Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 20% weight in equity, 10% in preferred stock, and 70% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 14%, the cost of preferred stock is 10%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 30%?
Answer: 8.21%
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC) simply put, is the rate at which a company pays those who have invested in it and financed it be it debt holders or equity holders.
The rates in question are averaged according to the proportion by which the company uses the said capital. This results in the following formula,
WACC= [(Wd*Rd) * (1-Tax) + (We * Re) +(Wp * Rp )]
Where,
Wd is the Weight of debt
We is the weight of common Equity
Wp is the weight of preferred Equity
Rd is the Pre-tax cost of debt
Re is the cost of common Equity
Rp is the cost of Preferred equity.
Note: Sometimes you will be given the After - tax cost of debt. In which case you will not need to include the tax adjustment of (1 - tax).
Calculating,
= [( 70% * 9%) * ( 1 - 30%) + (20% * 14%) + (10% * 10%) ]
= 0.0441 + 0.028 + 0.01
= 0.0821
= 8.21%
Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000, and a coupon rate of 7.0 % (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.0 %. What was the price of this bond when it was issued?
Answer:
$1,073.60
Explanation:
bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
maturity = 10 years
face value = $1,000
coupon rate = 7% annual
market rate = 6%
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39
PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21
market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60
since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.
Burrito King (a new fast-food franchise opening up nationwide) has successfully automated burrito production for its drive-up fast-food establishments. The Burro-Master 9000 requires a constant 30 seconds to produce a batch of burritos. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the drive-up window according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 45 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line at the drive-up window
A. What is the average line length (in cars)?
B. What is the average number of cars in the system (both in line and at the window)?
C. What is the expected average time in the system?
Answer:
(A)0.6600 (B) 1.325 (C) 0.997 or 1 minute
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The constant rate = 30 seconds
The arrival rate according to Poisson distribution is = 45 seconds
Now,
(A) We solve for the average length line of cars
The formula is given below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Here,
λ = this is the mean time of arrival rate
μ = This is the mean service rate
Thus we compute for the mean time arrival rate which is given below:
The mean arrival rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds
= 60/45
= 1.33 customer per minute
Then we solve for the means service rate which is given below
The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate
= 60/30 = 2 customer per minute
We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)
Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)
Lq = 1.7689/2.68
Lq = 0.6600
Therefore the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system
Ls =Lq + λ /μ
Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2
Ls =0.6600 + 0.665
Ls = 1.325
(C) Finally we need to find the expected average time in the system which is shown below:
Ws = Ls/λ
Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00
The expected time average in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.
(A) The average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) Ls = 1.325
(C)The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.
What is Average Time?The constant rate = 30 seconds
The arrival rate according to Poisson disbandment is = 45 seconds
(A) We solve for the average stature line of cars
The formula is given below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Here,
λ = this is the meantime of arrival rate
μ = This is the mean service rate
Thus we compute for the meantime arrival rate which is given below:
The mean formation rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds
= 60/45
= 1.33 customer per minute
Then we solve for the concessions service rate which is given below
The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate
= 60/30 = 2 consumer per minute
We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)
Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)
Lq = 1.7689/2.68
Lq = 0.6600
Hence the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system
Ls =Lq + λ /μ
Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2
Ls =0.6600 + 0.665
Ls = 1.325
(C) Finally we need to find the anticipated average time in the system which is shown below:
Ws = Ls/λ
Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00
The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.

A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity
assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000
liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000
both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

Option A costs an initial $2 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $5 per bottle of spirits. Option B costs an initial $4 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $3 per bottle of spirits. Assuming an annual capital charge equal to 10 percent of the initial costs, what is the average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility
Answer: 20
Explanation:
Total cost of Option B = 4 billion
Total fixed cost = 10% of 4 billion
= 10/100 × 4,000,000,000
= 0.1 × 4,000,000,000
= 400,000,000
The average fixed cost is the total cost divided by the total number of output that is given. In this case, this can be calculated as:
= 400,000,000/20,000,000
= 20
The average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility will be 20.

a. No deduction can be claimed this year.
b. $5.50 million
c. $2,500,000
d. $5.50 million only if the professional golf tournament is played before April 15.
Answer:
Since Ajax Computer company is an accrual method calender-year tax payer, the computer company would recognize the expenses only when such expenses are incurred and not at the time that cash is being paid for the the expenses
Ajax computer company already paid in advance for both advertisements the following year even though the advertisement eanst taking place that year. Therefore, the payments will not be considered to be an expense until advertisements has actually taken place. Because of this, Ajax cannot deduct the amounts paid for the advertisements next year and hence, no deduction will be claimed this year.

