A U.S. corporation has purchased currency call options to hedge a 70,000 British pound payable. The premium is $.035, and the exercise price of the option is $1.30. If the spot rate at the time of maturity is $1.45, what is the total amount paid by the corporation if it acts rationally
Answer: $93450
Explanation:
The total amount paid by the corporation if it acts rationally will be calculated thus:
Dollars required to pay for 7000 pounds will be: = 70000 × $1.30 = $91000
Premium paid for buying option = 70000 × $0.035 = $2450
Amount of dollars paid = $91000 + $2450 = $93450
Therefore, the total amount paid by the corporation if it acts rationally is $93450.
For Team Andrews calculate both Market Capitalization and Earnings per Share (EPS) in the last round. Show calculations. In the next round, what would EPS be for Team Andrews be if Profits increased by 10% relative to this year and Andrews bought back 679,391 shares
Answer:
$14.32
Explanation:
Note: See below for attached picture for the question
Market Capitalization = Total outstanding shares * Last closing price of share
Market Capitalization = 2,679,391*$86.73
Market Capitalization = $232,383,581.43
Earning Per share = Profit after tax and Dividend / Total outstanding shares
Earning Per share = $26,054,226 / 2,679,391
Earning Per share = $9.72
The EPS when profits are increased by 10% ans shares are bought back is calculated as follows:
New profits = $26,054,226 + (10%*$26,054,226)
New profits = $26,054,226 + $2,605,422.60
New profits = $28,659,648.60
Total outstanding shares = 2,679,391 - 679,391
Total outstanding shares = 2,000,000
EPS = New profits / Total outstanding shares
EPS = $28,659,648.60/2,000,000
EPS = $14.32

Explanation:
Note: See organized question as attached below to aid understanding
Net income = Ending retained earnings + Dividends - Beginning retained earnings
Net income = $34,000 + $4,770 - $19,000
Net income = $19,770
Net income = Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Salaries and wages expense
$19,770 = $85,400 - Cost of goods sold - $10,270
Cost of goods sold = $85,400 - $19,770 - $10,270
Cost of goods sold = $55,360
Total liabilities and stockholders equity = Accounts payable + Common stock + Retained earnings
$69,000 = $5,600 + Common stock + $34,000
Common stock = $69,000 - $5,600 - $34,000
Common stock = $29,400
Missing amounts :
Common Stock = $29,400
Retained earnings = $34,000,
Cost of goods sold = $55,360
Net Income = $19,770
Net Income = $19,770
Net income
= Ending retained earnings + Dividends - Beginning retained earnings
= $34,000 + $4,770 - $19,000
= $19,770
Net income
= Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Salaries and wages expense
$19,770 = $85,400 - Cost of goods sold - $10,270
Cost of goods sold
= $85,400 - $19,770 - $10,270
= $55,360
Total liabilities and stockholders equity
= Accounts payable + Common stock + Retained earnings
$69,000 = $5,600 + Common stock + $34,000
= $69,000 - $5,600 - $34,000
= $29,400

In the given scenario, the price associated with the demand and supply of the products at Perggy's Bakes reflects the _____. a. equilibrium price b. skimmed price c. grounded price d. parity price
Answer:
A)equilibrium price
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about Perggy's Bakes, a bakery in New Orleans that exclusively sells its confectionery products online, makes its products only when it receives an order. The bakery produces the products as per the order and delivers to the customer's homes. It does not produce any excess products. In the given scenario, the price associated with the demand and supply of the products at Perggy's Bakes reflects the equilibrium price. The equilibrium price can be reffered to as only price in which both desires of consumers and that of producers agree, this can be explained as a situation where by quantity demanded is been equal to quantity supplied. The theory stressed that movement of market tends toward this price, it can also be regarded as "market-clearing price"
Are executive pay levels unreasonable? Why or why not
Answer:
In my opinion, some corporate salaries for high-ranking executives are excessively high for the functions that these people have in these companies and the impact that their work has on their economy and on the well-being of society as a whole.
It is that, although we live in a capitalist, free and democratic society in which everyone has the right to earn the sum of money that their employer is willing to pay, the truth is that in certain cases (or in most cases ) Said salaries are not justified based on the contributions that said executives make in their day-to-day work.
