a. Debenture
b. Callable bond
c. Registered-form bond

Becker Industries is considering an all equity capital structure against one with both debt and equity. The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
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
Joan, who has a PhD in economics, has been employed as an agent by Gibraltar Securities for the past 15 years. Missing academic life, she resigns from the broker-dealer and accepts a position as an economics professor at a state university. Which, if any party, is required to notify the state securities Administrator of this change
Answer:
both the agent in question as well as the former broker/dealer are required to notify the Administrator promptly.
Explanation:
In the specific scenario that is being described both the agent in question as well as the former broker/dealer are required to notify the Administrator promptly. This is mainly due to the fact that the license that an agent possesses expires as soon as they cease to be employed by the broker/dealer and/or issuer for whom they were previously licensed. Therefore this information needs to be presented immediately to the securities administrator and her license needs to be revoked.
A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total 49982. The variable costs will be $8.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of 25.25 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 2,984 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The one-time fixed costs will total 49982. The variable costs will be $8.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores for 25.25 per book
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= 49,982/ (25.25 - 8.5)
Break-even point in units= 2,984 units

Answer:
865,150 shares

The calculation of shares for diluted earning per share is shown below:-
Shares for diluted earning per share = Outstanding shares + Issued shares + Stock option
= 837,000 + (40,600 × 6 ÷ 12) + ((31,400 - (31,400 × $15 ÷ $20)
= 837,000 + 20,300 + 7,850
= 865,150 shares
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Assume that you plan to buy a share of XYZ stock today and to hold it for 2 years. Your expectations are that you will not receive a dividend at the end of Year 1, but you will receive a dividend of $9.25 at the end of Year 2. In addition, you expect to sell the stock for $150 at the end of Year 2. If your expected rate of return is 16 percent, how much should you be willing to pay for this stock today?
Answer:
Price to be paid today = $118.35
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
The model can applied as follows:
PV of dividend = D×(1+r) ^(-n)
D- dividend , r - required rate , n- number of year
D- 9.25, r - 16%, n = 2
PV of dividend = 9.25 × (1.16)^(-2)= 6.9
PV of disposal value
PV of dividend = F × (1+r) ^(-n)
D- disposal value , r - required rate , n- number of year
PV of disposal value = 150 × (1.16)^(-2)= 111.47
Price to be paid today
Total present value = 6.9 + 111.47 = 118.35
Price to be paid today = $118.35

Answer:
The correct answer is: the organization emphasizes long-term employment.