A local government awards a landscaping company a contract worth $1.5 million per year for five years for maintaining public parks. The landscaping company will need to buy some new machinery before they can take on the contract. If the cost of capital is 6%, what is the most that this equipment could cost if the contract is to be worthwhile for the landscaping company
Answer:
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
Explanation:
The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5 million annuity discounted at 6% p.a.
Present Value of Annuity = A × ( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- 1,500,000, n- 5, r- 6%
=1, 500,000 × ((1.06)^(-5))/0.06
= $6,318,545.68
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
an investment that in today's dollars returns 12% of your investment in year 1, 18% in year 2, 11% in year 3, and the remainder in year 4. Rounded to two places, what is the Duration of this investment
Answer:
3.17 years
Explanation:
We can calculate the duration of Investment by duration formula,
Duration= Sum of (PV of each cashflow x year)
PV of each cash flow can be understood as Dolar return % given in the Question.
Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4
Duration= (12% x 1) + (18% x 2) + (11% x 3) + (59% x 4)
Duration= 0.12 + 0.36 + 0.33 + 2.36
Duration= 3.17 years
Note: (100%-12%-18%-11%)59% can be calculated as the remainder of 100% after deducting each year's %.
company's perpetual preferred stock currently sells for $92.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock? Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F). Hint: remember that for preferred stock the growth rate of the dividend is zero.
Answer:
The firm's cost of preferred stock is 9.10%
Explanation:
The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)
The dividend per year is $8
The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)
where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%
adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88
Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100 = 9.10%
Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 320 Direct labor cost $ 230 Machine-hours used 37 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 50 units, what is the unit product cost for this job
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated machine-hours= 157,000
Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead= $650,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.40
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overehad rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (650,000/157,000) + 4.4
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.54 per machine-hour
Job 400:
Direct materials $320
Direct labor cost $230
Machine-hours used 37
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 8.54*37= $315.98
Finally, we need to determine the unitary cost for Job 400:
Total cost= 320 + 230 + 315.98= $865.98
Unitary cost= 865.98/50= $17.32

