James Perkins wants to have a million dollars at retirement, which is 15 years away. He already has $200,000 in an IRA earning 8 percent annually. How much does he need to save each year, beginning at the end of this year, to reach his target

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Given :

James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.

His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.

Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = [tex]2000000 \times( 1.08)^{15}[/tex]

                                                                     = $ 634,434.

Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434

                                                           = $ 365,566

Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :

[tex]FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}][/tex]

Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566

            A = periodical investment

            k = interest rate = 8%

            n = period = 15 years

∴[tex]365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}[/tex]

       A = 13,464

Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.

Delta airlines is consider purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million and will produce net cash flow of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Delta plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Delta's cost of capital is 12% and the inflation is expected to be zero. what is the equivalent annual annuity of plane A

Answers

Answer:

$2.26 million

Explanation:

Plane A:

Initial outlay = $100 million

Annual cash flows = $30 million

Expected life = 5 years

Cost of capital = 12%

EAW = (r x NPV) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]

Using a financial calculator: NPV = $8.14 million

EAW = (12% x $8.14) / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻⁵] = $0.9768 / 0.432573 = $2.2581 ≈ $2.26 million

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $134 per unit and whose variable expense is $67 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $31,750. Required: 1. Calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $8,450. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 2. Calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $9,700.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $31,750

Unitary contribution margin= 134 - 67= $67

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Desired profit= $8,450

Break-even point in units= (31,750 + 8,450) / 67

Break-even point in units= 600

Now, the desired profit is $9,700; we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (31,750 + 9,700) / (67/134)

Break-even point (dollars)= 41,450 / 0.5

Break-even point (dollars)= $82,900

You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83

Answers

Answer:

$1,394,509.68

Explanation:

Savings amount = $5200

Period = 36 years

Interest = 9.54 percent

We solve for the future value of the annuity

= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x 268.1749

= 1,394,509.681 dollars

Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Scampini Technologies is expected to generate $175 million in free cash flow next year, and FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% per year indefinitely. Scampini has no debt or preferred stock, and its WACC is 10%. If Scampini has 55 million shares of stock outstanding, what is the stock's value per share

Answers

Answer:

the stock value per share is $53

Explanation:

The computation of the stock value per share is shown below:

Value of operations = Free cash flows ÷ ( Capitalization Rate - growth rate )

= $175 Million ÷ ( (10% - 4%)

= $2,917  

Now stock value per share is

= $2,917 ÷  55 million shares

= $53 per share

Hence, the stock value per share is $53

A stock has an average expected return of 9.7 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.34. The T-Bill rate is 5.2% and the T-Bond rate is 3%. What is the market risk premium

Answers

Answer:

3.4%

Explanation:

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

9.7 = 5.2 + 1.34(x - 5.2)

9.7 - 5.2 =  1.34(x - 5.2)

3.35 = x - 5.2

In order to update a production process, a company can spend money now or four years from now. If the amount now would be $20,000, what equivalent amount could the company spend four years from now at a compound interest rate of 15% per year?(All the alternatives presented below were calculated using compound interest factor tables including all decimal places

Answers

Answer: $34,980.13

Explanation:

The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.

The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴

= $34,980.13

CDB stock is currently priced at $77. The company will pay a dividend of $5.37 next year and investors require a return of 11.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock

Answers

Answer:

4.82%

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

77 = 5.37 / (0.118 - g)

77(0.118 - g)  =5.37

(0.118 - g) = 5.37 / 77

(0.118 - g) = 0.069740

g = 0.118 - 0.069740

g = 0.04826

g = 4.82%

Bryant Investments is putting out a new product. The product will pay out $32,000 in the first year, and after that the payouts will grow by an annual rate of 2.75 percent forever. If you can invest the cash flows at 7.25 percent, how much will you be willing to pay for this perpetuity

Answers

Answer:

PV= $711,111.11

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow (Cf)= $32,000

Annual growth (g)= 2.75%

Interest rate (i)= 7.25%

To calculate the present value (the amount that you are willing to pay), we need to use the following formula:

PV= Cf / (i - g)

PV= 32,000 / (0.0725 - 0.0275)

PV= $711,111.11

Porter Corp. purchased its own par value stock on January 1, 2014 for $20,000 and debited the treasury stock account for the purchase price. The stock was subsequently sold for $12,000. The $8,000 difference between the cost and sales price should be recorded as a deduction from
a. additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net "gains" from sales of the same class of stock are included therein; otherwise, from retained earnings.
b. additional paid-in capital without regard as to whether or not there have been previous net "gains" from sales of the same class of stock included therein.
c. retained earnings.
d. net income.

Answers

Answer: a. additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net "gains" from sales of the same class of stock are included therein; otherwise, from retained earnings.

Explanation:

When a stock is sold for higher than its par value, the additional value is recorded in the additional paid-in capital account as a gain to equity.

