A firm has a market value of equity of $50,000. It borrows $12,500 at 7%. If the unlevered cost of equity is 18%, what is the firm's cost of equity capital
Answer: 21.63%
Explanation:
The firm's cost of equity capital will be calculated thus:
Market value of assets = $50000
Debt = $12500
Cost of debt = 7%
Unlevered cost of equity = 18%
Then, we'll calculate equity which will be calculated as:
= Market value of assets - Debt
= $50000 - $12500
= $37500
Then, the cost of equity capital will be:
= Unlevered cost of equity + [(Debt/equity) x (Unlevered cost of equity - Cost of debt)]
= 18% + [($12500/$37500) x (18% - 7%)]
= 18% + [0.33 x 11%]
= 18% + 3.63%
= 21.63%

Campbell Entertainment sponsors rock concerts. The company is considering a contract to hire a band at a cost of $80,000 per concert.
Required:
a. What are the total band cost and the cost per person if concert attendance is 2,000, 3,000, 3, 500, or 4,000?
b. Is the cost of hiring the band a fixed or a variable cost?
Answer:
2,000 - $80,000
3,000 - $80,000
3, 500 - $80,000
4,000 - %80,000
$40
$26.67
$22.86
$20
fixed
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
the total band cost changes per concert and not per number of people attending the concert. Thus, the total band cost is constant per constant. It is fixed at $80,000 per concert regardless of the number of people at the concert
cost per person = total cost / concert attendance
$80,000 / 2,000 = $40
$80,000 / 3000 = $26.67
$80,000 / 3500 = $22.86
$80,000 / 4000 = $20
If a coupon bond has two years to maturity, a coupon rate of 10 %, a par value of $1000 , and a yield to maturity of 12 %, then the coupon bond will sell for $nothing . (Round your response to the nearest two decimal place) The price of a bond and its yield to maturity are ▼ positively related negatively related unrelated .
Answer:
The right solution is "$966.27".
Explanation:
Given values are:
Coupon rate,
= 10%
Par value,
= $1000
Yield of maturity,
= 12%
then,
Coupon will be:
= [tex]1000\times 10 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]1000\times 0.1[/tex]
= [tex]100[/tex] ($)
Now,
The present value of coupon will be:
= [tex]A\times \frac{(1-(1+r)^n)}{r}[/tex]
By putting the value, we get
= [tex]100\times \frac{1-(1.12)^{-2}}{0.12}[/tex]
= [tex]100\times \frac{1-0.7971}{0.12}[/tex]
= [tex]100\times \frac{0.2029}{0.12}[/tex]
= [tex]169.08[/tex] ($)
The present value of par value will be:
= [tex]\frac{1000}{(1+12 \ percent)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1000}{(1.12)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]797.19[/tex] ($)
hence,
The price of bond will be:
= [tex]Present \ value \ of \ coupon+Present \ value \ of \ par \ value[/tex]
= [tex]169.08+797.19[/tex]
= [tex]966.27[/tex] ($)

Explanation:
Park Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $2,002,000 and a coupon rate of 10 percent. The bonds mature in 5 years and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31. All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Park uses the effective-interest amortization method and does not use a premium account. Assume an annual market rate of interest of 8.5 percent.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record the interest payment on June 30 of this year.
3. What bonds payable amount will Park report on its June 30 balance sheet?
Answer:
1. Dr Cash $2,253,934
Cr Bonds Payable $2,253,934
2. Dr Interest Expense $96,919
Dr Bonds payable $3,181
Cr Cash $100,100
3. $2,250,753
Explanation:
1. Preparation of the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
January 1
Dr Cash $2,253,934
Cr Bonds Payable $2,253,934
(To record the issuance of the bonds)
2. Preparation of the journal entry to record the interest payment on June 30 of this year.
June 30
Dr Interest Expense $96,919
Dr Bonds payable $3,181
($100,100-$96,919)
Cr Cash $100,100
(To record the interest payment)
Workings:
$2,002,000 × 0.28689 = $574,354
$100,100* × 16.77902 = 1,679,580
Issue price = $2,253,934
Interest: $2,002,000 × .10 × 1/2 = $100,100
June 30:
Interest Expense: $2,253,934 × .0430 = $96,919
3. Calculation to determine what bonds payable amount will Park report on its June 30 balance sheet
Park Corporation Balance sheet (Partial) June 30
Long term Liabilities:
Bonds payable $2,250,753
($2,253,934-$3,181)
Therefore the bonds payable amount Park will report on its June 30 balance sheet is $2,250,753

Explanation:
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: guppy gummies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gummies decreases by 20%, the quantity of frizzles sold decreases by 22% and the quantity of cannies sold increases by 7%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and raskels, and then between guppy gummies and mookies. In the second column, determine if guppy gummies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with guppy gummies.
Relative to Guppy Gummies
Cross-Price Elasticity Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing
of Demand with Guppy Gummies
Raskels
Mookies
Answer:
Cost price elasticity of frizzles is 1.1.
Cost price elasticity of cannies is -0.35.
Hence cannies are complementing good for guppy gummies, the firm should sell the cannies with the guppy gummies.
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of frizzles:-
Cost price elasticity = Percentage change in the quantity of frizzles /
Percentage change in the price of guppy gummies.
[tex]= \frac{-22}{-20} \\\\=1.1[/tex]
Cost price elasticity of frizzles is 1.1. Since the cost price elasticity of demand for frizzles is positive, it is a substitute good for guppy gummies.
Cross price elasticity of cannies:-
Cost price elasticity = Percentage change in the quantity of cannies /
Percentage change in the price of guppy gummies.
[tex]= \frac{7}{-20} \\\\=-0.35[/tex]
Cost price elasticity of cannies is -0.35. Since the cost price elasticity of demand for frizzles is negative, it is a complement good for guppy gummies.
Hence cannies are complementing good for guppy gummies, the firm should sell the cannies with the guppy gummies.
Jones Company paid $1,200 with cash this year in January for six months rent. Therefore, it will be used up before the end of the year when the financials are prepared. Since it is short lived and will be used up during this accounting period, Jones Company decided to record it as an expense instead of an asset at the time of payment.
The journal entry to record this transaction when Jones Company pays the cash for the six months rent would be: ___________
Answer:

