Honeycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,700 shares of stock and $109,250 in debt. Plan II would result in 9,800 shares of stock and $247,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent. The all-equity plan would result in 15,000 shares of stock outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. a. What is the price per share of equity under Plan I
Answer: $47.50
Explanation:
The Price per share under Plan I can be calculated by the formula;
Price per share = Value of debt / (Number of shares under all-equity plan - Number of shares under Plan)
= 109,250 / ( 15,000 - 12,700)
= 109,250 / 2,300
= $47.50
Discuss the following issues relating to Modigliani and Miller’s (MM) 1958 capital structure model.
A. What was the importance of the model?
B. What are the basic assumptions of the model?
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:Modigliani & Miller's theorem helps understanding the value of the company, the factors that results in change in the value of the company and the financial risk that increases the firm's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
M & M proposition 1:
The M & M proposition 1 (or M & M without Tax model) says that the value of the firm remains the same no matter what is the percentage of debt and equity in the capital structure hence the primary focus of the management must be to decrease cost and increase the return on the investment.
M & M proposition 2:
However later, due to increased critism of not considering the tax implications on the WACC, M & M presented a modified model which is also known as M & M With Tax Model. In it he acknowledges the importance of tax in calculating the WACC and he is of the opinion that the injection of the debt reduces the WACC. Hence the maximum level of debt must be used to exploit all the available investment opportunities.
The value of the company can be calculated using the following formula:
Value of the Company = Free Cash flow * (1 + g) / (WACC - g)
The changes in the capital structure results in changes to firm's WACC which changes the value of the company. This clearly shows that if the WACC can be reduced then the value of the firm would increased. Hence M & M model is useful in predicting the Optimal Capital structure that would give lowest WACC and thus highest value of the company.
Requirement 2:The basic assumptions of M & M proposition without tax Model are as under:
There are no transaction costs on trading of securitiesThere are no taxes.The market is perfect market which means that the investor and the corporation have same information which doesn't impacts the decision making of both entities.The Floatation costs are zero which means that their are no issuance costs, listing expenses, etc.The taxes on the Dividend distribution are also zero.The basic assumptions of M & M proposition with tax Model are as under:

Answer: 9.71%
Explanation:
The expected 1 year rate 2 years from now is given by;
[tex](1 + Rate_{2 years})^{2} * (1 + Rate_{1 year}) = (1 + Rate_{3 years})^{3}[/tex]
2 years rate = 8.20%
3 year rate = 8.7%
[tex](1 + Rate_{2 years})^{2} * (1 + Rate_{1 year}) = (1 + Rate_{3 years})^{3}[/tex]
[tex](1.082)^{2} * (1 + Rate_{1 year}) = (1.087)^{3}\\\\Rate_{1 year} = \frac{(1.087)^{3}}{(1.082)^{2}} - 1\\\\= \frac{1.284365503}{1.604588091037263424} - 1\\\\= 0.0971\\[/tex]

Kate invests $500 at the beginning of each year for 12 years into a fund earning an effective annual interest rate of 5%. Interest is paid on the fund at the end of each year. Kate takes each interest payment and reinvests it in another fund earning a rate of 4%. Find the combined value of Kate's two funds at the end of year 12
Answer:
$7,888.55
Explanation:
we can prepare Katie's expected balance on her accounts:
end of year 1 = $500 x (1 + 5%) = $525
end of year 2 = $525 + [$525 x (1 + 4%)] = $1,071
end of year 3 = $525 + [$1,071 x (1 + 4%)] = $1,638.84
end of year 4 = $525 + [$1,638.84 x (1 + 4%)] = $2,229.39
end of year 5 = $525 + [$2,229.39 x (1 + 4%)] = $2,843.57
end of year 6 = $525 + [$2,843.57 x (1 + 4%)] = $3,482.31
end of year 7 = $525 + [$3,482.31 x (1 + 4%)] = $4,146.60
end of year 8 = $525 + [$4,146.60 x (1 + 4%)] = $4,837.47
end of year 9 = $525 + [$4,837.47 x (1 + 4%)] = $5,555.97
end of year 10 = $525 + [$5,555.97 x (1 + 4%)] = $6,303.21
end of year 11 = $525 + [$6,303.21 x (1 + 4%)] = $7,080.33
end of year 12 = $525 + [$7,080.33 x (1 + 4%)] = $7,888.55

