Southland Corporation has a present capital structure consisting of common stock (10 million shares) and debt ($150 million, 8% coupon rate). The company needs to raise $60 million and is undecided between two financing plans. Plan A: Equity financing. Under this plan, an additional common stock will be sold at $15 per share. Plan B: Debt financing. Under this plan, the firm will issue 10% coupon bonds. At what level of operating income (EBIT) will the firm be indifferent between the two plans? Assume a 40% marginal tax rate.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

Explanation:

Indifferent level of EBIT refers to the EBIT level where the he Earnings Per Share (EPS) two alternative financial plans are the same.

Indifferent level of EBIT can be calculated using the following formula:

[(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SA = [(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SB .................... (1)

Where:

EBIT = Indifference level of EBIT

FA = Fixed interest costs under plan B = Interest on existing debt = $150 * 8% = $12 million

FB = Fixed interest costs under plan A = Interest on existing debt + Interest on new debt = ($150 * 8%) + ($60 * 10%) = $18 million

T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40

SA = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan B = Existing number of shares + New number of shares = 10 million + ($60 million / $15) = 10 million + 4 million = 14 million

SB = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan A = Existing number of shares = 10 million

Substiuting the values into equation (1) and solve for EBIT, we have:

[(EBIT - 12) * (1 - 0.40)] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * (1 - 0.40)] / 10

[(EBIT - 12) * 0.60] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * 0.60] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] / 14 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] * 10 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] * 14

EBIT6 - 72 = EBIT8.40 - 151.20

-72 + 151.20 = EBIT8.40 - EBIT6

EBIT2.40 = 79.20

EBIT = 79.20 / 2.40

EBIT = $33 million

Therefore, the level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

2. Roth retirement funds require you to pay taxes on your investment dollars up-front, while

older. What are the pros and cons of each option?
(10 points: 5 for at least one pro and 5 for at least con)

Answers

Answer:

The Pros and Cons of Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA or 401(K):

Roth IRA is not advantageous to those, who are starting to save late in their career.  It favors the younger worker, who is starting out with low-paying jobs at lower-paying tax rates, who will later be earning more.

With Roth IRA, you suffer the tax burden upfront when you are active and while making your contributions, so that you can enjoy your retirement benefits tax-free.  This is why the younger worker benefits more.  In the prime of life with little responsibilities, you can settle the taxman so that you can be free of him later in older age.  But, if you are in the high tax bracket, this category is not funny for you, anyway.  The IRS has an income limit for this category, therefore, you must go for the traditional IRA.

The traditional IRA saves you the tax burden initially, but you can never be free of the IRS.  It must take its share later, having allowed you to enjoy tax-free contributions.  When the net is filled, the IRS cuts its percentage off.

You will never feel bad then, because your tax rate will surely be reduced in comparison with when you are making the contributions.  So, it is just and right to allow the IRS, who generously helped you to grow the nest in the first place to take its just and lawful cut.  It does not bleed too much then, afterall you are drying up with life's responsibilities, including reduced tax bracket, and many of your children have started answering to the IRS independently.  This is the better time to deal with IRS, anyway.

Explanation:

The question has the explanation:  ROTH IRAs are retirement funds that allow you to pay taxes on your investments into retirement funds as you are making the contributions, so that you are free to make your withdrawals after at least 5 years without paying additional taxes.

The traditional IRAs or the 401(K) encourage you to make your retirement contributions without paying taxes on them so that you can contribute more.  Then the IRS will bounce on you to pay the taxes when you are making withdrawals having grown the investments.

IRAs mean Individual Retirement Accounts which individuals use to save and accumulate their retirement funds.

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current ratio is 2. The only current liabilities are notes payable. What is the total debt ratio?

Answers

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2  = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%

A loan is being amortized by means of level monthly payments at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. The amount of principal repaid in the 12th payment is 1000 and the amount of principal repaid in the tth payment is 3700. Calculate t.

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 216

Explanation:

The value of "t" can be calculated using the compounding formula given as under:

Principal Amount * (1 + r)^(t-n)/n   =  Future Value

Here

Principal Amount is $1,000

r is 8%

n is the number of payment which is 12th here

Future Value is $3,700

By putting values, we have:

$1,000 * (1 + 8%)^(t-12)/12 = $3,700

(1.08)^ (t-12)/12 = 3.7

By taking natural log on both sides:

(t-12)/12 = 17

t = 216

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local currency unit) and liabilities of 100,000. During this initial year of operation, the subsidiary reported a profit of 49,000 kites. It distributed two dividends, each for 7,300 kites with one dividend declared on March 1 and the other on October 1. Applicable exchange rates for 1 kite follow:

January 1, 2017 (start of business) $0.80
March 1,2017 0.78
Weighted average rate for 2017 0.77
October 1,2017 0.76
December 31, 2017 0.75

Required:
a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What transfation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?
b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.
c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

Answers

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study

Answers

Answer:

Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.

Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.

Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

The capitalized cost of $10,000 every 5 years forever, starting now at an interest rate of 10% per year, is closest to

Answers

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.

Initial cost = Principal - $10,000

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time/100

Given Principal = $10,000

Rate (in %) = 10%

Time (in years) = 5 years

Interest = 10,000*10*5/100

Interest = $5000

Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.

