Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the company's WACC = 7.85%

Explanation:

we must first determine the market value of debt, preferred stocks and common stocks:

debt 1 = 50,000 x $1,000 x 1.1 = $55,000,000, weight 20.31%

debt 2 = 220,000 x $1,000 x 0.18 = $39,600,000, weight 14.62%

preferred stock = 140,000 x $80 = $11,200,000. weight 4.14%

common stock = 2,500,000 x $66 = $165,000,000, weight 60.93%

total market value = $270,800,000

cost of debt 1:

YTM = {35 + [(1,000 - 1,100)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,100)/2] = 32.5/1,050 = 3.095 x 2 = 6.19%

after tax cost = 6.19% x 0.65 = 4.02%

cost of debt 2:

price = face value / (1 + i)ⁿ

180 = 1,000 / (1 + i)³⁰

(1 + i)³⁰ = 1,000 / 180 = 5.55555

³⁰√(1 + i)³⁰   = ³⁰√5.55555

1 + i = 1.058825

i = 0.058825 = 5.8825%

after tax cost = 5.8825% x 0.65 = 3.82%

cost of preferred stocks = 5 / 80 = 6.25%

cost of equity:

Re = Rf + (B x MP) = 3% + (1.2 x 6%) = 10.2%

the company's WACC = (60.93% x 0.102) + (4.14% x 0.0625) + (20.31% x 0.0402) + (14.62% x 0.0382) = 6.21% + 0.26% + 0.82% + 0.56% = 7.85%

Byron Books Inc. recently reported $18 million of net income. Its EBIT was $37.1 million, and its tax rate was 25%. What was its interest expense? (Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $18 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.75 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.) Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Interest expense  $13,100,000

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

EBIT                        $37,100,000 (a)

Less: Interest expense  $13,100,000 (a - c)

EBT($18,000,000 ÷ 0.75) $24,000,000  (c)

Less: Taxes $6,000,000  (c - e)

Net income $18,000,000 (e)

In this way the interest expense is computed

hence, the interest expense is $13,100,000

(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a.

expected holding returns:

boom = [($50 + $2) - $40] / $40 = 30%

normal = [($44 + $1.40) - $40] / $40 = 13.5%

recession = [($34 + $0.70) - $40] / $40 = -13.25%

expected return = (30% x 1/3) + (13.5% x 1/3) - (13.25% x 1/3) = 0.1 + 0.045 - 0.044 = 0.101 = 10.1%

variance = 1/3(30 - 10.1)² + 1/3(13.5 - 10.1)² + 1/3(-13.25 - 10.1)² = 132 + 3.85 + 181.74 = 317.59

standard deviation = √317.59 = 17.82%

b.

expected holding returns:

boom = [($50 + $2) - $40] / $40 = 30%

normal = [($44 + $1.40) - $40] / $40 = 13.5%

recession = [($34 + $0.70) - $40] / $40 = -13.25%

T-bills = 3%

expected return = (30% x 1/6) + (13.5% x 1/6) - (13.25% x 1/6) + (3% x 1/2) = 0.05 + 0.0225 - 0.022 + 0.015 = 0.0655 = 6.55%

variance = 1/6(30 - 6.55)² + 1/6(13.5 - 6.55)² + 1/6(-13.25 - 6.55)² + 1/2(3 - 6.55)² = 91.65 + 8.05 + 65.34 + 6.30 = 171.35

standard deviation = √171.35 = 13.09%

The tracking signal for the actual and forecast demand levels for May through December for D. Bishop Company is 4.24.

What is a tracking signal?

A tracking signal is the ratio of the cumulative sum of the deviations between the estimated forecasts and the actual values of demand to the mean absolute deviations (MADs).

The tracking signal determines the larger deviation (in both plus and minus) of Error in Forecast.

The tracking signal can be calculated with this formula:

Tracking Signal = Accumulated Forecast Errors/Mean Absolute Deviation.

What is Mean Absolute Deviation?

The mean absolute deviation is the average of values or more specifically, the difference between the actual values and their average value.  The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is used for calculating demand variability.

Jim borrowed 10,000 from Bank X at an annual effective rate of 8%. He agreed to repay the bank with 5 level annual installments at the end of each year. At the same time, he also borrowed 15,000 from bank Y at an annual effective rate of 7.5%. He agreed to pay the bank this loan with 5 level annual installments at the end of each year. He lent the 25,000 to Wayne immediate in exchange for 4 annual level repayments at the end of each year, at an annual effective rate of 8.5%. Jim can only reinvest the proceeds at an annual effective rate of 6%. Immediately after repaying the loans to the banks in full, determine how much Jim has left.

