Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) pays an annual dividend of $4.45. The company is expected to continue paying this dividend with no future growth in dividends. Investors require 11% rate of return on this investment. What is the current stock value of CAT
Answer:
$40.45
Explanation:
The current stock value of CAT is computed as below
Current stock value = Annual dividend / Rate of return
Current stock value = $4.45 / 11%
Current stock value = $4.45 / 0.11
Current stock value = $40.454546
Current stock value = $40.45
So, the current stock value of CAT is $40.45.
A student wants to buy a smartphone so she can share pictures with her friends. An insurance claims adjuster wants to buy a smartphone to document accidents (take pictures, write a report, etc.). If they both purchase the same model smartphone, such as an Apple iPhone, which statement is most accurate?
a. Both the adjuster and the student we potential customers because in their own way, they both benefit from the product.
b. The student is the prospective customer since there are more students buying smartphones for personal use than there are insurance adjusters buying smartphones for business use.
c. Neither the adjuster nor the student is a prospective customer since the company will pay for the adjuster's smartphone and the student's parents will pay for hers.
d. Only a person who has bought a smartphone previously is a prospective customer, only previous owners of smartphones benefit from buying new ones.
e. The adjuster is a prospective customer because the smartphone will be used for work, the student is only a secondary user since the purpose of the smartphone is just for entertainment
Answer:
Option A (Both the adjuster and the student we potential customers because in their own way, they both benefit from the product).
Explanation:
Both the adjuster and the student were potential customers as they were both buying the smartphone for either personal or official use. The adjuster sees the smartphone as a product or tool that could be used to make work efficient. The student sees the product as a luxury.

Explanation:
Is an increase in the marginal income tax rate reflected by a shift in the after-tax supply of labor or a movement along the supply curve when the pretax wage rate is on the vertical axis?
Answer:
A shift in the supply curve of labour.
Explanation:
An increase in marginal income tax rate cause the income tax burden on a consumer to rise as the consumers income goes up.
What this means is that as his income gets to rise, he would have to pay more in taxes. Due to a rising change in what he pays as tax, what he would receive as income after tax would be lower at the same number of labor hours. On the labor supply curve this would depict a downward shift.
In conclusion, an increase in marginal tax would be shown by a shift in the after tax supply of labor which would fall backwards or downwards
Your company has an opportunity to invest in a project that is expected to result in after-tax cash flows of $7,000 the first year, $9,000 the second year, $12,000 the third year, -$8,000 the fourth year, $19,000 the fifth year, $25,000 the sixth year, $28,000 the seventh year, and -$6,000 the eighth year. The project would cost the firm $47,300. If the firm's cost of capital is 18%, what is the modified internal rate of return
Answer:
The modified internal rate of return is 15.67%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total present value of the after-tax cash flows.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total present value of the after-tax cash flows = $40,332.66
The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) can be calculated using the following formula:
MIRR = (PV / Outlay)^(1/n) * (1 + r) - 1……………….. (2)
Where;
PV = Total present value of the after-tax cash flows = $40,332.66
Outlay = Absolute value of cost of the project = $47,300
r = cost of capital = 18%, or 0.18
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
MIRR = ($40,332.66 / 47,300)^(1/8) * (1 + 0.18) - 1 = 0.1567, or 15.67%
Therefore, the modified internal rate of return is 15.67%.
Waterway Industries Recorded operating data for its Cheap division for the year. Waterway requires its return to be 10%. Sales $1600000 Controllable margin 88000 Total average assets 4400000 Fixed costs 100000 What is the ROI for the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we need to get the value of contribution margin , which is computed as;
Controllable margin = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed cost
$88,000 = Contribution margin - $100,000
Contribution margin = $88,000 + $100,000
Contribution margin = $188,000
Also,
Net income = Contribution margin - Total fixed expense
Net income = $188,000 - $100,000
Net income = $88,000
Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average operating assets
Return on investment = $88,000 ÷ $4,400,000
Return on investment = 2%
Therefore, the ROI for the year is 2%
Mary makes 10 pies and 20 cakes a day and her opportunity cost of producing a cake is 2 pies. Tim makes 20 pies and 10 cakes a day and his opportunity cost of producing a cake is 4 pies. If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Answer:
If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies
She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies
This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)
Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies
She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes
This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)
When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.

