Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the information above, cost of goods sold and the gross profit is calculated as;

Cost of goods sold for the company during 2019

= Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

= Beginning inventory + (Purchases - Purchase return) - Ending inventory

= $100,000 + ($750,000 - $0) - $120,000

= $100,000 + $750,000 - $120,000

= $730,000

Gross profit for the company during 2019

= Net Sales - Cost of goods sold

= (Gross sales - Sales return and allowances) - Cost of goods sold

= ($2,000,000 - $50,000) - $730,000

= $1,950,000 - $730,000

= $1,220,000

Sam's business will cost $49,500 to set up and run for the first year. Sam then expects an annual operational expense total of $

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Within 2 years

Explanation:

1st year of Sam's business:

Operational expense = $30,500

Profit = $45,000

Business set up costs = $49,500

Overall business profit (Loss) = $(4,500)

2nd Year of Sam's business:

Since the profit will be increased by 5.5%, the new profit after operational expenses will be $45,000 + $(45,000 x 5.5%) = $47,475

Therefore, the overall profit = Last year's loss + This year's profit = $(-4,500+47,475) = $42,975

Therefore, he can achieve the overall profit within 2 years' of operation.

A stock has an expected return of 11 percent, its beta is 1.20, and the risk-free rate is 4.4 percent. What must the expected re

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Expected market return = 9.8%

Explanation:

The expected return on the market can be worked out using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.

<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta. </em>

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate)- 4.4%

β= Beta - 1.20

Rm= Return on market.- ?

Applying this model, we have

11%= 4.4%+ (R-4.4%)×1.20

0.11-0.044= 1.20×(R-0.04)

0.07 = 1.20R-0.048

Collect like terms

0.07+0.048 = 1.2R

Divide both sides by 1.20

R= (0.07+0.048)/1.20

R=9.83%

Expected market return = 9.8%

Bond j has a coupon rate of 5 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 11 percent. both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make sem

aleksley [76]

To find the change in the price of the bonds, first need to find the price of individual Bond.

Bond Price is directly related to the change in the YTM of the bond. If the YTM rises by 2%, the price of the bond will fall.

Bond J :

(WHEN YTM IS 8%)

Coupon Rate: 5%

Coupon Amount (PMT): $1,000 * 5% = $50/2 = $25 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 13*2 = 26

YTM (rate) = 8%/2 = 4%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV0) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P0 =pv(4%,26,-25,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $760.26

(WHEN YTM RISES BY 2%, NEW YTM IS 10%)

Coupon Amount (PMT): $25 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 26

YTM (rate) = 10%/2 = 5%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV1) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P1 =pv(5%,26,-25,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $640.62

CHANGE IN THE BOND PRICE OF BOND J DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE YTM

%change = (P1 – P0)/P0

%change = ($640.62 - $760.26)/$760.26

%change = -18.68%

Therefore, with the increase in 2% YTM of BOND J, the price falls by 18.68%

Bond K :

(WHEN YTM IS 8%)

Coupon Rate: 11%

Coupon Amount (PMT): $1,000 * 11% = $110/2 = $55 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 13*2 = 26

YTM (rate) = 8%/2 = 4%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV0) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P0 =pv(4%,26,-55,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $1,239.74

(WHEN YTM RISES BY 2%, NEW YTM IS 10%)

Coupon Amount (PMT): $55 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 26

YTM (rate) = 10%/2 = 5%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV1) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P1 =pv(5%,26,-55,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $1,071.88

CHANGE IN THE BOND PRICE OF BOND K DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE YTM

%change = (P1 – P0)/P0

%change = ($1071.88 - $1239.74)/$1239.74

%change = -13.54%

Therefore, with the increase in 2% YTM of BOND k, the price falls by 13.54%

SIMILALRY IF THE BOND PRICES FALLS BY 2%, the YTM WILL BE 6%/2 = 3% **(REFER THE IMAGE ATTACHED)
