Answer:

$7.47 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning retained earnings = $2.7 million

Net income earned = $7.6 million

Dividend paid to common stockholders = $2.83 million

Year-end 2008 balance in retained earnings for Z:

= Beginning retained earnings + Net Income - Dividend paid

= $2.7 million + $7.6 million - $2.83 million

= $7.47 million

sdas [7]

Answer:                        

Explanation:

1.                                     Jasper Company

                                      Income Statement

                                                                                         

            Sales (280000 x $12)                                  $3360000

            <u>Less: Cost of goods sold</u>

            Add: Direct Material                   $180000

            Add: Direct Labor                       $505000

            Add: Manufacturing Overhead  <u>$110000</u>

            Cost of goods sold                                      <u>($795000)</u>

            Gross Profit                                                  $ 2565000

           <u>Less: Expenses</u>

           Selling expense                           $437000

           Administrative expense              <u>$854000</u>

          Total expenses                                               <u>($1291000)</u>

          Net income                                                     <u> $1274000</u>

Percentage of sales for each line item

Sales = 100%

Cost of goods sold: \frac{795000}{3360000} x 100= 23.7%

Selling expense : \frac{437000}{3360000} x 100 = 13%

Administrative expense: \frac{854000}{3360000} x 100 = 25.4 %

2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.

Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.

Short Term Inc. has issued zero-coupon bonds that mature in one year. The returns from holding these bonds have a beta of 0.25.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

1. Current bonds price = $81.86.

2. Yield to maturity  = 22.16%.

3. 3.  Expected Return = 7.5%.

Explanation:

Required Rate = Rf + beta*MRP

          = 5% + 0.25*(15% - 5%)

       = 5% +0.25*10%

              = 5% + 2.5% = 7.5%

 Required Rate = 7.5%

  Expected Future Value = 70% x $100 + 30% x $60

       = (0.7*$100) + (0.3*$60)

       = $(70+18) = $88

    Expected Future Value = $88

1.  Current bonds price = 88/1.075 = $81.86

2.  Yield to maturity = 100/81.86 - 1 = 1.22159785-1 = 0.22159785 =   22.159785% = 22.16%

3.  Expected Return = 7.5%
