Suppose on Monday June 1, you long and I short the futures contract on 1000 units of commodity, for December delivery. We enter the positions when the futures price is $15 per unit. We are required to post margins equal to 12% of the contract amount. On Tuesday June 2, the December contract settles at $15.75. Between Monday and Tuesday, my return will be what percentage?

a. -4.2%
b. 50%
c. -42%
d. 5%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: -42%

Explanation:

Based on the scenario in the question, the initial investment will be:

= 15 × 1000 × 12%

= 15 × 1000 × 0.12

= $1,800

We then calculate the return. This will be:

=[(15 - 15.75) × 1,000]/1,800

= -750/1,800

= -0.4166666667

Return = -42%

Recall British Consols first issued in 1700s are considered perpetuities. If a British Consol will pay 100 GBP annually starting one year from now and interest rate is 5%.

Required:
a. What is this asset worth today?
b. If interest rate is always 5%, what is the asset worth 3 year from now?
c. Does the asset appreciate or depreciate in value?
d. Do you have any return if you are holding an asset that does not change in value? What is your rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

a. Present value of perpetuity today = Perpetuity amount / Interest rate  = 100 / 0.05 = 2,000GBP. Thus, this asset worth 2,000GBP today

b. Value of perpetuity 3 years from now = Perpetuity amount / Rate = 100/.05 = 2000GBP. The asset worth 3 year from now is 2,000GBP.

c. Since this is a perpetuity; it neither appreciate nor depreciate in value provided the interest rate is constant.

d. There will be a return since we are getting cash-flows in a yearly basis; rate of return will be the interest rate = 5%

During the heavy Christmas shopping season, sales of retail stores, online sales firms, and other merchants rise significantly. a. What would you expect to happen to the market for money during the Christmas season

Answers

The money demand curve shifts to the right, as people demand more money for transactions purposes. According to graph 1.1, the demand for money will increase during the festive (Christmas) season.

MD would shift right, MS would remain unchanged and nominal int rates would rise

During the Christmas shopping season, the demand for money increases significantly. To offset the increase in money demand, the Fed must increase the money supply, which will put downward pressure on nominal interest rates.

During the Christmas shopping season, the demand for money increases significantly. If the Fed takes no actions to offset the increase in money demand, then nominal interest rates will:

Mr. David decision to increase inventory holdings resulted from the consistent pressure of Golden Cup’s Board of Directors to increase amount of inventories. Mr. David’s own opinion was that Golden cup is holding enough inventory to keep the business running without costing the company lots of money on inventory carrying costs. On the other hand, BOD believes that in such a dynamic industry, holding more inventory is necessary to keep smooth business operations.


Required:

a. How long does it currently take the company to turnover its inventory?

b. Do you agree with Mr. David’s opinion? Or, With the BOD? And why? Knowing that industry average inventory turnover is 8.

Answers

Answer:

the information is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:

a) days inventory on hand = (average inventory / cost of goods sold) x 365 = ($14,000 / $120,000) x 365 = 42.58 days

b) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $120,000 / $14,000 = 8.57

I agree with Mr. David because the inventory turnover ratio of Golden Cup is already higher than the industry's average. That means that Golden Cup's current inventory level is appropriate and increasing it would only result in higher costs but would have very little influence on the company's sales.

Calculate the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises assuming that investors expect a 3.7% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 1.5%, and the market risk premium is 4.5%. Mudd has a beta of 2.3, and its realized rate of return has averaged 9.5% over the past 5 years. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Answers

Answer:

15.55%

Explanation:

Calculation for the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises

Using this formula

Required rate of return=Risk free rate+(Market risk premium +Stock beta)

Let plug in the formula

Required rate of return=(3.7%+1.5%)+4.5%(2.3)

Required rate of return=5.2%+0.1035

Required rate of return=0.1555*100

Required rate of return=15.55%

Therefore the Required rate of return is 15.55%

Answers

Answer:

Percentage decreased by 4.5%

Explanation:

