Answer:
Based on the data, the holding cost per unit per year that will enable the desired production cycle is:
= $18.00.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual demand of the product = 10,000 units
Demand per day, d = 40 (10,000/250) units
Given days in a year = 250 days
Production, p per day = 200 units
Ordering cost, S = $7.20 per order
Q (demand for four hours or half a day) = 20 units (40/2) following a four-hour cycle
Number of orders = 10,000/20 = 500
Total ordering costs = $3,600 (500 * $7.20)
Since EOQ = Q = 20 units
20 = Square root of (2*D*S)/H
Where:
D = Annual demand
S= Ordering cost
H = Holding cost
20 = Square root of (2 * 10,000 * $3,600)/H *10,000
20 = Square root of 72,000,000/(H * 10,000)
Substituting H with $18
= Square root of 72,000,000/180,000
= Square root of 400
= 20

New Line Cinema is considering producing a new movie. To evaluate the proposal, the company needs to calculate its cost of capital. The firm has collected the following information:
a. The company wants to maintain is current capital structure, which is 20% equity, 20% preferred stock and 60% debt.
b. The firm has marginal tax rate of 34%.
c. The firm's preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $4.3 forever, and each share is currently worth $135.26.
d. The firm has one bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6%, paid semiannually, 10 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,163.51.
e. The company's beta is 0.8, the yield on Treasury bonds is is 0.6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 6%.
f. The current stock price is $39.17. The firm has just paid an annual dividend of $1.13, which is expected to grow by 4% per year.
g. The firm uses a risk premium of 3% for the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach.
h. New preferred stock and bonds would be issued by private placement, largely eliminating flotation costs. New equity would come from retained earnings, thus eliminating flotation costs.
Required:
a. What is the cost of equity using the bond yield plus risk premium?
b. What is the midpoint of the range for the cost of equity?
c. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
a.
7.00%
b.
5.96%
c.
1.20%
Explanation:
a.
First and foremost, we need to determine the yield to maturity on the bond, using a financial calculator as shown thus:
The financial calculator should be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=20(number of semiannual coupons in 10 years=10*2=20)
PMT=30(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*/2=$1000*6%/2=$30)
PV=-1163.51(current price=$1,163.51)
FV=1000(face value of the bond=$1000)
CPT
I/Y=2.00%(semiannual yield=2%, annnual yield=2.00%*2=4.00%)
bond yield plus risk premium=bond yield(4.00%)+ risk premium(3%)
bond yield plus risk premium=7.00%
b.
In determining the midpoint range is the maximum plus minimum cost of equity divided by 2
Let us determine cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Constant Dividend Growth Model
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected return on the market portfolio-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=yield on Treasury bonds= 0.6%
beta=0.8
expected return on the market portfolio= 6%
cost of equity=0.6%+0.8*(6%-0.6%)
cost of equity=4.92%
cost of equity=expected dividend/share price+growth rate
expected dividend=last dividend*(1+growth rate)
expected dividend=$1.13*(1+4%)=$1.1752
share price= $39.17
growth rate=4%
cost of equity=($1.1752/$39.17)+4%
cost of equity=7.00%
midpoint range=(maximum cost of equity+minimum cost of equity)/2
midpoint rate=(7.00%+4.92%)/2
midpoint range=5.96%
c.
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of preferred stock*cost of preferred stock)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity= 20%
cost of equity=5.96%
weight of preferred stock=20%
cost of preferred stock=annual dividend/price
cost of preferred stock=$4.3/$135.26=3.18%
weight of debt=60%
aftertax cost of debt=4.00%*(1-34%)=2.64%
WACC=(20%*5.96%)+(20%*3.18%)*(60%*2.64%)
WACC=1.20%
On December 31, 2019, Burke Corporation signed a 5-year, non-cancelable lease for a machine. The terms of the lease called for Burke to make annual payments of $8,668 at the beginning of each year, starting December 31, 2019. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $5,000 unguaranteed residual value. The machine reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Burke uses the straight-line method of
Answer:

