Western Electric has 35,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $85 and a rate of return of 12.70 percent. The firm has 7,600 shares of 8.40 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $98.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $422,000 and currently sells for 114 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.26 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent

Answers

Answer:

10.83 %

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock

therefore,

Weighted average cost of capital = 12.70 % x 70.82 % + 4.956 % x 17.73 % + 8.40 % x 11.45 %

                                                        = 10.83 %

Remember to use after tax cost of debt.

Answers

Answer:

$109

$118.81

18.26%

Explanation:

Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated

growth rate = retention rate x ROE  

Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

0.5 x 18% = 9%

According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%

dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share

0.5 x $20 = $10

Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109

Stock price in a year

[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81

(dividend return + price return)  

price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price  

Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned  

price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year

The Cork Company has been sent a special order of 6,000 dongles to be shipped at the end of the month at a selling price of $7 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 dongles per month with total fixed production costs of $144,000. At present, the company is selling 80,000 dongles per month through regular channels at a selling price of $11 each. For these regular sales, the cost for one dongle is:
Variable Production $4.60
Cost Fixed Production Cost $1.80
Variable Selling Expense $1.00
At what selling price per unit should Cork be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer?
a. $7.40.
b. $7.70
c. $6.40
d. $4.90.
e. None of the answers provided is correct.

Answers

Answer:

Indifferent special order price=$5.60

Explanation:

To determine whether or not Cork Company should accept the order, we will compare the variable cost of the order to the sales value . If the special order generates a positive contribution margin, then it should be accepted.'

The relevant cash flows to be considered here includes

1. Variable cost of the special order

2. Sales revenue from the special order.

Note that the fixed cost are general unavoidable costs which would be incurred either way. And therefore should not be considered .

variable cos per unit = 4.60 +1.00= 5.60

                                                                           $

Sales revenue from special order

(7×6,000)                                                       42,000

Variable cost (5.60× 6,000)                         (33,600)

Net income from special order                   8,400        

A special order price that will produce a net income of zero is that which will make  the Cork Company indifferent. And such price is that which equals to the variable cost of selling

Indifferent special order price = variable cost per unit = $5.60

Indifferent special order price=$5.60

The special offers under the cost accounting are the changes or the events arranged in between the regular business operations. The special offer is launched at lower or higher variable costs. This is done either to attract customers or to clear off the stock.

The correct option is e. None of the answer provided is correct.

The selling price per unit that is indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer is $5.60

As per the computation, the special offer should be accepted.

Computations:

The indifferent special order price should include only the variable cost.

[tex]\text{Indifferent price}=\text{Variable Production cost}+\text{Variable selling expense}\\\\=\$4.60+\$1.00\\\\=\$5.60[/tex]

Computation of net income from a special offer:

[tex]\text{Net Income}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Variable cost}\\\\=(\$7\times6,000)-(\$5.60\times6,000)\\\\=\$442,000-\$33,600\\\\=\$8,400[/tex]

For taking the decision of accepting  or rejecting the special offer:

variable costs of existing and special offers are compared.The variable cost and the selling price must be equal for generating a net income of zero.The positive contribution margin indicates acceptance of the special offer.

Suppose a hypothetical economy is currently in a recessionary gap of $64 billion. Four economists agree that expansionary fiscal policy can increase total spending and move the economy out of recession, but they are debating which type of expansionary policy should be used.

Economist A believes that the government spending multiplier is 8 and the tax multiplier is 2. Economist B believes that the government spending multiplier is 4 and the tax multiplier is 8.

Required:
Compute the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief.

Answers

Answer:

a. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = $8 billion

b. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = $16 billion

Explanation:

a. Economist A

Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 8, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 8 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:

Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist A = $64 billion / 8 = $8 billion

b. Economist B

Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 4, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 4 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:

Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist B = $64 billion / 4 = $16 billion

Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.

Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000

Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?

Answers

Answer:

50,000 Square feet

Explanation:

Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.

Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly

= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000

At December 31, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $288,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,500 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 1% of accounts receivable. The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be:

Answers

Answer:

$1,380

Explanation:

Given that;

Accounts receivables = $288,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $1,500 (credit balance)

Allowance should be 1% of accounts receivables = $288,000 × 1% = 2,880

Then, the adjustment = $2,880 - $1,500 = $1,380

Therefore, the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be $1,380

You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 14 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.0 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 14 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.05. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 4 percent per year on Swiss francs.
a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
b-1. What is the required return on franc flows?
b-2. What is the NPV of the project in Swiss francs?
b-3. What is the NPV in dollars if you convert the franc NPV to dollars?

Answers

Answer:

a-The net present value in dollars is 494939.0687.

b-1-The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.

b-2-The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.

b-3-The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07

Explanation:

a

In order to find the solution, firstly the exchange rate for the 5 years is calculated. It is calculated using the formula:

[tex]EER=CER*(1-GRD+GRF)^t[/tex]

Here

EER is the expected exchange rate which is to be calculatedCER is the current exchange rate which is 1.05GRD is the going rate of dollars which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Francs which is 4% or 0.04t is the time in years.

From this exchange rate, the PV factor is calculated which is than used to find the present value and similarly net present value in total. The solution is provided in the attached Excel Sheet.

The net present value in dollars is 494939.07

b-1

The required rate on the Franc return is given as:

[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1[/tex]

Here

FRR is the franc return rate which is to be calculatedDR is the dollar rate which is 14% or 0.14GRD is the going rate of dollar which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Franc which is 4% or 0.04

So the value becomes:

[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1\\FRR=(1+0.14)(1-0.06+0.04)-1\\FRR=0.1172\text{ or }11.72\%[/tex]

The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.

b-2

Similar to part a, the solution is found for the return rate of 11.72 and the exchange rate is not required. The values are as indicated in the excel sheet attached.

The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.

b-3

In order to convert the Franc NPV to dollars, the exchange rate of 1.05SF is used which gives

[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}[/tex]

Here

NPV_dollars is the value of NPV which is to be calculated.NPV_francs is the value of NPV calculated in previous step which is 510686.02.ER is the exchange rate whose value is 1.05

So the equation becomes:

[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}\\NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{519686.02}{1.05}\\NPV_{dollars}=494939.0666=\$494939.07[/tex]

The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07

Assume that you believe exchange rate movements are mostly driven by purchasing power parity. The U.S. and Canada presently have the same nominal (quoted) interest rate. The central bank of Canada just made an announcement that causes you to revise your estimate of Canada's real interest rate upward. Nominal interest rates were not affected by the announcement. Do you expect that the Canadian dollar to appreciate, depreciate, or remain the same against the dollar in response to the announcement

Answers

Answer:

The Canadian dollar would appreciate

Explanation:

Real interest rate is nominal interest rate less inflation rate

exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency

if the real interest rate of the canadian dollar increases, there would be an increase in demand for canadian dollars. As a result, the demand for canadian dollars would increase. the increase in demand would lead to an appreciation of the canadian dollar

Answer:

Technology C

Explanation:

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable cost * (Number of Units)

Total Cost for Technology A = $80000 + $2.20*(100,000 units)

Total Cost for Technology A = $300,000

Total Cost for Technology B = $120,000 + $1.85*(100,000 units)

Total Cost for Technology B = $305,000

Total Cost for Technology C = $130,000 + $1.65*(100,000 units)

Total Cost for Technology C = $195,000

Explanation:

Given the following information: Percent of capital structure: Preferred stock 10 % Common equity (retained earnings) 40 Debt 50 Additional information: Corporate tax rate 34 % Dividend, preferred $ 7.00 Dividend, expected common $ 2.50 Price, preferred $ 104.00 Growth rate 8 % Bond yield 9 % Flotation cost, preferred $ 9.40 Price, common $ 76.00 Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Digital Processing Inc.

