The projections for a new project show sales of 8,500 units, give or take 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $28.62 and the expected fixed cost is $164,000. The fixed and variable cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 3 percent range. The depreciation expense is $62,000 and the tax rate is 35 percent. The sale price is estimated at $55 a unit, give or take 2 percent. The company bases its sensitivity analysis on the expected case scenario. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $170,000
Answer:
$56,950
Explanation:
We will calculate the operating cash flow as follow;
OCF = {[($55 - $28.62) 8,500 ] - $170,000} × (1 - 0.35) + ($62,000 × 0.35)
= {[$224,230] - $170,000} × 0.65 + ($21,700)
= $35,249.5 + $21,700
= $56,950
Therefore, the operating cash flow is $56,950

Yummy Bakery is considering the purchase of 3 wheat farms, located in KS, ND, and WA. The wheat production and costs of these farms are as follows: Production Ton/year Cost ($ mill) KS Farm 15,000 5 ND Farm 12,000 6 WA Farm 17,000 8 The production of these plants have to satisfy the wheat consumption of the Colorado plant, currently at 22000 ton/year. The available budget is $20 mill. The company needs to know which of the 3 farms to purchase in order to minimize cost. Formulate the objective function Question 6 options: Min 5KS 6ND 8WA Min 15,000KS 12,000ND 17,000WA Max 5KS 6ND 8WA Min KS ND WA
Answer: Min 5KS+6ND+8WA
Explanation:
For the objective function to be formulated, we have to minimize the cost. For this to be done, the capacity constraint which is given in the question as 22000 ton/year has to be satisfied.
For this question, the objective function will be to minimize 5KS + 6ND + 8WA. It should be noted that KS, ND and WA in this context are binary variables where 0 represents non-selected farm and 1 represents selected farm.
Titan Mining Corporation has 8.1 million shares of common stock outstanding, 300,000 shares of 4.1 percent preferred stock outstanding, and 185,000 bonds with a semiannual coupon rate of 5.5 percent outstanding, par value $2,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $57 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $99 per share, and the bonds have 18 years to maturity and sell for 107 percent of par. The market risk premium is 6.6 percent, T-bills are yielding 3.3 percent, and the company’s tax rate is 24 percent. a. What is the firm’s market value capital structure? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.) b. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?
Answer:
a.
Market value of debt = 185000 * 2000 * 107% = 395900000 or 395.9 million
Market value of preferred stock = 300000 * 99 = 29700000 or 29.7 million
Market value of common stock = 8100000 * 57 = 461700000 or 461.7 million
Total value of capital structure = 395.9 + 29.7 + 461.7 = 887300000 or 887.3 million
b.
WACC = 0.0953387 or 9.53387% rounded off to 9.5339%
As the new project will have the same risk as that of the firm's typical project, it shall be discounted using the WACC of the firm which is 9.5339%
Explanation:
The capital structure of a company is typically made of at least one or at most all of the following components namely debt, common stock and preferred stock. To calculate the market value of capital structure, we calculate the market value of each component and sum it.
Market value of debt = 185000 * 2000 * 107% = 395900000 or 395.9 million
Market value of preferred stock = 300000 * 99 = 29700000 or 29.7 million
Market value of common stock = 8100000 * 57 = 461700000 or 461.7 million
Total value of capital structure = 395.9 + 29.7 + 461.7 = 887300000 or 887.3 million
b.
The cash flows of a firm having the capital structure mix containing more than one component should be discounted using the WACC or weighted average cost of capital. The WACC is calculated using the following formula,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
wD, wP, wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common stock in capital structure respectivelyrD, rP, rE represents the cost of each componentFirst we need to determine the cost of equity.
rE = 0.033 + 1.15 * 0.066
rE = 0.1089 or 10.89%
Cost of debt = 5.5* 2 = 11% or 0.11
WACC = 395.9 / 887.3 * 0.11 * (1 - 0.24) + 29.7 / 887.3 * 0.041 +
461.7 / 887.3 * 0.1089
WACC = 0.0953387 or 9.53387% rounded off to 9.5339%
As the new project will have the same risk as that of the firm's typical project, it shall be discounted using the WACC of the firm which is 9.5339%

LFinance, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at par but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond (Hint: the coupon rate on the new bonds = the YTM on existing bonds). The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.85, the risk-free rate is 2.53 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding.