Explanation:
Ash is the preferred wood to be used in the production of baseball bats.If a company was to buy the rights to harvesting the ash trees out of all the forests in North America,which of the following barriers of entry has this company created?
A) control of resources
B) problems raising capital
C) economies of scale
D) licensing
E) patents and copyright law
Answer: A) control of resources
Explanation:
One of the ways that Monopolies create barriers to entry is by controlling the natural resource. This question is a an example of that happening.
By controlling the natural resource, the monopoly can decide who it wants to sell to and at what price. It could even decide not to sell the resource at all which would make it the sole producer of the goods derived from the resource which would effectively force every competitor out of the market as they would be unable to produce anything.
The following cost and revenue information pertains to the new CD:
CD package and disc (direct material and labor): $2.50/CD
Songwriters' royalties: $0.70/CD
Recording Artists' royalties: $2.00/CD
Advertising & promotion: $380,000
Sony Records Inc.'s Overhead: $300,000
Selling price to CD Distributor: $10.00
Knowing they had been selling 100,000 CDs, what percent does this change in sales represent?
a. 25.36%
b. 12.43%
c.79.17%
d. 15.63%
e. None of the above
Answer:
Cost and Revenue information for the new CD
e. None of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable cost:
Direct material and labor): $2.50/CD
Songwriters' royalties: $0.70/CD
Recording Artists' royalties: $2.00/CD
Total variable cost $5.20/CD
Selling price to CD Distributor: $10.00/CD
Contribution $4.80/CD
Fixed Costs:
Advertising & promotion: $380,000
Sony Records Inc.'s Overhead: $300,000
Total fixed costs $680,000
The break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $680,000/$4.8 = 142,000 CDs
Knowing they had been selling 100,000 CDs
There is an increase of 42,000 (142,000 - 100,000)
This increase represents a change of 42% = (42,000/100,000 * 100)
The change in sales from 100,000 CDs to 142,000 CDs in order to break-even is a 42% increase. None of the given options from a to d has the answer.
The percentage that's represented by the change is E. None of the above.
Based on the information given, we'll segregate the cost into a fixed and variable cost. This will be:
Variable costDirect material and labor: = $2.50/CDSongwriters' royalties: = $0.70/CDRecording Artists' royalties: = $2.00/CDTotal variable cost = $5.20/CDSelling price to CD Distributor = $10.00/CDContribution = $4.80/CDFixed Costs:Advertising & promotion: = $380,000Sony Records Inc.'s Overhead: = $300,000Total fixed costs = $680,000The break-even point will then be calculated thus:
= Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $680,000/$4.8
= 142,000 CDs
The Percentage increase will be:
= (142000 - 100000) / 100000 × 100
= 42000/100000 × 100
= 42%
In conclusion, the correct option is None of the above.

A company sells goods for $150,000 that cost $54,000 to manufacture. Which statement is true?
a. The company will recognize $96,000 gross profit on the balance sheet.
b. The company will decrease finished goods by $54,000.
c. The company will increase finished goods by $54,000.
d. The company will recognize sales on the balance sheet of $150,000.
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The sale of finished goods worth $54000 for an amount of $150000 will require us to recognize a revenue of $150000 and a reduction in inventory of finished goods worth $54000.
Option a is incorrect as the gross profit is not recognized on balance sheet. The gross profit is an income statement item.
Option c is incorrect as the sale of finished goods will cause a reduction in the finished goods inventory for the amount of goods sold.
Option d is incorrect as the sale will be recognized in sales revenue on the profit and loss statement and not on the balance sheet as revenue is a profit and loss statement account.
Thus, option b is the correct answer as the sale of finished goods will be represented by a reduction in finished goods inventory by the cost of the goods sold which is $54000.

