Answer:
(a) The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
(b) The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.
Explanation:
The price of the coupon bond = 140 × PV(7.9%, 2) + 1000 × PV(7.9%, 2)
= 140 × (1-(1/1.079)^2)/0.079 + 1,000/1.079^2
= $1,108.93
If the coupons were withdrawn and sold as zeros individually, then the coupon payments could be sold separately on the basis of the zero maturity yield for maturities of one and two years.
[140/1.07] + [1,140/1.08^2] = $1,108.21.
The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.

Explanation:
Capital One produces a single product, which it sells for $8.00 per unit. Variable costs per unit equal $3.20. The company expects short-term fixed costs to be $7,200 for the coming month, at the projected sales level of 20,000 units. Management is considering several alternative actions designed to improve operating results. In conjunction with this, they have created a profit-planning (that is, a CVP) model, which can be used to evaluate different scenarios. What is Capital One's current break-even point in terms of number of units for the month? a) 1,500 units. b) 2,250 units. c) 4,000 units d) 3,330 units.
Answer:
Capital One's current break-even point in terms of number of units for the month is 1500 units
Explanation:
Break-even point in terms of number of units is the sales units required such that the company makes neither gain nor loss
break-even point in sales units=fixed costs/contribution margin per unit
fixed costs is $7,200
contribution margin=sales price per unit-variable cost per unit
sales price per unit is $8
variable cost per unit is $3.20
contribution margin=$8-$3.20=$4.80
break-even point=$7,200/$4.80=1,500 units
The correct option is A ,1500 units
Lauer Corporation provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 290 $ 990 5/5 Purchase 390 $ 1,090 8/10 Purchase 490 $ 1,190 10/15 Purchase 295 $ 1,240 During the year, Lauer sold 1,225 laptop computers. What was cost of goods sold using the FIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
Cost of Goods sold under FIFO is $1,363,500
Explanation:
The FIFO or First In First Out method is a method for closing inventory or Cost of goods sold valuation. It values the inventory based on the assumption that the units that are purchased first will be the ones to be sold first and the closing inventory consists of the most recently purchased inventory which is not sold yet.
The total units that are available for sale for the month are,
Total units available for sale = 290 + 390 + 490 + 295 = 1465 laptops
The units sold are 1225.
The closing inventory is thus = 1465 - 1225 = 240 laptops
Units sold from 10/15 Purchase = 295 - 240 = 55 units
As we are using FIFO, the 240 laptops left as closing inventory will be from the last purchase made on 10/15. Thus, the cost of goods sold will consist of the cost of,
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory (290 * 990) 287100
5/5 Purchase (390 * 1090) 425100
8/10 Purchase (490 * 1190) 583100
10/15 Purchase (55 * 1240) 68200
Total 1,363,500

Credit Salaries Expense $23,000
To close the account for the period.
4. Debit Income Statement (Retained Earnings) $2,000
Credit Dividends $2,000
To close the account for the period.
Explanation:
Closing entries are journal entries that are made to close temporary (periodic) accounts, revenue and expenses to the Income Statement. This paves the way for only permanent accounts to remain for the Balance Sheet. Temporary accounts are not carried forward to the next period unlike permanent accounts.
Closing entries transfer all revenue and expense accounts at the end of an accounting period to an income summary account, for the purpose of calculating the financial performance results (called gross profit and net income or loss) for the period.

Assume instead that Trio Company uses variable costing. Direct materials $15 per unit Direct labor $16 per unit Overhead costs for the year Variable overhead $4 per unit Fixed overhead $160,000 per year Units produced this year 20,000 units Units sold this year 14,000 units Ending finished goods inventory in units 6,000 units1. Compute the product cost per unit using variable costing. Cost per unit of finished goods using: Variable costing Cost per unit of finished goods 2. Determine the cost of ending finished goods inventory
Answer:
Trio Company
1. Using Variable Costing:
a. Product Cost per unit = $35 (see below)
b. Cost per unit of finished goods = $35 (see below)
2. Using variable cost, the cost of ending finished goods inventory = 6,000 * $35 = $210,000
b. Using total cost, the cost of ending finished goods inventory =
6,000 * $43 = $258,000

Seventy-Two Inc., a developer of radiology equipment, has stock outstanding as follows: 60,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $60 par and 300,000 shares of $20 par common. During its first four years of operations, the following amounts were distributed as dividends: first year, $51,000; second year, $105,000; third year, $81,000; fourth year, $120,000. Determine the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years. Round your answers to two decimal places. If no dividends are paid in a given year, enter "0".
Answer:
Year 1: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $51,000; Dividend paid to common stock = 0.
Year 2: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $93,000; Dividend paid to common stock = $12,000.
Year 3: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000; Dividend paid common stock = $9,000.
Year 4: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000; Dividend paid common stock = $48,000.
Explanation:
Year 1
Dividend distributed = $51,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $51,000
Carried forward cumulative preferred stock dividend = $72,000 - $51,000 = $21,000
Dividend paid to common stock = 0
Year 2
Dividend distributed = $105,000
Year 2 cumulative preferred stock dividend due = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = Due in year 2 + Carried down from year 1 = $72,000 + $21,000 = $93,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $93,000
Dividend paid to common stock = $105,000 - $93,000 = $12,000
Year 3
Dividend distributed = $81,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000
Dividend paid common stock = $81,000 - $72,000 = $9,000
Year 4
Dividend distributed = $120,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000
Dividend paid common stock = $120,000 - $72,000 = $48,000

