In December 2015, General Electric (GE) had a book value of equity of $97.1 billion, 9.2 billion shares outstanding, and a market price of $30.06 per share. GE also had cash of $103.9 billion, and total debt of $201.7 billion. a. What was GE's market capitalization? What was GE's market-to-book ratio? b. What was GE's book debt-equity ratio? What was GE's market debt-equity ratio? c. What was GE's enterprise value?
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
a. What was GE's market capitalization? What was GE's market-to-book ratio?
Calculation of GE's market capitalization
Market capitalization = Number of shares outstanding * market price per share = 9.2 billion * $30.06 = 276.60 billion
Calculation of GE's market-to-book ratio
Market-to-book ratio = Market capitalization / Book value of equity = $276.552 billion / $97.1 billion = 2.85
b. What was GE's book debt-equity ratio? What was GE's market debt-equity ratio?
Calculation of GE's book debt-equity ratio?
Book debt-equity ratio = Total debt / Book value of equity = $201.7 billion / $97.1 billion = 2.08
Calculation of GE's market debt-equity ratio
Market debt equity ratio = Total debt / Market capitalization = $201.7 billion / $276.46 billion = 0.73
c. What was GE's enterprise value?
Enterprise value = Market capitalization + Total debt - cash = $276.46 billion + $201.7 billion - $103.9 billion = $374.26 billion

Prices of existing bonds move _________ as market interest rates move _________.
a) down, down
b) up, down
c) Bond prices don't move as market interest rates move.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Bonds prices and market interest rates are negatively correlated i.e if the market interest rate(yield-to-maturity) of a bond goes up, the price of the bond goes down and if the yield-to-maturity(interest rate) rate goes down, the price of the bond goes up.
Usually, bonds with high interest rate are riskier than bonds with low interest rate.

On January 10 of the current year, Mary transfer to Green Corporation a machine purchased three years ago for $100,000. On the transfer date, the machine has a $60,000 adjusted basis and a $10,000 FMV. Mary receives all 100 shares of Green stock, worth $100,000, and a two-year Green note worth $10,000. Required:a. What are the amount and character of Mary's recognized gain or loss? b. What is Mary's basis in the stock and note? When does her holding period begin? c. What are the amount and character of Green's gain or loss? d. What is Green's basis in the machine? When does Green's holding period begin?
Answer:
First of all, I believe that their is a mistake on the question, since the FMV of the machine should be $100,000, not $10,000, or else it wouldn't make much sense.
a. What are the amount and character of Mary's recognized gain or loss?
ordinary income of $10,000
The two year note is considered boot and therefore, Mary must report it as ordinary income.
b. What is Mary's basis in the stock and note? When does her holding period begin?
Mary's basis in the stock is $60,000 (the basis of the machine), and $0 for the note (recognized as ordinary income). Her holding period began three years ago when the machine was purchased.
c. What are the amount and character of Green's gain or loss?
Under a carryover basis limit rule (for a section 351 exchange), Green Corporation's basis is reduced, but it not considered a loss or a gain. The basis of the exchanged stock must equal the carryover basis of the property given in exchange.
d. What is Green's basis in the machine? When does Green's holding period begin?
Same as Mary's, the basis is $60,000 and the holding period is 3 years. Since Mary owns 100% of Green Corporation as a result of the exchange, her basis and the corporation's basis will be the same.
Our newly constructed retail space is projected to need a face lift in 7 years to keep up with changing tastes. Our projections are that the cost will be $2.5 mil. If we set aside a reserve for replacement our best return prospects for a safe investment (i.e. little risk to principle) suggest a 3% annual interest rate. How much should we deposit annually into that reserve account (sinking fund problem)
Answer:
Annual deposit = $326,265.88
Explanation:
The amount to be set aside annually to accumulate $2.5 million in 7 years time ca n be worked out using the future value of an ordinary annuity formula.
The formula is given as follows:
FV = A×( (1+r)^n - 1)/r).
A= FV/ ((1+r)^n - 1)/r
FV - Future value
A- annual deposit
n- number of years
r- rate of return
FV - $2.5 million
A- ?
n- 7
A=2,500,000 ÷ (1.03^7 - 1)/0.03 = 326,265.88
Annual deposit = $326,265.88
You invested $4,500 in a project which gave you a return of 12.5% the 1st year. You were quite happy, but the 2nd year wasn't as good. You lost 3.3% that year. The 3rd year was better - you made 5.5% on this investment. What was your annual average rate of return over the three years
Answer:
4.9%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual average rate of return over the three years is shown below:
Given that
Positive return in 1st year is 12.5%
The Negative return in 2nd year is 3.3%
And, the positive return in 3rd year is 5.5%
So, the annual average rate of return is
= (12.5% - 3.3% + 5.5%) ÷ (3 years)
= 4.9%

