The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
Answer:
The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200
Explanation:
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
EPS = Earnings per share
I = interest
n = number of equity shares
n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2
n1=30,000
n2= 15,000
Break-even EBIT level is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.
Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is: EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2
EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)
EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600
2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT
2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200
EBIT= $47,200

Which of the following statements is FALSE? A. Investments with higher volatility have rewarded investors with higher average returns. B. Volatility seems to be a reasonable measure of risk when evaluating returns on large portfolios and the returns of individual securities. C. Riskier investments must offer investors higher average returns to compensate them for the extra risk they are taking on. D. Investments with higher volatility should have a higher risk premium and, therefore, higher returns.
Answer: B. Volatility seems to be a reasonable measure of risk when evaluating returns on large portfolios and the returns of individual securities.
Explanation: Over time, investment with high degree of volatility, which refers to the rapid unpredictability associated with the price or value of an investment seems to have ditched out higher returns and risk premium on those investment to investors in other to reward them for making such unpredictable investment. This said, the risk associated with an investment plays a huge factor in determining the average return issued to investors as higher risk investment attracts higher returns. However, when evaluating large portfolios and return of individual securities, volatility such not be used as a reasonable determinant of the risk associated with such investment as the large portfolios and individual securities are usually prone to unpredictability which should not be translated to the probability that such investment will result in loss of capital.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the CPI stood at 215.9 in December 2009, while one year earlier it was 210.2. Suppose Janice's nominal income rose by 4% from December 2008 to December 2009 while Jeff's increased by only 2%. By what percentage did each of their real incomes change?
Answer:
Annual rate of inflation = [(215.9 - 210.2) / 210.2] * 100
Annual rate of inflation = 2.7%
Real income change = Nominal income change - inflation rate
Janice Real income change = 4% – 2.7%
Janice Real income change = 1.3%
This means Janice's real income did increase by 1.3%.
Jeff Real income change = 2% – 2.7%
Jeff Real income change = -0.7%
This means Jeff's real income did decrease by 0.7%.
Throughout the entire semester, you were trained to relate expenses to the revenues generated in the same accounting period. Differently put, the Income Statement must show the revenues and relevant expenses that took place in the same period. Which principle is related to this practice

Martin and Sons (M and S) currently is an all equity firm with 64,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $25 a share. The company's earnings before interest and taxes are $86,000. M and S has decided to add leverage to their financial operations by issuing $480,000 of debt with a 7% percent interest rate. This $480,000 will be used to repurchase shares of stock. You own 2,700 shares of M and S stock. You also loan out funds at a 7% percent rate of interest. How many of your shares of stock in M and S must you sell to offset the leverage that the firm is assuming
Answer:
810 stocks
Explanation:
M and S can repurchase $480,000 / $25 = 19,200 stocks
the number of shares that you need to sell to offset the firm's leverage = total amount of stocks that you own x (total stocks repurchased / total stocks outstanding before buyback) = 2,700 x (19,200 / 64,000) = 2,700 x 0.3 = 810 stocks
Since your goal is to offset the firm's new leverage, you have to sell a proportional amount of your stocks compared to the whole repurchase transaction.

a. Actual overhead costs below applied overhead costs
b. Actual production units below budgeted production unit
c. Standard direct labor hours below actual direct labor hours
d. The standard variable overhead rate below the actual variable overhead rate
Answer: c. Standard direct labor hours below actual direct labor hours
Explanation: The variable overhead efficiency variance can obtained by multiplying the difference between the actual and Budgeted labour hours by the hourly rate for standard variable overhead.

The variable overhead efficiency variance will be favorable if the actual labor hours is less than the budgeted hours while it will be unfavorable if the actual labor hours exceed the budgeted labor hours as described in the scenario above.

Answer:
This project is good and be should be accepted for implementation.
Explanation:
The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero
If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation

Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000 per quarter
Explanation:
we must allocate both property taxes and annual repairs expenses equally to each quarter:
total payments = property taxes + annual repairs = $240,000 + $1,200,000 = $1,440,000
allocation to each quarter = $1,440,000 / 4 quarters = $360,000 per quarter
Accrual accounting states that expenses must be recorded when they occur and not necessarily when they are associated with a cash outflow. Since both payments involve the whole year, they must be distributed equally in all 4 quarters.

If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply _____, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply _____.
Answer:
John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply WILL NOT CHANGE, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply WILL INCREASE.
Explanation:
Any monetary injection to the banking system will increase the money supply only if the banking system (the whole set of banks) lends the money. The total effect is calculated by the increase in money x the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / required reserves.
If the bank does not lend the money, then the money supply will not change.
