Answer:

a. emphasizes accounting income

Explanation:

Average rate of return is calculated using annual returns, for the period for which the investment is made.

The formula to calculate so = $\frac{Average return during the period}{Average investment}$

Where average return during the period = total of return during the entire life of the investment divided into number of years, or tenure of investment.

Average investment = (Opening investment + Closing investment)/2.

Therefore it does not consider the accounting income, it takes into consideration, it considers total return from each particular investment.

Thus emphasizing on accounting income is not an advantage of average rate of return method.

Answer:

Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease

Explanation:

Given that the capital stock of a nation or country jas a direct impact on such country in terms of savings and investments which directly translates to additional.economic development.

Hence, in this case, when a tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate is that "Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease"

This because there won't be adequate money available to create more employment. And with lease employment opportunities than the available labor, the real wage rate tends to decrease over time.

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4 the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%

A company is preparing its cash budget. Its cash balance on January 1 is $290,000, and it has a minimum cash requirement of $340

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

excess of $15,800 (d.)

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cash excess or deficiency for March, we have to determine the net balance for the period from January, February and March, after deducting the total expenditures from the incomes as follows:

Cash Receipts (income)

January 1 balance = $ 290,000

January = $ 1,061,200

February = $ 1,182,400

March = $ 1,091,700

Total cash receipt = $3,625,300

Cash payments (expenditure)

January = $ 984,500

February = $ 1,210,000

March = $ 1,075,000

Total payments = $ 3,269,500

Net cash available = total cash receipts - total cash payments

= 3,625,300 - 3,269,500 = $355,800

Note, we are told that the minimum cash requirement = $340,000

Therefore:

Cash excess (deficiency) = Net cash available - minimum cash requirement

= 355,800 - 340,000 = $15,800 (excess)

<em>excess because cash available is greater than the minimum cash requirement.</em>
