The Quick Buck Company is an all-equity firm that has been in existence for the past three years. Company management expects that the company will last for two more years and then be dissolved. The firm will generate cash flows of $450,000 next year and $790,000 in two years, including the proceeeds from the liquidation. There are 20,000 shares of stock outstanding and shareholders require a return of 12 percent.

Required:
What is the current price per share of the stock?

Answers

Answer:

$53.09

Explanation:

Calculation to determine current price per share of the stock

First step is to determine the Dividend per share in Year 1

Using this formula

Dividend per share in Year 1 = Cash flow generated next year / Number of shares

Let plug in the formula

Dividend per share in Year 1 == $450,000 / 20,000

Dividend per share in Year 1 == $ 22.5

Second step is to determine the Dividend per share in Year 2 using this formula

Dividend per share in Year 2 = Cash flow generated in two years / Number of shares

Let plug in the formula

Dividend per share in Year 2 = $790,000 / 20,000

Dividend per share in Year 2 = $39.5

Dividend per share in Year 2 =$40 Approximately

Now let determine the Share price today using this formula

Share price today = [ Dividend in Year 1 / (1 + Required rate of return) ] + [ Dividend in Year 2 / (1 + Required rate of return)2 ]

Let plug in the formula

Share price today = [22.5 /(1+.12)]+ (40 / 1.12^2

Share price today = (22.5 /1.12) + (40 / 1.12^2)

Share price today =$20.09+(40/1.25)

Share price today =$20.09+32

Share price today = $ 53.09

Therefore current price per share of the stock

Is $53.09

Ted's Co. offers a zero coupon bond with an 11.3% yield to maturity. The bond matures in 16 years. What is the current price of a $1,000 face value bond

Answers

Answer:

Zero-cupon bond= $835.45

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Face value= $1,000

YTM= 11.3%

Years to maturity= 16 years

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]

Zero-cupon bond= 1,000 / (1.113^16)

Zero-cupon bond= $835.45

Hau Lee Furniture, Inc., spends 50% of its sales dollars in the supply chain and finds its current profit of $21,000 inadequate. The bank is insisting on an improved profit picture prior to approval of a loan for some new equipment. Hau would like to improve the profit line to $26,000 so he can obtain the bank's approval for the loan. What percentage improvement is needed in the supply chain strategy for profit to improve to $26000

Answers

Answer: 7.1%

Explanation:

The cost of materials needs to reduce for the profit to increase. If the profit is to go from $21,000 to $26,000, the material cost would need to decrease by:

= 26,000 - 21,000

= $5,000

The current material cost is $70,000 so a decrease of $5,000 in percentage terms would be:

= 5,000 / 70,000 * 100%

= 7.1%

The new material cost would be:

= 70,000 - 5,000

= $65,000

Mark Company acquired Jackson Company for $2,000,000 cash. At that time, the fair value of recorded assets and liabilities was $1,500,000 and $250,000, respectively. Jackson also had unrecorded copyrights valued at $100,000 and its direct costs related to the acquisition were $50,000. What was the amount of the goodwill related to the acquisition?​

Answers

Answer: $600,000

Explanation:

The amount of the goodwill related to the acquisition will be calculated thus:

Acquisition price = $2,000,000

The net assets will be:

= Assets + Copyrights - Liabilities

= $1,500,000 + $150,000 - $250,000

= 1,400,000

Goodwill will then be calculated as:

= acquisition price - net assets

= $2000000 - $1400000

= $600,000

Andy is driving a 20-year-old boat that he borrowed from a friend. While he's on the water, the steering system fails and the boat crashes. Subsequent investigation shows that the steering system failed as a result of corrosion. Andy sues the boat manufacturer for negligence. How strong is his negligence case against the product manufacturer

Answers

Answer:

Weak.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the case is weak because Andy cannot sue the manufacturer company for negligence.

it is because Andy is driving a 20-year-old boat. So, Andy cannot prove that the corrosion was due to manufacturing defect. The possibility of corrosion must be the wearing or tearing away of the boat.

Normally, material corrodes if not taken care of properly or due to a long lifespan.

Therefore, the case of Andy against the product manufacturer is weak.

Assume US GAAP to answer this question. In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid. In 2018, $8 million in wages were earned and $9 million in cash wages were paid. Cash wages were used to first pay wages earned in 2017 with the remainder used to pay wages earned in 2018. Any earned but unpaid wages will be paid during the first quarter of 2019. Using only the information provided, which of the following statements is most accurate?

a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018
b. Liabilities increased by $3.0 million in 2018
c. Assets decreased by $5.0 million in 2018
d. Retained earnings decreased by $10.0 million in 2018
e. Retained earnings decreased by $7.0 million in 2018

Answers

Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.

The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:

= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000

= -$1,000,000

This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.

This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.

b. can assert this failure to delay the litigation, but it is not a defense.
c. can raise the failure to notify as a defense in copyright holder’s suit.
d. can sue the lessor to recover the expenses of the suit.

