Answer:

The value of this firm to shareholders is $70240

Explanation:

Using expected value approach, the value of the firm can be computed as :

(Optimistic value*its probability)+(pessimistic value*its probability)

optimistic value=$139000 and its probability is 68%=0.68

Pessimistic value=$121000 and its probability is 1-0.68=0.32

Expected value=($139000*0.68)+($121000*0.32)

                         =$133240

However, the value to shareholders is the expected value of the firm less debt of $63000

Equity value=$133240-$63000

                      =$70240

PackMan Corporation has semiannual bonds outstanding with nine years to maturity and the bonds are currently priced at $754.08.
Alja [10]

Answer:

b. 8.225%

Explanation:

The rate formula will be used to solve this question.

Please note that the NPER represents the time value.

Where;

Present value is $754.08

Let's assume that the face value is $1,000

PMT= 1,000 x 7.25% ÷2

=$36.25

NPER= 9 years x 2

= 18 years

The formulae is therefore

Rate(NPER,PMT,-,PV,FV)

The value of the present value is negative.

a. The pretax would therefore be 11.75%

b. After tax cost of debt would be ;

Pretax cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

11.75% x (1 - 30%)

11.75% x (1 - 0.03)

=8.225%.

A plant asset cost $160000 and is estimated to have a $16000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year useful life. The annual depr
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

For computing the depreciation expense, first we have to determine the first and second year depreciation which are shown below:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 25%

Now the rate is double So, 50%

In year 1, the original cost is $160,000, so the depreciation is $80,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $80,000 × 50% = $40,000

The 80,000 is come from = $160,000 - $80,000

And, in year 3, the $40,000 × 50% = $20,000

The 40,000 is come from = $80,000 - $40,000

If inflation is increasing at 2.4 percent per year, and your salary increases at the same rate, how long will it take your salar
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

it take 29.23 years, my salary to double.

Explanation:

To make the salary double I have to increase the value of salary by 100%. If inflation rate is 2.4 percent per year and salary increase the same rate the time period to make it double can be calculated as follow.

As every year 2.4% has compounding effect, so we will use compounding formula to solve this problem.

Target value = Existing value ( 1 + growth rate )^time period

200% = 100% ( 1 + 2.4% )^n

2 = 1 ( 1 + 0.024 )^n

2 = 1 ( 1.024 )^n

2 = 1.024^n

Taking log on both sides to solve the n

Log 2 = n Log 1.024

n = Log 2 / Log 1.024

n = 29.23 years

I will take 29.23 year to double the salary
