A firm wants to create a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12 percent. The firm's cost of equity is 16 percent and its pre-tax cost of debt is 6 percent. The tax rate is 20 percent. What does the debt-equity ratio (D/E) need to be for the firm to achieve its target WACC
Answer: 0.56
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt is:
= 6% * ( 1 - 20%)
= 4.8%
Assume that the weight for debt is "x" which would mean that the weight for Equity is "1 - x".
WACC = (Weight of equity * cost of equity) + (Weight of debt * After tax cost of debt)
0.12 = ( (1 - x) * 0.16) + 0.048x
0.12 = 0.16 - 0.16x + 0.048x
0.12 - 0.16 = - 0.112x
x = -0.04 / -0.112
x = 35.7%
Weight of equity = 1 - 35.7% = 64.3%
Debt to equity ratio:
= 35.7% / 64.3%
= 0.56
Assume that the quantity of X is measured on the horizontal axis, and the quantity of Y is measured on the vertical axis. Assume that the price of X is $60, the price of Y is $30 and Rafe has an weekly income of $180. Which of the following is true? He can afford 6 units of good Y. His budget line has a slope of 1/3. He can afford 6 units of good X. His budget line has a slope of −1/3.
Answer:
True : He can afford 6 units of good Y'
Explanation:
Budget Line is a combination of two goods, consumer can afford with entire given money income & prices.
Equation : p1 x1 +p2 x2 = m. Here p1 & p2 are prices of two goods, x1 & x2 are quantities of two goods, m is money income.
Intercept of budget line is max quantity of a good consumer can buy spending only on either good. Formula = m / p1 & m / p2
As : m = 180 , p1 (px) = 60 , p2 (py) = 30 . Intercepts (x & y) = 180 / 60 = 3 & 180 / 30 = 6 respectively.
So, 'He can afford 6 units of good Y' is True. 'He can afford 6 units of good X' is False.
Slope shows the trade off of goods, given money income & price. Formula = = p1 / p2 = px / py = 60 / 30 = (-) 2. 'His budget line slope = 1/3 or -1/3', both are False
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $ 120 $ 112 Machine minutes needed per unit 10 minutes 8 minutes A total of 60,000 machine minutes are available each period and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period
Answer:
$840,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period
First step
L =120/10
L= 12
C= 112/8
C= 14
Now let the largest possible total contribution margin
Largest possible total contribution margin C=112*( 60,000/8 )
Largest possible total contribution margin C= 112*7500 units
Largest possible total contribution margin C = $840,000
Therefore the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period is $840,000
Suppose that you are a speculator that anticipates an appreciation of the Singapore dollar (S$). You purchase a call option contract on Singapore dollars. Each contract represents S$40,000, with a strike price of $0.69 and call option premium of $0.03 per unit. Suppose that the spot price of the Singapore dollar is $0.70 just before the expiration of the call option contract. At this time, you call the contract and immediately sell the Singapore dollars to a bank at the current spot price.
Fill in the following table from your (the buyer's) perspective.
Transaction Per Unit Per Contract
Selling price of $0.92 _________
- Purchase Price of 5$ -$0.86 _________
- Premium Paid for Option -$0.02 _________
Net profit _________ _________
Answer: $1600
Explanation:
Selling price:
Per unit = $0.92
Per contract = $0.92 × 40000 = $36800
Purchase price of $5:
Per unit = -$0.86
Per contract = -$0.86 × 40000 = -$34400
Premium Paid for Option:
Per unit: -$0.02
Per contract = -$0.02 × 40000 = -800
Net profit = $36800 + (-$34400) + (-800)
= $36800 - $34400 - $800
= $1600
The net profit is $1600

Use the percentage of credit sales method to calculate the bad debt expense.
Answer:
$31,400
Explanation:
Ruby estimates that only 2% of its 2019 credit sales will be written off
Ruby Red has a $12,800 credit balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts
Ruby Red has credit sales of $1,570,000.
Bad debt expense = Credit sales * 2% of its 2019 credit sales
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 2/100
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 0.02
Bad debt expense = $31,400