Present value for 5%

Present value for 5% = 100 / (1+5%)

Present value for 5% =100/1.05

Present value for 5% = $95.24  (Approx)

Present value for 10%

Present value for 10% = 100 / (1+10%)

Present value for 10% =100/1.1

Present value for 10% = $90.91   (Approx)

Percentage Change = [(90.91/95.24)-1]100

Percentage Change = -4.5%  

Percentage decreased by 4.5%

Raw materials, June 30: 51,000 units
Purchases of raw materials during June: 185,000 units

Hyong’s finished product requires four units of raw materials. On the basis of this information, how many finished products were manufactured during June?

a. 70,500.
b. 45,000.
c. 57,750.
d. 47,500.
e. None of the other answers are correct.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 45,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Raw materials, June 1: 46,000 units

Raw materials, June 30: 51,000 units

Purchases of raw materials during June: 185,000 units

First, we need to calculate the raw material used in production:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 46,000 + 185,000 - 51,000

Direct material used= 180,000

Now, the production for the period:

Production= 180,000/4

Production= 45,000 units

Oriole's Copy Shop bought equipment for $458400 on January 1, 2020. Oriole estimated the useful life to be 3 years with no salvage value, and the straight-line method of depreciation will be used. On January 1, 2021, Oriole decides that the business will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. What is the revised depreciation expense for 2021?

Answers

Answer:

the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

Explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation is shown below:

Annual Depreciation is

= $458,400 ÷ 3 years

= $152,800

Now the book value would be

= $458,400 - $152,800

= $305,600

Now the revised depreciation is

= $305,600 ÷ 5 years

= $61,120

Hence, the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

a. places less emphasis on market risk
b. recognizes multiple unsystematic risk factors
c. recognizes only one systematic risk factor
d. recognizes multiple systematic risk factors

Answers

Answer:

Option C: Recognizes only one systematic risk factor

Explanation:

Arbitrage pricing theory (APT) is a theory of risk-return relationships gotten from no-arbitrage and considerations in large capital markets

APT was said to be developed by Steve Ross, 1976 and it uses "No-Arbitrage" Assumption. It was designed mainly to provide "economic" variables to the determination of asset pricing.

capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is simply a model that shows the required rate of return on a security to its systematic risk as taken up or measured by beta.

Answers

Answer:

Gain= $90,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $1,000,000

Original price= $5,220,000

Accumulated depreciation= $4,310,000

First, we need to calculate the book value:

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 5,220,000 - 4,310,000

Book value= $910,000

Now, if the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale:

Gain/loss= selling price - book value

Gain/loss= 1,000,000 - 910,000

Gain= $90,000

Answer:

A perfectly competitive firm will be profitable if price at the profit-maximizing quantity is above: __________

d. MC.

Explanation:

The general rule of profit maximization for a perfectly competitive firm is for the firm (and each firm in the market) to produce the quantity of output where the price (P) = marginal cost (MC).  In this case, the price (P) is a measure of the value that customers place on the good.   The marginal cost (MC) measures what it costs the firm to produce each marginal unit.

California Company estimates that 10,000 machine hours will be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per machine hour will be:__________

Answers

Answer:

$3.40 Per Machine Hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

As we know that

Predetermined overhead rate is

= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours

where,

Estiamted Manuafctuing overheads is

= Salary of Prodcution Supervisior + Indirect Material + rent on Factory Equipment

= $20,00 + $4,000 + $10,000

= $34,000

And, the estimated machine hours is 10,000

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $34,000 ÷ 10,000

= $3.40 Per Machine Hour

Johnson Motors' bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, the bonds have a $1,000 par value, and the coupon rate is 8 percent. The bonds have a yield to maturity of 9 percent. What is the current market price of these bonds?

Answers

Answer:

$935.83

Explanation:

market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 9%)¹⁰ = $422.41

PV of coupon payments = $80 x 6.4177 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 10 periods) = $513.42

current market price = $935.83

Since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount.
