Answer:

a. Market signaling studies suggest that the price of existing FARO shares will fall.

b. $60,000,000

c. 8.403%

d. $38.471

Explanation:

Given

New Shares: $200,000,000

Existing Shares: $17,000,000

Price per Share: 42

a.

Because the stock of the FARO Technologies is overvalued at the current price

b.

Expected Loss: 30% * New Shares Size

New Shares Size = $200,000,000 (given)

Expected Loss = 30% * $200,000,000

Expected Loss = $60,000,000

c.

Percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity = Ratio of New Expected Share Value to Existing Share Value

Expected Share Value = $60,000,000

Existing Share Value = Price per Shares * Existing Shares

Existing Share Value = 42 * $17,000,000

Existing Share Value = $714,000,000

Percentage of FARO's Existing Equity = $60,000,000 ÷ $714,000,000

Percentage = 8.403%

d.

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell

= Price per Share (1 - Percentage of Existing Equity)

Price per Share = 42

Percentage Existing Equity = 8.403%

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42(1-8.403%)

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42(1-0.08403)

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = 42 * 0.91597

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = $38.47074

The price FARO should expect its existing shares to sell = $38.471 ----- Approximated

fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when product

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of variable cost per unit

Units Total cost

High method 15,000×$5 per units =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low method 5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference 10,000 $25,000

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50

You are saving for retirement. To live comfortably, you decide you will need to save $ 4 million by the time you are 65. Today

olasank [31]

Answer: $50,846.3701

Explanation:

Need to save $4 million to live comfortably,

Interest rate, r = 3%

N = 40 years

$Present\ value=\frac{FV_{N} }{(1+i)^{N}}$

$Present\ value=\frac{4,000,000 }{(1+0.03)^{40}}$

$Present\ value=\frac{4,000,000 }{3.262}$

= 1,226,241.57

$Present\ value\ of\ annuity= C\times\frac{1}{i}\times(1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{N}}) + C$

$1,226,241.57= C\times\frac{1}{0.03}\times(1-\frac{1}{(1.03)^{40}})+C$

$1,226,241.57= C\times\frac{1}{0.03}\times(1-\frac{1}{(1.03)^{40}})+C$

$1,226,241.57=C[\frac{1}{0.03}\times(1-0.3065)+1]$

$1,226,241.57=24.1166\times C$

$C=\frac{1,226,241.57}{24.1166}$

= $50,846.3701

Hence, $50,846.3701 will be the annual payment to have $4 million in the account on 65th birthday.

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm’s t

posledela

Answer:

Based on the DuPont equation and given information, ROE of Harrington Inc is 13.818%.

Explanation:

We have to find the total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc in order to apply the DuPont equation for finding ROE because net income, sales of Harrington Inc. are already given.

- To find Harrington Inc's total debt, apply the Debt-to-capital formula: The Harrington Inc's total debt/The Harrington Inc's total capital = 45% => Harrington Inc's total debt = The Harrington Inc's total capital * 45% = $250,000 x 45% = $112,500;

- To find Harrington Inc's total equity, apply the accounting equation Asset = Liabilities + Owner's Equity: The Harrington Inc's total equity = The Harrington Inc's total asset - The Harrington Inc's total debt = $250,000 - $112,500 = $137,500;

- Using the Dupont equation, calculate the ROE as followed:

(NI/Sales)* (Sales/ Total assets) * (Total assets/ Total common equity) = (19,000/325,000) * ( 325,000/ 250,000) * (250,000/137,500) = 13.818%.

- Thus, the ROE = 13.818%.
