Answer:
A .Unlevered cost of equity = 9.6
b-1 Levered cost of equity = 28.69
b-2 Levered cost of equity = 14.37
b-3 Levered cost of equity = 9.6
Explanation:
A. First step is to calculate the E/A
D/A = D/(E+D)
D/A = 1.5/(1+1.5)
D/A=0.6
E/A = 1-D/A
E/A=1-0.6
E/A=0.4
Second Step is to calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = Levered cost of equity*E/A+Cost of debt*(1-tax rate)*D/A
Let plug in the formula
0.096= Levered cost of equity*=0.4+0.057*(1-0)*=0.6
Levered cost of equity =15.45%
Third step is to calculate UnLevered cost of equity using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
0.1545 = Unlevered cost of equity+1.5*(Unlevered cost of equity-0.057)*(1-0)
Unlevered cost of equity = 9.6
b-1. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were 2.0
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+2*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 28.69
b-2. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were 0.5
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+0.5*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 14.37
b-3. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were zero
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+0*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 9.6

hence, the option (b) is correct
Tinsel Co.'s balances in allowance for uncollectible accounts were $70,000 at the beginning of the current year and $55,000 at year end. During the year, receivables of $35,000 were written off as uncollectible. What amount should Tinsel report as uncollectible accounts expense at year end
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
to determine the amount that Tinsel should report as bad debt expense (or uncollectible accounts expense), we must start with the beginning balance of allowance for doubtful accounts, and then we must subtract the account's ending balance and any bad debts write offs recorded during the year:
beginning account balance $70,000
- ending account balance ($50,000)
- write offs ($35,000)
total ($20,000)
which value of a makes this investor indifferent between the risky portfolio and the risk-free asset
Answer: 8
Explanation:
Expressing the value of A that would equate the risk-free rate to the risky portfolio is;
0.06 = 0.15 − A/2(0.15)²
0.06 - 0.15 = -0.01125 * A
A = (0.06 - 0.15) / -0.01125
A = 8
With A being 8, the investor would be indifferent between the risk free asset and the risky portfolio according to their utility function.
If income increases by $100 and consumption increases by $75, the slope of the consumption function equals _____.
Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume mpc, is the slope of the consumption function and it is what this question requires us to find
We have income increase to be = 100 dollars
Then consumption increase = 75 dollars
MPC = increase in consumption ,75/increase in income 100
= 75/100
= 3/4
Therefore the marginal propensity to consume also called the slope is 3/4
Kyle actively participates in the rental of a home he owns. Kyle's AGI for the year is $75,000. He has a loss from his rental property of $20,000. How much of the loss can Kyle deduct on his income tax return this year
Answer:
Kyle can deduct $20,000 loss from his income tax return this year.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Kyle's AGI = $75,000
Rental property loss = $20,000
Maximum AGI for maximum loss deduction of $25,000 = $100,000
This is because Kyle's adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $100,000. The maximum loss deductible for rental income is $25,000.
b) The federal tax law allows for a rental income loss deduction to taxpayers who own and rent property in the U.S. The law stipulates that up to $25,000 may be deducted as a real estate loss per year as long as the individual's adjusted gross income is $100,000 or less.

Bigelow has a levered cost of equity of 14.29% and a pretax cost of debt of 7.23%. The required return on the assets is 11%. What is the firm's debt-equity ratio based on MM Proposition II with no taxes?
Answer:
0.873
Explanation:
Given that
Cost of equity, RS = 14.29% = 0.1429
Required return on assets = 11% = 0.11
Cost of debt = 7.23% = 0.0723
Then we can calculate the firm's debt equity ratio by using the relation
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.11 - 0.0723)
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.0377)
B/S(0.0377) = 0.1429 - 0.11
B/S(0.0377) = 0.0329
B/S = 0.0329 / 0.0377
B/S = 0.873
Therefore, the debt equity ratio is 0.873
An employee has year-to-date earnings of . The employee's gross pay for the next pay period is . If the FICAOASDI is % and the wage base is , how much FICAOASDI tax will be withheld from the employee's pay? (Answer is rounded to whole dollar.)

$192
Explanation:
Calculation for how much FICA-OASDI tax will be withheld from the employee's pay?
FICA-OASDI tax=($117,000-$113,900)*6.2%
FICA-OASDI tax=$3,100*6.2%
FICA-OASDI tax=$192
Therefore how much FICA-OASDI tax will be withheld from the employee's pay is $192
Fowler, Inc., just paid a dividend of $2.55 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.9 percent per year, indefinitely. If investors require a return of 10.4 percent on this stock, what is the current price
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $40.76
Explanation:
The computation of the current price is shown below:
Current price is
= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= ($2.55 × (1 + 0.039) ÷ (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $2.6495 ÷ (0.104 - 0.039)
= $2.6495 ÷ 0.065
= $40.76
Hence, the current price of the stock is $40.76
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Rappaport Industries has 6,250 perpetual bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,400 each. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.6 percent and a yield to maturity of 6.9 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the present value of the interest tax shield?
Answer:
3,500,000
Explanation
The present value of the interest tax shield can be calculated by first calculating the coupon payment and tax shield on that coupon payment. After calculating the tax shield we can easily calculate the present value of the tax shield
DATA
Number of bonds = 6250
Coupon rate = 6.6%
Face value = $1,400
Tax rate = 40%
Solution
Coupon Payment = No of Bonds x Face value x Coupon Rate
Coupon Payment = (6250 x 1400 x 6.6%)
Coupon Payment = $577,500
Tax Shield = $577,500 x 40%
Tax Shield = $231,000
Present value = Tax shield/Coupon Rate
Present value = (231,000 /0.066)
Present value = $3,500,000

Equipment was purchased for $50,000. At that time, the equipment was expected to be used eight years and have a residual value of $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the third year, the company changed its estimated useful life to a total of six years (four years remaining) and the residual value to $8,000. What is depreciation expense in the third year?
a. $8,000.
b. $5,000.
c. $7,000.
d. $5,500.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $8,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation for the first two years:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (50,000 - 10,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $5,000
Accumulated depreciation= 5,000*2= $10,000
Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:
Annual depreciation= [(50,000 - 10,000) - 8,000]/4
Annual depreciation= $8,000

It increases it, i.e., make-to-stock becomes more desirable.2. It has no impact.3. It decreases it. i.e., make-to-stock becomes less desirable.4. We cannot determine from the given information.
Answer:
Over time, consumers have less of a need for a broad product offering. How does this shift in preferences alter the desirability of make-to-stock production relative to make-to-order production?
3. It decreases it. i.e., make-to-stock becomes less desirable.
Explanation:
Given the above scenario, there will be no need for a company to produce goods that will be stored. Instead, it will wait to receive orders before it commences production of any goods. This is caused by the shift in preferences "consumers have less of a need for a broad product offering." This means that make-to-order will be highly prioritized while reducing or eliminating make-to-stock production facilities.

A market that has a single supplier of a product with no close substitutes and barriers to entry is:________
a. an oligopoly.
b. monopolistically competitive.
c. a pure monopoly.
Answer:
c. a pure monopoly.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Additionally, a public power company refers to a company that provides power (electricity) utility to the general public of a society.
Hence, a market that has a single supplier of a product with no close substitutes and barriers to entry is a pure monopoly.
