Serendipity Inc. is re-evaluating its debt level. Its current capital structure consists of 80% debt and 20% common equity, its beta is 1.60, and its tax rate is 25%. However, the CFO thinks the company has too much debt, and he is considering moving to a capital structure with 40% debt and 60% equity. The risk-free rate is 5.0% and the market risk premium is 6.0%. By how much would the capital structure shift change the firm's cost of equity
Answer:
-6.00%
Explanation:
The computation of the change in the capital structure is as follows;
Current Capital Structure:
Given that
Weight of Debt = 80%
Weight of Equity = 20%
Levered Beta = 1.60
Now
Debt-Equity Ratio = Weight of Debt ÷ Weight of Equity
= 0.80 ÷ 0.20
= 4.00
Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta ÷ [1 + (1 - Tax Rate) × Debt-Equity Ratio]
= 1.60 ÷ [1 + (1 - 0.25) × 4.00]
= 1.60 ÷ 4.00
= 0.40
Now
Cost of Equity = Risk-free Rate + Levered Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 5.00% + 1.60 × 6.00%
= 14.60%
New Capital Structure:
Weight of Debt = 40%
Weight of Equity = 60%
Now
Debt-Equity Ratio = Weight of Debt ÷ Weight of Equity
= 0.40 ÷ 0.60
= 0.6667
Unlevered Beta = 0.40
Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta × [1 + (1 - Tax Rate) × Debt-Equity Ratio]
= 0.40 × [1 + (1 - 0.25) × 0.6667]
= 0.40 × 1.50
= 0.60
Cost of Equity = Risk-free Rate + Levered Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 5.00% + 0.60 × 6.00%
= 8.60%
Now
Change in Cost of Equity = Cost of Equity under New Capital Structure - Cost of Equity under Current Capital Structure
= 8.60% - 14.60%
= -6.00%

For a real interest rate of 12% per year and an inflation rate of 7% per year, the market interest rate per year is closest to:______
a. 4.7%
b. 7%
c. 12%
d. 19.8%
Answer: 19.8%
Explanation:
Interest rate = 12%
Inflation rate = 7%
Market Interest rate will be:
= 12% + 7% + 12%(7%)
= 0.12 + 0.07 + 0.12(0.07)
= 0.12 + 0.07 + 0.0084
= 0.1984
= 19.84%
Therefore, the market interest rate per year is closest to 19.8%
Machinery acquired new on January 1 at a cost of $80,000 was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and a residual salvage value of $20,000. Straight-line depreciation was used. On January 1, following six full years of use of the machinery, management decided that the estimate of useful life had been too long and that the machinery would have to be retired after three years, that is, at the end of the ninth year of service. Under this revised estimate, the depreciation expense for the seventh year of use would be:
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what the depreciation expense for the seventh year of use would be
First step is to calculate the Book value at the end of Year 6
Machinery cost $80,000
Less: Salvage value ($20,000)
Depreciable cost $60,000
($80,000-$20,000)
Divide by useful life 10 years
Annual Depreciation $6,000
($60,000÷10 years)
Accumulated Depreciation for 6 years $36,000
($6,000*6 years)
Book value at the end of Year 6 $44,000 ($80,000-$36,000)
Now let calculate the Depreciation expense for the seventh year of use
Book value at the end of Year 6 $44,000
Less: Salvage value ($20,000)
Remaining Depreciable cost $24,000
($44,000-$24,000)
Divide by Remaining useful life 3 years
Depreciation expense for the seventh year of use $8,000
($24,000/3 years)
Therefore Under this revised estimate, the depreciation expense for the seventh year of use would be: $8,000
Miller Fruit wants to expand its citrus grove operations. The firm estimates that it needs $8.6 million to buy land and establish its operations. Currently, the firm has 540,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price per share of $47.50. If the firm decides to raise the needed capital through a rights offering, one right will be issued for each share of stock. The subscription price will be set at $40 a share. How many rights will a shareholder need to purchase one new share of stock in this offering
Answer: 2.51
Explanation:
First, we calculate the number of shares that will be issued in order to raise $8.6 million at $40 a share. This will be:
= $8.6 million / $40
= 215,000
Since the firm currently has 540,000 shares of stock outstanding, the number of rights that a shareholder will need to purchase one new share of stock in this offering will be:
= 540,000 / 215,000
= 2.51