If a treasury stock is sold for less than its cost, the difference between the selling price and the cost will be deducted from the additional paid in capital account but the only amount that is deductible is the gain that the company has made so far from selling stock above their par value.

If the loss from the treasury stock is more than this gain, the remainder will be deducted from the retained earnings account.

Explain the concept of a Pereto Chart - provide an example - explain how the concept of the Pereto Chart might be used in making decisioins about handling negative risks which could impact a project or organization.

Answers

Answer:

a. A Pareto Chart is a graph that shows the frequency of flaws and their overall impact.

b. For instance, by using Pareto Charts, you might discover that putting in 13% of the effort yields 87% of the results. Alternatively, 30% of underlying causes might be addressed to solve 70% of problems.

c. Pareto charts are important for deciding which defects or negative risks should be prioritized in order to achieve the best overall results.

Explanation:

a. Explain the concept of a Pereto Chart

A Pareto Chart is a graph that shows the frequency of flaws and their overall impact. A Pareto chart is a fundamental quality tool that can be used to identify the most common problems, complaints, or any other countable and categorizeable factor. A Pareto chart is a form of graph that includes both bars and a line graph, with bars representing individual values in descending order and a line representing the cumulative total.

b. Provide an example

The Pareto Principle explains how there is frequently a lack of symmetry between the labor you do and the outcomes you get. For instance, by using Pareto Charts, you might discover that putting in 13% of the effort yields 87% of the results. Alternatively, 30% of underlying causes might be addressed to solve 70% of problems.

b. Explain how the concept of the Pereto Chart might be used in making decisioins about handling negative risks which could impact a project or organization.

A Pareto diagram is used to distinguish between the important and inconsequential components of a problem. It frequently shows the most common sources of defects, the most common type of fault, the most common grounds for customer complaints, and so on in quality control.

Therefore, Pereto Chart might be used in making decisioins about handling negative risks which could impact a project or organization as it allows a project team or an organisation to know where to focus their improvement efforts by graphically distinguishing the parts of an issue. Pareto charts are therefore important for deciding which defects or negative risks should be prioritized in order to achieve the best overall results.

A corporate bond returns 12 percent of its cost (in PV terms) in the first year, 11 percent in the second year, 10 percent in the third year and the remainder in the fourth year. What is the bond's duration in years?

Answers

Answer: 3.32 years

Explanation:

The remainder return in the fourth year will be calculated as:

= 1 - 0.12 - 0.11 - 0.10

= 0.67

Year 1:

Return = 12% = 0.12

Year × Return = 1 × 0.12 = 0.12

Year 2

Return = 11% = 0.11

Year × Return = 2 × 0.11 = 0.22

Year 3

Return = 10% = 0.10

Year × Return = 0.30

Year 4

Return = 0.67

Year × Return = 2.68

Bond's duration = 0.12 + 0.22 + 0.30 + 2.68 = 3.32 years

The ability to say, "I cannot agree to your offer because the manager does not let me do so or since company policy does not allow you to do so" is an effective way of saying 'no' and of finding out how hard it is for the rest to work to reach a better understanding. One way to simultaneously limit your power and gain power is through corporate limitations.

Authority organizational restrictions are common. Each of us met such limits without much resistance and accepted them. When you next wish to think about or try to make further concessions, tell the other party you should discuss the issue with one or more of your organization's following people:

Your boss. Your partner."Committee" members.One or more of your assistants.One or several of your colleagues.The accountant or the controller.Your lawyer. The banker who loans money for you.Your wife or friend. Managers in other departments such as production, quality, or sales.Your client.Your supplier.

Most negotiators feel uncomfortable with their authority's corporate constraints. I would advise you not to reject these restrictions, but to welcome them. It will facilitate pushing for your desired agreement.

bartleby Clayborn Corporation's net cash provided by operating activities was $118,800; its net income was $106,100; its income taxes were $46,900; its capital expenditures were $96,300; and its cash dividends were $30,200. Required: Determine the company's free cash flow. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answers

Answer: -$7,700

Explanation:

The Free Cash Flow is the amount of after tax income that a company has that can go to both its shareholders and debt holders.

When using cash from operating activities, taxes have already been accounted for so it is calculated as:

= Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditure - Cash Dividends

= 118,800 - 96,300 - 30,200

= -$7,700

The most important function of the Fed is to A. buy and sell government securities. B. collect taxes. C. provide a system for collecting and clearing checks. D. regulate the money supply.

Answers

Answer:

D. regulate the money supply.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve System (popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.

Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America, which are commonly referred to as Federal Reserve District Bank.

Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;

I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.

II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."

III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.

Additionally, the Fed is saddled with the responsibility of selling government securities such as treasury bills to the public.

However, the most important function of the Fed is to regulate the money supply through the establishment of monetary policies.

Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank (Fed) uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country.
