Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 65% common equity and 35% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $7 million would have a cost of re = 16%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $2 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10%, and an additional $5 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $5.7 million.
Required:
What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000
This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%
Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000
Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%
WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)
= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))
= 12.5%

if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.
the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%
A new minor league baseball stadium is opening soon and the owner is only allowing local, family-owned restaurants to sell within the park. Two hotdog vendors are set to sell within the stadium: (i) The HOT Dog and (ii) Ballpark Frankies. The Baseball park necessitates that the vendors set their prices at the beginning of each season and then hold the price constant during the games that occur that season. The fans are not sensitive to the quality of the hotdog, just the price. The two vendors have every inclination to stay in the ballpark for the life of their firms, so imagine that this will be an infinitely repeated game. Based on relative prices, the potential payoffs for the season are listed below: The HOT Dog Ballpark Frankies Low Price High Price Low Price $10,000 , $10,000 $90,000 , -$3,000 High Price -$3,000 , $90,000 $20,000 , $20,000 Given the high current interest rate of 10%, The HOT Dog is considering to post a high price in the inaugural season and hope that Ballpark Frankies follows as well with a high price of their own. Evaluate if this is a risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Answer:
This is a very risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Explanation:
Seeing as how they must keep the price continuously throughout the season, if Frankies' sets a low price, The HOT Dog will lose almost all of their business.
Jefferson Inc. (JI) is a relatively new company that wants to improve its employee rewards, compensation, and benefits. The company understands that there are effective reward systems that will motivate employees. However, JI management is not sure which would be the best for the company. Compensation, another important area, must also be improved so that it will satisfy all employees effectively. In addition, the company wants to create benefits to keep the employees not just satisfied, but also motivated. Yet another pressing issue is deciding on the training methods that are to be used to successfully teach the new employees.
JI believes that it will be on the right path if all of these changes can be successfully accomplished. The company plans to incorporate performance appraisals so it can be sure that the rewards, compensation, and benefits are effectively distributed. Refer to Jefferson, Inc. JI management must consider implementing the many different types of benefits. These include all of the following except :__________
a. insurance packages.
b. pension and retirement programs.
c. worker's compensation insurance.
d. Social Security.
e. profit sharing.
Answer:
E. Profit sharing
Explanation:
Employee benefits are the additional gains that employees enjoy in an organization in addition to their salaries.
There are different types of benefits that employers offer their employees.
Some of these are:
1. Medical benefits
2. Retirement benefits
3. Disability benefits
4. Insurance
5. Social security
E. T. C
Profit sharing is not an employee benefit so it is the odd 1 out of these options.
In the month of March, Baldwin corporation received orders of 169 units at a price of $15 for the product boat. Baldwin uses the accrual method of accounting and offers 30 day credit terms. Baldwin delivers 112 units in March and the balance of 56 units in April. They receive payments of 56 units in March, 56 units in April, and 56 units in May. How much revenue is recognized on the March income statement from this order how much
Answer: $1,680
Explanation:
According to the Accrual method, revenue from sales is recognized when the obligations of the sale have been fulfilled. In other words, when the goods are delivered.
In March, Baldwin delivers 112 units so this is the units that will be recognized for revenue:
= 112 * 15 per unit
= $1,680
The net income reported on the income statement for the current year was $225,000. Depreciation recorded on plant assets was $38,000. Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $2,000 and $8,000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $1,000 and $11,000 respectively. How much cash was provided by operating activities
Answer:
The amount of cash provided by operating activities is $243,000.
Explanation:
The amount of cash provided by operating activities can be calculated as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities = Net income + Depreciation - Increase in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Decrease in prepaid expenses - Decrease in accounts payable
Cash provided by operating activities = $225,000 + $38,000 - $2,000 - $8,000 + $1,000 - $11,000
Cash provided by operating activities = $243,000
Therefore, the amount of cash provided by operating activities is $243,000.
The Distance Plus partnership has the following capital balances at the beginning of the current year: Tiger (50% of profits and losses)$70,000Phil (40%) 40,000Ernie (10%) 55,000 Each of the following questions should be viewed independently. If Sergio invests $60,000 in cash in the business for a 25 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded
Answer:
Cash A/c (Dr) $60,000
Sergio Capital A/c (Cr) $41,250
Tiger Capital A/c (Cr) $9,375
Phil Capital A/c (Cr) $7,500
Ernie Capital A/c (Cr) $1,875
(To record admission of new partner)
Explanation:
The total investment by Sergio is $60,000 in cash will be debited in the journal entry recorded. His interest in the business is 25% which would be credited. So, first we calculate the total investment already made by the partners which is $165,000 (70,000 + 40,000 + 55,000).
Now, Sergio's investment is 25% of the total share of investment made by the partners which accounts to $41,250 (165,000 * 25%). This amount will be credited as Sergio Capital A/c.
The difference $18,750 (60,000 - 41,250) will credited in the capital A/c of other partners which would be divided proportionately to their business share. As done below:
Tiger Capital A/c - $9,375 (18,750 * 50%)
Phil Capital A/c - $7,500 (18,750 * 40%)
Ernie Capital A/c - $1,875 (18,750 * 10%)
Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $2.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $15,000.00 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer:
$5,370
Explanation:

