You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%
Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?
Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?
Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?
Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?
Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.
Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity
2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt
Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)
3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market
4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets
Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt
Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
The premium on a three-year insurance policy expiring on December 31, 20x11, was paid in total on January 1, 20x9. The original payment was initially debited to a prepaid asset account. The appropriate journal entry has been recorded on December 31, 20x9. The balance in the prepaid asset account on December 31, 20x9 should be Select one: a. The same as the original payment b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account c. Higher than if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account d. Zero Check
Answer:
b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account
Explanation:
We can use an example to explain this:
original journal entry to record a 3 year insurance policy on January 1 is:
Dr Prepaid insurance 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Insurance expense 1,200
Cr Prepaid insurance 1,200
balance of prepaid insurance = $3,600 - $1,200 = $2,400
If instead of recording prepaid insurance on January 1, you recorded insurance expense:
Dr Insurance expense 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr Insurance expense 2,400
balance of prepaid insurance = $2,400
James Dodgsen is a student in a graduate course in business. The professor in the course has given Dodgsen and his classmates a surprise quiz in class. Dodgsen did not do the reading for class that day because he had been grading papers as part of his TA position. He has been prepared for every other class that semester. As he glances as the quiz questions, he realizes that he does not know any of the answers. However, he sees that Jane Frampton, the student who sits next to him, is well prepared and answering the questions with great ease. He can see her answers because of her large, block-style printing. Dodgsen copies her answers.
a. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because the pop quiz was unfair.
b. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because he was fulfilling his TA responsibilities instead of preparing for class.
c. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers if he intends to read the material eventually.
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Answer:
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Explanation:
Looking at the scenario in the question above, it is possible to say that James Dodgsen was dishonest in copying Jane's responses.
This question leads us to the conclusion that Dodgen's schedule lacked organization. As much as he was prepared for the other classes and having just coincided with a surprise test when he couldn't find time to study the content of that class specifically, there is a problem looking at his classmate's answers when the test given by the teacher was individual guidance.
The organization of the agenda is essential for a student of business administration, since the corporate environment consists of the functions of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, therefore there must be established times for each task of daily fulfillment, whether in a personal or professional environment. , so that there is a greater possibility of fulfilling the essential tasks and the established objectives are properly achieved
If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000
When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.
Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.
The expected price paid by Kenji, with no other bidders present, is $:_________
Suppose the owner Of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Manuel, to the auction. Manuel is known to value the art piece at $8,000.
The expected price paid by Kenji, given the presence of the second bidder Manuel, is $:_________
Please find attached
Answer and Explanation:
1. If there are no other bidders present as from question them we can conclude that Kenji would buy the art piece for $5000. See question
2. If there is a bidder present in the name of Manuel who would bid for $8000 then Kenji would bid at $8000 and win the bid for the art piece. See question. Kenji would bid at price of 2nd highest bidder to win the bid for art piece

Bramble Corp. sells MP3 players for $60 each. Variable costs are $30 per unit, and fixed costs total $120000. How many MP3 players must Bramble sell to earn net income of $300000?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $60
Variable costs are $30 per unit
Fixed costs total $120,000.
Desired profit= $300,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?
Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04
Percentage of salary = 4%
Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. In addition to trade accounts payable, many companies have other types of current liabilities. These include amounts withheld from employees' pay, sales and other taxes payable, deposits, and other accrued liabilities.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
Companies have many different types of current liabilities. These can include various taxes payable (income tax, sales tax, payroll tax), accrued amounts for salary, vacation or other benefits, and estimates such as accrued utilities and warranty. To adhere to the concept of the matching principle, companies must estimate the amount of their other liabilities.
1. Federal anid state governments do not specily the exact______to be maint, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the govenment are considered to be a(n)______.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)______of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and______ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically______in number.
Answer:
1. Federal and state governments do not specify the exact__number of accounts____to be maintained, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the government are considered to be a(n)_liability_____.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)_sample_____of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and__compare____ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically_numerous_____in number.
Explanation:
Even Federal and State governments and business organizations apply the matching principle of the generally accepted accounting principles. The principle requires that revenues are matched to the expenses that are incurred in generating them and vice versa. The purpose is to present a balance view of financial performance and position of the reporting entity. For this reason, who expenses may not be actually paid for and they are recognized while some that have been paid for are not. The same rule applies to the revenue side.
King Costume uses a periodic inventory system. The company started the month with 6 masks in its beginning inventory that cost $8 each. During the month, King Costume purchased 41 additional masks for $10 each. At the end of the month, King counted its inventory and found that 3 masks remained unsold. Using the LIFO method, its cost of goods sold for the month is:
Answer:
$464
Explanation:
Periodic Inventory method is being used. That means valuation of inventory is done at the end of a specific period.
LIFO method is also used for determining the cost of inventory sold. FIFO stands for Last In First Out.
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold :
41 unit × $10 = $440
3 units × $8 = $24
Total = $464
The cost of goods sold for the month is: $464
A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making. Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company’s performance. Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
a. The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.b. The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.
Answer:
a. False
b. True
Explanation:
Ratio analysis is a very useful method of analyzing a company however it is not necessarily very in-depth. If a company seems to be performing below the industrial average, it would be prudent to check the reasons why the company is doing so.
The advantage of ratio analysis in this instance is that it would help point you in the right direction to know what accounts to analyze more intensely to find out why the Chinese company is not performing up to standard.
Ratio analysis are good but they do not always provide an accurate and thorough representation of a company’s performance therefore relying solely on ratios will lead to an analysis that likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.
Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:

Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1

b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?
Answer:
1. Kim:
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= 23%
2. Carl:
Percentage spent on home and car
= 65.3%
3. Debt payment to income ratio
= 40%
Explanation:
Kim's Data and Calculations:
Gross income = $1,760
Income taxes -199
After Tax Income $1,561 per month
Credit card debts = $189 per month
School loan = $172 per month
Total Debt payments = $361
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= $361/$1,561 = 23%
Carl:
House payment = $1,640
Car payment = $482
Total payments = $2,122
Take-home pay = $3,250
Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)
3. My monthly net income = $2,850
Monthly debt payments = $1,140
Debt payment to income ratio

Financial Assertions and Audit Objectives. You are engaged to examine the financial statements of Spillane Company for the year ended December 31. Assume that on November 1, Spillane borrowed $500,000 from Second National Bank to finance plant expansion. The long-term note agreement provided for the annual payment of principal and interest over five years. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Due to the unexpected difficulties in acquiring the building site, the plant expansion did not begin on time. To use the borrowed funds, management decided to invest in stocks and bonds and on November 16, invested the $500,000 in publicly traded securities
Required:
Develop specific assertions (audit objectives) related to securities (assets) based on management’s five (PCAOB) general assertions.
Answer:
Assertion 1) Existence or occurrence: the company must provide the loan documents along with proof that they actually purchased the stocks and bonds using the loan money. It would also help to have a document explaining why the building site couldn't be acquired as planned.
Assertion 2) Rights and obligations: all the legal paperwork regarding the loan, the mortgage on the existing plant and the stocks and bond paperwork must be presented.
Assertion 3) Completeness: all the relevant information must be readily available including building titles, inventories, equipment, cash receipts, etc. The auditor should be allowed to physically visit the plant and confirm the documents.
Assertion 4) Valuation and allocation: information regarding the current market values of the building, inventories and equipment should be given. The auditor should be able to confirm if the depreciation values and market values are consistent. Also, the auditor must have access to accounts receivables and should be able to analyze them to check for any inconsistencies.
Assertion 5) Presentation and disclosure: the auditor should be able to check expense accounts and capitalization accounts, and analyze them. E.g. equipment or machinery repairs must be treated as expenses and not capitalized.
We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following about these 2 firms:______.
Stock Price per share # shares outstanding Market Value of Debt
UPS $65 0.7 billion $ 5 billion
FedEx $55 250 million $ 3 billion
We also have the following data on the securities of these firms:_______.
Beta E Beta D
UPS 0.8 0
FedEx 1.1 0.1
Assume that our firm has risk-free debt with market value $20 million and equity with market value $450 million. Assume that taxes are not relevant. Please estimate our firm’s equity beta
Answer:
The answer is "0.85 "
Explanation:
In order to locate a beta of the company, we must find the average beta of unlevered UPS and FedEx and find a levered beta of the company.
Price Outstanding shares(Billion) Market valu of equity(Billion) Market value of debt(billions) D/E Ratio
UPS 65 0.7 45.5 5 0.1099
FedEx 55 0.25 13.75 3 0.2182
[tex]Unlevered \ beta= \frac{levered \ beta}{(1+((1- tax rate)\times(\frac{Debt}{Equity})))}[/tex]
taxes desn't matter , given in the question so, assumed to be 0
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ UPS= \frac{0.8}{1+(1-0)\times (0.1099)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{0.8}{1+(1)\times (0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1+(0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1.1099}\\\\=0.72[/tex]
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ FedEx= \frac{1.1}{1+(1-0)\times (0.2182)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.1}{1+(1)\times (0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1+(0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1.2182}\\\\=0.90[/tex]
[tex]Average \ Unlevered \ beta = \frac{0.72+0.90}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.62}{2}\\\\=0.81[/tex]
[tex]\text{levered beta of the delivery service firm }= unlevered \ beta \times(1+(1-taxes) \times (\frac{debt}{equity}))[/tex]
[tex]= 0.81 \times (1+(1-0)\times (\frac{20}{450})\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(1)\times (0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1.04)\\\\=0.85[/tex]

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners. The following information about AM's operations for the current year is obtained from the LLC's records.
Ordinary income $900,000
W-2 wages to employees 200,000
Depreciation expense 300,000
Interest income from bond 4,000
Long-term capital loss 6,000
Short-term capital gain 12,000
Charitable contribution 4,000
Cash distribution to Amy 20,000
Unadjusted basis of partnership depreciable property 1,600,000
Year-end LLC debt payable to unrelated parties is $140,000.
Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
200,000