Explanation:
Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Matsui Co. paid $1,795,200 for its investment in 74,800 shares of Yankee Inc. Further, assume that Yankee has 220,000 total shares of stock issued. The book value and fair value of Yankee's identifiable net assets were both $440,000 at January 1, 2021. The following information pertains to Yankee during 2021:
Net income $240,000
Dividends declared and paid $72,000
Market price of common stock on 12/31/2016 $29/share
What amount would Matsui report in its year-end 2016 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee?
a. $1,608,000.
b. $1,368,000.
c. $1,329,600.
d. None of these answer choices is correct.
Answer: $1,852,320
Explanation:
First find out the proportion owned by Matsui.
= 74,800 shares / 220,000
= 34%
The investment at the end of the year is:
= Cost of investment + Shares of net income - Share of dividend
Share of income:
= Percentage ownership * Net income
= 34% * 240,000
= $81,600
Share of dividend:
= 34% * 72,000
= $24,480
Investment at end of year:
= 1,795,200 + 81,600 - 24,480
= $1,852,320
In the month of June, a department had 19900 units in beginning work in process that were 75% complete. During June, 90200 units were transferred into production from another department. At the end of June there were 11000 units in ending work in process that were 40% complete. Materials are added at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. The equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June were
Answer:
103,500 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units calculation - conversion costs
Completed and transferred units (99,100 x 100 %) = 99,100 units
Ending Work in Process units (11000 x 40%) = 4,400 units
Total Equivalent units = 103,500 units
therefore,
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June were 103,500 units

Required:
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the total, price, and quantity variance for direct material, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (4.4 - 4.15)*90,500
Direct material price variance= $22,625 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8*11,250 - 90,500)*4.4
Direct material quantity variance= $2,200 unfavorable
Total direct material variance= 22,625 - 2,200= $20,425 favorable
To calculate the total, rate, and efficiency variance for direct labor, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.2*11,250 - 14,250)*13.4
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,050 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (13.4 - 14.1)*14,250
Direct labor rate variance= $9,975 unfavorable
Total direct labor variance= -10,050 - 9,975= $20,025 unfavorable
The beauty of an economic model comes from:______.
a. its ability to represent a complex reality without any simplification.
b. its ability to make clear predictions that are consistent with reality.
c. its simplicity in presenting the essential elements of an otherwise complex reality.
d. b and c.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An economic model is a simplified abstraction of reality. An economic model aims to present economic reality in a simplified form. it also aims to make accurate prediction consistent with reality.
for example, the law of demand is an example of an economic model.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
this economic model is true because rational human beings tend to purchase more of normal goods when the price is lower than when the price is higher.

Assume that the company requires a 12% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any, should be acquired.
Required:
Compute the internal rate of return for project C2.
Answer:
c3 should be acquired
8.52%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
C1
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $12,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $180,000
I = 12%
NPV = -12,634.66
C2
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 108,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 60,000
I = 12%
NPV = -12,334
IRR = 8.52%
C3
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 168,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 48,000
I = 12%
NPV = 32,696.06
It is only c3 that has a positive NPV. Thus, it is the only profitable project. Only C3 should be accepted
To determine the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To determine the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
c2 = 12,334
c3 = 32,696.06
Compute Lead Time Jackson Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 40 parts. A part requires 6 minutes in milling and 8 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 5 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 5 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Traditional Philosophy Lean Manufacturing Philosophy Value-added time fill in the blank 1 min fill in the blank 2 min Non-value-added time fill in the blank 3 min fill in the blank 4 min Total lead time fill in the blank 5 min fill in the blank 6 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) fill in the blank 7 % fill in the blank 8 %
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Traditional philosophy:
Value added time = 6 + 8 = 14
Non-value-added time = 14 × (40-1) + 5 = 551
Total lead time = 14 + 551 = 565
Value-added ratio (as a percent) = 14/565 × 100 = 2.48%
Lean Manufacturing Philosophy:
Value added time = 14
Non-value-added time = 14 × (5-1) = 56
Total lead time = 14 + 56 = 70
Value-added ratio (as a percent) = 14/70 × 100 = 20%

Sales $ 100,000 Operating expenses $ 94,000 Operating assets $ 40,000 Stockholder's equity $ 25,000 Cost of capital 10 % What is Sweet Dreams Company's return on investment (ROI)
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Given that :
Operating expenses = $94000
Operating assets = $40,000
Sales = $100,000
Return on investment = profit / operating asset
Profit = sales - operating expenses
Profit = (100,000 - 94000) = $6000
Return on investment = $6000 / $40000 = 0.15
= 0.15 * 100% = 15%