1.Enrique runs a flower stall in the local shopping mall. The stall rents for $1,600 a month. Enrique buys the flowers at $2 a bunch and sells them for $3 a bunch. He'll be open seven days a week, eight hours a day, and plans to sell 100 bunches of flowers a day. He's hired Rosita to work three hours each of the five school days and eight hours each day on Saturday and Sunday. Enrique pays Rosita $6 an hour. He works at the stall whenever Rosita is not working. If Enrique didn't work at the flower stall, he'd make $10 an hour as a cook. How much accounting profit and how much economic profit does Enrique make a week
Answer:
Enrique
a) Accounting profit = $114
b) Economic profit (loss) = ($136)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Monthly Rent = $1,600
Cost price of flowers = $2 per bunch
Selling price of flowers = $3 per bunch
Operations are for 7 days (8 hours daily) = 56 hours
Quantity of flowers sold per day = 100 bunches
Quantity of flowers sold per week = 700 (100 * 7)
Employee hours = 5 * 3 + 2 * 8 = 31 hours
Hours worked by Enrique = 25 (56 - 31)
Employee wages = $186 ($6 * 31)
Opportunity cost: Enrique = 25 * $10 = $250 per week
Accounting profit:
Sales revenue ($3 * 700) = $2,100
Cost of sales ($2 * 700) = 1,400
Gross profit $700
Expenses:
Rent ($1,600/4) = 400
Employee wages = 186 586
Accounting profit = $114
Economic profit:
Accounting profit $114
Opportunity cost 250
Economic loss = $136
Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A share of stock sells for $50 today. It will pay a dividend of $6 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1.2. What do investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year
Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53
Explanation:
we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that
Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)
Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)
Expected return=0.06+ 0.12
Expected return=0.18
Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g to find the growth rate
Where Po= current price of stock at $50
D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year
R = Expected return = 0.18
50= 6/ 0.18-g
50(0.18-g) =6
9-50g=6
50g=9-6
g= 3/50
g=0.06 = 6%
Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.
Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g
= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06
=6+0.36/0.12
=6.36/0.12= $53

The next two questions pertain to the problem below: You researched Jersey Kids Corp on Yahoo Finance and you found the following 2020 financial information: Annual dividends per share paid in 2020 - $3.00 Earnings per share - $2.50 Net Income - $2,500,000 Dividend growth rate for 2021 - 2% Investor's required rate of return - 10% 8. Approximately how much would you expect the current stock price of Jersey Kids Corp to be in 2021
Answer:
The current stock price of Jersey Kids Corp in 2021 is expected to be $39.02.
Explanation:
The current stock price of Jersey Kids Corp in 2021 can be calculated using the formula for the dividend discount model as follows:
P2021 = D2022 / (r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P2021 = current stock price in 2021 = ?
D2020 = Annual dividends per share paid in 2020 = $3.00
D2021 = Annual dividends per share paid in 2021 = D2020 * (1 + g) = $3 * (1 + 0.02) = $3.06
D2022 = Annual dividends per share paid in 2022 = D2021 * (1 + g) = $3.06 * (1 + 0.02) = $3.1212
r = required return = 10%. or 0.10
g = growth rate = 2% = 0.02
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
P2021 = $3.1212 / (0.10 - 0.02)
P2021 = $3.1212 / 0.08
P2021 = $39.02
Therefore, the current stock price of Jersey Kids Corp in 2021 is expected to be $39.02.
Use the following data to determine the total dollar amount of assets to be classified as property, plant, and equipment. Sheffield Corp. Balance Sheet December 31, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $71500 Accounts payable $127500 Accounts receivable 93500 Salaries and wages payable 10000 Inventory 146000 Bonds payable 177500 Prepaid insurance 83000 Total liabilities $315000 Stock Investments 176000 Land 191500 Buildings $226500 Common stock $216500 Less: Accumulated depreciation (52500) 174000 Retained earnings 516000 Trademarks 112000 Total stockholders' equity $732500 Total assets $1047500 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $1047500
Answer:
The total dollar amount of assets to be classified as property, plant, and equipment is $365,500.
Explanation:
In accounting, property, plant, and equipment are simply the fixed assets of an organization.
From the question, only Land and Buildings can be classified as property, plant, and equipment and their total dollar amount can be calculated based on the information from the question as follows:
Land = $191500
Buildings = $226500
Accumulated depreciation on Buildings = $52500
Buildings net book value = Buildings - Accumulated depreciation on Buildings = $226500 - $52500 = $174000
Therefore, we have:
Total dollar amount of property, plant, and equipment = Land + Buildings net book value = $191500 + $174000 = $365,500
Therefore, the total dollar amount of assets to be classified as property, plant, and equipment is $365,500.

