Ghost, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $369,600. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are project

ed to be $51,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 15 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 24 percent lower. The company is considering a $185,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 6 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 8,400 shares outstanding. The company has a tax rate of 24 percent, a market-to-book ratio of 1.0, and the stock price remains constant. a-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.

Answer:

Ghost Inc.

A1.

Earnings Per share (EPS)

EPS in normal projection is $4.61 per share

EPS in an expansion is $5.31 Per share

EPS in a recession is $3.51 Per share

A2.

Changes to EPS in an expansion is +15.18%

Changes to EPS in a recession is -23.86%

B1.

Earnings Per share (EPS)

EPS in normal projection is $7.23 per share

EPS in an expansion is $8.62 Per share

EPS in a recession is $5.01 Per share

B2.

Changes to EPS in an expansion is +19.23%

Changes to EPS in a recession is -30.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Underlying Information:</u>

Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT projections = $51,000

Expansionary EBIT projections = $51,000 x (100% + 15%) = $58,650

Recessionary EBIT projections = $51,000 x (100% -24%) = $38,760

Tax Rate = 24%

Market to Book Ratio = 1.0

Stock Price is constant.

Solution to A1.

<u>Scenario 1 (Projected Earnings)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBIT minus tax = $51,000 - ($51,000 x 24%)

                                                 = $51,000 - $12240

                                                 = $38,760

Outstanding shares in issue = 8,400 ordinary Shares

EPS = $38,760 divided by 8,400 shares = $4.61 Per share

<u>Scenario 2 (Projected Earnings in a strong expansion)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBIT minus tax = $58,650 - ($58,650 x 24%)

                                                 = $58,650 - $14,076

                                                 = $44,574

Outstanding shares in issue = 8,400 ordinary Shares

EPS = $44,574 divided by 8,400 shares = $5.31 Per share

<u>Scenario 3 (Projected Earnings in a Recession)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBIT minus tax = $38,760 - ($38,760 x 24%)

                                                 = $38,760 - $9,302.4

                                                 = $29,457.6

Outstanding shares in issue = 8,400 ordinary Shares

EPS = $44,574 divided by 8,400 shares = $3.51 Per share

Solution to A2.

1.Changes to EPS in an expansion = EPS (Expansion) minus EPS (normal projection), all divided by EPS (normal projection)

= (5.31 - 4.61) / 4.61

= +15.18% change during an expansion

2.Changes to EPS in a recession = EPS (Recession) minus EPS (normal projection), all divided by EPS (normal projection)

= (3.51 - 4.61) / 4.61

= -23.86% change during a recession

<u>Underlying Information:</u>

Debt issue = $185,000

Interest on debt issued = 6% = $11,100

Market to Book Ratio = 1.0

Stock Price is constant.

Therefore Share Price  = Market Value divided by Outstanding shares in issue = 369,600 / 8400 = $44

This implies our proceeds of $185,000 from debt issue would have repurchased $185,000 divided by $44 = 4,205 ordinary shares

This decision to repurchase its shares indicates the shares outstanding will reduce by 4,205. New outstanding shares will now be 4,195 shares

*Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT normal projections  = $51,000 & Earnings Before Tax  (EBT) = $51,000 minus $11,100 (debt interest) =  $39,900

*Expansionary EBIT projections = $51,000 x (100% + 15%) = $58,650 & Earnings Before Tax = $58,650 minus $11,100 (debt interest) =  $47,550

*Recessionary EBIT projections = $51,000 x (100% -24%) = $38,760 & Earnings Before Tax = $38,760 minus $11,100 (debt interest) =  $27,660

Tax Rate = 24%

Solution to B1.

<u>Scenario 1 (Projected Earnings)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBT minus tax = $39,900 - ($39,900 x 24%)

                                                 = $39,900 - $9,576

                                                 = $30,324

Outstanding shares in issue = 4,195 ordinary Shares

EPS = $30,324 divided by 4,195 shares = $7.23 Per share

<u>Scenario 2 (Projected Earnings in a strong expansion)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBT minus tax = $47,550 - ($47,550 x 24%)

                                                 = $47,550 - $11,412

                                                 = $36,138

Outstanding shares in issue = 4,195 ordinary Shares

EPS = $36,138 divided by 4,195 shares = $8.62 Per share

<u>Scenario 3 (Projected Earnings in a Recession)</u>

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = Net Income (Earnings after Tax) divided by Outstanding Shares in Issue

Net Income = EBT minus tax = $27,660 - ($27,660 x 24%)

                                                 = $27,660 - $6,638.40

                                                 = $21,021.60

Outstanding shares in issue = 4,195 ordinary Shares

EPS = $21,021.60 divided by 4,195 shares = $5.01 Per share

Solution to B2.

1.Changes to EPS in an expansion = EPS (Expansion) minus EPS (normal projection), all divided by EPS (normal projection)

= (8.62 - 7.23) / 7.23

= +19.23% change during an expansion

2.Changes to EPS in a recession = EPS (Recession) minus EPS (normal projection), all divided by EPS (normal projection)

= (5.01 - 7.23) / 7.23

= -30.71% change during a recession

An art gallery sells paintings at 0.35 per square inch. if a painting is 2 feet 3 inches by 3 feet 5 inches. how much would the
Natalka [10]

Hello!

ANSWER

The painting would cost $387.45.

____________________________________________________________

EXPLANATION

2' 3" = 27"

3' 5" = 41"

Multiply the length by the width (in inches) of the painting.

27 * 41 = 1107

We now know that the area of the painting is 1107in.^{2} Next, multiply the cost per square inch (0.35) by the total amount of square inches (1107).

.35 * 1107 = 387.45

Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 21.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 21-1 = 20.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 20 and 0.005 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 2.528

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{0.40}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.0873

Now, we multiply T and s

M = 2.528*0.0873 = 0.2207

Then

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So:

L = 3.27 - 0.2207 = 3.0493

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So:

LCL = 3.27 + 0.2207 = 3.4907

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

Interpretation:

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.
