Answer:
a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not change, what is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
ii. If the risk of the debt increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part (i)?
- If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.
Explanation:
common stock $200 million
total debt $100 million
required rate of return 15%
cost of debt 6%
current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million
if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12
if instead new debt is issued at 6%:
equity 150 million, debt 150 million
cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million
remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million
ROI = 27/150 = 18%
Answer: $27,864
Explanation:
The amount that should be recorded as other comprehensive income is the fair value less the sales price and the amortized premiums to reflect the true value of the investment,
= 1,164,000 - 1,129,896 - 3,048 - 3,192
= $27,864
$27,864 is the amount Crane Company should report as other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Answer and Explanation:
There is no contract between Time's and Joshua, because it is not legally binding to each other and it has not been signed by either party. So not a single party is liable for the contract as the contract is unsigned and non-liable
Time has used it as a promotional means only for promoting magazine subscriptions.
Therefore, a case can not be built on letter-based basis.
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $2,500 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standards for each cap allow 2.00 yards of soft for $2.00 per yard. During January, the company purchased 25,000 yards of soft fabric at $2.10 per yard, to produce 12,000 caps.
<u>To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2 - 2.1)*25,000
Direct material price variance= $2,500 favorable
