You work in the finance division of a company listed in the Stock Exchange. You have just learned that your supervisor has been using infomation on quarterty retums, prior to the time they are made public, to trade in the company's stock. Is this unethical? If yes, name the elhical issue. Explain why you think there is or not an ethical issue
Answer:
Yes it is. Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.Explanation:
Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.
Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.
Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.
Last year Viera Corp had $155,000 of assets, $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes a new computer program will enable it to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $33,000. Assets, total invested capital, sales, and the debt to capital ratio would not be effected. By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Calculation for By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE
First step
Debt value = $155,000 × 37.5%
Debt value = $58,125
Second step
Equity value = $155,000 - $58,125
Equity value $96,875
Third step
= (Net income ÷ Total equity) × 100
Ratio = ($20,000 ÷ $96,875) × 100 = 20.65%
New ROE would be = ($33,000 ÷ $96,875) × 100 = 34.06%
Fourth step
Change in ROE= New ROE - Old ROE
ROE= 34.06% - 20.65%
ROE= 13.41%
Therefore By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE is 13.41%
Quality improvement, relevant costs, relevant revenues. SpeedPrint manufactures and sells 18,000 high-technology printing presses each year. The variable and fixed costs of rework and repair are as follows:
Variable Cost Fixed Cost Total Cost
Rework Cost per hr. $79 $115 $194
Repair Cost
Customer Support cost/hr. 35 55 90
Transportation Cost/load 350 115 465
Warranty repair cost/hour 89 150 239
Speed Print’s current presses have a quality problem that causes variations in the shade of some colors. Its engineers suggest changing a key component in each press. The new component will cost $70 more than the old one. In the next year, however, Speed Print expects that with the new component it will
(1) save 14,000 hours of rework,
(2) save 850 hours of customer support,
(3) move 225 fewer loads,
(4) save 8,000 hours of warranty repairs, and
(5) sell an additional 140 printing presses, for a total contribution margin of $1,680,000. SpeedPrint believes that even as it improves quality, it will not be able to save any of the fixed costs of rework or repair. SpeedPrint uses a 1-year time horizon for this decision because it plans to introduce a new press at the end of the year.
1. Should SpeedPrint change to the new component? Show your calculations.
2. Suppose the estimate of 140 additional printing presses sold is uncertain. What is the minimum number of additional printing presses that SpeedPrint needs to sell to justify adopting the new component?
3. What other factors should managers at SpeedPrint consider when making their decision about changing to a new component?
Answer:
1. Speed print SHOULD CHANGE to the new component
2. Since the new components incremental cost of the amount of $1,260,000 is lesser than the incremental savings of the amount of $1,926,500 which means that it will be of benefit if SpeedPrint invest in the new component.
3. Nonfinancial factors
Explanation:
1. Calculation to show whether Speed print
should change to the new component
First step is to calculate the Relevant costs
Relevant costs = $70 *18,000 copiers
Relevant costs= $1,260,000
Second step is to calculate Relevant Benefits
RELEVANT BENEFITS
Savings in rework costs $1,106,000
($79 *14,000 hours)
Add Savings in customer-support costs $29,750
($35 *850 hours)
Add Savings in transportation costs for parts $78,750
($350 *225 fewer loads)
Add Savings in warranty repair costs $712,000
($89 *8,000 repair-hours)
Add Contribution margin from increased sales $1,680,000
Cost savings and additional contribution margin $3,606,500
($1,106,000+$29,750+$78,750+$712,000+$1,680,000)
Based on the above calculation relevant benefits of the amount of $3,606,500 is higher than the relevant costs of the amount of $1,260,000 which means that Speed print
SHOULD CHANGE to the new component.
2. Based on the above calculation it shows that the new components incremental cost of the amount of $1,260,000 is lesser than the incremental savings of the amount of $1,926,500 which means that it will be of benefit if SpeedPrint invest in the new component.
Calculation for INCREMENTAL SAVINGS
Savings in rework costs $1,106,000
($79 *14,000 rework hours)
Add Savings in customer-support costs $29,750
($35 *850 customer-support hours)
Add Savings in transportation costs for parts $78,750
($350 *225 fewer loads)
Add Savings in warranty repair costs $712,000
($89 *8,000 repair-hours)
Incremental savings $1,926,500
($1,106,000 + $29,750 + $78,750 + $712,000)
3. The factors that the managers at SpeedPrint should consider when making their decision about changing to a new component will be NON-FINANCIAL FACTORS.

