Fortune Enterprises is an all-equity firm that is considering issuing $13.5 million of perpetual debt. The interest rate is 10%. The firm will use the proceeds of the bond sale to repurchase equity. Fortune distributes all earnings available to stockholders immediately as dividends. The firm will generate $3 million of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) every year into perpetuity. Fortune is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%. Suppose the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, and the personal tax rate on equity income is 20%.

What is the annual after-tax cash flow to debt holders under each plan?

a. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 1.2 mil. under the levered plan
b. Debt holders get $1.2 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
c. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan

Answers

Answer:

d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan

Explanation:

interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000

generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).

under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.

under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500

Answers

Answer:

Decrease by $250,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what would be the effect on net income.

We would be using Differential Analysis method to find the effect on the net income

Differential Analysis

Continue with Luggage Department; Eliminate Luggage Department; Effect on Income

Sales

1,000,000 0 -1,000,000

Variable cost

-250,000 0 250,000

Direct fixed costs

-500,000 0 500,000

Indirect fixed costs

-300,000 -300,000 0

Net Income

-$50,000 -$300,000 -$250,000

Therefore in a situation where the luggage department is eliminated, the income would decrease by $250,000

A. Payback period
B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
C. Simple Rate of Return
D. Net Present Value

Answers

Answer:

A. Payback period

payback period = 2.875 years, therefore, the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than 3 years.

B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

IRR = 22.69%, therefore, the project should be accepted since the IRR is higher than the required rate of return (8%).  

C. Simple Rate of Return

simple rate of return = 18%, therefore, the project should be accepted because the simple rate of return is higher than the required rate of return.

D. Net Present Value

NPV = $4,647.85 , therefore, the project should be accepted since the NPV is positive.

Explanation:

year          cash flow

4                 $3,200

5                 $2,800

6                 $2,400

discount rate 8%

I used a financial calculator to determine the NPV and IRR.

Payback period = $10,000 - $2,400 - $4,800 = $2,800 / $3,200 = 0.875

payback period = 2.875 years

simple rate of return:

average cash flow = ($2,400 + $4,800 + $3,200 + $3,200 + $2,800 + $2,400) / 6 = $3,467

depreciation expense per year = $10,000 / 6 = $1,667

simple rate of return = ($3,467 - $1,667) / $10,000 = 18%

Answer:

Pretax income= $133,900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $175

New unitary variable cost= $132

New fixed costs= 315,000 + 37,000= 352,000

Now, we can determine the new operating income:

Sales= 11,300*175= 1,977,500

Total variable cost= 11,300*132= (1,491,600)

Total contribution margin= 485,900

Fixed costs= (352,000)

Pretax income= 133,900

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Messaging systems range from semi-public systems such as standard text messaging on mobile phones, to private systems that are closed to anyone outside of invited members.

A messaging system can be defined as an electronic device which enables users to send text messages to one or more users depending on the configuration and it ranges from semi-public systems to private systems.

In a semi-public messaging system, messages can be sent between users with little or no restriction to who can send or receive these messages. An example is sending short standard text on mobile phones.

On the other hand, a private messaging system is a type of system that denies access to individuals outside of the group, only invited members are able to send and receive messages.

2. 28.04%

3. $101,000

4. 1.97

5. 0.98

Explanation:

Return On Investment (ROI) = Net Profit After Tax / Total Assets × 100

                                              = $53,000 / $ 315,000 × 100

                                              = 16.825 or 16.83%

Return On Equity (ROE) =Net Profit After Tax / Total Shareholders Funds × 100

                                       = $53,000 / $ 189,000 × 100

                                       = 28.0423 or 28.04 %

Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

                           = $ 205,000 - $ 104,000

                           = $101,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

                       = $ 205,000 / $ 104,000

                       = 1.9712 or 1.97

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

                         = ($ 205,000 - $ 103,000) / $ 104,000

Question:

Exodus Limousine Company has $1,000 par value bonds outstanding at 15 percent interest. The bonds will mature in 30 years. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Compute the current price of the bonds if the percent yield to maturity is 10%

Note the tutor added 10% as the yield

Answer:

Price of bond= $1,471.35

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond  Exodus Limousine Company can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A-annul interest payment:

= 15% × 1,000 = 150

r-Annual yield = 10%  

n-Maturity period = 30

PV of interest payment:  

=150× (1- (1+0.1)^(-30)/0.1= 1,414.037

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1000 × (1.1)^(-30) = 57.308

Step 3

Price of bond

=1,414.037 + 57.308 = 1,471.345

Price of bond= $1,471.345

Starset Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $425,000 is estimated to result in $169,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the 5-year MACRS class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $69,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $28,000, along with an additional $3,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent.
1. Calculate the NPV of this project.
2. Should the company buy and install the machine press?
A. No.
B. Yes.

Answers

Answer:

96,287

Explanation:

Cost of Machine $425,000

5 years MACRS rate is

Year 1 - 425,000 * 20% = 85,000

Year 2 - 425,000 * 32% = 136,000

Year 3 - 425,000 * 19.20% = 81,600

Year 4 - 425,000 * 11.52% = 48,960

Total depreciation in 4 years = 351,560

New Book Value of asset = 73,440

Salvage value at the end of 4 years = 69,000

Gain on disposal = 4,440

The NPV can be calculated based on tax savings

169000 for 4 years using annuity at 23% rate.

The NPV of the project is;

-425,000 + 251,787 + 169,000 +3,500 + 28,000 + 69000

Net Present Value = 96,287

An account is today credited with its annual interest thereby bringing the accountbalance to $12,490. The interest rate is 5.70% compounded annually. You plan tomake annual withdrawals of $1,450 each. The first withdrawal is in exactly one yearand the last in exactly 9 years. Find the account balance immediately after the lastwithdrawal.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the account balance be B .

