Answer:
a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?
Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.
b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?
Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock
c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.
Aria Acoustics, Inc. (AAI), projects unit sales for a new seven-octave voice emulation implant as follows:Year Unit Sales1 76,0002 89,0003 108,7504 101,5005 68,800Production of the implants will require $2,250,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 20 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $4,700,000 per year, variable production costs are $270 per unit, and the units are priced at $420 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $19,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 25 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 25 percent the required return is 15 percent. MACRS schedulea. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)b. What is the IRR? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
Answer:
NPV = $3,013,537.02
IRR = 20.15%
Explanation:
initial investment $19,500,000
sales revenue per year:
year 1 = 76,000 x $420 = $31,920,000
year 2 = 89,000 x $420 = $37,380,000
year 3 = 108,750 x $420 = $45,675,000
year 4 = 101,500 x $420 = $42,630,000
year 5 = 68,800 x $420 = $28,896,000
change in net working capital:
year 0 = $2,250,000
year 1 = ($37,380,000 - $31,920,000) x 0.2 = $1,092,000
year 2 = ($45,675,000 - $37,380,000) x 0.2 = $1,659,000
year 3 = ($42,630,000 - $45,675,000) x 0.2 = -$609,000
year 4 = ($28,896,000 - $42,630,000) x 0.2 = -$2,746,800
year 5 = -$1,646,000
fixed costs = $4,700,000
contribution margin per unit = $420 - $270 = $150 per unit
resale value at the end of year 5 = $3,900,000
MACRS depreciation 7 year property:
year % depreciation expense
1 14.29% $2,786,550
2 24.49% $4,775,550
3 17.49% $3,410,550
4 12.29% $2,396,550

*net of resale value
net cash flow year 0 = -$19,500,000 - $2,250,000 = -$21,750,000
net cash flow year 1 = [($11,400,000 - $4,700,000 - $2,786,550) x 0.75] + $2,786,550 - $1,092,000 = $4,629,637.50
net cash flow year 2 = [($13,350,000 - $4,700,000 - $4,775,550) x 0.75] + $4,775,550 - $1,659,000 = $6,022,387.50
net cash flow year 3 = [($16,312,500 - $4,700,000 - $3,410,550) x 0.75] + $3,410,550 + $609,000 = $10,171,012.50
net cash flow year 4 = [($15,225,000 - $4,700,000 - $2,396,550) x 0.75] + $2,396,550 + $2,746,800 = $11,239,687.50
net cash flow year 5 = [($10,320,000 - $4,700,000 - $1,255,800) x 0.75] + $1,255,800 + $1,646,000 = $6,174,950
NPV = $3,013,537.02
IRR = 20.15%
In this exercise we will use our knowledge of finance to calculate interest, so we find that:
[tex]NPV = \$3,013,537.02[/tex] [tex]IRR = 20.15\%[/tex]
So knowing that from the initial investment we will obtain the following values per year:
[tex]year 1 = 76,000 * \$420 = \$31,920,000[/tex]
[tex]year 2 = 89,000 * \$420 = \$37,380,000[/tex]
[tex]year 3 = 108,750* \$420 = \$45,675,000[/tex]
[tex]year 4 = 101,500 * \$420 = \$42,630,000[/tex]
[tex]year 5 = 68,800 * \$420 = \$28,896,000[/tex]
So knowing that from the net working capital we will obtain the following values per year:
[tex]year 0 = \$2,250,000\\year 1 = (\$37,380,000 - \$31,920,000) * 0.2 = \$1,092,000\\year 2 = (\$45,675,000 - \$37,380,000) * 0.2 = \$1,659,000\\year 3 = (\$42,630,000 - \$45,675,000) * 0.2 = -\$609,000\\year 4 = (\$28,896,000 - \$42,630,000) * 0.2 = -\$2,746,800\\year 5 = -\$1,646,000[/tex]
Then from the values previously informed we can calculate the cash flow, as:
[tex]year 0 = -\$19,500,000 - \$2,250,000 = -\$21,750,000\\year 1 = [(\$11,400,000 - \$4,700,000 - \$2,786,550) * 0.75] + \$2,786,550 - \$1,092,000 = \$4,629,637.50\\year 2 =\$6,022,387.50\\year 3 = \$10,171,012.50\\year 4 = \$11,239[/tex]

