The company’s tax rate is 21 percent. The book value of the debt issue is $60 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 10 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $35 million, and the bonds sell for 76 percent of par.

Required:
a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?
b. What is the company’s total market value of debt?
c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?

total book value of debt = $60,000,000 + $35,000,000 = $95,000,000

 

b. What is the company’s total market value of debt?

total market value of debt = ($60,000,000 x 1.07) + ($35,000,000 x 0.76) = $64,200,000 + $26,600,000 = $90,800,000

c. What is your best estimate of the after tax cost of debt?

weight of debt (using market value):

$64,200,000 / $90,800,000 = 70.7%

$26,600,000 / $90,800,000 = 29.3%

YTM bond I = {1,200,000 + [(60,000,000 - 64,200,000)/56]} / [(60,000,000 + 64,200,000)/2] = 1,125,000 / 62,100,000 = 1.8115 x 2 = 3.62%

YTM bond II = (35 / 26.6)¹/¹⁰ - 1 = 2.78%

after tax cost of debt = (0.707 x 3.62% x 0.79) + (0.293 x 2.78% x 0.79) = 2.02% + 0.64% = 2.66%

Activity-Based Costing: Selling and Administrative Expenses Jungle Junior Company manufactures and sells outdoor play equipment. Jungle Junior uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of the sales order processing and the customer return activity. The sales order processing activity has an activity rate of $20 per sales order, and the customer return activity has an activity rate of $100 per return. Jungle Junior sold 2,500 swing sets, which consisted of 750 orders and 80 returns.

Required:
a. Determine the total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets.
b. Determine the per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer: 1}ToTAL Activity cost =$23,000

2a)  Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale=$6.00

2b)customer return activity per unit sale=$3.20

Explanation:

a. total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets

Sales order Processing Activity =Number of orders x rate per sales order

                                       =750 x 20 =  $15,000

customer return activity  = Number of returns x rate per return

                                         = 80 x 100= $8,000

ToTAL Activity cost = Sales order Processing Activity +customer return activity= $15,000 + $8000 = $23,000

b)per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets

Cost of Sale order processing = $15,000

Number of swing set sold = 2,500

Therefore Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale =  Cost of Sale order processing/ Number of swing set sold = $15,000/ 2,500= $6.00

customer return activity cost  = $8,000

Number of swing set sold = 2,500

Therefore customer return activity per unit sale=  customer return activity cost / Number of swing set sold = $8,000/ 2,500= $3.20

ToTAL Activity cost  per unit sale = Sales order Processing Activity  cost per unit +customer return activity cost per unit = $6.00 +  $3.20 = $9.20

Answers

Answer:

Donee Beneficiary

Explanation:

In the scenario being described, it can be said that Barn is a Donee Beneficiary. This is a third-party beneficiary that occurs when the second party in the contract does not owe anything to the third party but wants to provide them with the benefit of the performance of the first party. Which since in this scenario, Denise wants to provide Barn with all the benefits of the contract even though she does not owe him anything, then it technically makes Barn a Donee Beneficiary to the Long Life Insurance Contract.

Conventional wisdom says one should measure a manager's investment performance over an entire market cycle. What arguments support this contention? What arguments contradict it?

Answers

Answer:

In every form of analysis, it is always safer to take a macro or holistic view of the situation. This is true for the investment performance of a manager. One investment decision that went right does not suffice to classify an investment portfolio manager as proficient, neither is one that went south enough to tag him deficient.

The forecasting ability of managers, on the balance of probability, will vary for different cases, with a helicopter view of providing a more accurate measure of their performance.

However, if it was possible to analyse the market for volatility and adjust our forecasts it becomes unnecessary to look at and analyse all the information from a 12-month cycle before coming to terms about the performance of the manager.

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
Project Beta IRR
W .85 8.9%
X .92 10.8
Y 1.09 12.8
Z 1.35 13.3
The T-bill rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market is 11 percent.
a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?

Answers

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR

A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $130,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.

Sales= $200,000.00

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

Gross margin= sales - COGS

COGS= sales - gross margin

COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)

COGS= $130,000

A creamery shop sells its special ice cream for $4.50 a quart. It costs them $3.00 a quart to make it. The daily demand for this flavor is normally distributed with a mean of 35 quarts and a standard deviation of 4 quarts. Unsold ice cream is sold each day to a local restaurant at $1.50 per quart. What is the service level and corresponding optimal stocking level?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:

Given that

Selling price = SP = $4.50

Cost price = CP  = $3.00

So,

Salvage value =  V  = $1.50

Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts

The  standard deviation of daily demand  = 4 quarts

based on the above information

Overage cost = (Co) is

= CP - V

= $3.00 - $1.50

= $1.50

Now

Underage cost= (Cu)

= SP - CP

= $4.50 - $3.00

= $1.50

So,  

Service level is

= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)

= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)

= 1.50 ÷ 3.00

= 0.50

= 50%

Now

At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0

So,

Optimal stocking level is

= d + Z × standard deviation

= 35 + (0  × 4)

= 35 + 0  

= 35 quarts

Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017

Answers

Answer:

Net Income available to common stockholders = $1075000

Explanation:

The preferred stock holders have a preference over the common stockholders in the distribution of dividends as they are paid before the common stock holders and receive a fixed amount of dividend. However, the net income that is available to common stock holders is all the net income that is left after deducting the preferred stock dividend from it.