Using this formula
Present value of the lease payments=Beginning annual payments*Present value of an annuity due of 1 for 5 periods at 5%.
Let Plug in the formula
Present value of the lease payments=$8,668 × 4.54595
Present value of the lease payments=$39,405
Therefore the present value of the lease payments is $39,405
Old Quartz Gold Mining Company is expected to pay a dividend of $8 in the coming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 2% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 14%. The stock of Old Quartz Gold Mining Company has a beta of -0.25. The intrinsic value of the stock is
Answer:
$133.33
Explanation:
Cost of equity (Ke) = Rf + beta*(Rm-Rf)
Cost of equity (Ke) = 6% - 0.25*(14%-6%)
Cost of equity (Ke) = 4%
Cost of equity (Ke) = 0.04
According to the dividend distribution model Ke = D1/ P0 + g. P0 = D1/(ke-g, where D1 = 8, g = -0.02 and Ke = 0.04
P0 (Intrinsic price) = 8/(0.04+0.02)
P0 (Intrinsic price) = 8/0.06
P0 (Intrinsic price) = $133.33
Therefore, he intrinsic value of the stock is $133.33.
The unadjusted trial balance at year-end for a company that uses the percent of receivables method to determine its bad debts expense, reports the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 431,000 Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 1,390 Debit Net Sales 2,240,000 Credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 2.5% of ending account receivable to be uncollectible. What adjusting entry should the company make at the end of the current year to record its estimated bad debts expense
Answer:
Bad Debts Expense $9,385 & Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $9,385
Explanation:
Bad debt expense = ($431,000 *2.5%) - $1,390
Bad debt expense = $10,775 - $1,390
Bad debt expense = $9,385
Adjusted Entry
Debit - Bad Debts Expense $9,385
Credit - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $9,385
A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $51,000. The projected annual net cash flows are $21,200. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Management of the company requires a 10% return on investment. The present value of an annuity of $1 for various periods follows: Period Present value of an annuity of $1 at 10% 1 0.9091 2 1.7355 3 2.4869 What is the net present value of this machine assuming all cash flows occur at year-end
Answer:
$1721.26
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$51,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 3 = $21,200
I = 10%
NPV = $1721.26
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

You were hired as a consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of common from retained earnings is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 40%. The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. Quigley's WACC is closest to: 8.15% 8.48% 8.82% 9.17% 9.54%
Answer:
8.15 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the business Cost of permanent sources of finance pooled together. It shows the risk of the business and is used to evaluate projects.
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :
After tax cost of debt = Interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.50% x (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
therefore,
WACC = 11.25% x 55% + 6.00% x 10% + 3.90 % x 35%
= 8.15 %
Thus,
Quigley's WACC is closest to 8.15 %.

Paige is a scratch golfer, former Division I college golf star and past member of the LPGA tour. She is well-known for her ability to teach golf techniques and is often hired to teach golf clinics. Beatriz was a less successful golf clinic consultant who was just starting out and was hired to run a clinic for Par Golf Promotions. Beatriz was nervous about the clinic because it was her first and she asked Paige if she could fill in for her and Paige agreed. What is this transfer called and will it be allowed under the law of contracts
Answer:
This contract transfer is called a delegation. It will be allowed under the law of contracts, provided there is no provision or contract term in the original contract forbidding such transfer.
Explanation:
A delegation involves the appointment of Paige to perform Beatriz's duties under the golf clinic contract. This transfer is distinguishable from a contract assignment, which involves the transfer of the contract rights and obligations by Beatriz (the assignor) to Paige (the assignee). A transfer by delegation does not allow the assignee to assume all the obligations and rights but to specifically perform a duty.

Overhead variance rate. Estimated labor cost rate. Chargeable overhead rate. Miscellaneous overhead rate.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is the rate that is computed by taking the estimated manufacturing overhead and the same would be divided by allocation factor that could be estimated direct labor, estimated direct hours, etc in order to assign the overhead cost
So according to the given situation, the first option is correct i.e. predetermined overhead rate
Olga's Company has a sales budget for next month of $150,000. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 40 percent of sales. All goods are purchased in the month used and paid for in the month following purchase. The beginning inventory of merchandise is $5,000, and an ending inventory of $6,000 is desired. Beginning accounts payable is $38,000. The cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be a.$60,000. b.$40,000. c.$89,000. d.$90,000.
Answer:
a. $60,000
Explanation:
Costs of goods sold = Budgeted sales for next month * 40%
Costs of goods sold = $150,000 * 40%
Costs of goods sold = $60,000
So therefore, the cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $60,000.
Select the true statement about interest rate risk. It stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated. It is the risk that a bond's coupon payment will fall if market interest rates fall. Interest rate risk is particularly problematic for investors who do not wish to sell their bonds. Shorter-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate risk than longer-term bonds.
Answer:
The correct answer is the first option: It stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as "Interest Rate Risk" refers to the number that specifically shows the relation that exists between an investment that is planning to take place and another investment that is already having place, meaning that it focus on the potential for investment losses that result from a change in interest rates. Therefore that, in the field of microeconomics, it is understood that it will reflex the fact that when the interest goes up the price of actual investments like bond will go down and that is why it stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated.

Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 11,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 26,000 units per month. At the 11,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $46, consisting of $30 in variable costs and $16 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $71 each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 4,100 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs. Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least: Multiple Choice $16. $46. $71. $30. qizket
Answer:
Selling price= $30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary cost:
Variable= $30
Fixed= $16
Number of units= 4,100
Normally, when there is unused capacity and a new customer asks for a reduced price, the fixed cost should not be taken into account when calculating the selling price. The company benefits from increasing its sales, acquiring a new customer, and perhaps getting some discounts from suppliers in the variable components.
The lower price that the company accepts is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. In this case:
Selling price= $30

A bag of food costs $10 and contains 40 units of protein, 20 units of minerals and 10 units of vitamins. A bag of food B costs $12 and contains 30 units of proteins, 20 units of minerals and 30 units of vitamins. Daily minimum requirements consist of 150 units of proteins, 90 units of minerals and 60 units of vitamins.
a. Based on the lowest possible cost, how many bags of food A and food B should be consumed by the animals each day?
b. What is the overall cost? $46.50
c. Was there any unused resources?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given choices:
Explanation:
For point a:
It is possible to say that as the material unit in either bag are same, the minimum bag number is 90 /20 = 4.5
rounded off=Minimum 5 bags
They will try to use all of these bags as the cost of bag A is poor.
When we have five bags of protein A, therefore the vitamin requirements were n’t fulfilled.
Currently, using 4 bags of A and 1 B bag, protein, vitamin and mineral obligations are fulfilled. They all are met.
Therefore, 4 food bags A and 1 food bag B need to be consumed due to the lowest cost.
For point b:
Cost total:
[tex]=( 4 \times 10 ) + ( 1 \times 12)\\\\=40 +12\\\\= \$52[/tex]
For point c:
The following are unused resources:
[tex]\text{Protein = Bag A + Bag B - Consumption}\\\\= 160 + 30 - 150\\\\=190-150\\\\= 40\\\\Minerals = 10 \\\\vitamins = 10[/tex]
Riverbed Corp bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $460000 and had an expected salvage value of $65000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be $395000. $158000. $302000. $460000.
Answer:
Book value= $302,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $460,000
Salvage value= $65,000
Useful life= 5 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (460,000 - 65,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $79,000
Now, the accumulated depreciation after 2 full years:
Accumulated depreciation= 79,000*2= $158,000
Finally, the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 460,000 - 158,000
Book value= $302,000
Rodney (a fictional person) was self-employed, running a successful business, seemingly healthy, and never thought he would have financial problems. Being self-employed, he lacked health insurance. One day on the job, Rodney suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized for a week. As a result, he owed more than $100,000 in hospital and medical bills to the hospital. After the heart attack, Rodney could not work in his physically demanding line of work, and his business suffered dramatically. The bills and mortgage payments kept piling up, and Rodney was sinking fast. On top of the medical bills and mortgage, he owed thousands of dollars to multiple companies and creditors. Rodney considered selling his house to get out of the financial crisis he was in, but the value of the house had dropped significantly. After much consideration, Rodney decided to file, bankruptcy. In the end, he decided he would rather have a bankruptcy on his record instead of dealing with a mountain of debt.

Answer:
1. Bankruptcy, ___________occurs when a debtor turns over all assets to a trustee, an individual who takes over administration of the debtor's estate.
b. An automatic stay
2. The person defined as a debtor for liquidation purposes is
b. Individuals; Rodney can file.
3. If Rodney did not intend to file for voluntary liquidation, he could not be forced into bankruptcy. a. No, he must file the bankruptcy himself.

e. Order of relief.
6. A possible consequence of Rodney's failure to show up at a creditors meeting is:
b. The court may refuse to grant the bankruptcy
Explanation:
In bankruptcy practices, an order for relief invokes the automatic stay. It is a block on Rodney's debts which brings down the iron curtain, thus, separating Rodney's pre-bankruptcy from his post-bankruptcy. It automatically creates a bankruptcy estate, which prohibits all unauthorized transfers of the Rodney's property.
An analyst compiled the following information for U Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2018: Net income was $1,700,000. Depreciation expense was $400,000. Interest paid was $200,000. Income taxes paid were $100,000. Common stock was sold for $200,000. Preferred stock (8% annual dividend) was sold at par value of $250,000. Common stock dividends of $50,000 were paid. Preferred stock dividends of $20,000 were paid. Equipment with a book value of $100,000 was sold for $200,000. Using the indirect method, what was U Inc.'s net cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018?
Answer:
Net cash from operating activities=$2,100,000
Explanation:
The net cashflow from operating activities represent how much a business generates doing its ordinary course of business.
It is the net income adjusted for all non-cash items like depreciation e.t.c
Net cash from operating activities = 1,700,000 + 400,000= $2.100,000
Net cash from operating activities=$2,100,000

Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
a. Cost of equity after the refinancing = 22.31%
b. Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = 12.66%
c. Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 4.48
d. Stock price after the refinancing = $51.99
e. Stock’s beta after the refinancing = 2.52
Explanation:
Given:
Beta = 0.70
PE ratio = Price-earnings ratio = 7.90
Ke = Cost of equity = 12.66%
MPS = Market price per share = $52
Debt rate = 3%
Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:
Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000
By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:
Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000
Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780
Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share
Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580
Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800
New number of shares = 500
New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%
b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%
c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48
d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99
e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52
