Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$29.630

Explanation:

For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital

= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million

=  $375 million

Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)

= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)

= $375 million ÷ 0.045

= $8,333.33 million

Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt

= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million

= $5,333.33 million

Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares

= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million

= $29.630

A one-year insurance policy was purchased on June 1 for $2,400. The adjusting entry on December 31 would be:

Answers

Answer:

Adjusting Journal Entry:

Debit Insurance Expense $1,400

Credit Prepaid Insurance $1,400

To record the insurance expense for the year (7 months).

Explanation:

This adjustment will cause the Prepaid Insurance account to remain $1,000.  This balance represents the insurance cost for 5 months having deducted the insurance cost for 7 months from June 1 to December 31.  So, in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, only $1,400 Insurance was incurred for the current year.  The balance will be charged to the account when the service is consumed.

On June 13, the board of directors of Siewert Inc. declared a 2-for-1 stock split on its 120 million, $1 par, common shares, to be distributed on July 1. The market price of Siewert common stock was $35 on June 13. Prepare a journal entry that summarizes the declaration and distribution of the stock split if it is not to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. What is the par per share after the split

Answers

Answer:

Siewert Inc.

Journal Entry:

Memo:  This is note that the stock has been split 2-for-1 and the number of common shares increased to 240 (120 x 2) million.

No journal entry is required for a split of 2-for-1 shares.  What is required is a memo that indicates that the shares have been split.

The par value is now $0.50 ($1/2)

Explanation:

When the directors of Siewert Inc. declare a stock split, it does not require  any journal entry.  Instead, a memo is required to describe the declaration and the new number of shares that are now authorized if this has increased, and outstanding.  The 2-for-1 split means that stockholders who held 1 share before will now be entitled to 2 shares.  This doubling of the number of shares will affect the par value of the shares, causing it to divide by 2.  For example, Siewert Inc.'s par value of common shares was $1 before the declaration of the split.  After the split, the par value will change to $0.50 or half.  This split will also affect the market price of the shares as investors are likely to reduce the current market price to about half of its prevailing price.

Answers

Answer:

5.74%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity +  weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

weight of debt =  D / (D + E) = 1.35/ (1.35 + 1) = 0.574468 = 57.4468%

weight of equity = 100% - 57.4468% = 42.5532%

let x represent pretax cost of debt

8.1% = 0.425532 x 14% +( 0.574468x) x 0.65

8.1% = 0.373404x + 5.957448%

solve for x

Answer:

Jacob purchased 10000 shares form Grebe corporation two years ago for $24000

The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share

profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year

Common Fixed Expenses            59,000

Net Operating Income               $25,000

Instructions: (As given).

Answer:

Crossfire Company

1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

Sales = $816,000

Total costs = Variable costs + Traceable fixed costs

= $675,000 + $141,000

= $816,000

2. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

= $530,000

Total costs = $530,000 ($480,000 + 50,000)

3. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

= $286,000

Total costs = $286,000 ($195,000 + 91,000)

4. A new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that are computed in requirements 2 and 3:

                                                Total Company         East              West

Sales                                             $816,000        $530,000       $286,000

Variable Expenses                        675,000           480,000          195,000

Contribution margin                       141,000             50,000          105,000

Traceable Fixed Expenses            141,000             50,000            91,000

Segment Margin                                $0                     $0                   $0

Common Fixed Expenses            59,000

Net Operating Income/(loss)    ($59,000)

Crossfire's net operating income (loss) in the new segmented income statement is: $59,000

5. I think that Crossfire should allocate the common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region.

This ensures that Crossfire does not run into net operating loss, company-wide.  The segmented sales revenues for the regions can be used to allocate the common fixed expenses.  Other suitable bases are traceable fixed expense, number of sales and administrative staff, or activity cost pools, using activity-based costing technique.

Explanation:

a) Break-even point in sales dollars is the sales point at which Crossfire's sales revenue will be equal to the total costs.  At this point, Crossfire will not make any profit or incur any loss.

You are the manager of a firm that produces goods X and Y. Your rm receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $90,000 per year from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is |-0.75| and the cross price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is -1.7.

Required:
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?

Answers

Answer:

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price

-0.75 = % change in quantity / 2%

-1.5 = % change in quantity

lets assume that 1,000 units of X were sold at $40 each, total revenue = $40,000

new total revenue = 985 x $40.80 = $40,188

revenue generated by good X will increase by 0.47%, from $40,000 to $40,188

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of Y / % change in price of X

-1.7 = % change quantity of Y / 2%

-3.4% = % change quantity of Y

lets assume that 1,000 units of Y were sold at $90 each, total revenue = $90,000

new total revenue = 966 x $91.80 = $88,678.80

revenue generated by good Y will decrease by -1.47%, from $90,000 to $88,678.80

Answer following question with true or false and explain.A firm's profit margin is 5%, its debt/assets ratio is 56%, and its dividend payout ratio is 40%. If the firm is operating at less than full capacity, then sales could increase to some extent without the need for external funds, but if it is operating at full capacity with respect to all assets, including fixed assets, then any positive growth in sales will require some external financing.

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As a company's sales level increases, its current assets will increase, e.g. cash, inventories, accounts receivables increase. generally, also the fixed assets increase, specially if the firm was previous producing at full capacity even before total sales increased. But as sales increase, not only do the company's assets increase, its current liabilities generally increase also, and its profits should increase. In this case, 60% of the company's profits are reinvested in the company, and the liabilities represent more than half of the total assets. Therefore, it is possible that the company needs external financing, but it is also possible that it doesn't. You cannot assume that the company will necessarily need external financing, because retained earnings  and the increase in current liabilities might be enough to finance the company's growth in sales.

