Answer:
The most severe constraint that anyone faces is time, the day has 24 hours, a week has 7 days and the year has 365 days. No matter how big or small a company is, time is the same for all. E.g. a factory has to build 10,000 units of good X for next week, they must do it before the due date. If the factory is shut down for any reason at all, e.g. lights go out, they will have to work overtime.
Two of the other constraints are basically related to capital: equipment and facilities. No matter how rich a person is or how big a company is, they have a certain amount of money, they cannot own it all. Only governments own machines that print money, and even they face strict regulations regarding how much money they can print. You need money to buy more equipment and build larger facilities, or if you do not have enough money, you will have to work overtime or eventually not be able to produce the output that you wanted. A facility has a certain level of maximum production, the same for a machine or equipment, and you cannot make it work over that level. E.g. a machine produces 10 units per hour, so it will not be able to produce 100 units per hour, nor 20 nor 40, not even 11.
Labor constraints refer to the total amount of labor supply available. E.g. all you need to do to understand the shortage of certain qualified labor is look at the amount of job vacancies in the high tech, computer and software industries. There are hundreds of thousands of vacant jobs around the world which cannot be filled simply because there are not enough qualified people. That is also the reason why careers in these industries are paid higher than average wages.
Company BFM has several bond issues outstanding, each making semiannual interest payments. The bonds are listed below. If the corporate tax rate is 15%, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
Bond Coupon Rate Price Quote Maturity Face Value
1 7.5% 105.0 5 years $20,000,000
2 5.8 95.4 8 years 40,000,000
3 7.7 103.8 15 1/2 years 45,000,000
4 8.1 105.7 25 years 60,000,000
Answer:
bond 1:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {750,000 + [(20,000,000 - 21,000,000) / 10]} / [(20,000,000 + 21,000,000) / 2]
YTM = 650,000 / 20,500,000 = 3.17 x 2 = 6.34%
after tax cost of debt = 6.34% x (1 - 15%) = 5.39%
bond 2:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {1,160,000 + [(40,000,000 - 38,160,000) / 16]} / [(40,000,000 + 38,160,000) / 2]
YTM = 1,275,000 / 39,080,000 = 3.26 x 2 = 6.53%
after tax cost of debt = 6.53% x (1 - 15%) = 5.55%
bond 3:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {1,732,500 + [(45,000,000 - 46,710,000) / 31]} / [(45,000,000 + 46,710,000) / 2]
YTM = 1,677,339 / 45,855,000 = 3.66 x 2 = 7.32%
after tax cost of debt = 7.32% x (1 - 15%) = 6.22%
bond 4:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {2,430,000 + [(60,000,000 - 63,420,000) / 50]} / [(60,000,000 + 63,420,000) / 2]
YTM = 2,361,600 / 61,710,000 = 3.83 x 2 = 7.65%
after tax cost of debt = 7.65% x (1 - 15%) = 6.51%

Common Stock—$0. 10 Par Value 1,600,000
Answer:
The correct general entry is,
Cash 1,600,000 Dr
Common Stock-$0.10 Par value 40000 Cr
Paid-ln Capital in Excess of Par—Common 1,560,000 Cr
Option c is the correct answer
Explanation:
The issuance of stock will mean an inflow of cash to the company as a result. The cash received will be equal to the number of shares issued multiplied by the value at which they are issued.
Thus, cash received will be = 400000 * 4 = $1600000
As the asset is increasing, the cash will be debited.
On the other side of the transaction, the issuance of stock is always recorded at the par value in the common stock account and any amount received in excess of par value is credited to the Paid-in-Capital in excess of par-Common Stock account.
Thus, Common stock will be credited by = 400000 * 0.1 = $40000
The remaining = 1600000 - 40000 = 1560000 will be credited to Paid-in-Capital in excess of par-Common Stock account.
The result of inspection of samples taken over the past 11 days is given below. The sample size is 100 per day. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Defectives 7 9 9 11 7 8 0 11 13 2What are the upper and lower control limits?
Answer:
UCL(p) = 0.157
LCL(p) = 0
Explanation:
Number of samples (n) = 10
Size of sample (n) = 100
We compute the defective rate P as below
P = 7 + 9 + 9 + 11 + 7 + 8 + 0 + 11 + 13 + 2 / 10 * 100
P = 77 / 1000
p = 0.077
We derive σP / value of standard deviation of the sampling distribution as shown below
σP = √P * (1-P) / n
σP = √0.077 * (1 - 0.077) / 100
σP = √0.077 * 0.923/100
σP = √0.071071/100
σP = √0.00071071
σP = 0.02665
Now we calculate the Upper Control chart limit:
UCL(p) = P +Z*σP
UCL(p) = 0.077 + 3*0.02665
UCL(p) = 0.077 + 0.07995
UCL(p) = 0.15695
UCL(p) = 0.157
Now we calculate the Lower Control chart limit:
LCL(p) = P - Z*σP
LCL(p) = 0.077 - 3*0.02665
LCL(p) = 0.077 - 0.07995
LCL(p) = -0.00295 (Negative defect cannot go beyond Zero)
LCL(p) = 0

