Suppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a physician's office is just over 29 minutes. In order to address the issue of long patient wait times, some physicians' offices are using wait-tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this information and spend less time in waiting rooms. The following data show wait times (minutes) for a sample of patients at offices that do not have a wait-tracking system and wait times for a sample of patients at offices with a wait-tracking system.

You plan to purchase a $180,000 house using a 15-year mortgage obtained from your local credit union. The mortgage rate offered to you is 5.5 percent. You will make a down payment of 10 percent of the purchase price.

b. Calculate the amount of interest and, separately, principal paid in the 20th payment.
c. Calculate the amount of interest and, separately, principal paid in the 110th payment.
d. Calculate the amount of interest paid over the life of this mortgage.

The Baldwin Company is considering investing in a machine that produces bowling balls. The cost of the machine is $100,000 and production is expected to be 8,000 units per year during the five-year life of the machine. The expected resale value is $5,000 (in real terms).
Since the interest in bowling is declining, the management believes that the nominal price of bowling balls will increase at only 2% per year. The nominal price of bowling balls in the first year will be $20. On the other hand, plastic used to produce bowling balls is rapidly becoming more expensive. Because of this, production costs are expected to grow at 10% (nominally) per year. First-year nominal production costs will be $10 per unit.
The company's nominal cost of capital is 15%. The rate of inflation is 5%. Ignore taxes. Should the project be undertaken?

Please give me a answer with equations and step by step solutions so that I can understand.

Long-Term Financing Needed At year-end 2016, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $1.6 million and its accounts payable were $375,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $2.7 million, are expected to increase by 20% in 2017. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $475,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $260,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $155,000 of new common stock in 2017 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2017. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its profit margin on sales is 3%, and 50% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.

What was Wallace's total long-term debt in 2016? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

What were Wallace's total liabilities in 2016? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.  

How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2017? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

 Abner​ Corporation's bonds mature in 17 years and pay 11 percent interest annually. If you purchase the bonds for ​$850​, what is your yield to​ maturity?

1.a) Briefly describe how the Efficient Frontier and the Capital Allocation Line (CAL) are determined. Include all steps and procedures.

1.b) The CAL has the following parameters: Risk-free rate is 3 percent, return on the optimal risky portfolio is 12 percent, with a standard deviation (SD) of 20 percent. What is your expected return if you limit your risk to a Standard Deviation of 10 percent?

1.c) How do you achieve a 35 percent return using the parameters above? Explain and show precisely how you would achieve the return and also calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio.

This is all the info I've been given. I need to draw the efficient frontier and capital allocation line and describe both.

Dmitri Ivanov is retiring soon, so he is concerned about his investments providing him steady income every year. He is aware that if interest rates   , the potential earnings power of the cash flow from his investments will increase. In particular, he is concerned that a decline in interest rates might lead to   annual income from his investments.

What is meant by an investor’s required rate of return? How do we measure risk in an investment? What do you consider a “risky” investment and a “safe” investment? What do you consider the tradeoff between risk and return of investments? Why are these concepts important to business leaders in Saudi Arabia? what are the risk versus return and doing business in Saudi ?Arabia.

The Robinson Corporation has $32 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 11.450 percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen to 10.450 percent. Mr. Brooks, the Vice-President of Finance, does not expect rates to fall any further. The bonds have 17 years left to maturity, and Mr. Brooks would like to refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 17 years to maturity. The Robinson Corporation has a tax rate of 30 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 3.20 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 2.10 percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year protection against a call, with a 9 percent call premium starting in the sixth year and scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter. (Consider the bond to be seven years old for purposes of computing the premium.) Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Assume the discount rate is equal to the aftertax cost of new debt rounded up to the nearest whole percent (e.g. 4.06 percent should be rounded up to 5 percent).

a. Compute the discount rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded up to the nearest whole percent.)

b. Calculate the present value of total outflows. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c. Calculate the present value of total inflows. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Calculate the net present value. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
