Paper For Above instruction

The following paper provides comprehensive solutions to each of the financial problems presented in the assignment. It begins by calculating the stockholders' equity for Dalia Inc., moves on to analyze Canadian Bacon Inc.'s financial ratios, and then elaborates on present and future value computations, as well as bond valuation metrics. Each section applies fundamental financial principles and formulas, using pertinent data provided in the assignment questions.

Calculating Stockholder's Equity of Dalia Inc.

Stockholder's equity, also known as shareholders' equity, represents the residual interest in the assets of a company after deducting liabilities. The fundamental accounting equation is expressed as Assets = Liabilities + Equity. Rearranged, Equity = Assets - Liabilities. Given total assets of $3,452,230, current liabilities of $706,281, and long-term debt of $813,230, the calculation proceeds as follows:

First, identify total liabilities as the sum of current liabilities and long-term debt:

  • Current liabilities: $706,281
  • Long-term debt: $813,230

Total liabilities = $706,281 + $813,230 = $1,519,511

Assuming total liabilities include current liabilities and long-term debt, stockholders' equity is then:

Equity = Total assets - Total liabilities = $3,452,230 - $1,519,511 = $1,932,719

Thus, Dalia Inc.’s stockholders' equity is approximately $1,932,719.

Calculating the Average Day’s Purchases for Canadian Bacon Inc.

To compute the Average Day’s Purchases, we first need the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and the average daily purchases. In absence of direct purchase data, a common approach utilizes COGS as a proxy for purchases, assuming inventory turnover remains consistent.

Given data includes total sales ($3,136,600) and COGS ($2,195,620). Assuming purchases approximate COGS, the average daily purchases are:

Average Day’s Purchases = (Purchases / 365)

Since purchases approximate COGS, Average Day’s Purchases = $2,195,620 / 365 ≈ $6,017.62

Present Value of Savings for Camila’s Trip

Camila plans to accumulate $17,879 in 7 years, with an interest rate of 6.21% compounded quarterly. To find the amount she needs to deposit today, we use the present value formula for compound interest:

PV = FV / (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

  • FV = 17,879
  • r = 0.0621
  • n = 4 (quarterly compounding)
  • t = 7 years

Calculating:

PV = 17,879 / (1 + 0.0621 / 4)^(4 * 7) ≈ 17,879 / (1 + 0.015525)^(28)

PV = 17,879 / (1.015525)^(28) ≈ 17,879 / 1.5187 ≈ $11,785.90

Therefore, Camila needs to deposit approximately $11,785.90 today.

Future Value of Semi-Annual Savings

Saving $1,721 every half year at an interest rate of 4.71% compounded semi-annually over 14 years involves calculating the future value of an ordinary annuity:

FV = P * [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)]

Where:

  • P = $1,721
  • r = 0.0471
  • n = 2 (semi-annual compounding)
  • t = 14 years

Calculations:

FV = 1,721 [((1 + 0.0471/2)^(214) - 1) / (0.0471/2)]

FV = 1,721 [ (1.02355)^28 - 1) / 0.02355 ] ≈ 1,721 [2.017 - 1) / 0.02355] ≈ 1,721 * 42.871 ≈ $73,837.51

Thus, the total accumulated savings would be approximately $73,837.51 after 14 years.

Monthly Payments for Car Loan

The loan amount is $33,814, to be repaid over 7 years with an annual interest rate of 18.42%, compounded monthly. The monthly payment (M) can be computed using the loan amortization formula:

M = P * (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • P = $33,814
  • r = 0.1842 / 12 ≈ 0.01535
  • n = 7 * 12 = 84 months

Calculations:

M = 33,814 (0.01535 (1 + 0.01535)^84) / ((1 + 0.01535)^84 - 1) ≈ 33,814 (0.01535 3.545) / (3.545 - 1) ≈ 33,814 * 0.05445 / 2.545 ≈ $722.28

Therefore, the monthly payment is approximately $722.28.

Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the Bond

The bond details are: 12-year maturity, 7.97% annual coupon rate, $1,000 par value, current price $931, and annual coupon payments. YTM is the rate (i) satisfying:

Price = (Coupon / i) * (1 - (1 + i)^-n) + Par / (1 + i)^n

Using financial calculator or Excel's RATE function, the approximate YTM is obtained.

Input data for Excel:

  • Number of periods: 12
  • Coupon payment: $1,000 * 7.97% = $79.70
  • Present value: -$931
  • Future value (par): $1,000

Applying Excel formula: =RATE(12, 79.70, -931, 1000) ≈ 0.0864 or 8.64% annually.

This indicates the bond's YTM is approximately 8.64% per year.

Conclusion

Each of these financial computations demonstrates fundamental principles: asset-liability management, ratio analysis, time value of money, and bond valuation. They are essential tools for financial decision-making and investment analysis.
