The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Social responsibility.

Explanation:

Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.

Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.

In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.

Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.

Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock is quite cyclical. In a boom economy, the stock is expected to return 30%, 12% in a normal economy, and negative (20%) in a recessionary period. The probability of a recession is 15%. There is a 30% chance of a boom economy. The remainder of the time, the economy will be at normal levels. What is the overall expected value of the returns on Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock

Answers

Answer:

Expected Value of the return = 12.6%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.

Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn

W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome

W- Probability of the expected outcome, R- expected return under a circumstance

The probability of having a normal economy

Note that the sum of the probability of different outcomes should equal to one. Hence, the probability of economy being normal is

= 100% -(15%+30%)= 55%.

Expected Value of the return

(0.3× 30%) + (0.55× 12%) + (0.15 × -20%) =0.126

=0.126 × 100

= 12.6 %

Expected Value of the return = 12.6%

Liabilities are current obligations of the entity that arose as a result of past events, the settlement of which will results in the outflow of cash from the entity.

To calculate the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020, make adjustments to the liability balance that exists at the start of the year with movement that qualify as liabilities as defined above.

Opening balance as at 1 January 2020 = $22,000

Movements in liabilities                           =  $0

Balance as at March 31, 2020                 =  $22,000

Conclusion :

The liabilities  value  on March 31, 2020 remains at $22,000


Zombie Corp. has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 16.15 percent.
What is this firm's equity multiplier?
What is this firm's debt-equity ratio?

Answers

Answer:

This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239

This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Profit Margin (PM) = 5.10%

That is, Net Profit/Sales = 5.10% = 0.051

Total Assets Turnover (TAT) = 1.95

That is, Sales/Total Assets = 1.95

Return on Equity (ROE) = 16.15%

That is, Net Profit/Total Equity = 16.15% = 0.1615

In order to calculate this firm's equity multiplier we would have to use the following formula:

Equity Multiplier (EM) = Total Assets / Total Equity

=(total assets/sales)*(sales/total equity)

=(total assets/sales)*(sales/net profit)*(net profit/total equity)

=(1/T AT)*(1/PM)*(ROE)

=(1/1.95)*(1/0.051)*(0.1615)

=1.6239

This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239

In order to calculate this this firm's debt-equity ratio we would have to use the following formula:

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity

=(total assets- total equity)/(total equity)

=(total assets/total equity)-(total equity/total equity)

= equity multiplier-1

=1.6239-1

=0.6239

This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239

Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)

Answers

Answer:

$629,000  

Explanation:

The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.

Net income is                               $620,000

depreciaton  expense                    $47,000

Increase in accounts receivable   ($11,000)

decrease in accounts payable     ($27,000)

Net cash flow from operations    $629,000  

The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable

To record the $1 per share gain on investment (500 - 167 shares).

Debit Loss on Investment $700

Credit Investment in Tatma $700

To record the $1 per share loss on investment (700 shares).

Explanation:

Investments held for trading are short-term investments in debt and stock securities.  They are accounted for at fair value.

This implies that at the end of each reporting period, the difference between the book value of the investment and the fair value is adjusted either as gain or loss on investment.  This adjusting entry increases or reduces the book value of the investment to its fair value.  The gain or loss remains an unrealized gain or loss until the investment is sold.

The Melrose Corporation produces a single product, Product C. Melrose has the capacity to produce 90,000 units of Product C each year. If Melrose produces at capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one unit of Product C are as follows:

Direct materials $22.80
Direct labor $18.60
Variable manufacturing overhead $14.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16.00
Variable selling expense $12.80
Fixed selling expense $8.40

The regular selling price of one unit of Product C is $100.80. A special order has been received by Melrose from Moore Corporation to purchase 3,500 units of Product C during the upcoming year. If this special order is accepted, the variable selling expense will be reduced by 75%. Total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling expenses would be unaffected except that Melrose will need to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Moore name on each unit of product C in the special order. The machine will cost $6,300 and will have no use after the special order is filled. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.

