If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?Solve for:A. DebtPreferred StockEquityB. Discount Rate

Answers

Answer:

common stocks = 8,100,000 x $57 = $461,700,000

preferred stocks = 300,000 x $99 = $29,700,00

debt = 185,000 x $2,000 x 1.07 = $395,900,000

total market value = $887,300,000

a)

capital structure:

common stocks = $461,700,000 / $887,300,000 = 52.03%

preferred stocks = $29,700,00 / $887,300,000 = 3.35%

debt = $395,900,000 / $887,300,000 = 44.62%

b) WACC = 7.48%

Re = 3.3% + (1.15 x 6.6%) = 10.89%

Cost of preferred stock = 4.1 / 99 = 4.14%

cost of debt = YTM = {55 + [(2,000 - 2,140)/36]} / [(2,000 + 2,140)/2] = 51.11 / 2,070 = 2.469 x 2 = 4.94%

WACC = (10.89 x 52.03%) + (4.14 x 3.35%) + (4.94 x 44.62% x 0.76) = 5.67% + 0.14% + 1.67% = 7.48%

Radoski Corporation's bonds make an annual coupon interest payment of 7.35% every year. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, a current price of $1,470, and mature in 12 years. What is the yield to maturity on these bonds

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2.71 percent

Explanation:

The interest payment is annually.

N(Number of periods) = 12 years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $1,470

PMT( coupon payment) = $73.5 ( [7.35 percent x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 12; PV = -1470 ; PMT = 73.5; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 2.71

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 2.71 percent

A share of stock is now selling for $110. It will pay a dividend of $8 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What do investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 15%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Expected selling price $

Answers

Answer:

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.

The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

r = 0.04 + 1 * (0.15 - 0.04)

r = 0.15 or 15%

Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is expected dividend for the next periodg is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available variables, g is,

110 = 8 / (0.15 - g)

110* (0.15 - g) = 8

16.5 - 110g = 8

g = (8 - 16.5) / -110

g = 0.077272 or 7.7272% rounded off to 7.73%

So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.

P1 = 8 * (1+0.0773) / (0.15 - 0.0773)

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

2. Whom would you choose as a referent on this job? What steps would your manager take to make you feel that you were being equitably treated? What would you do if, after a year on the job, you experienced underpayment equity?

Answers

Answer is given below

Explanation:

The comparison is an indication to determine if the treatment is the same. Mentioned may be another person or a group of people similar to them. The Reference Canal may be a person with a previous job or anyone has guesses as to what the result/input ratio will be. Employees are treated equally when they feel that their result / input ratio is equal to the output or input ratio mentioned. Equity is related to the fairness of the results relative to the inputs. Managers help treat employees equally by ensuring that those who provide multiple inputs are rewarded with more results than those who provide less input. If a person changes one aspect of his ratio, the manager must ensure that the other side of the ratio also changes. As the input increases, so does the outcomhold. If the input decreases, the results also decrease. Equity is present when an individual's own result / input ratio is less than the forecast. This happens when an employee compares him or her to a reference and does not want to achieve the results he or his investment has achieved. Equity can be restored by trying to increase growth (by inputs, bonuses or allocating time) or by removing inputs (being late or falling short, doing less work) and turning it into a more accurate indication. If these methods fail, a planned company will choose to depart

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement_____________ monetary policy with a focus.

a. Short-term
b. Long-term
c. Contractionary
d. Expansionary

Answers

Answer: Expansionary; Short-term

Explanation:

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement an expansionary monetary policy with a short-term focus.

Expansionary monetary policy has the effect of putting more money into the economy. As there is now more money in the economy, the expectation is that there will be more consumption spending as well as investment. More consumption because people have more money and more investment because interest rates reduce when there is an increased money supply. As there is now more investment as well as the need to satiate the increased demand, more companies can expand and employ people thereby reducing unemployment.

This should however be done with a short term view because expansionary monetary policy will lead to higher inflation in the longer term making business operations less profitable.

perline, inc., has balance sheet equity of $6.2 million.At the same time, the income statement shows net income of $948600. The company paid dividends of $493272 and has 100000 shares of stock outstanding. If the benchmark PE ratio is 26, what is the target stock price in one year?

