Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

6.5017%

Explanation:

Given that,

Total cost of a college education when your child enters college in 16 years, Future value = $200,000

Amount today to invest, present value = $73,000

Time period = 16 years

Therefore,

Annual rate of interest:

FV=PV(1+r)^(t)

200,000=73,000(1+r)^(16)

r =((200,000)/(73,000))^{(1)/(16)}-1

r = 6.5017%

Therefore, the annual rate of interest you must earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child’s college education is 6.5017%.

so that expenditure will be added to value of asset

so  

total expenditure is = $10000 + $10000 + $10000 + $1000 =  $31000

so $31000 will be allowed as expenditure

Wahoo just issued preferred stock at a semiannual dividend of $2 per share. If you have an annual discount rate as an investor of 8%, how much the price of the preferred stock should be

Answers

Answer:

The price of the preferred stock should be $ 50.

Explanation:

Price of the issued preferred stock: semianual dividend of $2 per share.

Annual discount rate: 8%

With these details we are able to perfom the following calculations:

Annual Preferred Dividend = Semi Annual Dividend x 2

= $2.00 x 2 = $4.00 per share

Then we know that the Price of Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend per share on Preferred Stock / Discount Rate

So this is= $4.00 per share / 0.08

= $50.00 per share. Price of the preferred stock

Data concerning a recent period’s activity in the Prep Department, the first processing department in a company that uses process costing, appear below: Materials Conversion Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory 2,200 940 Cost per equivalent unit $ 15.26 $ 6.13 A total of 20,200 units were completed and transferred to the next processing department during the period. Required: 1. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total. 2. Compute the cost of the units completed and transferred out for materials, conversion, and in total. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answers

Answer:

total ending WIP value        39,334.20

transferred-out                   432.078.00

Explanation:

Ending work in proces inventory

we multiply the equivalent units by the cost per equivlent unit

materials 2,200 x 15.26  =  33,572

converion  940  x   6.13  =    5,762.2

then, we add them to get thetotal value of the ending WIP

 total ending WIP value     39,334,2‬

for the transferred out, we add both equivalent cost as this are complete.

And multiply by the whole amount 20,200

trasnferred out: 20,200 x (15.26 + 6.13) = 432.078

Your client, Brooke, decides to start saving for her son's college tuition. Her son was born today and will go to college at age 18 for four years. Brooke wants to save until her son's first year of college. Given the following information, what is the present value of the total amount that Brooke needs to have saved at the beginning of her son's first year of college? Current tuition: $15,000 Tuition inflation: 6.5% Brooke's investment return: 10%

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the total amount that Brooke needs to have saved at the beginning of her son's first year of college is 31.959,13

Explanation:

Tuition Fees after inflation at

Year 18 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)18 = 46599.8157

Year 19 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)19 = 49628.8037

Year 20 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)20 =  52854.6759

Year 21 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)21 =  56290.2299

Since discount rate = 10%

So discount factor = 1+r = 1+10% = 1.1

Since fees are paid at beginning of period hence

Present Value of Fees = Fees (year 18)/1.1^18 +Fees at Year 19/1.1^19 +Fees at Year 20/1.1^20 + Fees at year 21/1.1^21 = 46599.8157/1.1^18 +  49628.8037/1.1^19 +  52854.6759/1,1^20 + 56290.2299^21 = 31959.13