Answers

Answer: 8.23%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will calculate the cost of debt which will be:

= Yield (1-Tax rate)

= 9% × (1-0.34)

= 9% × 0.66

= 5.94%

Then, the Cmcost of preferred stock will be:

= 7/(104-9.40)

= 7/(94.6)

= 7.39%

We will also get the value of the cost of equity which will be:

= (Dividend expected common/Price common) + growth rate

= (2.50/76) + 8%

= 3.29% + 8%

= 11.29%

For Debt:

Cost after tax: 5.94

Weight = 50%

Weighted cost = 5.94 × 50% = 2.97

For Preferred stock:

Cost after tax: 7.39

Weight = 1%

Weighted cost = 7.39 × 10% = 0.74

For Common equity

Cost after tax: 11.29

Weight = 40%

Weighted cost = 11.29 × 40% = 4.52

Weighted average cost of capital = 2.97 + 0.74 + 4.52 = 8.23%

PBYI’s current BID-ASK is $59.00 - $60.00. PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)

Answers

Answer:

PBYI is not over priced

expected profit = $0.18

Explanation:

BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00

expected alpha = 2%

In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00

when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2

when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18

therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18

PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day

A machine cost $1104000, has annual depreciation of $184000, and has accumulated depreciation of $874000 on December 31, 2020. On April 1, 2021, when the machine has a fair value of $253000, it is exchanged for a machine with a fair value of $1242000 and the proper amount of cash is paid. The exchange had commercial substance. The new machine should be recorded at $1127000. $1242000. $989000. $1219000.

Answers

Answer:

$1,242,000

Explanation:

The new machine is to be recorded at its Fair Value which is $1,242,000 because the exchange has a commercial substance. Asset forgone is credited by its original cost, and accumulated depreciation till date of exchange is debited. Cash paid and loss or gain is adjusted as required. But the new asset is debited by the amount of its Fair Value on the day of exchange.

Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised profits are expected to (increase/decrease) by $__________ per year. (Enter the profit increase or decrease as a whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $3

Number of units sold= 150,000

Selling price= $6.5

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Net income= number of units sold*unitary contribution margin - fixed costs

Previous:

Net income= 150,000*3.5 - 350,000

Net income= $175,000

After:

Net income= 120,000*4 - 350,000

Net income= $130,000

Unitary contribution margin= 7 - 3= 4

Number of units sold= 150,000*0.8= 120,000

If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000

On October 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $148,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The equipment is expected to produce 260,000 units during its life.Required:Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.

Answers

Answer:

Missing word: "1. Straight line.  2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"

1. Straight line depreciation

Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)

Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10

Annual Depreciation = $14,300

Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year

2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12

Depreciation Expenses = $3575

2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12

Depreciation Expenses = $14,300

2. Double-declining balance

Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year

2021: Depreciation Expense  = $148000 * 20% 3/12

Depreciation Expense = $7400

Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation

Book Value = $148000 - $7400

Book Value = $140,600

2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12

Depreciation Expense = $35,520

Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation

Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520

Book Value = $105,080

On August 1, Sparky assigned $100,000 of the accounts receivable to B Bank and received 90% of the value of the accounts assigned less a finance fee of $1,000. B Bank charges 1% per month on the outstanding loan balance. Cash collections from assigned accounts are to be remitted monthly to B Bank to cover both principal and interest payments. During August Sparky collected $30,000 in cash of the accounts receivable assigned and also accepted sales returns of $3,000 from assigned accounts. During September, Sparky collected $50,000 in cash on accounts assigned and, in addition, wrote off $2,000 of assigned accounts receivable as uncollectible. As a result of these transactions, determine the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable is shown below:

For account receivable assigned:

Beginning account receivable $100,000

cash collected -$300,000

Sales returns - $3,000

Cash collected during September -$50,000

Uncollectible account receivable -$2,000

Ending balance of the account receivable $15,000

For note payable

Beginning balance (90% of $100,000) $90,000

Interest on the loan (1% of $90,000) $900

Cash paid during the August -$30,000

Beginning balance of September $60,900

Interest paid (1% of $60,900) $609

Cash paid during September -$50,000

Ending balance $11,509

Joint products A and B emerge from common processing costs of $100,000 and yield 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $120 per unit. The amount of joint costs allocated to Product A (if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value) will be $ (rounded to nearest dollar).

