Masterson, Inc., has 3.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $85.50, and the book value per share is $9.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $73 million, a coupon rate of 5.3 percent, and sells for 95.7 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $45 million, a coupon rate of 5.9 percent, and sells for 104.9 percent of par. The first issue matures in 23 years, the second in 11 years. The most recent dividend was $4.04 and the dividend growth rate is 4.3 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 23 percent.
1. What is the company's cost of equity?
2. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
3. What is the company's weight of equity?
4. What is the company's weight of debt?
5. What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
1. 9.03 %
2. 7.56 %
3. 72.45 %
4. 27.55 %
5. 8.63 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks
Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043
= 0.0903 or 9.03 %
1st bond issue
PV = $69,861,000
Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500
p/y = 2
n = 23 × 2 = 46
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %
After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %
= 1.66%
2nd Bond Issue
PV = $47,205,000
Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500
p/y = 2
n = 11 × 2 = 22
Fv = 0
i = ?
Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %
After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %
= 5.90%
Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%
= 7.56 %
Market Values :
Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50
= $307,800,000
Market Value of Bonds
1st Issues = $69,861,000
2nd Issue = $47,205,000
Total = $117,066,000
Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value
= $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 72.45 %
Weight of debt = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value
= $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)
= 27.55 %
WACC = Weighted Cost of Debt + Weighted Cost of Equity
= 27.55 % × 7.56 % + 72.45 % × 9.03 %
= 8.63 %

Calgary Lumber Company incurs a cost of $315 per hundred board feet (hbf) in processing certain "rough-cut" lumber, which it sells for $440 per hbf. An alternative is to produce a "finished-cut" at a total processing cost of $465 per hbf, which can be sold for $600 per hbf. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 15 on whether to sell rough-cut lumber (Alternative 1) or process further into finished-cut lumber (Alternative 2).
Answer:
Calgary Lumber Company
Differential Analysis dated March 15:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Sell rough-cut Lumber Process to finished-cut
Sales $440 $600
Cost of processing 315 465
Profit $125 $135
Choose Alternative 2.
Explanation:
Calgary Lumber Company's differential analysis is a tool that its management can use to decide the alternative to pursue by examining the differences in the outcomes of two or more alternative actions. From the analysis done between the two alternatives open to Calgary, it appears that the second alternative will yield a higher profit of $135 instead of alternative 1's profit of $125. There is a differential profit of $10 per hundred board feet to be made if Calgary Lumber Company pursues alternative 2 instead of alternative 1.
You are considering two ways of financing a spring break vacation. You could put it on your credit card, at 17% APR, compounded monthly, or borrow the money from youe parents, who want an interest payment of 6% every six months. which is the lower rate? (Dont round intermediate steps to decimal places)
Answer: Parent's rate is lower.
Explanation:
The lower rate will be the lower Effective Annual rate, the formula of which is;
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
Credit Card
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + \frac{0.17}{12})^{12} - 1\\= 0.184[/tex]
= 18.4%
From your parents
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + 0.07) ^{2} - 1\\= 0.1449[/tex]
= 14.5%
Parent's rate is lower.
The Restaurant Group manufactures the bags of frozen French fries used at its franchised restaurants. Last week, purchased and used pounds of potatoes at a price of per pound. During the week, 2,100 direct labor hours were incurred in the plant at a rate of $12.45 per hour. The standard price per pound of potatoes is $1.00, and the standard direct labor rate is $12.15 per hour. Standards indicate that for the number of bags of frozen fries produced, the factory should have used 95,000 pounds of potatoes and 2,000 hours of direct labor.
1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances. 2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in Requirement 1.3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. 4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to the material's variances? Explain.
Answer:
Explanation:
The question was missing the actual amount of potatoes used and their actual price = 98,000 pounds at $0.85 per pound:
1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances.
direct materials price variance = AQ x (AP - SP) = 98,000 x ($0.85 - $1) = $14,700 favorable
direct material quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $1 x (98,000 - 95,000) = $3,000 unfavorable
2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in Requirement 1
Since the actual price of potatoes was less than the standard price, the price variance was favorable. But since the actual quantity used was more than the standard quantity, the quantity variance was unfavorable.
3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variances.
direct labor rate variance = AH x (AR - SR) = 2,100 x ($12.45 - $12.15) = $630 unfavorable
direct labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH - SH) = $14.15 x (2,100 - 2,000) = $1,415 unfavorable
4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to the material's variances?
Probably the labor efficiency variance since more materials had to be processed, but the labor rate variance is completely independent from the materials variances.