Answers

Answer:

a. loses any remedy against the lessor for liability established in the suit.

Explanation:

This is because it was lessee's responsibility to inform the lessor in time.

A lessee is in contract with the lessor and is responsible for all the actions taken on behalf of the lessor with the lessor's permission.

If the lessee fails to inform the lessor in time or do any action without his permission then the lessor can sue the lessee or take any other legal action as may be required by the law against the lessee.

In breach of contract the lessee has to face the consequences and pay penalty.

Choice a is the best option.

The lessee can never sue the lessor for his illegal actions.

So option d is incorrect.

b) Delaying the litigation would do no good. It would add to his failures.

Choice c is also incorrect.

d. If the company increases advertising by $41,200, sales in packages will increase by 15 percent. What will be the new break-even point? The new degree of operating leverage?

Answers

Answer:

a = 12%

b = 4.82%

c = 248%

d = 4.78%

Explanation:

Calculating Break even point

Fixed cost / Sales price per unit - variable cost per unit = break even point

$569,880 / {$7.20-$4.32}

=$569,880 / $2.88

=$197,875 is the break even point.

a.

Margin of Safety

225,000 packages - $197,875 / 225,000 packages * 100

=12%

b.

Income is computed

Sales $1,620,000  {225,000 * $7.2}

Less: COGS $972,000 {225,000 * $4.32}

Less : Fixed Costs $569,880

Income = $78,120

Operating leverage is % change in Income / % change in sales

$78,120 / $1,620,000 * 100

= 4.82%

c. If sales increase by 30%

Sales $2,106,000  {225,000 * $7.2 * 130%}

Less: COGS $1,263,600 {225,000 * $4.32 * 130%}

Less : Fixed Costs $569,880

Income = $272,520

Increase in Income = $272,520 - $78,120 / $78,120 * 100

= 248%

d. Calculating Break even point

Fixed cost / Sales price per unit - variable cost per unit = break even point

$569,880 + $41,200 / {$7.20-$4.32}

= $212,180.56

Operating leverage is % change in Income / % change in sales

Calculating increase in income

Sales $1,863,000  {225,000 * $7.2 * 115%}

Less: COGS $1,117,800 {225,000 * $4.32 * 115%}

Less : Fixed Costs $611,080 {$569,880 + 41,200}

Income = $134,120

Increase in Income = $134,120 - $78,120 / $78,120 * 100

=71.68%

Operating leverage is % change in Income / % change in sales

71.68% / 15%

= 4.78%

Samuel is the managing general partner of STU, in which he owns a 25% interest. For the year, STU reported ordinary income of $400,000 (after deducting all guaranteed payments). In addition, the LLC reported interest income of $12,000. Samuel received a guaranteed payment of $120,000 for services he performed for STU. How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU

Answers

Answer:

$220,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU

Using this formula

Income from self-employment =Guaranteed payment received+(Interest rate*Ordinary income)

Let plug in the formula

Income from self-employment=$120,000+(25%*$400,000)

Income from self-employment=$120,000+$100,000

Income from self-employment=$220,000

Therefore the amount of income from self-employment that Samuel earn from STU is $220,000

stock y has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.35. what is the risk free rate if the market return is 12.5%

Answers

Answer:

the risk free rate of return is 4.8%

Explanation:

The computation of the risk free rate of return is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

Here we assume the risk free rate of return be x

So ,

16.35% = x + 1.5 × (12.5% - x)

16.35% =  x + 18.75% - 1.5x

16.35% - 18.75% = -0.5x

x = 4.8%

Hence, the risk free rate of return is 4.8%

that its before-tax cost of debt is 9.0%. Its cost of preferred stock is 13.0%. Its cost of internal equity is 17.0%, and its cost of external equity is 22.0%. Currently, the firm's capital structure has $310 million of debt, $60 million of preferred stock, and $130 million of common equity. The firm's marginal tax rate is 45%. The firm is currently making projections for the next period. Its managers have determined that the firm should have $97 million available from retained earnings for investment purposes next period. What is the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million

Answers

Answer:

9.05%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million

Capital Budget = $269 million

To be financed through Equity = 269 million*130/(310+60+130)

To be financed through Equity = 269 million*130/500

To be financed through Equity = 69.9 million

Available from retained earnings = $97 million

Hence, No external equity will be required

Now let calculate the the firm's marginal cost of capital using this formula

WACC = Cost of debt*Weight of Debt + Cost of Preferred Stock*Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Equity*Weight of Equity

Let plug in the formula

WACC= 9%(1-45%)*310/500 + 13%*60/500 + 22%*130/500

WACC= 9%(55%)*310/500 + 13%*60/500 + 17%*130/500

WACC=.03069+.0156+.0442

WACC=0.09049*100

WACC=9.049%

WACC=9.05%(Appropriately)

Therefore the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million is 9.05%
