Answer:
a. What is the market value of the firm?
$162,500b. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm (debt plus equity)?
$200,123c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?
The firm should not issue the debt because the risk of bankruptcy eliminates any possible gains obtained from issuing debt. It actually decreases the value of equity.Explanation:
the firm's current value = [EBIT x (1 - tax rate)] / WACC = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 10% = $162,500
firm's new WACC = ($112,500/$162,500 x 10%) + ($50,000/$162,500 x 6% x 0.65) = 6.92% + 1.2% = 8.12%
the firm's new value = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 8.12% = $200,123
expected cost of bankruptcy = (30% x $200,000) / 1.1³ = $45,079
firm's total value is still $200,123, but the stockholders' equity has been reduced from ($200,123 - $50,000 = $150,123) to $150,123 - $45,079 = $105,044
the gain from issuing debt will be eliminated due to the risk of bankruptcy, before equity had risen from $112,500 to $150,123, but now it decreases to $105,044.
The market value of the firm will be $162500.
Based on the information given, the market value will be calculated thus:
= [EBIT × (1 - Tax rate(] / WACC
= [25000 × (1 - 0.35)] / 10%
= [25000 × 0.65] / 0.10 = $162500
Since the firm's new WACC is 8.12%, then the new value of the firm will be:
= (25000 × 0.65) / 8.12%
= 200,123
Therefore, the total value of the firm is $200,123.
In conclusion, the firm should not issue the debt due to the fact that the risk of bankruptcy will eliminate the gains gotten from the issuance.

Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil.
Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is ____ per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50
E. $80
Answer:
1. 80,000
2. $40 per barrel
Explanation:
1. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium quantity in this market is 80,000 barrels of heating oil per day, as quantity demanded match quantity supplied
2. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium price is $40 per barrel as in this cost there is an intersection of quantity demanded and quantity supplied. In other words the equilibrium price and quantity could be find out when the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
Bannister Co. is thinking about having one of its products manufactured by a subcontractor.

Answer:
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (1,000 units):
Direct material $ 45,000
Direct labor $30,000
Factory overhead (30% is variable) 98,000
Buy:
1,000 units from an outside supplier for $100,000.
I will assume that the fixed overhead is not avoidable, therefore it should not be taken into account for the decision making.
Production total cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.

Identify whether each of the following examples belongs to Money aggregates (M1 or M2). If an example belongs in both, be sure to write it down.
a. Sean has $30,000 in a money market account.
b. Musashi has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
c. Yvette has $7,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Any type of money that falls into the M2 category is, by definition, part of M1 as well.
a. True
b. False
Answer: 1. a) M2
b) M1 and M2
c) M2
2. b. False
Explanation:
1.
M1 is a type of definition of money by economists that seek to explain the circulation of money in the economy. It includes cash and cash equivalents that are easy to convert into cash. This includes actual physical cash as well as Demand Deposits.
M2 is the definition that follows after M1. M2 by definition includes all the types of cash in M1 as well as deposits less than $100,000, non Institutional Money Market Fund investments and savings deposits. It isn't as liquid as M1 but is very important in forecasting inflation.
The classifications therefore are,
a) M2. This is M2 as it is a Non Institutional Money Market investment by Sean.
b) M1 and M2. This is physical cash and as such is part of M1 and as stated, anything part of M1 is part of M2 as well.
c) M2. As a deposit less than $100,000, the $7,000 that Yvette has in the CD classifies as M2.
2. False.
Money that is part of M2 is not automatically part of M1. M1 includes only physical cash as well as Demand Deposits while M2 has other forms such as savings deposits and small time deposits. Money that is part of M1 is automatically part of M2 and not the other way around.

Twinte Cars, a California corporation, has internal corporate requirements that stipulate a three-year payroll document retention period. It enters into a contract with an international company that mandates a six-year payroll document retention requirement. How should Twinte Cars balance these requirements
Answer:
-The period for retention could be up to 8 years depending upon the circumstances.
-The benefits and records may be called to evidence
Explanation:
In this scenario Twinte cars needs to balance internal requirement of 3 year payroll document retention period and the contract if 6 year payroll retention with the international company. Usually foreign companies have a higher retention requirement.
A way out of this predicament will be to get a new retention period of 8 years. This will satisfy requirements of the international company.
Also Twinte cars can provide benefits and records from their internal 3 year payroll retention to the international company

