You are considering an investment in software company. The beta of software companies is 1.5. The annual risk-free rate is 2% and the annual market premium is 8%. The expected annual profit from the software subscription is $100,000 and it is expected to grow at the rate of 6% per year. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay for the company? A. $1,370,925.78 B. $1,250,000.00 C. $1,123,221.12 D. $908,153.55

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum price = $ 1,325,000  

Explanation:

The maximum price to be paid for the company is the present value of the annual profit discounted at the rate of return on equity.

The return on equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)

Under CAPM,

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.

Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:

Ke= ?., Rf- 2%, Rm-Rf - 8%

Ke- 2% + 1.5× (8%)= 14 %

Price for the company can now be determined using the present value of the perpetuity formula with growth as follows:

The model is represented below:  

P = A ×(1+g)/ ke- g  

DATA

A- 100,000

g- 6%

ke- 14%

Price =  100,000× (1.06)/(0.14-0.06)= $ 1,325,000  

Maximum price = $ 1,325,000

Answers

Answer:

It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.

Explanation:

It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.

So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

If we use high tech industry as our subject here, I would say that there is no limit to continuous change. We can look at he last 45 years and ever since Steve Jobs developed the Apple I, PCs have continuously evolved into different products and their rate of technological evolution has currently increased. Any modern smartphone is hundreds of times more powerful than the first PCs, they are even more powerful than huge computers that existed back then. Currently high tech companies are trying to develop AI, and who knows what after. The only problem is that project lives tend to be very short, but that is part of the game. The profit margins of the firms that are successful are huge, just look at how Apple became the first company to be worth more than 2 trillions.

Shares issued, 7/1/2021 5,000

Preferred stock, $100 par, 7% cumulative
Shares outstanding, 1/1/2021 4,000

What is the number of shares J should use to calculate 2018 basic earnings per share?

a. 20,000.
b. 22,500.
c. 25,000 .
d. 27,000.

Answers

Answer: b. 22,500

Explanation:

J should use the total number of outstanding common stock at end of year to calculate 2018 basic earnings.

As a result of the Stock-split, the shares are split into 2 for 1.

There were 10,000 shares split so;

= 10,000 * 2

= 20,000

On the 1st of July, 5,000 shares were issued. This means that up till December 2021, the stock was outstanding for 6 months.

This will reflected by;

= 5,000 * 6/12

= 2,500 shares

Total shares = 20,000 + 2,500

= 22,500 shares

"Rihanna Company is considering purchasing new equipment for $379,200. It is expected that the equipment will produce net annual cash flows of $48,000 over its 10-year useful life. Annual depreciation will be $37,920. Compute the cash payback period. (Round answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 10.5.)"

Answers

Answer:

Cash payback period is 7.9 years

Explanation:

Payback period = Initial investment / Cash inflow per period

Answer:

1. 9.03 %

2. 7.56 %

3. 72.45 %

4. 27.55 %

5. 8.63 %

Explanation:

Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks

Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate

                       = $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043

                       = 0.0903 or 9.03 %

1st bond issue

PV = $69,861,000

Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500

p/y = 2

n  = 23 × 2 = 46

Fv = 0

i = ?

Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %

After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %

                      = 1.66%

2nd Bond Issue

PV = $47,205,000

Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500

p/y = 2

n  = 11 × 2 = 22

Fv = 0

i = ?

Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %

After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %

                      = 5.90%

Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%

                               = 7.56 %

Market Values :

Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50

                                      = $307,800,000

Market Value of Bonds

1st Issues  =  $69,861,000

2nd Issue  = $47,205,000

Total          = $117,066,000

Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value

                            = $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)

                            = 72.45 %

Weight of debt    = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value

                            = $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)

                            = 27.55 %

WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity

           = 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % ×  9.03 %

           = 8.63 %

Best Foods, Inc. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10 percent. The company generates EBIT of $4,250 per year and has a tax rate of 35 percent. If the firm adds $10,000 of debt to its capital structure, what is the value of the levered firm?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the levered firm $31,125

Explanation:

Value of Firm is the value of present value of expected future earning. It is calculated by dividing the earning after tax by the cost of capital while considering that the business will operate for the foreseeable future time.

