"Suppose that a worker in Lago can produce either 5 units of oats or 20 pounds of tuna per year, and a worker in Abuta can produce either 20 units of oats or 5 pounds of tuna per year. There are 20 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Lago produces and consumes 50 units of oats and 200 pounds of tuna per year while Abuta produces and consumes 200 units of oats and 50 pound of tuna per year. If trade were to occur, Lago would trade 60 pounds of tuna for 60 units of oats. If Lago now completely specializes in tuna production, how many pounds of tuna could it now consume along with the 60 units of imported oats?"

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

140 pounds of tuna

Explanation:

Lago

  • opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oat = 20 / 5 = 4 pounds of tuna
  • opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of tuna = 5 / 20 = 0.25 units of oat

Abuta

  • opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oat = 5 / 20 = 0.25 pounds of tuna
  • opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of tuna = 20 / 5 = 4 units of oat

Lago should produce tuna while Abuta should produce oat. If they specialize:

  • total production of tuna = 20 x 20 = 400 pounds
  • total production of oat = 20 x 20 = 400 units

Lago trades 60 pounds of tuna in exchange for 60 units of oat, so it will have 140 pounds of tuna and 60 units of oat in total.

The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 9.70 Direct labor $ 8.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.50 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $24.55. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

You are a U.S. investor who purchased British securities for 2,340 pounds one year ago when the British pound cost $1.52. No dividends were paid on the British securities in the past year. Your total return based on U.S. dollars was __________ if the value of the securities is now 2,440 pounds and the pound is worth $1.61.

Answers

Answer:

Total Return = 10.45%

Explanation:

To calculate the return, we must first determine the appreciation in the value of the securities in terms of the US dollar.

The initial investment in terms of US dollar was of,

Initial Investment in USD = Investment in Pounds * Exchange rate

Initial Investment in USD = 2340 * 1.52

Initial Investment in USD = $3556.8

The current value of the investment in terms of USD is,

Current value of investment in USD = 2440 * 1.61

Current value of investment in USD = $3928.4

The formula to calculate total return is,

Total Return = (Current Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value

So, the total return based on US dollars was:

Total return  = (3928.4 - 3556.8) / 3556.8

Total Return = 0.10447 or 10.447% rounded off to 10.45%

Final answer:

The total return for the U.S. investor in U.S. dollars is a profit of $371.60, calculated by assessing the change in the value of British securities from 2,340 to 2,440 pounds and considering the exchange rate shift from $1.52 to $1.61 per pound.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the total return for a U.S. investor based on the change in the value of British securities and exchange rates. The investor originally purchased British securities for 2,340 pounds at an exchange rate of $1.52 per pound. One year later, the securities are worth 2,440 pounds, and the exchange rate is $1.61 per pound. The initial U.S. dollar investment would have been 2,340 pounds × $1.52 = $3,556.80. The value of the securities in U.S. dollars after one year is now 2,440 pounds × $1.61 = $3,928.40.

This results in a profit of $3,928.40 - $3,556.80 = $371.60, which represents the investor's total return based on U.S. dollars.

Assuming the cost of direct materials used is $1,500,000, compute the total manufacturing costs using the information below.

Answers

Answer:

$2,960,000

Explanation:

Raw Material Used in production:

= Raw Material Inventory Beginning + Purchases of Raw Material - Raw Material Inventory Ending

= $30,000 + $1,500,000 - $60,000

= $1,470,000

Total Manufacturing Cost:

= Raw Material Used in production + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead applied to Work in process

= $1,470,000 + $690,000 + (225,000 + 75,000 + 500,000)

= $1,470,000 + $690,000 + $800,000

= $2,960,000

WACC Estimation

The table below gives the balance sheet for Travellers Inn Inc. (TII), a company that was formed by merging a number of regional motel chains.

Travellers Inn: December 31, 2012 (Millions of Dollars)
Cash $10 Accounts payable $10
Accounts receivable 20 Accruals 10
Inventories 20 Short-term debt 5
Current assets $50 Current liabilities $25
Net fixed assets 50 Long-term debt 30
Preferred stock 5
Common equity
Common stock $10
Retained earnings 30
Total common equity $40
Total assets $100 Total liabilities and equity $100
The following facts also apply to TII:

1. Short-term debt consists of bank loans that currently cost 8%, with interest payable quarterly. These loans are used to finance receivables and inventories on a seasonal basis, bank loans are zero in the off-season.

2. The long-term debt consists of 30-year, semiannual payment mortgage bonds with a coupon rate of 8%. Currently, these bonds provide a yield to investors of rd= 12%. If new bonds were sold, they would have a 12% yield to maturity.

