The Aggie Company has EBIT of $50,000 and market value debt of $100,000 outstanding with a 9% coupon rate. The cost of equity for an all equity firm would be 14%. Aggie has a 35% corporate tax rate. Investors face a 20% tax rate on debt receipts and a 15% rate on equity. Determine the value of Aggie.
A) $120,000
B) $162,948
C) $258,537
D) $263,080
E) $332,143
Answer:
D) $263,080
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the value
First step is to calculate the Unlevered firm amount
Unlevered firm = [$50,000 (.65)]/ .14
Unlevered firm= $232,142.86
Second Step is to calculate leverage tax shield value using this formula
Leverage tax shield value = [1 - ((1 - .35)(1 - .15)/1 - .20))]*$100,000
Leverage tax shield value = $30,937.50
Last step is to calculate the value
Using this formula
Total value=Unlevered firm+Leverage tax shield value
Let plug in the formula
Total Value = $232,142.86 + $30,937.50
Total Value = $263,080
Therefore the value will be $263,080

Treasury bill, face value $10,000 $10,000
Price at sale 9993.93 9976.74
Discount 6.07 23.07
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For three months
Simple yield is
= Discount ÷ Price at sale
= 6.07 ÷ 9993.93
= 0.0607%
And, the annualized yield is
= 0.0607% ÷ 3 × 12
= 0.2428%
For 6 months
= Discount ÷ Price at sale
= 23.07 ÷ 9976.74
= 0.2312%
And, the annualized yield is
= 0.2312% ÷ 6 × 12
= 0.4625%
1.Provide definitions of throughput, inventory and operational expense given in The Goal. How do they compare with traditional definitions

If You-Will-Never-Pay-It-Off Loan Company lends you $50 on Monday, and you have to pay $60 after a week, what nominal rate of interest (APR) are they charging
Answer:
the annual percentage rate is 1040%
Explanation:
The computation of the nominal rate of interest is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
$60 = $50 × (1 + rate of interest)^1
1 + rate of interest = ($60 ÷ $50)
rate of interest is
= (1.2- 1 ) × 100
= 20%
Now the annual percentage rate is
= 20% × 52
= 1040%
hence, the annual percentage rate is 1040%

Kitchel told Parker that he needed a couple of weeks to think about his proposal. How should Parker handle this
Answer: Parker should close the deal quickly
Explanation:
Giving Kitchel so much time to go over the proposal is not ideal because in that time events could happen that would ensure Kitchel stayed with their current supplier such as the current supplier finding out and offering better terms thereby enticing Kitchel to stay.
It is imperative therefore that Parker close the deal as quickly as possible. He can do this by offering time conscious incentives that require that Kitchel order fast, he could even go meet Kitchel in person and press his claim and even hit hard at the weakness of Richmond's current supplier by stating that he would deliver things ahead of schedule.

In 2019, Waterway Industries sold 3000 units at $250 each. Variable expenses were $165 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780000. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. If Waterway cuts selling price by 4%, what is Waterway's break-even point in units for 2020?
a) 9559
b) 9176.
c) 10000.
d) 10400.
Answer:
d) 10400.
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in units is shown below:
Break even point in units is
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit
= $780,000 ÷ ($250 × 96% - $165)
= $780,000 ÷ ($240 - $165)
= $780,000 ÷ $75
= 10,400 units
hence, the correct option is d. 10,400 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

If the Fed has an interest-rate target, meaning they want to control the interest rate at a specific rate such as 4%, why will an increase in the demand for reserves lead to a rise in the money supply?
Answer:
A rise in demand for reserves will shift the demand for reserves curve to the right which will cause a rise in interest rates. The Fed will then have to act to reduce this interest rate because they would prefer that it remained at the specific rate as mentioned.
To do this they will embark on Open Market Operations aimed at increasing money supply as this will reduce interest rates by increasing the supply of reserves because it will shift the supply curve for reserves to the right. The new equilibrium will be a lower interest rate.
The relevant Open Market Operation will be the buying of bonds from the public.
