The Crestar Company reported net income of $112,000 on 20,000 average outstanding common shares. Preferred dividends total $12,000. On the most recent trading day, the preferred shares sold at $50 and the common shares sold at $95. What is this company's current price-earnings ratio?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Price earnings ratio = 19 times.

Explanation:

Price earning ratio is calculated as for the common equity, as the earnings on preference share is fixed.

Accordingly, the earnings for equity = Net income - preference dividend = $112,000 - $12,000 = $100,000

Number of shares outstanding = 20,000

Earnings per share = $100,000/20,000 = $5 per share.

Selling price of the share = $95

Thus, price earnings ratio = $95/$5 = 19 times.

This reflects that the 19 times of earnings is the price of share.

B. "Report any differences on the enclosed statement directly to our auditors; no reply is necessary if this amount agrees with your records"
C. "If you do not report any differences with 15 days, it will be assumed that this statement is correct"
D. "The following invoices have been selected for confirmation and represent amounts that are overdue"

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": "If you do not report any differences with 15 days, it will be assumed that this statement is correct".

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable, or AR, is an accounting term used to refer to the money that is owed to a company by its customers. The customers, who may be individuals or corporations, are the debtors since they owe money for the goods or services provided by the company. When the product is sold in credit the company sets a number of days so that the customer can pay the bill amount. The term usually is 30, 60 or 90 days.

In that sense, and auditor may find 15 days suitable for a debtor for report changes in a statement, otherwise, it is considered as correct.

"Audits may be characterized as (a) financial statement audits, (b) compliance audits, or (c) operational audits"

Answers

Answer:

Audit is an independent examination of records,financial statements or process in order to give report to the party that has commissioned the audit

Explanation:

Audit can be of the three types highlighted in the question.

Audit of financial statements involves an external auditor examining the financial statements of clients i.e the income statement,statement of financial position.the cash flow statement as well statement of changes in equity e.t.c with a view to expressing an opinion on whether the financial statements show a true and fair view of the performance of the organisation audited and sometimes whether they were prepared in line with generally accepted accounting standards such as US GAAP.

Compliance audit is simply to find out whether the person audited has conformed with certain laid down policies and procedures such as the policies to follow in granting credit facilities to bank customers.

Process audit is about examining a process to see if the steps taken by the person carrying the tasks are logical and to find out areas for improvement in order to cut down time and resources used.

In an efficient market, professional portfolio management can offer all of the following benefits except which of the following? A. A superior risk-return trade-off
B. Low-cost diversification
C. A targeted risk level
D. Low-cost record keeping

Answers

Answer:

A. A superior risk-return trade-off

Explanation:

In a normal and efficient market a professional portfolio management service is able to offer  Low-cost diversification, A targeted risk level, and even a Low-cost record keeping. What they cannot offer is a superior risk-return trade-off, this is because risk-return holds a very correlated trade-off in which the higher amount of risk your portfolio holds the higher returns you can get from it, but this does not get rid of the risk which can cause you to lose all of your money. Therefore "superior" is unnachievable.

A stock is selling for $41.60. The strike price on a call, maturing in 6 months, is $45. The possible stock prices at the end of 6 months are $35.00 and $49.00. Interest rates are 5.0%. Given an underpriced option, what are the short sale proceeds in an arbitrage strategy

Answers

Answer:

Possible outcome of stock price at end of 6 months (0.5 years)

Outcome 1:

Stock price = 35

Strike price = 45

Payoff call = max{ST - K,0} = max{35-45,0} = 0

Present value =

PV = 0/(1+5%)^0.5 = 0

Outcome 2:

Stock price = 49

Strike price = 45

Payoff call = max{ST - K,0} = max{49-45,0} = 4

Present value =

PV = 4/(1+5%)^0.5 = 3.903

Probability of both outcomes = 0.5

Value of call option = 0.5*0 + 0.5*3.903 = 1.95

Short sale arbitrage opportunity:

Short the stock and buy a call option. Invest the proceeds at 5% for 6 months:

Short stock = +41.6

long call = -1.95

Proceeds = 41.6 - 1.95 = 39.65

Amount after 6 months = 39.65*(1+5%)^0.5 = 40.629

Case 1:

Stock price = 35

Payoff from long call = 0

Buy the stock at market price and close the short stock position = -35

Total payoff = 40.629 - 35 = 5.629

Case 2:

Stock price = 49

Payoff from long call = 49 - 45 = 4

Buy the stock from market price and close the short stock position = -49

Total payoff = 40.629 + 4 - 49 = -4.3708

Present value of payoff from both cases = (0.5*5.629 + 0.5*(-4.3708))/(1+5%)^0.5

= 1.2581/1.0246 = 1.2277

Arbitrage payoff = 1.2277

Answer:

The short sale proceeds in an arbitrage strategy is 1.2277

Explanation:

From the question given,

The  Possible outcome of stock price at end of 6 months (0.5 years)

The Outcome  is:

The Stock price = 35

The Strike price = 45

The Payoff call = max(ST - K,0) = max(35-45,0) = 0

The Present value = PV = 0/(1+5%)^0.5 = 0

The  possible Outcome 2:

The Stock price = 49

The Strike price = 45

The Payoff call = max{ST - K,0} = max{49-45,0} = 4

The Present value =

PV = 4/(1+5%)^0.5 = 3.903

Then,

The Probability of both outcomes = 0.5

Value of call option = 0.5*0 + 0.5 x 3.903 = 1.95

Therefore, the Short sale arbitrage opportunity is:

The Short the stock and buy a call option.

Invest the proceeds at 5% for 6 months:

Short stock = +41.6

long call = -1.95

Proceeds = 41.6 - 1.95 = 39.65

Amount after 6 months = 39.65*(1+5%)^0.5 = 40.629

The Case 1:

Stock price = 35

Payoff from long call = 0

Buy the stock at market price and close the short stock position = -35

The Total payoff = 40.629 - 35 = 5.629

For Case 2:

Stock price = 49

Payoff from long call = 49 - 45 = 4

Buy the stock from market price and close the short stock position = -49

Total payoff = 40.629 + 4 - 49 = -4.3708

The Present value of payoff from both cases = (0.5*5.629 + 0.5*(-4.3708))/(1+5%)^0.5

= 1.2581/1.0246 = 1.2277

Then the Arbitrage payoff = 1.2277
