Kelso Electric is debating between a leveraged and an unleveraged capital structure. The all equity capital structure would consist of 40,000 shares of stock. The levered capital structure would consist of 25,000 shares of stock plus $280,000 of debt with an interest rate of 7 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$52,267

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options

EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT- ($280,000 ×0.07)]/25,000

EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT - ($19,600)]/25,000

Cross multiply

25,000EBIT=40,000(EBIT-19,600)

25,000EBIT=40,000EBIT-784,000,000

EBIT = $52,267

Therefore the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options is $52,267

One-period pricing. Recall that since stocks have really long lives, in the video we first imagined owning a stock for only one period. In this simple, yet powerful scenario, today's stock price is the PV of next year's dividend and next year's stock price). The stock of Alydar Oil, an all-equity firm, is currently trading at $30 per share, after just having paid a $2.40 per share dividend. The market expects a dividend of $3.10 per share to be paid one year from today. If the equity cost of capital (same as discount rate for equity) is 12% for this firm, the expected ex-dividend price (the stock price after the dividend is paid next year) in one year (t = 1) should be closest to:_____.
a. $31.20.
b. $31.05.
c. $30.50.
d. $33.60.

Answers

Answer:

c. $30.50

Explanation:

As rightly said, the current stock price is the present value of a dividend in one year and the expected price at the end of the year discounted at the equity cost of capital which is 12% in this case

current share price=D1+P1/(1+cost of equity)^n

current share price=$30

D1=$3.10(dividend expected in one year)

P1=unknown(price in one year)

cost of equity=12%

n=investmet time horizon=1 year

$30=$3.10+P1/(1+12%)^1

$30*(1+12%)=$3.10+P1

$33.60=$3.10+P1

P1=$33.60-$3.10

P1=$30.50

Explanation:

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve (demand curve) for that good. If price increases, there is a movement up along the supply curve  and if prices decreases, there is a movement down along the supply curve. This is in line with the law of supply.

according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

Other factors other than changes in the price of the good leads to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :

A change in the number of suppliers

a change in the price of substitute goods

A change in the price of factors used in the production process

government regulation

If price increases, there is a movement down along the demand curve  and if prices decreases, there is a movement up along the demand curve. This is in line with the law of demand.

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

Other factors lead to a shift of the demand curve. they include :

change in taste of the consumerchange in consumer's income season change in the price of substitutes

A. the price of denim halves. there would be a change in the quantity demanded and supplied. quantity demanded increases while quantity supplied decreases

b. An increase in income would lead  to a rightward shift of the demand curve. demand would increase

c.  As a result of new technology, supply would increase. supply curve would shift outward

d. As a result of the rise in price of denim, it because more expensive to make jeans. supply would fall.

e. If jeans goes out of fashion, consumers would no longer buy jeans. the demand would fall

g. if wages fall, it becomes cheaper to make jeans, thus the supply increases

= $2,170,250.

4. In 2022, the depreciation base of this asset is:

= $4,020,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

July 1, 2020: Cost of snowmaking equipment = $6,120,000

Estimated salvage value of the equipment =          255,000

Depreciable amount of the equipment =           $5,865,000

Answer: $100

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that we forgo when another option is chosen thereby leaving out something else. Based on the information given, Ed's opportunity cost of going to the ball will be calculated as the addition of the income that's lost when he takes some time off from his work and the expenses that he incurs on the base ball game. This will be:

= ( 4 × $15) + $25 + $15

= $60 + $40

= $100

The opportunity cost is $100.

g has 25,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding and 12,500 shares of $100 par, 6.00% cumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock outstanding. Dividends have not been paid for the past two years. This year, a $350,000 dividend will be paid. What are the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively

Answers

Answer:

Preferred stock dividend in arrears = (12500 shares * $100 par * 6%) * 2 years

Preferred stock dividend in arrears = $150,000

Dividend paid this year = $350,000.

Dividend paid to Preferred stockholders = $150,000 in arrears + $75,000 current period = $225,000.

Dividend paid to Common Stockholders = $350,000 - $225,000 = $125,000.

Dividend per share of preferred stock = $225,000 / 12500 shares

Dividend per share of preferred stock = $18

Dividend per share of common stock = $125,000 / 25000 shares

Dividend per share of common stock = $5

Identify which statement is a characteristic of long-run for a firm.
A. Time period with at least one fixed element
B. Time period with the least control over constraints
C. Time period of determining quantity and cost that yields the greatest profit
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Answers

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run period of a firm is when the factors of production such as land, labor , capital etc varies. In this period, a firm is flexible in its production decision due to the variability in the factors of production.

