The president and CFO of Spellman Transportation are having a disagreement about whether to use market value or book value weigh

ts in calculating the WACC. Spellman's balance sheet shows a total of noncallable $45 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 7.00% and a yield to maturity of 6.00%. This debt currently has a market value of $50 million. The company has 10 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $65 million. The current stock price is $22.50 per share; stockholders' required return, r s , is 14.00%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. The CFO thinks the WACC should be based on market value weights, but the president thinks book weights are more appropriate. What is the difference between these two WACCs?a. 1.55%b. 1.72%c. 1.91%d. 2.13%e. 2.36%

Answer:

Difference = 2.36% (Option e)

Explanation:

Formula:

WACC = Re*(E/V) + Rd*(D/V)*(1-t)

<u>Data (In Million)                  Book Value                 Market Value </u>

E = Equity                           $65.00                        $225.00 ($22.50 x 10)

D = Debt                             $45.00                        $50.00

V = Value = E + D               $110.00                      $275.00

Re = Equity Rate                14%                            14%

Rd = Debt Rate                   6%                              6%

T = Tax Rate                      40%                             40%

WACC Book Value:

WACC = 14%*(65/110) + 6%*(45/110)*(1-0.40)  

WACC = 8.27273% + 1.47273%

WACC = 9.75%

WACC Market Value:

WACC = 14%*(225/275) + 6%*(50/275)*(1-0.40)  

WACC = 11.45455% + 0.65455 %

WACC = 12.11%

Difference = 12.11% - 9.75 = 2.36% (Option e)

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: Revised Model Business Corporation Act.

Explanation:

The United States corporate laws are regulated by the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA). The Act was born as a need for disambiguation of liabilities incurred by corporations where it was not clear if owners were personally liable for debts of the organization.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The answer is: Projected net sales for this year are $45,254

Explanation:

The current total sales for MG Lighting are $50,000 (= 500 units x $100 per unit).

Next year their products will have a $10 increase (10%), so the unit price will be $110.

Due to the price increase, the number of units sold will decrease by 15%, to a total of 425 units.

MG Lighting total sales will be $46,750. Approximately 3.2% of the total sales will be returned (equivalent to $1,496).

MG Lighting net sales for this year should be $45,254 (= 46,750 - $1,496)