sally borrowed $1000 from her friend monique two years ago. their arrangement required sally to repay $250 each year for the subsequent four years. Today with two paymewnts remaining on the loan, Sally offers to repay the loan with a single payment of $475. Assuming no change in interest rates throughout the entire time, should monique accept the signle $475 payment today, why or why not
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. yes, 475 is more than the PV of the two remaining payments
B. More information is needed to decide
C. Monique is indifferent between the options, the PVs are equivalent
D. No, the PV of the remaining two payments is more than 475
We have to determine the present value of the remaining two payments and compare the options
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = 0
Cash flow in year 3 = 250
Cash flow in year 4 = 250
I = 2%
PV = $466.54
$475 is greater than $466.54. Therefore, she should accept the single $475 payment
To find the PV 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
Inattentive Driving. While cutting class and driving off campus to check on her new dress for the upcoming formal, Molly, a busy college student, is busy talking on her cell phone with her friend Sharon. Molly is trying to talk Sharon into going to the dance with her brother, who has a big crush on Sharon. Unfortunately for Molly, there is a statute in her state outlawing talking on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Molly crashes into the side of Sam's new convertible when she looks down to pick up a can of soda she just dropped onto her new jeans. A police officer just down the street comes over to investigate. Molly explains to him that it was difficult to hold the cell phone in one hand, the soda in the other, and also drive. The officer was not impressed. Around that time Sam comes along. He is furious regarding the significant dent in his new car. Molly says she has insurance and that she will cover the whole incident. Sam says that is insufficient. The officer is annoyed because it is his lunch break. He tells Molly that she must obey the law and proceeds to write several citations to her. Which of the following is true regarding Molly's predicament?
A. Public law only.
B. Private law only.
C. Public law, private law, civil law, and criminal law.
D. Criminal law and public law only.
E. Civil law and private law only.
Answer:
C.

Under civil law, Molly has caused damages to sam's car and she has to be held liable for this.
She has also violated criminal law as her action is against the public as a unit. She violated this by driving and endangering the lives of people by talking on phone while driving.
She has also violated public alw as criminal law is one of the types of public law.
She is in violation of private law by causing damages to sam's car. Private law has to do with the relationship existing between people, one of such example is the law of property.

You are considering buying stock A. If the economy grows rapidly, you may earn 40 percent on the investment, while a declining economy could result in a 15 percent loss. Slow economic growth may generate a return of 3 percent. If the probability is 19 percent for rapid growth, 39 percent for a declining economy, and 42 percent for slow growth, what is the expected return on this investment
Answer:
3.01%
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the expected return on this investment
Expected return =(0.19)(0.40) + (0.42)(0.03) + (0.39)(-0.15)
Expected return=0.076+0.0126+-0.0585
Expected return=0.0301*100
Expected return=3.01%
Therefore the expected return on this investment will be 3.01%

Which of the statements is the best description of inflation? The prices of only consumer goods are increasing. The price of all goods and services have increased proportionately. The price of all goods and services in the economy are increasing. Real GDP is rising. An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Answer:
An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Mathematically, inflation is given by the formula;
Inflation = Nominal interest - Real interest rate
Hence, the best description of inflation is an increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Additionally, economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
Hence, macroeconomic is a kind of externalities that affects the levels of unemployment, inflation, or growth in the economy as a whole.