Debit Investment in Muninger $333
Credit Unrealized Gains on Investment $333
To record the fair value of common stock investment.
Debit Unrealized Loss on Investment $700
Credit Investment in Tatman $700
To record the fair value of common stock investment.
Explanation:
a) Feb. 1, Muniger Common Stock 500 shares at $55 for $27,500
August 1, Sold 167 shares at $65 for $10,855
December 31 Remaining at fair value, 333 shares at $56 for $18,648
Fair Value Gain = $1 x 333 shares = $333
b) Tatman Common Stock 700 shares for $17,500
March 1, Common Stock 700 shares at $25 for $17,500
December 31, Remaining at fair value, 700 shares at $24 for $16,800
Fair Value Loss = $1 x 700 = $700
c) Trading Investments are held for short-term purposes to take advantage of dividends and changes in the market price of the investments. These securities are accounted for at fair value. The requirement is that at the end of the accounting period, the fair value is determined and used to value the investment. Unrealized Gains or Losses are recorded, depending on their fair values. The gains or losses become realized when the investments are sold.
Suppose there are 11 buyers and 11 sellers, each willing to buy or sell one unit of a good, with values {$14, $13, $12, $11, $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5, $4,}. Assume no transaction costs and a competitive market. If there is a market maker in this market. What is the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker? a. $9 bid; $9 ask b. $6 bid; $12 ask c. $8 bid; $10 ask d. $7 bid; $11 ask
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.
Price Quantity demanded by buyers Quantity sold by sellers
$14 1 11
$13 2 10
$12 3 9
$11 4 8
$10 5 7
$9 6 6
$8 7 5
$7 8 4
$6 9 3
$5 10 2
$4 11 1
However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.
But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.
So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.
On the other hand, the individual having a lower value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to sell it for the ask price of the good.
In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .
Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.
Purchasing power parity is used to adjust gross national income in order to make a more direct comparison of________in various countries.
a. living standards.
b. population density.
c. geographical area.
d. factor endowments.
e. labor productivity.
Answer:
A. living standards.
Explanation:
HDI( Human development index) has been trying to assess 189 different countries and territories, with very different price levels. In order to compare economic statistics across countries, the data must first be converted into a common currency. In contrast to market exchange rates, PPP exchange rates make it possible for this conversion to take into account price differences between countries. This best represents the standard of living of people, GNI per capita (PPP)
A rich donor gives a hospital $ 960 comma 000 one year from today. Each year after that, the hospital will receive a payment 5 % larger than the previous payment, with the last payment occurring in ten years' time. What is the present value (PV) of this donation, given that the interest rate is 9 %?
Answer:
$7,560,000
Explanation:
To solve this problem, the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity formula is used.
The Present Value of a growing annuity is the current value of a series of payments which grows or diminishes at a constant rate each period.
The formula below represents the PV of a growing annuity:
[tex]PV=PMT *\frac{(1-(1+g)^{n}*(1+i)^{-n}) }{i-g}[/tex], ............................................. (i)
where,
PV = Present Value = ?
PMT = Periodic Payment = $960,000
i = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09
g = Growth Rate = 5% = 0.05
n = Number of periods = 10 years
Substituting these values in equation (i), we have
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1+0.05)^{10}*(1+0.09)^{-10} }{0.09-0.05}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.05^{10})*(1.09)^{-10}) }{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.63*0.42))}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-0.685)}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{0.315}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*7.875[/tex]
[tex]PV=$7,560,000[/tex]
PV = $7,560,000
The Field, Brown & Snow partnership was begun with investments by the partners as follows: Field, $131,700; Brown, $167,700; and Snow, $155,400. The partners decide to liquidate, sharing all losses equally. On May 31, after all assets were sold and all creditors were paid, only $47,100 in partnership cash remained.
Required:
a. Compute the capital account balance of each partner after the liquidation of assets and the payment of creditors.
b. Assume that any partner with a deficit agrees to pay cash to the partnership to cover the deficit. Present the journal entries on May 31 to record (a) the cash receipt from the deficient partner(s) and (b) the final
disbursement of cash to the partners.
c. Assume that any partner with a deficit is not able to reimburse the partnership. Present journal entries (a) to transfer the deficit of any deficient partners to the other partners and (b) to record the final disbursement of cash to the partners.
Answer:
a. The capital account balance of each partner after the liquidation of assets and the payment of creditors would be as follows:
Field Brown Snow
Capital Balance -4,200 31,800 19,500
b. a
Debit Credit
Cash 4,200
Field capital 4,200
b. Debit Credit
Brown capital 31,800
Snow capital 19,500
Cash 51,300
c. a Debit Credit

Snow capital 2100
Field Capital 4,200
b. Debit Credit
Brown capital 29,700
Snow capital 17,400
Cash 47,100
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the capital account balance of each partner after the liquidation of assets and the payment of creditors we would have to make the following calculations:
Field Brown Snow Total
Initial Investment $131,700 $167,700 $155,400 454,800
Allocation of all losses: 135,900 135,900 135,900 407,700
(454,800-47,100)/3
Capital Balance -4,200 31,800 19,500 47,100
b. a. The record of the cash receipt from the deficient partner(s) would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Cash 4,200
Field capital 4,200
b. The record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 31,800
Snow capital 19,500
Cash 51,300
c. a Record to transfer the deficit of any deficient partners to the other partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 2100
Snow capital 2100
Field Capital 4,200
Brown capital= 4,200/2=2100
Snow capital=4,200/2=2100
b. Record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 29,700
Snow capital 17,400
Cash 47,100
Brown capital=31,800-2,100 =29,700
Snow capital=19,500-2,100=17,400
Homestead Jeans Co. has an annual plant capacity of 67,000 units, and current production is 45,700 units. Monthly fixed costs are $54,400, and variable costs are $30 per unit. The present selling price is $40 per unit. On November 12 of the current year, the company received an offer from Dawkins Company for 19,600 units of the product at $33 each. Dawkins Company will market the units in a foreign country under its own brand name. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic selling price or quantity of sales of Homestead Jeans Co.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated November 12 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the Dawkins order. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". A colon (:) will automatically appear if required.
b. Briefly explain the reason why accepting this additional business will increase operating income.
c. What is the minimum price per unit that would produce a positive contribution margin?