Harver company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 58000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 58000 units of RX5 for 18.50 per unit. determine the total incremental cost making 58000 units of Rx5. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%

Answers

Answer:

Decision = Make

Explanation:

The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows

DATA

Direct material = $4  (100% variable)

Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)

Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)

Total cost per unit = $21

Offered price = $18.5 per unit

Total units = 58,000

Solution

Incremental cost of making

Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000

Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000

Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600

Total cost = $825,600

Incremental cost of buying

Total cost = No. of units x offered price

Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5

Total cost = $1,073,000

Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.

Careco Company and Audaco Inc are identical in size and capital structure. However, the riskiness of their assets and cash flows are somewhat different, resulting in Careco having a WACC of 10% and Audaco a WACC of 12%. Careco is considering Project X, which has an IRR of 10.5% and is of the same risk as a typical Careco project. Audaco is considering Project Y, which has an IRR of 11.5% and is of the same risk as a typical Audaco project. Now assume that the two companies merge and form a new company, Careco/Audaco Inc. Moreover, the new company's market risk is an average of the pre-merger companies' market risks, and the merger has no impact on either the cash flows or the risks of Projects X and Y. Which of the following statements is correct?
A) if evaluated using the correct post-merger wacc, project x would have a negative npv.
B) after the merger, careco/audaco would have a corporate wacc of 11%. therefore, it should reject project x but accept project y.
C) careco/audaco's wacc, as a result of the merger, would be 10%.
D) after the merger, careco/audaco should select project y but reject project x. if the firm does this, its corporate wacc will fall to 10.5%.
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.

Answers

Answer:

E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.

Explanation:

Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.

Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours. His total cost of operating one tour is fixed at $450. Vincent’s cost is not reduced if he runs a tour with a partially full bus. While his cost is the same for all tours, Vincent charges each passenger his/her willingness to pay (reservation value): adults $18 per trip, children $10 per trip, and senior citizens $12 per trip. At those rates, on a typical day Vincent’s demand is:

Answers

Answer:

There is some information missing, and when I looked for it I found similar questions but the demand was already given and the question was about Vincent's total daily income.

Passenger                  Price                  Daily demand

Adults                          $18                        70

Children                      $10                        25

Senior citizens            $12                        55

total                                                           150

total revenue per day = ($18 x 70) + ($10 x 25) + ($12 x 55) = $1,260 + $250 + $660 = $2,170

total operating costs per day = (150 / 50) x $450 = $1,350

operating income per day = $2,170 - $1,350 = $820

22. On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is eight years. The first payment of $675,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $3,600,000. The present value of the lease payments is $3,961,183. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease

Answers

Answer:

$293,980.13

Explanation:

Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease

First Step is to find the interest for year 2021

Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183

Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)

=$3,286,183

Hence,

2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%

2021 Interest = $328,618.3

Second Step

Second Payment $675,000

Less Interest (328,618.3)

Reduced balance $346,381.7

Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease

2021 $3,286,183

Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)

January 1 2022 Liability = $2,939,801.3× 10%

2022 Interest Revenue =$293,980.13

Therefore the amount of interest revenue that Princess will record in 2022 on the lease will be $293,980.13

​Half of all your potential customers would pay $10 for your product but the other half would only pay $8. You cannot tell them apart. Your marginal costs are $4. If you set the price at $10, the expected profit is:

Answers

Answer:

The expected profit is:

$5.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

Profit from customers paying $10 = $6 ($10 - $4)

Profit from customers paying $8 = $4 ($8 - $4)

Expected profit  from customers paying $10, = $6 x 0.5 = $3

Expected profit from customers paying $8, = $4 x 0.5 = $2

Total expected profit = $5.

The expected profit is the profit from customers paying $10 weighted with probability plus the weighted profit from customers paying $8.  Adding the expected profit from each class of customers gives the overall expected profit combined.

Answer:

Expected Profit is $4

Explanation:

Price = $8

Marginal Cost = $4

The formula to derive the expected profit is Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost------equ(1)

Using equation (1) and given information, expected profit is calculated as

Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost

Expected Profit = 8 - 4

Expected Profit = $4

Thus, the Expected Profit is $4

A firm has sales of $1,220, net income of $226, net fixed assets of $544, and current assets of $300. The firm has $101 in inventory. What is the common-size statement value of inventory

Answers

Answer:

11.97%

Explanation:

Common size statement value of inventory is where all accounts are expressed as a percentage of total assets.

Total assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets

= $544 + $300

= $844

Common size statement value of inventory = Inventory ÷ Total assets

= $101 ÷ $844

= 0.1197

= 11.97%

Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%. What is revenue on 40 million units

Answers

Answer: 700 million

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%.

The revenue on 40 million units will be calculated as:

= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)

= 1,000,000,000 × 70%

= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7

= 700,000,000

The answer is 700 million.

The revenue on 40 million units is 700,000,000.

The calculation is as follows:

= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)

= 1,000,000,000 × 70%

= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7

= 700,000,000

Therefore we can conclude that The revenue on 40 million units is 700,000,000.

How much FUTA tax is due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes?

Answers

Answer:

$102

Explanation:

FUTA tax due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes, can be calculated by deducting the Paid state unemployment tax by the FUTA tax.

DATA

Paid State Unemployment Tax = (7,000+7,000+3,000) x 5.4%

Paid State Unemployment Tax = $918

FUTA tax rate in 2019 = 6%

Solution

FUTA tax (6% x $17,000) = $1,020

FUTA tax due =  $1,020 - $918

FUTA tax due = $102
