Answer:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale in the industry

Because as the quantity of units output increase, the cost also increase. While in economies of scale, the slope for the LRAC will be negative, as each increase in output lowers the cost.

When this occurs, there is a lower change of monopoly in the industry, as the larger firm also faces the larger cost, so the supply tend to be more diverse.

While a, indifined negative slope will generate monopolies as their cost become lower at gerater the output.

RE 46,020

Total Equity 106,020

Total Assets: 212,720‬ Total Liab + E 212,720

Explanation:

for RE we need to calculate the net income

income:

Service revenue 14,700

Insurance expense ( 780 )

Depreciation expense ( 5,300 )

Interest expense ( 2,600 )

Net income: 6,020

RE 40,000 + 6,020 = 46,020

for note payable we split the current and long term portion

93,600 - 13,600 = 80,000 long term debt

Spencer Enterprises is attempting to choose among a series of new investment alternatives. The potential investment alternatives

fomenos

Answer:

Assume: only one of the ware house expansion projects can be implemented and suppose that, if test marketing of the new product is carried out, the advertising campaign also must be conducted and vice versa. Also suppose that the purchase of new equipment cannot be undertaken unless the basic research or the extensive warehouse expansion are implemented.

Formulate the corresponding model for maximizing the net present value subject to the restrictions stated above

Yi (1 if investment alternative is selected, o otherwise)

i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Max Z = $4,000y1 + 6,000y2 + 10,500y3 + 4,000y4 + 8,000y5 + 3,000y6

∴ NPV = 17,500

Desert Rose, Inc., a prominent consumer products firm, is debating whetherto convert its all-equity capital structure to one tha

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

A. $450

B. $480

C. $540

D. The choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.

Explanation:

a) Calculation to determine her cash flow under the current capital structure

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

EPS = $29,000 / 6,500 shares

EPS = $4.5

Now let calculate the cash flow under the current capital structure

Cash flow = $4.5*(100 shares)

Cash flow = $450

Therefore her cash flow under the current capital structure will be $450

b) Calculation to determine What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

First step is to calculate the MV of the firm

MV of the firm= $45(6,500)

MV of the firm= $292,500

Second step is to calculate the Debt

Debt = .30 x ($292,500)

Debt= $87,750

Third step is to calculate the Interest

Interest =8% x $87,750

Interest = $7,020

Fourth step is to calculate the repurchase shares

Repurchase shares =$87,750 / $45

Repurchase shares= 1,950

Fifth step is to calculate the Shrout new

Shrout new =6,500 - 1,950

Shrout new=4,550

Therefore, under the new capital structure,

EPS = (EBIT - Interest) / shares outstanding new

EPS = ($29,000 -$7,020) / 4,550shares

EPS =$21,980/4,550 shares

EPS =4.8

The shareholder will receive = $4.8*(100 shares) = $480

Therefore What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm is $480

c) Calculation to Show how she could unlever her shares of stock to re-create the original structure.

Now she owns a total of 200 shares

Her payoff =[ (100 shares+100 shares) x $4.5 ]- [8% x $(100 shares x $45)]

Her payoff =(200shares×$4.5)-(8%×$4,500)

Her payoff =$900-$360

Her payoff= $540

Therefore Based on the above Calculation Allison did not successfully replicate the payoffs (b) under the proposed capital structure

d).Based on the above Calculation the choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.