Answers

Answer:

$373.43

Explanation:

the cash outflows associated to the first loan are 5 level payments of $2,504.56 each (= $10,000 / 3.992717 PV annuity factor, 8%, 5 periods).

the cash outflows associated to the second loan are 5 level payments of $3,707.47 each (= $15,000 / 4.048857 PV annuity factor, 7.5%, 5 periods).

total cash outflows associated to both loans = $6,212.03

inflows associated with investment are 4 level payments of $7,632.20 each (= $25,000 / 3.275596 PV annuity factor, 8.5%, 4 periods).

net cash flow year 1 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 = $1,420.17

net cash flow year 2 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($1,420.17 x 1.06) = $2,925.55

net cash flow year 3 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($2,925.55 x 1.06) = $4,521.25

net cash flow year 4 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($4,521.25 x 1.06) = $6,212.70

net cash flow year 5 = ($6,212.70 x 1.06) -  $6,212.03 = $373.43

On May 1, 2021, Cedar Corp. paid $432,000 for rent on warehouse space one year in advance. On November 1, 2021, Cedar Corp. entered into a lease agreement to rent out its old warehouse space it was no longer using. This agreement calls for Cedar to receive $10,000 per month from the lessee, due and payable at the end of the 5-month lease term. At December 31, 2021, none of the rental payments from the lessee had yet been received. If Cedar makes the appropriate adjusting entry, how much will be reported on the December 31, 2021 income statement for rent expense?

Answers

Answer: $324,000

Explanation:

Cedar Corp. paid $432,000 for a year in advance. According to the Accrual principle in Accounting, expenses are to be recorded only when incurred.

The rent will therefore have to be apportioned to the months that it has paid for in the current period.

Rent for year = $432,000

Rent for month = 432,000/12 = $36,000

April - December = 9 months

Rent for the year = 9 * 36,000

= $324,000

Note; Question is about Rent expense which is how much Cedar Corp has paid not about how much they have received.

H. J., Inc., and other customers of Northwestern Bell Corp. alleged that Northwestern Bell had Furnished cash and tickets for air travel, plays, and sporting events and had offered employment to members of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission in exchange for favorable treatment in rate cases before the commission. A Minnesota statute makes it a felony to bribe public officials. H. J. and other customers brought suit against Northwestern for violation of the criminal bribery statute. Can the customers bring a criminal action?

Answers

Answer:

The private cause of action cannot come under the criminal statute. Thus, customers cannot bring the criminal action.

Explanation:

Bribery is an act of providing monetary or non-monetary benefits to an individual in order to influence his decision in one's favor. Bribery is a white collar crime.

The plaintiff are civilians therefore, the action which was alleged under bribery statute of criminal law do not provide any private remedies as it contains no provision for such remedies. Bribery under common law also do not have any cause of action in Minnesota state. Under the Criminal law, the civil action can only be taken if it appears that it was the legislative intent. Since, there was no legislative intent to provide civil cause of action in criminal statute, the customer cannot bring the criminal action.

During March, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 190,000 units that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor. At the end of March, 27,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 70% complete with respect to labor. The production department incurred direct materials cost of $255,300 and its beginning inventory included materials cost of $94,200. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.

Answers

Answer:

cost per equivalent unit for direct materials is $1.39.

Explanation:

First, calculation of equivalent units of production with respect to Direct materials

Closing Work In Process (27,000 × 100%)                                    =    27,000

Completed and Transferred (225,000 × 100%)                            = 225,000

Equivalent units of Production with respect to Direct materials =  252,000

Then calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials as follows :

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Costs ÷ Total Equivalent units

                                        = ($255,300 + $94,200) ÷ 252,000

                                        = $1.39

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2018, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 8% and its payout ratio to be 30%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

The Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2010 to $2,000 in 2011. Here is the December 31, 2010, balance sheet:

Cash                            $ 100           Accounts payable                 $ 50

Accounts receivable      200         Notes payable                         150

Inventories                     200          Accruals                                     50

Net fixed assets             500          Long-term debt                       400

                                                        Common stock                        100

                                                         Retained earnings                   250

Total assets    $1000               Total liabilities  and equity          $1000

AFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S: $500 / $1,000 = 0.50 ΔSales = $1,000  L/S = $250 / $1,000 = 0.25PM = 0.08 FS = $2,000 1 - d = 1 - 30% = 0.70

AFN = (0.5 x $1,000) - (0.25 x $1,000) - (0.08 x $2,000 x 0.7) = $500 - $250 - $112 = $138