What is the difference between an optimistic approach and a pessimistic approach to decision making under assumed uncertainty
Answer:
The optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the best' while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the worst'.
Explanation:
Decision making under assumed uncertainty is an approach that is taken when the outcomes of future events are not entirely known. The Hurwicz criterion provides a basis on which the pessimistic and optimistic outcomes can be balanced. This criterion allows the person who makes the decision to chose a coefficient of pessimism signified by alpha (α) and it is a decimal that is graded between 0 and 1. This number signifies the worst possible outcome whereas, the number (1-α) signifies the best outcome.
So, the optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and allows the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the best', while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the worst'
If accounting profits for a firm are 20% of output, and the opportunity cost of financial capital is 8% of output, then what do the firm's economic profits equal
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
The Economic profits for a firm refers to the revenue received less all implicit and explicit costs.
The implicit costs would be all the costs associated with the inputs into the goods sold and explicit costs will be the opportunity cost.
Accounting profits already account for implicit costs so the formula for Economic profit is;
= Accounting profit - Opportunity cost
= 20% - 8%
= 12%
Based on the information given the firm's economic profits equal 12% of output.
Economic profit:Using this formula
Economic profit=Accounting profit - Opportunity cost
Where:
Accounting profit=20%
Opportunity cos=8%

NewTech purchases computer equipment for $154,000 to use in operating activities for the next four years. It estimates the equipment’s salvage value at $25,000.Required:Prepare a table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation = $129,000
Net book value after years = Salvage value = $25,000
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.
Double-declining-balance is a depreciation method in which an asset is depreciated at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.
For this question, the depreciation rate can be obtained as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of years of operating activities = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
This can be done as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%
The 50% double-declining depreciation rate is therefore used in the attached excel file table.
Note that there the depreciation expenses in Year 4 is zero because the asset has already been fully depreciated in year 3 since there is a salvage value of $25,000 that must be maintained at the end of Year 4.

Given money demand, by how much would the Moola central bank need to change the money supply to close the output gap?
Answer:
A. 5%
B. $20
C.-$20
D. $100 increase
E.$2
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the equilibrium interest rate in Moola
When we look at the table we would actually see that Money supply amount of $500 equal the Money demand amount of $500 which means that the equilibrium interest rate will be 5 percent.
b. The level of investment at the equilibrium interest rate.
Since we have 5% as the equilibrium interest rate which means that the investment at the equilibrium interest rate will be $20.
c. If we look at table we are going to see that the potential GDP of the amount of $330 and the actual GDP of the amount of $350 are beside the interest rate of 5 percent and we could as well see that actual GDP is lower than potential GDP which means that there is negative recessionary GDP gap.
Hence,
Recessionary GDP gap= Actual GDP - Potential GDP
Recessional GDP gap=Actual GDP $330- Potential GDP=-$20
Therefore-$20 will be the recessionary GDP gap.
d. In order for us to eliminate the recessionary gap, so that actual GDP amount can equal potential GDP , this means we have to increase the money supply to the amount of $600 which will inturn lead to an increase of $100
e. Calculation for the expenditure multiplier,
Expenditure multiplier=(Potential GDP $350-Actual GDP $330)/($20-$10)
Expenditure multiplier=$20/10
Expenditure multiplier=$2
Therefore the Expenditure multiplier will be $2
