Powell Plastics, Inc. (PP) currently has zero debt. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $80,000, and it is a zero growth company. PP’s current cost of equity is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $48.00. Assume that PP is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 35% debt and 65% equity. This results in a weighted average cost of capital equal to 9.4% and a new value of operations of $510,638. Assume PP raises $178,723 in new debt and purchases T-bills to hold until it makes the stock repurchase. PP then sells the T-bills and uses the proceeds to repurchase stock. How many shares remain after the repurchase, and what is the stock price per share immediately after the repurchase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

How many shares remain after the repurchase, and what is the stock price per share immediately after the repurchase?

6,500 stocks remaining at $64.33 each stock

Explanation:

EBIT $80,000

zero growth rate

Cost of equity (Re) 10%

tax rate 40%

10,000 common stocks outstanding at $48

they want to change from 100% equity to 35% debt and 65% equity

WACC = 9.4%

new value of operations $510,638

PP's value of operations = {$80,000 x (1 - 40%)} / WACC = $510,638

the new stock price should = $510,638 / 10,000 stocks = $51.06

Stock price will be $51.06

approximately $178,723 / $51.06 = 3,500 stocks should be repurchased

9.4% = ($480,000/$658,723 x 10%) + ($178,723/$658,723 x cost of debt x (1 - 40%)

9.4% = 7.29% + ($178,723/$658,723 x cost of debt x (1 - 40%)

2.11% = 0.2713 x cost of debt x 0.6

2.11% = 0.1628 x cost of debt

cost of debt = 2.11%/0.1628 = 12.96%

new WACC = ($178,710/$357,433 x 10%) + ($178,723/$357,433 x 12.96% x 0.6) = 5% + 6.48% = 11.48%

PP's value of operations = {$80,000 x 0.6} / 11.48% = $418,118

the new stock price should = $418,118 / 6,500 stocks = $64.33

For a three-year simple payback period, the permissible capital investment is $60,000. What is the internal rate of return on this $60,000 battery pack if it has a residual value of $10,000 at the end of six years

Answers

Answer:

26.14%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $20,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 + $10,000 = $30,000

IRR = 26.14%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Sheridan Company had 171000 shares of common stock and 12000 shares of 7%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outstanding. No dividends were declared on either the preferred or common stock in 2021 or 2020. Net income for 2021 was $442000. For 2021, earnings per common share amounted to (rounded to the nearest penny)

Answers

Answer:

The earnings per common share amounted to $2.53

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Net Income for 2021= $442000

Thus,

The Dividend to be accrued on Preference shares for 2021 = 1200 *7% * 100

= $8400

The Earnings available to common share-holders for 2021 =$442000-$8400

= $433600

The number of common shares outstanding is = 171000 shares

So,

The Basic Earnings per share = 433600/171000

= $2.53

You are a new summer intern working for a major professional services firm. during your lunch break each day, you and a fellow intern, bob, eat at a local sandwich shop. one day, bob’s girlfriend joins you for lunch. when the bill arrives, bob pays with a company credit card and writes the meal off as a business expense. bob and his girlfriend continue to be "treated" to lunch for a number of days. you know bob is well aware of a recent memo that came down from management stating casual lunches are not valid business expenses. when you ask bob about the charges, he replies, "hey, we’re interns. those memos don’t apply to us. we can expense anything we want. does bob really believe that what he is doing is not wrong? does it matter? what are you going to do about it?

Answers

Answer:

1. Bob is aware of what he is doing. He knows it is wrong.

2. It matters.

Explanation:

Bob is committing fraud against the firm. Because he received the memo from the business organization that casual lunches are not business expenses.. Bob acted on purpose as he and his girlfriend who is not an employee are enjoying benefit from the firm by making the meals to be business expenses, when he is aware that they are not. Thus, it can be said that Bob is committing fraud against the business.

2. Yes it matters and as an employee of the business, I'm going to speak to Bob and explain to him that he is going against company policy. And it could constitute as employee embezzlement.

Since the expenses that he is writing off as business expenses is completely invalid. The fraud would be reported to the management because failure to might put me at risk by making me an accomplise to the fraud.