On 1/1/2019, Firm XYZ signs a debt contract. According to the debt contract, Firm XYZ raises $100,000 from an investor and promises to pay the investor $100,000 on 1/1/2020 (i.e., the interest rate is zero). On 1/2/2019, Firm XYZ finds that there are two investment opportunities, and each project costs the firm $100,000:
Project 1: $400,000 with probability 0.4 and $0 with probability 0.6
Project 2: $200,000 with probability 1.
i) Which project exhibits a higher NPV?
ii) Which project does the firm prefer? Firm prefers project 1 because
iii) How about debtholders? Debtholders would prefer project 2 because
iv) Suppose that, on 1/1/2019, the investor knows that the firm will choose a project between project 1 and 2. Would the investor choose to sign the debt contract?

Answers

Answer:

i) Which project exhibits a higher NPV?

project 2

ii) Which project does the firm prefer?

project 1 since it has the potential to earn $400,000 (resulting in an NPV of $300,000) and if things go wrong, they will not lose their money. When you gamble with someone else's money, you are willing to take higher risks.

iii) How about debtholders?

project 2 since it guarantees that the loan will be paid back

iv) Suppose that, on 1/1/2019, the investor knows that the firm will choose a project between project 1 and 2. Would the investor choose to sign the debt contract?

This depends on what type of business Firm XYZ is. If it is a corporation, LLC or a LLP, then I doubt that the loan will be made because the firm's owners are not personally liable for the debt. If the firm is a sole proprietorship or a general partnership, then depending on the financial position of the owners, the loan can be made.

Explanation:

since the discount rate is 0:

the NPV of project 1 = [($400,000 x 0.4) + $0] - $100,000 = $160,000 - $100,000 = $60,000

the NPV of project 2 = $200,000 - $100,000 = $100,000

Rafner Manufacturing identified the following budgeted data in its two production departments.

What is the company’s single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours? 2. What is the company’s single plantwide overhead rate based on machine hours? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total estimated overhead= 1,200,000 + 600,000= 1,800,000

Direct labor hours=  12,000 + 20,000= 32,000

Machine hours= 6,000 + 16,000= 22,000

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Based on direct labor hours:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,800,000/32,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $56.25 per direct labor hour

Based on machine hours:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,800,000/22,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $81.82 per machine hour

Hughes Corporation is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) Required: 1. What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine

Answers

Answer:

50,000

Explanation:

Hughes Corporation can calculate the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine by just deducting the sales proceeds from the cost of the new machine.

DATA

New machine = $150,000

Old machine = 100,000

Cash outflow per year (18,000 - 10,000) = 8,000

Salvage value = 25,000

Annuity factor = 8%

Solution

Incremental Cash outflow = Cost of new machine - Sales proceeds from old machine

Incrementa Cash outflow =  150,000 - 100,000

Incremental Cash outflow = $50,000

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1 .

Qe = 680 - 9P + 0.006M - 4PR

When the price of good R is increased , the demand of good  is decreased . That means the demand of another  good is increased . It means that goods R is a complement good . Now the coefficient of M is positive that means when income increases , demand of good increases . So the good is a normal good .

Hence good is a normal and complement good of R

option e ) is  correct.

2 .

Qe = 680 - 9P + 0.006M - 4PR

Putting the value of M = 15000 and PR = 20

Qe = 680 - 9P + 0.006x 15000 - 4 x 20

Qe = 680 - 9P + 90  - 80 = 690 - 9P

3 .

For equilibrium

supply = demand

30+3P  =  690 - 9P

12 P = 660

P = 55

Q = 690 - 9P = 690 - 9 x 55 = 195

4 .

When the price of goods is 60 , it is higher than the equilibrium price , hence demand will shrink and it will be less than supply

quantity demanded = 690 - 9P  = 690 - 9 x 60 = 150

quantity supplied = 30+3P = 30 + 3 x 60 = 210

excess supply = 210 - 150 = 60 .

5 .

when price is 40 which is less than equilibrium price

there will be more demand

quantity demanded

= 690 - 9P  = 690 - 9 x 40 = 330

quantity supplied = 30+3P = 30 + 3 x 40 = 150

excess supply = 180

1. The good is both a normal as well as a complement for good R.

2. The demand function would be Qd = 690 - 9P.

3. The P is $55 and Q is 195 units.

4.  There is a supply surplus of 60 units of the goods.

5.  There is a shortage of 180 units of goods due to excess demand.

The good referred to as normal good as M is given positive, which means income increases the quantity of demand would also rise. On the other hand, the good is complementary to R due to the negative relationship that is the price of R increases would create an increase in demand of another good.

