Answer:

1. The Value of a levered firm can be calculated using WACC which means that if you have the Value, you can compute WACC.

The formula is;

Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)

Value of leveraged firm = Value of Equity + Value of Debt

= 100 + 40

= $140 million

Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)

140 = 7 ( WACC - 3%)

140 * WACC - 4.2 = 7

WACC = 0.08

= 8%

2. Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm

Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate

WACC before tax = WACC + (Debt/(Debt + Equity))*Cost of Debt*(Tax Rate)

= 8% + (40/ 140) * 7.5%(35%)

= 8.75%

Value of unleveraged  Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate

= 7 /( 8.75% - 3%)

= $121.74 million

= $122 million

Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm

= 140 - 122

= $18 million

A company manufactures 1,200 cylinders per day, each requiring a pressure gauge. The purchase price of the pressure gauge is $3.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given weekly demand = 1200 units

Number of weeks per year = 45

Annual demand (D) = weekly demand × number of weeks per year = 1200 × 45 = 54,000 units

Ordering cost(C) = $55

Holding cost (H) = 25% of purchase price = 25% of $3.20 = 0.25*$3.20 = $0.8

EOQ = √(2DC/H)  = √[(2 × 54,000 × 55) / 0.8]  = √(5,940,000/0.8)  = √7,425,000  = 2,725 units

Answer is D - 2,725 units

The bond, which has a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate equal to 10 percent, matures in six years. Interest is paid every six
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Market value of bond = 841.14

Explanation:

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate.

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Semi annual interest payment

= 10% × 1,000× 1/2 = 50

PV of interest payment

A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- semi-annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%

n- 6× 2 = 12

= 50× (1-(1.07^(-12)/0.07

= 397.13

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = $1000 × (1.07)^(-12)

= 444.011

Step 3

Price of bond

= 397.13 +444.01

=841.14

Market value of bond = 841.14
