Jenny Corp. needs to raise $53 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $29.00 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $925,000. How many shares need to be sold?

Answers

Answer:

2,010,252 Shares

Explanation:

The funds that are to be raised = $53,000,000

Spread = 7.5%

Share price = $29.00

Flotation cost with issue = 925,000

We have that:

(53000000+925000)/92.5 * 100

(539,250,000/92.5)x100

= $58297.973 x 100

= $58297297.3

The offer per share is placed at $29.00

So to get the number of shares sold:

$58297297.3 / $29.00

= 2,010,252 shares are to be sold.

So starting out they purchase your equipment with a promissory note. That promissory note is Debited to your accounts receivable for the amount of sales price (658,000) + both sales & local taxes. 6%+1.5%= 7.5% so... 1+ (7.5%*658,000)=  $707,350

then your sales tax payable is credited like this 7.5%*658,000= $49,350

and of course credit, the sales price for $658,000

Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $12,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Answers

Answer:

$9,250

Explanation:

Calculation for the net differential income from the lease alternative

Lease amount=$45,000

Estimated expenses=$12,000

Net sale of equipment=Sale of equipment through broker $25,000 less 5% commission

Using this formula

Net differential income = Lease amount - estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment

Let plug in the formula

Net differential income= $45,000-$12,000-($25,000-($25,000*5%)

Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-($25,000-$1,250)

Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-$23,750

Net differential income=$45,000-$35,750

Net differential income=$9,250

Therefore net differential income from the lease alternative is $9,250

During the current year, Chudrick Corporation expects to produce 10,000 units and has budgeted the following: net income $300,000, variable costs $1,100,000, and fixed costs $100,000. It has invested assets of $1,500,000. The company’s budgeted ROI was 20%. What was its budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach?

Answers

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

For the computation of budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach first we need to find out the profit expected and total cost which is shown below:-

Profit Expected = $1,500,000 × 20%

= $300,000

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

= $1,100,000 + $100,000

= $12,00,000

Budgeted Markup Percentage = Profit ÷ Total Cost

= $300,000 ÷ $12,00,000

= 25%

You purchased a share of stock for $120. One year later you received $1.82 as a dividend and sold the share for $136. What was your holding-period return

Answers

Answer:

Holding period return =14.85 %

Explanation:

The return on stock is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Holding period return = (Dividend + capital gain)/Begin Price of stock × 100  

Dividend = $1.82

Capital gains= 136 - 120 = 16

Total dollar return on Investment = 1.82 + 16= $ 17.82

                                      = 17.82/120 × 100 = 14.85 %

Holding period return =14.85 %

Rossdale Co. stock currently sells for $72.87 per share and has a beta of 1.22. The market risk premium is 7.10 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.90 percent annually. The company just paid a dividend of $4.29 per share, which it has pledged to increase at an annual rate of 3.45 percent indefinitely. What is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Equity =11.56%

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM  

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22

E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562  %

Cost of Equity =11.56%

21. A noncancelable lease contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain. The fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as a(n):

Answers

Answer: A. Sales-type lease

Explanation:

A Sales type lease is one where the present value of all the lease payments of the Asset being leased is more than the cost/ carrying amount of the Asset.

The present value of the lease Payments is the Fair Value of the asset and as seen from the question, the fair value of the asset is more than the cost of the Asset. The lease will therefore be accounted for as a Sales type lease by the lessor.

It is worthy of note that this entry affects only the lessor.

If the domino effect occurs as a result of changes in the money supply, what will most likely happen as an immediate result of interest rates being increased? Borrowing will decrease. Investing will decrease. Inflation will increase. Liquidity will increase.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is: interest rates will decrease

Explanation:

Just got correct on edge

If there is an increase in the interest rate, then borrowing will decrease.

The term "domino effect" refers to the cumulative effect that is produced by one event that eventually leads to the same effect on others. In other words, the domino effect is when one disaster affects or brings destruction or disruption to others, leading to similar events.

One result will lead to a chain reaction in this event, affecting the rest of the cycle. This means that like one domino's downfall brings the next domino down, one destruction will lead to the fall of the next, taking the cycle to the end until all falls. In this scenario, if the interest rates are being increased, then it will lead to a decreased rate of borrowing. A change in the money supply will increase the interest rate. This will only leave the customers looking for a way out, which means there will be a lower rate of borrowing.

In a domino effect, one event will bring the fall of the other. Therefore, if the interest rates increase, there will only be more problems for the customers. This will leave them reducing or decreasing the borrowing rate in the market. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

In Chow's December 31, 20X3, income statement, the foreign exchange gain is ?

the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4875 = $97,500 on December 10, 20x3

the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4675 = $93,500 on December 31, 20x3

Since the goods were sold FOB shipping point, we have to use the shipping date (December 10) to calculate the original price. By December 31, the price in US dollars had decreased by $4,000 resulting in a foreign exchange gain.

Answers

Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $2,000 = $1,500 . However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 required to open the account, hence $2,000 must be deposited.

Therefore, the credit balance in the account will be;

= 2,000 + 2,000 ( 100 × $20)

= $4,000

Answers

Answer:

b) 32%

Explanation:

Formula for calculating cost of equity is given as ;

r levered = r levered + ( debt / equity × ( r unlevered - cost of debt) × ( 1 - tax)

r unlevered is the cost of an unlevered equity = 16.0%

Debt = $500,000

Cost of debt = 12%

Equity = unknown

Firstly, we need to calculate the value of the firm and the formula is denoted by;

EBIT ( 1 - tax ) / Unlevered cost of equity + ( debt × tax )

= $100,000 ( 1 - 30% ) / 16% + ( $500,000 × 30% )

= $100,000 ( 0.7 ) /0.16 + $30,000

= $437,500 + $150,000

= $587,500

r levered = 16% + ( $500,000 / ( $587,500 - $500,000 ) × ( 16% - 12% ) × ( 1 - 30%)

= 0.16 + ( $500,000 / 87,500 ) × 0.04 × ( 0.7 )

= 0.16 + 5.71 × 0.04 × 0.7

= 32%

Substantial reductions From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences. And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me. If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I dont believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesnt want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like." The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there. I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.