A year ago a country reduced the tax rate on all interest income from 20% to 10%. During the year private saving was $500 billion as compared to $400 billion the year before the tax reform. Taxes on interest income fell by $10 billion. Assuming no other changes in income, or government revenues or spending, which of the following is correct? a. the substitution effect was larger than the income effect; national saving rose b. the substitution effect was larger than the income effect; national saving fell c. the income effect was larger than the substitution effect; national saving rose d. the income effect was larger than the substitution effect; national saving fell
Answer:
a. the substitution effect was larger than the income effect; national saving rose
Explanation:
In macroeconomics, the substitution effect means that as the return on savings increases, households will substitute current spending and will save more in order to be able to spend more in the future.
In this case, since interests from bonds, CDs, etc., are taxed at a much lower rate, the after tax return from investing on any of them increases. Households consider that the money that they can earn now by investing on them is more valuable than consuming goods or services immediately.

A company has net sales of $821,400 and cost of goods sold of $593,400. Its net income is $34,160. The company's gross margin and operating expenses, respectively, are:
Answer:
$228,000.00 and $193,840.00
Explanation:
Gross profit is the gain from business transactions before adjusting for operating expenses. It is obtained by deducting the direct cost from net sales. The Cost of Goods sold represents direct expenses.
In this case:
Gross profit = Net sales - COGS
Gross profit = $821,400 - $593,400
Gross profit =$228,000.00
Calculating operating expenses:
Gross profit - operating expenses = net income
In this case, gross profits = $228,000 , net income = $34,160
i.e.,$228,000 -Operating expenses =$34,160
Operating expences = $228,000 - $34,160
operating expences = $193,840.00

Explanation:
Swazzi is a national chain of clothing stores. It produces and sells women's and men's clothing, footwear, and accessories. In general, it targets high-income consumers, focusing on high product prices.
Swazzi's Northeast Region, its largest, has just experienced its worst fiscal year on record. The region is in terrible shape. Sales are far below expectations and continue to stagnate. Nearly every store is underperforming. Turnover is high and some of the best salespeople are jumping ship. Morale is low.
J.K. Miller has been hired as the new Northeast Division Manager and tasked with turning around the region in short order. J.K. is especially concerned about employee motivation and store leaders. J.K. observes that most employees do not like their jobs, show little respect for the company, and exhibit little affinity with corporate objectives. Correcting these conditions is crucial to improving performance quickly.
J.K. visits Swazzi's flagship store to talk to Store Manager Sean. Over lunch, J.K. asks Sean to be candid about the reasons for poor sales performance at his store and other stores in the region. Sean says: "I have yet to visit a store in the region where the atmosphere is energized. No one seems to have any direction, and employees put only sporadic effort into their work. The sales teams don't seem to care about selling; they're unprofessional in their appearance and in the way they treat customers. Many members of the sales team don't seem to understand the commission system, and many see it as unfair. Absenteeism and turnover are high, even among the team leaders. I have to admit even I don't have much enthusiasm for my job. I also heard from different stores’ employees about some store managers being too laid back and unhelpful, but I don’t have any other details."
The company definitely has problems in the Northeast Division. J.K. remembers the Organizational Behavior class from college years; J.K. is sure OB topics and theories can help solve these problems.
As a team your job is to help J.K. solve the problems using applicable OB concepts and theories. You will need to identify possible root causes of the problem, identify the OB concepts and theories that are relevant to the case, and develop solutions and recommended action plans.
Required:
Identify the OB concepts and theories of Communication, Leadership, Power, and Politics, Conflict and Negotiation
The Organizational Behavior concept of motivation that speaks to the situation is The Two-Factor Theory by Frederick Herzberg.
What does Two-Factor Theory propose?
Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor theory suggests that in every workplace, there are certain factors that trigger job satisfaction and enhance motivation while there are other factors that create dissatisfaction.
According to him, these factors are mutually exclusive. Sone of the factors in the case study which are similar to the research findings by Herzberg is Salary Structure and intrinsic interest in the work.
Recommendations:
Revision of Salary Structure
The commission structure should be changed. Given that the company has a great and marketable product, it can reduce the overall sales commission then include a base salary for each worker. So that in the periods when there are no sales, they can have still have some money to fall back on.
Non-Financial Benefits
The company should pay attention to non-financial benefits. Some of them are employee recognition, health insurance, etc.
The organization must work to ensure that rapport between employees, horizontally and vertically is achieved.