Fickle Company purchased a machine at a total cost of $220,000 (no residual value) at the beginning of 2018. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. At the beginning of 2021, it was decided to change to straight-line. An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except: Multiple Choice The cumulative effect of the change. Justification that the change is preferable. The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported. The effect of a change on any financial statement line items affected for all periods reported.
Answer:
Fickle Company
An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except:
The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Total cost of machine = $220,000
Useful life of machine = 10 years
Method of depreciation = the sum-of-the-years'-digits method
b) The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation adds up the years (e.g. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to obtain 55 as the sum-of-the-years'-digits denominator. Each year's depreciation is then based on the number of years remaining. For example, the depreciation expense for year 1 will be $40,000 (10/55 * $220,000).
In disclosing this change in accounting method, that is, from the sum-of-the-years'-digits method to the straight-line method of depreciation, Fickle does not need to disclose the effect of the change on per share basis.
you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased
) when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.

She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).

The Solow Growth Model, developed by Robert Solow, a Nobel Prize winning economist. It was the first neoclassical growth model which was was built upon the Keynesian Harrod-Domar model. The modern theory of economic growth is given by the Solow Model.
The equation below gives us the change in capital stock per worker with population growth at rate n;
Δk = sf(k) – (δ + n)k.
Where k: capital stock per worker in period t
s: savings rate
δ: rate of depreciation of capital
n: labor or number of workers
sf(k): savings per capita multiplied by a fraction of income saved.
e. Business Fluctuations: Variations in the growth rate from the long-run rate of economic growth real shock business fluctuations.
what more, could starbucks have done, to maximize it's chances of success with laboulange
Answer:
It probably felt like the end of the line last year when Starbucks announced plans to close all 22 La Boulange pastry shops. This was the very same croissant-creating brand that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once publicly praised as a key to boosting the quality of Starbucks baked goods.
But for La Boulange founder Pascal Rigo, the store closure wasn’t the end. It was a new beginning. At 56, Rigo is in the midst of making one of fast-casual’s most widely watched reinventions. In Humpty Dumpty-like fashion, he is gluing the broken pieces together again and has opened five stores in the San Francisco Bay Area—with two more on the way—under the name, La Boulangerie de San Francisco.
His grand plans: to reassemble La Boulangerie as a fast-casual powerhouse by opening up some 20 to 40 locations. He also plans to enlarge its 40,000-foot baked goods facility in San Francisco that attracts business from such high-profile retail clients as Costco and, reportedly, Trader Joe’s. While it may not be quite the magnitude of what Chipotle CEO Steve Ells accomplished after buying back Chipotle from McDonald’s, the guy who founded La Boulange has a nice chunk of it back from Starbucks.How is Starbucks diversifying itself by purchasing La Boulange? y increasing its product offerings to include bakery items. How does Starbucks' current market power increase its chances for success in expanding its product offerings to include bakery items?

At the present time, Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC) has 15-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,329.55 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 12%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 35%. If PRC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)
Answer:
Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC)
The reasonable estimate for PRC's after-tax cost of debt is:
= 0.08.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of 15-year noncallable bonds outstanding = $1,000 per bond
Current market price per bond = $1,329.55
Coupon rate of bonds = 12% per annum
Federal-plus-state tax rate = 35%
Cost of new debt = $120 per annum ($1,000 * 12%)
After-tax cost of debt = $120 (100% - 35%)
= $120 * 65%
= $78
= $78/$1,000 = 0.078
= 0.08
b) The cost of PRC's new debt is the calculated rate that the company will pay on its new debt. The major differentiating factor between the cost of debt and the after-tax cost of debt is the deduction of interest expense. In PRC's capital structure decisions, determining the cost of debt, especially the after-tax cost of debt, and comparing it with the cost of equity involve some rigorous financial computations.

Azule Co. manufactures in two sequential processes, cutting and binding. The two departments report the information below for a recent month. Cutting Binding Beginning work in process Transferred in from cutting dept. $ 1,200 Direct materials $ 1,095 2,862 Conversion 3,650 3,800 Costs added during March Direct materials $ 13,740 $ 9,332 Conversion 18,300 19,475 Transferred in from cutting dept. 17,395 Transferred to finished goods 31,000 Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance in the work in process inventory for each department is shown below:
For Cutting department
= Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred in from cutting department
= $1,095 + $3,650 + $13,740 + $18,300 - $17,395
= $19,390
And, for binding department
= Transferred in from cutting department Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred to finished goods
= $1,200 + $2,862 + $3,800 + $9,332 + $19,475 - $31,000
= $5,669
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2. If an example belongs in both, be sure to check both boxes.
Example M1 M2
Susan has $8,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Larry has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
Raphael has $25,000 in a money market account.
Answer and Explanation:
The identification is as follows:
As we know that
M! money supply involved all the currecies that have physical existance i.e. notes, coins, demand deposits etc
While on the other hand, M2 involves M1 + near money i.e. mutual funds, checking deposits, money market etc
Since Susan has 2 year CD so it would be classified as a M2 money supply
Since larry withdraw from the bank so it would be included in M1 and M2
And, since raphael has $25,000 in money market so would be classified as a M2 money supply
