Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical companies except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will

remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 80 percent for the next year, and the probability of a recession is 20 percent. If the expansion continues, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $3.7 million. If a recession occurs, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.1 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the company to pay $910,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the company to pay $1.2 million at the end of the year. Neither company pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent.

Steinberg's equity:

a-2.

Dietrich's debt:

Dietrich's equity:

b. Disagree as the values of the two companies are the same ( please see below Explanation for further clarification)

Explanation:

It is clear to determine that the value of debt and equity of the two firms is the present value of cash flow received in 1 year, discounted at 12%.

a-1.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Steinberg will receive $910,000 regardless of its EBIT. -=> Thus, Steinberg's debt present value = 910,000 / 1.12 = $812,500

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Steinberg's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 910,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-910,000) = $2,270,000.

=> Thus, Steinberg's equity present value = $2,270,000/ 1.12 = $2,026,786

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E = 812,500 + 2,026,786 = $2,839,286 ( note: no tax applied)

a-2.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Dietrich will receive $1,200,000 when the business expands while only $1,100,000 when the business goes into recession (i.e business loss is 100,000):  0.8 x 1,200,000 + 0.2 x 1,100,000 = $1,180,000

=> Thus, Dietrich's debt present value = 1,180,000 / 1.12 = $1,053,571

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Dietrich's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 1,200,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-1,100,000) = $2,000,000.

=> Thus, Dietrich's equity present value = 2,000,000 / 1.12 = $1,785,714

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E =$1,053,571+$1,785,714  = $2,839,286( note: no tax applied)

a-3.

From the calculation, it is clear that the values of the two companies are the same.

Western company begins the year with $50,000 of inventory on hand. During 2018, western purchases additional inventory for $100,
slava [35]

Answer:

Debit cost of goods sold $40,000

Explanation:

As with the details of inventory we have:

Opening value of inventory = $50,000

Purchases = $100,000

Thus, total inventory = $150,000

On the closing date we have the balance of inventory in hand = $110,000

Therefore, cost of goods sold = Total inventory - Closing

= $150,000 - $110,000 = $40,000

Cost of goods sold is an expense, and shall be debited.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

9.2%

Explanation:

expected return of the investment = potential return x chance of each return happening

Expected return of the investment:

  • 20% chance of occurring x 30% potential return = 0.2 x 30% = 6%
  • 50% chance of occurring x 10% potential return = 0.5 x 10% = 5%
  • 30% chance of occurring x -6% potential return = 0.3 x -6% = -1.8%
  • total expected return = 9.2%

Total amount collected = $94,400

Explanation:

Given:

1st investment = $25,000

2nd Investment = $35,000

3rd investment = $45,000

Computation of total amount:

Total\ amount = \frac{25,000}{1} +\frac{35,000}{(1+r)^1} +\frac{45,000}{(1+r)^3} \\\\Total\ amount = \frac{25,000}{1} +\frac{35,000}{(1+0.07)^1} +\frac{45,000}{(1+0.07)^3} \\\\Total\ amount = \frac{25,000}{1} +\frac{35,000}{(1.07)^1} +\frac{45,000}{(1.07)^3} \\\\Total\ amount = \frac{25,000}{1} +\frac{35,000}{(1.07)} +\frac{45,000}{(1.2250)} \\\\Total\ amount = 25,000 +32,710.28 +36,734.6939 \\\\Total\ amount = 94,444 \\\\

Total amount collected = $94,400