Granite Stone Creamery sold ice cream equipment for $17,600. Granite Stone originally purchased the equipment for $94,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $73,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment
Answer:loss on the sale of the equipment =$3,400
Explanation:
---We first compute the book value of the equipment
Cost of asset=$94,000
accumulated depreciation = $73,000
Book Value of assets = Cost of asset-accumulated depreciation
= $94,000 - $73,000= $21,000
---Gain or Loss on the asset
Sale value of equipment = $17,600
Book value of equpment= $21,000
loss on sale of equipment = Sale value of equipment-Book value of equipment=$17,600- $21,000= -$3,400
cember 31 of each year. Rupar accounts for the bonds as a held-to-maturity investment, and uses the effective interest method. In Rupar's December 31, 2021, journal entry to record the second period of interest, Rupar would record a credit to interest revenue of
Answer:
B. $3,373
Explanation:
The computation is given below:
For Held- to -Maturity investment
Face Value of the bond = 100,000
Coupon rate = 6%, for Semi-annual Period should 6% ÷ 2 = 3%
Effective rate = 7% For Semi-annual Period should be 7% ÷ 2 = 3.5%
Now
Purchase Price of the Bond is
= 100,000 - 4000
= 96,000
Now
First interest :
Cash interest = 100,000 × 3% = 3,000
interest Revenue = 96,000 × 3.5% = 3,360
So,
Discount Amortized is
= 3360 - 3,000
= 360
And,
Carrying Value of the Bond should be
= 96,000 + 360
= 96,360
For Second YEar
Interest Revenue = Carrying Value Effective interest Rate
= 96,360 × 3.5%
= 3,372.6
= $3,373

