Suppose that Texas Trucking (TT) has earnings per share of $3.45 and EBITDA of $45 million. TT also has 5 million shares outstanding and debt o $150 million (net of cash). You believe that Oklahoma Logistics and Transport (OLT) is comparable to TT in terms of its underlying business, but OLT has no debt. OLT has a P/E of 12.5 and an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 7. Based upon the enterprise value to EBITDA ratio, the value of a share of Texas Trucking is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$33.00 per share

Explanation:

Calculation to the value of a share of Texas Trucking

Using this formula

Enterprise value = EBITDA × multiple

Let plug in the formula

Enterprise value = $45 × 7 = $315

Enterprise value=$315- $150

Enterprise value=$165

Enterprise value=$165/5 million share

Enterprise value = $33.00 per share

Therefore the value of a share of Texas Trucking is closest to:$33.00 per share

Globe Services plans on closing its doors after one more year. During its last year in business, the firm expects to generate a cash flow of $67,000 if the economy booms and $44,000 if it does not. The probability of a boom is 30 percent. The firm has debt of $53,400 that is due in one year. That debt has a market value of $45,800 today. Ignore taxes. The current promised return on debt is __________ percent, and the expected return on debt is __________ percent.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Current promised return on debt is

= $53,400 ÷ $45,800 - 1

= 16.60%

And, the expected return on debt is

The expected amount would be

= $53,400 × 30% + $44,000 × 70%

= $16,020 + $30,800

= $46,820

 Now the expected return on debt is

= $46,820 ÷ $45,800 - 1

= 2.23%

Tam Worldly's weekly gross earnings for the present week were $2,000. Worldly has two exemptions. Using the wage bracket withholding table in Exhibit 2
with a $75 standard withholding allowance for each exemption, what is Worldly's federal income tax withholding? If required, round your answer to two
decimal places.

Answers

Answer: $‭391.71‬

Explanation:

Tam earned $2,000 for the week.

There are two exemptions with each of them valued at a $75 allowance.

Net earnings = 2,000 - (75 * 2)

= $1,850

Based on the table, this falls under the $1,533 to $3,202 bracket.

Federal income tax withholding is:

= 302.95 + 28% * (1,850 - 1,533)

= 302.95 + ‭88.76‬

= $‭391.71‬

Which would an economist say best describes a "trust"?
a. a federal order
b. a public good
c. an illegal combination
d. a feeling in a market

Answers

The answer would be B

An economist would say that "an illegal combination" best describes a "trust." In economics, a trust refers to an illegal combination or arrangement where multiple companies or entities collude to control and monopolize a particular market or industry, limiting competition and manipulating prices to their advantage. Thus, option c is correct.

In the context of trusts, an illegal combination refers to the collusion or agreement among multiple companies or entities to control and manipulate a market in an anti-competitive manner. It involves practices such as price-fixing, market allocation, and monopolistic behavior that are prohibited by antitrust laws.

The term highlights the unlawfulness and negative implications of such arrangements, as they distort market forces, hinder fair competition, and potentially harm consumers by limiting choices, driving up prices, and suppressing innovation.

Legal measures are in place to prevent and address these illegal combinations to safeguard market integrity and promote fair and open competition.

In recent years, large financial institutions such as mutual funds and pension funds have become the dominant owners of stock in the United States, and these institutions are becoming more active in corporate affairs. What are the implications of this trend for agency problems and corporate control?

Answers

Answer:

Agency problems arise when managers (agents) of a company seek their own best interests instead of that of the stockholders (principal).

With Pension funds owning a significant amount of stock in companies now, they will potentially reduce agency problems because they have experience in the are of limiting agency problems and by owning a lot of shares they will have the power to influence the company to make policies that will limit these problems as well.

This is where Corporate control comes in. With such large control, Pension funds can dictate some processes in the company and they will most likely do so in a manner that will ensure that the shareholders (like themselves) will benefit as should be the case.

Patterson Corporation expects to incur $70,000 of factory overhead and $60,000 of general and administrative costs next year. Direct labor costs at $5 per hour are expected to total $50,000. If factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour, how much overhead will be applied to a job incurring 20 hours of direct labor

Answers

Answer:

$140

Explanation:

With regards to the above, since the factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour

= [$70,000 ÷ ($50,000 ÷ $5) 20 hours]

= $70,000 ÷ 10,000 × 20 hours

= $7 × 20 hours

= $140

Therefore, $120 will be applied to job incurring 20 hours of direct labor

A production department's output for the most recent month consisted of 8,800 units completed and transferred to the next stage of production and 5,800 units in ending Work in Process inventory. The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 50% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.

Answers

Answer:

11,700 units

Explanation:

Calculation for the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method

Unit completed and transferred to the next stage 8,800 units

Add Unit in ending goods in process inventory 2,900 units

(5,800 units*50%)

Equivalent units of production 11,700 units

(8,800 units+2,900 units)

Therefore the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method will be 11,700 units

Answers

Answer:

$41,354.98

Explanation:

Required future worth = Annual savings x FVIFA(r%, N) x (1 + r)

Required annual savings ($) = [Required future worth / FVIFA(r%, N)] / (1 + r)

= 725,000 / [FVIFA(10%, 10) * 1.1]

= 725,000 / (15.9374 * 1.1)

= 725,000 / 17.53114

= 41354.98318991235

= $41,354.98

Note: Since this is annuity due (deposit made at beginning of year), FV is divided by (1+r).