Heavy Metal Corporation is expected to generate the following free cash flows over the next five years.
Year 1 2 3 4 5
FCF($million) 52.1 68.6 78.3 74.4 81.1
After then, the free cash flows are expected to grow at the industry average of 4% per year. Using the discounted free cash flow model and a weighted average cost of capital of 14%:
A. Estimate the enterprise value of Heavy Metal.
B. If Heavy Metal has no excess cash, debt of $304 million, and 41 million shares outstanding, estimate its share price.
Answer:
Enterprise value of Heavy Metal= $1,080.766
Share price = $18.945 per unit
Explanation:
The value of a firm is the present value of the free cash flow discounted at the weighted average cost of capital
Year PV
1 52.1 × 1.14^(-1) = 45.70175439
2 68.6 × 1.14^(-2) = 52.40073869
3 78.6 × 1.14^(-3) = 53.05276117
4 74.4× 1.14^(-4) = 44.05077264
5 81.1 × 1.14^(-5) = 42.12079868
Year and beyond
81.1 × 1.04/(0.14-0.04) = 843.44
Total value = 45.70+ 52.40+53.052 + 44.050 +42.120+ 843.44 = 1080.766826
Enterprise value of Heavy Metal= $1,080.766
Share price = Total value - Debt value / number of shares
= (1,080.766 - 304 )/ 41 million units= $18.945 per unit
Share price = $18.945 per unit
Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of March, Mendez Company had two jobs in process, Job 86 and Job 87, with the following accumulated cost information: Job 86 Job 87 Direct materials $4,800 $1,600 Direct labor 1,200 3,000 Applied overhead 888 2,220 Balance, March 1 $6,888 $6,820 During March, two more jobs (88 and 89) were started. The following direct materials and direct labor costs were added to the four jobs during the month of March: Job 86 Job 87 Job 88 Job 89 Direct materials $3,000 $7,000 $2,100 $1,500 Direct labor 800 6,000 900 500 At the end of March, Jobs 86, 87, and 89 were completed. Only Job 87 was sold. On March 1, the balance in Finished Goods was zero.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-
Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost
= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200
= 74%
2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:
Particulars Job 86 Job 87 Job 88 Job 89

Direct materials $3,000 $7,000 $2,100 $1,500
Direct labor $800 $6,000 $900 $500
Applied overhead
is 74% of direct labor $592 $4,440 $666 $370
Total $11,280 $24,260 $3,666 $2,370
3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-
Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666
Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89
= $11,280 + $2,370
= $13,650
4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-
Cost of goods sold is
= Job 87
= $24,260

The Perpetual FIFO=163000
The Periodic FIFO = 195600
The Perpetual LIFO =186800
The Periodic weighted average cost flow= 176021
The Perpetual moving average cost flow= 169669
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The first step to take is to compute average cost per unit
Unit Unit cost Total cost
Beginning inventory 2200 16 35200
Purchase 1 3200 24 76800
Purchase 2 4200 30 126000
The Total 9600 238000
Hence,
The Average cost per unit = 238000/9600 = 24.7917 per unit
Now, we calculate for the cost of goods sold which is given as :
The Periodic FIFO (35200+76800+1700*30) =163000
The Perpetual FIFO=163000
The Periodic LIFO (4200*30+2900*24)=195600
The Perpetual LIFO (76800+500*16+3400*30)=186800
The Periodic average (7100*24.7917)= 176021
The Perpetual (3700*20.7407+3400*27.3320)= 169669

Which of the following statements about portfolio diversifications are correct? Check all that apply. The risk of a portfolio declines as the number of stocks in the portfolio increases. By adding enough partially correlated stocks, risk can be completely eliminated. The higher the stocks’ correlation coefficients, the lower the portfolio’s risk. Stocks with perfectly negatively correlated returns do not exist.
Answer:
The risk of a portfolio declines as the number of stocks in the portfolio increases.
Explanation:
In simple words, diversification refers to the benefit of lesser risk that a manager gets by adding negatively or less correlates securities in the portfolio.
However, it is a fact that risk can only be minimized and cannot be eliminated completely. The risk that is specific to the business is called systematic risk and due to its unpredictability it cannot be diversified away.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is A.

