Answer:
$28.96%
Explanation:
Given the above information, we would calculate first the total variable cost
Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing selling expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
= $942,000 + $358,000
= $1,300,000
The next is to compute the contribution margin
Contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost
= $1,830,000 - $1,300,000
= $530,000
Therefore,
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin / Sales) × 100
= ($530,000 / $1,830,000) × 100
= 28.96%
A bond currently sells for $1,050, which gives it a yield to maturity of 6%. Suppose that if the yield increases by 25 basis points, the price of the bond falls to $1,025. What is the modified duration of this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Duration years
Answer:
9.52 years
Explanation:
Calculation for the modified duration of this bond
First step is to calculate the Percentage decrease in Price of Bond
Percentage decrease in Price of Bond =($1,025-$1,050)/$1,050
Percentage decrease in Price of Bond=-2.3810%
Second step is to calculate the Percentage change in price
Using this formula
Percentage change in price =-Modified Duration*Change in YTM
Let plug in the formula
-2.3810% =-Modified Duration*0.25%
Modified Duration =2.3810%/0.25%
Modified Duration =9.52 years
Therefore the modified duration of this bond is 9.52 years

Southern Markets has sales of $78,400, net income of $2,400, costs of goods sold of $43,100, and depreciation of $6,800. What is the common-size statement value of EBIT?
Answer:
36.35%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Sales = $78,400
Net income = $2,400
Cost of goods sodl = $43,100
Depreciation = $6,800
So, we can calculate the EBIT value by using following formula:
= EBIT ÷ Sales
= ($78,400 - $43,100 - $6,800) ÷ ($78,400)
= $28,500 ÷ $78,400
= 36.35%
Hence, the common-size statement value of EBIT is 36.35%
You work for a company that manufactures electric lawn mowers. The mowers work when the user plugs an extension cord into the outlet and into the machine. In order to start the machine, the user must pull a lever and hold it while pushing a button. You believe that your mower is extremely safe. It contains several warnings about using it only on grass, that it is not to be used to shred tree branches or other wood products, and that it is not to be used without the bag attachment for catching the grass that is thrown out the back. A customer sues your company after being hurt when he used the electric lawn mower during a rainstorm. Discuss whether or not your company should have included a warning label to address use of the electric lawn mower in the rain.

Suppose that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate is 7%. Your client chooses to invest 70% of a portfolio in your fund and 30% in the T-bills. Suppose the same client in the previous problem decides to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his total investment budget so that his overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 15%. What is the proportion y
Answer:
Proportion y = 80%
Explanation:
E(rc) - r(f) = y[E(rp) - r(f)]. Where E(rc) - r(f) is Risk premium of clients overall portfolio and y[E(rp) - r(f)] is Risk premium of clients risky portfolio
0.15 - 0.07 = y[0.17 - 0.07]
0.08 = y(0.10)
y = 0.08/0.10
y = 0.80
y = 80%
So, the proportion of risky portfolio(y) is 80%. So, to achieve overall return of 15% on portfolio, investors needs to invest 80% investment in risky portfolio.

A car dealership can offer a $36,000 car under a special promotion with four years financing at 0%, or can offer a discount off the price of the vehicle if the buyer finances the sale at 0.5% monthly over the four years. What discount off the purchase price results in the buyer making the identical monthly payment under either purchase option
Answer:
$4,064.76
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
If car financing at 0%, then
Car price = $36,000
Time period = 48 months
So, Monthly payment = $36,000 ÷ 48 = $750
If financing at regular rate then,
Monthly interest rate = 0.5%
Time period = 48 months
Monthly payment , if we consider the same payment = $750
By using excel formula, [=PV(BY8,BY9,-BY10)]
Discount = $4,064.76

Dubas Co. is a U.S.-based MNC that has a subsidiary in Germany and another subsidiary in Greece. Both subsidiaries frequently remit their earnings back to the parent company. The German subsidiary generated a net outflow of €2,000,000 this year, while the Greek subsidiary generated a net inflow of €1,500,000. What is the net inflow or outflow as measured in U.S. dollars this year? The exchange rate for the euro is $1.05. Group of answer choices $525,000 outflow $3,675,000 outflow $210,000 outflow $525,000 inflow
Answer:
$525,000 outflow
Explanation:
The German subsidiary had a net ouflow of €2,000,000
The Greek subsidiary had a net inflow of €1,500,000.
In other words, the U.S-based multinational would record an outflow because the net ouflow shown above is more than the net inflow.
Net ouflow=net ouflow-net inflow
Net ouflow= €2,000,000-€1,500,000.
net ouflow=€500,000.
Lastly, we convert the ouflow into dollars using the below exchange rate
€1=$1.05
€500,000 in dollars=€500,000*$1.05/1€
€500,000 in dollars=$525,000
A student has a job that leaves her with $300 per month in disposable income. She decides that she will use the money to buy a car. Before looking for a car, she arranges a 100% loan whose terms are $300 per month for 48 months at 9% nominal annual interest. What is the maximum car purchase price that she can afford with her loan
Answer:
$12,055.44
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum car purchase price that can afford the loan is as follows:
But before that following calculations must be done:
The Monthly interest rate is
= 9% ÷ 12
= 0.75%
The Maximum price ($) is
= $300 × PVIFA(0.75%, 48)
= $300 × 40.1848
= $12,055.44

Taylor Company leased an asset from Lease Corp. using an operating lease for equipment with a useful life of seven years. The initial lease term was for three years. After two years, Taylor Company and Lease Corp. agree to extend the lease term by three years, and to change the amount of lease payments. The additional three years were not originally an option. How should Taylor address this lease modification
Answer:
update the right-of-use asset for the increase in present value
reclassify from an operating lease to a finance lease
Explanation:
In the given instance there is a modification to the lease contract after 2 years of the 3 year lease.
Taylor Company and Lease Corp. agree to extend the lease term by three years, and to change the amount of lease payments.
Financial lease is one that confers a form of ownership of the lessee. He does not only have operational control of the equipment but also bears gains or loss from change in the value of the asset.
The new lease agreement covers most of the useful life of the equipment so it confers some degree of ownership to Taylor company. There is a need to reclassify the lease as a financial lease.
The present value of the asset has also increased has also increased so the right of use should be upgraded
ABC Corp. is considering an investment project that costs $500 today. It expects the project will yield income of $200 at the end of years 1, 2, and 3. The interest rate must be ________ for the firm to undertake the project.
Answer:
B) no more than 9%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of interest is given below:
Given that
Initial Cost = $500
Yearly Yield = $200
Based on the above information
Let us assume the rate of interest be 10%
So,
PV at 10% is
= - $500 + $200 ( P/A , 10% , 3 )
= -$500 + $200 ( 2.487 )
= - 500 + 497.4
= -2.6
As we can see that the at 10% there is a negative value and if we take more than 10% so again it would be the negative value
Now
Let us assume the rate of interest be 10%
So,
PV at 8% is
= - $500 + $200 ( P/A , 8% , 3 )
= -$500 + $200 ( 2.577 )
= -$500 + $515.4
= $15.4
So the rate of interest would not be more than 9%