Yasmin Co. can further process Product B to produce Product C. Product B is currently selling for $34 per pound and costs $26 per pound to produce. Product C would sell for $57 per pound and would require an additional cost of $22 per pound to produce. What is the differential cost of producing Product C
Answer:
Differential cost of producing product C is $22
Explanation:
Total cost of product C = Cost of product B + Additional cost to produce C
= $26 + $22
= $48
Differential Cost = Total cost to produce C - Cost of producing B
= $48 - $26
= $22
Thus, the differential cost of producing product C is $22
enkins Company had the following information for the year: Direct materials used $ 301,100 Direct labor incurred (9,300 hours) $ 252,600 Actual manufacturing overhead incurred $ 420,000 Jenkins Company used a predetermined overhead rate using estimated overhead of $368,000 and 8,000 estimated direct labor hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Finished Goods Inventory balance of $19,700. What was adjusted cost of goods sold
Answer:
The adjusted cost of goods sold is $86,710
Explanation:
The actual cost of production incurred = Direct materials used + Direct labor incurred + Actual manufacturing overhead incurred
= $301,100 + $252,600 + $420,000
= $973,100
Actual costs of goods sold = $973,100 - $19,700
= $953,400
Direct labor cost per hour = $252,600 / 9,300 hours
= $27.16 per hour
Estimated direct labor cost = $252,600 / 9,300 × 8,000
= $217,290
Total estimated cost of production = $301,100 + $217,290 + $368,000
= $886,390
Estimated cost of goods sold = $886,390 - $19,700
= $866,690
Therefore,
Adjusted cost of goods sold =
$953,400 - $866,690
= $86,710

Calculate the current ratio. b. Calculate the acid-test ratio. c. Calculate the debt to equity ratio.
Answer:
a. Current ratio = 5.17
b. Acid test ratio = 3.06
c. Debt to equity ratio = 0.26
Explanation:
a. Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current t assets = $63,000 + $47,000 + $53,000 + $23,000
= $186,000
Current liabilities = $16,000 + $6,000 + *$14,000
= $36,000
• Note $14,000 is gotten by ; $140,000 / 10 years.
Current ratio = $186,000 / $36,000
= 5.17
b. Acid test ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
Quick assets = Current assets w/o inventory
= $63,000 + $47,000
= $110,000
Current liabilities = $36,000
Acid test ratio = $110,000 / $36,000
= 3.06
c. Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholder's equity
Total liabilities = $36,000
Shareholder's equity = $78,000 + $62,000
= $140,000
Debt to equity ratio = $36,000 / $140,000
= 0.26

A security will make payments of $25 per month for the next 5 years, plus $1000 at maturity. Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the period rate will be more than the nominal rate If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will increase. If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the effective rate will increase If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will decrease.
Answer: If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will decrease.
Explanation:
If Yields in the market fell, Bonds would still be making the same coupon payments they always have been regardless of this fall. This will lead investors to buy more bonds which will have the effect of raising bond prices.
This therefore shows that Bond prices and Yields are inversely related. If one rises, the other falls. If the price of the security (bond) increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then it follows that the yield to maturity will decrease.

