Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$29.630

Explanation:

For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital

= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million

=  $375 million

Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)

= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)

= $375 million ÷ 0.045

= $8,333.33 million

Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt

= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million

= $5,333.33 million

Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares

= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million

= $29.630

balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer: $2,420,000‬

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.

Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets

Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities

= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000

= $4,610,000‬

Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000

an investment under consideration has a payback of six years and a cost of 876000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the worst-case NPV?

Answers

Answer:

-43291.14

Explanation:

Npv = net present value

Payback = 6 years

Required return = 12 percent

Cost = 876000

When we talk about last case npv we mean that cash flow has gotten to its last future. The entire cost of 876000 will have to be paid after 6 years and after that future cash flows would exist.

Npv = -876000 +(876000/1.12)⁶

= -876000+443808.86

= = -43291.14

. A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs = 10.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 6.4%. What is the stock's current price

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $18.29

Explanation:

We have many formulas to arriving at the stock price but here we use Gordon growth model.

Formula for getting stock price is:

D1/r - g

Where:

D1 - is the next year dividend or expected dividend to be paid next.

r is the rate of return

g is the growth rate

$0.75/0.105 - 0.064

$0.75/0.041

$18.29.

Therefore, the stock's current price is $18.29

Answers

Answer:

A. Trade margin

Explanation:

The profit obtained from trading operations is known as gross profit or trade margin.This is calculated as sales less costs of goods sold.

The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the gross marketing contribution.

The following information is considered:

When the cost of goods sold is deducted from the sales revenue so the gross marketing contribution should come. Neither it is trade margin, nor net marketing contribution.In other words, the difference is called as gross margin.

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.

= $95,125 - $95,000

= $125

The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.

We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.

= $94,125 - $95,187.50

= -$1,062.50

Therefore, Net profits is;

= $125 - $1,062.50

Complete Question:

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?

Answer:

7.96%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the formula:

WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100%         +          

After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100%            +        

Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%

Here,

Cost of equity is 17%

Cost of preferred stock is 11%

Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost *  (1 - Tax rate)

This implies,

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) =  5.4%

Equity weight is 10% weight in equity

Preferred stock weight is 25%

Debt Weight is 65%

By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:

WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%)      +     11% * (25% / 100%)    +    5.4% * (65% / 100%)

WACC = 1.7%   +   2.75%   +    3.51%

WACC = 7.96%

= $312,000 + $19,800

= $331,800

b. Issued in a stock dividend: Shares issued in the stock dividend are assumed outstanding from the beginning of  the year

= ($312,000 * 12/12) + ($29,700 * 12/12)

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Explanation:

Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model

Using this formula

EOQ= √2DS/H

Where,

D=Annual demand 1,500 units

S=Order costs $22

H=Holding Costs $80 per unit

Let plug in the formula

EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80

EOQ=√66,000/$80

EOQ=√825

EOQ=28.72 units

Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.

Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:

c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.

Explanation:

Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.

Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections.  The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise.  The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash.  While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.

The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

The equipment cost Princess Corporation $3,600,000. The present value of the lease payments is $3,961,183. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease

Answers

Answer:

$293,980.13

Explanation:

Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease

First Step is to find the interest for year 2021

Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183

Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)

=$3,286,183

Hence,

2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%

2021 Interest = $328,618.3

Second Step

Second Payment $675,000

Less Interest (328,618.3)

Reduced balance $346,381.7

Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease

2021 $3,286,183

Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)

January 1 2022 Liability = $2,939,801.3× 10%

2022 Interest Revenue =$293,980.13

Therefore the amount of interest revenue that Princess will record in 2022 on the lease will be $293,980.13

Answers

Answer: client's age

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a 70-year old client wants to invest in U.S. Treasury securities and that when performing the suitability determination, the client informs the registered representative that he is looking for after-tax income, liquidity, and to avoid market risk.

The client's age should be the least the registered representative should be concerned about. Rather, the representative should be concerned with the coupon of the recommended treasury securities and the tax bracket of the client for tax purposes.

If United Airlines acted as a "price leader" and all other airlines simply charged the same prices

that United Airlines charged, then could this action be illegal because it is a form of "silent collusion?"

A. There is no such term in microeconomics known as "tacit" or "silent collusion."

B. Matching the prices of the price leader firm is a good example of a competitive market.

C. The U.S. Anti-Trust Department has always considered this business behavior as suspicious

and it does consider this pricing strategy to be illegal.

D. The famous 1982 anti-monopoly IBM court case said that this pricing strategy within an

industry is legal as long as the firms fill out quarterly reports to keep the U.S. Anti-Trust

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The airline industry is an example of an oligopoly

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by :

price setting firms

product differentiation

profit maximisation

high barriers to entry or exit of firms

downward sloping demand curve

the action taken by the other airlines is known as tacit collusion.

Tacit collusion is when other companies adopt the price of the price leader

Tacit collusion is not illegal while the explicit collision is illegal.

Rent expense of $3,000 is allocated to Department A and Department B based on square footage. Department A has 5,000 square feet and Department B has 2,500 square feet.

The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______

Answers

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B

Using this formula

Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot

Let plug in the formula

Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500

Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500

Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500

Expense allocated to department B= $1,000

Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year

Answers

Answer:

the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.

Explanation:

First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :

PV = - $946.02

Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51

P/yr = 1

FV = $979.58

n = 1

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.

Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1

                   =  (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1

                   = 0.0618 or 6.18 %
