Answer:

Dividend growth rate (g) = 7% per year

Common Stock value (P0) = $23 per share

Dividend just paid (or) Last dividend (D0) = $2

Current year dividend to pay (D1) = $2.14

(a) Using the DCF approach, what is its cost of common equity?

Cost of Common Equity (R) = [D1 / P0] +g

Cost of Common Equity (R) = [$2.14 / $23] + 0.07

Cost of Common Equity (R) = 0.1630 (or) 16.30%

Cost of Common Equity (R) = 16.30%

(b) If the firm’s beta is 1.6, the risk-free rate is 9%, and the average return on the market is 13%, what will be the firm’s cost of common equity using the CAPM approach?

Beta = 1.6

Risk-free rate (Rf) = 9%

Return on the Market (RM) = 13%

Calculating Firm’s Cost of Common Equity using the CAPM approach:

According to CAPM approach:

Cost of common equity (RE) = [Rf + β (RM – Rf)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [9% + 1.6 (13% - 9%)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [9% + 1.6 (4%)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [0.09 + 1.6 (0.04)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = 0.154 (or) 15.4%

Cost of common equity (RE) = 15.4%

(c) If the firm’s bonds earn a return of 12%, based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, what will be rs?

rs= Bond rate + Risk premium

rs= 12% + 4%

rs= 16%

d. The two approaches bond-yield-plus-risk premium approach and CAPM both has lower cost of equity than the DCF method. The firm’s cost of equity estimated to be 15.9% which is the average of all the three methods.

Suppose First Main Street Bank, Second Republic Bank, and Third Fidelity Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserv
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Explanation:

Preparation of the table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves

Based on the information given since the REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO is 25%, which means that First Main Street Bank will hold 25% of its initial deposit leading to INCREASE in the REQUIRED RESERVE by the amount of $450,000 (25%*$1,800,000) while the remaining 75% (100%-25%) will be the EXCESS RESERVES of the amount of $1,350,000 (75%*$1,800,000).

Hence:

Amount Deposited: $1,800,000

Change in Excess Reserves=$1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves= $450,000

Therefore the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves will be:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

SafeRide, Inc.

a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.

b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

Explanation:

Annual production capacity = 300,000 units

Current production capacity = 180,000 units

Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units

Special order price per unit = $9.00

Budgeted Costs For      180,000 Units  240,000 Units  Difference 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Manufacturing                       $11.00                  $9.50

Selling and administrative       4.25                     3.25

Total                                     $15.25                  $12.75

Selling price to North American manufacturers = $20 per unit

Financial implications of accepting the order:

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000

Direct labor                           105,000

Factory overhead                  45,000

Total                                  $300,000

Selling and administrative    15,000

Total                                  $315,000

Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)

Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)

Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000 (variable)

Direct labor                           105,000 (variable)

Factory overhead              1,215,000

Total                                $1,470,000

Selling and administrative    15,000 (assumed to be variable)

Total                               $1,485,000

Unit cost per additional unit = $24.75
