If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of .90. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .60. The expected return on the market portfolio is 11 percent and Treasury bills currently yield 3.3 percent. The company has one bond issue outstanding that matures in 26 years, a par value of $2,000, and a coupon rate of 6 percent. The bond currently sells for $2,130. The corporate tax rate is 24 percent.
a. What is the company’s cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c. What is the company’s weighted average cost of capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. Cost of debt = 4.56%
b. Cost of equity = 10.23%
c. WACC = 8.46%
Explanation:
a. What is the company’s cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate ) = 6% * (100% - 24%) = 4.56%
b. What is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + (Beta * (Market rate - Risk free rate)) = 3.3% + (0.90 * (11% - 3.3%)) = 10.23%
c. What is the company’s weighted average cost of capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
WACC = (Cost of debt * Debt to total assets ratio) + (Cost of equity * Equity to total assets ratio) ………… (1)
Equity = Total assets - Debt
Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = 0.60
0.60 = Debt / (Total assets - Debt)
0.60 * (Total assets - Debt) = Debt
0.60Total assets - 0.60Debt = Debt
0.60Total assets = Debt + 0.60Debt
0.60Total assets = (1 + 0.60)Debt
0.60Total assets = 1.60Debt
Debt / Total assets = 0.50 / 1.60 = 0.3125
Equity to total assets ratio = 1 - Debt to total assets = 1 - 0.3125 = 0.6875
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
WACC = (4.56% * 0.3125) + (10.23%* 0.6875) = 8.46%

Evan is single and has AGI of $277,300 in 2020. His potential itemized deductions before any limitations for the year total $52,300 and consist of the following: Medical expenses (before the AGI limitation) $29,000 Interest on home mortgage 8,700 State income taxes 9,500 Real estate taxes 3,600 Charitable contributions 2,500 After all necessary adjustments are made, what is the amount of itemized deductions Evan may claim
Answer:
$24,402.50
Explanation:
Medical expenses can be deducted only if they are above 7.5% of your AGI:
$277,300 x 7.5% = $20,797.50
Medical deductions = $29,000 - $20,797.50 = $8,202.50
Evan can deduct $8,700 in mortgage interests
Total deductions for state and local taxes for a single filer = $5,000
Charitable contributions are also deductible = $2,500
total deductions = $8,202.50 + $8,700 + $5,000 + $2,500 = $24,402.50
If foreign manufacturers cut manufacturing costs and profit margins in response to a depreciation in the U.S. dollar, the effect of these actions is to a. lengthen the amount of time in which the depreciation leads to a smaller trade deficit. b. shorten the amount of time in which the depreciation leads to a smaller trade surplus. c. shorten the amount of time in which the depreciation leads to a smaller trade deficit. d. lengthen the amount of time in which the depreciation leads to a smaller trade surplus.
Answer:
a. lengthen the amount of time in which the depreciation leads to a smaller trade deficit.
Explanation:
Depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) can be defined as a depreciation system that avails business owners or companies the ability and opportunity to recover or recoup the cost basis of physical assets that have experienced deterioration over a specific period of time.
In the United States of America, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is used mainly for tax purposes because it gives room for faster depreciation of a physical asset in its first years or initial usage and reduces depreciation as it is being used over a long period of time.
Hence, if foreign manufacturers cut or reduce their manufacturing costs and profit margins in response to a depreciation in the U.S. dollar, the effect of these actions is certainly to lengthen or increase the amount of time in which the depreciation in the U.S dollars leads to a smaller trade deficit.
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected value.
In Financial accounting, deficit is usually as a result of revenue falling below expenses or expense exceeding revenue at a specific period of time.
For instance, if in a country liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account of the country. This is simply as a result of a country having to import more goods and services than it is exporting to other countries in trade.
In conclusion, a trade deficit is caused because the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.

