Answer:

The future price of Silver is $26.14

Explanation:

First we compute Total storage costs(Tsc) in the future given by the equation:

T<em>sc</em> = (S<em>c</em>/4) * [  1 + exp(-rT<em>1</em>) + exp(-rT<em>2</em>) ]

where Sc is the storage cost today

where r is the rate

S<em>c</em> = $0.24

T<em>1</em> = 3/12

T<em>2</em> = 6/12

r = 5%=5/100

 = 0.05

Tsc = (0.24/4) [ 1 + exp(0.05*3/12) + exp(0.05*6/12) ]

Tsc = 0.06 [ 1 + exp(-0.05×0.25) + exp(-0.05×0.5) ]

Tsc = 0.178

The future price( Fv) is given by:

Fv = (Sp+ Tsc) *exp(rt)

where Sp is the spot price of silver

where r is the interest rate

where t is the delivery time ratio (9 months compared to 12 months)

Sp = $25

r = 5%

 = 5/100=0.05

t = 9/12

   =0.75

Fv = (25. 000+0. 178) * e xp(0. 05×0 .75 )

Fv = $26. 14

"In a Real Estate Limited Partnership, the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Increase interest deductions for the limited partners.

Explanation:

In the given scenario the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property to the original amount of $8,000,000. The interest rate on both mortgages is the same.

Refinancing a loan means that more money is disbursed to the borrower before the termination of the loan.

When a loan is refinanced at the same interest rate the borrower pays more interest.

For example if the mortgage remains at $5,000,000 the interest paid on this principal will be lower.

When the loan is refinanced to $8,000,000 at the same Interest rate the interest paid will be higher because principal is higher.

So the general partner aims to increase the amount of interest paid.

omparative Income Statement For the Years Ended December 31, 20Y6 and 20Y5 1 20Y6 20Y5 Amount Increase (Decrease) Percentage Inc
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

 

Liquidity and Solvency Measures Computations

Current ratio $3,093,000 ÷ $840,000

Working capital $3,093,000 – $840,000

Accounts receivable turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2]

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities $2,690,000 ÷ $1,690,000

Inventory turnover $4,100,000 ÷ [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2]

Number of days' sales in receivables [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($8,280,000 ÷ 365)

Number of days' sales in inventory [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($4,100,000 ÷ 365)

Times interest earned ($989,400 + $127,000) ÷ $127,000

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity $2,530,000 ÷ $4,077,000

Quick ratio $1,866,000 ÷ $840,000

Profitability Measures Computations

Asset turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($5,783,000 + $5,593,000) ÷ 2]

Return on total assets ($801,420 + $127,000) ÷ [($6,607,000 + $6,417,000) ÷ 2]

Return on stockholders’ equity $801,420 ÷ [($4,077,000 + $3,873,150) ÷ 2]

Return on common stockholders’ equity ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ [($3,589,500 + $3,445,920) ÷ 2]

Earnings per share on common stock ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ 250,000 shares

Price-earnings ratio $35 ÷ $3.05

Dividends per share $175,000 ÷ 250,000 shares

Dividend yield $0.70 ÷ $35

Two of the computations use shares.

Use the following comparative income statement form to enter amounts you identify from the computations on the Liquidity and Solvency Measures panel and on the Profitability Measures panel. Compute any missing amounts and complete the horizontal analysis columns. Enter percentages as decimal amounts, rounded to one decimal place. When rounding, look only at the figure to the right of one decimal place. If < 5, round down and if ≥ 5, round up. For example, for 32.048% enter 32.0%. For 32.058% enter 32.1%.
