Kim's Bridal Shoppe has 11,400 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $48 per share. It also has 275 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $90 per share. There are 300 bonds outstanding that have a coupon rate of 6.7 percent paid semiannually. The bonds mature in 29 years, have a face value of $2,000, and sell at 108 percent of par. What is the capital structure weight of the common stock
Answer:
0.0203
Explanation:
Calculation for the capital structure weight of the common stock
First step is to calculate the Value of Common Stock
Value of Common Stock = 11,400(48)
Value of Common Stock= $547,200
Second step is to calculate the Value of Preferred Stock
Value of Preferred Stock = 275(90)
Value of Preferred Stock = $24,750
Third step is to calculate the Value of Debt
Value of Debt = 1.08(2,000)(300)
Value of Debt= $648,000
Last step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = 24,750/(547,200 + 24,750 + 648,000)
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0203
Therefore the capital structure weight of the common stock will be 0.0203

Annual Dividend Per Share = $500/1000 = $0.5 per share
A restaurant Soup4u uses 60 bags of tomatoes each month. The tomatoes are purchased from a supplier for a price of $80 per bag and an ordering cost of $20 per order. Soup4u's annual inventory holding cost percentage is 40%. Soup4u always uses economic order quantity for deciding how many tomato bags it should order. Which of the following will reduce their inventory to 1/3 of its current value without increasing their cost?
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
b) Increasing holding cost to 9 times its current value
c) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/3 of it current value
d) Increasing holding cost to 3 times its current value
Answer:
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
Explanation:
EOQ = √(2SD/H)
S = ordering cost = $20D = annual demand = 60 x 12 = 720 bagsH = annual holding cost = $80 x 40% = $32EOQ = √[(2 x $20 x 720) / $32] = 30
if you want to reduce inventory to 1/3 of its current value, then the order quantity should be 30 x 1/3 = 10 units per order
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
EOQ = √[(2 x $20/9 x 720) / $32] = 10 ✓
inventory is decreased to 1/3 of current level
Calvin and Carolyn Coleman purchased a home in San Francisco, California, for $375,000 on October 1, 2014. Calvin obtained a job in Portland, Oregon, and on December 1, 2015, the Colemans sold their home in San Francisco for $800,000. How much of the gain must the Colemans recognize?
Answer:
$133,333
Explanation:
General exclusion available = 500,000
Pro-rated exclusion available for 14 months out of 24 months = 500,000 * 14/24 = $291,667
Realized gain = $800,000 - $375,000 = $425,000
Recognized gain = 425,000 - 291,667 = $133,333
A coupon bond paying semiannual interest is reported as having an ask price of 122% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made one month ago and the coupon rate is 5%, what is the invoice price of the bond
Answer:
The correct answer is $1,224.12
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the calculation of the invoice price of the bond is as follows:
Invoice price = Clean price + accrued interest
here
Clean price
= 122% of $1,000
= $1,220
And, the accrued interest is
= ($1,000 × 0.05 ÷ 2) × (30 days ÷ 182 days)
= 4.12088
Now the invoice price is
= $1,220 + $4.12088
= $1,224.12
hence, the invoice price of the bond is $1,224.12

Crane Company incurs the following costs to produce 8500 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials $7140 Direct labor 9605 Variable overhead 10710 Fixed overhead 16200 An outside supplier has offered to sell Crane the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit. If Crane could avoid $3000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer, net income would increase (decrease) by $230. $(740). $(5465). $6230.
Answer: Net income would increase by $6,230
Explanation:
Cost if offer is not accepted and Crane produces inhouse;
= 7,140 + 9,605 + 10,710 + 16,200
= $43,655
Cost if Crane accepts offer;
Crane could avoid $3,000 of fixed overhead = 16,200 - 3,000 = $13,200
Purchase price = 2.85 * 8,500 units = $24,225
Total cost = 24,225 + 13,200
= $37,425
Difference = 43,655 - 37,425
= $6,230
Income would increase by $6,230.

Suppose the working-age population of a fictional economy falls into the following categories: 30 are retired; 45 are stay-at-home parents; 120 are employed full time; 40 are employed part time; 25 are unemployed but are actively looking for employment; 15 are unemployed and are not actively looking for employment. The official unemployment rate as calculated by the BLS would be
Answer:
The unemployment rate is 13.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the unemployment rate is as follows;
But before that following calculations need to be done
Labor Force is
= 120 + 40 + 25
= 185
And, the unemployed would be 25
Now the unemployment rate is
= unemployed ÷ Labor Force
= 25 ÷ 185
= 13.51%
hence, the unemployment rate is 13.51%
A physical count of supplies on hand at the end of May for Masters, Inc. indicated $1,253 of supplies on hand. The general ledger balance before any adjustment is $2,130. What is the adjusting entry for office supplies that should be recorded on May 31

bear a coupon of 6 percent, payable semiannually. The bond matures in 20 years and has a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bond sells at $955. The yield to maturity (YTM) is
Answer:
6.4022%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to maturity is as follows;
Here we applied the RATE formula
Given that
NPER = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30
PV = $955
FV = $1,000
The formula is shown below
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is
= 3.2011% × 2
= 6.4022%
According to the Coase theorem, private parties can solve the problem of externalities if a. the number of parties involved is sufficiently large. b. the cost of bargaining is small. c. property rights aren't clearly defined. d. the initial distribution of legal rights favors the person being adversely affected by the externality.
Answer:
b. the cost of bargaining is small.
Explanation:
The basic concepts behind the Coase Theorem is that conflicts can be solved regardless of the original rights and a solution that benefits all parties can be found as long as transaction costs (bargaining costs) are low or nonexistent, and the output of the negotiation process efficiently allocates resources. This theorem is useful when you are trying to find solutions to negative externalities.

