Answer:
a. Cost of equity after the refinancing = 22.31%
b. Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = 12.66%
c. Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 4.48
d. Stock price after the refinancing = $51.99
e. Stock’s beta after the refinancing = 2.52
Explanation:
Given:
Beta = 0.70
PE ratio = Price-earnings ratio = 7.90
Ke = Cost of equity = 12.66%
MPS = Market price per share = $52
Debt rate = 3%
Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:
Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000
By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:
Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000
Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780
Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share
Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580
Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800
New number of shares = 500
New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%
b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%
c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48
d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99
e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52
On January 1, 2021, Ellison Company granted Sam Wine, an employee, an option to buy 1,000 shares of Ellison Co. stock for $30 per share, the option exercisable for 5 years from date of grant. Using a fair value option pricing model, total compensation expense is determined to be $6,000. Wine exercised his option on October 1, 2021 and sold his 1,000 shares on December 1, 2021. Quoted market prices of Ellison Co. stock in 2021 were:
July 1 $30 per share
October 1 $36 per share
December 1 $40 per share
The service period is for three years beginning January 1, 2021. As a result of the option granted to Wine, using the fair value method, Ellison should recognize compensation expense for 2021 on its books in the amount of:________
a. $6,000 21
b. $2,000
c. $1,500
d. $0
Answer:
b. $2,000
Explanation:
Using a fair value option pricing model, total compensation expense is determined to be $6,000.
The service period is for three years beginning January 1, 2021.
So, Ellison should recognize compensation expense for 2021 on its books in the amount of:
= $6,000 / 3 years
= $2,000.
As a result of the option granted to Wine, using the fair value method, Ellison should recognize $2,000 as compensation expense.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 28,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,800,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 5 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,150,000 and that variable costs should be $215 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $525,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $320 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $460,000. You require a return of 14 percent and face a tax rate of 25.
Required:
a. What is the percentage change in OCF if the units sold changes to 28,000?
b. What is the DOL at the base-case level of output?
Answer:
a) 0% change
b) 0.393
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage: DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D]/OCF
Machine screws to be supplied = 28,000 tons
Initial investment in threading equipment = $4,800,000
project period = 5 years
annual fixed cost = $1,150,000
variable cost = $215 per ton = 215 * 28,000 = $6,020,000
salvage value of project after dismantling costs = $525,000
selling price of project = $320 per ton = $8,960,000
initial networking capital investment = $460,000
Return = 14%
tax rate = 25% = 0.25
a) Determine the percentage change in OCF if the units sold changes to 28,000
Given : DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D]/OCF
OCF = [(contribution * number of units sold) - fixed costs] * ( 1-tax) + depreciation*tax ----------- ( 1 )
contribution = sales price - variable cost = 320 - 215 = $105
number of units sold = 28,000
depreciation = 4,800,000 / 5 = $960,000
back to equation 1
OCF = [[ ( 105 *28,000) - 1,150,000 ] * ( 1 - 0.25 ) + 960,000 * 0.25 ]
= $1,582,500
Hence the percentage change = 0% ( Initial units to be sold as given in the question = 28,000 as well )
b) Determine the DOL at the base-case level of output
DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D] / OCF
= 1 + [ 1,150,000 * ( 1 - 0.25 ) - 0.25 * 960,000 ] / 1,582,500
= 622501 / 1,582,500 = 0.393