Bland Foods purchased a two-year fire and extended coverage insurance policy on August 1, 2003, and charged the $4,200 premium to Insurance expense. At its December 31, 2003, year-end, Bland Foods would record which of the following adjusting entries?A) Insurance expense 875 Prepaid insurance 875
B) Prepaid insurance 875 Insurance expense 875
C) Insurance expense 875
Prepaid insurance 3,325
Insurance payable 4,200
D) Prepaid insurance 3,325
Insurance expense 3,325
Answer:
D) Prepaid insurance 3,325
Insurance expense 3,325
Explanation:
insurance cost per month = $4,200 / 24 months = $175 per month
August, September, October, November and December = 5 months = $875
$4,200 - $875 = $3,325
The correct journal entries should have been:
August 1, 2003, purchased 2 year insurance policy
Dr Prepaid insurance 4,200
Cr Cash 4,200
December 31, 2003, accrued insurance expense
Dr Insurance expense 875
Cr Prepaid insurance 875
But, since the purchase was incorrectly journalized as:
Dr Insurance expense 4,200
Cr Cash 4,200
the adjusting entry must be:
Dr Prepaid insurance 3,325
Cr insurance expense 3,325
A security company offers to provide CCTV coverage for a parking garage for ten years for an initial payment of $45,000 and additional payments of $25,000 per year. What is the equivalent annual annuity of this deal, given a cost of capital of 4%?
Answer:
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
Explanation:
The equivalent annuity is the annual cash cash flows that is the same in value to the present value of the total cost associated with providing the CCTV coverage.
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
To determine the total prsent value of cost associated with CCTV would sum the present value of the additional payment for 10 years and the initial cost.
Initial cost - 45,000
Additional payment = 25,000
PV of additional payment = A× 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r
= 25,000 × 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04 = 202,772.39
Total PV of cost = 202,772.39 + 45,000 = 247,772.39
Total PV of cost = 247,772.39
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r = ( 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04) = 8.1109
Equivalent Annual Annuity =247,772.39 /8.1109 = 30,548.09
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
A self-employed client has an annual income of $200,000 and is in a high tax bracket. He is not covered by a retirement plan and would like to make the maximum contribution to one to reduce his taxable income. He believes that he will be in a lower tax bracket once he retires. The BEST recommendation is to contribute to a:
Answer:
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP)
Explanation:
Simplified employee pension IRA is most suitable for this client because it is easy to set up and operate. Most importantly it requires a maximum of 20% of the contributor's income. The amount required is capped at $54,000.
In this case 20% of the employee's income is 0.20 * 200,000 = $40,000
So this is a right fit.
Roth IRA will not work because maximum contribution is $5,500
Traditional IRA will also not work because it requires a maximum contribution of $5,500 or when it is a 401(k) plan a maximum of $18,000. It is also expensive to set up and operate as it is designed for big companies.
If there were 40000 pounds of raw materials on hand on January 1, 130000 pounds are desired for inventory at January 31, and 310000 pounds are required for January production, how many pounds of raw materials should be purchased in January
Answer:Pound of raw materials needed to be purchased = 400000 pounds
Explanation:
Opening inventory at January 1 =40000 pounds
Closing inventory at January 31- =130000 pounds
Pounds required for production ==310000 Pounds
Pound of raw materials needed to be purchased= Pounds required for production + Closing inventory at January 31 --Opening inventory at January 1 =
=310, 000 pounds+130, 000 pounds -40000 pounds
=400000 pounds
Which of these inventory changes would be accounted for prospectively? Select one: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO b. LIFO to FIFO, but not FIFO to LIFO c. Both FIFO to LIFO and LIFO to FIFO d. Neither FIFO to LIFO nor LIFO to FIFO
Answer: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO
Explanation:
Well the inventory changes which would likely be accounted for is the FIFO ( first in first out system ) to LIFO ( last in first out system ). But not the LIFO ( last in first out ) to FIFO ( first in first out ). This system are mostly used in sales where for FIFO the first goods to arrive leaves first and for LIFO the opposite of FIFO
Wayne, Inc., wishes to expand its facilities. The company currently has 5 million shares outstanding and no debt. The stock sells for $40 per share, but the book value per share is $10. Net income is currently $4 million. The new facility will cost $50 million, and it will increase net income by $820,000. Assume a constant price-earnings ratio.
a-1. Calculate the new book value per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-2. Calculate the new EPS. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
a-3. Calculate the new stock price. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-4. Calculate the new market-to-book ratio. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
b. What would the new net income for the company have to be for the stock price to remain unchanged? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
a-1. Calculate the new book value per share.
current book value = stocks outstanding x book value = 5,000,000 x $10 = $50,000,000
new book value = $50,000,000 + $50,000,000 = $100,000,000
new stocks issued = $50,000,000 / $40 = 1,250,000
total stocks outstanding = 5,000,000 + 1,250,000 = 6,250,000
new book value per stock = $100,000,000 / 6,250,000 = $16
a-2. Calculate the new EPS.
old EPS = $4,000,000 / 5,000,000 = $0.80 per stock
new EPS = $4,850,000 / 6,250,000 = $0.776 per stock
a-3. Calculate the new stock price.
price to earnings ratio = $40 / $0.80 = 50
new stock price:
50 = new stock price / $0.776
new stock price = 50 x $0.776 = $38.80
a-4. Calculate the new market-to-book ratio.
market to book ratio = market capitalization / book value = $242,500,000 / $100,000,000 = 2.425
b. What would the new net income for the company have to be for the stock price to remain unchanged?
0.8 = net income / 6,250,000
net income = 6,250,000 x 0.8 = $5,000,000
To judge whether a particular diversification move has good potential for building added shareholder value, the move should pass the following tests:___________.
A) the attractiveness test, the barrier-to-entry test, and the growth test.
B) the strategic fit test, the resource fit test, and the profitability test.
C) the barrier-to-entry test, the growth test, and the shareholder value test.
D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.
E) the resource fit test, the strategic fit test, the profitability test, and the shareholder value test.
Answer:
D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.
Explanation:
To judge a diversification change, an organization needs to pass the attractiveness tests, the entry cost test and the best situation test.
These tests will be decisive to analyze the potential that diversification will have to create added value for the shareholder.
The attractiveness test will list the ability that the market has to ensure that there is a safe return on investments.
The cost-of-entry will aim to ensure that when entering a new sector, the organization does not have higher costs that can influence the generation of profitability.
Finally, the better-off test will analyze whether the planned diversification will be so profitable that it will help to improve the performance of the integration of organizational businesses.

