Answer:

B. I and II only

Explanation:

Assumption: <u>Apparently there is an </u><u>error</u><u> in the question and option 1 has been </u><u>read as</u><u>, "Security A would have a </u><u>higher </u><u>risk premium than Security B", only then answer I and II only can be selected. </u>

Standard deviation of a security is a measure of security risk. If a security has a higher standard deviation, it means the risk is high.

A security that has more risk would have a greater risk premium to compensate for the extra risk assumed.

Sharpe ratio denotes excess return per unit of total risk i.e standard deviation.

In the given case, security A has a higher standard deviation than security B. This means that Security A would have a higher risk premium than Security B and also since the variation of returns is high (since standard deviation is high), the range of returns for Security A in any given year would be higher than the likely range of returns for Security B.

koban [17]

Answer:

NPV = $23,146.99

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year o = $- 130,000 

Cash flow each year in year 1 and 2 = 0

Cash flow each year in year 3 to 12 = $34,000

I = 12%

NPV = $23,146.99

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

On January 1, 2017, Culver Company issued 10-year, $2,140,000 face value, 6% bonds, at par. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) diluted earnings per share = 0

Explanation:

Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.

Whereas DEPS is a representation of  not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.

So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.

If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:

The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;

DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.

Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.

Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).

Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;

DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960

DEPS =$424400÷120960

DEPS = $3.5
