Answer: =-9.34%

Explanation:

Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:

= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed

= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850

= -267 / 2850

= -0.09368

=-9.34%

Note:

Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433

Dividend = 100

Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600

Ksju [112]

Answer:

22.7 %

Explanation:

Accounting rate of return = Average Profits / Average Investments × 100

Where,

Average Profit = Sum of Profits ÷ Number of Years

                        = $35,000

and

Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Salvage Value) ÷ 2

                                  = ($278,000 + $30,000) ÷ 2

                                  = $154,000

Therefore,

Accounting rate of return = $35,000 ÷ $154,000

                                          = 22.7 %

If a corporation issued $3,000,000 in bonds which pay 10% annual interest, what is the annual net cash cost of this borrowing if
Anni [7]

Answer:

$210,000

Explanation:

Cost of Borrowings (Interest expense) = Amount of Borrowings * Rate of Interest = $3,000,000 * 10% = $300,000

Tax on Borrowings = Cost of Borrowings * Rate of tax = $300,000 * 30% = $90,000

Net Cost of Borrowings = Cost of Borrowings - Tax on Borrowings

Net Cost of Borrowings = $300,000 - $90,000

Net Cost of Borrowings = $210,000

So, the annual net cash cost of this borrowing if the income tax rate is 30% is $210,000.
