Bad Wolf Enterprises is recalling and reissuing an outstanding bond offering. The reissued bond offering will be 10 year 5% coupon bonds. The present value of the coupons savings of the new offering is $588,365, the future value of the extra principal payment of the new offering is $350,000, and the administrative fees associated with the recall and reissue are $112,394. Calculate the net benefit ( ) or cost (-) of the call and reissue for Bad Wolf Enterprises
Answer:
Bad Wolf Enterprises
The net benefit of the call and reissue for Bad Wolf Enterprises is:
= $261,071.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Bond maturity period = 10 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Present value factor at 5% for 10 years = 0.614
Present value of the coupons savings of the new offering = $588,365
Future value of the extra principal payment of the new offering = $350,000
Present value of the extra principal payment = $214,900 ($350,000 * 614)
Administrative fees associated with the recall and reissue = $112,394
Total cost = $327,294 ($214,900 + $112,394)
The net benefit of the call and reissue = Total benefits minus total costs
= $261,071 ($588,365 - $327,294)

You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:
Answer:
Profit-maximizing output = 6 units
Explanation:
Given:
Demand curve = P = 63 − 5Q
Cost C = 10 + 3Q
Find:
Profit-maximizing output
Computation:
In monopoly maximum profit stand where;
MR = MC
So,
TR = P x Q
TR = (63 - 5q)Q
TR = 63Q - 5Q²
MR = d(TR) / dQ
So,
MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ
MR = 63 - 10Q
MC = dC / dQ
MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ
MC = 3
So,
Profit-maximizing output
MR = MC
63 - 10Q = 3
Q = 6
Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

An object was thrown from rest upward with an initial velocity of 10m/s with time frame of 6s find the distance of the object from it's resting point
Answer:
5.10 m
Explanation:
Given that :
Initial Velocity, u = 10m/s
Time taken, t = 6s
Distance traveled by the object , s
The final velocity, v at this point = 0
Upward throw, g = - (negative)
Using the relation :
u² =. V²-2gs
g = 9.8 m/s
10² = 0² - 2(9.8)*S
100 = 19.6S
S = 100 / 19.6
Distance traveled = 5.10 m

Gartner Manufacturing Inc. purchases a component from a Malaysian supplier. The demand for that component is exactly 70 units each day. The company is open for business 250 days each year. When the company reorders the product, the lead time from the supplier is exactly 10 days. The product costs $14.00. The company determined that its inventory carrying cost is 20%. The company's order cost is $30.00. How many orders per year will be made, when using the EOQ
Answer:
Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
D= 70*250= 17,500
S= $30
H= 14*0.2= $2.8
Now, using the formula:
EOQ= √[(2*17,500*30) / 2.8]
EOQ= √375,000
EOQ= 612.37 = 612
Finally, the number of orders:
Number of orders= total demand / EOQ
Number of orders= 17,500 / 612
Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders
Spa Inc. gathered the following information related to its gift card sales for 2020, its first year of selling gift cards: Sales of nonrefundable gift cards, 2020$25,500 Gift card redemptions, 2020$18,360 Spa Inc. estimates that 95% of the value of gift cards sold in 2020 will be redeemed while 5% will remain unclaimed. Under the proportional method, what would Spa Inc. recognize for gift card breakage revenue in 2020
Answer: $969
Explanation:
Since 5% of the value of the gift card sold will be unclaimed, the amount claimed will be:
= $25500 - (5% × $25500)
= $25500 -(0.05 × $25500)
= $25500 - $1275
= $24225
We then find the percentage of the cards that have been redeemed already and this will be:
= $18360 / $24225
= 0.7579
= 76%
Therefore, breakage in revenue to be recognized will be:
= ($25500 × 5%) × 76%
= $1275 × 76%
= $1275 × 0.76
= $969

Mike and Marianne pulled their resources together to open a coffee place. They each put $20,000 and also took a bank loan of $20,000. Interest rate the bank charges is 8% and estimated tax rate is 30% for their business. If they both want a 12% return on their investment, what is the weighted average cost of capital
Answer:
WACC= 9.8%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.
After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt
= (1-0.3)× 8% = 5.6%
Total Equity = 20,000× 2= 40,000.
Bank loan = 20,000
Total value fund = 40,000 + 20,000 = 60,000
WACC= 5.5%× (2/6) + 12%× (4/6) = 9.8%
WACC= 9.8%

Q 10.7: Melbee Farms is considering purchasing a new combine that would help them finish their harvesting faster, thus allowing them to pick up extra revenue by doing custom combining for other farmers. The combine and headers cost $487,000. They expect to have net cash flows of $157,000 in year 1, $182,000 in year 2, $202,000 in year 3, and $213,000 in year 4. If they discount the cash flows by 7%, what is the discounted payback period for the combine
Answer:
Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month
Explanation:
The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost
To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:
Year Cash flow DF Present value
0 487,000 × 1 = (487,000)