The firm's equity has a market value of $300,000, its earnings are growing at a 5% rate, and its tax rate is 40%. A similar firm with no debt has a cost of equity of 12%. Under the MM extension with growth, what would Firm L's total value be if it had no debt?
Answer:
14%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Firm's Cost of Equity = Ke + (Ke - Kd) * Market Value of Debt / Market Value of Equity
Here
Ke is 12%
Kd is 9%
MV of Debt is $200,000
MV of Equity is $300,000
By putting values, we have:
Firm's Cost of Equity = 12% - (12% - 9%) * $200,000 / $300,000
Firm's Cost of Equity = 14%
Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Using the mid-point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand
Answer:
0.079
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows
Formula
Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)
Calculation
Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)
Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688
Elasticity of demand =-0.079
working
Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1
Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05
Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600
average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900
The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

Crane is a nonprofit organization that captures stray deer bewildered within residential communities. Fixed costs are $10000. The variable cost of capturing each deer is $10 each. Crane is funded by a local philanthropy in the amount of $54000 for 2020. How many deer can Crane capture during 2020?
Answer:
4,400 deer
Explanation:
Total fund received = Fixed cost + Variable cost
$54,000 = $10,000 + $10 × Variable cost
$44,000 = $10 × Variable cost
Therefore,
Variable cost = 4,400 deer
Accounts receivable balances are required to be reflected at net realizable value as of the balance sheet date. Use of the allowance method for estimating bad debit is the preferred method because it:________
A) is required by GAAP.
B) it provides for better matching of revenue with expenses.
C) A and B
D) None of the above
Answer:
Accounts receivable balances are required to be reflected at net realizable value as of the balance sheet date. Use of the allowance method for estimating bad debt is the preferred method because it:________
C) A and B
Explanation:
Company XYZ can use the allowance method which ensures that the Accounts receivable balances are stated at their gross amount and not the net realizable value. Therefore, the allowance account is a contrary account with normally a credit balance. The allowance method is required by GAAP and provides for better matching of revenue with expenses. Company XYZ can use two methods for estimating bad debt under the allowance method. The first is the percentage sales method and the accounts receivable aging method. Whichever method is chosen depends on the decision of management.
A machine can be purchased for $202,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes, double-declining depreciation is applied, using a five-year life and a zero salvage value.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Net incomes $18,000 $25,000 $53,000 $58,000 $108,000
Compute the machine’s payback period (ignore taxes).
Answer:
2.36 years
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.
To derive cash flows from net income, depreciation expenses should be added to net income.
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 5 = 0.4
Deprecation expense in year 1 = 0.4 x $202,000 = $80,800
Book value in year 2 = $202,000 - $80,800 = $121,200
Deprecation expense in year 2 = 0.4 x $121,200 = $48,480
Book value in year 3 = $121,200 - $48,480 = $72,720
Deprecation expense in year 3 = 0.4 x $72,720 = $29,088
Book value in year 4 = $72,720 - $29,088 = $43,632
Deprecation expense in year 4 = $43,632 x 0.4 = $17,452.80
Book value in year 5 = $43,632 x 0.4 - $17,452.80 = $26,179.20
Deprecation expense in year 5 = $26,179.20 x 0.4 = $10,471.68
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000 + $80,800 = $98,800
Cash flow in year 2 = $25,000 + $48,480 = $73,480
Cash flow in year 3 = $53,000 + $29,088 = $82,088
Cash flow in year 4 = $58,000 + $17,452.80 = $75,452.80
Cash flow in year 5 = $108,000 + $10,471.68 = $118,471.68
Please check the attached image for how the payback period was calculated
Answer:
the machine’s payback period is 2 years and 3 months.
Explanation:
First remove the depreciation expense from the net income because this is a non-cash item.
Depreciation Expense (double-declining method) = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP
SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of useful life
= 100 ÷ 5
= 20 %
Year 1
Depreciation Expense = 2 × 20% × $202,000
= $80,800
Year 2
Depreciation Expense = 2 × 20% × ($202,000 - $80,800)
= $48,480
Year 3
Depreciation Expense = 2 × 20% × ($202,000 - $48,480)
= $61,408
Year 4
Depreciation Expense = 2 × 20% × ($202,000 - $61,408)
= $56,237
Year 5
Depreciation Expense = 2 × 20% × ($202,000 - $56,237)
= $58,305
Summary of Cash flows will be :
Year 1 = $18,000 + $80,800 = $98,800
Year 2 = $25,000 + $48,480 = $72,480
Year 3 = $53,000 + $61,408 = $114,408
Year 4 = $58,000 + $56,237 = $114,237
Year 5 = $108,000 + $58,305 = $166,305
Payback period :
$202,000 = Year 1 ($98,800) + Year 2 ($72,480) + $30,720 / $114,408
= 2 years and 3 months

