The company's tax rate is 40% and its debt ratio is 50%. The firm's debt will be financed by an conservative policy using $6 million of short-term debt.

Answer:

Laserscope Inc.

Return on Equity (ROE):

= $1,466,400/$18,000,000 * 100

= 8.15%

Explanation:

a) Laserscope's Return on Equity (ROE) is a financial performance measure, calculated by dividing the net income or Earnings After Tax (EAT) by its total shareholders' equity.  It is usually expressed as a percentage.  So the above calculation is further multiplied by 100.

b) Data and Calculations:

Current assets = $16

Fixed assets = $20

Total assets = $36

Debt ratio = 50%  of $36 million = $18 million

Therefore, Stockholders' equity = 50% (1 - 50%) or $18 million

EBIT = $4.1 million

Short-term debt = $6 million

Long-term debt = $12 million

Interest on short-term debt = $420,000 (7% * $6 million)

Interest on long-term debt = $1,236,000 (10.3% * $12 million)

Total interest expense = $1,656,000

Earnings before interest and taxes = $4,100,000

Interest expense                                   1,656,000

Earnings before taxes                          2,444,000

Company tax (40%)                                (977,600)

Earnings after taxes (EAT)                 $1,466,400

A company currently pays a dividend of $2.8 per share (D0 = $2.8). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a ra
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Intrinsic value: 53.41 dollars

Explanation:

First, we use the CAPM model to know the value of the stock

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.085

premium market =(market rate - risk free) = 0.045

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.3

Ke= 0.085 + 1.3 (0.045)  

Ke 0.14350

Now we need to know the present value of the future dividends:

D0 = 2.8

D1 = D0 x (1+g) = 2.8 * 1.23 = 3.444

D2 3.444 x 1.23 = 4.2361200

The next dividends, which are at perpetuity will we solve using the dividned grow model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

In this case dividends will be:

4.23612 x 1.07 = 4.5326484

return will be how return given by CAPM and g = 7%

plug this into the Dividend grow model.

\frac{4.5326484}{0.1435 - 0.07} = Intrinsic \: Value

value of the dividends at perpetity: 61.6686857

FInally is important to note this values are calculate in their current year. We must bring them to present day using the present value of a lump sum:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

\frac{3.444}{(1 + 0.1435)^{1} } = PV

3.011805859

\frac{4.23612}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2} } = PV

3.239633762

\frac{61.6686857}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2}} = PV

47.16201531

We add them and get the value of the stock:

53.413455

Paul [167]

Answer:

$39,220

Explanation:

The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012

= Principal + Interest

= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%

= $40,000 + $2,400

= $ 42,400

The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011

= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)

= 9 months.

Amount of deduction  

= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12

= $ 3,180

Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be

= Maturity value - Discount

= $42,400 - $ 3,180

= $39,220
