Answer:
19.27%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-51,400
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $16,910
IRR = 19.27%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Answer:
The Earnings after taxes will be $400,000
Explanation:
According to the data we have the following Long term financing funds of Permanent current assets = $1,610,000 and Fixed assets = $790,000 so the total of Long term financing funds= $ 2,400,000
Also, we have Termperory current assets = $3,200,000
Therefore, the Long term interest expenses = $2,400,000 * 15%
= $360,000
and the Short term interest expenses = $3,200,000* 10%
= $ 320,000
Hence, Total interest expenses=$360,000+$ 320,000=$680,000
So, Earnings before taxes=Earnings before interest and taxes-Interest expenses=$ 1,180,000- $ 680,000=$500,000
The tax rate is 20 percent, hence, taxes=$500,000*20%=$100,000
Therefore, The Earnings after taxes would be=Earnings before taxes-taxes
=$500,000-$100,000
=$400,000
a. Estimate your exposure b to the exchange risk.
b. Compute the variance of the dollar value of your property that is attributable to the exchange rate uncertainty.
c. Discuss how you can hedge your exchange risk exposure and also examine the consequences of hedging.
Answer and Explanation:
(A) E(P) = (0.6) × ($2800) + (0.4) × ($2250)
= $1680+$900
= $2,580
E(S) = (0.6) × (1.40)+(0.4) × (1.5)
= 0.84 + 0.60
= $1.44
Var(S) = (0.6)(1.40 - 1.44)² + (.4)(1.50 - 1.44)²
= .00096+.00144
= 0.0024.
Cov(P,S) = (0.6)(2800-2580)(1.4-1.44) + (0.4)(2250-2580)(1.5-1.44)
= -5.28-7.92
= -13.20
b = Cov(P,S)/Var(S)
= -13.20/.0024
= -£5,500.
there is a negative exposure. as the pound gets stronger/weaker against the dollar the dollar value of british holding goes higher.
(B) b²Var(S) = (-5500)²(.0024) = 72,600($)²
(C). i would Buy 5,500 forward to hedge exchange risk exposure. By doing this, i can eliminate the volatility of the dollar value of your British asset that is due to the volatility of the exchange rate
The exposure to exchange risk is the difference between the expected dollar value and the current dollar value due to changes in the economy and exchange rate. Variance of the dollar value of the property is calculated factoring in the probabilities of the economic scenarios. Hedging such as use of a forward contract provides certainty by eliminating exchange risk, but it can also limit potential profit.
The exposure to the exchange risk can be estimated by calculating the expected dollar value of the property. If the economy booms, the expected value will be £2,000 * $1.40 = $2800, and if it slows down, it will be £1,500 * $1.50 = $2250. The expected dollar value is then: 0.60 * $2800 + 0.40 * $2250 = $1680 + $900 = $2580. The exchange risk exposure b is the difference between the expected dollar value and the current dollar value of the property.
The variance of the dollar value of your property attributable to the exchange rate uncertainty can be computed as: 0.60 * ($2800 - $2580)² + 0.40 * ($2250 - $2580)².
To hedge your exchange risk exposure, you can enter into a forward contract to sell pounds for dollars at a predetermined rate. This will eliminate exchange rate risk but it could also limit your potential for profit if the pound appreciates more than expected against the dollar. Thus, hedging has the consequence of providing certainty while potentially sacrificing profit.

The company expects 70% of its sales to be credit sales and 30% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 25% in the month of sale, 67% in the month following the sale with the remainder being uncollectible and written off in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is:
a. $22,320.
b. $18,750.
c. $13,125.
d. $11,725.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
It is assumed that all the sales cash and credit up to the month of April will be adjusted before 31st may.
Any receivables remaining as on 31st May are related to the sales of May only.
May Sales = $25,000
Out of which Cash sales adjusted in the same month:
= 30% of May sales
= 30% × 25,000
=$7,500
Remaining credit sales:
= May sales - Cash sales
= $25,000 - $7,500
= $17,500
Out of which 25% i.e. $4,375 received in May only.
The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is:
= Remaining credit sales - Received 25% in May
= 17,500 - 4,375
= $13,125

In this case, Petulia is following the contrarian investment style. Those who follow this style, invest contrary to prevailing market trends (hence the name), by buying when other are selling, and selling when others are buying.
Petulia is a contrarian because instead of selling stock during the downward trend, she opted to buy stock instead, hoping for a rise in the market in the short, or in the long-term.

The basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Wells Fargo for 2015 is $4.57 and for 2014 is $4.54, calculated by subtracting preferred dividends from net income and dividing by average common shares.
The provided figures help us calculate the basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Wells Fargo for 2015 and 2014. EPS is computed by taking the net income, subtracting the preferred stock dividends, and then dividing by the average common shares outstanding.
For 2015, the calculation is as follows: ($25,116 million - $1,646 million) / 5,136.5 = $4.57 EPS.
Moreover, for 2014, we find: ($25,279 million - $1,458 million) / 5,237.2 = $4.54 EPS.
These EPS values help shareholders understand how much of a company's profit is attributable to each share of common stock.
