Net operating income $30,000
Now the shipping errors is
= $30,000 ÷ ($3,000 + $2,000)
= 6