The Ashford Twins hired you as a consultant to estimate the company's WACC. You have obtained the following information. (1) The company's noncallable bonds mature in 20 years, have a coupon rate of 7.00% paid annually, a par value of $1,000, and a current market price of $850. (2) The company's tax rate is 28%. (3) The required rate of return on the company's common stock based on CAPM is 10.0%. (4) The target capital structure consists of 20% debt, with the remainder comprised of common equity. What is its WACC
Answer:
9.24 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :
Cost of Debt r is
Pv = - $850
Fv = $1,000
n = 20
p/yr = 1
pmt = $1,000 x 7.00% = $70
r = ??
Using a financial calculator r is 8.60 %
thus,
After tax cost of debt = 8.60 % x (1 - 0.28)
= 6.192 %
therefore
WACC = 10.0% x 80 % + 6.192 % x 20 %
= 9.2384 or 9.24 %
The company's WACC is 9.24 %
On November 1, 2015, Ybarra Construction Company issued $400,000 of 5-year bonds that pay interest at an annual rate of 5%. The interest payments are due every six months (that is, the interest is compounded semi-annually). At the end of the five-year period, Ybarra must pay the bond holders a balloon payment of $400,000. a. What would the issue price of the bonds be if the prevailing interest rate is: Round answers to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
the question is incomplete, but I can give two examples of interest rate being higher or lower:
For example, interest rate is 6%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁰ = $297,637.57
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.5302 (PVIFA, 3%, 10 peridos) = $85,302
Market price = $382,939.57
Second example, interest rate is 4%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $328,139.32
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.9826 (PVIFA, 2%, 10 peridos) = $89,823
Market price = $417,962.32
A hospitality company is evaluating building a new hotel in Bloomington (capital project) that management forecasts will generate $45,000 each year over its six (6) year life. If the required rate of return given the project's identified risks is 12% (percent), and the project's up front costs are estimated at $165,000, should management go forward with the project?
a. Management should approve the new hotel since the project's NPV is positive.
b. Management should reject the new hotel project as the project's NPV is negative.
c. Unable to determine given information.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-165,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 6 = $45,000
I = 12%
NPV = $20,013.33
the project should be approved because NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

On June 17, the Lattern Company issued 120,000 shares of its $0.10 par value common stock in exchange for land. On the date of the transaction, the fair value of the common stock, evidenced by its market price, was $10 per share. The journal entry to record this transaction includes:
Answer:
Debit : Land $1,200,000
Explanation:
The journal entry lattern Company need to record is
Dr Land $1,200,000
------------ Cr Credit common shares $12,000
------------ Cr Paid in capital - Common shares $1,188,000
As 120,000 shares is exchanged, for the land and the share is traded in the exchange, the value of the land should be recorded at the market price of this
= 120,000 shares or 120,000 × $10 = $1,200,000
Common share account is recorded at lar value x number of shares issued = $0.1 × $120,000 = $12,000 while paid in capital common share account records the difference between market price and par value at the time of shares issuance or
= (10 - 0.1) × 120,000
= $1,188,000

Sarah’s first questions for you have to do with the general ideas and terminology used to evaluate variances. Provide answers to the following questions (1)-(3). 1. Why might Sarah want to use standard costs to compare with her actual costs? a. Standard costs give management a cost structure for products that is applicable for the entire life of the business. b. Standard costs allow management to motivate employees by comparing their performance to what it would be under perfect conditions. c. Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.
Answer:
Sarah
The reason for Sarah to want to use standard costs to compare with her actual costs is:
c) Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.
Explanation:
Standard costs provide a control technique for evaluating the performance of Sarah's company at three levels: a standard performance level, a measure of actual performance, and a measure of the difference (variance) between standard and actual costs. Sarah will also use the variances resulting from the comparison of standard costs with actual costs to measure the non-financial performance of the entity.
Your firm can make a product in-house for $11.50 per unit using new production equipment which would cost $30,000. Your firm could alternatively purchase the same item for $16.25 per unit using a legal contract which will cost $2000 to create and negotiate. What is the approximate break-even point
Answer:
The indifference point is 5,895 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In-house:
Unitary variable cost= $11.5
Fixed cost= 30,000
Buy:
Unitary variable cost= $16.25
Fixed cost= 2,000
To calculate the indifference point, we need to establish the total cost formulas for each option:
In-house:
Total cost= 30,000 + 11.5x
x= number of units
Buy:
Total cost= 2,000 + 16.25x
x= number of untis
Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:
30,000 + 11.5x = 2,000 + 16.25x
28,000 = 4.75x
5,895 = x
The indifference point is 5,895 units

