Question Completion:
Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low
Answer:
Akram's Farm
Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:
1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit. The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers. But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.
2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the Accounts Receivable. Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts. The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.
Explanation:
Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company. The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.
Answer:
Option C 16.36% is correct.
Explanation:
We can find the growth using the following growth formula:
g = (Earning per share today / Earning per share n years ago)^(1/5) - 1
EPS of this year is $3.2 per share and 5 ago was $1.5 per share.
So by putting values we have:
g = (3.2 / 1.5) ^(1/5) - 1 = 16.36%
The right option is C.
Answer:
nominal interest rate = 4% annual
effective interest rate = 5.56% annual
Explanation:
the bond's nominal rate is basically the coupon rate
to calculate the bond's effective interest rate we must calculate its yield to maturity:
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - present value) / n]} / [(face value + present value) / 2]
- coupon = $1,000 x 4% x 1/2 = $20
- FV = $1,000
- PV = $800
- n = 40
YTM = [20 + [(1,000 - 800) / 40]} / [(1,000 + 800) / 2]
YTM = 25 / 900 = 2.777 semiannual ⇒ 5.56% annual
Answer: None
