Answer:

Missing word <em>"a. What must the six-month risk-free rate be in Japan"</em>

<em />

a. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 1.2377 Aus.dollar

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 1.2356 Aus.dollar

<u>1.2356</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>

1.2377     (1 + 0.05)

0.9983 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.048215 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.048215 - 1

i.Ad = 0.048215

i.Ad = 4.82%

b. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 100.3300 Japan Yen

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 100.0500 Japan Yen

<u>100.0500</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>

100.3300     (1 + 0.05)

0.9972 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.04706 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.04706 - 1

i.Ad = 0.04706

i.Ad = 4.71%

Sale of treasury stock         Increase              NE                        Increase  Declare cash dividend            NE                   Increase                   NE

Pay cash dividend               Decrease            Decrease NE

100% stock dividend              NE                        NE                      NE

2-for-1 stock split                    NE                       NE                         NE

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.

When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.

When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.

100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.

A firm's current profits are $400,000. These profits are expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate of 4 percent. I
Valentin [98]

Answer:

A. $21,200,000

B. $20,800,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Opportunity cost of funds)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.06)]÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.06)]÷0.02

Value of the firm= $424,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $21,200,000

Therefore The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends will be $21,200,000

B. Calculation to determine The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends

Using this formula

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Constant growth annual rate)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= $416,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $20,800,000

Therefore The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends will be $20,800,000

10. Crowding out effect Suppose economists observe that an increase in government spending of $13 billion raises the total deman
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Effect of crowding out:

The crowding out phenomena describes the economic phenomena in which an increase in government public spending leads to reduced or perhaps may eliminate of private investment.

Multiplier:

The multiplier represents the ratio of income to investment change.

Given that:

$13 billion increase in government spending will lead to a $52 billion

The rise in demand for goods & service will be the value of multiplier which is

= 52/13

= 4

To determine the multiplier using the formula:

Multiplier = 1 /( 1- MPC)

4 = 1/(1 - MPC)

4 (1 - MPC) = 1

(1- MPC) = 1/4

-MPC = 0.25 - 1

MPC = 0.75

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Nady [450]

Answer:

Consider the following explanations and calculations

Explanation:

part 1

a)  KTZ sold an office building for $85,000 in cash. It originally bought the office building seven

years ago for $59,000 and has taken $14,000 in depreciation.-

Ans- Bookvalue on date of sale= $59000- $ 14000= $ 45000

Profit on sale of office building= $85000- $45000= $40000

As per section 1231, out of profit of $40,000, amount of $14000, i.e till the amount of depreciation will be an ordinary income and $26000 (40000-14000) will be considered capital income.

b)

KTZ sold another machine for $6,200. It originally purchased this machine six months ago for

$9,000 and has claimed $1,230 in depreciation expense against the asset.

Ans- As the asset was held for less than one year, the provision of section 1230 will not apply. Thus, the loss will be treated as ordinary loss. The amount of ordinary loss =cost-depreciation-salesprice=9000-1230-6200= $1570

c)

KTZ sold some of its inventory for $5,000 cash. This inventory had a basis of $8,000

Ans-Section 1230 will not be applied to inventories. Thus ordinary profit of $3000 (8000-3000) will be considered.

d)

KTZ held stock in XYZ Corp., which had a value of $19,000 at the beginning of the year. That

same stock had a value of $25,230 at the end of the year.

Ans- Stock is treated as lower of market value or cost, hence no treatment, willl be shown at $19000

e)

KTZ sold a machine that it used to make computerized dies for $26,300 cash. It originally bought

the machine for $16,200 three years ago and has taken $4,000 depreciation

Ans- Bookvalue of computer- 16200-4000= $12,200

Profit= 26300- 12200= $14100

As per section 1231, out of profit of $14,100, amount of $4000, i.e till the amount of depreciation will be an ordinary income and $10100 (14100-4000) will be considered capital income.

part 2

Net section 1231 gain=26,000 + 10100= $ $36100

Ordinary gain= 14000+3000+4000= $21000

Ordinary loss= $ 1570
