Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current value of the company is

As it is mentioned that the company has no debt that means it is unlevered firm that is equivalent to unlevered value of the company  

Unlevered value of the firm =  Vu  

Vu = EBIT ×  (1 - tax rate ) ÷ unlevered Cost of Equity

= EBIT × (1 - tax rate ) ÷ R0  

= $25,000  ×  (1 -  0.22 ) ÷ 12%  

= $162,500  

b-1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of unlevered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

where,  

Debt = borrowing = 50% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 50% x Vu  

So,

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = $162,500 + ($162,500 × 50%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + $17,875  

= $180,375  

b-2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of unlevered value

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × Vu

So,    

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

= $162,500 + ($162,500 × 100%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + 35,750  

= $198,250  

C.1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of the levered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 50%) × tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 50%) × 22%  

VL = Vu + 0.11 VL  

VL - 0.11 VL = 162,500  

0.89 VL = 162,500  

VL= 182,584.27  

C.2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of the levered value  

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 100%) × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 100%) × 22%  

= Vu + 0.22 VL  

VL - 0.22 VL = 162,500  

0.78 VL = 162,500  

VL= $208,333.33

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

wages expense  320,000 debit

              cash                                     218,400 credit

              FICA tax payable                     2,160 credit

             SUTA tax payable                       240 credit

              Social security payable        24,000 credit

             wages income tax payable   75,200 credit

--to record July 15th payment to employees wages--

payroll tax expenses   26,400  debit

FICA tax payable                     2,160 credit

SUTA tax payable                       240 credit

Social security payable        24,000 credit

---to record the payroll tax for the week ended July 15th--

Explanation:

We multiply the wages subjet to taxation by each rate:

social security:

320,000 x 7.5% = 24,000

SUTA

40,000 x 5.4% = 2,160

FICA

40,000 x 0.6% =    240

For this three concepts, the employee will have liability for the same amount for payroll taxes

Income tax 75,200

net wages: 320,000 - 24,000 - 2,160 - 240 - 75,200 = 218,400