Explain what this means for this product. c) Find the elasticity of demand at price p = $20. d) At p = $20, is the demand elastic, inelastic, o

Answers

Answer:

a) 20

b) elastic

c) 8

d) elastic

Explanation:

Given that q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}[/tex]

a) The elasticity of demand is given as:

Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]

At p =$50, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*50}=-1.65*10^{-7}[/tex]

q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*50}=-4.12*10^{-7}[/tex]

Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-1.65*10^{-7}*\frac{50}{-4.12*10^{-7}}=20[/tex]

b)  At p = $50, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand  is greater than 1 it is elastic. That is the price have a big effect on the quantity

c)  The elasticity of demand is given as:

Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]

At p =$20, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*20}=-0.027}[/tex]

q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*20}=-0.067[/tex]

Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-0.027*\frac{20}{-0.067}=8.0[/tex]

d) At p = $20, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand  is greater than 1 it is elastic

Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 16%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 6%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

17.6%

Explanation:

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

We can calculate the rate of return on the stock by using following formula:-

Expected Provide Rate of Return = Estimate Rate of Return on the Stock + (Expected IP × Stock with a Beta on IP) + (Expected IR × Stock with a Beta on IR)

Before estimate rate of return on the stock

= 16% = α + (4% × 1) + (5% × 0.6)

= 16% = α + (0.04 × 1) + (0.05 × 0.6)

= 0.16 = α + 0.04 + 0.03

= 0.16 - 0.04 - 0.03 = α

α = 0.09 =9%

Rate of return after the changes

= 9% + (5% × 1) + (6% × 0.6)

= 0.09 + 0.05 + 0.036

= 0.176

= 17.6%

According to the analysis, New rate of return on the stock is 17.6%

2. Using the three annual cost formulas that you developed, predict the cost of each resource in a year with 480,000 airplane flight hours.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Airplane depreciation:

High 44,000 $ 18,000,000

Low 28,000 $18,000,000

Fuel:

High 44,000 $445,896,000

Low 28,000 $283,752,000

Airplane maintenance:

High 44,000 $15,792,000

Low 28,000 $11,504,000

Required:

1.

A) Depreciation expense remains constant on both flight hours. Therefore, the depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method. In this method, depreciation is constant.

Depreciation expense= $18,000,000

B) To calculate the fuel cost, we need to use the high low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (445,896,000 - 283,752,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)

Variable cost per unit= $10,134 per hour of flight.

Fuel is a variable cost.

C) We need to calculate the variable and fixed component of maintenance.

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (15,792,000 - 11,504,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)

Variable cost per unit= $268

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 15,792,000 - (268*44,000)

Fixed costs= $4,000,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 11,504,000 - (268*28,000)

Fixed costs= $4,000,000

2. Hours= 480,000

Depreciation= 18,000,000

Fuel= 10,134*480,000= $4,864,320,000

Maintenance= 268*480,000 + 4,000,000= $132,640,000

Total= $5,014,960,000

Considerable research has documented that in many product categories, consumers are unable to distinguish among brands when given blind tests (i.e. taste or use of the products without labels). Such products include cigarettes, beer, liquors, and cosmetics. Nonetheless, even when prices are similar, consumers have strong preferences for specific brands of these products. This strong brand preference is characteristic of:

Answers

Answer:

brand loyalty

Explanation:

Brand loyalty: The term "brand loyalty" is determined as the propensity of specific consumers to "continuously purchase" a particular brand's products over some other brand's products. However, a specific consumer's behavioral patterns are responsible for demonstrating that he or she will continue to purchase products from the same company that has been fostered a "trusting relationship".

In the question above, the given statement represents brand loyalty.

Answer:

Probably brand loyalty

Explanation:

Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's cards is sensitive to price than the supply of roses?

Answers

Answer:

Based on the information supply of cards is more elastic (price sensitive) than that of roses

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply is defined as the sensitivity of quantity supplied to changes in price.

The formula is given below

Price elasticity of supply= Change in quantity supplied ÷ Change in price

In this scenario the demand for both roses and cards increases, however the price of roses increases more.

This implies that the denominator in the formula is higher in roses resulting in smaller price elasticity of supply.

The elasticity of supply for cards is higher than that of roses, so it is more sensitive to changes in price.

Cards can be stored from year to year so the labour for maintaining a stock of cards is low with resultant low price.

On the other hand roses require care to grow. It requires watering, application of chemicals to treat infestation and so on. So suppliers tend to push the extra cost of growing roses to the buyers

Answer:

Yes , Valentine cards are more price sensitive.

Explanation:

When Demand exceeds supply, prices rise. As a result of the increase in price, supply increases.

The increase in supply is in line with the law of supply which says, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

If there's an increase in the demand for roses and cards, it is expected that prices would rise. However, if supply for these items increases, prices would fall and if supply doesn't increase, price would not decrease.

So if the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards it indicates that the supply of rose didn't increase as much as the increase in supply of cards.

This means that the supply of roses is less price sensitive when compared to greeting cards.