In the long run, a firm has time to build a bigger factory hence respond to changes in demand. Also, the price level(general), expectation, and contractual wages , all adjust to the prevailing economic condition in the long run period.

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run is a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. In the long run, firms are able to adjust all costs, whereas in the short run firms are only able to influence prices through adjustments made to production levels.

The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Answers

Answer:

$11,080

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Using this formula

Equipment leased net differential income = Lease amount - Estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment

Let plug in the formula

Equipment leased net differential income= $47,000-$10,000-[$26,000-($26,000*8%)]

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$10,000-($26,000-$2,080)

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$12,000-$23,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$35,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$11,080

Therefore The net differential income from the lease alternative is $11,080

Show all computations."

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Standard cost for 20 units is  

Material (20 units × 3lbs × $2lb) $120

Direct labor (20 units  × 2lbs × $4) $160

Total standard cost $280

Now  

Direct material price variance = (Actual price -Standard price) × Actual quantity

= (2.25-2.00) × 90

=22.5 Unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance = (Actual quantity- Standard quantity) × Standard price  

=(90-20x3) × 2

= $60 unfavorable  

Direct material cost variance =Direct material price variance + Direct material quantity variance

=22.5 UF+$60UF

=82.50UF

Direct labor Rate variance = (Actual rate -Standard rate)  × actual hours  

= (4.10-4.00) × 30 hrs

= $3 Unfavorable  

Actual rate = $123 ÷ 30 hrs

= $4.10

Direct labor Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours ) × Standard rate

=(30-20 × 2) × 4

=$40 favorable  

Direct labor cost variance =Direct labor Rate variance+Direct labor Quantity variance

=$3 unfavorable  + $40 favorable  

=$37 favorable

If this landfill is judged to be a governmental fund, what liability will be reported at the end of the second year on fund financial statements?
a. $0
b. $140,000
c. $260,000
d. $250,000

Answers

Answer:

1- B. Expense will be $140,000 and liability will be $250,000

2- d. $250,000

3- d. $250,000

Explanation:

The expense will be $140,000 which is calculated by year 1 and year 2 percent filled. The calculation is as follows:

Year 2 liability : $1,000,000 * 25% = $250,000

Year 1 liability : $1,000,000 * 11% = $110,000

Year 2 expense = $140,000.

When rival firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of: a. increasing economies of scale. b. slow industry growth. c. an industry with low exit barriers. d. high switching costs.

Answers

Answer:

b. slow industry growth.

Explanation:

Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.

This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

Generally, when rival business firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of slow industry growth.

In conclusion, the various companies or business firms are experiencing a low level of sales of their goods and services. As a result, they engage in activities that would attract potential customers and by extension their competitors' customers.

Charles 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. If Jackson meets specified sales targets, Charles is required to pay an additional $200,000 in cash per the acquisition agreement. Charles estimates the probability of this to be 50%. The direct costs related to the acquisition were $50,000. What was the amount of the goodwill related to the acquisition?​

Answers

Answer:

$950,000

Explanation:

Goodwill is defined as the excess of Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over.

therefore

Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair Value of Net Assets taken over

Note : Acquisition cost is an expense and not included in this calculation.

Since the probability is more likely than not (Probability > or = 50 %) , we include the $200,000 in the Purchase Price

thus,

Goodwill = $2,200,000 - ($1,500,000 - $250,000)

               = $950,000

What are the benefits of division of labor?

The specialisation of duties and responsibilities within a production process is known as the division of labour. It has many advantages, including improved productivity and efficiency. Workers can become more skilled and proficient in their particular role by breaking down a complex task into smaller, more focused tasks, which leads to higher-quality output and quicker production times. Because mass production can reduce costs per unit, the division of labour also makes it easier to achieve economies of scale. Additionally, it enables more latitude in task distribution and workload modification. As workers concentrate on gaining expertise in their area of specialisation, it can also result in more innovation and specialisation. In general, the division of labour has led to significant advancements in modern industrial production.

The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 10%, with interest paid annually, and matures in 3 years. If the bond is priced to yield 12%, what is the bond's value today

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment,  annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.  

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100

Total periods remaining (n) = 3

r or YTM = 12%  

 Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12]  + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

Closing Inventory = 15%* (12,000*2)

Closing Inventory=15%*24,000

Closing Inventory=3600 pounds

No of pounds required to purchase=30,600+3,600

No of pounds required to purchase=34,200

Therefore the amount of pounds of foam that The Porch Cushion Company need to purchase in​ August is 34,200
