BAM313 Worthington, Inc Financial essay, business and finance homework help

/in /by

Essay Question:  Worthington, Inc. is planning to issue $7,500,000 in 120-day maturity notes carrying a rate of 11 percent per year. Worthington’s commercial paper will be placed at a cost of $35,000. What is the effective cost of credit to Worthington?

Answer to my essay was:

Assuming Simple Interest (An year has 360 days)

= $7,500,000* 11%* (120/360) =$275,000

= $275,000 + $35,000

= $310,000  (33% and 24% was incorrect interest rate for 120 days)

So the effective cost of credit to Worthington based off the financial principals is 11% annual interest rate paid back in120 days has an effective interest rate of 24%.Therefore, this is the effective cost of credit since it entails all the additional costs involved insecuring the credit.

My professor is asking what is the interest rate for the 120 days?  Here are some of her notes to me. 

1. If you pay 10% interest and you only have use of the money for 3 months, the effective interest rate is 40%.  Interest is stated as an annual number unless otherwise stated.  Your answer is incorrect.  I am giving you a big clue with my first statement here.

2. Your calculations are partially correct, but partially incorrect.  This is an exam and I can’t provide formulas/answers to exams. If, after 6 months, I earned $10,000 interest on an investment of $100,000, what is my return?  By financial principles, it is 20%–not 10%.  

3. This question combines two concepts-your text has a discussion of a similar problem. 


Can some one help me with this answer?

From the e-Activity, explain the origins of organized crime, its several forms, and critically evaluate the means by which law enforcement agencies have been able to combat it. Provide a rationale for your response.

  • Analyze the definition, types, and national extent of street gangs. Provide your opinion on whether or not the law enforcement strategies being employed against gangs are successful. Justify your response.

    Respond to the following statement:

    The definition of a gang is categorized as five or more persons that engage in and requires a condition of membership to partake in felonious activities.  Types of gangs are juvenile, female, taggers, motorcycle and street are all part of this structure.  Many people nationally have been victimized by gang violence and activity in their communities as well as business owners.

    Law enforcement is working on strategies to assist on this issue.  In my community gang activity is decreasing.  Crime watches and community involvement has played a tremendous role in cutting down gang activity. Monitoring suspicious activities and reporting it to the police are strategies that appear to be effective measures in gang violence.

    Question 4: 20% points:

    Warren Buffet, an investor in Alpha Co., asked you for advice on the propriety of Alpha’s financial reporting for two of its investments. Assume that Alpha does not elect the fair value option for reporting its financial assets and liabilities. You obtained the following information related to the investments from Alpha’s December 31, 2015 financial statements:

    > 20% ownership interest in Beta Co., represented by 200,000 shares of outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, 2015, for $600,000. > 20% ownership interest in Charlie Co., represented by 20,000 shares of outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, 2015, for $300,000. > On January 2, 2015, the carrying values of the acquired shares of both investments equaled their purchase price.

    > Beta reported earnings of $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, and declared and paid dividends of $100,000 on 12/15/2015.
    > Charlie reported earnings of $350,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, and declared and paid dividends of $60,000 on 12/15/2015.
    > On December 31, 2015, Beta’s and Charlie’s common stock were trading over-the-counter at $18 and $20 per share, respectively.
    > The investment in Charlie is accounted for using the equity method.
    > The investment in Beta is accounted for as available-for-sale securities.

    You recalculated the amounts reported in Alpha’s December 31, 2015 financial statements, and determined that they were correct. Stressing that the information available in the financial statements was limited, you advised Warren that, assuming Alpha properly applied generally accepted accounting principles, Alpha may have appropriately used two different methods to account for its investments in Beta and Charlie, even though the investments represent equal ownership interests.

    Prepare the general journal entries for the following:
    1. Alpha’s investment in Charlie Co. on January 2, 2015.
    2. Dividends received from Charlie in 2015.
    3. Required for Charlie’s reported income for the year ending on December 31, 2015.
    4. Alpha’s investment in Beta Co. on January 2, 2015.
    5. Dividends received from Beta in 2015.
    6. Required for Beta’s reported income for the year ending on December 31, 2015
