a. 16.7%.
b. 20.0%.
c. 12.5%.
d. n/a.
Answer:

Explanation:
Calculation for Your total return based on U.S. dollars
Total return=(2,440 pounds*$1.61)- (2,340 pounds*$1.52)/ (2,340 pounds*$1.52)
Total return=$3,928.4-$3,556.8/$3,556.8
Total return=$371.60/$3,556.8
Total return=0.1045*100
Total return=10.45%
Therefore Your total return based on U.S. dollars was 10.45%
What is the percentage return on a stock that was purchased for $48.40, paid a $1.67 dividend, and was then sold after one year for $46.20?
a) -1.10%
b) -2.50%
c) 0.23%
d) -0.33%
Answer:
a) -1.10%
Explanation:
To calculate the holding period return we will use the foloowinf formula
Holding Period return = ( Dividend Income + Price appreciation ) / Initial price
Where
Dividend Income = $1.67
Price appreciation = Selling Price - Initial price = $46.20 - $48.40 = -$2.20
Initial Price = $48.40
Placing the above values in the formula of Holding period return
Holding period return = ( $1.67 + ( -$2.2 ) ) / $48.40
Holding period return = ( $1.67 - $2.2 ) / $48.40
Holding period return = -$0.53 / $48.40
Holding period return = -0.01095
Holding period return = -1.095%
Holding period return = -1.10%

Your salary is 120,000 per year. Your paycheck is cut monthly. You will receive this amount for the next 30 years. Assume that APR is 12%, what is the present value of your life time income
Answer:
$972,183.30
Explanation:
your monthly salary is $120,000 / 12 = $10,000
you will work for 30 years or 360 months
APR = 12%, so monthly discount rate = 12% / 12 = 1%
Present value = $10,000 x annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 1%, 360 periods = 97.21833
present value = $10,000 x 97.21833 = $972,183.30
You have been offered a 10-year bond issued by Tiger Inc., at a price of $950.00. The bond has a coupon rate of 8% and pays the coupon semiannually. Similar bonds in the market offers a yield of 9% today. Should you buy the bonds at the offered price
Answer:
since the market price is lower than the offered price, you should reject this offer
Explanation:
bond's market value
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)²⁰ = $414.64
PV of coupon payments = $40 x 13.00794 (PV annuity factor, 20 periods, 4.5%) = $520.32
market price = $934.96
since the market price is lower than the offered price, you should reject this offer
On June 1 of the current year, Cross Corp. issued $300,000 of 8% bonds payable at par with interest payment dates of April 1 and October 1. In its income statement for the current year ended December 31, what amount of interest expense should Cross report?
a. $14,000.
b. $6,000.
c. $12,000.
d. $8,000.
Answer: amount of interest expense Cross should report =a. $14,000.
Explanation:
interest expense = Principal( Face value) x Rate x period( Time)
Carrying value of the bond ( face value ) =$300,000
Rate= 8%
year ended on December, therefore The interest expense recorded would be for four months ( From June 1 to December 31 )
Therefore the Interest Expense = $300,000 x 8% x 7/12
= $300,000 x 0.08 x 7/12
= $168,000/12
$14,000
The amount of interest expense Cross should report at the current year end is $14,000
Celeste transferred 100 percent of her stock in Supply Chain Company to Marketing Corporation in a Type A merger. In exchange, she received stock in Marketing with a fair market value of $562,000 + $562,000 in cash. Celeste's tax basis in the Supply Chain stock was $1,320,000. What amount of loss does Celeste recognize in the exchange and what is her basis in the Marketing stock she receives?
Answer: $196000

Firstly, we have to calculate the stock basis which will be the difference between the carryover Basis and the cash received. This will be:
= $1,320,000 - $562,000
= $758,000
If the sticks are being sold at $562,000, this will bring about a loss of:
= $758,000 - $562,000
= $196000

The information that follows relates to Khan Corporation:________.
Sales margin: 7.5%
Capital turnover: 2
Invested capital: $20,000,000
On the basis of this information, the company's sales revenue is:______.
A) $40,000,000.
B) $10,000,000.
C) $1,500,000.
D) $3,000,000.
E) None of the answers is correct.
Answer:40,000,000
Explanation:
Sales margin: 7.5%
Capital turnover: 2
Invested capital: $20,000,000
The company sales revenue will be calculated thus:
Capital turnover = Sales / Invested capital
Therefore, 2 = Sales / 20,000,000
Sales = 2 × 20,000,000
Sales = 40,000,000
Therefore,the company sales revenue is 40,000,000
g Stock A has a beta of 1.5. Stock B has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 12 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2 percent and both stocks have equal reward-to-risk ratios, what is the expected return on stock A
Answer:
14.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on stock A is shown below:
Given that
The expected return of stock b = 12%
beta = 1.2
Now
risk free rate = 2% market risk premium
So as per CAPM, the expected return = risk free rate + beta × market risk premium
0.12 = 0.02 + 1.2 × market risk premium
1.2 × market risk premium = 0.10
So,
market risk premium is
= 0.10 ÷ 1.2
= 0.0833 or 8.33%
Since they have equal risk reward so the market risk premium would be same for stock A
Now
The expected return of stock A is
= 2% + (1.5 × 8.33)
= 14.5%
Hassock Corp. produces woven wall hangings. It takes 3 hours of direct labor to produce a single wall hanging. Hassock standard labor cost is $13 per hour.

Standard= 3 hours of direct labor per unit
The standard labor cost is $13 per hour.
During August, Hassock produced 9,000 units and used 27,160 hours
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3*9,000 - 27,160)*13
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,080 unfavorable

Suppose, that after a successful career, a worker retired precisely as planned with precisely the amount saved that they intended. Upon retirement, they reduced their consumption and spent much less, living a much more simple life. Is this behavior consistent with the permanent income hypothesis?
Answer: Yes it is
Explanation:
The Permanent Income Hypothesis posits that human expenditure in the short term is based on the amount of income they expect to get as income over the long term.
If a person for instance, knows that they will receive a pay cut at the end of the year, they will probably spend less today to survive the pay cut.
Same goes for the worker in this scenario. They know that the amount they saved is all they have now and into the future so they are adjusting their expenses to ensure they survive on that saving.

the median of four numbers is 63.the three of the numbers are 60,62 and 92 what is the missing number
Answer: 64
Explanation:
To find the median of a number, we have to arrange the numbers that are given in either ascending or descending order.
In this case there are 4 numbers, let the fourth number be x, therefore the numbers will be:
60, 62, x and 92.
Since they are four numbers, the median will be the addition of the 2nd and 3rd number and then divided by 2. This will be:
(62 + x) / 2 = 63
62 + x = 126
x = 126 - 62
x = 64
The missing number is 64
