Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The gross margin is

Gross margin = (Sales revenues - Cost of sales) ÷ (Sales revenues) × 100

= ($10.7 million - $5.9 million) ÷ ($10.7 million) × 100

= 45%

b. The local operating margin is

= (Operating income ÷ Sales) × 100

where,

Operating income is

= (Sales - cost of sales - selling, general & administrative expenses - research & development - Depreciation & Amortization) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= ($10.7 million - $5.9 million - $0.55 million - $1.2 million - $1.4 million) ÷ ($10.7 million) × 100

= ($1.65 million)  ÷ ($10.7 million) × 100

= 15.42%

c. Net profit margin

= (Net profit ÷ Sales) × 100

where,

= (Sales - cost of sales - selling, general & administrative expenses - research & development - Depreciation & Amortization) × (1 - tax rate) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= ($10.7 million - $5.9 million - $0.55 million - $1.2 million - $1.4 million) × (1 - 0.35) ÷ ($10.7 million) × 100

= ($1.0725 million)  ÷ ($10.7 million) × 100

= 10.02%

In 1880 five aboriginal trackers were each promised the equivalent of 50 Australian dollars for helping to capture the notorious outlaw Ned Kelley. In 1998 the granddaughters of two of the trackers claimed that this reward had not been paid. The prime minister stated that if this was true, the government would be happy to pay the $50. However, the granddaughters also claimed that they were entitled to compound interest.A. How much was each entitled to if the interest rate was 3%?B. How much was each entitled to if the interest rate was 6%?

Answers

Answer:

A. $1,635

B. $48,424

Explanation:

Using the formulae P (1+r)^t, where P= $50; the principal, r= 0.03 or 3%; the interest rate, and t= 118 (1998-1880).

Hence, at 3% each would be entitled

=50 (1+0.03)^118

=50 (1.03)^118

= $1,635

At 6% each would be entitled

= 50 (1+06)^118

= 50 (1.06)^118

= $48,424

Therefore, since the granddaughters also claimed that they were entitled to compound interest, they would be entitled $1,635 at 3% interest rate and $48,424 if the interest rate was 6%.

Cooley Company's stock has a beta of 1.40, the risk-free rate is 25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. What is the firm's required rate of return

Answers

Answer: 12.2%

Explanation:

Given the variables available, the required rate of return can be computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;

Required Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( Market risk premium)

Required return = 4.25% + 1.4 * 5.5%

Required return = 4.25% + 7.7%

Required return = 12.2%

Note; The actual question says the Risk-free rate is 4.25%.

true false greater than 11 percent a bond with an $100 annual interest payment with five years to maturity would sell for a premium if interest rates were below 9 percent

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Since annual interest payment, coupon payment, is $100, it shows that the face value of the bond is $1,000, effectively the coupon rate is 10%($100/$1000) whereas the discount rate which is the yield to maturity with which to present value the future cash flows is below 9%, and when coupon rate is greater than the yield, the bond sells at a premium to its face value.

Since the coupon rate is higher it is safe to conclude that the bond would sell at a premium

What kind of good is It? Determine whether each of the following goods is a private good, a public good, a common resource, or a club good. Private Good Public Good Common Resource Club Good
A cabana along beach that is open to the public
A new sUV that you use to drive your friends around town
A large, beautiful fountain in a town square

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Private Goods are those goods that exclusive and excludable. This means that people can be prevented from using it by the owners if the people who want to use it don't pay for it or reach an agreement with the owner.

A Public Good on the other hand is provided to every member of the public for use. They are non-excludable meaning that people can use them without having to pay a fee.

Common Resources are a mixture of both man-made and natural resources. As such, even though it is open to the public, it's use can be restricted by certain requirements such as payment.

Classifying the above,

A. Common Resource.

The Cabana is a common Resource because it is open to all members of the public and is a man-made resource on the beach which is a public good. However, one must pay to use it as well.

B. Private Good.

The SUV is your own personal property and as such is a private good whose use you can restrict from people making it exclusive and excludable.

C. Public Good.

The fountain is for everyone and no one has more right to it than others. Neither do they have to pay to view it. This makes it a Public good.

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.5 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.7 million to build, and the site requires $920,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project

Answers

Answer:

$33,120,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project

Using this formula

Proper Cash Flow Amount = (Expected Cost of Selling + Cost of Building Manufacturing Plant + Cost of Grading)

Let plug in the formula

Proper Cash Flow Amount = ($10,500,000 + $21,700,000 + $920,000)

Proper Cash Flow Amount = $33,120,000

Therefore the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project will be $33,120,000

All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions. B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information. C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning. D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties.