The total cost of Jurislon to be purchased in August is: Multiple Choice $1,839,600 $1,208,700 $1,014,300 $1,017,000
Answer: $1,014,300
Explanation:
The company wants to maintain 20% of the next month's needs as ending inventory.
One Miniwap requires 2.5 kg of Jurision to be made.
Materials purchased is;
= Ending inventory + Materials used - Begining inventory
Ending Inventory;
= 20% of September Jurision
= 20% * 21,300 * 2.5
= 10,650 kg
Materials used
= 2.5 kg * August Miniwaps
= 2.5 * 22,600
= 56,500 kg
Materials Purchased = 10,650 + 56,500 - 10,800
= 56,350 kg
Cost of Jurision is $18 per kilo
= 56,350 * 18
= $1,014,300

Answer:
Chester Corporation's common stock is $20.692 million.
Explanation:
Use the Accounting Equation : Assets = Equity + Liabilities to determine Chester Corporation's common stock.
Let the value of Common Stock be Cs
Then,
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
$125.703 million = $27.859 million + $77.152 million + Cs
Cs = $125.703 million - ($27.859 million + $77.152 million)
= $20.692 million

Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. The prices will apply only to units purchased in excess of the quantity normally purchased by a customer.
Explanation:
This is because, the excess of the product purchased by the customer would be deemed eligible for special sales price. For example, Customer A use to purchase product B, 400 pieces each month.

Assume that at retirement you have accumulated $500,000 in a variable annuity contract. The assumed investment return is 6%, and your life expectancy is 15 years. What is the hypothetical constant-benefit payment?
Answer:
The hypothetical constant-benefit payment is $51,481.38.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value accumulated retirement benefit = $500,000
P = Annual hypothetical constant-benefit payment = ?
r = investment return = 6%, or 0.06
n = life expectancy = 15
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$500,000 = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.06)]^15} / 0.06]
$500,000 = P * [{1 - [1 / 1.06]^15} / 0.06]
$500,000 = P * 9.712248987741
P = $500,000 / 9.712248987741
P = $51,481.38
Therefore, the hypothetical constant-benefit payment is $51,481.38.
Direct Materials Variances
The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 10,000 automobile tires:
Actual: 145,000 lbs. at $2.80 per lb.
Standard: 150,000 lbs. at $2.75 per lb.
a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Price variance $ Unfavorable
Quantity variance $ Favorable
Total direct materials cost variance $ Favorable
b. The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing Department . If lower amounts of direct materials had been used because of production efficiencies, the variance would be reported to the Production Supervisor . If the favorable use of raw materials had been caused by the purchase of higher-quality raw materials, the variance should be reported to the Purchasing Department .
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Direct materials price variance is
= (Actual price - standard price) × actual quantity
= ($2.8 - $2.75) × 145000
= $7,250 unfavorable
For Direct materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity - standard quantity) × standard price
= (145,000 - 150,000) × $2.75
= $13,750 favorable
For Total direct material cost variance is
= $7,250 unfavarable + $13,750 favorable
= $6,500 favorable
b. The answers are purchasing department, production supervisor and the purchasing department

You win the million-dollar lottery and decide to quit working. How can you explain this decision using economics
Answer:
the income effect now groverns your behaviour as you demand more leisure and the opportunity cost of leisure goes down
Explanation:
In economics, the cost of opportunity refers to when one person or business chooses one advantage over another. When a person wins the lottery, the person's income increases. This increase in income motivates the person to choose more leisure at work. This means the person is ready to leave work for leisure. In this way, the potential cost of the holiday is reduced. And with an increase in a person's income, a person's purchasing power improves. Increasing purchasing power means the person seeks more rest. Therefore, choosing to retire at work with an increase in income indicates an income impact. Therefore, if a person decides to quit his job, that person's behavior will be controlled by the income effect.Which of the following statements is true about working in a CERT? A.