The function is given as:

[tex]Qe = 680 - 9P + 0.006M - 4PR[/tex]

Now, by substituting the value of M that is 15000 and PR that is 20 in the above function, it would give:

[tex]Qe = 680 - 9P + 0.006x 15000 - 4*20\\Qe=690 - 9P[/tex]

The equilibrium level is decided when demand equalizes with the supply.

Price at equilibrium would be computed as:

[tex]30+3P = 690 - 9P\\=55[/tex]

Now, equilibrium quantity would be:

[tex]Q = 690 - 9P \\ = 195[/tex]

The excess or surplus of supply would be seen when the price becomes 60. it is because this price would be more than the equilibrium price that is 55, which would decrease the quantity demanded. Thus, it shows that supply in the market is the same but demand falls with increased prices.

Quantity demanded would be:

[tex]Qd = 690 - 9*60 \\ = 150[/tex]

Quantity supplied would be:

[tex]Qs= 30 + 3* 60 \\= 210[/tex]

Finally, the excess supply is:

[tex]Qs-Qd\\=210 - 150 \\= 60[/tex]

When prices fall that is 40 below the equilibrium prices then it would increase the quantity demanded with the same supply in the market.

Calculation of Quantity demanded:

[tex]Qd= 690 - 9 * 40\\ = 330[/tex]

Quantity supplied is computed as:

[tex]Qs = 30 + 3* 40 \\= 150[/tex]

Now the excess of demand would be:

[tex]Qd-Qs\\330-150\\=180[/tex]

a. $300,000b. $550,000c. $450,000d. $700,000

Answers

Answer: $450,000

Profit or loss made on the sale of asset = $0

Income from discontinued operations = $450000

= $0 + $450000

= $450,000

For the past two years, Swen Johannsen, owner/general manager of Swen's Fine Duds, a local men's clothing store, has fought to stay in business. In the face of increasing competition, Swen has tried several tactics: aggressively promoting price-slashing sales to drive his competitors' customers to his doors; attempting to cut costs by leveling out sales and inventory through seasonal sales; as well as lining up contracts with wholesalers in advance of seasonal rushes (e.g., summer swimwear) to prevent inventory depletion. He has even recruited the president of the chamber of commerce to sit on his board. None of these tactics have been successful. Now, Swen is considering a deviation from his current business to one that might be more suitable, perhaps a formal wear/tuxedo rental and retail shop or a boutique Western wear store. Swen is using _____ as his final tactic.

Answers

Answer:

Swen is using product/service repositioning strategy.

Explanation:

Product Repositioning simply refers to the art of altering the target markets perception of one's product and or services.

Swen is still in the clothing business. He has only changed the way he delivers it to the target consumers.

Of course, this sometimes calls for a change in product mix (which refers to altering the type of products being offered). However, the central idea of the strategy still holds as customers now see the business differently.

This type of strategy is easier to pull off for start-ups, or unpopular businesses trying to make a comeback. Where the business is a well-established brand, it can prove extremely difficult and may be costly.

Cheers.

Susanne is interested in saving time when she is making programmed decisions at
work. Which of the following she should focus on?
O Systematically go through the six steps of the decision-making process no
Satisficing
Talk to other people
Be creative

Answers

Answer: Systematically go through the six steps of the decision-making process

Explanation:

Programmed decisions are routine and repetitive. In other words, these are decisions that one need not think about as they require and follow the same procedure in making them.

By systematically going through the six steps of the decision-making process, Susanne will save time as the process makes decision making programmable. By following the steps systematically, she would be making programmed decisions as they follow the same steps and therefore making them faster.

Frisco Corporation is analyzing its fixed and variable costs within its current relevant range. As its cost driver activity changes within the relevant range, which of the following statements is/are correct?
I. As the cost driver level increases, total fixed cost remains unchanged
II. As the cost driver level increases, unit fixed cost increases
III. As the cost driver level decreases, unit variable cost decreases
a. I, II and III are correct
b. I and II only are correct
c. I only is correct
d. II and III only are correct

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

The Unit variable expenses should remain unchanged, paying no attention to what the price operator is doing.  Both variable prices will remain constant, paying little attention to adjustments in the costing system, as adjustments in the costing system may not impact all fixed expenses.  

Although full fixed costs will remain constant, paying special heed to changes in the cost engine, group fixed costs will not. Unless the amount of a costing system increases, all operating rates will continue as before, however, the full number of items will increase as well as the operating unit price will reduce.