Assume that Melrose expects to sell 68,000 units of Product C to regular customers next year. At what selling price for the 3,500 units would Melrose be economically indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore?

a. $59.10
b. $60.60
c. $81.10
d. $82.60

Answers

Answer:

Indifferent selling price =$67 per units

Explanation:

The selling at which Mel rose would be economically be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore is that that equates the relevant cost of making to the revenue from t

Relevant variable cost making

= 22.80 + 18.60 + 14.20 + (75%×12.80) = $65.2

                                                                                                    $

Variable cost of special order (= $65.2 × 3,500)=           228,200

Cost of machine                                                                 6,300

Total relevant cost of  special order                                 234,500

The price at which Melrose would be indifferent

= total relevant cost/ number of units

$234,500/3500 units

=$67 per units

There are many perfumes on the market, but Demeter, a superior brand of perfume, has memorable scents that leads to emotional ties. Which element of the marketing plan is being considered when the marketing manager decided initially to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores?

Answers

Answer:

Place

Explanation:

The four P's of marketing is a number of tactics employed in a marketing plan to achieve better sales of a product. These four P's include; Price, Place, Promotion, and Product. The place factor takes note of the location where the target customers are most likely to be reached. To achieve better sales of a product, it is very important that the right location is chosen so that consumers who are interested in it can access it easily. For example, it would make no sense to sell grocery products in a boutique. That is not where the target customers are.

So, when the marketing manager of Demeter Perfumes decided to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores, it is because that place is where the target market (most likely, high income earners), can be found easily.

Jackson has the choice to invest in city of Mitchell bonds or Sundial, Inc. corporate bonds that pay 5.6 percent interest. Jackson is a single taxpayer who earns $47,500 annually. Assume that the city of Mitchell bonds and the Sundial, Inc. bonds have similar risk. What interest rate would the city of Mitchell have to pay in order to make Jackson indifferent between investing in the city of Mitchell and the Sundial, Inc. bonds for 2019

Answers

Answer: 4.37%

Explanation:

As interest is tax deductible, the Sundial Interest needs to be adjusted for tax to find out the true return.

Jackson as a single tax payer earning $47,500 in 2019 has a tax rate of 22% according to the IRS Tax bracket for that year.

That means that the interest that true interest that Sundial is offering him is,

= 5.6 * ( 1 - tax rate)

= 5.6 * ( 1 - 0.22)

= 5.6 * 0.78

= 0.04368

= 4.37%

To make Jackson indifferent with the same amount of risk, the city of Mitchell would have to offer him the same interest that Sundial is offering net of tax which is 4.37%.

lyssa and Crystal are roommates. They spend most of their time studying (of course), but they leave some time for their favorite activities: making pizza and brewing root beer.

d. Crystal has a comparative advantage in brewing beer

e. Crystal will easily trade away pizza for root beer

f.  there's no limit to the highest price

g. lowest price is 0.719 beer root/pizza

Explanation:

Alyssa takes 3 hrs to brew a gallon of root beers and 2 hrs to make a pizza

Crystal takes 7 hrs to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hrs to make a pizza

Alyssa make 1 gallon/3 hrs = 0.33 gallons/hr of beer, and the same way makes 0.5 pizza/hr

Crystal makes 0.143 gallon/hr of beer, and 0.2 pizza/hr

for Alyssa, 0.33 gallons/hr = 0.5 pizza/hr, therefore

1 gallon of beer = 0.5/0.33 = 1.51 pizza

for crystal, 1 gallon of beer = 0.2/0.143 = 1.39 pizza

price of pizza:

Alyssa = 0.662 root beer/pizza

Crystal = 0.719 root beer/pizza

Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units

Answers

Answer:

a. 14,300 units

b. 9,100 units

Explanation:

a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost

= $370 - $300

= $70

Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,001,000 ÷ $70

= 14,300 units

b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost

= $410 - $300

= $110

Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,001,000 ÷ $110

= 9,100 units

So, we have applied the above formula.

Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $66 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 725 units at $69 each and 364 units at $71 each. Sheridan Company also sold 1198 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 21.48.)

Answers

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Explanation:

To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.

Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

Total cost of all units:

Beginning inventory (485 * 66)            32010

Purchase 1     (725 * 69)                        50025

Purchase 2     (364 * 71)                        25844

Total                                                       107879

Total Units

Beginning Inventory     485

Purchase 1                     725

Purchase 2                    364

Total                              1574

Average cost per unit =   107879 / 1574

Average cost per unit = $68.54

Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198     =   376 units

Value of closing inventory =  376 * 68.54

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Bond A pays $8,000 in 20 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 10 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.)

Suppose the interest rate is 7 percent.

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately_______ , and the value of Bond B is approximately_______ .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately_________ , and the value of Bond B is approximately________ . Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a_______ percentage than Bond B's value. The value of a bond__________ when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are _________sensitive to changes in the interest rate.

Answers

Answer:

To find the value of bond, let's use the formula:

Value of bond = price of bond / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ

Here n represents number of years.

At 7% interest rate:

Value of bond A = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^2^0} = 2067.35[/tex]

Value of bond B = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^1^0} = 4066.79[/tex]

At 14% interest rate:

Value of bond A = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^20} = 582.09 [/tex]

Value of bond B = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^10} = 2157.95 [/tex]

The difference between bond A at 7% and 14%:

$582.09 - $2067.35 = -$1485.26

The difference between bond B at 7% and 14%:

$2157.95 - $4066.79 = -$1908.84

% decrease between bond A and B:

[tex] \frac{1908.84 - 1485.26}{1908.84} * 100 = 22.19 [/tex]

Therefore, from the above calculations, we have the following:

Suppose the interest rate is 7%, Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately $2067.35, and the value of Bond B is approximately $4066.79 .

Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately $528.09 , and the value of Bond B is approximately $2157.95 .

Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a 22.19 percentage than Bond B's value.

The value of a bond decreases when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.

Answers

Answer:

$40,700

Explanation:

To determine Taio's cost of going to college you need to find the economic cost that involves all the costs that you need to cover to receive a benefit and the opportunity costs that refer to what you would have received if you had chosen a different alternative. According to this, Taio's cost is equal to all the acounting costs related to going to college plus the opportunity costs that are the benefits lost from the other option which was not going to college.

Accounting costs= $22,000+$11,000+$1,700= $34,700

Opportunity costs= $12,000-$6,000= $6,000

Taio's cost of going to college is equal to the acount costs plus the opportunity costs:

$34,700+$6,000= $40,700

You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $700 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $800 down payment. If interest rates are 9.25 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)

Answers

Answer:

$34,333

Explanation:

A fix periodic payment for a specific period of time is an annuity payment. Price of the car can be determined by the sum of the present value of all payments and down payment made.

First we need o calculate the present value of annuity using following formula

Present value of annuity = P x [ 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r ]

P = periodic payment = $700

r = APR = 9.25 /12% = 0.77%

n = numbers of periods = 5 years x 12 months per year = 60 months

Placing values in the formula

Present value of annuity = $700 x [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.77% )^-60 / 0.77% ]

Present value of annuity = $33,532.88

Price of the car = Present value of annuity + Down Payment

Price of the car = $33,532.88 + $800 = $34,332.88

Hot and Cold has annual sales of $847,000, annual depreciation of $47,000, and net working capital of $43,000. The tax rate is 21 percent and the profit margin is 7.3 percent. The firm has no interest expense. What is the amount of the operating cash flow

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the operating cash flow is $108,831

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of the operating cash flow.

Firstly, we calculate the net income.

Mathematically, net income = Sales × %  profit margin

From the question, sales = $847,000

% profit margin = 7.3% = 7.3/100 = 0.073

Net income = $847,000 × 0.073 = $61,831

Finally, Operating cash flow = Net income + Depreciation

From the question, depreciation = $47,000

Plugging this alongside the net income,

Operating cash flow = $61,831 + $47,000 = $108,831

Answer:

standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76

Explanation:

From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.

