Suppose that the average annual return on the Standard and Poor's 500 Index from 1969 to 2005 was 14.8 percent. The average annual T-bill yield during the same period was 5.6 percent. What was the market risk premium during these 10 years?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Market risk premium = 9.2%

Explanation:

The market risk premium is the difference between the market returns and the t bill yield. To calculate the market risk premium of this duration we will need to subtract the average annual t bill yield from the average annual return on the standard and poor's 500 index.

14.8-5.6=9.2

Suppose you buy lunch for $15.40 that includes a 8% sales tax. How much did the restaurant charge you for the lunch (excluding any tax) and how much does the restaurant owe for sales tax?a. $16.10 for lunch and $1.19 for sales tax.b. $14.81 for lunch and $1.29 for sales tax.c. $16.10 for lunch and $1.29 for sales tax.d. $14.91 for lunch and $1.19 for sales tax.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Based on the scenario in the question, the amount that the restaurant charge for the lunch excluding any tax will be calculated as:

= $15.40 × 100/(100 + 8)

= $15.40 × 100/108

= $1540/108

= $14.26

Sales tax will be:

= $15.40 × 8%

= $15.40 × 8/100

= $15.40 × 0.08

= $1.23

Garfield Industries is expanding its operations throughout the Southeast United States. Garfield anticipates that the expansion will increase sales by $1,000,000, and increase the costs of goods sold by $700,000. Depreciation expenses will rise by $50,000 and interest expense will increase by $150,000. The company’s tax rate will remain at 40 percent. If the company’s forecast is correct, how much will net income increase or decrease, as a result of the expansion?

Answers

Answer:

$60,000 increase

Explanation:

The company's additional earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are subjected to a 40% tax rate. The company's EBIT is:

EBIT = Sales - Cost+Depreciation\nEBIT = 1,000,000-700,000+50,000\nEBIT =\$350,000

The change in income is determined as the EBIT minus taxes and interest expense:

I = \$350,000*(1-0.4) -\$150,000\nI=\$60,000

Therefore, Garfield Industries experienced a $60,000 increase in its income  as a result of the expansion.

Final answer:

The net income will increase by $100,000 as a result of the expansion.

Explanation:

To calculate the net income increase or decrease, you need to subtract the increased costs of goods sold, depreciation expenses, and interest expense from the increased sales. The tax rate of 40 percent should be applied to the resulting amount to calculate the net income. So, the net income increase or decrease can be calculated as follows:

  1. Increased sales: $1,000,000
  2. Increased costs of goods sold: $700,000
  3. Depreciation expenses increase: $50,000
  4. Interest expense increase: $150,000

Net income increase or decrease = (Increased sales - Increased costs of goods sold - Depreciation expenses increase - Interest expense increase) * Tax rate

= ($1,000,000 - $700,000 - $50,000 - $150,000) * 0.40

= $100,000

Therefore, the net income will increase by $100,000 as a result of the expansion.

Cullumber Company purchases land for $185000 cash. Cullumber assumes $5200 in property taxes due on the land. The title and attorney fees totaled $3100. Cullumber has the land graded for $4100. They paid $25000 for paving of a parking lot. What amount does Cullumber record as the cost for the land?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

$197,400.

Explanation:

The cost of acquisition of an asset (land) is the non-depreciable costs associated with the acquisition of the land, because land is considered as an asset that does not depreciate. The costs that make up the cost of acquiring a land includes the normal, reasonable and necessary expenditures associated with the land to obtain it and get it ready for use. These include the agreed upon cash price, repair and reconditioning costs, title fees, legal fees, zoning fees and survey fees. On the there are costs of improvements made on the land and this is not part of acquisition costs because these improvements depreciate with time, and they are recorded in the cost of improvement account which takes depreciation into consideration. Example of these costs include parking lots, irrigation systems etc.

Hence in this case, all the expenditures except the cost of paving a parking lot are recorded as cost of acquisition of the land, and these include:

cost of purchase         = $185,000

property taxes             = $    5,200

title and attorney fees = $    3,100

cost of grading             = $    4,100

Total                              = $197,400