Capitalized cost = $10,000+$5,000

Capitalized cost = $15,000

Hence the capitalized cost of $10,000 every 5 years forever, starting now at an interest rate of 10% per year, is closest to $15,000

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $5,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $98 per unit

Sales= 11,000 units

Variable cost per unit= (5*3) + (2.5*18) + (2.5*11) + 2.7= $90.2

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 80,000 per month

Contribution margin income statement:

Sales= 98*11,000= 1,078,000

Total variable cost= (90.2*11,000)= (992,200)

Contribution margin= 85,800

Fixed costs= (80,000)

Net operating income= 5,800

The estimated Net operating income for February should be considered as the $5,800.

Giving that:

Selling price per unit is $98.Sales in February is 11,000 units.Fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $80,000.

Calculation of the estimated net operating income;

Variable cost / unit =  ( 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 11 ) + 2.7

= $90.2

Now, we calculate contribution margin,

Total Sales value = $98 [tex]\times[/tex] 11,000 =  $1,078,000

Total variable cost = $90.2 * 11,000 = $992,200

Contribution margin = Total Sales value - Total variable cost

= $1,078,000 - $992,200

= $85,800

Now, we can calculate net operating income by using following formula,

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed selling and administrative expense

Net operating income = $85,800 - $80,000

Net operating income= 5,800

= $2.95 × 5,000

= $14,750 favorable

And, the total direct material cost variance is

= Material price variance + material cost variance

= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable

= $21,500 unfavorable

What is the internal rate of return of a project costing $3,000; having after-tax cash flows of $1,500 in each of the two years of its two-year life; and a salvage value of $800at the end of the second year in addition to the $1,500 cash flow

Answers

Answer:

Internal rate of return =  16.3%

Explanation:

The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero  

If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation  

If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation  

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

Step 1 : Calculate NPVa at 10%

NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial cost

PV of cash inflow = 1500× ( 1- 1.1^(-2))/0.1=2,603.31

PV of salvage value = 800×  1.1^(-2) =661.16

NPV = 2,603.31 + 6,661.16  - 3000= 264.46

Step 2 :Calculate NPVb at 20%

PV of cash inflow = 1500× ( 1- 1.2^(-2))/0.2=2291.67

PV of salvage value = 800×  1.2^(-2) =555.56

NPV =2291.67 + 555.56  - 3,000  = -152.78

Step 3 : Calculate IRR

IRR = 10% + (264.46/(264.46+152.78))× (20-10)%= 16.3%

Internal rate of return =  16.3%

In your own words, assess the process of international strategy, competencies, planning, and international competitive advantage.

Answers

Explanation:

An international strategy can be understood as the set of processes and action plans that a company will implement to achieve its objectives in an external market.

An organization decides to internationalize its activities with the objective of conquering a different market that can bring different competitive and financial benefits to the company.

To be successful, the organizational strategy must comprise the set of requirements that must be followed to include itself in a different market, such as, for example, the set of policies that will guide the operation of the business.

In addition, it is necessary to plan its activities in such a way that they are in line with the fundamental requirements of the country, such as multicultural norms, values, tastes, preferences, etc.

Companies generally use internationalization as a competitive strategy, since this can be an effective means of reducing costs, due to the cheaper labor and the less bureaucratic process. A well-positioned brand also guarantees a differential that adds to the ease of an organization being successful in the process of conquering new markets.

Suppose that you have an old car that is a real gas guzzler. It is 10 years old and could be sold to a local dealer for ​$ cash. The annual maintenance costs will average ​$ per year into the foreseeable​ future, and the car averages only miles per gallon. Gasoline costs ​$ per​ gallon, and you drive miles per year. You now have an opportunity to replace the old car with a better one that costs ​$. If you buy​ it, you will pay cash. Because of a​ 2-year warranty, the maintenance costs are expected to be negligible. This car averages miles per gallon. Should you keep the old car or replace​ it? Utilize a​ 2-year comparison period and assume that the new car can be sold for ​$ at the end of year 2. Assume that the salvage value of the old car at the end of year 2 will be​ $0. Ignore the effect of income taxes and let your MARR be ​%.

Answers

Answer:

you should replace the old car with a newer and more efficient one

Explanation:

all the numbers are missing, so I looked them up:

current sale value of old car $400

maintenance costs per year $800

gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/10 x 15,000 = $5,250

resale value in 2 years = $0

cost of replacing old car = $8,000

maintenance costs per year $0

gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/30 x 15,000 = $1,750

resale value in 2 years = $5,000

MARR = 15%

if you keep the old car, your net cash flows will be:

Year 1 = -$6,050

Year 2 = -$6,050

if you change your car, your net cash flows will be:

Year 0 = -$8,000 + $400 = -$7,600

Year 1 = -$1,750

Year 2 = $3,250

keeping the old car results in a NPV = -$6,050/1.15 - $6,050/1.15² = -$5,260.87 - $4,574.67 = -$9,835.54

changing for a new car results in a NPV = -$7,600 -$1,750/1.15 + $3,250/1.15² = -$7,600 -$1,521.74 + $2,457.47 = -$6,664.27

since both options result in negative cash flows, we must select the option that results in a smaller loss