Firms HL and LL are identical except for their financial leverage ratios and the interest rates they pay on debt. Each has $23 million in invested capital, has $3.45 million of EBIT, and is in the 25% federal-plus-state tax bracket. Firm HL, however, has a debt-to-capital ratio of 50% and pays 12% interest on its debt, whereas LL has a 30% debt-to-capital ratio and pays only 10% interest on its debt. Neither firm uses preferred stock in its capital structure. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
ROIC for firm HL = 11.25%
ROIC for firm LL = 11.25%
Explanation:
Given:
EBIT = $3,450,000
Tax rate = 25%
Invested capital = $23,000,000
Note that the information above is the same for both firms HL and LL. This implies that their ROIC will be the same as calculated below:
ROIC = (EBIT * (100% - Tax rate)) / Invested capital ……………………. (1)
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
ROIC = ($3,450,000 * (100% - 25%)) / $23,000,000 = 0.1125, or 11.25%
Therefore, we have:
ROIC for firm HL = 11.25%
ROIC for firm LL = 11.25%

Explanation:
Ridley is an officer of Sun Watts, Inc. Ridley knows that a Sun Watts engineer recently developed a new, inexpensive method for collecting, storing, and converting solar power into fuel. Ridley takes advantage of this information to buy Sun Watts stock from Taylor and, after the discovery is announced publicly, to sell the stock to Ulrich at a profit. Taylor claims that this is a violation of federal law. Is Taylor correct
Answer:
Yes, Taylor is correct
Explanation:
In the case above between Taylor and Ridley, it a a clear violation of the federal law . This is due to the fact that Ridley bought the stocks of Sun Watts, Inc. from Taylor as a result of the insider information he has gotten and the public are not aware of it or or have no access to the information beforehand.
Ridley is in violation of federal law by buying the stock at a lower price.
It is stated in the SEC Act of 1934 both criminal and civil penalties. criminal guilty of the above can be fined about $5 million and up to 20 years in prison. Ridley can give a penalty amost to as much as triple the profits gotten or the loss avoided by the guilty party.
Swifty Corporation estimates its sales at 190000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 11000 units each quarter over the year. They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods. Each unit sells for $25. 40% of the sales are for cash. 70% of the credit customers pay within the quarter. The remainder is received in the quarter following sale. Cash collections for the third quarter are budgeted at
Answer:
$5,250,500
Explanation:
Budgeted cash collection for third quarter = Cash sales + Collection of credit sale of 3rd quarter + Collection of credit sale of 2nd quarter
Budgeted cash collection for third quarter = [(190,000+22,000)*$25*40%] + (212,000*$25*60%*70%) + (201,000*$25*60%*30%)
Budgeted cash collection for third quarter = $2,120,000 + $2,226,000 + $904,500
Budgeted cash collection for third quarter = $5,250,500

Brief Exercise 12-8 Partially correct answer. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Sheffield, Inc., manufactures golf clubs in three models. For the year, the Big Bart line has a net loss of $4,000 from sales $201,000, variable costs $176,000, and fixed costs $29,000. If the Big Bart line is eliminated, $20,100 of fixed costs will remain. Prepare an analysis showing whether the Big Bart line should be eliminated. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer:
The Big Bart line should NOT be eliminated.
Explanation:
The analysis can be prepared as follows:
Sheffield, Inc.
An Analysis showing whether the Big Bart line should be eliminated.
Details Continue Eliminate
$ $
Sales 201,000 0
Variable costs (176,000) 0
Contribution margin 25,000 0
Fixed costs (29,000) (20,100)
Net profit (loss) (4,000) (20,100)
From the analysis above, it can be seen that eliminating the Big Bart line would increase the net loss by $16,100 (i.e. $20,100 - $4,000 = $16,100) from $4,000 to $20,100. Therefore, the Big Bart line should NOT be eliminated.
On December 31, 2016, Krug Company reported pretax income of $300,000 prior to the following adjusting entries: Depreciation expense: $38,000; Accrued sales revenue: $36,000; Accrued expenses: $17,000; Used insurance: $4,000; the insurance was initially recorded as prepaid. Rent revenue earned: $2,000; the rent was initially prepaid by the tenant and credited to unearned rent revenue. How much is Krug's pretax income after the adjusting entries
Answer: $279,000
Explanation:
Accrued revenue and expenses should be accounted for because they have been realized and incurred in the current period.
Used insurance and depreciation should be accounted for as the expenses they are and rent revenue earned should be treated as revenue.
Pretax income after adjustments:
= Pretax income + Accrued sales revenue + rent revenue - Depreciation - Accrued expenses - Insurance
= 300,000 + 36,000 + 2,000 - 38,000 - 17,000 - 4,000
= $279,000
You are an American firm considering opening a factory in France. You believe that your initial costs will be $5 million, and your expected after-tax cash flows will be $350,000/year for 30 years. You estimate an all-equity Beta of .8, that the risk-free rate is 1%, and that the market risk-premium is 7%. You are subject to a 30% tax rate. To the nearest $10, what is your APV
Answer:
An American Firm in France
The APV is:
= $1,251,150
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial cost of investment = $5 million
Expected annual after-tax cash flows = $350,000
Duration of cash flows and investment = 30 years
All-equity Beta = .8 or 80% (.8 * 100)
Risk-free rate = 1%
Market risk-premium = 7%
Market rate = 8% (1% + 8%)
Expected return (after-tax)= .8 * 8% = 6.4%
The present value of the cash flows = $6,251,150
The APV (Adjusted Present Value) = $1,251,150 ($6,251,150 - $5,000,000)
From an online financial calculator:
N (# of periods) 30
I/Y (Interest per year) 6.4
PMT (Periodic after-tax Cash flows) $350,000
Results
PV = $6,251,146.79
Sum of all periodic receipts (after-tax) = $10,500,000.00