Equating the present value of money at 5.7 % discount

12490 = 1450 ( PVIFA , 5.7 , 9 ) + B ( PVIF , 5.7 , 9 )

= 1450 x 6.8938 + .6072  x B

= 9996.01 + .6072B

.6072 B = 2494

B = 4107

Equipment           $150,000

Acc. Depreciation   112,000

Book value            $38,000

Cash received      $38,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Equipment Account:

Beginning balance $750,000

Ending balance        600,000

Sale of equipment $150,000

Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment account:

Beginning balance     $500,000

b) The Cash received from the sale of Mercury Company's equipment is equal to the book value in Year 2 according to the question.  Since the book value (value after accumulated depreciation) is $38,000, that means that the equipment was sold at $38,000 recording no profit or loss for the company on the sale.

On the first day of 2016, Holthausen COmpany acquired the assets of Leftwich Company including several intangible assests. These include a patent on Ledtwicj's primary product, a device called a plentiscope. Leftwich carried the patent on its book for $1,500, but Holthausen believes that the fair value is $200,000. The patent expires in seven years, but companies can be expected to develop competing patents within three years. Holthausen believes that, with expected technlogical improvements, the product is marketable for a t least 20 years.
The registration of the trademark for the Leftwich name is scheduled to expire in 15 years. However, the Leftwich brand name, which Holthausen believes is worth $500,000, could be applied to related products for many years beyond that.
As part of the acquisition, Leftwich's principal researcher left the company. As part of the acquisition, he signed a five-year noncompetition agreement that prevents him from developing competing products. Holthausen paid the scientist $300,000 to sign the agreement.
a. What amount should be capitalized for each of teh identifiable intangible assets?
b. What amount of amortization expense should Holthausen record in 2016 for each asset?

Answers

Answer:

Holthausen Company and Leftwich Company

Intangible Assets:

a) Amount to be capitalized:

1) Patent: $200,000

2) Trademark: $500,000

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000

b) Amount of Amortization Expense for 2016:

1) Patent: $200,000/7 years = $28,571.43

2) Trademark: $500,000/15 years = $33,333,33

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000/5 = $60,000

Explanation:

The fair values of the "plentiscope" patent and Leftwich's branded trademark should be capitalized as intangible assets, while the cost of the non-competition agreement with Leftwich's principal researcher should be capitalized.

For the amortization of the Leftwich-connected intangibles, we have adopted the straight-line method, in the absence of any prescribed method.  The patent expiration in 7 years was used as the basis for its useful life, despite Holthausen belief that the product could be marketable for at least 20 years.

The trademark was amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years as given, while the non-competition agreement was amortized for 5 years when the agreement remains effective.

On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.

At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:


Revenues 65,550   Machine 13,590   Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250   Other assets 27,710  Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300  Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000

Required:

Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.

Answers

Answer:

Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520

Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200

Explanation:

To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;

Revenue    $65,550

Expenses   $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)

Net Income $26,300

Noncontrolling percentage = 40%

NonControlling Income = $10,520

Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]

= 3,200

Answers

Answer:

Note: The missing part of the question is "using variable costing  and absorption costing. Explain the difference"

Solution

According to variable costing, the unit cost based was

= $8.20 + $11.20 + $9.20

= $28.6

According to absorption costing,

Total Manufacturing costs= Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $8.20 + $11.20 + ($386,400/42,000 units) + $9.20

= $8.20 + $11.20 + $9.2 + $9.2

= $37.8

The difference between the variable costing and the absorption cost is because the product costing using variable costing method only includes variable costs.

The burn down chart for a team showed a peculiar trend. It started dropping rapidly at the beginning of the Sprint and then seemed to plateau in the middle. A day before the Sprint, the line dipped rapidly and reached the horizontal axis. Whiat is the most likely reason for this trend?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In the scenario being described, it is the most likely that the team encountered a major blocking issue in the middle of the Sprint which was resolved only toward the end. This can be deduced from the graph due to it plateauing in the middle, which usually happens when tasks are not finishing, which ultimately causes a blocking issue and since the chart went back to normal afterwards, they most likely resolved the blocking issue.

Mary buys an annuity that promises to pay her $1,500 at the end of each of the next 20 years. The appropriate interest rate is 7.5%. What is the value of this 20-year annuity today?

Answers

Answer:

PV= $15,291.74

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual cash flow= $1,5000

Number of years= 20

Interest rate= 7.5%

To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {1,500*[(1.075^20) - 1]} / 0.075

FV= $64,957.02

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 64,957.02/(1.075^20)

PV= $15,291.74

Computer equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $57,000 that has an estimated residual value of $9,000 and an estimated useful life of five years. Determine the second-year depreciation using the straight-line method.

Answers

Answer:

$9,600

Explanation:

When you use the straight line depreciation method, the depreciation expense is the same for every year. The only difference can result if the asset was purchased during the year, and the depreciation for year 1 would only be partial and proportionate to the number of months of use.

In this case, the depreciation expense per year = (purchase price - residual value) / useful life = ($57,000 - $9,000) / 5 = $48,000 / 5 = $9,600 per year (the depreciation expense is the same for all the five years).

Calculation of the Net Present Value of this Investment is as follows ;

Hint : Find the Present Value of individual deposits and sum them up

PV = FV / (1 + r) ^n

Year 0  =  $1000 / (1.07)^0

            =  $1,000

Year 1  =  $3000 / (1.07)^1

            =  $2,804

Year 2  =  $5000 / (1.07)^2

            =  $4,367

Year 2  =  $7000 / (1.07)^3

            =  $5,714

Net Present Value = $1,000 + $2,804 + $4,367 + $5,714

                               = $13,855
