Andrej [43]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Income in 2016 = $50,000

Nominal income in 2017 = $70,000

CPI in 2016 = 100

CPI in 2017 = 110

Now,

Purchasing power in 2017 = [ CPI of 2017 ÷ CPI of 2016 ] × Income in 2016

or

Purchasing power =  [ 110 ÷ 100 ] × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = 1.1 × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = $55,000

FedEx Corp. stock ended the previous year at $113.39 per share. It paid a $0.40 per share dividend last year. It ended last year
Maslowich

Answer:

$4,110 and 12.08%

Explanation:

The computation of the dollar return and the percent return is shown below:

Dollar Return = (Ending Value − Beginning Value) + Income  earned

where,

Ending value is

= $126.69 × 300 shares

= $38,007

Beginning value is

= $113.39 × 300 shares

= $34,017

And, the income earned is

= Dividend per share paid × number of shares owed

= $0.40 × 300 shares

= $120

So, the dollar return is

= $38,007 - $34,017 + $120

= $4,110

And, the percentage return is

= (Dollar return ÷ Beginning value) × 100

= ($4,110 ÷ $34,017) × 100

= 12.08%

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A
inn [45]

Answer:

d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment

While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage

Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR

Therefore option d is correct

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

7.85%

Explanation:

Face value of bond =$2000

Price of current bond= face value× 106.5% = $2130

Term= 25 years×2= 50 period

Coupon rate= 7%×1/2= 3.5%

Coupon amount= coupon rate×face value = $2000×3.5/100

         =$70 for a period

YTM of bond= [coupon amount+ (maturity value-current price)/Term]/0.6×current price+0.4×maturity value]

YTM of bond= 6.487% per annum

Total market value of bond= 8,400bonds× $2130= $17,892,000

Market value of common stock= 275,000shares × 62.50= $18012500

Weight of common stock= 0.490009385

Weight of preferred stock= 0.023259294

WACC= Wd* Kd + Wc*Kc + Wp*Kp

= 0.486731321× 4.86525% +

0.490009385× 10.9624275+

0.023259294× 4.7368421%

=7.849%

= 7.85%(rounded)

Thus, WACC is 7.85%