The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.

Here;

the potential outcome = Probability of the States

chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns

Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 ×  10%) + (0.20 × 13%)

Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%

Expected return = 9.35%

You have $6,600 to deposit. Regency Bank offers 12 percent per year compounded monthly (1.0 percent per month), while King Bank offers 12 percent but will only compound annually. How much will your investment be worth in 17 years at each bank

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Deposit= $6,600

Regency Bank:

12 percent per year compounded monthly (1.0 percent per month)

King Bank:

12 percent but will only compound annually.

Number of years= 17

To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula for each bank:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Regency Bank:

n=17*12= 204

FV= 6,600*(1.01^204)

FV= $50,246.3

FV= 6,600*(1.12^17)

FV= $45,315.87

Big data analytics programs (analyzing massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As this use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations? Why?

Answers

Answer:

It will not decrease the humanity of production.

Explanation:

Big data analytics is useful for unraveling hidden patterns and correlations. Big data analytics is sometimes linked to be a direct descendant of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s scientific management and recently it is the most recent iteration of the quantitative approach to management.

Big data is used in management in activities that includes humans or individuals therefore it will not reduce the humanity of production in organizations.

B. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
C. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income under the tax benefit rule.
D. Barry may exclude the $6,000 from gross income because the debt never existed.
E. None of these.

Answers

Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness

Explanation:

Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.

In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.

What was Lequin's cost of goods sold?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold  = $564,000

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold would be determined as follows:

                                                                                 $

Opening inventory

Raw material =                                                   14,000

Work in progress                                                 31,000

Manufacturing cost                                            543,000

                                                                            588,000

Add open inventory of Finished goods              25,000

Less Closing inventory

raw material                                                          ( 19,000)

Work in progress                                                 ( 7,000)

Total cost of goods available for sale               587,000

Less closing inventory of finished goods           23,000      

Cost of goods sold                                              564,000

Note that the opening inventory of raw material  and work in progress would increase the manufacturing cost while their respective closing inventory represent cost incurred on production during the period on inventories not yet completed

Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?

Answers

Answer:

$3.00

Explanation:

Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:

The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :

$87,000 × 3,000/5,800

=$261,000,000/5,800

=$45,000

The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :

$62,000 × 4,500/10,000

$279,000,000/10,000

=$27,900

The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :

$93,000 × 2,500/7,750

=$232,500,000/7,750

=$30,000

The total overhead allocated to Product A

$45,000+$30,000+$27,900

= $102,900

Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units

= $3.00

Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00

A North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annual holding cost of 25 percent.The fixed cost of a replenishment order (including transportation) is $100. The store currently places a replenishment order every month for 500 jackets. What is the annual holding and ordering cost? On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory? If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend? How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?

Answers

Answer:

1) What is the annual holding and ordering cost?

annual ordering cost = $100 x 12 = $1,200

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x [500 x 1/2(average inventory)] = $6,250

total $7,450

2) On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?

= 30 days / 2 = 15 days

3) If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √[(2 x annual demand x order cost) / annual holding cost per unit]

EOQ = √[(2 x 6,000 x 100) / 25] = √48,000 = 219.09 units ≈ 219 units

4) How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?

EOQ = 219

total number of orders = 6,000 / 219 = 27.4 per year

average inventory = 219 / 2 = 109.5 units

annual ordering cost = $100 x 27.4 = $2,740

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x 109.5 = $2,737.50

total $5,477.50

annual savings = $7,450 - $5,477.50 = $1,972.50

Suppose the U.S. government cuts back on government spending and increases taxes in an effort to reduce the budget deficit. What would be the effect of these changes on the U.S. balance of payments?

a. There would be no change because the balance of payments always equals zero.
b. There would be an increase in the current account and an increase in the capital account.
c. There would be a decrease in the current account and a decrease in the capital account.
d. There would be a decrease in the current account and an increase in the capital account.
d. There would be an increase in the current account and a decrease in the capital account.

