Square Hammer Corp. shows the following information on its 2018 income statement: Sales = $206,000; Costs = $123,000; Other expe

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a. What is the 2018 operating cash flow?

$31,200 + $14,000 = $45,200

b. What is the 2018 cash flow to creditors?

-$13,100 - $3,100 = -$16,200 (it is negative since interests and principal were paid to creditors)

c. What is the 2018 cash flow to stockholders?

-$10,000 + $4,600 = -$5,400 (it is negative since more dividends were paid to stockholders than new equity raised)

d. If net fixed assets increased by $22,000 during the <em>year, what was the addition to NWC?</em>

net capital spending = depreciation + increase in fixed assets = $14,000 + $22,000 = $36,000

cash flow from assets = cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders = -$16,200 - $5,400 = -$21,600

change in net working capital = operating cash flow + cash flow from assets - net capital spending = $45,200 - $21,600 - $36,000 = $12,400

Explanation:

net income = $206,000 - $123,000 - $7,900 - $14,000 - $13,100 - $16,800 = $31,200

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays n

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$13.64

Explanation:

Given:

Exercise price,X = $100

Current price = $100

Value when price is up, uS = $120

Value when price is down, dS= $80

Risk free interest rate = 10%

First calculate hedge ratio, H:

$H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS}$

Where,

Cu = uS - X

= 120 - 100

= $20

$H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}$

A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.

Find cost of portfolio:

Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.

= $100 - 2C

This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that

_______________

Portforlio 1:

Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80

____________________

Portforlio 2:

Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80

Check for oresent value of the portfolio:

Present value $= \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73$

Value = exercise price - value of option

$72.73 = $100 - 2C

Find call option, C

$C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64$

Call option's value = $13.64

Se the following account balances from the adjusted trial balance of Gees Catering:

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The amount that Gees Consulting would report as the ending balance in the R. Gees, Capital account at the end of the year is $8,000

Explanation:

For computing the ending balance of capital account, first, we have to compute the net income or loss which is shown below:

Net income/loss = Fees revenue - salary expense - rent expense - supplies expense

= $10,000 - $7,000 - $6,000 - $6,000

= ($19,000)

Now the ending balance would be

= Opening capital - net loss - drawings

= $18,000 - $9,000 - $1,000

= $8,000

The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premiu

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:

The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)

Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.

Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Since the correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged), it implies that beta and also the risk premium will also double.

From the question, we can obtain:

Current risk premium = Expected rate of return - Market risk premium = 20.2% - 6.5% = 13.70%

As the current risk premium will double, we have:

New risk premium = Current risk premium * 2 = 13.70% * 2 = 27.40%

Also, we have:

New discount rate = New risk premium + Market risk premium = 27.40% + 6.5% = 33.90%

Since it is assumed that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity, the dividend can therefore e calculated as follows:

Dividend = Current market price * Current expected rate of return = $74 * 20.2% = $14.95

The new market price of the security can now be calculated as follows:

New market price of the security = Dividend / New discount rate = $14.95 / 33.90% = $44.10

Therefore, the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