When Elle's Espresso Bar increased its price by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent.
When Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent.
The price elasticity of demand for Elle's Espresso Bar coffee is
nothing.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
40 / 10 = 4
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Expense A is a fixed cost; expense B is a variable cost. During the current year the activity level has increased, but is still within the relevant range. In terms of cost per unit of activity, we would expect that
Answer:
b) Expense B has decreased.
Explanation:
a) Expense A has remained unchanged.
b) Expense B has decreased.
c) Expense A has decreased.
d) Expense B has increased.
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Let assume fixed cost is 100 pounds when output is 10 units
Fixed cost per unit = fixed cost / output
100 / 10 = 10
Fixed cost per output when output increases to 20 units is
100 / 20 = 5
fixed cost per unit falls as output increases
A city government is planning to install a sewage line at a cost $10M with an estimated life of 50 years and an estimated salvage value of $2M. Assume that the line may be replaced at the same cost every 50 in perpetuity. Determine the capitalized cost if the interest rate is 9%Choose the most appropriate answer from the choices below.
A. $8.2M
B. $10.1M
C. $12M
D. None of these
Answer:
B. $10.1M
Explanation:
The capitalized cost of this investment is the present value of the cost that has just been incurred as well as the present of the replacement asset every 50 years.
The present value of cost incurred is the same as the amount incurred since it is stated in today's terms i.e $10M
The present value of replacement asset=replacement cost/50 year effective interest rate
In 50 years' time, the old sewage line would be sold for $2M and another bought of $10M, effectively replacement is $8M($10M-$2M)
the effective interest rate for 50 years=(1+9%)^50-1=7335.75%
capitalized cost of the sewage line=$10+$8/7335.75%
capitalized cost of the sewage line=$10.1M
Janitor Supply produces an industrial cleaning powder that requires 50 grams of material at $0.40 per gram and 0.15 direct labor hours at $14.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?
a. $7.00.
b. $8.50.
c. $11.50.
d. $7.50.
e. $25.00.
Answer:
e. $25
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The first step is to calculate the cost of direct materials
Cost of direct materials = Material × Per gram rate
= 50 × $0.40
= $20
The next step is to compute the direct labor cost
Direct labor cost
= Direct labor rate × Direct labor hours
= $14 × 0.15
= $2.1
Then,
Overhead per unit cost = Overhead labor cost × labor hours
= $18 × 0.15
= $2.7
Now, add up the above costs
Total standard cost for one unit = $20 + $2.1 + $2.7
= $24.8
= $25
You're trying to save to buy a new $200,000 Ferrari. You have $45,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 5.0 percent annual interest on its accounts. How long will it be before you have enough to buy the car
Answer:
n= 30.57 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value (FV)= $200,000
Present value (PV)= $45,000
Interest rate (i)= 5%
To calculate the number of years required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(200,000 / 45,000) / ln(1.05)
n= 30.57 years
You and two of your friends started a wholesale distribution business to distribute after-market products for cars and trucks. Two years ago, your business paid $220,500 for 5 acres of land for a potential new distribution center to be built in Ponca City, OK. Today, the market value of this land is $325,000. Your company has just analyzed a proposal to develop a new distribution center, and has determined that it will not be feasible to go forward with the proposed project. Therefore, your company will sell the land for potential use later.
Required:
When the proposed project was being analyzed, did the land represent a relevant cash flow?
Answer: No. The land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow.
Explanation:
When the proposed project was being analyzed, the land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow.
The land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow as it's a sunk cost and therefore not relevant. Also, in a situation whereby no project is done, then the company will keep the land which means it won't be sold, hence the current market value in this case isn't relevant.
A stock has an expected return of 11.85 percent, its beta is 1.24, and the expected return on the market is 10.2 percent. What must the risk-free rate be?
Answer:
3.325%
Explanation:
The computation of the risk free rate of return is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = risk free rate of return + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
11.85% = Risk Free Rate + ( 10.2% - Risk Free Rate) × 1.24
11.85% = Risk Free Rate + 12.648% - 1.24 × Risk Free Rate
0.24 × Risk Free Rate = 12.648 % - 11.85%
Risk Free Rate= (12.648 % - 11.85%) ÷ 0.24
= 3.325%