Explanation:
Activity-Based Costing: Selling and Administrative Expenses Jungle Junior Company manufactures and sells outdoor play equipment. Jungle Junior uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of the sales order processing and the customer return activity. The sales order processing activity has an activity rate of $20 per sales order, and the customer return activity has an activity rate of $100 per return. Jungle Junior sold 2,500 swing sets, which consisted of 750 orders and 80 returns.
Required:
a. Determine the total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets.
b. Determine the per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer: 1}ToTAL Activity cost =$23,000
2a) Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale=$6.00
2b)customer return activity per unit sale=$3.20
Explanation:
a. total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets
Sales order Processing Activity =Number of orders x rate per sales order
=750 x 20 = $15,000
customer return activity = Number of returns x rate per return
= 80 x 100= $8,000
ToTAL Activity cost = Sales order Processing Activity +customer return activity= $15,000 + $8000 = $23,000
b)per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets
Cost of Sale order processing = $15,000
Number of swing set sold = 2,500
Therefore Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale = Cost of Sale order processing/ Number of swing set sold = $15,000/ 2,500= $6.00
customer return activity cost = $8,000
Number of swing set sold = 2,500
Therefore customer return activity per unit sale= customer return activity cost / Number of swing set sold = $8,000/ 2,500= $3.20
ToTAL Activity cost per unit sale = Sales order Processing Activity cost per unit +customer return activity cost per unit = $6.00 + $3.20 = $9.20

The following information describes the production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 28,000 lbs. at $4.90 per lb.
Actual direct labor used 8,650 hours for a total of $174,730
Actual units produced 51,600
The budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $6.85 per pound and 10 minutes of direct labor at $21.20 per hour.
1. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances. Do not round intermediate calculations.
2. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Actual Quantity = 28,000
Actual Price = 4.90
Standard Quantity = 25,800
Standard Price = 4.85
1)a. Direct Material Price variance = (Standard price – Actual Price)*Actual Quantity
= (4.85 - 4.90) * 28,000
= $1,400 U
b. Direct Material Quantity variance = (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)*Standard price
= (51,600*0.5 - 28,000)*4.85
= $10,670 U
2) a. Direct Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate)*Actual Hours
= (21.20 - 20.2) * 8,650
= $8,650 F
b. Direct Labor Efficiency variance = (Standard Hours – Actual Hours)*Standard rate
= (51,600*1/6 - 8,650) * 21.20
= $1,060 U
The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 8,100 hours Actual total labor cost $119,880 Actual output 800 units What is the labor rate variance for the month?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirement. But, I will provide an example and the formula to guide an answer.
For example:
Standard rate per hour= $15
Actual hours worked 8,100 hours
Actual total labor cost $119,880
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 119,880/8,100= $14.8
Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 14.8)*8,100
Direct labor rate variance= $1,620 favorable

Answer:
Pricing objectives refer to the goals that drive how your business sets prices for your product or service. These objectives can and should apply to pricing for both new and existing customers. The direction provided by pricing objectives is crucial to adjusting prices over time in order to meet your objectives.
Your friend Wanda established her gourmet dog treat business, Salty Pawz, using personal funds, since she initially sold her products only to friends and family and was able to pay for everything as she went along. Now that the business is growing, she knows she cannot finance the expansion out of her own pocket, so she is considering taking out a loan. She has no experience with financial institutions, other than the basics such as managing her personal bank accounts, a credit card, a mortgage and a car loan, all of which are with the local credit union.
You offer to help out Wanda by explaining the various options available to her at this stage in her business’s development. Write an email to her addressing the following areas:
Describe 2 options Wanda has for raising capital for her business (for example
1. take a term loan (eg 1 year)
2. look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in her company
-Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each funding method.
-Offer a recommendation for the method you feel is the best fit for Wanda’s business. Be sure to include your reasons for making that recommendation.
Based on the advantages and disadvantages for each type of financing mentioned below, the best method for financing the expansion for Wanda's business is taking a loan (e.g. 1 year).
Take a term loan (e.g. 1 year)
A term loan is best described as an amount provided by the bank for a fixed amount and a agreed payment schedule with an interest rate either fixed or floating.
The main advantage of a bank loan is that it would not be repaid on demand instead it would be paid back as per schedule within a period of 1 to 10 years. Another advantage is that you would only have to pay the bank the interest rate and not the company's profit or share.
The disadvantage is that when loans are taken, then the amount (principal) and interest is to be repaid even if the loan is not being used. Another possible disadvantage is that a loan can be obtained if you have any asset (such as a house or car) to be kept as security. This is a guarantee in the likely event the bank's loan is not repaid on time.
Look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in the company
This means finding individuals/institutions to provide financing as capital to be used in business for expansion.
Unlike a bank loan, here the investors accept the risk that if the business fails then their financing would be lost. Therefore, if the business ends up in losses then the amount is not required to be returned to their respective financiers. Another advantage is that you don't require any credit history to earn financing through investors.
The main disadvantage is that the sharing (profits) are divided between multiple investors based on their investment or as per their agreed sharing ratio. Moreover, the new investors might prefer to take more risks for a business to grow and which means that the stakes are always high.
In conclusion, Wanda is working on a small business and which is expanding at a slow rate with the risk being kept at a bare minimum. In which case taking a loan with amount and duration being set at a point where she would be able to return the loan acquired, is a better financing option for Wanda's business.