c. $258
d. $541
Answer:
b. $327
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed portion is shown below:
But before that variable maintenance expense per direct labor is
= ($610 - $585) ÷ (34000 hours - 31000 hours)
= $0.00833 per direct labor hour
Now
Total variable expense for 34,000 hours is
= $0.00833 × 34000
= $283
And, finally Fixed portion is
= $610 - $283
= $327
On January 1, 2020, Stream Company acquired 30 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Q-Video, Inc., for $770,000. Q-Video manufactures specialty cables for computer monitors. On that date, Q-Video reported assets and liabilities with book values of $1.9 million and $700,000, respectively. A customer list compiled by Q-Video had an appraised value of $300,000, although it was not recorded on its books. The expected remaining life of the customer list was five years with straight-line amortization deemed appropriate. Any remaining excess cost was not identifiable with any particular asset and thus was considered goodwill. Q-Video generated net income of $250,000 in 2020 and a net loss of $100,000 in 2021. In each of these two years, Q-Video declared and paid a cash dividend of $15,000 to its stockholders. During 2020, Q-Video sold inventory that had an original cost of $100,000 to Stream for $160,000. Of this balance, $80,000 was resold to outsiders during 2020, and the remainder was sold during 2021. In 2021, Q-Video sold inventory to Stream for $175,000. This inventory had cost only $140,000. Stream resold $100,000 of the inventory during 2021 and the rest during 2022. For 2020 and then for 2021, compute the amount that Stream should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method. (Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Stream Company
The amount that Stream Company should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method:
2020 = $75,000
2021 = ($30,000)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity share in Q-Video, Inc. = 30%
Cost of equity investment = $770,000
Q-Video Profits and dividends Stream's share
2020 net income = $250,000 $75,000 ($250,000 * 30%)
2021 net loss of $100,000 ($30,000) ($100,000 * 30%)
2020 dividends = $15,000 $4,500 ($15,000 * 30%)
2021 dividends = $15,000 $4,500 ($15,000 * 30%)
b)The equity method is used by Stream Company because its investment in Q-Video, Inc. is less than 51% and more than 20%. Under the equity method, Stream accounts for its share of net income and net loss. The investment is initially recorded at cost. Adjustments are then made to the cost balance at the end of every period by increasing it with the share of net income and decreasing it with its share of net loss and dividends received.

Solution :
Annual payment = [tex]$\$ 5000$[/tex]
1. The rate of interest annually = 12%
Present value [tex]$=\$5000 \times \text{PVA of} \ \$1(12\%, 5)$[/tex]
[tex]$=\$5000 \times 3.60478$[/tex]
= $ 18,023.90
2. The rate of interest annually = 12%
Present value [tex]$=\$5000 \times \text{PVAD of} \ \$1(12\%, 5)$[/tex]
[tex]$=\$5000 \times 4.03735$[/tex]
= $ 20,186.75
3. The rate of interest annually = 12%
The rate of interest quarterly = 3%
Present value = [tex]$\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 4) + \$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 8) +\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 12) $[/tex] [tex]$+\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 16) + \$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 16)$[/tex]

