Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital will be higher by 0.65% if it has to raise additional common equity capital.

Explanation:

By combining the WACC formula and retained earnings cost of capital,we will arrive at;

WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + Preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × Cost of capital

= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 12.4%

= 2.85% + 0.56% + 4.46%

= 7.87%

Also, using the same WACC formula and using common equity cost of capital, , we will arrive at the below;

WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × cost of capital

= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 14.2%

= 2.85% + 0.56% + 5.11%

= 8.52%

Therefore, increase cost using common equity over retained earnings is [ 8.52% - 7.87%]

= 0.65%

N.B we arrived at 4.92% for after tax by;

Pre tax 8.2%

Current tax rate 40%

= Pre tax × ( 1 - cost of debt)

= 8.2% × ( 1 - 40%)

= 8.2% × 0.6%

= 4.92%

You have been hired by the CFO of Lugones Industries to help estimate its cost of common equity. You have obtained the following data: (1) r d = yield on the firm's bonds = 7.00% and the risk premium over its own debt cost = 4.00%. (2) r RF = 5.00%, RP M = 6.00%, and b = 1.25. (3) D 1 = $1.20, P 0 = $35.00, and g = 8.00% (constant). You were asked to estimate the cost of common based on the three most commonly used methods and then to indicate the difference between the highest and lowest of these estimates. What is that difference?

Answers

Answer:

Under CAPM:

Re = Rf + Beta(Rm - Rf)

Rf = 5%

Rm - Rf = 6%

Beta = 1.25

Re = 5% + (1.25 x 6%) = 12.5%

Under dividend discount model:

Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Div₁ = $1.20

P₀ = $35

g = 8%

Re = ($1.20 / $35) + 8% = 11.43%

Under bond yield plus risk premium approach:

Re = Pre-tax cost of debt + risk premium over its own debt

Pre-tax cost of debt = 7%

risk premium over its own debt = 4%

Re = 7% + 4% = 11%

The highest cost of equity results from the CAPM model and it is 12.5% while the lowest results from using the bond yield plus risk approach (11%), the difference is 1.5% between them.

If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.

Answers

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.

= $95,125 - $95,000

= $125

The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.

We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.

= $94,125 - $95,187.50

= -$1,062.50

Therefore, Net profits is;

= $125 - $1,062.50

= -$937.50

Answers

Answer:

the "substantial user" of the facility built with the proceeds of the issue.

Explanation:

An Industrial revenue bond (IRB) can be defined as any municipal debt security issued by a local or state government agency with respect to a private firm which intend to undergo a particular project such as building facilities,  purchasing heavy machinery or equipments.

The interest income received from older Industrial revenue bonds (IRB) may be taxable to the holder at regular income tax rates if the holder is the "substantial user" of the facility built with the proceeds of the issue because in the true sense it is only beneficial to the holder and not the larger community.

Eccles Inc. Eccles Inc., a zero growth firm, has an expected EBIT of $100,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Eccles uses $500,000 of 12.0% debt, and the cost of equity to an unlevered firm in the same risk class is 16.0%. Refer to the data for Eccles Inc. What is the firm's cost of equity according to MM with corporate taxes? a. 25.9% b. 32.0% c. 28.8% d. 21.0% e. 23.3%

Answers

Answer:

b) 32%

Explanation:

Formula for calculating cost of equity is given as ;

r levered = r levered + ( debt / equity × ( r unlevered - cost of debt) × ( 1 - tax)

r unlevered is the cost of an unlevered equity = 16.0%

Debt = $500,000

Cost of debt = 12%

Equity = unknown

Firstly, we need to calculate the value of the firm and the formula is denoted by;

EBIT ( 1 - tax ) / Unlevered cost of equity + ( debt × tax )

= $100,000 ( 1 - 30% ) / 16% + ( $500,000 × 30% )

= $100,000 ( 0.7 ) /0.16 + $30,000

= $437,500 + $150,000

= $587,500

r levered = 16% + ( $500,000 / ( $587,500 - $500,000 ) × ( 16% - 12% ) × ( 1 - 30%)

= 0.16 + ( $500,000 / 87,500 ) × 0.04 × ( 0.7 )

= 0.16 + 5.71 × 0.04 × 0.7

= 32%

Telecom Systems can issue debt yielding 7 percent. The company is in a 30 percent bracket. What is its aftertax cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

Explanation:

The after tax cost of debt is the rate of debt after deducting the benefit from tax savings due to interest payments required by the debt which are deductible before calculating tax. The after tax cost of debt is somewhat an effective cost of debt. It is calculated using the following formula,

After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 0.07 * (1 - 0.3)

After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

Akram owns a small farm. He employs 80 workers in the field and has recently hired a manager to help him manage the farm. The income of the business varies greatly during the year. The farm makes a small profit but Akram is ambitious. He wants to take over a neighbour’s farm and increase the range of crops he sells. He thinks that he needs long-term finance and plans to take out bank loan to pay for the takeover. He has already borrowed money to buy a new tractor. A friend has advised him to form a company and sell shares

Answers

Question Completion:

Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low

Answer:

Akram's Farm

Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:

1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit.  The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers.  But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.

