The Modigliani and Miller (MM) articles implicitly assumed that bankruptcy did not exist. That led to the development of the "tr

ade-off" model, where the firm's value first rises with the use of debt due to the tax shelter of debt, but later falls as more debt is added because the potential costs of bankruptcy begin to more than offset the tax shelter benefits. Under the trade-off theory, an optimal capital structure exists.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The trade off theory states that capital structure decisions involve a trade off between costs and benefits of debt financing. Originally MM argued that a firm's capital structure should be 100% debt, but after accounting for bankruptcy costs, then the firm's capital structure should be less than 100% debt. Companies must substitute debt for equity at different levels (or vice versa if needed) until they reach a balance where the firm's value is maximized.

Handy Man, Inc., has zero coupon bonds outstanding that mature in eight years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a curre
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5.657%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Face value = $1,000

Current market price = $640

Time of maturity, t = 8 year

Now,

the compounding formula is given as:

Face value = Current amount × (1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where,

r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt

n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2

thus, on substituting the values, we get

$ 1,000= $ 640 × (1+\frac{r}{2})^{2\times8}

or

1.5625 = (1+\frac{r}{2})^{16}

or

(1+\frac{r}{2}) = 1.0282

or

r = 0.05657

or

pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%

Darya [45]

Answer:

Part 1

D.E = $5,300

Part 2

a. Book Value = $61,900

b. Book Value = $122,500

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings

<em>Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price</em>

<u>Calculation of the Cost of Building</u>

Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%)   $52,500

Building Renovations                      $20,000

Total                                                  $72,500

Step 2 : Depreciation calculation

<em>Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life</em>

                                      = ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10

                                      = $5,300

After Year 2

<u>Buildings :</u>

Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600

Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900

<u>Land </u>

Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500

Note : Land is not depreciated

adell [148]

Answer:

the net operating income is $19,000

= $10,000 + $20,000 - $5,000 -$6,000

= $19,000

Hence, the net operating income is $19,000

we simply deduct the cost from the revenue so that the net operating income could come
