Answer:

FCFF = $335.50

Explanation:

Formula of Free Cash Flow to the firm ( FCFF) :

FCFF= Net Income+ Interest(1- tax rate)+ Depreciation+ working capital changes- capital investment

Now let us note some critical points and assumptions which are necessary to solve the question.

As the question says that the company will maintain its existing after tax return on capital invested next year, hence that means that the net income for the next year remains the same, which is $140.

It is also that the company expects it's Operating Income(EBIT) to increase by 6% every year, hence it's operating income(EBIT) for the next year will be $250*(1.06)= $265

Tax rate remains the same, that is, (60/200*100)= 30%

As there is no details with respect to working capital changes and any capital investment made, hence it is assumed to zero changes and no additional investment.

It is assumed that the depreciation method being followed is straight line method, hence depreciation value next year would be the same, that is, 150

Now let's finalise our income statement:

EBIT = $265 given in the question

Interest = ( $65) backward calculation

Taxable Income = $200

Taxes (30%) = ($60)

Net income = $140 given in question.

Hence our FCFF will be :

$ 140 + $65*(1-0.30) + $150 = $335.50

Answer:

Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act

Explanation:

The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, (enacted November 12, 1999) is an act of the 106th United States Congress (1999–2001). It repealed part of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933, removing barriers in the market among banking companies, securities companies and insurance companies that prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and an insurance company. With the bipartisan passage of the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms, and insurance companies were allowed to consolidate. Furthermore, it failed to give to the SEC or any other financial regulatory agency the authority to regulate large investment bank holding companies. The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

B) underestimated the competition.

Explanation:

Maya is trying to pursue a dream of having her own bakery in a vibrant seaside resort town and thought that by using her grandmother's recipes, her business would be a success. But in order for a business to be successful, it takes more than just a great product (or great cookies, muffins, etc.).

The first thing you need to do is analyze the external environment and what other products are offered by your competition. That way you will be able to determine the opportunities or threats to you new venture. E.g. since the town hosts several upscale and expensive resorts, the clients are wealthy and that market attracts good chefs. I'm not sure if they hand out Michelin stars to bakeries, but if you have very good products offered by your competition, then you must work twice as hard.

arsen [322]

Answer:

2nd January

Dr Machinery              $178,000

  Cr Cash                    $178,000

( to record the purchase of used machine)

3rd January

Dr Machinery              $4,000

  Cr Cash                    $4,000

(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).  

Explanation:

- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.

- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.
