Answer:
a) $0.5145 million
b) $7.35 million
Explanation:
Given:
Permanent debt outstanding = $35,000,000
Expected marginal tax rate = 21%
a) Suppose they pay an interest of 7% per year on debt. Find the annual interest tax shield.
To find annual interes tax shield use the formula below:
Annual interest tax shield =Total par value of Debt × interest rate × tax rate
= $35,000,000 × 7% × 21%
= $35,000,000 × 0.07 × 0.21
= $514,500
Annual interest tax shield = $0.5145 million
b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan?
Use the formula:
Present value of the interest tax shield = Annual interest tax shield /loan interest rate
= $514,500 / 7%
= $7,350,000
present value of the interest tax shield = $7.35 million
Answer:
By formation of legally binding contract.
Explanation:
Contacts are a good way for procuring inputs that have well-defined and measurable quality specifications and require highly specialized investments. Because of the high quality expected in the goods procured, having a legally enforceable contact will make the vendor provide high quality products that meets required specifications.
However when contracts dictate a particular price, so if the market price of input were to go down we will still be obligated to buy at the higher price from the vendor.
Answer:
PART-1)
Fair value of leased asset to lessor = 25,000
Minus: PV of un-guaranteed residual value $8,250 X 0.82270 = 6,787
Amount to be recovered through lease payments = 18,213
Four periodic lease payments ($18,213 /3.72325) = 4,892
PART-2)
<u>01/01/2017
</u>
Debit: Cash = 4,892
Credit: Unearned Lease Revenue = 4,892
<u>12/31/2017</u>
Debit: Unearned Lease Revenue = 4,892
Credit: Lease Revenue = 4,892
<u>12/31/2017</u>
Debit: Depreciation Expense = 3,333
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation – Equipment = 3,333
