Bell Hill Mfg. is considering a rights offer. The company has determined that the ex-rights price would be $78. The current price is $100 per share, and there are 25 million shares outstanding. The rights offer would raise a total of $50 million. What is the subscription price?

Answers

Answer:

6.5

Explanation:

We can calculate Ex-Rights using following formula:

Ex-Rights = (Current Shares * Shares outstanding + Amount Raised) / (Current Shares + Amount Raised / Subscription Price)

Here

Market Value is $100

Shares Outstanding are 25 million

Amount Raised is $50 million

Ex-Rights price is $78

By putting values, we have:

$78 = (($100 * 25m) + $50m) / (25m + (50m/Subscription price))

$78 = ($2550) / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))

$78 / ($2550m)    =  1 / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))

0.0000030588 = 1 / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))

Taking reciprocal, we have:

1 / 0.0000030588 =  (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))

$32.6923m  = $25m + $50m / Subscription Price

$32.6923m  - $25m  = $50m / Subscription Price

$7.6923m = $50m / Subscription Price

$7.6923m / $50m  = 1 / Subscription Price

0.153846 = 1 / Subscription Price

Taking Reciprocal, we have:

Subscription Price = 6.5

Ink Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 25 percent debt and 75 percent common equity financing. The company has $800 million in net income and plans to pay out 40 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock?

Answers

Answer:

$640 million

Explanation:

The computation of maximum amount of new financing is shown below:-

New financing from equity = $800 million × (1 - 40%)

= $480 million

New financing from debt = $480 million ÷ 75% × 25%

= $160 million

Now the maximum amount of new financing is

= $480 million + $160 million

= $640 million

Hence, the maximum amount of new financing is $640 million

At a decision point in a decision tree, which machine would you select when trying to maximize payoff when the anticipated benefit of selecting machine A is $45,000 with a probability of 90%; the expected benefit of selecting machine B is $80,000 with a probability of 50% and the expected benefit of selecting machine C is $60,000 with a probability of 75%

Answers

Answer:

Machine to select for maximum payoff:

Expected Outcomes:

A = $45,000 x 90% = $40,500

B = $80,000 x 50% = $40,000

C = $60,000 x 75 % = $45,000

C has the highest expected outcome of $45,000

Choose C.

Explanation:

Anticipated benefits:

A = $45,000 with pr = 90%

B = $80,000 with pr = 50%

C = $60,000 with pr = 75%

The expected benefit or outcome Machine A is obtained by multiplying the anticipated benefit with its probability of occurrence.  This gives a value that has been weighed.  The decision rule is to choose the machine with the highest outcome.

Answers

Answer: $4950

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.

There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:

= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12

= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12

= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5

How much will Eversafe pay if a $1,600,000 building insured by Delta suffers an 40 precent loss? 1. A) $600,000 2. B) $700,000 3. C) $720,000 4. D) $800,000

Answers

Answer:

Delta is responsible for insuring $200,000 / $1,600,000 = 1/8 of the building

Eversafe is responsible for 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Delta will pay 1/8 x $640,000 = $80,000

Eversafe will pay $640,000 - $80,000 = $560,000

in order for Eversafe to pay:

A production department’s beginning inventory cost includes $478,000 of conversion costs. This department incurs an additional $1,047,500 in conversion costs in the month of March. Equivalent units of production for conversion total 770,000 for March.Required:Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion using the weighted-average method.

Answers

Answer: $1.98

Explanation:

Equivalent Units of Production are used when the manufacturers have not completely finished their products for the year. This helps them express it in terms of fully manufactured units.

Using the weighted average method, the cost per equivalent unit is;

= [tex]\frac{Beginning inventory cost + Cost of current production}{Equivalent units of production}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{478,000 + 1,047,500}{770,000}[/tex]

= $1.98

The standard quantity allowed for the units produced was 4000 pounds, the standard price was $2.50 per pound, and the materials quantity variance was $350 favorable. Each unit uses 1 pound of materials. How many units were actually produced

Answers

Answer:

Unites actually produced = 4,000 units

Explanation:

Material quantity variance occurs when the actual quantity used to achieved a given level of output is more or less than the standard quantity.  

It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price  

Material quantity variance in unit =  Materials quantity variance  in value /standard price

Material quantity variance in unit = 350/2.50 =140  pounds

Actual quantity used (in pounds)  = standard quantity allowed - Material quantity variance

                              = 4000  - 140 = 3,860 pounds

Actual units produced = Standard quantity allowed/ standard quantity  per unit

                                      = 4,000/1 = 4000 units

Unites actually produced = 4,000 units

Consider a firm Theta that spends $60 to produce goods in year 1. In year 2 it sells these goods for $100, but its customers pay their bills with a delay, therefore the payment is not received until year 3. What's the amount of net income recorded on the income statement for each year?