2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the  Accounts Receivable.  Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts.  The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.

Explanation:

Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company.  The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.

Velocity Company estimates the following for the next year, when common stock is expected to trade at a price-earnings ratio of 7. Earnings before interest and taxes $45 million Interest expense $5 million Effective income tax rate 30% Preferred stock dividends $10 million Common shares outstanding 2 million Common stock payout ratio 25% What is Velocity's approximate expected common stock market price per share next year?

Answers

Answer:

$63

Explanation:

The computation of the expected common stock market price per share for the next year is shown below:

Price earning ratio = Share price ÷ earning per share

where

Price earning ratio is 7

Earning per share is

= (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ number of common shares outstanding

= {($45 million - $5 million) × (1 - 0.30) - $10 million)} ÷ 2 million shares

= $9

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the expected common stock market price is

= 7 × $9

= $63

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?

Answers

Answer:

Cost performance index is 81.25%

Explanation:

Actual cost = $80,000

Planned value = $70,000

Earned value = $65,000

Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.

CPI = EV / AC

= $65,000 / $80,000

= 0.8125

= 0.8125 x 100

= 81.25%

If the government wants to raise tax revenue, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? Why?
a. granola bars.
b. cigarettes.
c. toilet paper.
d. automobile tires.
e. bird feeders.

Answers

Answer:

B,C

Explanation:

An excise tax is actually a tax that is levied on a good at purchase.

Cigarettes and tissue paper are good candidates for excise duty. This is because of the fact that both goods are inelastic. There would be no decrease in their consumption if an excise tax is placed on them. People would still purchase them. Tissue paper has no substitute while cigarette would still have buyers regardless of an increase in price.

Answer:

Twitter's amended S-1 filing

Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:

Explanation:

Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the  long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.

The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000

The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth  $185,574,000

The capital expenditure in 2013 =       $98,450,000

The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.

On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $1,850,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 7% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months

Answers

Answer:

Interest per six months =$64,750 .

Explanation:

Bonds are instruments used by companies, governments and other entries to borrow from the public.

They represent a contractual agreement where  the borrower commits to pay a percentage of the principal amount borrowed plus the principal amount to the lender or investor.

The proportion of the amount borrowed which is paid as interest is called coupon. The interest payment is computed as the the coupon rate in percentage multiplied by the amount borrowed.

Interest payment = Coupon rate (%) × Nominal Value

 Annual interest payment    = 7%  × 1,850,000 =$129,500

Semi-annual interest payment = Annual interest payment/2

Semi-annual interest payment =129,500 /2 =64,750 .

Interest per six months =$64,750 .

Note we had to divide by 2 because they are two six months in a year.

g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?

Answers

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.

Now

Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid      +     $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated

= $1,440,000

Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.

Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4     = $360,000

Total Revenue at $16 is $640.

Total Cost at $16 is $605.

Profit = 640 - 605

= $35

balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer: $2,420,000‬

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.

Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets

Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities

= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000

= $4,610,000‬

Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000

= $2,420,000‬

Byrd Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 205,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.73 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent and there are no taxes. a. Use MM Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. 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

Answers

Complete Question:

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?

Answer:

7.96%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the formula:

WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100%         +          

After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100%            +        

Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%

Here,

Cost of equity is 17%

Cost of preferred stock is 11%

Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost *  (1 - Tax rate)

This implies,

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) =  5.4%

Equity weight is 10% weight in equity

Preferred stock weight is 25%

Debt Weight is 65%

By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:

WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%)      +     11% * (25% / 100%)    +    5.4% * (65% / 100%)

WACC = 1.7%   +   2.75%   +    3.51%

WACC = 7.96%

When the cost of goods sold is deducted from the sales revenue so the gross marketing contribution should come. Neither it is trade margin, nor net marketing contribution.In other words, the difference is called as gross margin.

Therefore we can conclude that the correct option is B.
