In each case, choose the firm that you expect to have the higher asset turnover ratio. (Hint: think about the likely nature of each firm’s business model. For example, would the firm require a lot or a little capital? Would it strive for high sales or high profit margins?) (LO4-3) a. Economics Consulting Group or Home Depot b. Catalog Shopping Network or Gucci c. Electric Utility Co. or Standard Supermarkets
Answer:
Asset Turnover ratio = Net Sales/ Average Total Assets
a. Economics Consulting Group or Home Depot.
Home Depot has more physical assets than the Economic Consulting group which has its main assets as its employees which cannot be recorded as values in the balance sheet. ECG will therefore have more sales to assets and a higher Asset Turnover ratio.
b. Catalog Shopping Network or Gucci.
Catalog Shopping conducts its business mainly online or rather without using stores which means they will not hold as much physical inventory. This is different from Gucci which will hold inventory as well as have stores and the like. They will have more assets than Catalog Shopping Network which will give Catalog a higher Asset Turnover.
c. Electric Utility Co. or Standard Supermarkets.
Electric Utility Co. as an electric provider will have a high amount of assets as the nature of their business demands this. Supermarkets in comparison have less assets and so this will give them a higher Asset Turnover ratio.

Explanation:
Omar and Janet decide to revise their budget for Rings and Things. What suggestions about labor
costs would you make, if the goal is to improve the business's cash flow?
Answer:
Review labor costs downwards
Explanation:
Janet and Omar should consider revising their budget for labor downwards. In the current state, labor costs are $1000, which is approximately 57 percent of all costs. As a rule of thumb, labor costs should be between 25 to 35 percent of total costs. This implies that Janet and Omar's labor costs are very high in relation to the other costs.
Janet and Omar should aim for a profit. Ideally, a 25 to 30 percent profit is a good target for such a business. For this to happen, they need to cut down labor to between $300 to a maximum of $400.

a stock is currently priced at $65 per share and will pay a $4 dividend in one year. what must the stock sell for in one year to meet investors expecations of a 15% after tax return if dividends are taxed at 37% and there are no capital gains
Answer:
$72.23
Explanation:
Expected Return = [Dividend *(1- tax rate)] + [Capital gain] / Current stock price
Expected Return = [Dividend *(1- tax rate)] + [Price after 1 year - Current price] / Current stock price
15% = [$4*(1-0.37)]+[Price after 1 year -$65]/65
15% = [$4*0.63]+[Price after 1 year -$65]/65
15% * 65 = $2.52 + [ Price after 1 year -$65]
$9.75 = $2.52 + [Price after 1 year - $65]
Price after 1 year = $9.75 - $2.52 + $65
Price after 1 year = $72.23

A city is considering a plan to ease traffic congestion by offering to eliminate tolls on cars with 3 or more passengers in them. An
economic analysis is done on the plan. Which conclusion, if reached in this analysis, would weigh against adopting the plan?
A)
Reduced toll revenues would threaten public road maintenance budgets.
B)
Peak traffic times would be spread out over a larger portion of the day,
Typical travel speeds on the toll roads would increase 5% during rush
hours
D)
Average numbers of miles commuting would remain level, due to indirect
routes caused by carpooling
Answer:
A)
Reduced toll revenues would threaten public road maintenance budgets.
Explanation:
If cars will more than three people will not pay tall chargers, the city will collect fewer revenues from the toll stations as some cars will not pay. A significant decline in revenues that can affect road maintenance can influence the city to weigh against implementing that proposal.
Spreading the peak time traffic and increasing speeds is what the city hopes to achieve. The city would be happy if the average number of miles commuted remain the same. The only negative effect that could halt the implementation of the plan is reduced revenues.
Answer:A) reduce total revenues would threaten public road maintenance budgets.

Harry is a citizen and resident of Saudi Arabia. During the current year, Harry never visits the United States, nor does he hold a green card. However, he realized a gain on the sale of Extel Corporation stock, a corporation organized in the United States. The United States does NOT have an income tax treaty with Saudi Arabia. What is the Source of Income and how does the U.S. tax the income
Answer:
The source of income is the capital gain realized when Harry sold the stocks of Extel Corporation. Generally, nonresident aliens (like Harry) are subject to a 30% tax on all their US income sources. E.g. if Harry made a capital gain of $1,000 when he sold the stocks, he will need to pay $300 to the IRS.
Some exemptions apply to foreign students, resident aliens or people that work for foreign governments, but Harry doesn't fit in any of these categories.