The journal entry to record this transaction when Jones Company pays the cash for the six months rent would be: ___________
Journal Entry:
January 2, 2020:
Debit Rent Expense $1,200
Credit Cash $1,200
Explanation:
However, the proper record should have been to debit Prepaid Expense and credit Cash so that as the rent is being consumed, perhaps on a monthly basis, the Rent Expense account is debited while the Prepaid Expense account is credited. However, the decision to record it as an expense at the time of payment will not affect the correct recording of the transaction during the accounting period.
g Required: 1. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) 2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 4. Compute the delivery cycle time. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.) 5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
Note The full question is attached as picture below
1. Throughput time = Process + Inspection + Move + Move time
Throughput time = 2.7 + 0.3 + 1.0 + 5.0
Throughput time = 9.0 days
2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time / Throughput time
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.7 / 9.0
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.30
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 30%
3. Non value added throughput time = 100% - 30%
Non value added throughput time = 70%
4. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0
Delivery cycle time = 23 days
5. New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time / Throughput time
New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.7 / 4
New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.675
New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 67.5%

What is the bond’s yield to maturity, current yield and capital gains yield?
Answer:
Renfro Corporation
The bond's yield to maturity is:
= 0.067
The bond's current yield is:
= 0.073
The bond's capital gains yield is:
= -0.006
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Maturity period of bonds = 10 years
Face value of the bonds = $1,000
Coupon rate = 8% paid semiannually
Price of the bonds = $1,100
Yield to maturity (YTM) = (C + {(FV - PV)/t})/{(FV + PV)/2}
where C = Coupon interest = $80 ($1,000 * 8%)
FV = Face value of the bonds
PV = Present value or price of the bonds
t = number of years
YTM = ($80 + {($1,000 - $1,100)/10})/{($1,000 + $1,100)/2}
= ($80 + {(-$100)/10})/{($2,100)/2}
= ($80 + $-10/$1,050
= $70/$1,050 = 0.06667
= 0.067
Current Yield = Annual interest/Price
= $80/$1,100
= 0.073
Capital gains yield = YTM - Current Yield
= 0.067 - 0.073
= -0.006

What is result driven
Answer:
Being result-driven means that you are driven by the outcome of your goal rather than the process itself. It means that you put in effort and energy in order to get the best results in the end. I think I'm a result-driven person since I strive to get high grades and also because I'm a perfectionist. All in all being result-driven means that you are an individual that strives for the end goal/result that comes from your exertion of effort in that subject area.

XYZ Corporation manufactures two models of office chairs, a standard and a deluxe model. The overhead costs for setups and components pools are $60,000 and $58,900, respectively. The following activity has been compiled: Number of Number of Number of Setups Components Direct Labor Hours Standard 11 6 295 Deluxe 29 13 205 Number of setups and number of components are identified as activity-cost drivers for overhead. Assuming an activity-based costing system is used, what is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model
Answer:
$83,800
Explanation:
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = Setup Overhead costs * Number of setups required for Deluxe model/Total Number of setups required
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = $60,000 * 29/40
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = $43,500
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = Component Overhead costs x Number of components required for Deluxe model/Total Number of components required
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = $58,900 * 13/19
Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = $40,300
Total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model = Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model + Setup cost assigned to Deluxe model = $43,500 + $40,300 = $83,800.
Twenty-five percent of the company's sales are for cash and 75% are on account. Collections for sales on account follow a stable pattern as follows: 50% of a month's credit sales are collected in the month of sale, 30% are collected in the month following sale, and 15% are collected in the second month following sale. The remainder are uncollectible. Given these data, cash collections for December should be:
Answer: $136,375
Explanation:
Going by the collections pattern of the company, there will be collections for 3 months in December being October, November and December.
December collections will be:
= (50% * December credit sales) + (30% * November Credit sales) + (15% * October credit sales) + December cash sales
December credit sales = 75% * 130,000 = $97,500
November credit sales = 75% * 170,000 = $127,500
October credit sales = 75% * 150,000 = $112,500
December collections are:
= (50% * 97,500) + (30% * 127,500) + (15% * 112,500) + (25% * 130,000)
= $136,375
Bobby bought 550 shares of stock at $61.25 per share. His broker charges 4% commission for round lots and 5% for odd lots. Calculate the total cost of the stock purchase.
Answer:
The total cost of the stock purchase was $ 35,371.87.
Explanation:
Since Bobby bought 550 shares of stock at $ 61.25 per share, and his broker charges 4% commission for round lots and 5% for odd lots, to calculate the total cost of the stock purchase the following calculation must be performed:
Odd lot = less than 100 shares, or sum not divisible by 100
550 = odd lot
(550 x 61.25) x 0.05 = X
33,687.5 x 0.05 = X
1,684.375 = X
33,687.5 + 1,684,375 = 35,371,875
Therefore, the total cost of the stock purchase was $ 35,371.87.
