Sound Systems (SS) has 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $37 a share. SS recently paid an annual dividend in the amount of $1.20 per share. The dividend growth rate is 4 percent. SS also has 4,500 bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,000 per bond that are selling at 99 percent of par. The bonds have a 6 percent coupon and a 6.7 percent yield to maturity. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 6.31 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the return required by the providers of long term permanent source of capital to the firm.

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kp × (P/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of equity

    = $1.20 / $37.00 + 0.04

    = 0.0724 or 7.24 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = (200,000 × $37) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $7,400,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 62.42 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

    = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

    = 6.70 % × (1 - 0.34)

    = 4.42 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

      = (4,500 × $1,000 × 99%) ÷ (200,000 × $37 + 4,500 × $1,000 × 99%)

      = $4,455,000 ÷ ($7,400,000 + $4,455,000)

      = 37.28 %

Therefore,

WACC = 7.24 % × 62.42 % +  4.42 % × 37.28 %

           = 6.31 %

Which of the following statements accurately brings out the difference between technology enthusiasts and early adopters?

A. While the customer segment in the introduction stage consists of early adopters, the customers entering the market in the growth stage are technology enthusiasts.
B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.
C. While early adopters make up the smallest market segment, technology enthusiasts make up the mass market.
D. Firms need to communicate products' potential applications in a more direct way when attracting technology enthusiasts rather than early adopters.

Answers

Answer:

B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.

Explanation:

When a company is growing it attracts various types of customers that patronise their products.

The technology enthusiasts are those ones that will test a beta version of a product and make technological recommendations. They have passion for testing latest gadgets and have more knowledge of the product than the average customer.

Early adopters are those that adopt a product before most other people. They are less concerned with technology concerns, but rather are visionary.

They focus on the potential of a product and therefore promote it to other users. A trait of early adopter is that they want to stay ahead of the trend so they seek out new products.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] On April 1, 2016, Cyclone's Backhoe Co. purchases a trencher for $318,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $59,000. Compute depreciation expense for both years ending December 2016 and 2017 assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method. (Enter all amounts positive values.)

Answers

Answer:

2016= Annual depreciation= $77,700

2017= Annual depreciation= $75,620

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $318,000.

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $59,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(318,000 - 59,000)/5]= 103,600

2016:

Annual depreciation= (103,600/12)*9= 77,700

2017:

Annual depreciation= [(259,000 - 77,700)/5]*2= 75,620

Compute the payback period for this investment.

Answers

Answer:

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Explanation:

The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.  

The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.

The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.

This will be done as follows:

The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal

50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000

The balance required to equate 190,000 would be

balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000

Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months

                            = 3 years 4 months

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

For each of the items listed below, state whether they increase or decrease the balance in cumulative translation adjustments (assuming a credit balance at the beginning of the year) when the foreign currency strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar during the year.
Net Income Dividends Declared
A. Decrease Increase
B. Increase Decrease
C. Decrease Decrease
D. Increase Increase

Answers

Answer:

Option B. Increase in Net Income and decrease in Dividends

Explanation:

The weakening position of the US dollar will make US products cheaper in the international market and thus would increase the exports of the product of the company. This will increase the net income of the company. Thus after cumulative translation adjustment what we have is increased net income.

Similarly as dividend declared would be in US dollars, when preparing a translated financial statement, the dividend declared would decrease its value as the foreign currency has strengthening position.

Conor Airlines Inc. recently issued $50 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year. Yahoo.finance shows that the stock has a beta of 0.97. The current risk-free rate is 2.50% and the market return is 11%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?

Answers

Answer: $38.39

Explanation:

First calculate the required return according to CAPM;

Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)

= 2.50% + 0.97 ( 11% - 2.50%)

= 10.745%

Then using the Dividend discount model and remembering that there is no growth rate;

Value = Next dividend / ( required return - growth rate)

= (50 * 8.25%) / ( 10.745% - 0)

= 4.125/10.745%

= $38.39

Answer:

$38.29

Explanation:

Ke = Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)

Ke=0.0250+0.97*(0.11+0.0250)

Ke=0.10745

Ke=10.75 appr.

Po= Dividend / (Ke-g)

Po= 50*0.0825 / (0.10745 - 0)

Po=4.125/0.10745

Po=38.3899

Po=38.29

Thus, the intrinsiv value of this preferred stock is $38.29

What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? ((Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answers

Answer:

a) $21.63

b) $4,433,125

Explanation:

plan I, total stocks outstanding = 205,000

plan II, total stocks outstanding = 125,000, and $1,730,000 in debt ($1,730,000 x 8% = $138,400 in interests)

under MM proposition I, a firm's total value is equal whether it uses external financing (debt) or not:

205,000P₀ = 125,000P₀ + $1,730,000

205,000P₀ - 125,000P₀ = $1,730,000

80,000P₀ = $1,730,000

P₀ = $1,730,000 / 80,000 = $21.625 = $21.63

the firm's total value = $21.625 x 205,000 = $4,433,125

In capital rationing, alternative proposals that survive initial screening by cash payback and average rate of return methods are further analyzed using:________

Answers

Answer:

Net present value and internal rate of return

Explanation:

when making a decision between alternative projects, initial analysis is done with the cash payback and average rate of return.

Cash payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows

Average rate of return = Average net income / average book value.

this is followed by the Net present value analysis and Internal rate of return determination.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

project with the highest positive project NPV should be chosen.

Also, a project with an IRR greater than the discount rate should be chosen. when choosing between alternative projects, the project with the highest IRR should be chosen if the IRR is greater than the discount rate.

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,080,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 17%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:

Sales $3,400,000
Variable expenses 1,450,000
Contribution margin 1,950,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed
out-of-pocket costs $670,000
Depreciation 828,000
Total fixed expenses 1,498,000
Net operating income $452,000

Required:

a. Compute the project's net present value.
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return.
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

Answers

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 +  $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment =  $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

b. Tips for writing recommendations:

A. Your recommendations should always be the result of prior logical analysis.

B. Your recommendations should never be in the form of a command.

Explanation:

A good conclusion touches the theme or main topic, summarizes the main points, and connects with the introduction, but with a sense of closure.  Conclusions should be sound and logical.  Irrelevant conclusions are annoying to the senses.  Without a conclusion, the report will sound like one illogical move without clear direction and purpose.

Andrew is injured in an accident caused primarily by the negligence of Bob. Andrew suffers $100,000 worth of harm. Bob is 70% to blame, Andrew 30%. How much will Andrew recover from Bob under the rules of a state that has adopted comparative fault?
a. $0
b. $30,000
c. $70,000
d. $100,000

Answers

Answer:

$70,000

Explanation:

From the question, it is seen that Bob is the reason for this accident so he is the to bear a cost of treating Andrew based on comparative fault.

He contributed greatly to the accident therefore he is liable to a 70% payment of the $100000 cost of treatment.

100000 *70%

= $70000

Therefore by this law Andre will recover $70000 from him.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.66 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
A. 3.96%
B. 6.24%
C. 5.82%
D. 3.66%
E. 3.45%

Answers

Answer:

D. 3.66%

Explanation:

For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $2,120

Future value or Face value = $2,000

PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60

NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 3.66%