You own an oil pipeline which will generate $2 million cash return over the coming year. The pipeline’s operating costs are negligible, and it is expected to last for a very long time. Unfortunately, the volume of oil shipped is declining, and cash flows are expected to decline by 4 % per year. The discount rate is 10 %. What is the PV of the pipeline’s cash flows if its cash flows are assumed to last forever?
Answer:
$14,285,714.29
Explanation:
we can use the discounted cash flow model formula for a perpetuity:
PV of infinite cash flows = cash flow in 1 year / (required rate of return - growth rate)
cash flow in 1 year = $2,000,000required rate of return = 10%growth rate = -4%PV of infinite cash flows = $2,000,000 / (10% + 4%) = $14,285,714.29
This formula is used to determine the present value of a firm's future cash flows.
Trey, Inc. reports a taxable loss of $140,000 for 2018. Its taxable incomes for the years 2015 through 2017 respectively were $25,000, $35,000, and $40,000. Trey has no temporary or permanent differences. Trey elects the carryback provision. Trey expects taxable income in future years and has a tax rate of 30% for all periods affected. What should Trey report as Net Loss on its 2018 income statement?
Answer:
$117500
Explanation:
Taxable loss = $140000 for 2018
Taxable incomes : $25000 for 2015, $35000 for 2016, $40000 for 2017
tax rate = 30%
Net loss on 2018 income statement can be offset by the taxes paid on taxable income for 2 years prior to 2018 ( i.e 2016 and 2017 )
first calculate taxes on taxable incomes for 2016 and 2017
$35000 * 30% = $10500
$40000 * 30% = $12000
hence taxable profit = 10500 + 12000 = $22500
Net loss to be reported on 2018 income statement
= $140000 - $22500 = $117500

A manager receives a request from an employee to take off a Wednesday for religious reasons. The manager did not know that this employee was particularly religious and does not believe that the leave is for religious reasons. The manager believes that the employee is going to use this day as a personal day off. Should the manager investigate the situation?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
There is no federal law that requires that a manager give an employee days off due to religious reasons. Therefore in this scenario, the manager should investigate the situation further. If the manager finds out that the employee is taking advantage of the manager's generosity and lying then they should get reprimanded for doing so. Otherwise, the employee can have their day off as they asked.
People take permission to be off duty for different reasons. I do not want the manager to investigate the situation. It is a No for me because I believe that as Human being, we have to respect all the religion.
U.S. law clearly stipulated that that employers should not discriminate on the basis of religion and must accommodate for religious needs of the employees.Forcing employees not to use or take an off days for religious holidays is said to be not advisable.

gdaniel is working in a job that pays $18,000 per year. He is considering a one-year automobile mechanics course that costs $1,000 for books and tuition. He would stop working for a year while he attends this course. Daniel estimates that this course will increase his income to $23,000 in each of the three years following completion of the course. At the end of those three years, Daniel plans to retire to a commune in Tucson, AZ. The current interest rate is 10 percent. Is it economically rational for Daniel to enroll in the course? Explain and justify your answer.
Answer:
It is not economically rational for Daniel to enroll in the course
Explanation:
Increase in income = $23,000 - $18,000 = $5,000
i = 10% = 0.1
NPV = -(18,000 + 1,000) + 5,000/(1.1)^1 + 5,000/(1.1)^2 + 5,000/(1.1)^3
NPV = -17,000 + (4545.45 + 4132.22 + 3756.74)
NPV = -17,000 + 12,434.41
NPV = -4,565.59
Conclusion: Since NPV is Negative. Therefore, it is not economically rational. So the answer is NO.
Fred wants to take out a loan. He can afford to make monthly payments of 100 dollars and wants to pay the loan off after exactly 20 years. What is the maximum amount that Fred can afford to borrow if the bank charges interest at an annual rate of 10 percent, compounded monthly
Answer:
$10,390.96
Explanation:
The formula for the principal amount is
P = A (1 - (1-r)^n / r)
From the given data, A = 100
r = 10 / 100 * 12 = 10 / 1200 = 0.0083
n= 20 * 12 = 240
Now substitute this data in the formula
P = 100 ( 1 - (1 + 0.0083)^-240 / 0.0083)
P = 100 ( 1 - (1/7.27016) / 0.0083)
P = 100 ( 1 - 0.13755 / 0.0083)
P = 100 ( 0.86245 / 0.0083)
P = 100 * 103.90964
P = $10,390.964
P = $10,390.96
The maximum amount that Fred can afford to borrow if the bank charges interest at an annual rate of 10 percent, compounded monthly is $10,390.96
