a) Terry wants to know the holding period return for a stock that he bought a year ago for $100 per share. The stock is now wort
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

holding period yield is 9.25%

Dividend yield is 0.25%

Capital gains yield is 9.00%

Explanation:

Holding period yield is the total return that accrues to an investment over a period which the investment is owned.

Holding period yield=(Current price-Initial price+dividend)/initial price

current price is $109

initial price is $100

dividend is $0.25

holding period yield =($109-$100+$0.25)/$100

                                  =9.25%

Dividend yield =dividend/initial price

                        =$0.25/$100

                        =0.25%

Capital gains yield=(Current price-initial price)/initial price

                              =($109-$100)?$100

                              =9.00%

Invariably holding period yield is the dividend yield plus capital gains yield.

Direct Material (7,400 × $7.50) $55,500  

Direct Labor (7,400 × $4.20) $31,080  

Variable overhead (7,400 × $8.30) $61,420  

Supervisors salary (7,400 × $3.20) $23,680  

Depreciation on special equipment $0                          $0

General overhead                    $3,400  

Purchase cost (7,400 × $27)                               $199,800

Opportunity cost                                               $(18,000)

Total Annual Cost                      $175,080                $181,800

b. As we can see that the total annual making cost is $175,080 and the total annual buying cost is $181,800 which increase the cost by $6,720. So in this case the company should make the product rather than buying them

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

equivalent cost per unit for labor: $4.1982

Explanation:

complete and transferred    165,000

work on ending WIP               16,500  //   22,000 x 75%

previous work on beginning (8,000) //  20,000 x 40%

Equivalent units                   173,500

labor cost added during the period 726,825

equivalent cost 726,825/173,500 = 4.198193084

equivalent cost per unit for labor: $4.1982

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the remaining part to complete the question:

1. In transaction (a), determine the present value of the debt.

2-a. In transaction (b), what single sum amount must the company deposit on January 1,?

2-b. What is the total amount of interest revenue that will be earned?

3. In transaction (c), determine the present value of this obligation.

4-a. In transaction (d), what is the amount of each of the equal annual payments that will be paid on the note?

4-b. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be incurred?

Explanation:

a) A sum of $6,000 is to be paid at the end of each year for 7 years and the principal amount $115,000 to be paid at the end of 7th year.

PV=$6,000/(1+0.07)^1 + $6,000/(1+0.07)^2 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^3 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^4 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^5 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^6 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^7 +$115,000/(1+0.07)^7

PV=$5,607.47 + $5,240.63 + $4,897.78 + $4,577.37 + $4,277.91 + $3,998.05 + $3,736.49 + $71,616.22

PV=$103,951.92

b) Let the single sum that will grow to $490,000 at 7% interest per annum at the end of 8 years be X

FV=PV(1+i)^n

$490,000 = X(1+0.07)^8

Thus,

X= $490,000/(1.07)^8

X = $490,000/1.7182

X = $285,182

Thhus, a single sum of $285,182 needs to be deposited for 8 years at 7% interest p.a.

The total amount of interest revenue is ($490,000-$285,182) = $204,818

c) PV = $75,000/(1.07)^1 + $112,500/(1.07)^2 + 150,000/(1.07)^3

PV = $70,093.45 + $98,261.85 + $122,444.68

= $290,800

FV =$75,000*(1.07)^1 + $112,500*(1.07)^2 + 150,000*(1.07)^3

= $80,250 + $85,867 + $91,878

= $257,995

d) The cost of the machine is $170,000. Immediate cash paid $34,000. Loan Amount is ($170,000-$34,000)=$136,000

The PVA factor at 7% p.a compounded annually for 5 years is 4.1002

Thus, the PMT = 136,000/4.1002

= $33,169

Thus, the amount of each annual payment is $33,169 for 5 years.

The total amount to be paid is ($34,000+$33,169*5)

=$34,000+$165845

=$199845

The interest expense is ($199845 - $170,000)

= $29,845
