"Commonwealth Construction (CC) needs $2 million of assets to get started, and it expects to have a basic earning power ratio of

30%. CC will own no securities, all of its income will be operating income. If it so chooses, CC can finance up to 40% of its assets with debt, which will have a 10% interest rate. If it chooses to use debt, the firm will finance using only debt and common equity, so no preferred stock will be used. Assuming a 25% tax rate on taxable income, what is the difference between CC's expected ROE if it finances these assets with 40% debt versus its expected ROE if it finances these assets entirely with common stock? Round your answer to two decimal places."

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

If CC finances with 40% debt.

Return on Equity = Net Income/ Equity

Equity = Assets * ( 1 - debt)

= 2,000,000 * ( 1 - 40%)

= $1,200,000

Debt will therefore be;

= 2,000,000 -1,200,000

= $800,000

Net Income = (Earnings before Tax and Interest - Interest) * (1 - Tax)

EBIT = Basic earning ratio of 30% = 30% * 2,000,000

= $600,000

Net Income = [600,000 - ( 800,000 * 10%)] * ( 1 - 25%)

= $390,000

Return on Equity = 390,000/1,200,000

= 0.33

= 33%

If CC finances entirely with common stock

Net Income = Earnings before Tax and Interest * (1 - Tax)

= 600,000 * ( 1 - 25%)

= $450,000

Return on Equity = Net Income/ Equity

= 450,000/2,000,000

= 0.23

= 23%

Difference between financing with 40% debt and financing entirely with equity

= 33% - 23%

= 10%

Lawler's is considering a new project. The company has a debt-equity ratio of .64. The company's cost of equity is 14.9 percent,
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Project's WACC = 12.95%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm may contain one or all of the following components - debt, preferred stock, common stock. For a firm with two components in capital structure in form of debt and equity, the WACC is calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1+tax rate)  +  wE* rE

Where,

  • wD and wE are the weights of debt and equity in the total capital structure
  • rD and rE are the cost of each component
  • We multiply the cost of debt by 1 - tax rate to calculate the after tax cost of debt

We must first determine the weight of debt and equity in total capital structure.

A debt to equity ratio of 0.64 means 0.64 debt for every 1 dollar of equity. The total assets are made up of debt + equity. So, total assets are 0.64 + 1 = 1.64

Weight of debt = 0.64 / 1.64 = 16/41

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.64 = 25/41

WACC = 16/41 * 0.053  +  25/41 * 0.149

WACC = 0.1115 or 11.15%

The projects cost of capital is 1.8% more than the company's WACC.

So, the project's cost of capital is,

Project's WACC = 11.15% + 1.8%

Project's WACC = 12.95%

 amortization 173 debit -net income

trademark 173 credit -asset

f. Sold used production equipment for $16,000 in cash. The equipment originally cost $45,000, and the accumulated depreciation account has an unadjusted balance of $23,700. It was determined that a $1,800 year-to-date depreciation entry must be recorded before the sale transaction can be recorded.

book value  45,000 - 23,700 - 1,800 = 19,500

sale price = 16,000  loss of 3,500

cash                             16,000  debit +assets

acc depreciation        23,700 debit +asset

depreciation expense  1,800 debit -net income

loss on disposal           3,500 debit -net income

equipment                                   45,000 credit -assets

Explanation:

We follow the accounting principles:

debit = credit

asset + expense = liabilities + equity + expenses

DEBIT //  CREDIT           DEBIT //  CREDIT

----------------------          ---------------------------------

+++++   //  --------             ------- ///    +++++++

Left side increase fro mdebit and decrease from credit

right side increase through credit decrease with debit.