Find below the financial statements for Kenning Corp. Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $5,000 Assets $14,800 Debt $11,000 Costs 3,410 Equity 3,800 Net income $1,590 Total $14,800 Total $14,800 Assume no income taxes. Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. No dividends are paid and next year's sales are projected to be $5,970. What is the EFN?
Answer: $972.74
Explanation:
From the information given, the external finance is calculated thus:
Sales growth = ($5970 - $5000) / $5000 × 100 = $970/$5000 × 100 = 19.4%
Then, we calculate the net income which will be:
= Sales - Cost
= $5970 - ($3410 × 1.194)
= $5970 - $4071.54
= $1898.46
Total asset = $14800 × 1.194 = $17671.20
Total equity = $3800 + $1898.46 = $5698.46
External financing needed:
= Total assets - Total equity - Debt
= $17671.20 - $5698.46 - $11,000
= $972.74
Sheffield Corp. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1010000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Date Inventory at Current Prices Current Price Index December 31, 2020 $1287000 106 December 31, 2021 1429000 124 December 31, 2022 1627000 129 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO
Answer: $1226400
Explanation:
The cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO will be calculated as:
= $1010000 + [($1287000/106 × 100) - $1010000] × 106/100
= $1010000 + ($1214151.4 - $1010000) × 1.06
= $1010000 + ($204150.94 × 1.06)
= $1010000 + $216400
= $1226400
Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO is $1226400.
Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. It's current and target capital structure is 20

Answer:
i dont get it, all words are distinguish
Explanation:
Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game?
Answer:
Self-interest can sometimes lead to sub-optimal outcomes.
Explanation:
In the field of economics, Nash equilibrium can be defined as the system which is stable and it involves the interaction of various participants where no participant can gain by the unilateral change in its strategy if the strategies of the others does not change. In order words, the player can obtain the desired outcome by not deviating or changing from their initial strategy.
In the context, as the outcome of cheating is more than staying together, both Sam and Sarah will tend to cheat and then end up achieving less payoff then what they will get if they stay together.
Therefore, sometimes, self interest can lead to the sub optimal outcomes.
the yellow company has a current ratio of 2.65 . The acid test ratio is 2.01 . The current liabilities of the are company $45,000 . Assuming there are no prepaid expenses the dollar amount of merchandise inventoey is
Answer:
Amount of inventory = $28,800
Explanation:
Given:
Current ratio = 2.65
Acid test ratio = 2.01
Current liabilities = $45,000
Prepaid expenses = $0
Find:
Amount of inventory
Computation:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.65 = Current assets / 45,000
Current assets = $119,250
Acid test ratio = [Current assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses] / Current liabilities
2.01 = [119,250 - Inventory - 0] / 45,000
90,450 =119,250 - Inventory
Amount of inventory = $28,800

The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next yearg is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
However, to calculate the Price of the stock today, we must first calculate the required rate of return (r) for the stock. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the expected return on market
We know the risk free rate and expected return on market and we also know that the beta of market is always equal to 1. So, the beta of stock which is 10% more volatile than the market will be,
Beta of stock = 1 * 10% + 1 = 1.1
r = 0.05 + 1.1 * (0.14 - 0.05)
r = 0.149 or 14.9%
The dividend expected for next year will be,
D1 = 4 * 30% = $1.2 per share
Using the DDM,
P0 = 1.2 / (0.149 - 0.08)
P0 = $17.39130 rounded off to $17.39