Use the following information to compute the cost of direct materials used for the current year. Assume the raw materials inventory account is used only for direct materials. (Assume no indirect materials.) January 1 December 31
January 1 December 31
Inventories
Raw materials inventory $6,000 7,500
Work in process inventory 12,000 9,000
Finished goods inventory 8,500 5,500
Activity during the current year
Materials purchased $123,500
Direct labor 94,000
Factory overhead 39,000
Answer:
the direct material used is $122,000
Explanation:
The computation of the direct material used is shown below:
= Opening raw material inventory + material purchased - ending raw material inventory
= $6,000 + $123,500 - $7,500
= $122,000
Hence, the direct material used is $122,000
At the end of April, the first month of the company's year, the usual adjusting entry transferring rent earned to a revenue account from the unearned rent account was omitted. Indicate which items will be incorrectly stated, because of the error, on (a) the income statement for April and (b) the balance sheet as of April 30. Also indicate whether the items in error will be overstated or understated.
Answer:
Overstatement is the situation where the amount of any item has been stated more than its actual figure
Understatement is the situation where the amount of any item has been stated less than its actual figure
a. The rent earned will be understated, as a result of which the income statement will give a lower net income.
b. Because of lower net income, retained earnings in stockholders' equity will be understated, and the liability account of unearned rent will be overstated
George Gershwin Co. sold $2,000,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds at 104 on January 1, 2020. The bonds were dated January 1, 2020, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Gershwin uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020.
Answer:
July 1, 2020 $96,000
December 31, 2020 $96,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020.
Firststep is to get calculate the Premium amortization (Straight-line)
Issue price of the bonds $2,080,000
($2,000,000 x 1.04)
Less Par value of bonds ($2,000,000)
Premium on bonds payable $80,000
÷ Numbet of interest payments 20 times
(10 years x 2 times)
= Premium amortization (Straight-line) $4,000
($80,000÷20 times)
Now let calculate the Interest expense
Interest payment $100,000
(2,000,000 x 10% x 6/12)
Less Premium amortization ($4,000)
Interest expense $96,000
($100,000-$4,000)
Hence,using the straight line method, Interest expense will be $96,000 for every time.
Therefore the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2020 is $96,000, and December 31, 2020 is $96,000

Quantitative Problem: Jenna is a single taxpayer. During 2018, she earned wages of $113,000. She doesn't itemize deductions, so she will take the standard deduction to calculate 2018 taxable income. In addition, during the year she sold common stock that she had owned for five years for a net profit of $5,200. How much does Jenna owe to the IRS for taxes
Solution :
Item Amount
Income $113,000
Personal exemption for one $ 4,050
Standard deduction $ 6,350
Taxable income $102,600
Therefore the taxable income is $102,600.
Now the tax payable on the taxable income is given by :
Marginal tax rate Amount brackets
10% $0 - $ 9,325
15% $ 9,326 - $ 37,950
25% $ 37,951 -$ 91,900
28% $ 91,901 - $ 191,650
Now according to the above taxable slab, the amount of tax on the wages earned by Jenna is :
Tax payable = [tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times (37950 - 9325))+(0.25 \times (91900 - 37950))+(0.28 \times (102600-91900))$[/tex][tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times 28625)+(0.25 \times 53950)+(0.28 \times 10700)$[/tex]
= 932.5 + 4293.75 + 13487.50 + 2996
= $ 21,709.75
There is also a long term capital gain of $ 5,200 that is earned by selling the common stock.
Now as per IRS, the capital gain of a long term tax percentage for an individual single filer is in 28% tax slab category is 15%.
Therefore the tax on the capital gain of $ 5,200 is = 0.15 x 5200
= $780
Thus the total tax payable by Jenna is = $ 21,709.75 + $ 780
= $ 22,489.75

