A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 5.0%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 11% 40% Bond fund (B) 6 20 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.16. Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio.
Answers
Answer:
portfolio invested in stocks = 73.20%
Portfolio invested in Bond = 26.80%
Expected return on optimal risky portfolio [ E(rp) ] = 9.66%
STD on Optimal Risky portfolio = 30.60%
Explanation:
Correlation between the funds return = 0.16
Determine the portfolio invested in each asset ( using excel )
expected risk premium on stock fund [ E(rps)] = 6%
Expected risk premium on Bond fund [ E(rpb) ] = 1%
std of stock rise premium ( бs) = 40%
std on bond rise premium ( бb) = 20%
correlation between funds [ rp(sb) ] = 0.16
Variance of stock fund ( бs^2 ) = 0.16
variance of bond fund ( бb^2 ) = 0.04
Using excel formula ( as seen in the attached screen shot )
First calculate the covariance of stock and Bond fund = 0.0128
portfolio invested in stocks = 73.20%
Portfolio invested in Bond = 26.80%
Expected return on optimal risky portfolio [ E(rp) ] = 9.66%
STD on Optimal Risky portfolio = 30.60%

2. The market price of Teal Mountain stock was $15 in 2017.
3. Cash dividends of $24,700 were paid, $ 6,500 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2017.
(a) Earnings per share $_____
(b) Price-earnings ratio _____ times
(c) Payout ratio _____ %
(d) Times interest earned _____ times
Answers
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding
But
Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2
= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2
= 34,500
Preferred stock dividend = 6,500
Therefore,
Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500
= $50,500 / 34,500
= $1.46
b. Price earnings ratio
= Market price per share / Earning per share
= $15 / $1.46
= 10.27 times
c. The payout ratio
= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income
= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000
= $18,200 / $57,00)
= 31.93%
d. Times interest
= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.
= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200
= $96,800 / $10,200
= 9.49 times

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: As this question contains tables, here I cannot insert table properly, so I have done it on excel spreadsheet and it is attached in the attachment below. Please refer to the attachment below for the minimum cost production plan.
Please refer to Attachment.
Priority should be given in the order mentioned below.
1. Maintain maximum capacity output even though demand is lower for the period because demand for the next period is higher and inventory holding costs are only $1 per unit per period.
2. Over time output for remaining demand, including demand for the following year, since it is less costly than subcontract production and inventory keeping costs are just $1 per unit per period.
3. There is no obligation for output to be subcontracted.
Bramble, Inc. has 11200 shares of 3%, $100 par value, noncumulative preferred stock and 224000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $65700 dividend in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020?
Answers
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Total dividends = 65,700
Common stock outstanding = 224,000 shares
Preferred dividend
= Number of shares × Par value 3%
= 11,200 × 100 × 3%
= $33,600
Dividends received by common stockholders
= (65,700 × 2) - (33,600 × 3)
= 131,400 - 100,800
= 30,600

Answer:
1.64 years
2.27 years

Explanation:
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90
Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years
B
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10
Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86
Amount recovered in year 3 = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76
Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years
C
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10
Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86
Amount recovered in year 3 = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24
Present value in year 4 = 4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60
Amount recovered in year 4 = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36
Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years
Sunland purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2020, for $158,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sunland can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answers
Answer:
No amount should be amortized since the license can be renewed indefinitely for successive 5-year terms.
Instead, the license should be tested for impairment annually to determine impairment loss.
Explanation:
An intangible asset that can be used indefinitely is treated like purchased Goodwill. It should never be amortized. Annually, the asset should be tested for impairment. The test is to compare the market value of the license with the book value.
Andrew paid $30 to buy a potato cannon, a cylinder that shoots potatoes hundreds of feet. He was willing to pay $45. When Andrew's friend Nick learns that Andrew bought a potato cannon, he asks Andrew if he will sell it for $60, and Andrew agrees, since he would have sold it for $45. Nick is thrilled, since he would have paid Andrew up to $80 for the cannon. Andrew is also delighted. Determine the consumer surplus from the original purchase and the additional surplus generated by the resale of the cannon.

7. You are considering the possibility of replacing an existing machine that has a book value of $500,000, a remaining depreciable life of five years, and a salvage value of $300,000. The replacement machine will cost $2 million and have a ten-year life. Assuming that you use straight-line depreciation and that neither machine will have any salvage value at the end of the next ten years, how much would you need to save each year to make the change (the tax rate is 40 percent)
Answers
Answer:
$221344.48
Explanation:
Book value of existing machine = $500,000
remaining depreciable life = 5 years
salvage value = $300,000
cost of replacement machine = $2 million
depreciable life = 10 years
Tax rate = 40 %
Difference in the cost of new machine and salvage value of existing machine
= 2,000,000 - 300,000 = $1,700,000
Calculate the depreciation tax benefit of new machine = ( 500,000 / 5 ) * 0.4 = $40,000
next calculate the present value of this tax benefit
= $40000,PVAF(1.10,5years)^5 ------- ( 1 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)5 = 3.7907)
Insert value into equation 1 (to calculate the present value of the tax benefit
= 40000*3.79078676 = $1,51,631.47 ( present value of tax benefit )
Determine the Annual depreciation tax advantage of the new machine
= (2,000,000/10)*0.40 = $80,000
Determine present value of this annuity
= $80,000,PVAF(1.10,10years)^10 ------ ( 2 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)^10 ) = 6.144567
Insert value into equation2 ( to calculate the present value of this annuity )
= 80000 * 6.144567 = $491565.36
Therefore the Net cost of the new machine will be
= $491565.36 - $151631.47 - $1,700,000 = $1,360,066
Annual savings on the new machine in 10 years
= 1,360,066 / 6.144567 = $221344.48

A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answers
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.

