Roger that. Small thing: If you define your breakpoints as 89, 79, ..., as I have in my example, rather than 90, 80, etc., then your inequalities in the formula can be strict ">" rather than of the...

You can. Excel's IF() operates like C's (if this ? then this : otherwise this). Taking advantage of the left-to-right processing of the nested IFs:

=IF(D3 > 89, "A", IF(D3 > 79, "B", IF(D3 > 69,...

You're on the right track, just need a couple more steps. You've applied the discount factors to the asset's pre-tax annual profits, but you should first compute the after-tax cash flow before...

Welcome to the site, Hadel,

Are you saying that you've been provided in the problem's information the various curves in function (algebraic equation) form, or can derive them from the given info?...

While smoothy's answer would doubtlessly be accepted as accurate by most current mainstream texts in the Western Hemisphere, it should be pointed out that there exists a school of thought---one...

Your avg and stdev calcs for the individual securities are fine. You'll need to post your steps in the blended portfolio calcs in order to debug it.

Just to get you aimed right and started towards first base:

If p is the unit price at the register (in dollars, presumably), note that in the post-tax scenario, (p + 0.3) is the effective price...

Kind of late for the party, but FWIW, your probability "ceiling" for a problem like this is given by the ratio
L / (L + P)

where L and P are, respectively, the net loss incurred on an unsold...

For this purpose, Retained Earnings is similar to a bank account. While not actually the same, Retained Earnings and bank accounts do have something in common:

The beginning balance (at any given...

Impossible to say without a lot more data.

• The built-in contract and the "many customers" parts are certainly positives, but how many dollars they add to the economic value of the biz is a...

You can assume that the variable costs for this special 40-unit order will be the same as it is for the regular 2009 operations.

From the 2009 data you're given that total variable costs were...

No. However, if you intend for these assets to remain permanently as LLC assets henceforth, you should record them on the books as owner contributions to capital. If you intend to bring them back out...

From what you've described, they're not on a purely cash basis, but rather on something of a hybrid. They used an accrual-basis approach to recording their December payroll, by recording not just the...

Yup, my bad... forgot about the employee portion (withholdings) of the taxes.

Then if the company is on a strictly cash basis, it only recorded a salaries / wages expense in Dec for the net pay...

The appropriate procedure depends on whether the company is on the cash basis of accounting or on the accrual method.

If the former, the January payments for the Dec payroll taxes would just be...

Nice copy-n-paste job on the question, right down to the percentage credits for each part. Hence you're part way there. Now (per the homework-help rules you read earlier, surely) just show your work...

Start by setting up two equations---using the given data---which incorporate the two unknowns.

Let C denote the number of coffee cases, and T the number of tea cases.

One of your equalities...

From Sales and Net Profit Margin you can derive Net Income.

From Net Income and Return on Equity you can derive amount of Equity.

From Equity and Assets you can determine Debt.

From Debt and...

I'd record the reimbursement as a reduction of your meeting expense rather than as a revenue item. Just a personal bias on my part, from two arguable reasons:

• If the other party reimburses you...

Can you get your hands on either the tax returns for one or more years immediately preceding 2007, or the checkbook register (and/or bank statement copies) for such time? From these it might be...

It's possible---though by no means certain---that it's OK as it sits. First, remember that cash or bank accounts, and equity accounts, are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they frequently go...

Both your answer and your rationale are correct, as profitability is one of the fundamental drivers of supply.

The second part of the question, though, deserves a little thought. For a firm...

1 and 2 are good.

In 3, remember that you're selling the asset bought in Event 2. Hence the credit should reflect that particular asset.

Also in 3, I don't see any basis for assuming the asset...

The only way to answer that one with any certainty is to look carefully at the wording, definitions, etc. the specific agency in question uses in their regulations, regarding their method of...

Hard to diagnose with any accuracy from a distance, as there are myriad possibilities for it.

But very generally, the fact that you maintain a liabilities account suggests that you're using a...

They'll fix you right up over there, sport.

Very generally, if volume / output is a variable that affects the final cost (your post suggests it may be) then you first need a reasonable estimate of your usage requirements over the term of the...

Hmmm.. . With (a) and (b) you're safely on second.

To stretch it out into a three-bagger, for (c) go back and review the example I gave earlier. In particular, note that the numerator is the...

In (a) you're spot on.

For (b), where did the bond come from? No bond is mentioned in the question. Moving on, the question is really asking, "What is the convertible's value in terms of the...

'preciated indeed!

Multiple Choice: BBRIDBART disregarded AMHD's homework assistance rules, and in the process of furnishing answers, got how many right?

Yvonne, the initial investment of 10K can be included or excluded as one of the cash flows; the two different approaches only give two versions of the same comparison. It's analogous to the fact that...

You're correct that the attached schedule doesn't give all the data needed for a WACC calc. From the schedule you can determine each component's weight in the firm's capital structure, but to go any...

There is a shortcut to the answer, given by the relationships between the functions and their first derivatives. But it's insightful to build up from the ground to see the individual parts in action....

Ambiguously-worded question.

"What was the effect of these sales on Bextra's current ratio?" (emphasis mine).

My snap reaction to the wording is that the author is contemplating solely the...

Glad to hear it helped out a bit, and thanks. Sometimes, it's just a matter of hearing something described a little differently, or accompanied by a different mental picture, to reach that "aha!"...

Your cost of equity is correct; your cost of debt is not.

The cost of Jones' debt is simply the interest rate that corresponds to the 600,000 loan amount being exactly amortized with 10 annual...

Happy to help, CG. The thing about rounding-off issues is that (especially in exponential-growth situations, such as here) a little rounding can grow into significant differences pretty quick.

In any given year, the total spending will be given by P times C, where P is the total population, and C is the per-capita spending for such year.

But the total population, and the per-capita...

That'd be my guess.

While a simple amortization schedule could tell you the principle / interest composition of each payment, one would also need to know the payer's marginal tax rate in order to...

To what advantage? Deducting pre-incorporation expenses against post-incorporation income on the S-corp's return can be a little tricky; depends on the timing and nature of the expenditures, and...

Use the given info along with the constant-growth model to determine the discount rate the market is using to derive the $100 share price.

Then with that discount rate in hand use the...

@Mattecheverria, your basic premise is correct that inflation makes the real cost of borrowing less than the nominal cost. Generally, for some inflation rate i and a nominal borrowing cost r, your...

What they mean is that at the end of the second year, the investment returns not only 150 but also returns back the original investment amount of 2,000. Thus the three cash flows are, in order,...

SBG7, you've done everything technically correct, computationally (nice job). However, this one illustrates why the constant growth model requires that k > g, for required rate of return k and...

First describe the cash flows remaining on this bond. Tell me what the coupon payments are (their amount, and when they'll be paid), and tell when the maturity amount is to be paid (assume they're...

I. Is correct.

For II, dividend yield is calculated by dividing the actual dividend---not the payout rate---by the share price. The actual dividend is found by multiplying the earnings per share...

Consider the fundamental relationship between the future value FV and the present value PV of some amount, where there are n periods between the two:

FV = PV(1 + r)^n for some interest rate r.

(5) is correct.

On the others, you're using the right Excel functions, but in each case you need to express the prices in the exact syntax Excel requires, as I mentioned in my response to your...