2. Beachcomer, a coin dealer, sues to rescind a purchase by Boskett, who paid $50 for a dime both parties thought was minted in San Francisco. In fact, it was a very valuable dime minted in Denver. Beachcomer asserts a mutual mistake of fact regarding the genuineness of the coin as San Francisco-minted. Boskett contends that the mistake was as to value only. Explain who should win.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Beachcomer will withdraw its complaint (university of technology Legal Proceedings) to eliminate the deal, as Boskett acknowledges the poor interest. In actuality, Beachcomer claims that there is a consensual error in trying to measure the dime significance. Sue to revoke was the method used mostly by Beachcomer could assert the quality of Dime.As well as, if Beachcomer brings the suit back but rather resolves the deal with each other, all of them seem to be in a win-win situation. When Beachcomer decides to withdraw and Boskett can pay for its true worth, therefore Boskett will win, because the deal has indeed actually occurred.

So that the above seems to be the right answer.

A business owner makes 1000 items a day. Each day she spends 8 hours producing those items. If hired, elsewhere she could have earned $250 an hour. The item sells for $15 each. Production occurs seven days a week. If the explicit costs total $150,000 per month, what is her economic profit

Answers

Answer:

Economic profit= $214,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Business:

Units= 28,000 a month

Hours= 224 hours

Total cost= 150,000 a month

Selling price per unit= $15

Other work:

Income= $250 an hour

Economic profit includes the opportunity cost.

Economic profit= 28,000*15 - 150,000 - 250*224

Economic profit= $214,000

You are reviewing the accounting records of Cathy's Antiques, Inc. owned by Cathy Miller. You have uncovered the following situations. Compose a memo to Ms. Miller that cites the appropriate accounting principle and the suggested action for each separate situation.

4. Joseph Clark paid $1,500 for a dining table. The amount was recorded as revenue. The table will be delivered to Mr. Clark in six weeks.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The accounting principles and the suggestions are shown below:

a. Business Entity Concept:

In this given situation, the amount of $500 should be refunded to the business or it can be recognized as the withdrawal amount by Cathy Miller. The suggestion is that She should use a personal check for paying daycare in the future for her son

b. Going Concern Concept:

Since the business is closed for month-long vacation in the month of June. As Cathy's Antiques is not closing the business for permanent. As she plans for reopening on July 1. The suggestion is that she should hold an inventory decline sale or for other relevant sales.

c.  Monetary Unit Concept:

The invoice should be restated in the united states for the purpose of accounting

d. Revenue Recognition Concept:

The revenue should be recognized when it is realized or earned. As the table is not delivered so the revenue should not be recognized.

The amount of $1,500 should be recorded for an account like deposits received from the customers until the delivering of the table is not done

You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 60% and 40%, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 14%, and Y has an expected rate of return of 10%. If you decide to hold 25% of your complete portfolio in the risky portfolio and 75% in the Treasury bills, then the dollar values of your positions in X and Y, respectively, would be __________ and _________.

Answers

Answer:

For X $150

For Y $100

Explanation:

The computation of optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio is shown below:-

Risk portfolio = Complete portfolio × Weight of risky portfolio

= $1,000 × 25%

= $250

So, Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio will be

For X in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of X

= $250 × 60%

= $150

For Y in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of Y

= $250 × 40%

= $100

Therefore for computing the Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio we simply multiply the risk portfolio with optimal percentage of X and in the similar way of Y.

A German worker takes 400 hours to produce a car and 2 hours to produce a case of wine. A French worker takes 600 hours to produce a car and X hours to produce a case of wine. For what values of X will gains from trade be possible

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Given that

Number of hours taken to produced a car by German worker is 400 hours

In case of wine he takes 2 hours

And, the Number of hours taken to produced a car by French worker is 600 hours

In case of wine he takes X hours

Based on the above information, the values of X gains from trade is based on the opportunity cost so in this there is a competitive advantage occurs so in this case the values should be other than 3 as 600 hours ÷ hours = 300 hours

Hence, the values should be other than 3

Suppose that the total benefit to any one person (all people are identical) of a fireworks display is , where g is the dollar amount of fireworks(thus the marginal cost of $1 worth of fireworks is $1). Also suppose that each person in a town pays an equal share of the cost of the display. Does adding more people to the town make each person better off(in terms of net benefits derived from fireworks displays)? If so, by exactly how much?

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

As g is a constant, the addition of more people to the town will decrease per person cost of firework display. Therefore, adding more people to the town will make each person better off.

The net benefit is also equal to the total benefit each person gets (2√g) minus cost of per person of the firework display which is (g/h), where h is the number of people that are in the town.

Net benefits =2√g-(g/h)

Therefore, as h increases, "g/h" decreases and net benefits will increase.

If we then derivative net benefits with its respect to h ,we then get how much the net benefit will change.

∆net benefits/∆h=+g/h²