Answer:
Homestead Jeans Co.
a) Differential Analysis dated November 12
Options Reject (Alternative 1) Special Order Accept (Alternative 2)
Units sold 45,700 19,600 65,300
Revenue $1,828,000 $646,800 $2,474,800
Variable Cost -1,371,000 -588,000 -1959,000
Contribution $457,000 $58,800 $515,800
Fixed Costs 652,800 $0 652,800
Net Income/(Loss) -$195,800 $58,800 -$137,000
b) Accepting this order will reduce operating loss from $195,800 to $137,000, making a difference of $58,800. The reason is that the special order will make a contribution towards offsetting the fixed cost with a sum of $58,800.
c) Minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution margin:
The contribution margin per unit = Selling price minus variable cost per unit = $40 - $30 = $10 per unit.
To produce positive contribution margin, selling price must be more than variable cost. Selling price will be at least $31.
Therefore, the minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution is $31.
Explanation:
a) In differential analysis, only relevant costs are considered. Fixed costs are regarded as sunk and therefore irrelevant in making any differential decision.
b) The revenue is a function of selling price and quantity sold. While the variable costs equal units sold multiplied by the unit variable cost.

Krisp Systems decides to move production to a developing country where they are free to pump pollutants into the atmosphere without legal restriction. By doing this, the company is contributing to:_______
a. corporate social responsibility.
b. corruption.
c. cultural relativism.
d. the global tragedy of the commons.
e. sustainability
Answer: the global tragedy of the commons
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is a term that is used to refer to a situation whereby resources that are held in common by everyone but owned by no one and is therefore overused by individuals which results in degradation.
Krisp Systems moves production to a developing country where they can pump pollutants into the atmosphere without any legal restriction will lead to
global tragedy of the commons. Here, the global tragedy is that Krisp system will only work in their own interest and exploit the resources at the detriment of the people which will lead to pollution.
Answer:
d. the global tragedy of the commons.
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is a situation that arises as a result of the selfish interest of people who exploit the shared economic resources at the expense and detriment of other users of the resources in the environment. Activities which result in Tragedy of the commons would cause pollution of the environment, excessive consumption, as well as the depletion of resources. A way to curb this sort of exploitation is by the regulation of the activities of companies by the government. This would ensure that certain limits are not overstepped.
When Krisp Systems decides to bypass this regulation by moving to a developing country where they are free to pump pollutants into the atmosphere, they are in effect contributing to the tragedy of the commons.

Letts Corporation manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses units as the measure of activity in its budgets and performance reports. During January, the company budgeted for 7,000 units, but its actual level of activity was 6,970 units. The company has provided the following data concerning the formulas to be used in its budgeting: Fixed element per month Variable element per unit Revenue − $ 30.40 Direct labor $ 0 $ 6.10 Direct materials 0 8.70 Manufacturing overhead 46,700 1.80 Selling and administrative expenses 27,800 0.20 Total expenses $ 74,500 $ 16.80 The selling and administrative expenses in the planning budget for January would be closest to:
Answer:
Total Selling and administrative expenses $29200
Explanation:
Letts Corporation Manufacturers
Fixed element per month Variable element per unit
Revenue − $ 30.40
Direct labor $ 0 $ 6.10
Direct materials 0 8.70
Manufacturing overhead 46,700 1.80
Selling & admin. expenses 27,800 0.20
Total expenses $ 74,500 $ 16.80
We multiply the variable cost per unit with the planned number of units to get the variable budgeted cost. Fixed cost will however remain unchanged.
Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost per unit * No Of units
Fixed Selling and administrative expenses $ 27,800
Variable Selling and administrative expenses 0.20*7000= $ 1400
Total Selling and administrative expenses $29200
