Masterson, Inc., has 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $7. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $65 million, has a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 93 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $50 million, has a coupon rate of 4 percent, and sells for 105 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 8 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.20 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 24 percent. What is the company's WACC? (Do not round Intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 32.16.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

WACC=9.26%

Explanation:

Calculation for the company's WACC

First step is to calculate the Total Market Value

Total Market Value = 8,000,000*68+ 65,000,000*93% + 50,000,000*105%

Total Market Value = 544,000,000+60,450,000+52,500,000

Total Market Value = $656,950,000

Second step is to calculate the % Value of Equity,% Value of First Bond and % Value of Second Bond

% Value of Equity =544,000,000/$656,950,000*100

% Value of Equity = 82.81%

% Value of First Bond = 60,450,000/$656,950,000*100

% Value of First Bond= 9.20%

% Value of Second Bond = 52,500,000/$656,950,000*100

% Value of Second Bond =7.99%

Third step is to calculate Ke Using this formula

Ke = Cost of Equity = Dividend/Market Value per share + Growth Rate

Let plug in the formula

Ke = 4.2/68 + 4.3%

Ke= 6.18% + 4.3%

Ke= 10.48%

Last step is to calculate WACC using this formula

WACC = % Value of Equity * Cost of Equity + % Value of Debt * Cost Of Debt (1- Tax Rate)

Let plug in the formula for

WACC= 82.81% * 10.48% + 9.20% * 5% (1-0.24) + 7.99%* 4%(1-0.25)

WACC= 8.67%+ 9.20% * 5%(0.76)+7.99%* 4%(0.76)

WACC= 8.67%+ 9.20% * 3.8%+7.99%* 3.04%

WACC=8.67%+0.35%+0.24%

WACC=9.26%

Therefore the company's WACC will be 9.26%

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. During April, Impa has 3,000 direct labor hours and 4,500 machine hours. What is the amount of overhead applied for April?

Answers

Solution :

It is given that,

Impa Inc. estimated an overhead of $ 400,00 machine hours to be 25,000 and that of direct labor hours of 40,000.

During the month of April, Impa Inc. has a 3000 direct labor hours as well as 4500 machine hours.

Therefore, the overhead applied for the month of April is

[tex]$\frac{400,000}{25,000} $[/tex]  machine hours = $ 16 per machine hour

The actual machine hours in April = 4500 machine hours

Therefore the overhead applied = 4500 x 16

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?

Answers

Answer:

the question is incomplete:

arrival rate = 20 per hourlanding rate with good weather = 60 per hourlanding rate with bad weather = 30 per hour

λ = 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

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

Answers

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

25 years

Explanation:

We first set BA II Plus calculator : C/Y = 2, P/Y = 2

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

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

Answers

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.

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

Answers

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

Answers

Answer: The cost of capital for a firm with no debt in its capital structure.

Explanation:

Leverage in finance refers to the use of debt. Unlevered capital therefore would refer to capital that is without debt which means that an unlevered cost of capital is one with no debt in its capital structure.

Companies with such a capital structure derive their capital 100% from Equity and as such do not pay interest. This means however, that they will not benefit from the tax shields that interest payments offer.

Answers

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.

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 2% and the expected rate of return on the market is 8%. A share of stock sells for $50 today. It will pay a dividend of $3 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?

Answers

Answer: $51.60

Explanation:

The Gordon growth model can be used to calculate this however both the required return and the growth rate will need to be solved for.

Required return using CAPM;

= Risk free rate + beta * ( market return - risk free rate)

= 2% + 1.2 * ( 8% - 2%)

= 9.2%

Current price is $50. Using Gordon growth model, growth is;

Price = Next dividend / ( Required return - growth rate)

50 = 3 / ( 9.2% - g)

( 9.2% - g) * 50 = 3

( 9.2% - g) = 3/50

g = 9.2% - 3/50

g = 3.2%

Stock price at end of year using Gordon growth model;

= (3 * ( 1 + 3.2%)) / ( 9.2% - 3.2%)

= $51.60

e. Building $356,000; Fontaine, Capital $228,000.

Answers

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

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

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

Answers

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%
