Future value of each option:

First choise:       $ 11,730,289.64

Second choise: $ 12,559,457.84‬

<em>Conclusion: </em>

<em>It is better to pick the second option as yields a better return </em>

Explanation:

We solve for the future value of the cashflow of each option:

First choise:

End of the first year:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 2,000,000.00

time 36.00 (form end of the first to end of the fourth)

rate 0.00917 (11% / 12 months as it compounds monthly)

2000000 \: (1+ 0.00916666666666667)^{36} = Amount

<em>Amount $2,777,757.26</em>

End of the second year:

Principal 2,000,000.00

time 24.00

rate 0.00917

2000000 \: (1+ 0.00916666666666667)^{24} = Amount

<em>Amount $2,489,657.04</em>

<em>End of the third year:</em>

Principal 4,000,000.00

time 12.00

rate 0.00917

4000000 \: (1+ 0.00916666666666667)^{12} = Amount

<em>Amount $4,462,875.34</em>

End of the fourth year: $2,000,000

Total:  

<em>$2,777,757.26</em>

<em>$2,489,657.04</em>

<em>$4,462,875.34 </em>

1. The beta for Eastman Kodak is 1.10. The current six-month treasury bill rate is 3.25%. Estimate the cost of equity for Eastma
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) Cost of equity is 12.501%

2) Price of bond is $935.82

3) Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Explanation:

1) Given:

Beta = 1.1

Risk free rate (Rf) = 3.25%

Market risk premium (Rp) = 8.41%

Using CAPM to compute cost of equity:

Re = Rf + β (Rp)

    = 3.25 + 1.1(8.41)

    = 12.501%

2) Price of bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10 years

Coupon rate = 8%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.08× 1000 = $80

Discount rate (rate) = 9% or 0.09

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $935.82. It is negative as it's cash outflow

3) Price of semi-annual bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10×2 = 20 periods

Coupon rate = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.04× 1000 = $40

Discount rate (rate) = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

During December, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods a total of
slega [8]

Answer:

Direct material cost per equivalent unit = $3.77

Explanation:

<em>Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.</em>

Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units

To determine the direct material cost per equivalent unit, we follow the steps below

Step 1

<em>Determine the total equivalent units</em>

<em>Item                   Workings                       Equivalent  unit (E.U)</em>

Finished good     100% × 59,000   =       59,000

Closing WIP        50% ×  15,000     =         7,500

Total equivalent unit                             66,500

Step 2

<em>Determine the cost per equivalent unit</em>

Total direct material cost = $ (60,100 + 190,800)

                                    =  $ 250,900

Direct material cost per equivalent unit

  = 250,900/66, 500 E.U

= $3.77

Direct material cost per equivalent unit = $3.77
