Angola United Theaters, Inc. is considering opening a new movie theater in Angola, Indiana. The relevant cost of capital is 8%.

The purchase, renovation, and modification of a downtown building would require an initial investment of $1.5 million. The theater is expected to be operational for 25 years. After 25 years, the property would be sold for $1 million. The annual operating cost is equal to $100,000 plus $2 per customer. The annual revenues are estimated at $15 per customer. Determine the minimum number of customers per year that would result in accepting the project. (Hint: use annualized worth and solve for the number of customers.)

Answer:

The minimum number of customers that result in accepting the project is 17,449

Explanation:

From the attached spreadsheet, we found the below :

(((13X -100000)*10.67478)+146017.9) =1500000

(13X-100000)*10.67478=-146017.9+1500000

(13X-100000)* 10.67478=1353982.1

13X-100000=1353982.1 /10.67478

13X=126839.3447 +100000

13X=226839.3447

X=226839.3447/13

X=17449.18

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%

For a levered firm, flotation costs should
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should <u>be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.</u>

Explanation:

When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.

Flotation is actually the costs  incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public.  it is also called issuance costs.

Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.

Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),

In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.

Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.

It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.

A monopoly is considering selling several units of a homogeneous product as a single package. a typical consumer's demand for th
just olya [345]

Answer:

A. 15 units

B. $130

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.

MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.

The consumer's demand for the product is:

Qd = 80 - 0.5P

Therefore, we have:

P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)

P = 160 - 2Qd

Recall that, Total Revenue:

TR = P * Q

So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2

MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q

Now, MR = MC

160 - 4Q = 100

4Q = 160 - 100

4Q = 60

Q = 60 / 4

Q = 15 units.

Now, P =160 - 2Q

P = 160 - 2(15)

P = 160 - 30 = 130

The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.

You buy a stock for which you expect to receive an annual dividend of $2.10 for the fifteen years that you plan on holding it. a
kap26 [50]
<span>You are given an annual dividend of $2.10 for the fifteen years that you plan on holding it. Also, after 15 years, you are given to sell the stock for $32.25. You are asked to find the present value of a share for this company if you want a 10% return. You have to mind that the future stock for 15 years is $32.25. You are not only going to mind the present value of the annuity at $2.10 but also the $32.25.

With the interest of r = 10% and number of years of n = 15, we get
PVIFA = 7.6061.

For annuity we have,
$2.10 * 7.60608 = $15.973

For $32.35 with r = 10% and n = 15
PVIF = 0.239392

Thus for the present value of selling price,
$32.25 * 0.239392 = $7.720

Thus the present value of the share
P = $15.973 + $7.720
P = $23.693

Sale price $60 $100 Variable costs $35 $60 Machine hours required for 1 vase 1 2 Total fixed costs are $600,000, and Rose Incorp
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) CM1 = 25

CM2 = 40

b) CMmh1 = 25

CMmh2 = 20

c) 25,000 units of Vase 1 and 12,500 units of Vase 2

d) OI = $ 525,000

Explanation:

a. Determine the contribution margin per unit for each type of vase.

The contribution margin per unit is equal to the difference between the sale price and the variable cost per unit:

CM_1=P_1-VC_1=60-35=25\\\\\\CM_2=P_2-VC_2=100-60=40

b. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour for each type of vase.

For the Vase 1, the number of machine hours per unit is 1. So the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 1 is equal to CM1=$25.

For the Vase 2, the number of machine hours per unit is 2. Then, the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 2 is equal to CM2=$40/2=$20.

c. Determine the number of units of each style of vase that Rose Incorporated should produce to maximize operating income.

There are 3 restrictions:

- Max 25,000 units of Vase 1

- Max 25,000 units of Vase 2

- 50,000 hours of machine hour

As the contribution margin per machine hour is higher for the Vase 1, so we start producing the more we can of Vase 1. The limit is 25,000 units.

Then, we are left with 25,000 machine hours available for Vase 2. We can produce 25,000/2=12,500 units, which is under the market constraint.

d. What is the dollar amount of the maximum operating income as calculated in C above

The operating income for the mix proposed in C is:

OI=CM_1*q_1+CM_2*q_2-FC\\\\OI=25*25,000+40*12,500-600,000\\\\OI=625,000+500,000-600,000\\\\OI=525,000
