Cosmetic Profits. Sally is the executive vice president of Big Name Cosmetics Company. Through important and material, nonpublic

information, she learns that the company is soon going to purchase a smaller chain of stores. It is expected that stock in Big Name Cosmetics will rise dramatically at that point. Sally immediately buys a number of shares of her company's stock. She also tells her friend Alice about the expected purchase of stores. Alice wanted to purchase stock in the company but lacked the funds with which to do so. Although she did not have the funds in Bank A, Alice decided to draw a check on Bank A and deposit the check in Bank B and then proceed to write a check on Bank B to cover the purchase of the stock. She hoped that she would have sufficient funds to deposit before the check was presented for payment. Of which of the following, if any, is Sally guilty of by providing information to Alice regarding the purchase?

Answer:

Sally is guilty of insider trading violation which she has done by tipping the information to Alice.

Sally has committed an unlawful practice by giving away inside information to a friend named Alice.  The inside (confidential) information is used to get tipped off, or it can be used to tip off someone else which leads to further unlawful practices which in this case is ‘Check Kitting’, and it is a type of theft and larceny which is used to get the advantage of non-existing funds.

started                1,650

kvasek [131]

Answer: 9.7%

Explanation:

Given Data

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)

= 0.096 * 100

= 9.6%

Unlevered Equity Cost ;

ReU= Wd × rd + We × re

= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%

= 9.28%

Levered Equity Cost:

New Debt = 60%,

New Equity = 40%,

New rd = 9%

ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)

= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)

= 0.097 * 100

= 9.7%

andre [41]

Answer:

Cost volume profit analysis (CVP) refers basically to determining the break-even point of a company and how we can use that information to predict how different changes might affect it. When you are performing a CVP analysis you have to decide which variables will be constant, i.e. ceteris paribus, and which will be altered to predict the effect on the company’s operating income.

1)

sales level     total revenue    variable costs      fixed costs      total costs

2,000             48,000             36,000                 24,000            60,000

4,000             96,000             72,000                 24,000            96,000

6,000            144,000           108,000                 24,000           132,000

8,000            192,000           144,000                 24,000           168,000
