<span>Since Henry decided
to increase the deductible on his existing insurance policy, his monthly auto
insurance premium will be lower. This means that higher deductible means lower
premium payments. It also affects the insurance coverage of Henry because this
mean that Henry must shoulder a specific amount (or high cash-out) before the claim
is paid by the insurance company.</span>
Answer:
Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.
For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.
Initial outlay $100
NCF year 1 = $40
NCF year 2 = $40
NCF year 3 = $40
Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93
Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": All securities in an efficient market are zero net present value investments.
Explanation:
The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that neither public or insider information cannot help in an attempt to beat the market because stocks already show all available information possible. Thus, neither using technical or fundamental analysis could be useful to predict future stock price movement.
<em>In other words, in a market under EMH all stocks are zero Net Present Value (present value inflows minus present value outflows) investment vehicles.</em>
Answer:
The correct answer is 10.72% ( Approx.).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Debt ratio = 46.5%
Capital intensity ratio = 2.51 times
Profit margins = 21%
Dividend payout = 38%
Formula to calculate sustainable growth rate ae as follows:
Sustainable growth rate = (Earnings retention rate × Return on equity ) / ( 1 - (ROE × RR)
where, Retention rate =(1 - dividend payout rate)
= (1-0.38) = 0.62
ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turonver × Equity multipler
= Profit margin × 1/capital intensity ratio × 1/(1-debt ratio)
= .21 × (1/2.51) × 1/(1-.465)
= .21 × 0.398 × 1.869
= 0.1562
=15.62%
So, Sustainable growth rate = (0.1562*0.62) / 1 - (0.1562*0.62)
= 0.096844 / 0.903156
= 0.1072
= 10.72% (approx.)
Hence, the correct answer is 10.72% (approx.).
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Logan Corporation has 30 employees, 10 in "A-line," and 20 in "B-line." Logan incurred $180,000 in fringe benefits costs last year.
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate based on number of employees:
Estimated allocation rate= total estimated fringe costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated allocation rate= 180,000/30= $6,000 per employee.
Now, we can allocate fringe costs to the A-line:
Allocated fringe costs= Estimated Estimated allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated fringe costs= 6,000*10= $60,000
