yan [13]

Answer:

4.50%

Explanation:

Note:<em> Question is incomplete but very similar one is attached as picture below</em>

Current ROE = Net Income / Equity = $21,000 / $280,000 = 7.50%

Current Inventory = $210,000

Target Current ratio = 2.70

1. Current assets at target Current ratio = Current Liabilities * Target current ratio = $70000 * 2.70 = $189,000

2. Reduction in Inventories = Present Current assets - Current assets under target current ratio

Reduction in Inventories = $14000 + $70000 + $210000 - $189000

Reduction in Inventories = $105000

3. Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = Current Equity - reduction

Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $280,000 - $105,000

Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $175,000

4. Change in ROE = New ROE - Current ROE

Change in ROE = [21000 / 175000] - 7.50%

Change in ROE = 12% - 7.50%

Change in ROE = 4.50%

Consider a corporate bond with a $1000 face value, 8% coupon with semiannual coupon payments, 7 years until maturity, and a YTM

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$961.42

Explanation:

firstly, we calculate the clean clean price below:

FV= 1,000

PMT= 40 (80 / 2)

I= 4.5 (9 / 2)

N= 14 (7 × 2)

Thus, PV= 948.89

Accrued Interest = coupon × (days since last payment/days in current coupon period)= 40 × (57 / 182) = 12.53

conclusively, dirty price = 948.89 + 12.53 = 961.42

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

subtracting the risk-free rate of return from the market rate of return

Explanation:

Market risk premium is the premium over the risk free rate that investors demand for holding a risky asset

Market risk premium = market rate of return - risk free rate

the higher the risk premium, the higher the return investors are demanding and the riskier the investment

for example if risk free rate is 5% , market rate of return in industry A is 10% while in industry B it is 20%

Market premium in A = 10% - 5% = 5%

Market premium in b = 20% - 5% = 15%

Explanation:

3. MOH allocated to job= predetermined MOH rate * actual amount of allocation base used by the job

The predetermined overhead rate is used to apply manufacturing overhead costs to production jobs. the quantity of a cost driver required by a particular job is multiplied by a predetermined overhead rate to determine the amount of overhead cost applied to the job.

An estimate is made of

the amount of manufacturing over head that will be incurred during a specific period of time and
the amount of the cost driver ( or activity base) that will be used or incurred during the same time period. the predetermined overhead rate is computed as follows

Predetermined Overhead Rate= Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead Cost/ Budgeted amount of cost driver

The predetermined overhead rate is used to apply manufacturing overhead costs to production jobs. The quantity of the cost driver ( or activity base ) required by a particular job is multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate to determine the amount of overhead cost applied to the job.