Carry all interim calculations to S decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance Is + -1.
Answer: a. $12,022
b. $499,896
c. $148
Explanation:
a. What equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year?
Let the equal amount be represented by a.
Therefore, $2,400,000 = FV(7%,40,xa
Based on the information given in the question, we'll then use excel function,
a = PMT(7%, 40, 2400000)
= 12,022
Therefore, the equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year is $12022.
b. What is the buying power of his $2,400,000 in terms of a base 40 years ago?
Let the buying power be represented by x.
Based on the information given in the question,
x × (100% + 4%)^40 = 2,400,000
x × (1.04)^40 = 2400000
x × 4.8010 = 2400000
4.8010x = 2400000
x = 2400000/4.8010
x = 499,895.86
x = 499,896
Therefore, the buying power is $499,896.
c. If he could buy a TV 40 years ago for $500, what would a comparable one cost today if the consumer electronics inflation rate is -3 percent?
The price of TV today will be:
= $500 × (1 - 3%)^40
= $500 × (1 - 0.03)^40
= $500 × 0.97^40
= $500 × 0.29571
= $148
Therefore, the price of the tv will be $148

The risk-free rate of return is 10.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 17%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 1.5. Xyrong pays out 50% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $13 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 24% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock
Answer:
$88.24
Explanation:
The computation of the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is shown below;
k = risk free rate of retunr+ beta[expected market rate of return - risk free rate of return]
= 10.5% + 1.5(17% - 10.5%)
= 20.25%
Now
growth rate = b × ROE
= .5 × 24%
= 12%
Now the intrinsic value of the stock is
= (($13 × 50%) × (1 + 0.12)) ÷ (0.2025 - 0.12)
= $88.24

Explanation:
On January 1, 2016, Belden, Inc. issued long-term notes payable for $50,000. The note will be paid over 10 years with payments of $5,000 plus 12% interest due each January 1, beginning January 1, 2017. Prepare the amortization schedule for the first three payments.
Answer:
Belden, Inc.
Amortization Schedule
Period PV PMT Interest Deduction Net Liability
2017 $50,000.00 $11,000.00 $6,000.00 $5,000.00 $45,000.00
2018 $45,000.00 $10,400.00 $5,400.00 $5,000.00 $40,000.00
2019 $40,000.00 $9,800.00 $4,800.00 $5,000.00 $35,000.00
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Long-terms payable = $50,000
Period of note = 10 years
First payment = $11,000 ($5,000 principal + $6,000 interest)
Interest rate = 12%
Long-term payable after January 1, 2017 = $45,000 ($50,000 - $5,000)
12% Interest on payable balance of $45,000 = $5,400
Second payment = $10,400 ($5,000 principal + $5,400 interest)
Long-term payable after January 1, 2018 = $40,000 ($45,000 - $5,000)
12% Interest on payable balance of $40,000 = $4,800
Third payment = $9,800 ($5,000 principal + $4,800 interest)
Long-term payable after January 1, 2019 = $35,000 ($40,000 - $5,000)

2 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the length of time it takes for the future cash flows to equal the initial investment.
$224,000 = $112,000 + $112,000

It takes 2 years for the cashflows to equal initial investment
Road Master Shocks has 15,000 units of a defective product on hand that cost $80,000 to manufacture. The company can either sell this product as scrap for $6 per unit or it can sell the product for $9 per unit by reworking the units and correcting the defects at a cost of $40,000. Prepare a schedule to show the effect of selling the defective units as scrap or rework.
Answer:
If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 15,000
Sell as-is:
Selling price= $6 per unit
Rework:
Selling price= $9
Total cost= $40,000
The original production costs ($80,00) should not be taken into account because they remain constant for the two options.
Now, we will determine the effect on the income of both choices:
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 6*15,000= $90,000 increase
Re-work:
Revenue= 15,000*9= 135,000
Total cost= (40,000)
Effect on income0 $95,000 increase
If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.