You are aware that your neighbor trades stocks based on confidential information he overhears at his workplace. This information is not available to the general public. This neighbor continually brags to you about the profits he earns on these trades. Given this, you would tend to argue that the financial markets are at best _____ form efficient.
Answer:
Semi-strong Form Efficient.
Explanation:
There are three levels of market efficiency as weak, semi-strong and strong.
In a semi-strong form efficient market, the stock prices change independently of the previous return points and the current information so it is not possible to predict the future stock prices.
The example given in the question, which states that the neighbor has non-public information, can be classified as a semi-strong form efficient market.

Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.
Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?
Answer:
Price of bond= $75,075.58
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).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of the bond for Akers Company can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000
Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 = 5% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
3000 × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 = 37,386.63
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) = 37,688.95
Price of bond
Price of bond = 37,386.63 + 37,688.95 = 75,075.58
Price of bond= $75,075.58

COMPENSANTING DIFFERENTIALS
TALEN/ABILTY
1. Both Riley and his twin brother, Roland, work for a package delivery company. Riley delivers cookies and cakes to local grocery stores and makes $18/hour. Roland, who is responsible for the transport of chemicals to and from the local university, earns $25/hour.
2. Bert works for the county animal shelter and is ranked consistently as the top dog catcher in the state. When asked how he is able to convince so many stray dogs to answer to him, Bert says it just comes naturally. As a result, Bert earns a salary about 15% higher than most other dog catchers.
3. Rosalie and Henry work at a nursery where they grow sunflowers. Rosalie works all day in the hot sun, planting and harvesting sunflowers, where she earns $34/hour. Henry, on the other hand, works inside the air conditioned warehouse, drying and roasting sunflower seeds, and earns $22/hour.
4. Simon and Denise both work as 3rd grade teachers at Riverbend Elementary School. Simon, who has a Master\'s Degree, earns $45,000 a year while Denise, who has only a Bachelor\'s Degree, earns $39,000 a year.
5. Bernice is an avid baseball fan and during a recent trip to watch her favorite team, the California Stars, she is selected to throw out the opening pitch as part of a fan appreciation event. Surprisingly, she throws an amazing 110mph pitch, which she says is easy to do, and is signed to a $15 million contract the next week.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Compensating differentials: Riley works a less risky job and is therefore paid less than his twin Rowland who drives Chemicals to and fro and is considered to do a more risky make job
2.talent/ability: Bert has a a natural talent and ability
3.Compensating differentials: Rosalie works harder than Henry and so earns more than him
4.Human Capital: Simon is paid more as he is considered to have more knowledge and experience. He is a masters degree while Denise has a bachelor's degree which is considered lower in valuing human capital in an organization.
5.Talent/ability:Bernice has a natural talent and ability

a country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice

Alpha Company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a levered firm with $ million of debt financing at % interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $ million and shares outstanding. The levered firm will have shares outstanding. a. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes. b. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is %. c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha Company? a. What is the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes?
Complete Question:
Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.
a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.
b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%
c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?
Answer:
Alpha Company
a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:
= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares
= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000
= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000
dividing by 200,000:
EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000
EBIT = $320,000
b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000
= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000
EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000
= $224,000
c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same. When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Alternative 1: All Equity:
No. of shares = 400,000
Value of shares = $4,000,000
Debt = $0
Interest on Debt = $0
Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:
No. of shares = 200,000
Value of shares = $2,000,000
Debt = $2,000,000
Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000
b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2. This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.

Media Bias Inc. issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 35-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return 5 % Inflation premium 4 Risk premium 4 Total return 13 % Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 25 years remaining until maturity.
Answer:
remaining time to maturity 25 years, annual coupon
face value $1,000
when the bonds were issued, the market interest rate was 13%, which was identical to the coupon rate, therefore, the bonds were sold at par
now, 10 years later, the market interest rate is 12% (1% less), so the current market price is:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 12%)²⁵ = $58.82
PV of coupon payments = $130 x 7.8431 (PV annuity factor, 25 periods, 12%) = $1,019.63
bond's current market price = $58.82 + $1,019.63 = $1,078.45