Thus, the net income available to common stockholders can be calculated as,

Net Income available to common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividend

Net Income available to common stockholders = 1250000 - 175000

Net Income available to common stockholders = $1075000

EHealth Corporation has $1,000 par value bonds with 4 years to maturity. The bonds pay an 8% coupon rate with semi-annual coupon interest payments. The bond's closing price is quoted at 103.75. Suppose you purchase the bond for the closing price. What is the bond's yield to maturity?

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity(YTM) = 3.47%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity is the required rate of return (discount rate) that would equate the price of the bond and cash outflow  expected from the bond.  The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

DATA  

Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 8%× 1/2=40(note we divide by 2 because interest is paid semi-annually)

n= 4×2 = 8 (note there 2 half months in a year)

Face Value = 1000

YM-?, C-40, Face Value - 1,000, P-103.75/100×   1000 = 1037.5

YM = (40 + (1000-1037)/8) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1037.5  ) )  =0.0347

YM = 0.0347 × 100 = 3.47%  

Yield to Maturity = 3.47%

On January 1, 2018, Lizzy's Lemonade issues 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $81,000 for $71,638, priced to yield 6%. Interest is paid semiannually. What amount of interest expense will be recorded on June 30, 2018, the first interest payment date

Answers

Answer:

The amount of $2,149.14 will be recorded on June 30, 2018 , the first interest payment date.

Explanation:

The data below were extracted from the above information

Face amount $81,000

rate 5%

Issue price $71,638

Yield 6%

Since we already know that interest is paid semi annually, then ;

Amount of interest expense will be = issue price × yield

= $71,638 × 6% × 1/2

= $2,149.14

Amount of interest expense is therefore $2,149.14, to be recorded on June 30, 2018, the first interest payment date.

cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

A decrease in the basis will __________ a long hedger and __________ a short hedger. Group of answer choices hurt; hurt hurt; benefit benefit; have no effect upon benefit; benefit benefit; hurt

Answers

Answer:

hurt, benefit

Explanation:

The basis in a future contract is defined as the difference between the spot price of the asset in the cash market and the price of the same assets future contract.

A short hedge is an investment strategy that is used to protect hedge, against the risk of future decline in asset price or basically to hedge against potential losses by selling at a determined rate. This means that when one is in possession of a commodity and in order to protect against a decline, in the market, you sell (go short) the future contract , while long hedge is when you anticipate a need for the underlying commodity in the future. It means that to protect against an increase in the market price, you buy (go long) the future contract. Then when you are ready to buy the commodity, any increase in the market price is offset by your gain on the future contract.

The above means that where an asset and a contract are liquidated before due dates , there would be basis risk hence both the future and spot price need not move in lockstep before delivery date. This means that a decrease in the basis will benefit the short hedger and hurt the long hedger.

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $14,898.07

Explanation:

Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.

Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:

PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)

= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07

Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

Gross corporation

Ending inventory

2016 1,100,000

1. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2017, under dollar value LIFO

= 1,284,000 / 1.07

= $1,200,000

Ending inventory

= $1,100,000 + ( $1,100,000 - $100,000 ) × 1.07

= $1,207,000

2. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2018, under dollar value LIFO

= $1,450,000/1.25

= $1,160,000

Ending inventory

= $1,100,000 + ( $1,160,000 - $1,100,000) × 1.07

= $1,164,200

3. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2019, under dollar value LIFO

= $1,625,500/1.30

= $1,250,385

Ending inventory

= $1,164,200 + $90,385 × 1.30

= $1,281,701

Irene’s Dairy is deciding whether or not to enter the market for ice cream, currently monopolized by Mattie’s Ice-cream. If it enters the market, Mattie’s can either accommodate him and share his 10million in profits equally with Irene or fight him and cause a 5million loss for each in a price war.​ ​What would the profits be for Mattie’s Dairy if Irene does not enter the market?

Answers

Answer:

"Threaten to always accommodate" is the correct choice.

Explanation:

As we acknowledge accommodation seems to be the phase wherein we change current understanding in anything other than a sense that new information of interest is integrated. And then we can tell whether Mattie won't try to compromise Irene and will therefore surely consider to "intimidate to accommodate" Irene throughout all times. Accommodate means, for example, introducing a piece of different information about what another person asks mother in some kind of a railway station what it's really. Mother says this is train and starts running on what seems like a device like buses running on roadways.

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $20 per unit and whose variable expense is $17 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $8,100. Required: If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in dollar sales?

Answers

Answer:

the new break-even point in dollar sales is  $29,000.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Where, Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                                        = ($20 - $17) ÷ $20

                                                        = 0.30

New Break even point (dollar sales) = ($8,100 + $600) ÷ 0.30

                                                            = $29,000

All of the following statements concerning the characteristics of aggregate planning for services is true except

A. Group of answer choices
B. Demand is difficult to predict
C. Most services can be inventoried
D. Capacity is easy to predict
E. Labor is the most constraining resource

Answers

Answer:  D. Capacity is easy to predict

Explanation:

Aggregate planning for services involves organising the business areas of companies engaging in service provision or operation companies that also provide a service.

It is generally held that demand is difficult to predict and most services can be inventoried. It is also held that labor is the most constraining resource.

However, capacity in aggregate planning for services is not easy to predict. This is because services are not standadized and are instead varied and mostly unique. Therefore knowing the capacity to give to a service becomes hard to predict.