Real per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is higher in the United States than in Bangladesh. Based on that, we could predict the United States to have a higher rate of ________ and a lower rate of ________.
Answer:
b. adult literacy; infant mortality
Explanation:
Multiple choice "life expectancy; internet usage ; adult literacy; infant mortality ; infant mortality; adult literacy ; access to clean water; life expectancy"
Higher real GDP per capita would imply higher literacy rate and at the same time lower infant mortality as citizens would invest more in health and education. All the other options are wrong as higher real GDP per capita cannot lead to lower life expectancy or literacy rate.
During periods of bad weather, as compared with periods of clear weather, how many additional gallons of fuel on average should FreeEx expect its planes to consume because of airport congestion?
Answer:
the question is incomplete:
arrival rate = 20 per hourlanding rate with good weather = 60 per hourlanding rate with bad weather = 30 per hourλ = 20
μ₀ = 30
μ₁ = 60
Ls for good weather = 20 / (60 - 20) = 20/40 = 0.5
Ls for bad weather = 20 / (30 - 20) = 20/10 = 2
Ws for good weather = 60 / 40 = 1.5
Ws for bad weather = 60 / 10 = 6
Wg for good weather = 1.5 - (60 / 60) = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5
Wg for bad weather = 6 - (60 / 30) = 6 - 2 = 4
Fuel consumed due to slack:
good weather = Ws x λ = 1.5 x 20 = 30 gallons
bad weather = Ws x λ = 6 x 20 = 120 gallons
So each plane should expect to consume 120 - 30 = 90 additional gallons of fuel due to bad weather
Impa Inc. applies overhead based upon machine hours. At the beginning of 2018, Impa estimated overhead to be $400,000, machine hours to be 25,000, and direct labor hours to be 40,000.

c. Building $228,000; Fontaine, Capital $128,000.
d. Building $228,000; Fontaine, Capital $228,000.
e. Building $356,000; Fontaine, Capital $228,000.
Answer: e. Building $356,000; Fontaine, Capital $228,000.
Explanation:
The company would record the building which Fontaine brought in at its Market value which is $356,000.
However, because the partnership assumes responsibility for a $128,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property, this cannot be counted as a capital contribution from Fontaine so this will be removed from their capital contribution;
= 356,000 - 128,000
= $228,000

Then, I/Y = 10, PMT= -45(1000*9%/2), FV= -1100, PV=918
CPT No of years = N(I/Y, PMT, -FV, PV) (Semi annual period)
CPT No of years = 49.35 (Semi annual period)
CPT No of years = 49.35/2
CPT No of years = 24.68
CPT No of years = 25 years
PURCHASING POWER PARITY In the spot market, 19.1 Mexican pesos can be exchanged for 1 U.S. dollar. A compact disc costs $15 in the United States. If purchasing power parity (PPP) holds, what should be the price of the same disc in Mexico
Answer: $286.50
Explanation:
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) posits that prices are the same across countries given the rate of exchange between the currencies of the countries in question.
1 USD = 19.1 Mexican pesos.
Compact disc in Mexico would cost;
= 19.1 * 15
= $286.50