Deborah would like to invest a certain amount of money for two years and considers investing in a one-year bond that pays 4% and a two-year bond that pays 7%. Deborah is considering the following investment strategies:

Strategy A: Buy a one-year bond that pays 4% and in one year buy another one-year bond.
Strategy B: Buy a two-year bond that pays 7% this year and 7% next year.

If the one-year bond that Dina can purchase in one year pays 9%, Deborah will choose:_______

Answers

Answer:

If the one-year bond that Dina/Deborah can purchase in one year pays 9%, Deborah will choose:_______

Strategy B.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Interest on one-year bond = 4%

Interest on a two-year bond = 7%

Investment strategies:

Strategy A: Buy a one-year bond that pays 4% and in one year buy another one-year bond.

Strategy B: Buy a two-year bond that pays 7% this year and 7% next year.

b) Although choosing a fixed income investment is a conservative strategy because returns are generated from low-risk securities that pay predictable interest, this strategy may be preferred by Deborah instead of another that pays at variable interest rates.  The variable-interest bond will need to pay higher varying interest rates to be attractive to Deborah.  Paying 4% in year one and another 9% in year two will not make the bond investment more attractive than a straight two-year bond that pays at 7% per year.

M I N I C A S E
Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of a Biggerstaff & Biggerstaff (B&B), a privately held company owned by two brothers, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&B currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&B’s financial statements report marketable securities of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million.

Answers

Answer:

Temp Force required rate of return is 13%

The shareholders of B&B will have rights of dividend in the company's profit.

Explanation:

Temp Force company will require a rate of return based on the risk of the company. The beta factor determines the business risk of the company. For the Temp Force the beta factor is 1.2

Required rate of return of temp Force;

r = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * beta

r = 7% + (12% -7%) * 1.2

r = 13%

B&B shareholders will have voting rights in the company and they are eligible for any dividends declared by the company. They will have rights to elect the director and attend the AGM and EOGM. These rights are given to shareholders to maintain good corporate governance in the company.

Assume you borrow $10,000 today and promise to repay the loan in two payments, one in year 2 and the other in year 4, with the one in year 4 being only half as large as the one in year 2. At an interest rate of 10% per year, the size of the payment in year 4 will be closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$4,281.19

Explanation:

The standard notation equation is P = F(P/F, i, n) where the value of the factor is seen in the compound interest factor table.

Let the amount deposited in year 4 be A, we calculate the value of A as follows

10,000 = 2A(P/F, 10%, 2) + A(P/F, 10%, 4)

10,000 = 2A(0.8263) + A(0.683)

2.3358A = 10,000

A = 10,000 / 2.3358

A = 4281.188457915917

A = $4,281.19.

When preparing the financial statements for the month ended January 31, accrued salaries owed to employees for January 30 and 31 were overlooked. The accrued salaries were included in the first salary payment in February. Indicate which items will be erroneously stated, because of failure to correct the initial error, on (A) the income statement for the month of February and (B) the balance sheet as of February 28.a. Income Statement

Answers

Answer:

A. Income Statement

Salaries Expense - OVERSTATED

Salaries will be overstated because they would be increased by salaries from January when they should not be as only expenses in February should be apportioned to February.

Net Income - UNDERSTATED

With salaries being higher than they should be, they will reduce the Net income more than they should which will lead to the net income being understated.

B. Balance Sheet

Salaries Payable - No effect

Stockholder's Equity - UNDERSTATED

Net income goes to Equity in the form of Retained earnings. If Net income is understated therefore, so also will Net Income be.

Common stock of $9,000 was posted on the debit side as it appeared first.  This follows the normal order of recording transactions in the journal.  The accounts to be debited are recorded first before the accounts to be credited.  However, this entry appears abnormal.  Cash of $9,000 should have appeared first in the journal before the Common Stock.  Whichever is the correct interpretation, all the journal entries have been posted to the T-accounts accordingly.

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: You can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. If you pick the lump sum, you get $2,800 today. If you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today.
1) At an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (LUMP SUM or PAYMENTS OVER TIME?), since it has the greater present value.
2) At an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (LUMP SUM or PAYMENTS OVER TIME?), since it has the greater present value.
3) Years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. By wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. She must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. What is the best advice to give your friend?
A) The lump sum is always better.
B) The payments over time are always better.
C) It will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator.
D) None of these answers is good

Answers

Answer:

PAYMENTS OVER TIME

lump sum

c

Explanation:

To know the better option, we have to calculate the present value of the series of cash flows

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $1000

Cash flow in year 1 = $1000

Cash flow in year 2 = $1000

PV when interest rate is 6 = 2833.93

PV when interest rate is 8 = 2783.26

When PV when interest rate is 6 , choose payment over time because it is higher

PV when interest rate is 8 , choose lump sum because it is higher

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