Answers

Answer:

Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500

Explanation:

To calculate the allocation of joint costs to Product A, we must first calculate the sales revenue or value for both products.

Total sales value - Product A = 100 * 2000  =  $200000

Total sales value - Product B = 120 * 1000  =  $120000

Total Sales Value = 200000 + 120000   =  $320000

The amount of Joint costs that will be allocated to Product A will be,

Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = (200000 / 320000) * 100000

Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500

Birch Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, James, who has operated it as an S corporation since its inception. Last year, James made a direct loan to Birch Corp. in the amount of $6,650. Birch Corp. has paid the interest on the loan but has not yet paid any principal. (Assume the loan qualifies as debt for tax purposes.) For the year, Birch experienced a $32,000 business loss.

What amount of the loss clears the tax basis limitation, and what is James?s basis in his Birch Corp. stock and Birch Corp. debt in each of the following alternative scenarios?

a. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $46,100 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
b. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $10,300 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
c. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $0 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.

Answers

Answer:

A. $32,000 clears the tax basis limitation

$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$6,600 Birch Corp. debt

B. $16,900 clears the tax basis limitation

$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$0 Birch Corp. debt

$15,000 suspended loss

C. $6,600 clears the tax basis limitation

$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$0 Birch Corp. debt

$25,400 suspended loss

Explanation:

A. Based on the information given All the $32,000 amount of the loss will clear up the tax basis limitation which means that James’s stock basis will be reduced to $14,100 ($46,100 – $32,000 loss) while His debt basis on the other hand remains at $6,600.

Therefore:

$32,000 clears the tax basis limitation

$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$6,600 Birch Corp. debt

B. Based on the information given of the $32,000 loss, $16,900($10,300+$6,600) will clear up the tax basis limitation, While his stock basis will be reduced from $10,300 to $0, and his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $15,100 ($32,000 - $16,900)

Therefore:

$16,900 clears the tax basis limitation

$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$0 Birch Corp. debt

$15,000 suspended loss

C. Based on the information given the amount of $6,600 will clear up the tax basis limitation. His stock basis will remains at $0, while his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $25,400 ($32,000 – $6,600)

Therefore:

$6,600 clears the tax basis limitation

$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock

$0 Birch Corp. debt

$25,400 suspended loss

Sicilian Defence, a division of Queen's Gambit Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?

Answers

Answer:

Queen's Gambit Corp.

Sicilian Defence Division

If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?

Yes.

The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000

Average operating assets = $300,000

Required rate of return for the company = 15%

Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)

= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)

= $60,000 - $45,000

= $15,000

Investment cost = $100,000

Additional net operating income = $18,000

Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)

= $18,000 - $15,000

= $3,000

Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)

= $78,000 - $60,000

= $18,000

Terra Corporation purchased equipment with a 10-year useful life and zero residual value for $100,000. At the end of the fourth year, the equipment is exchanged for new equipment worth $110,000.

Assume the straight-line depreciation method is used.
A. Assets decrease by $10,000
B. Assets increase by $10,000
C. Liabilities increase by $10,000
D. Total stockholders' equity decreases by $10,000
E. Total stockholders' equity increases by $10,000

Answers

Answer:

Assets increase by $10,000

Total stockholders' equity decreases by $10,000

Explanation:

Assets increase =($110,000-$100,000)

Assets increase=$10,000

Total stockholders' equity decreases=$100,000-$110,000

Total stockholders' equity decreases= -$10,000

Therefore Based on the information given what is true of the net effect of the transaction are :

Assets increase by $10,000

Total stockholders' equity decreases by $10,000

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $250,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $72,115 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000.

b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $39,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1.89 years

B. 2.33 years

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

(A) After-tax income = $72,115

Expected cost = $250,000

Useful life = 4 years

Salvage value = $10,000

Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $250,000 ÷ $132,115

= 1.89 years

(B) After-tax income = $39,000

Machine cost = $200,000

Useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $13,000

Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $200,000 ÷ $85,750

= 2.33 years