EBIT                      $4,250.00

Less

Interest                 $0.00        

EBT                       $4,250.00

Tax 35% x 4250  $1,487.50

EAT                       $2,762.50

Cost of Capial       10%

Value of firm = EAT / Cost of Capital = $2,762.5 / 10% = $27,625

Debt after tax = $10,000 x ( 1 - 0.35 ) = $6,500

Value of Equity = Value of firm - Debt after tax = $27,625 - $6,500 = $21,125

Value of debt = $10,000

Value of levered Firm = $21,125 + $10,000 = $31,125

For what value of ordering cost would its action be​ optimal?

Answers

Answer:

ordering costs = $22.34

Explanation:

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)

D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 50

50 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]

2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20

$10,500 = 2 x S x 235

S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34

Slack Inc. borrowed $400,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31? a. $0. b. $48,000. c. $32,000. d. $36,000

Answers

Answer:

D.$36,000

Explanation:

Calculation for How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31

First step is to find the 12% of the amount that was borrowed which is $400,000

$400,000×12%

=$48,000

Now let calculate for the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31

Interest =$48,000×3/12

Interest =$12,000

Hence,

Interest =$48,000-$12,000

Interest=$36,000

Therefore the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31 will be $36,000

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.

a. What is Joseph’s tax basis in his partnership interest?
b. What is Berry Hill’s basis in the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

(A) $31,400

(B) $6,400

Explanation:

Joseph contributed $25,000 in cash and equipment

The tax basis is $6,400

The fair market value paid to Bill hill partnership is $12,600

(A) Joseph tax basis in his partnership interest can be calculated as follows

= contribution+tax basis

= $25,000+$6,400

= $31,400

(B) Since Joseph contributed a tax basis of $6,400 to Bill hill partnership in exchange for a partnership interest then, Bill hill's basis in the equipment is $6,400

Discount on Bonds Payable    $231033

            Bonds Payable                        $3400000 Cr

Explanation:

The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.

The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.

Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033

Explanation:

A.

The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares

The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0

B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold

Using this formula

Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share

Let plug in the formula

Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share

Number of new shares=$500,000

Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is option A) 16.4%.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted from it. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Your estimate of the market risk premium is 9%. The risk-free rate of return is 3.8% and General Motors has a beta of 1.4. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what is its expected return?

Options:

A) 16.4%

B) 17.2%

C) 14.8%

D) 15.6%

The question is now answered as followed:

Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) can be described as a model that is employed to compute a theoretical required rate of an asset in order decide whether or not to add assets a portfolio of investment that is well-diversified.

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected return can be calculated using the following formula:

Expected return = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market ris premium) .......... (1)

Where;

Risk-free rate of return = 3.8%

Market risk premium = 9%

Beta = 1.4

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

Expected return = 3.8% + (1.4 * 9%) = 16.40%

Therefore, the correct option is option A) 16.4%.

Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.

Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond= $75,075.58  

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of the bond for Akers Company  can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000

Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 =  5% per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

3000  × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 =  37,386.63  

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) =  37,688.95  

Price of bond  

Price of bond =  37,386.63   + 37,688.95   =  75,075.58  

Price of bond= $75,075.58  

If the domino effect occurs as a result of changes in the money supply, what will most likely happen as an immediate result of interest rates being increased? Borrowing will decrease. Investing will decrease. Inflation will increase. Liquidity will increase.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is: interest rates will decrease

Explanation:

Just got correct on edge

If there is an increase in the interest rate, then borrowing will decrease.

The term "domino effect" refers to the cumulative effect that is produced by one event that eventually leads to the same effect on others. In other words, the domino effect is when one disaster affects or brings destruction or disruption to others, leading to similar events.

One result will lead to a chain reaction in this event, affecting the rest of the cycle. This means that like one domino's downfall brings the next domino down, one destruction will lead to the fall of the next, taking the cycle to the end until all falls. In this scenario, if the interest rates are being increased, then it will lead to a decreased rate of borrowing. A change in the money supply will increase the interest rate. This will only leave the customers looking for a way out, which means there will be a lower rate of borrowing.

In a domino effect, one event will bring the fall of the other. Therefore, if the interest rates increase, there will only be more problems for the customers. This will leave them reducing or decreasing the borrowing rate in the market. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

(beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation is simply when an asset begin to wear and tear and thereby its value is reduced.Straight line depreciation is calculated when the difference between the cost of an asset and the expected salvage value is divided by the number of years it is projected to be used.

Using this method, the annual average investment can be calculated as:

• beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.

• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life

• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.

If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?

a. tenancy in common
b. severalty community property
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
d. tenancy by entirety

Answers

Correct Answer:

c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
