What will be the nominal rate of return on a perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value, a stated dividend of 8% of par, and a current market price of (a) $62, (b) $81, (c) $97, and (d) $136

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the risk premium is shown below:-

Rate of return = Dividend ÷ Current market price of preferred stock

The dividend should be

= $100 × 8%

= $8

a Rate of return = $8 ÷ $62

= 12.90%

b. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $81

= 9.88%

c. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $97

= 8.25%

d. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $136

= 5.88%

Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the time of the contest. (Of course, the present value of her winnings is less than $1,000,000.) Svetlana decided to keep X each year to spend and deposit the remaining $50;000 X into an account earning an annual effective interest rate of 5%. She chose the value X to be as large as possible so that, at the moment of the 20th deposit, the account would have grown to such a size that it would provide Svetlana and her heirs at least X per year in interest forever. Find X.

Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.

The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.

The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between ___________ % and ___________ %

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:

sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,

where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?

(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?

(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is

= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.

If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?

(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.

(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?

Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model

sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.

(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?

(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. The remaining useful life of the leased equipment is 15 years. The lease payments were calculated to provide the lessor a 10% return.

At the local banking institution the branch manager doubles as the IT "go-to" by handling printer setups, resettingLAN passwords, and periodically monitoring the branch’s server health. Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.
a. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s Safeguards Rule
b. The Good Samaritan Law
c. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
