LUVFINANCE, 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 the same cost of its current bonds 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 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 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. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Answer:
9.72%
Explanation:
Maturity = 34
Par-value = -1000
Coupon rate = 6%
Coupon PMT = -60
Value of bond = 1152
Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)
Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%
Annual Yield = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6
Cost of equity = 9.36%

During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.
Required:
Determine the utilization factor.
Answer:
the utilization factor is 4 ÷ 5
Explanation:
The computation of the utilization factor is shown below:
given that
Customer arrives at the rate of λ equivalent to the 36 per hour
And, Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equivalent to the 45 per hour
λ = 36 / hour
μ = 45 / hour
Now utilization factor is
P = λ ÷ μ
= 36 ÷ 45
= 4 ÷ 5
Thus, the utilization factor is 4 ÷ 5
Epicure Market prepares fresh gourmet entrees each day. On Wednesday, 80 baked chicken dinners were made at a cost of $3.50 each. A 10% spoilage rate is anticipated. At what price should the dinners be sold to achieve a 60% markup based on selling price
Answer:
The price of a Dinner= $6.22
Explanation:
Mark-up is the proportion of the product cost which is expected to be made as profit. In other words, it is profit expressed as a percentage of product cost.
To account for the spoilage rate of 10%, $3.50 unit cost would be consider as 90% of the cost. Thus, 100% of the cost would be given as follows:
Dinner cost = 100/(100-10)× 3.50= 3.89
The price of a Dinner = product cost + 60% of product cost
The price of a Dinner = 3.89 + 60%*3.89= $6.22
The price of a Dinner= $6.22
is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%

Spa Inc. gathered the following information related to its gift card sales for 2020, its first year of selling gift cards: Sales of nonrefundable gift cards, 2020$25,500 Gift card redemptions, 2020$18,360 Spa Inc. estimates that 95% of the value of gift cards sold in 2020 will be redeemed while 5% will remain unclaimed. Under the proportional method, what would Spa Inc. recognize for gift card breakage revenue in 2020
Answer: $969
Explanation:
Since 5% of the value of the gift card sold will be unclaimed, the amount claimed will be:
= $25500 - (5% × $25500)
= $25500 -(0.05 × $25500)
= $25500 - $1275
= $24225
We then find the percentage of the cards that have been redeemed already and this will be:
= $18360 / $24225
= 0.7579
= 76%
Therefore, breakage in revenue to be recognized will be:
= ($25500 × 5%) × 76%
= $1275 × 76%
= $1275 × 0.76
= $969

Graymont Industries purchases Solvate, a chemical compound used in several of its products, from ChemMaster. ChemMaster has just increased the list price of Solvate to $6.10 per gallon. However, because Graymont purchases a high volume of Solvate, ChemMaster grants the company a 14 percent discount off the list price. Charges for shipping Solvate from ChemMaster to Graymont's factory are $130 for a shipment of twenty-five 49-gallon drums. Special storage requirements cost $0.59 per gallon.
Calculate Graymont's standard price for a gallon of Solvate. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51)
Answer:
the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
Explanation:
The computation of the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is shown below:
List Price $6.1 per gallon
Less: Discount at 14% 0.854 per gallon
Charges (130 ÷ (25 × 49) 0.106 per gallon
Special Storage $0.59 per gallon
Total Cost $5.942 per gallon
Hence, the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon

Approximately what is the expected dollar rate of return on euro deposits if today's exchange rate is $1.18 per euro, next year's expected exchange rate is $1.10 per euro, and the euro interest rate is 5%?
Answer:
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
Explanation:
The expected dollar rate would be the dollar equivalent of the future value of the Euro deposit converted at the exchange rate applicable in a years time .
The following steps would suffice
Step 1: Future value of 1 Euro
Future value of 1 Euro at 5% p.a = 1.05 Euro
Step 2: Dollar equivalent of the Euro future value
The Dollar equivalent of 1.05 Euro = 1.05× 1.10=1.155
Step 3: The Dollar rate of return
Dollar rate of return = Future value of deposit($)/initial deposit - 1
= (1.155/1) - 1 × 100
= 15.5%
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%

