Firm X is being acquired by Firm Y for $35,000 worth of Firm Y stock. The incremental value of the acquisition is $2,500. Firm X

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$34,789

Explanation:

Worth of stocks = $35,000

Incremental value of the acquisition = $2,500

Stock outstanding of Firm X = 2,000

Price per share of Firm X = $16

Stock outstanding of Firm Y = 1,200

Price per share of Firm Y = $40

Now,

Number of shares issued = 35,000 ÷ 40

or

= 875 shares

Value after merger = (Value of Stock x + Value of Stock Y + Synergy)

= (1200 × 40) + (2000 × 16) + 2500

or

= $82,500

Number of Stock Outstanding after merger = ( 1,200 + 875 )

= 2,075

Thus,

Value per share after merger = $82500 ÷ 2,075

= 39.759

Therefore,

Actual cost of acquisition

= Value per share after merger × Number of shares issued

= 875 × $39.759

= $34,789

In the past year, TVG had revenues of $2.95 million, cost of goods sold of $2.45 million, and depreciation expense of $178,000.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

3.5

Explanation:

Computation for the firm’s times interest earned ratio

Revenues$ 2.95 million

Cost of goods sold$ 2.45 million

Depreciation expense$ 178,000.00

Book values of Debt outstanding$ 1.15 million

Interest rate8.00

First step is to calculate for the EBIT

Using this formula

EBIT= Revenues -(Cost of goods sold +Depreciation expense$ 178,000.00)

EBIT=$2,950,000-($2,450,000+$178,000)

EBIT=$2,950,000- $2,628,000

EBIT=$322,000

Second step is to find the Interest

Using this formula

Interest =Debt outstanding with book value ×Interest rate

Let plug in the formula

Interest =$1,150,000×8%

Interest =$92,000

Now let find the firm’s times interest earned ratio

Using this formula

Firm’s times interest earned ratio=EBIT/INTEREST

Where,

EBIT=$322,000

INTEREST=$92,000

Let plug in the formula

Firm’s times interest earned ratio=$322,000/$92,000

Firm’s times interest earned ratio =3.5

Therefore the firm’s times interest earned ratio will be 3.5

PLS HELPPP FASTTT!!!! Which of the following is not consistent with the efficient market hypothesis?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

c. News has no effect on stock prices.

Explanation:

A foreign exchange market can be defined as a type of market where the currency of a country is converted to that of another country. For example, the conversion of the United States of America dollars into naira, rands, yen, pounds, euros, etc., at the foreign exchange market.

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.

The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis which states that, asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market. Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.

According to the efficient market hypothesis, News has an effect on

the prices at which a stock is sold because it affects demand and supply.

Derek just received a bonus and wishes to set aside a portion of it in order to save for a 10-year reunion cruise that his old c

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

$3,168

Explanation:

We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.

This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:

Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n

Here

Future Value is $4000

r is 6%

n is 4 years

So by putting values, we have:

Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years

Present value = $3,168