Issuing a $1,000 par value bond with a yield to maturity of 10%. The company is in a 35 percent marginal tax bracket. What will be the firm’s after-tax cost of debt on the bond?
Answer:
6.50%
Explanation:
The after-tax cost of the debt is the yield to maturity after having deducted the tax shield which is computed using the formula below:
after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
pretax cost of debt=yield to maturity=10%
tax rate=35%
The after-tax cost of debt=10%*(1-35%)
The after-tax cost of debt=10%*65%
The after-tax cost of debt=6.50%

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.50 at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $0.50), and it should continue to grow at a constant rate of 9% a year. If its required return is 12%, what is the stock's expected price 1 years from today? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
P1 = $18.16667 rounded off to $18.17
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
To calculate the price of the stock today (P0), we use the dividend expected for the next period (D1). Similarly, to calculate the price of the stock one year from today (P1), we will use D2.
P1 = 0.5 * (1+0.09) / (0.12 - 0.09)
P1 = $18.16667 rounded off to $18.17
Sheffield Corp. traded machinery with a book value of $978480 and a fair value of $906000. It received in exchange from Ivanhoe Company a machine with a fair value of $1023780. Sheffield also paid cash of $102378 in the exchange. Ivanhoe’s machine has a book value of $978480. What amount of gain or loss should Sheffield recognize on the exchange (assuming lack of commercial substance)?
Answer:
Gain $72,480
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of gain or loss that Sheffield should recognize on the exchange
Using this formula
Gain/Loss= Book value – Fair value
Let plug in the formula
Gain/Loss= $978,480 – $906,000
Gain=$72,480
Therefore the amount of gain or loss that Sheffield should recognize on the exchange will be $72,480
Big Valley has a times interest earned ratio that is _________, which indicates that Big Valley has _________ long-term insolvency risk than the typical firm in the industry.
a. 4; the same
b. 3.91; less
c. 3.91; more
d. 4.58; more
e. 4.58; less
Answer:
C. 3.91; more
Explanation:
the first part of the question is missing. It involved several aspects of Big Valley including its current and quick ratios, ROE and how they compare to the industry's average (they are generally lower than the industry's average).
This particular question refers to times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = 3.91, and how it compares to the industry's average (it is higher than the industry's average).
Since Big Valley performs poorly against the industry's average when comparing the other 3 metrics, but performs very well in the times interest ratio, it means that Big Valley has a low debt ratio. A low debt ratio results in lower financial leverage and lower interest expense.

Jeannie plans to deposit $6,000 in a money market sinking fund at the end of each year for the next four years. What is the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment if the sinking fund earns 9% interest
Answer:
$27,439
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment
First step is to find the FV of an ordinary annuity of $1 using the table
FV=?
Number of years= 4
interest= 9%
Hence,
FV of of an ordinary annuity of $1 =4.5731
Now let calculate the that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment
End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $6,000 × 4.5731
End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $27,439
Therefore the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment will be $27,439
Whistle Stop pays a constant annual dividend of $4 on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 3 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. What is the current price per share if the required return on this stock is 15.6 percent?
a. $10.38
b. $9.52
c. $9.04
d. $9.28
e. $10.02
Answer:
P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04
Option c is the correct answer
Explanation:
Using the the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + D3 / (1+r)^3
Where,
r is the required rate of returnP0 = 4 / (1+0.156) + 4 / (1+0.156)^2 + 4 / (1+0.156)^3
P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04