Which of the following is a difference between leased employees and part-time employees? a. Unlike leased employees, part-time employees are usually covered by benefits from the organization. b. Unlike part-time employees, leased employees are regularly expected to work less than 40 hours a week. c. Unlike part-time employees, leased employees provide considerable scheduling flexibility to the organization that hires them. d. Unlike leased employees, part-time employees reduce the labor costs of an organization.
Answer:
D. Unlike leased employees, part-time employees reduce the labor costs of an organization.
Explanation:
Employee leasing is a contractual arrangement where a leasing company, is the official employer. And Employment responsibilities are shared between the leasing company and the business owner.
A part-time employee is a type of worker whose employment carries fewer hours per week than a full-time job. They work in shifts.
Part-time employees reduce the labor costs of an organization. They do not receive certain benefits as full-time employees.
A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular the firm sells, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,612,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. The contribution margin per composite unit is:______
Product Unit Sales Price Variable Cost Per Unit
Regular $20 $8
Ultra 24 4
a. 62,000 of A and 31,000 of B.
b. 31,000 of A and 62,000 of B.
c. 10,333 of A and 20,667 of B.
d. 31,000 of A and 31,000 of B.
e. 36,167 of A and 72,333 of B.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales proportion:
Regulas= 1/3= 0.33
Ultra= 2/3= 0.67
Fixed costs= $1,612,000.
Product Unit Sales Price Variable Cost Per Unit
Regular $20 $8
Ultra 24 4
To calculate the contribution margin per composite unit, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
weighted average selling price= (0.33*20) + (0.67*24)
weighted average selling price= $22.68
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.33*8) + (0.67*4)
weighted average unitary variable cost= $5.32
Weighted average contribution margin= 22.68 - 5.32
Weighted average contribution margin= $17.36
Now, we can calculate the break-even point for the company as a whole:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 1,612,000/17.36= 92,857
Finally, for each product:
Regular= 92,857*0.33= 30,643
Ultra= 92,857*0.67= 62,214
If your company’s product is mobile phones, do you think it would make better strategic sense to employ a multidomestic strategy, a transnational strategy, or a global strategy? Multiple Choice A transnational strategy would be appropriate since the same strategic theme could be employed, but country-to-country customization is necessary to accommodate consumer preferences in mobile phone features. A global strategy makes best strategic sense since country-to-country customization to fit local market conditions is necessary. A global strategy would be appropriate since most mobile phones are constructed to work globally and buyer needs across the world are relatively universal. A multidomestic strategy is called for since mobile phone features must be tailored to the specific market conditions and buyer preferences in each country market. A transnational strategy would make better strategic sense since it would be difficult to employ essentially the same strategic theme in all country markets.
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: A global strategy would be appropiate since most mobile phones are constructed to work globally and buyer needs across the world are relatively universal.
Explanation:
To begin with, in order to understand that using a global strategy is better and more suitable for the company first we need to understand that the company is working in the industry of mobile phones and therefore that is makes great sense to employ a global strategy that is focus on launching the products to the whole world or at least to the greater amount of countries that the company can because when it comes to mobile phones the needs of the consumers in every part tend to be the same and therefore it would no need much customization and the company will be able to release their product globally.

a. Calculate the current ratio
b. Calculate the average collection period.
c. Calculate the debt ratio.
d. Calculate the total asset turnover ratio.
e. Calculate the operating profit margin
f. Calculate the inventory turnover ratio
Answer:
a. current ratio = 1.98
b. average collection period = 32.85 days
c. debt ratio = 35,56%
d. total asset turnover ratio = 1.11 times
e. operating profit margin = 47,50%
f. inventory turnover ratio = 2 times
Explanation:
a. current ratio
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 3,075,000 / 1,550,000
= 1.98
b. average collection period.
Average collection period = Accounts Receivable / (Sales / 365)
= 900,000 / (10,000,000 / 365)
= 32.85 days
c. debt ratio.
Debt ratio = Interest bearing debt / Total Assets × 100
= (700,000+2,500,000)/ 9,000,000 × 100
= 35,56%
d. total asset turnover ratio.
Total asset turnover ratio = Sales / Total Assets
= 10,000,000 / 9,000,000
= 1.11 times
e. operating profit margin
Operating profit margin = Operating Profit / Sales × 100
= (4,550,000+200,000) / 10,000,000 × 100
= 47,50%
f. inventory turnover ratio
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of Sales / Inventory
= 3,000,000 / 1,500,000
= 2 times

Annual cost savings were: $20,000 for year 1; $16,000 for year 2; and $12,000 for year 3. The amount of the initial investment wasYear Present Value PV of an Annuity of 1 at 12% of 1 at 12%1 .893 .893 2 .797 1.6903 .712 2.402A. $40,232.B. $37,356.C. $40,956.D. $36,632.
Answer:
The correct option is C,$40,956
Explanation:
NPV=present value annual cost savings-initial investment
NPV is -$1800
present value of annual savings=$20,000/(1+12%)^1+$16,000/(1+12%)^2+$12,000/(1+12%)^3=$39,153.61
-$1800= $39,153.61 -initial investment
initial investment=$ 39,153.61+$1800=$40953.61
The correct option is the option C,$40,956 which is closest to $40953.61 ,the difference arose from rounding errors when the discount factors were rounded to to three decimal places instead of using the exact figures
