Cindy has been working for 8 years, and she’s built up a huge emergency fund -- $45,000, which would be 6 months of her salary.

She’s hoping to earn a bit more interest than she currently is with that $45,000 just sitting in her traditional bank’s savings account. Which account would you recommend? Why?

Answer with Explanation:

Following are some types of account investments that are better for emergency funds and the return on these investment varies depending upon the risk born by the investors:

  • Current Account Investments
  • Commodity Investments
  • Mutual Funds

If the inflation rate is below the return paid on the current account then it could be a better investment option as the money doesn't loose its value over time.

If the inflation rate is higher than the return paid on the current account then it is better to invest in commodities like gold, petroleum products, etc, that are often termed as speculative investments.

If the investor is risk seeking person, then it is better to invest in mutual funds as the return on such investments is higher because of the higher risk that the investor bears.

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Values depending on Success

$150M, $135M, $95M, $80M

Risk free rate = 5% = 0.05

Pervebtage to be lost in case of bankruptcy = 25% = 0.25

A.) 0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + 95 + 80) ÷ 1.05] = $109.52 million

Assume a zero-coupon debt with a $100million face value

B.) 0.25 × [( 100 + 100 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $78.87 million

C.) Yield to maturity (YTM)

(100M÷78.87M) - 1

1.2679 - 1 = 0.2679 = 26.79%

Expected return = 5%

D.) Equity value

0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $99.11 million

E.) share if no debt is issued

109.52 ÷ 10 = 10.95 per share

F.) Share price if debt of $100M is issued

99.11 ÷ 10 = 9.91 per share

The price differs because bankruptcy cost will Lower the share price.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$1,133,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:

= Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work-in-process inventory - ending work-in-process inventory

where,

Direct material used is

= Opening balance of raw material + purchase made - ending balance of raw material

= $83,000 + $361,000 - $62,000

= $382,000

The manufacturing overhead is

= Indirect labor + Depreciation on Factory Plant and Equipment + Plant Utilities and Insurance

= $18,000 + $22,000 + $272,000

= $312,000

And, the other items would remain the same

So, the cost of goods manufactured is

= $382,000 + $469,000 + $312,000 + $25,000 - $55,000

= $1,133,000

We simply applied the above formula to determine the cost of goods manufactured