Store A needs 2000 bags of fertilizer a year. Store A's annual holding costs are 30%. If Store A's order quantity is 40 cases and its lowest inventory level is 0 cases, what is its average inventory level (in cases)
Answer:
20
Explanation:
Calculation for average inventory level
Using this formula
Average inventory level=Store A's order quantity/2
Let plug in the formula
Average inventory level = 40 cases /2.
Average inventory level= 20
Therefore the Average inventory level will be 20
A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $16,950, had a salvage value of $4,200, and had a five-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,860 and its total useful life was increased from 5 years to 6 years. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the machine during each of the remaining years of its useful life:
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $2,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Purchase price= $16,950
Useful life= 5 years
Residual value= $4,200
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3.
Annual depreciation= (Total Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (16,950 - 4,200) / 5
Annual depreciation= $2,550
Accumulated depreciation= 2,550*3= $7,650
Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:
Depreciable value= 16,950 - 7,650= $9,300
Useful life= 3 years
Salvage value= $1,860
Annual depreciation= (9,300 - 1,860) / 3
Annual depreciation= $2,480
The following amounts were taken from the financial statements of Crane Company: 2017 2016 Total assets $790000 $900000 Net sales 680000 600000 Gross profit 300000 260000 Net income 54400 110000 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 50000 50000 Market price of common stock $40 $36 The profit margin ratio for 2017 is
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Profit Margin = Net income / Net sales
2017 Net income ⇒ $54,400
2017 Net Sales ⇒ $680,000
Profit Margin₂₀₁₇ = 54,400/680,000
= 0.08

Jose opened a Premier account at City National Bank of Iowa with a minimum required deposit of
$1000. This bank advertised a rate of 1/2% on their Premier account with interest compounded quarterly.
After 5 years, what is the amount in the account?
Answer:
$1,025.299
Explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^ n
Where Fv is the future value
Pv is the present value = $1000
r is interest rate = 1/2 % or 0.5% per year
n is five years
interest is compounded quarterly,
Interest per quarter = 0.5% /4 = 0.125% which is 0.00125
n will be 5 years x 4 quarters = 20 periods
Fv= $1000 x (1 +0.00125)^20
Fv =$1000 x(1.00125)^20
Fv= $1000 x 1.025299
Fv = $1,025.299
94. Averaging the deviations from the mean for a portfolio of securities will: A. compute the standard deviation. B. compute the variance. C. equal zero. D. equal the number of securities in the portfolio.
Answer: C. equal zero
Explanation:
The mean is average of the portfolio which means that some securities will be more than the mean and some will be less.
Some deviations will be positive, others will be negative.
When these deviations are added together, the negative deviations will cancel out the positive deviations which will lead to the average deviations being 0.
If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of 1000 and the lender will make a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%, or a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% what is the largest loan this buyer can afford
Answer:
The the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
Step 1: Calculations of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%
PV30 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 5 1/2% = 5.50% = 0.055
n = number of years = 30
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV30 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.055))^30) / 0.055)
PV30 = 1000 * 14.5337451711221
PV30 = 14,533.75
Step 2: Calculation of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%
PV20 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 4 1/2% = 4.50% = 0.045
n = number of years = 20
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV20 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.045))^20) / 0.045)
PV20 = 1000 * 13.0079364514537
PV20 = 13,007.94
Conclusion
Since 14,533.75 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% is greater than the 13,007.94 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%, it therefore implies that the the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
Left ventricular mass (LVM), determined from echocardiograms, is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease. The researchers are interested in assessing whether LVM changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after 4 years of follow-up. The sample mean of LVM change over the 4-year study period is 18.9 g and the sample standard deviation is 26.4 g. For answering the questions (a) and (b) below, assume that the sample variance of LVM change in this pilot study is the true variance of LVM change in the population.(a). If the expected increase in LVM is 10 g, what is the power of such a study if a two-sided test is to be used with α = 0.05? (b). Since this is a pilot study, the main question of interest is how many subjects would be needed to detect an increase of 10 g in mean LVM over 4 years using a two-sided test with α = 0.05 and power = 80%? Suppose the researchers also want to get an idea of the true population variance σ 2 of LVM change in children over a 4-year period based on the pilot data. (c). Perform a hypothesis test to assess whether σ 2 is significantly different from 300. Use both critical-value and p-value methods. (d). Find a 95% confidence interval (CI) of σ 2 . Is the result consistent with that of (c)? Justify your answer.

You need to turn $13,593 dollars into $18,359 dollars in 8 years. Assuming you make no extra deposits, what interest rate would you need from a bank in order to accomplish this
Answer: 3.83%
Explanation:
$13,593 has to accrue to $18,359.
13,593 * ( 1 + r)⁸ = 18,359
( 1 + r)⁸ = 18,359/ 13,593
(1 + r)⁸ = 1.35062
1 + r = ⁸√1.35062
1 + r = 1.0383
r = 1.0383 - 1
r = 3.83%