Golden Arch Company uses the periodic inventory system. It has compiled the following information in order to prepare the financial statements at December 31, 2019: Gross sales during 2019 $2,000,000 Sales returns and allowances during 2019 50,000 Beginning inventory, January 1, 2019 100,000 Ending inventory, December 31, 2019 120,000 Purchases during 2019 750,000 Required: Calculate the Cost of goods sold and Gross profit for the company during 2019.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above, cost of goods sold and the gross profit is calculated as;
Cost of goods sold for the company during 2019
= Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory
= Beginning inventory + (Purchases - Purchase return) - Ending inventory
= $100,000 + ($750,000 - $0) - $120,000
= $100,000 + $750,000 - $120,000
= $730,000
Gross profit for the company during 2019
= Net Sales - Cost of goods sold
= (Gross sales - Sales return and allowances) - Cost of goods sold
= ($2,000,000 - $50,000) - $730,000
= $1,950,000 - $730,000
= $1,220,000
A company currently sells products in the United States and is considering expanding to China or Vietnam. Expanding won't impact the company's sales, revenue or profit in the United States. If the company expands to China there is a 20% chance profit over the next 5 years will be $2,000,000, a 30% chance profit will be $1,000,000 and a 50% chance the company will lose $2,000,000. If the company expands to Vietnam, there is a 70% chance profit over the next 5 years will be $1,000,000 and a 30% chance the company will lose $2,500,000. Using a decision tree, what decision should the company make
Answer: Company should not expand to either.
Explanation:
Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:
China:
= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)
= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)
= -$300,000
Vietnam:
= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)
= -$50,000
Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them.

Your coin collection contains fifty 1952 silver dollars. If your grandparents purchased them for their face value when they were new, how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2060, assuming they appreciate at a 5.7% annual rate
Answer:
$19,909.88
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2060,
Future value = Present value x (1 + r )n
Present value = 50
r = 5.7% or 0.057
n = 2060- 1952= 108
Plugging these values in the above mentioned formula, we shall get:
Future value= $ 50 x ( 1 + 0.057 )^108
Future value= $ 50 x ( 1 +.057 )^108
Future value= $19,909.88 Approximately
Therefore how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2060 is $19,909.88

Robert Parish Corporation purchased a new assembly process on August 1, 2017. The cost of this machine was $117,900. The company have a salvage value of $12,900 at the end of its service life. Its life is estimated 21,000 hours. Year-end is December 31. estimated that the machine would at 5 years, and its working hours are estimated at Instructions Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods. Each of the following should be considered unrelated.
(a) Straight-line depreciation for 201:7.
(b) Activity method for 2017, assuming that machine usage was 800 hours.
(c) Sum-of-the-years-digits for 2018.
(d) Double-declining-balance for 2018.
Answer:
8750
4000
$74,060
39,300
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(117,900 - 12,900) / 5 = $21,000
the machine was used for 5 months in 2017. the depreciation expense in 2017 = 5/12 x $21,000 = $8750
b. Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(800 / 21,000) x (117,900 - 12,900) = $4000
c. Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
remaining useful life in 2018 = (4 + 7/12) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10.58
10.58 / 15 x (117,900 - 12,900) = $74,060
Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $19.00 a share. It just paid a dividend of $4.00 a share (i.e., D0 = $4.00). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 3% a year. What stock price is expected 1 year from now? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What is the required rate of return? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The stock price expected one year from now is
= Stock sells per share × (1 + growth rate)
= $19 × (1 + 0.03)
= $19.57
= $20
b. The required rate of return is
= Dividend ÷ current price + growth rate
= ($4 × 1.03) ÷ $19 + 0.03
= 24.68%
The above formulas should be applied to determine each part

An early frost destroys 20% of the coffee bean crop. If the supply and demand for coffee beans are both relatively inelastic, and the frost does not impact the quality of the coffee beans that make it to market.
Required:
What will most likely occur to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee beans?
Answer:
Option C, Price will increase, quantity will decrease
Explanation:
The options for the given question are
(A) Price and quantity will both increase
(B) Price and quantity will both decrease
(C) Price will increase, quantity will decrease
(D) Price will decrease, quantity will increase
(E) Price will not change, quantity will decrease
Solution
Inelastic demand of a product means that the price (high or low) of the product does not affect the demand.
Since the frost destroys the crop, then there are probabilities of variation in the price of coffee (price will rise). Price will be increased to fetch the loss because of frost.
Price will increase and quantity will decrease.
Hence, option C is correct
