Answer:
cost of equity = 15.74 %
WACC = 12.33 %
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Equity (WACC) is the return that is required by providers of Long Term source of finance. WACC assumes the Pooling of Funds Principle when it comes to financing projects.
WACC = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd
Where,
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= 0.65
Ke = Cost of Equity
= D1 / P0 + g
= ($2.25 × 1.05)/ $22 + 0.05
= 15.74 %
D/V = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.35
Kd = Cost of Debt
= 8% × (1 - 0.25)
= 6 %
Therefore,
WACC = 0.65 × 15.74 % + 0.35 × 6 %
= 12.33 %

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.
a. 16.7%.
b. 20.0%.
c. 12.5%.
d. n/a.
Answer:

Explanation:
Calculation for Your total return based on U.S. dollars
Total return=(2,440 pounds*$1.61)- (2,340 pounds*$1.52)/ (2,340 pounds*$1.52)
Total return=$3,928.4-$3,556.8/$3,556.8
Total return=$371.60/$3,556.8
Total return=0.1045*100
Total return=10.45%
Therefore Your total return based on U.S. dollars was 10.45%

On June 1 of the current year, Cross Corp. issued $300,000 of 8% bonds payable at par with interest payment dates of April 1 and October 1. In its income statement for the current year ended December 31, what amount of interest expense should Cross report?
a. $14,000.
b. $6,000.
c. $12,000.
d. $8,000.
Answer: amount of interest expense Cross should report =a. $14,000.
Explanation:
interest expense = Principal( Face value) x Rate x period( Time)
Carrying value of the bond ( face value ) =$300,000
Rate= 8%
year ended on December, therefore The interest expense recorded would be for four months ( From June 1 to December 31 )
Therefore the Interest Expense = $300,000 x 8% x 7/12
= $300,000 x 0.08 x 7/12
= $168,000/12
$14,000
The amount of interest expense Cross should report at the current year end is $14,000

Explanation:
A five-year bond has a par value of 1000, a coupon of 3%, and a required yield of 5%. What should be the market price of this bond?
Answer:
The market price of the bond is $913.41
Explanation:
The coupon payment is annual, meaning it is being paid once a year.
N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 5
I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = 5 percent
PMT(coupon payment) = $30 [(3/100) x $1,000]
FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000
PV(present value or market value) = ?
Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)
N= 5; I/Y = 5%; PMT = $30; FV = $1,000; CPT PV = -$913.41
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $913.41
During the taking of its physical inventory on December 31, Barry's Bike Shop incorrectly counted its inventory as $222,138.00 instead of the correct amount of $184,409.00. The effect on the balance sheet and income statement would be:______.
a. assets overstated by $52,094.00; retained earnings understated by $52,094.00; and net income statement understated by $52,094.00.
b. assets overstated by $223,182.00; retained earnings understated by $171,088.00; and no effect on the income statement.
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $52,094.00.
d. assets and retained earnings overstated by $171,088.00; and net income understated by $223,182.00.
Answer:
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37,729.
Explanation:
since the ending inventory was overstated by $222,138 - $184,409 = $37,729, it means that cost of goods sold was understated by that same amount. Since COGS were less, that resulted in higher operating income and net income.
Merchandise inventory will be overstated by $37,729 (current asset), while retained earnings will also be overstated by $37,729 since net income increases retained earnings.
A stock just paid an annual dividend of $1.8. The dividend is expected to grow by 8% per year for the next 3 years. The growth rate of dividends will then fall steadily (linearly) from 8% after 3 years to 5% in year 6. The required rate of return is 12%.
1. What is the current stock price if the dividend growth rate will stay 0.05 (5%) forever after 6 years?
2. In 6 years, the P/E ratio is expected to be 23 and the payout ratio to be 80%. What is the current stock price when using the P/E ratio?
Answer:
1.
The current stock price is $28.71
2.
The current stock price is $149.15
Explanation:
1.
We need to calculate the present value of the dividends with each growth
First calculate the dividend each year
Year _________________________ Dividend
1 _____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^1__________ $1.9440
2_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^2__________ $1.1664
3_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^3__________ $2.2675
4_____( $2.2675 x ( 1 + 7% )________ $2.4262
5_____( $2.4262 x ( 1 + 6% )________ $2.5718
6_____( $2.5718 x ( 1 + 5% )_________ $2.7004
Calculate the present value of each years dividend
Year _________________________ present value
1 _____( $1.9440 / ( 1 + 12% )^1 __________ $2.1773
2_____$1.1664 / ( 1 + 12% )^2___________ $0.9298
3_____$2.2675 / ( 1 + 12% )^3___________$0.7118
4_____$2.4262 / ( 1 + 12% )^4___________$1.5419
5_____$2.5718 / ( 1 + 12% )^5___________ $1.4593
6_____$2.7004 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5_$21.8897
Total _____________________________ $28.7098
Hence priec of the stock is $28.71
2.
First calculate dividend of Year 6
Dividend = EPS x Payout ratio = 23 x 80% = $18.40
Present value = $18.4 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5 = $149.15

Last year, Big W Company reported earnings per share of $2.70 when its stock was selling for $40.50. If its earnings this year increase by 10% and the P/E ratio remains constant, what will be the price of its stock?
Answer: $44.55
Explanation:
P/E ratio last year = Market price / Earnings per share
= 40.50/2.70
= 15
PE ratio remains constant.
Earnings increase by 10% = 2.70 * 1.10 = $2.97
15 = Market Price / 2.97
Market Price = 15 * 2.97
= $44.55
In an effort to create a healthcare safety net, the government requires employers to provide healthcare coverage to all employees. What impact will this increased coverage have on the supply of hospital beds in the short run?
a. It will decrease the supply
b. It will not affect the supply.

Because price and quantity supplied are directly related, we would expect the sign of the price elasticity of supply to be:_________
Answer:
Positive
Explanation:
Price elasticity is the measure to assess the responsiveness of the supply of a good or service after changing the price of the good or service.
According to basic principles of economics, the price and supply of good or services are directly proportional, it means that if the price increases the supply of good increases and vice versa. The sign of the price elasticity will be positive because they are directly related.
Form example
At Price $5 supply is 200 units
At price $6 supply 250 units
Calculate the change in price and change in supply as well.
Cange in price = ($6 - $5) / 5 = 0.2 = 20%
Cange in supply = 250 units - 200 units = 50 units / 200 unit = 0.25 = 25%
Price elasticity of supply = Change in supply / Change in price
Price elasticity of supply = 25% / 20%
Price elasticity of supply = 1.25
Hence, the sign is positive