Explanation:
a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset. It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years. It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age. Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.
b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset. Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $21. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $2.04 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $24. The stock's beta is 1.2, rf is 8%, and E[rm] = 16%. What is the stock's abnormal return?A. 1%
B. 2%
C. -1%
D. -2%
E. None of the above
Answer:
E. None of the above
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the holding period return
Holding period return is the rate of return which an assets earns during the period in which it holds the assets.
Holding Period Return = (Selling Price - Initial Price + Dividend ) / Initial Price
Holding Period Return = ($24 - $21 + $2.04 ) / $21 = 0.24 = 24%
Now we need to calculate the expected return on the stock using CAPM formula as follow
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market Risk Premium )
Expected return = rf + beta ( E(rm) )
Placing values in the formula
Expected return = 8% + 1.2 ( 16% )
Expected return = 27.2%
Abnormal return is the difference of Holding period return and expected return
Abnormal return = 27.2% - 24% = 3.2%
For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017
Answer: B. $892.1 million
Explanation:
The Revenue was $939,393 million
When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.
Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.
Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504
= $87,692 million
Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358
= $40,372 million
The Cash generated is therefore;
= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372
= $892,073
= $892.1 million

Pablo Management has seven employees, each of whom earns $210 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the seven employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, of the same week. The next week, the seven employees worked only four days because New Year's Day was an unpaid Holiday.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry that would be recorded Monday, December 31, 2013.
b. Prepare the journal entry that would be made to record payment of the employees' wages on Friday, Janyary 4, 2014.
Answer:
a) $1,470 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Credit –Wage Payable.
b) $4,410 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Debit –Wage Payable
Explanation:
Remember, we are told each of the worker earns $210 per day. Therefore
a.To record accrued and current wages.Wages expense = 7 workers × 3 days × $210 = $4,410.
b. To record accrued wages four days Cash = 7 workers × 4 days × $210 = $5,880. For one day (7 workers × $210) = $1,470.
A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular sold, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,947,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?
Answer:
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra
Explanation:
Regular - unit sales price= $20; Variables costs per unit = $8
Ultra - unit sales price= $24; Variables costs per unit = $4
combined contribution margin:
1 unit of regular = $20 - $8 = $122 units of ultra = $48 - $8 = $40total = $52break even point = total fixed costs / combined contribution margin = $1,947,000 / $52 = 37,442.31 ≈ 37,443 units
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra

a. 4 years
b. 3.55 years
c. 2.00 years
d. 4.65 years
Answer:
b. 3.55 years
Explanation:
The payback period is basically the amount of time an investor needs to recover his/her initial investment.
lets assume initial investment = $1,000
when you calculate IRR, the present value of the cash flows = initial investment
the present value of an annuity for 4 years and 5% is 3.5460
$1,000 = yearly cash flow x 3.546
yearly cash flow = $1,000 / 3.546 = $282
payback period = $1,000 / 282 = 3.546 years ≈ 3.55 years

The Callie Company has provided the following information: Operating expenses were $244,000; Cost of goods sold was $378,000; Net sales were $940,000; Interest expense was $47,000; Gain on sale of a building was $84,000; Income tax expense was $142,000. What was Callie's gross profit
Answer:
Callie's Gross Profit is $562000
Explanation:
Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.
It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.
The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,
Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000
Callie's Gross Profit = 562000
A high-end clothing manufacturer has a policy to inspect each article of clothing before it is shipped to customers. Recently, the number of finished items that are failing this final inspection has more than doubled from 3% six months ago to 7% last month. This company would benefit from a strategy designed to:
Answer:
Examine the reliability of the process.
Explanation:
As a high end clothing company, it is a very good initiative and welcoming to have clothes that possibly posses global version and global value so it is good for such routine checks to be done. This could be tedious and cost the company more than usual.
In this case where there are a reasonable amount of such clothes failing these routine checks, it is not too good for the company as more re-evaluations are to be done in order to cub the rate at which this is in the last six months. This process of examining the reliability process is the company's best bet to tackle the issue they have at hand.

On March 4 of 1999, XYZ Corporation takes out a $1 million loan. The company pays the interest semiannually. The six-month interest rate is six-month LIBOR 80 basis points, with a cap at 9.25%. Assume that LIBOR is at 8.5% on March 4, 1999, and 7.75% on September 4, 1999. What is the second interest payments on the loan
Answer: $85,500
Explanation:
From the question, we are told XYZ Corporation takes out a $1 million loan and the interest on the loan is paid semiannually.
We are also told that the six-month interest rate is six-month LIBOR 80 basis points, with a cap at 9.25%. Assume that LIBOR is at 8.5% on March 4, 1999, and 7.75% on September 4, 1999.
The second interest payments on the loan will be:
The interest rate will be:
Interest rate = LIBOR + 80bps
= 7.75 + 0.8
= 8.55%
Interest paid in the second period
= $1,000,000 × 8.55%
= $1,000,000 × 0.0855
= $85,500
Note that there is no need for using the cap since the interest didn't exceed 9.25%