Answers
Answer:
c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Explanation:
An indirect message aims to soften bad news, to achieve this goal the message is transmitted through a soothing speech, where there is an explanation of the reasons for the bad news before reaching the fact, in order to cushion the impact that the message may cause. Indirect discourse is more accepted in the case of the transmission of bad news, as individuals generally tend to better understand the facts when they are explained through evidence.
Therefore, the letter c corresponds more adequately to an indirect speech.

Answers
Answer:
a) $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity = 39.46%
(c) Return On Assets = 22.43%
(d) Current Ratio = 1.86 times
(e) Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory Turnover = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio = 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow = $24,952
Explanation:
(a) Earnings per share
Net income = $248,808
Beginning number of shares = Beginning Common stock / Par value = $354,000 / $5 = 70,800
Ending number of shares = Ending Common stock / Par value = $342,200 / $5 = = 68,440
Average Number of Shares Outstanding = (Beginning number of shares + Ending number of shares) / 2 = (68,440 + 70,800) / 2 = 69,620
Earning Per Shares = Net Income/ Average Number of Shares Outstanding = $248,808 / 69,620 = $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity
Average Stockholders Equity = (Beginning Stockholders Equity + Ending Stockholders Equity) / 2 = ($549,172 + $712,012) / 2 = $630,592
Return on Stockholders Equity = Net Income / Average Stockholders Equity = $248,808 / $630,592 = 0.3946, or 39.46%
(c) Return on assets
Average total assets = (Ending total assets + Beginning total assets) / 2 = ($1,211,742 + 1,006,304) / 2 = $1,109,023
Return On Assets = Net Income / Average total assets = $248,808 / $1,109,023 = 0.2243, or 22.43%
(d) Current ratio
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = $445,922 / $240,130 = 1.86 times
(e) Accounts receivable turnover
Average Account Receivables = (Beginning Account Receivables + Ending Account Receivables) / 2 = ($139,004 + $121,304) / 2 = $130,154
Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Account Receivables = $2,178,400 / $130,154 = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period
Average collection period = 365 / Account Receivables turnover ratio = 365 days /16.74 = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory turnover
Average Inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2 = ($148,680 + $136,290) / 2 = $142,485
Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory = $1,207,000 / $142,485 = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory
Days in inventory = 365/ inventory turnover ratio = 365 days / 8.47 = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned
Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization / Interest expenses = Income from operations / Interest expenses = $381,400 / $25,960 = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = 2,178,400 / $1,109,023 = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio
Debt to Asset Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets = $499,730 / $1,211,742 = 0.4124, or 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow
Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures - Cash dividends = $259,600- $160,480 - $74,168 = $24,952
Priority Company, which applies overhead to production on the basis of machine hours, reported the following data for the period just ended: Actual units produced: 9,000 Actual variable overhead incurred: $54,400 Actual machine hours worked: 16,000 Standard variable overhead cost per machine hour: $3.50 If Priority estimates two hours to manufacture a completed unit, the company's variable-overhead efficiency variance is: Multiple Choice None of the answers is correct. $1,600 favorable. $7,000 favorable. $7,000 unfavorable. $1,600 unfavorable.
Answers
Answer:
The correct option is $7,000 favorable.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Standard hours for actual units produced = Actual units produced * Estimated number of hours to manufacture a completed unit = 9,000 * 2 = 18,000
Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual machine hours worked - Standard machine hours for actual units produced) * Standard variable overhead cost per machine hour = (16,000 - 18,000) * 3.50 = –$7,000
Since the calculated Variable-overhead efficiency variance is negative, that implies that it is favorable,
Therefore, the correct option is $7,000 favorable.

If the number of hours of labor per 1,000 gallons is 60 for strawberry, 70 for vanilla, and 100 for chocolate, compute the total cost of 1,000 gallons of each flavor using plantwide allocation.
Answers
Answer:
As you did not include the departmental allocation rate calculated or the question relating to it, I shall provide an allocation rate and you can relate this with your assignment.
Assume the allocation rate is $3.00
Labor, raw materials and overhead cost allocation hours are given in terms of 1,000 gallons already.
Cost of Strawberry:
= Direct labor + Raw materials + Overhead cost
= 766 + 816 + (60 hours * $3.00 allocation)
= 766 + 816 + 180
= $1,762
Cost of Vanilla:
= 841 + 516 + (70 * 3)
= 841 + 516 + 210
= $1,567
Cost of Chocolate:
= 1,141 + 616 + (100 * 3)
= 1,141 + 616 + 300
= $2,057

Econo Nation started 2015 with no national budget debt or surplus. By the end of 2015, it had a budget surplus of $304 million; in 2016, it had a budget deficit of $452 million; in 2017, it had a budget surplus of $109 million; and the amount of its budget deficit or surplus in 2018 is unknown. If at the end of 2018 Econo Nation’s national debt totaled $50 million, determine the deficit or surplus in 2018.
Answers
Answer:
$11 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deficit or surplus in 2018.
First step is to calculate the national budget debt using this formula
National budget debt= Budget surplus in 2008 + budget deficit in 2009 + budget surplus in 2010
Let plug in the formula
National budget debt= $304 million - $452 million + $109 million
National budget debt= - $39 million
Now let calculate the the deficit or surplus in 2018 using this formula
Deficit or surplus= National budget debt + national debt
Let plug in the formula
Deficit or surplus= -$39 million + $50 million
Deficit or surplus= $11 million
Therefore the deficit or surplus in 2018 is $11 million
