Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $28,500 a year for 6 years as a result. This expansion requires $95,800 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $7,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 10 percent

Answers

Answer:

$25,276

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

The Present value of inflows is

= Cash inflow × Present value of discounting factor (rate% , number of years)

= $28,500 ÷ 1.1 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^2 + $285,00 ÷ 1.1^3 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^4 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^5 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^6 + $7,000 ÷ 1.1^6

= $128,076.25

And,

Present value of outflows is

= $95,800 + $7,000

= $102,800

So

As we know that

NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows

= $128,076.25 - $102,800

= $25,276

Suppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces that it is raising its target interest rate by 50 basis points, or 0.50%. It would achieve this by _____________________: The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows: Because there is ____________ in the financial system the quantity of money demanded __________.

Answers

Answer: decreasing money supply; less; decreases.

Explanation:

When the Federal Reserve wants to increase its target interest rate by 50 basis points, this can be done if the Fed reduces the money supply that is in circulation.

This will in turn, lead to a new equilibrium rate and there will also be a decrease in money in the financial system as there'll be a reduction in the quantity of money demanded.

In deciding whether to drop or keep a product line, all of the following are relevant to the decision except: a.

The level of unavoidable fixed costs. d. Effect of the decision on overall company morale. e. The segment margin generated by the product line.

Answers

Answer:

c. The level of unavoidable fixed costs.

Explanation:

Product line in marketing is considered as a group of different products that are related to each other and often targets to the same thing. They are marketed and created under a single brand and sold by the same company. An example of it is product line hair care like shampoo, hair gel, hair wax, hair oil, etc.

Deciding a product lining is very essential to the organization. The growth and the expansion of the company depends upon the product lining of the future options. Therefore, dropping off a product line or keeping it should be decided properly. It also affects the overall morale of the company.

The relevant margin that is generated by the product line of the company should also be checked before deciding.    

In examining investors’ preferences for dividends, it is useful to begin with the concept of dividend irrelevance. Dividend irrelevance suggests that in a world with no taxes or brokerage (or transaction) costs, firms and investors are indifferent to the paying or receiving of dividends. However, as these restrictions are relaxed, various factors suggest that firms should pursue high or low payouts. One such factor is:

Answers

Answer: Favor a high payout

Explanation:

Investors are allowed to exclude as much as 70% of dividend income from taxes. They will therefore demand a higher payout in terms of investment so that they make make more income after they exclude taxes.

For instance, assume investors had a choice between receiving $40 and $60 in dividends.

On $40, the non-taxable amount would be = 40 * 70% = $28

On $60, the non-taxable amount would be = 60 * 70% = $42

They will pick the higher payout of $60 in order to get more income after tax.

Recording Cash Discounts Schrand Corporation purchases materials from a supplier that offers credit terms of 2/15, n/60. It purchased $12,500 of merchandise inventory from that supplier on January 20, 2019. Required a. Assume that Schrand Corporation paid the invoice on February 15, 2019. Prepare journal entries to record the purchase of this inventory and the cash payment to the supplier using the net-of-discount method.

Answers

Answer:

Schrand Corporation

Journal Entries:

January 20, 2019:

Debit Inventory $12,500

Credit Accounts Payable $12,250

Credit Purchase Discounts $250

To record the purchase of inventory on credit terms, 2/15, n/60.

February 15,. 2019:

Debit Discount Lost Expense $250

Credit Accounts Payable $250

To record the loss of discount following late payment.

Debit Accounts Payable $12,500

Credit Cash Account $12,500

To record the payment for purchase.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Inventory purchase on January 20, 2019 = $12,500

Credit terms = 2/15, n/60

Net-of-discount purchase = $12,250 ($12,500 - 250)

Payment of invoice on February 15, 2019 = $12,500

b) The difference between the net and gross discount methods is that under the gross discount method, the purchases and Accounts Payable are  initially recorded at full value.  On the other hand, under the net discount method, the purchases and Accounts Payable are initially recorded at a reduced value.

The total asset market value of General Motors (GM) is $10 billion. GM has an equity market value (market capitalization) of $7 billion of equity. What are the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the WACC, respectively

Answers

Answer:

0.70,0.30

Explanation:

Calculation for the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the WACC respectively

Calculation for weights in equity

Weights in equity= $7 million / $10 million

Weights in equity = 0.70

Therefore the Weights in equity will be 0.70

Calculation for debt

Debt = ($10 million - $7 million) / $10 million

Debt=$3millon/$10 million

Debt= 0.30

Therefore the debt that are used for calculating the WACC will be 0.30

The actual returns/ amount invested x 100

Returns represent gains from the share.

1. The gain in share price

= Current value - original value

=($12 x 500 ) - ($10 x 500)

The amount invested = original value + commissions

=($10 x 500) + $200

=$5200

The percentage gain

= $2000/5200 x 100

=0.384615 x 100

How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 14 percent

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

r is the required rate of return

g is the constant growth rate in dividends

n is the number of years

P0 = 0.47 / (1+0.14)  +  0.52 / (1+0.14)^2  + 0.67 / (1+0.14)^3  +  

0.97 / (1+0.14)^4  +  [(0.97 * (1+0.033)  /  (0.14 - 0.033))  /   (1+0.14)^4]

P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38

“EBIT is generally considered to be independent of financial leverage, because EBIT is the result of a firm’s operating effectiveness. However, with an excessive debt levels, EBIT might actually be influenced by financial leverage.”

Comment on the statement above.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

EBIT is known as an accounting measure to determine the profit level of a firm. It is an acronym of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.

EBIT is generally considered to be independent of financial leverage because EBIT is the result of a firm’s operating effectiveness.

This is true because, EBIT is based on the firm's level of sales and cost of operation, of which financial leverage has no effects on it.

However, with excessive debt levels, EBIT might be influenced by financial leverage.

This implies that even though the financial leverage of a firm has no direct influence on EBIT, in a situation whereby a firm is operating at huge deficits, every aspect of the film will be concerned. This will include staff, customers, investors, and operational activities, thereby affecting the firm's sales and cost of operation. As a result, this will ultimately affect the firm's EBIT.

With Riley having died in 2016, the procedure would be that b) Since Jeff’s spouse died during the year, he may be entitled to the special qualifying widower with dependent child benefits for tax year 2017 and 2018.

Special Qualifying WidowerAllows a widower to still fill taxes jointly as a married person for two years after the spouse dies. Can only apply if there is at least a single dependent child.