For each of the following scenarios, please decide whether there will be an increase, decrease, or no change in aggregate demand.
a. The United States government decides to increase the federal tax rate by 4% for all earners.
b. The Federal Reserve, the agency charged with regulating banking and monetary policy in the United States, decides to increase the amount of money available in the economy.
c. The newest release of the Consumer Confidence Index shows a steady increase in consumer confidence about the economy.
d. A manufacturing boom during the late 1990s has created an oversupply of tractors, a necessary implement in agricultural production.
Answer:
a. Decrease
If the Federal government increases taxes on people, they will have less money to spend and save after paying their taxes. This will reduce their consumption and investment (savings) thereby leading to a lower aggregate demand.
b. Increase
An increase in the money supply means that people will have more money to spend on goods and services. They will therefore consume more. More money in the economy reduces interest rates so people will borrow to invest more as well. These two things will combine for an increase in aggregate demand.
c. Increase
If consumers are more confident about their economy, it means they find it safe to invest in it. As they invest, the investment component of aggregate demand would rise which would increase aggregate demand.
d. Decrease
The oversupply from recent years will mean that investment required in recent years will be less. This will lead to a lower aggregate demand.
A company produces and sells hair dryers in a market where price (p) and demand (D) are related follows: p = $35+ (3,000)/D-(4,800)/D2 The fixed cost (Ct) is $800 per month and the variable cost per hair dryer (c.) is $38. - Add to % E Q
With reference to the company in Question 1, assume price and demand are unrelated. The company sells the hair dryers for $80 each if they spend $8,000 per month on advertising (C.). CF and c, remain as indicated in Question 1. The maximum production capacity is 5,000 hair dryers per month.
a) What is the demand breakeven point?
b) Is the company's demand breakeven point (in %) more sensitive to 10% increase in sales price or 20% reduction in variable costs? Explain your answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
[tex]p = 35 + \dfrac{3000}{D}- \dfrac{4800}{D^2}[/tex]
The total revenue = p × D
∴
multiplying both sides by D; we have:
[tex]p\times D = 35 \times D + \dfrac{3000}{D} \times D- \dfrac{4800}{D^2}\times D[/tex]
[tex]= 35 D +3000}{D} - \dfrac{4800}{D}[/tex]
The total cost = (Per unit Variable cost × D) + Advertising cost
The total cost = 38D + 8000
The selling price = 80
From D units, the total revenue = 80D
∴
The break-even will take place when total revenue equals total cost.
So;
8000 + 38D = 80D
8000 = 80 D - 38D
8000 =42D
D = 8000/42
D = 190.48
(b)
Suppose the new sales price
Then;
8000 + 38D = 88D
8000 = 88D - 38D
8000 = 50D
D = 160
Hence, the break-even decreases by:
[tex]\Big(\dfrac{190.48-160}{190.48}\times 100\Big) = 16\%[/tex]
However; suppose the variable cost = 30.4
Then;
8000 + 30.4D = 80D
8000 = 80D - 30.4D
8000 = 49.6D
D = 8000/49.6
D = 161.29
Therefore;
This implies that the break-even decreased by:
[tex]\Big(\dfrac{190.48-161.29}{190.48}\times 100\Big) = 15.32\%[/tex]
Hence, the break-even is more likely to change by 10% in its selling price.
Olympic Sports has two issues of debt outstanding. One is a 5% coupon bond with a face value of $33 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a yield to maturity of 6%. The coupons are paid annually. The other bond issue has a maturity of 15 years, with coupons also paid annually, and a coupon rate of 6%. The face value of the issue is $38 million, and the issue sells for 90% of par value. The firm's tax rate is 30%.
a. What is the before-tax cost of debt for Olympic? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is Olympic's after-tax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. For before tax cost of debt
But before that following calculations need to be determined
For Bond 1:
Face value = $33,000,000
Coupon payment = 0.05 × $33,000,000 = $1,650,000
The Price of the bond is
= Coupon × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + r)^n] ÷ r + FV ÷ ( 1 + r)^n
= $1,650,000 × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10] ÷ 0.06 + $33,000,000 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10
= 1,650,000 × 7.360087 + 18,427,027.64
= $30,571,171.196
For Bond 2:
Price = 0.9 × $38,000,000
= $34,200,000
Now
Coupon = 0.06 × $38,000,000
= $2,280,000
Now before tax cost of debt is
Given that
PV -$34,200,000,
FV $38,000,000,
N 15,
PMT $2,280,000
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT, PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the Before tax cost of debt of bond is 7.1053%
Now
Total market value is
= $34,200,000 + $30,571,171.196
= $64,771,171.19
And,
finally
Before tax cost of debt for olympic is
= ($30,571,171.196 ÷ 64,771,171.19) × 0.06 + ($34,200,000 ÷ 64,771,171.19) × 0.071053
= 0.028319 + 0.037517
= 0.0658 or 6.58%
b)
And,
After tax cost of debt is
= 0.0658× ( 1 - 0.3)
= 0.0461 or 4.61%
