Answer:
The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200
Explanation:
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
EPS = Earnings per share
I = interest
n = number of equity shares
n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2
n1=30,000
n2= 15,000
Break-even EBIT level is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.
Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is: EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2
EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)
EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600
2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT
2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200
EBIT= $47,200

Labor and materials for each piece of furniture total \$350$350dollar sign, 350, and his production costs are the sum of his start-up costs plus the cost of labor and materials. If John makes fff pieces of furniture, what will be his production costs, ccc, in dollars
Answer:
$5,000 + $350f

Adams is selling his property to Katter for $94,000, and Katter is assuming an existing mortgage at 4-1/2% interest per annum with the unpaid balance of $9,200. Mortgage payments are due the first of each month and include interest up to but NOT including the day of payment. The last payment was made March 1, and settlement is to be March 26. Compute the interest proration that will be credited to the buyer using a 365-day year, and holding the buyer responsible for the day of closing.
Answer:
$69.53
Explanation:
loan's balance = $94,000
interest expense per year = $94,000 x 4.5% = $4,230
interest expense per day = $4,230 / 365 = $11.5890411
the seller is responsible for 25 days of interest = 25 x $11.5890411 = $289.73
the buyer is responsible for 6 days of interest = 6 x $11.5890411 = $69.53

The Cash account in the ledger of Hensley, Inc. showed a balance of $3,100 at June 30. The bank statement, however, showed a balance of $3,900 at the same date. The only reconciling items consisted of a $700 deposit in transit, a bank service charge of $7, and a large number of outstanding checks.1. Refer to the above data. Upon completion of the bank reconciliation, a journal entry will be required to update the depositor's accounting records. This entry will inchude:______.a) a credit to Cash for $700. b) a debit to Cash for $700. c) a debit to Cash for $7. d) a debit to Bank Service Charge Expense for $7. 2. Refer to the above data. What is the total amount of the oustanding chocks a Tone 30?A) $1,513. B) $1,486.C) $1,507.D) Some other amount.
Answer:
1. d) a debit to Bank Service Charge Expense
2.d) Some other amount.
Explanation:
1. No journal entries are prepared to record deposits in transit and outstanding checks because these items have already been recorded in the books. Therefore, only one journal entry will be required to record the bank service charge of $7. The bank service charge is an expense and will be recorded by debiting bank service charge expense account and crediting cash by $7.
2. Total amount of outstanding checks = Balance per bank statement + Deposit in transit - Balance per books - Bank service charge
Total amount of outstanding checks = $3,900 + $700 - $3,100 - $7
Total amount of outstanding checks = $1,493

Blossom Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $66,000. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $5,700. The machine is expected to be used for 70,000 working hours during its 6-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2017 and 2018, assuming a December 31 year-end. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $66,000
Salvage value= $5,700
Useful life= 6
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (66,000 - 5,700) / 6= 10,050
2017:
Annual depreciation= (10,050/12)*3= $2,512.5
2018:
Annual depreciation= $10,050

Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 25% debt and 75% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its before-tax cost of debt is 13%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. The current stock price is P0 = $22.00. The last dividend was D0 = $3.00, and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of common equity and its WACC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
cost of common equity is 18.64%.
WACC is 15.93 %.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity is the return that is required by providers of Capital in form of Common Stocks.
This can be determined using the Growth Model as the information permits use of such method.
Cost of Equity = Current Dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $3.00 / $22.00 + 0.05
= 0.1864 or 18.64%
WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) + Kp × (P/V)
where,
Ke = cost of equity
= 18.64%
E/V = Weight of Equity
= 75%
Kd = cost of debt
= Interest × (1 - market rate)
= 0.13 × (1 - 0.40)
= 0.078 or 7.80 %
D/V = Weight of Debt
= 25%
Therefore,
WACC = 18.64% × 75% + 7.80 % × 25%
= 15.93 %