Answers

Answer:

The target stock price in one year is $264.75

Explanation:

We first calculate the ROE as below

ROE= Earnings / Book value of Equity

ROE= $948,600 / $6,200,000

ROE= 0.153

The payout ratio is:

b=  Dividend / Net income

b = $493,272 / $948,600

b = 0.52

So the sustainable growth rate is:

g = ROE * (1-b)

g = 0.153 * (1-0.52)

g = 0.153 * 0.48

g = 0.07344

The earning in the first year are

EPS1 = $948,600 / 100,000  * (1 + 0.07344)

EPS1 = $9.486 * 1.07344

EPS1 = $10.1827

According to the benchmark PE ratio, the target stock price in one year is

Price = EPS1 * 26

Price = $10.1827 * 26

Price = $264.75

ABC paid $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable, $10,000 interest on long-term bonds, and $6,000 in dividends on its common stock. ABC would report cash outflows from activities, as follows:
A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.
B) Operating, $0; Financing $18,000.
C) Operating, $18,000; Financing $0.
D) Operating, $2,000; Financing $16,000.

Answers

Answer: A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.

Explanation:

Operating Activities deal with the cashflow related to the operations of the business and it's short term obligations. Interest payments on loans are short term and are considered part of normal business operations so the outflow from Operating activities is;

= $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable + $10,000 interest on long-term bonds

= $12,000

Financing Activities relate to cash-flow surrounding the capital of the firm. This includes Equity and long term debt. Dividends have the impact of reducing equity and so will fall under Financing activities.

Dividends = Financing = $6,000

The company is thinking of introducing an​ off-road bike with a projected selling price of ​$ and a production and shipping cost of ​$. The projected annual sales for the​ off-road bike are . The company will lose sales in​ fat-tire bikes of units per year if it introduces the new​ bike, however. What is the erosion cost from the new​ bike? Should Fat Tire start producing the​ off-road bike? What is the erosion cost from the new​ bike?

Answers

Answer:

A. $1,725,000

B. Yes

Explanation:

Calculation for the erosion cost from the new​ bike

First step to find the erosion cost

Using this formula

Erosion cost =(Sales-Production and shipping cost )*Loss of sales units per year

Let plug in the formula

Erosion cost=(100-40)*7,500

Erosion cost=60*7,500

Erosion  cost= $450,000

Second step is to calculate for the Net annual Cash flow using this formula

Net annual cash flow= (Projected selling price-Production and shipping cost)*Projected annual sales-Erosion cost

Let plug in the formula

Net annual cash flow= (370-225)*15,000 - 450,000

Net annual cash flow =145*15,000-450,000

Net annual cash flow =2,175,000-450,000

Net annual cash flow=$1,725,000

B.Yes Fat Tire start producing the​ off-road bike

Because the net annual cash flow is positive

Answers

Answer:

First Year $ 17.17

Second Year $ 18.53

Last Year $ 74.08

Explanation:

Computation to Find the imputed interest income in: (a) the first year; (b) the second year; and (c) the last year of the bond’s life

Imputed Interest

First step

Using this formula

Imputed interest=(Present Value /1+Yield to maturity)^Numberd of years

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n

0 20 (1/1.08)^20= $ 214.54

1 19 (1/1.08)^19=$ 231.71

2 18 (1/1.08)^18=$ 250.24

19 1 (1/1.08)^1=$ 925.92

20 0 (1/1.08)^0=$ 1,000

Second step is to find the Imputed interest for the first year, second year; and the last year of the bond’s life

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n =Imputed Interest

0 20 $ 214.54

1 19 $ 231.71 $17.17

($231.71-$214.54)= $17.17

2 18 $ 250.24 $18.53

($250.24-$231.71)=$18.53

19 1 $ 925.92

20 0 $ 1,000 $74.08

($1,000-$925.92) =$74.08

Therefore the imputed interest will be:

First Year $ 17.17

Second Year $ 18.53

Last Year $ 74.08

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $27,600,000

Unitary variable cost= $805

Unit selling price= $1,150

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 27,600,000 / (1,150 - 805)

Break-even point in units= 80,000 units

Desired income= $5,175,000

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (27,600,000 + 5,175,000) / 345

Break-even point in units= 95,000 units

Product differentiation and advertising are profitable ventures only when:
the market is monopolistic
both revenues and costs increase
they do not affect entry barriers
the gain in total revenue outweighs the extra cost
the market is oligopolistic

Answers

Answer:

Product differentiation and advertising are profitable ventures only when:

the gain in total revenue outweighs the extra cost

Explanation:

When Company XYZ differentiates its product from competitors' through trademarks and other differentiating factors and embarks on advertising, it must watch out for cost overrun.  The undertaking for the product differentiation and advertising should be able to generate more revenue than the costs.  This will make Company XYZ determine that its differentiation and advertising make economic meaning by producing positive NPV.