Answers

Answer:

d. There would be a decrease in the current account and an increase in the capital account.

Explanation:

The balance of payment in accounting typically comprises of capital account and current account, it is used for the recording of business transactions between two countries. Capital accounts are used to record any trade between two countries relating to financial assets and liabilities.

The current account is used to record trades relating to import and export of goods and services in a country.

Hence, if the U.S. government cuts back on government spending and increases taxes in an effort to reduce the budget deficit. The effect of these changes on the U.S. balance of payments is that there would be a decrease in the current account because it has no effect on the value of assets and liabilities, thereby affecting the export and import of goods and services.

Also, there would be an increase in the capital account due to the fact that the government tends to borrow more and seeks foreign investors.

As an employee in the Lottery Commission, your job is to design a new prize. Your idea is to create two grand prize choices: (1) receiving $50,000 at the end of each year beginning in one year for 20 consecutive years, or (2) receiving $500,000 today followed by a one-time payment at the end of 20 years. Using an interest rate of 6%, which of the following comes closest to the amount prize (2) needs to pay at the end of year 20 in order that both prizes to have the same present value?
a. $ 326,649
b. $ 440,463
c. $ 114,932
d. $ 393,342
e. $ 235,712

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is  $235,712,option E  

Explanation:

The present value of prize(1) can be computed by using the excel pv formula as shown below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is interest rate of 6%

nper is the number of years payment would be made which is 20

pmt is the amount of money received per year which is $50,000

fv is the total future worth of the prize (1) which is unknown

=-pv(6%,20,50000,0)

=$573,496.06  

The difference between present value of prize(1) $573,496.06   and $500,000 receivable from prize (2) today is $73,496.06

The difference is today's worth, its future worth can be computed thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

PV is $73,496.06  

r is 6%

n is 20 years

FV=$73,496.06*(1+6%)^20 =$ 235,711.82  

The amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B. $440,463.

Data and Calculations:

N (# of periods) = 20 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $50,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

Present Value (PV) = $573,496.06

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,000,000.00

Total Interest = $426,503.94

Thus, the amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B.

Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) The Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $100,000, and it is a zero growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 8.8%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00. Refer to the data for the Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC). Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 50% debt and 50% equity. If it makes this change, its resulting market value would be $820,000. What would be its new stock price per share?

Answers

Answer:

The new stock price per share would be $62

Explanation:

In order to calculate the new stock price per share we would have to calculate first the value of the firm as follows:

value of the firm=value of equity+value of debt

value of the firm=(60*10,000)+$200,000

value of the firm=$800,000

If the company makes 50% debt and 50% equity, the market value will increase to $820,000 that is value of equity=$820,000-$200,000=$620,000

Therefore, new stock price per share will be=$620,000/10,000

new stock price per share=$62

c. If the net sales increases by 15%, the Net sales = $1,016,600 ($884,000 x 1.15)

If Gross profit increases by $40,443, the Gross profit = $310,143 ($269,700 + $40,443)

If Expenses increase by $58,600, the total operating Expenses = $282,400 ($223,800 + $58,600)

Revised Net Income:

Gross Profit                                              $310,143

Total operating expenses                     (282,400)

Income from operations                          $27,743

Other revenues:

Gain from Disposal of Plant Assets         $2,000  

Other expenses:

Interest Expense                                     ($5,000)

Income before Income Taxes               $24,743

Income Tax Expense                            ($10,000)

Net Income After Taxes                        $14,743

b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:

1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)

= $14,743/$1,016,600 x 100

= 1.45%

2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)

= $310,143/$1,016,600 x 100

= 30.51%

d. With the proposed changes, the gross profit rate remains the same (without any impact) because the net sales increased by the same rate (15%) as the cost of goods sold and the gross profit.

However, the net income reduced drastically, especially with the income tax remaining the same amount.

Thus, without the income tax effect, there is no merit in this proposal as it reduced the net income margin from 3.72% to 1.45%.
