Answer:
Short-cut IRR = 18.75%
The company has not reached their rate of return goal on this contract and investment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of production equipment = $500,000
Qualified investment tax credit (ITC) = 10% = $50,000 ($500,000 * 10%)
Contract period = 4 years with 4 years extension on renewal
Income tax rate for the company = 40%
Expected after-tax rate of return = 12%
Expected before-tax rate of return = 30% (12%/40%)
Annual income generated by the equipment = $150,000 for 4 years
Salvage value at the end of 4 years = $200,000
Short-cut IRR = 100%, divided by the number of years * about 75-80%
= 100%/4 * 75%
= 18.75%
Answer:
a. 4.94%
b. 11.48%
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.
We proceed as follows;
a. From the question;
The debt equity ratio = 1.15
since Equity = 1 ; Then
Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15
Mathematically ;
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)
Where WACC = 8.6%
Cost of equity = 14%
Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15
Pretax cost of debt = ?
Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15
Tax rate = 21% = 0.21
Substituting these values, we have;
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))
Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%
b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt
8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15
Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)
Cost of equity = 11.48%
Answer:
There is not gain in this operation so the answer is $0
Explanation:
There are some journal entries that needs to be done to have a full picture of the statement
* Purchase
Fixed Assets 690.000
Cash 690.000
* Monthly depreciation
Since, the FA was depreciated during 8 years. Firstly you have to calculate the amount that can be depreciate on a monthly basis
Amount to be depreciated = (Cost of the FA - Salvage value) = (690.000-48.600) = 641.400
Then calculate the yearly depreciation
Yearly depreciation = ((amount to be depreciated/useful life) * years used) =
(641.400/10*8) = 513.120
then the journal entry to record the monthly depreciation for 8 years is
Depreciation expense 513.120
Acc Depreciation 513.120
* Post the Journal Entry to record the sell of FA
You have to reverse the Acc Depreciation and credit the FA
Cash 152.500
Fixed assets 690.000
Acc depreciation 513.120
Loss on sale of FA 24.380