3. TII's perpetual preferred stock has a $100 par value, pays a quarterly dividend of $2.50, and has a yield to investors of 11%. New perpetual preferred would have to provide the same yield to investors, and the company would incur a 3% flotation cost to sell it.

4. The company has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. P0 = $20, but the stock has recently traded in price the range from $17 to $23. D0 = $1 and EPS0 = $2. ROE based on average equity was 26% in 2008, but management expects to increase this return on equity to 31%; however, security analysts and investors generally are not aware of management's optimism in this regard.

5. Betas, as reported by security analysts, range from 1.3 to 1.7; the T-bond rate is 10%; and RPM is estimated by various brokerage houses to be in the range from 4.5% to 5.5%. Some brokerage house analysts reports forecast dividend growth rates in the range of 10% to 15% over the foreseeable future.

6. TII's financial vice president recently polled some pension fund investment managers who hold TII's securities regarding what minimum rate of return on TII's common would make them willing to buy the common rather than TII bonds, given that the bonds yielded 12%. The responses suggested a risk premium over TII bonds of 4 to 6 percentage points.

7. TII is in the 35% federal-plus-state tax bracket.

8. TII's principal investment banker predicts a decline in interest rates, with rd falling to 10% and the T-bond rate to 6%, although the bank acknowledges that an increase in the expected inflation rate could lead to an increase rather than a decrease in interest rates.

Assume that you were recently hired by TII as a financial analyst and that your boss, the treasurer, has asked you to estimate the company's WACC under the assumption that no new equity will be issued. Your cost of capital should be appropriate for use in evaluating projects that are in the same risk class as the assets TII now operates. Do not round intermediate steps. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(1) Cost of short-term debt after tax : 8% ( 1 – tax rate)

                                                                 = 8% ( 1 – 35%)

                                                                = 8% (65%)

                                                                = 5.2%

Market value of Short term debt ( in million $) = 5

(2) Cost of long-term debt after tax: 8% ( 1 – tax rate)

                                                 = 8% ( 1 – 35%)

                                                 = 8% (65%)

                                                 = 5.2%

Market value of long term debt ( in $ million) = ( par value of Debt * coupon rate) / Yield

                                                                                 = (30 * 8%) / 12%

                                                                                  = 2.4 / 12%

                                                                                  = 20

(3) Market price of preferred stock = annual Dividend / Yield to investor

                                                              = ($2.50*4) / 0.11

                                                              = $ 10 / 0.11

                                                              = $ 90.909

     

Cost of new preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current market price – floatation cost

                                                        = ($2.50*4) / $ 90.909 – ( 3% * $ 90.909)

                                                        = $ 10 / $ 90.909 – $ 2.727

                                                        = $ 10 / $ 88.182

                                                        = 0.1134

                                                        = 11.34%

Market value of Preferred stock ($ millions) = Par value of Preferred * Annual Dividend rate / Yield

                                                                              = 5 * ( $ 10 / $ 100) / 0.11

                                                                             = 5 * 0.1 / 0.11

                                                                             = 0.5 / 0.11

                                                                             = 4.545454

(4)  Market value of Common stock ($ millions) = No of common stock outstanding * Current market price

                                                                             = 4 * 20

                                                                             = 80

Retention ratio = (1 – dividend pay-out ratio)

                           = (1 – $1 / $ 2)

                          = (1 – 0.5)

                          = 0.5

                          = 50%

Growth rate = return on equity * retention ratio

                      = 26% * 0.5

                      = 13%

Cost of common stock (Alternative 1) = (Dividend for next year / Current market price) + growth rate

                                                                  = [1 ( 1+ 0.13) / 20 ] + 13%

                                                                  = [1 ( 1.13) / 20 ] + 13%

                                                                  = [1.13 / 20 ] + 13%

                                                                 = 5.65% + 13%

                                                                 = 18.65%

Cost of common stock (alternative 2) = Risk free rate + Beta (Market risk premium)

                                                                 = 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]

                                                                = 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]

                                                              = 17.5%

                     

Cost of Common stock (Alternative 3) = Yield on TII Bond + Average Risk premium

                                                                       = 12% + (4% + 6%) / 2

                                                                       = 12% + (10%) / 2

                                                                       = 12% + 5%

                                                                       = 17%

Cost of common stock = Highest of Alternative 1, Alternative 2 & Alternative 3

                                         = Highest of (18.65%, 17.5% and 17%)

                                        = 18.65%
