A pension plan is obligated to make disbursements of $2.5 million, $3.5 million, and $2.5 million at the end of each of the next

three years, respectively. The annual interest rate is 8%. If the plan wants to fully fund and immunize its position, how much of its portfolio should it allocate to one-year zero-coupon bonds and perpetuities, respectively, if these are the only two assets funding the plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

pychu [463]

Answer:

a.

1st $5.43

2nd $5.89

3rd $6.39

4th $6.93

5th $7.52

6th $7.81

b.

$75.85

Explanation:

Dividend is the payment to the stockholders out of earning of the company. Companies have a dividend policy which determine the future dividend payments.

Dividend of each year can be calculated by using the growth rate as a discount in the compounding formula.

Dividend Payment

First year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^1 = $5.43

Second year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^2 = $5.89

Third year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^3 = $6.39

Fourth year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^4 = $6.93

Fifth year =$5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^5 = $7.52

Sixth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 3.8% )^1 = $7.81

b.

Intrinsic value of the stock is the present value of all the associated dividends

We need to calculate the present value of all the dividend payment.

First year = $5.43 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-1 =  $4.87

Second year = $5.89 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-2 = $4.74

Third year = $6.39 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-3 = $4.61

Fourth year = $6.93 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-4 = $4.48

Fifth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-5 = $4.36

After fifth year the dividend will be discounted as follow

PV of dividend after fifth year = [ $7.81 / (11.5% - 3.8%) ] x [ (1+11.5%)^-6 ] = $52.79

Intrinsic Value of Stock = Sum of PV of all dividends = $4.87 + $4.74 + $4.61 + $4.48 + $4.36 + $52.79 = $75.85

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: $1900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales revenue$ 4,000

Purchases of direct materials$ 400

Direct labor$ 450

Manufacturing overhead $ 620

Operating expenses$ 650

Beginning raw materials inventory$ 200

Ending raw materials inventory$ 180

Beginning work in process inventory$ 320

Ending work in process inventory$ 410

Beginning finished goods inventory$ 250

Ending finished goods inventory$ 200

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in process

Direct materials= beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 200 + 400 - 180= 420

cost of goods manufactured= 320 + 420 + 450 + 620 - 410= $1400

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

COGS= 250 + 1400 - 200= 1450

Operating income= sales  - COGS - operating expenses

Operating income= 4000 - 1450 - 650= $1900

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

d. $18,900 unfavorable.

Explanation:

Direct labor efficiency variance = SR*(SH-AH)

18000 = SR*(63000-61500)

18000 = 1500 SR

SR = $12

Total standard direct labor cost for February = 63000*12= $756,000

Direct labor flexible-budget variance = $774,900 - $756,000 = $18900 Unfavorable
