Preston Corp. is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sells for $1,100. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 5.52 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Preston's beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 3 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Preston's WACC

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

[tex]\text{Equity expense = free risk rate+beta} \times \text{market risk premium}[/tex]

                        [tex]=3 \% + 1.2 \times 5 \% \\\\= 0.03 + 1.2 \times 0.05 \\\\= 0.03 +0.06 \\\\= 0.09\\\\=9 \%[/tex]

[tex]\text{Preferred inventory cost} = \frac{\text{annual dividend}}{( price - floation \ rate)}[/tex]

                                     [tex]= \frac{(100 \times 5.46 \%)}{(100-100 \times 5 \%)}\\\\=5.75 \%[/tex]

[tex]\text{Excel feature = RATE(nper, PMT, PV, FV)}[/tex]

                     [tex]=(RATE( \frac{20 \times 2,1000 \times 12 \%}{2,-1100,1000})) \times 2 \\\\=10.77 \%[/tex]

[tex]\text{Debt expense after tax}= 10.77 \% \times (1-40 \%)[/tex]

WACC from Preston   = Capital weight [tex]\times[/tex]  Capital equity costs+cost of common stock [tex]\times[/tex] cost of common shares [tex]\times[/tex] debt cost [tex]\times[/tex] (1-tax rate)

[tex]=60 \% \times 9 \%+20 \% \times 5.75 \%+20 \% \times 6.46 \% \\\\=7.84 \%[/tex]

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year

Answers

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

Weight in equity = 0.31

Weight in debt = 0.69

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated market value of equity = $400,000

Debts = $275,000

Net equity after debt = $125,000

Weight in equity = $125,000/$400,000 = 0.31

Weight in debt = $275,000/$400,000 = 0.69

b) The weight in equity shows the relationship between the equity and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

c) The weight in debt shows the relationship between the debt capital and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

All three of the $5000 billion GDP figures (Production, Income and Spending) are in ____________ dollars.

Answers

Answer: D inflation adjusted, real

The GDP calculation acquired in the flow chart of $5,000 billion were all done after adjusting for inflation which means that they were in real dollars.

Inflation adjusted GDP enables more effective comparison between different periods as inflation tends to inflate the prices of goods and services and can make one think that the economy has grown more than it actually has.

When the value of GDP is inflation adjusted, it can then be seen just how much the economy improved or shrank.

If Tonya purchased 200 decorative pillows at $12 each and sold 75 of the pillows for $20 each, what is the cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

the cost of goods sold is $1,500

Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.

Answers

Answer:

False, the labor forced increased

Explanation:

labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)

lets say L = the total labor force in 2010

by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million

net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

Rocky Mountain Bottling Company produces a soft drink that is sold for a dollar. At production and sales of 1,000,000 units, the company pays $700,000 in production costs, half of which are fixed costs. At that volume, general, selling, and administrative costs amount to $320,000, of which $70,000 are fixed costs. What is the amount of contribution margin per unit

Answers

Answer:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

Explanation:

total variable production costs = $350,000

total fixed production costs = $350,000

total variable S&A expenses = $250,000

total fixed S&A expenses = $70,000

total costs = $1,020,000

total fixed costs = $420,000

total variable costs = $600,000

sales price = $1

variable cost per unit = $600,000 / 1,000,000 = $0.60

contribution margin per unit = $1 - $0.60 = $0.40

All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three​ stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger​ (currently $28​/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead​ (currently $73​/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates​ (currently $9​/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43​/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67​/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the​ portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio​ earn? c. If you​ don't buy or sell any shares after the price​ change, what are your new portfolio​ weights?

Answers

Answer:

a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24

Number of shares of GoldFinger =  10166.6667

Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73

Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685

Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667

New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6

New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002

New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578

b. The return that the portfolio​ earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%

c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578

= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578

= 0.7734

= 77.34%

Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578

= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578

= 0.15587

= 15.59%

Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%

= 7.07%

Answer:

Kepler Company

a. Return on assets =  Net Income/Total Assets

= $ 97,800/$1,100,000     $ 79,200/$830,000

= 8.89%                               = 9.54%

b. Return on stockholders' equity = Net Income/Stockholders' equity

=  $ 97,800/$400,000     $ 79,200/$330,000

= 24.45%                               = 24%

c. Earnings per share = Net Income/Outstanding common shares

= $ 97,800/100,000     $ 79,200/100,000

= $0.98                               = $0.79

d. Price-earnings ratio = Market price/Earnings per share

= $2.98/$0.98                    = $2.98/$0.79

= 3.04 times                       = 3.77 times

e. Dividend yield =  Dividend per share/price per share

= $0.28/$2.98                    = $0.19/$2.98

= 9.40%                                      = 6.38%

f. Dividend payout ratio = Total dividends/Net Income

= $27,800/$97,800             = $19,200/$79,200

= 28.43%                              = 24.24%

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Ratings

Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds.  It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.

Explanation:

Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions.  While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.

The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be ________. Prepare all necessary journal entries.

Answers

Answer:

$$7,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts

Using this formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance =

Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense

Let plug in the formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000

Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000
