argaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 10 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. The relevant tax rate is 23 percent.a. What is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

WACC =  8.41%

Explanation:

The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool..

After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt

                                   = (1-0.23)×  6% = 4.6%

Type                         Cost (%)               Weight               cost × weight

Equity                          10                          70                           7

Preferred stock          5                            5                             0.25

Debt                            4.6%                       25                          1.155

Total                                                       100                              8.405

WACC =  8.405 / 100   ×  100 = 8.41%

WACC =  8.41%

Answers

Answer:

A.  price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm is an ideal firm in which different firms sell products that are homogeneous or similar in nature. They are price takers because the prices of goods are determined by changes in demand and supply, therefore they must accept the market equilibrium price. They do not attempt to fix the prices of commodities. The opposite of this type of firm is a monopoly where a firm has complete control of a market, having the ability to change prices as it wills.

An example can be found among businesses that sell similar kinds of products. It could be in the form of grocery stores that sell similar wares. When any of the sellers leave the market, it does not affect the other sellers as their prices are at equilibrium. Therefore, anyone can enter or exit this type of market.

The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually 624,980** and we found it out to be 627 228**  . This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33

If we multiply 1.325 *  471,600  we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $30

Direct labor 15

Variable factory overhead 26

Because there is unused capacity, the fixed costs won't increase. Fixed factory overhead should not be taken into account.

Total unitary variable cost= $71

The difference between buying and making is $14 per unit. It is $14 cheaper to make the unit.

The MoMi Corporation’s income before interest, depreciation and taxes, was $2.7 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 15% of pre tax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 30%. Depreciation was $330,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unlevered cash flow is 12% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $5 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the value of the firm and the firm’s equity. (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)

Answers

Answer:

1. The value of the firm is $23,760,000

2. The value of the equity is $18.76m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of the firm we would have to use the following formula:

Value of firm = FCF1 / (r - g) = FCF0 x (1 + g) / (r - g)

Operating Cash Flows (OCF) = (EBITDA - Depreciation) x (1 - tax) + Depreciation

= (2,700,000 - 330,000) x (1 - 30%) + 330,000

= $1,989,000

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OCF - Investment

We know that investment = 15% of EBITDA = 15% x 2,700,000 = 405,000

Current FCF = 1,989,000 - 405,000 = 1,584,000

Therefore, Value of the firm = 1,584,000 x (1 + 5%) / (12% - 5%) = $23,760,000

To calculate the value of equity we would have to use the following formula:

Value of equity = Value of Firm - Value of Debt = 23.76 - 5 = $18.76m

Answer:

Value of the firm                          $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity            $ 11550000.

Explanation:

Cash flow from operations = $ 1785000 (1700000 + 5 % of 1700000).

Depreciation = $ 241500. (230000 + 5 % of 230000).

Taxable income = $ 1543500 (1785000 - 241500)

Net income (after tax) = 1543500 - 30 % of 1543500 = $ 1080450.

Cash flow from operations (after tax) = 1080450 + 241500 (Depreciation, being non cash expense). = $ 1321950.

Free cash flow available = Cash flow from operations (after tax) - Income from investment.

= 1321950 - (1700000 * 17 % * 1.05)

= 1321950 - 303450.

= $ 1018500.

Value of the firm = Free cash flow available / (Capitalization rate - Growth rate)

= 1018500 / (0.12 - 0.05)

= 1018500 / 0.07

= $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity = Total value of firm - Value of debt of firm

= 14550000 - 3000000

= $ 11550000.

Conclusion :-

Value of the firm                          $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity            $ 11550000.

The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $7. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.

You have the following information on average inventories from last year's financial statement: Raw materials $1,500,000 Work-in-process $1,200,000 Finished goods $800,000 In addition, the cost of goods sold last year (50 weeks) was $20 million. What is its total inventory (measured as weeks of supply) Answer

Answers

Answer:

A.8.75 weeks

B.5.71

Explanation:

a.

Weeks of supply = average aggregate inventory value/weekly sales at cost

=(1,500,000 + 1,200,000 + 800,000)/(20,000,000/50)

=3,500,000/400,000

= 8.75 weeks

b.Inventory turnover = annual sales (at cost)/average aggregate inventory value

=20 million/3.5 million

= 5.71

Answer:

Weeks Of Supply = 27.82 weeks

Explanation:

Weeks of Supply tells us that on average how long an inventory will last based on current demand.

The formula to calculate it is given below

Weeks Of Supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply = Raw Materials + Work In Process + Finished Goods/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply =$1,500,000+ $1,200,000+ $800,000/$ 20,000,000/52

Weeks Of Supply = 10,700,000/384615.385= 27.82 weeks

If the weeks of supply is lower it is better.

Inventory Turnover= $ 20,000,000/10,700,000=1.87 turns

In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.
e. Comparing the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.

A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment

Answers

Answer:

She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Explanation:

Solution

Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment  or

or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000

so

The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.

Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $70 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 12 percent, for new preferred stock, 9 percent, and for new debt, 2 percent. What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project ?

Answers

Answer:

$88,832,487.31

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

FT = flotation cost of new debt percent × target capital debt percent + flotation cost of new common stock percent × target capital common stock percent +  flotation cost of new preferred stock percent × target capital preferred stock percent

= 0.02 × 0.25+ 0.12 × 0.60 + 0.09 × 0.15

= 0.005 + 0.072 + 0.135

= 0.212

Now

True initial cost

= $70 million ÷ ( 1 - 0.212)

= $70 million ÷ 0.788

= $88,832,487.31

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.

Answers

Answer:

Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.

Explanation:

First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.

On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the cash payment is $20

Explanation:

The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.

The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor

discount factor=1/(1+r)^n

where is the rate of time preference of 5%'

n is 1 i.e in one year's time

total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21

discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238

present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

(Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.

The Formula are as shown below:-

Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours

Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours

Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate

Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour

Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.

Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer:

The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9

Explanation:

Solution

The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14

The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4

So,

The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18

Thus,

we solve for getting average of the two which is:

Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2

=9

Therefore p =9

Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.
