Beranek Corp has $695,000 of assets (which equal total invested capital), and it uses no debt - it is financed only with common

equity. The new CFO wants to employ enough debt to raise the total debt to total capital ratio to 40%, using the proceeds from borrowing to buy back common stock at its book value. How much must the firm borrow to achieve the target debt ratio?

Answer:

$278,000

Explanation:

Data provided:

Total invested capital or assets = $695,000

Total debt to total capital ratio = 40%

now,

\frac{\textup{Total debt}}{\textup{Total capital}} = \frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{100}}

or

Total debt = 0.4 × Total capital

or

Total debt = 0.4 × $695,000

or

Total debt = $278,000

Hence,

The firm must borrow $278,000 to achieve the desired ratio

Degger [83]

Answer: A. Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.

B. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.

C. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.

Explanation:

The statements that are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities include:

• No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.

• Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.

• Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.

Also, the owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital. We should note that for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, the equity is the owners capital account which can be seen on the balance sheet.

Based on the above explanation, all the options given above are correct.

If discount rate is 8%

PV of Cash Flows :

($830 / 1.08^1) + ($1,150 / 1.08^2) + ($1,410 / 1.08^3) + ($1,550 / 1.08^4)

A company just paid a $2 dividend per share. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 10% for 2 years, after which
Olin [163]

Answer:

Do =  $2.00

D1= Do(1+g)1 =  $2(1+0.1)1 = $2.20

D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.1)2 = $2.42

PHASE 1

V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2  

V1 = 2.20/(1+0.11) + 2.42/(1+0.11)2  

V1 = $1.9820 + $1.9641

V1 = $3.9461

PHASE 2

V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        V2 = $2.42(1+0.03)/(0.11-0.03)(1+0.11)2      

V2 = $2.4926/$0.0649

V2 = $38.4068

The current stock price is calculated as follows:

Po = V1 + V2

Po = $3.9461 + $38.4068

Po = $42.35

Explanation: This question relates to valuation of shares with 2-phase growth model.  The value of shares in the first phase will be determined by discounting the dividend for the 2 years by cost of equity. The dividends for year 1 and year 2 were obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid (Do) to growth rate.  

Moreso, the value of shares for the second phase was calculated by considering the last dividend paid(D2) and then subject it to the new growth rate. The adjusted dividend was then capitalized at the appropriate discount rate of the company.