Product differentiation as well as advertising can be considered as profitable ventures in a case whereby D: the gain in total revenue outweighs the extra cost.

Product differentiation can be regarded as activity that us been carried out by producer so that his product/service stand out to target audience. Advitisement on the other hand helps in promoting the goods/services .

However, they a profitable ventures when the extra cost in production is less than the gain.

A​ monopolist's maximized rate of economic profits is ​$1500 per week. Its weekly output is 500 ​units, and at this output​ rate, the​ firm's marginal cost is ​$32 per unit. The price at which it sells each unit is ​$42 per unit. At these profit and output rates, what are the firm's average total cost and marginal revenue?

Answers

Answer:

Average total cost = $39

Marginal revenue = $32 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of average total cost and marginal revenue is shown below:-

Average total cost = Selling price - (Economic profit ÷ Weekly output)

                              = $42 - ($1,500 ÷ 500)

                              = $42 - 3

                              = $39

Marginal revenue = Marginal cost

So,

Marginal revenue = $32 per unit

Therefore for computing the average total cost and marginal revenue we simply applied the above formula.

His mortgage payment is $900 per month, and his student loan payment is $350 per month. Note: You do not need to take taxes into consideration for this journal.

a. According to the affordability formulas given, can he afford to take out another loan?
b. When should he follow the affordability formulas?
c. In what cases should he not?
d. How could taking out the car loan impact his other priorities?

Answers

Answer:

A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%

B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out  loans

C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans  

D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%

Explanation:

using the affordability formula

The debt to income ratio = [tex]\frac{total debt}{gross income}[/tex]

total debt = mortgage payment + loan repayment = $900 + $350

= $1250

gross income = $3500

hence debt to income ratio =  1250 / 3500 = 0.3571 = 35.7%

A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%

B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out  loans

C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans  

D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%

a. According to the affordability formulas, Joe-Bob cannot afford to take out a car loan.  His current DTI without the auto loan is almost 36%.

b. Joe-Bob should follow the affordability formulas to guide his decisions in taking a new loan.

c. Joe-Bob does not need to follow the affordability formulas when his debt to income ratio (DTI) is far below 36%.  He can also avoid the affordability formulas when he has the prospect of increasing his monthly income.

d. If Joe-Bob takes out the car loan despite his poor rating on the affordability formulas, he may not afford to pay his bills for necessities.

Thus, Joe-Bob should not take on more loans now until he improves his income.  An automobile will require routine maintenance and some repairs, including fuelling.

Data and Calculations:

Current monthly income = $3,500

Monthly mortgage payment = $900

Monthly student loan payment = $350

Total current debts = $1,250 ($900 + $350)

The Affordability Formula (Current Debt Payment to Income Ratio) =

35.7% ($1,250/$3,500 x 100)

The Affordability Rule states that Joe-Bob should not spend more than 36% of his monthly income repaying loans.

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 7,400 hours Actual total labor cost $ 96,200 Actual output 950 units What is the labor efficiency variance for the month

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours

Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour

Actual hours worked 7,400 hours

Actual output 950 units

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 9.6*950= 9,120

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (9,120 - 7,400)*13.4

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable

For an oil and gas limited partnership (LP), allowances in the form of deductions are allowed by the IRS to be taken to compensate for a depleting resource. The allowance can be taken based on

Answers

Answer:

The allowance can be taken based on:

a reduction (production) of the oil and gas reserves.

Explanation:

A limited partnership's allowance for depletion is a special form of depreciation used to account for the gradual reduction in the value of natural resources based on their usage or consumption.  There are two methods for recognizing depletion of natural resources.  They are the cost depletion method, which is based on usage, and the percentage depletion method, which is a percentage of gross earnings.  Then, depletion is different from depreciation, in that depreciation is for tangible assets, while depletion is for natural assets.

A stock has had returns of 12 percent, 19 percent, 21 percent, −12 percent, 26 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Explanation:

Geometric average return

This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .

Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility

The formula below

Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n

Geometric Average return =  

(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168

Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%

Geometric return = 9.23%

Average rate of return

The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns

Average return = sum of return / No of returns

(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $5 million, patent; $3 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $5 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life. What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items

Answers

Answer:

$1,000,000 per year

Explanation:

We can infer from the above information that the intangible assets with indefinite period are checked annually, for impairment hence patent is a limited life intangible.

Therefore;

The amount of amortization of patent at the end of first year

= Patent value ÷ Useful life

= $5 million ÷ 5 years

= $1,000,000 per year

Therefore, the company should amortize $1,000,000 per year.