Answer:
output falls faster than employment, and the ratio of output to workers falls.
Explanation:
When the economy expands, output will increase faster than employment. If the opposite happens, and the economy is at a recession, output will decrease first and then unemployment will increase. Unemployment increases as a result of the decrease in total output.
The ratio of output to worker falls because the same number of employees will produce a lower amount of total output.

a stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.35%. What is the risk free rate if the markert rate of return is 12.5%
Answer:
4.8%
Explanation:
Calculation for the risk free rate if the market rate of return is 12.5%
Using this formula
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta( Market rate -Risk-free rate)
Let plug in the formula
0.1635 =Risk-free rate of return + 1.5(0.125 -Risk free rate of return)
0.1635 =Risk-free rate of return + 0.1875 - 1.5(Risk-free rate of return)
0.1635 - 0.1875 =Risk-free rate of return - 1.5Risk-free rate of return
−0.024 = - (1-0.5 Risk-free rate of return)
−0.024 = - 0.5 Risk-free rate of return
Risk-free rate of return =0.024 / 0.5
Risk-free rate of return = 0.048
Risk-free rate of return = 0.048 * 100%
Risk-free rate of return = 4.8%
Therefore the risk free rate if the market rate of return is 12.5% is 4.8%

(a) 80 bonds with a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of 7.6%/year. These bonds have 11 years left to maturity and pay coupons on a semi‐annual basis. The YTM of these bonds is 8.8%/year. What is the total market value of these 80 bonds? (3 pts.) (b) 160 zero‐coupon bonds with a $1,000 face value, 9 years to maturity, and a YTM of 7.7%/year
Answer:
a) $73,320.80
b) $82,068.80
Explanation:
Current market value of bonds:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4.4%)²² = $387.78
PV of coupon payments = $38 x 13.91402(PV annuity factor, 4.4%, 22 periods) = $528.73
Market price = $916.51
$916.51 x 80 = $73,320.80
Current market value of zero coupon bonds:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7.7%)⁹ = $512.93
$512.93 x 160 = $82,068.80

Explanation:
Masterson, Inc., has 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $7. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $65 million, has a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 93 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $50 million, has a coupon rate of 4 percent, and sells for 105 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 8 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.20 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 24 percent. What is the company's WACC? (Do not round Intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 32.16.)
Answer:
WACC=9.26%
Explanation:
Calculation for the company's WACC
First step is to calculate the Total Market Value
Total Market Value = 8,000,000*68+ 65,000,000*93% + 50,000,000*105%
Total Market Value = 544,000,000+60,450,000+52,500,000
Total Market Value = $656,950,000
Second step is to calculate the % Value of Equity,% Value of First Bond and % Value of Second Bond
% Value of Equity =544,000,000/$656,950,000*100
% Value of Equity = 82.81%
% Value of First Bond = 60,450,000/$656,950,000*100
% Value of First Bond= 9.20%
% Value of Second Bond = 52,500,000/$656,950,000*100
% Value of Second Bond =7.99%
Third step is to calculate Ke Using this formula
Ke = Cost of Equity = Dividend/Market Value per share + Growth Rate
Let plug in the formula
Ke = 4.2/68 + 4.3%
Ke= 6.18% + 4.3%
Ke= 10.48%
Last step is to calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = % Value of Equity * Cost of Equity + % Value of Debt * Cost Of Debt (1- Tax Rate)
Let plug in the formula for
WACC= 82.81% * 10.48% + 9.20% * 5% (1-0.24) + 7.99%* 4%(1-0.25)
WACC= 8.67%+ 9.20% * 5%(0.76)+7.99%* 4%(0.76)
WACC= 8.67%+ 9.20% * 3.8%+7.99%* 3.04%
WACC=8.67%+0.35%+0.24%
WACC=9.26%
Therefore the company's WACC will be 9.26%

Answer: 8.45%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Holmes Company's currently has an outstanding bonds and has a 8% coupon and a 13% yield to maturity.
We are further told that Holmes believes it could issue new bonds at par that would provide a similar yield to maturity and that its marginal tax rate is 35%.