Burning one gallon of gasoline in a car releases approximately 20 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. One average person drives 60,000 miles in a car that average 30 miles per gallon (mpg), while another person drives 60,000 miles in a car that averages 20 mpg. Over the course of the 60,000 miles, how many fewer punds of CO2 are released by the 30 mpg car than by the 20 mpg car?
Answer: 20,000 pounds of CO₂
Explanation:
30 mpg car.
Number of gallons of gasoline used:
= 60,000 / 30
= 2,000 gallons
CO₂ released = 2,000 * 20
= 40,000 pounds
20 mpg car
Number of gallons used:
= 60,000 / 20
= 3,000 gallons
CO₂ released = 3,000 * 20
= 60,000 pounds
Difference:
= 60,000 - 40,000
= 20,000 pounds of CO₂
The number of fewer pounds should be 20,000 pounds of CO₂
The calculation is as follows:The Number of gallons of gasoline used:
= 60,000 ÷ 30
= 2,000 gallons
and,
CO₂ released = 2,000 × 20
= 40,000 pounds
Now
Number of gallons used:
= 60,000 ÷ 20
= 3,000 gallons
And,
CO₂ released = 3,000 × 20
= 60,000 pounds
So, the Difference is
= 60,000 - 40,000
= 20,000 pounds of CO₂

For each of the following situations, state whether total revenue received by the seller increases, decreases, or does not change.
a. If price elasticity of demand is -1.00 and price increases, total revenue.
b. If price elasticity of demand is -0.02 and price increases, total revenue
c. If price elasticity of demand is 5.00 and price increases, total revenue
d. If price elasticity of demand is-0.131 and price decreases, total revenue
e. If price elasticity of demand is -3.33 and price decreases, total revenue
Answer:
doesn't change
increases
decreases
decreases
increase
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
a. Demand is unit elastic and if price increases, quantity demanded would change by the same amount and total revenue would remain the same
b. Demand is inelastic. If prices increases, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would increase
c. Demand is elastic. Increase in price would lead to a reduction in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
Demand is inelastic, if prices are decreased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would fall
Demand is elastic. A decrease in price would increase the quantity demanded and total revenue would rise

The marginal cost curve would intersect the average variable cost curve at about: ____________
a. 2 units of output.
b. 4 units of output.
c. 6 units of output.
d. 7 units of output.
Answer:
b. 4 units of output
Explanation:
MC and AVC have the following relationship:
a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising
b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling
c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum
Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
Exercise 11-7 Sell or Process Further Decisions [LO11-7] Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $300,000 per quarter. For financial reporting purposes, the company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point. Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows: Product Selling Price Quarterly Output A $ 10.00 per pound 11,000 pounds B $ 4.00 per pound 17,300 pounds C $ 16.00 per gallon 2,200 gallons Each product can be processed further after the split-off point.

What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing each of the three products beyond the split-off point
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing each of the three products beyond the split-off point is calculated below:
For product A:
Selling price after further processing = $14.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $10.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $4.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 11000
Total incremental revenue = 45100
Total incremental processing costs = 48250
Financial (disadvantage) = (3150)
For product B:
Selling price after further processing = $9.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $4.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $5.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 17300
Total incremental revenue = 88230
Total incremental processing costs = 68055
Financial advantage = 20175
For product C:
Selling price after further processing = $23.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $16.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $7.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 2200
Total incremental revenue = 15620
Total incremental processing costs = 23780
Financial (disadvantage) = (8160)
It costs Bonita Industries $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3100 scales at $15 each. Garner would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Bonita has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 3100 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income?
a. $46500 increase.
b. $6200 increase.
c. $6200 decrease.
d. $9300 decrease.
Answer:
Effect on income= $6,200 increase
Explanation:
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:
Total unitary variable cost= 12 + 1= $13
Selling price per unit= $15
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 3,100*(15 - 13)
Effect on income= $6,200 increase
Suppose that the global crude oil price has risen due to refinery breakdowns caused by middle-east politics and warfare. Crude oil is an input in the gasoline production. At the same time, the demand for driving and, therefore, the demand for gasoline has also risen in the United States. You can accurately predict that the domestic price of gasoline is:_______
Answer:
"Definitely increase" is the correct approach.
Explanation:
As fuel demand rises, consumption exceeds the amount, as manufacturers are unable to cope with either the surge in demand whenever the profit margin is still rising.We could perhaps state precisely that consumption overtakes the output of petrol or the curve of availability to that same right as well as would therefore be at that same greater degree.Thus the above is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Suppose 5 years have gone by and the company has to make a decision on how to move forward. It can either pay out all earnings as dividends without considering any growth opportunities or choose a growth strategy where the company will expand into new lines of business in global markets. If the management chooses this strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced down to 20% from 35%, and the company will be able to maintain a growth rate of 7% forever. Which strategy should the management choose to maximize shareholder value
Answer:
The management should choose the growth strategy. It is always more rewarding and maximizes the shareholder value better than embarking on a payout strategy.
Explanation:
Choosing a payout strategy, which does not ensure growth, is not sustainable and does not maximize shareholder value. Business expansion through market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification ensures business growth and maximizes shareholder wealth, enabling the company to pay out more in dividends stretched over longer streams.