Answers

Answer:

Theta

Amount of net income for each year:

Year 1 = $0

Year 2 = $40 ($100 - $60)

Year 3 = $0

Explanation:

The net income to be recorded in Theta's income statement depends on the period in which revenue is recorded.  In year 1, Theta would accumulated Ending Inventory of $60 being the cost of its finished goods inventory.  Since it has not made any sales, there is no net income to record, which is always the difference between revenue and cost of goods or services sold.  In year 2, the actual sales revenue was made and recorded in the accounts.  This is the period for Theta to calculate its profit against the cost of goods sold.  In year 3 when cash payment was received from customers, the accounts of Theta would record the receipt only in settlement of the customer debt.  This transaction does not affect the revenue or the cost of goods sold, two important elements for determining the profit made.

Answers

Answer:

$14.87

Explanation:

Computation the imputed interest income for the first year of the bond

First step

Using this formula

Imputed interest income= Par value/(1+yield to maturity)^Numbers of years

Let plug in the formula

Imputed interest income$1,000/(1.10)^20

Imputed interest income= $1,000/6.72749

Imputed interest income=$148.64

Second step

Imputed interest income=$1,000/(1.10)^19= Imputed interest income=$1,000/6.11590

Imputed interest income=$163.51

Hence,

Imputed interest income=$163.51 - $148.64

Imputed interest income= $14.87

Therefore the imputed interest income for the first year of the bond will be $14.87

A company has reported operating income of $25,000,000. The bond interest expense for the year is $4,000,000 and principal payments on bonds totaled $1,000,000. The company's debt service coverage ratio is:

Answers

Answer:

The company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.

Explanation:

The debt service coverage ratio refers to the financial ratio that give a measure of the ability of a company to meet its current debts obligation.

The debt service coverage ratio therefore compares the operating income of the company with the company's total debt service obligations.

The total service obligation includes the current interest, principal repayment, and any other debt obligations.

The formula for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is given as follows:

Debt service coverage ratio = Operating income / Total debt service costs

Form the question, we have:

Operating income = $25,000,000

Total debt service costs = Interest expense + Principal payments on bonds = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,000,000

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

Debt service coverage ratio = $25,000,000 / $5,000,000 = 5

Therefore, the company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.

Since this is greater than 1, this iimplies that operating profits made by the company is more than enough to pay its current debt service costs.

e. Best option to complete the sentence:

If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.

1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills

Explanation:

a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier.  Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence.  An example is "when beginning the meeting."  The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."

b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause.  It requires another clause to make a complete sense.  The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.

c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism.  This can also be called parallel structure or construction.  This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another.  Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism:  "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures."  By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.

A dangling modifier is a phrase or sentence that has no direct connection to the word or words it modifies. The correct options for the dangling modifier are When beginning the meeting and taking the train into Boston, and the correct options for the independent clause are Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours, and When he opened the e-mail message.

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier:  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message.

The term that a dangling modifier usually modifies may not even be present in the phrase.  An illustration might be "when the meeting starts."  The word it modifies can be "we," as in "The fire alarm went off as we were starting the meeting."

A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be used to finish a sentence or make sense on its own.  For it to make sense, another sentence is necessary.  An independent clause is one that can stand alone without the help of another clause and completes a complete sentence.

Often the life of a whistleblower involves tremendous ridicule and scrutiny from others, despite doing the "right thing." Describe your views as to why whistleblowers face tremendous obstacles as a result of bringing the inappropriate actions of otehrs to light.

Answers

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Whistleblowing is the act of raising an alarm over unethical or illegal acts committed by people holding political or public service positions. The whistleblower is most times motivated by the quest to end the injustice or negative impact suffered by the disadvantaged group. Whistleblowers suffer tremendous obstacles from the people they have exposed because;

1. The offender's source of illegal income has been withdrawn. Just like humans fight for survival when their source of livelihood is taken away, so would a person fight against whatever that tends to take away their illegal source of wealth.

2. Fear of being seen in a negative light by others. The person committing a crime usually puts up an act of innocence, thus presenting himself as a morally upright person. When the whistleblower tries to expose their true identity, it is only expected that they would try to shut him up.

The Spaniards, whom they called Castillia, told the people that they had much more power than all their chiefs and a whole lot more power than the witches. The people were very much afraid of them, particularly if they had much more power than the witches. They were so scared that they could do nothing but allow themselves to be made slaves. Whatever the Spaniards wanted done must be done. Any man in power who was in this position the Hopi called To-ta-achi, which means a grouchy person who will not do anything himself, like a child. They couldn't refuse, or they would be slashed to death or punished in some way. There were two To-ta-achi. The missionary did not like the ceremonies.
