Answer:

If the museum engages in price discrimination and decides to take both "contracts" (adults and students), the profit the museum will earn is $800.

And it goes like this:

Adults: 100 x $12 = 1.200

Students: 200 x $8 = 1.600

Income: 1.200 + 1.600 = 2.800 total incomes if both contracts happens in the same day.

Profit: 2.800 (Income) - 2.000 (costs) = 800 profit

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises: Debt: 9,300 7.4 percent coupon bonds outstanding, wit
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a. Cost of debt = 5.03%.

b. Cost of equity = 11.47%

c. Cost of preferred stock = 4.90%

Explanation:

a. Calculation of cost of debt

The bond's Yield to Maturity is the before tax cost of debt and it can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of semiannuals to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 21 * 2 = 42

r = semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 7.4% / 2 = 0.074 / 2 = 0.037

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = semiannual coupon rate * Face value = 0.037 * $2,000 = $74 = 74

pv = present value = quoted bond price = 108.75% * fv = 108.75% * 2000 = 2,175 = 2175

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 2000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(42,74,-2175,2000) * 2 ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(42,74,-2175,2000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.62%.

Therefore, we have:

After tax cost of debt = YTM * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.62% * (100% - 24%) = 5.03%

Therefore, cost of debt is 5.03%.

b. Calculation of cost of equity

Based on the information in the question, the return on equity can be calculated using the dividend discount model and capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formulae.

b-1. Using the dividend discount model formula, we have:

P = D1 / (r – g) ………………………. (3)

Where:

P = Common stock selling price per share = $66.40

D1 = Next year dividend = $4.60

r = return on equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 5.4%, or 0.054

Substituting the value into equation (3) and solve for r, we have:

66.40 = 4.60 / (r – 0.054)

66.40(r – 0.054) = 4.60

66.40r - 3.5856 = 4.60

66.40r = 4.60 + 3.5856

66.40r = 8.1856

r = 8.1856 / 66.40

r = 0.1233, or 12.33%

b-2. Using CAMP formula, cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Return on equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta(Expected return – Risk free rate) = 4.55% + (1.09 * (10.1% - 4.55%)) = 10.60%

b-3. The cost of equity can therefore be calculated as the average of the returns of equity from the two formulae is as follows:

Cost of equity = (12.33% + 10.60%) / 2 = 11.47%

c. Calculation of cost preferred stock

Note that since the preferred stock selling price per share is $95.90, it indicates that it par value is $100 and is being sold at a discount. Therefore, we have:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred stock dividend rate * Preferred stock par value) / Preferred stock selling price per share = (4.70% * 100) / 95.90 = 0.0490, or 4.90%

At the beginning of Year 2, the company repurchased and retired 1,100 shares at $8.10 per share. Prepare the appropriate journal
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have two journal entries to be able record the repurchase and retirement of the shares

First journal to record the share repurchased

Dr Treasury stock 8,910

Cr Cash 8,910

While the second journal is to record the retirement of share repurchased:

Dr Common stock 1,100

Dr Paid-in capital common stock 2,310

Dr Retained Earning 5,500

Cr Treasury stock 8,910

To record the share repurchased:

The Treasury stock account is debited with the amount that is equals to cash paid for stock that is been repurchased, therefore, offsetting entry is credit Cash account = Number of share repurchased multiply Price purchase

= 1,100 * 8.1

= $8,910

Also, to record the retirement of share repurchased:

The common stock account is been debited at the amount = Par value multiply by Share retired

= 1 * 1,100

= $1,100

As one common stock is carried $2.1 value excess of par ( which is calculated as 168,210 / 80,100); paid-in capital account is debited by $2,310 ( 1,100 * 2.1)

The retained earning is been debited by the amount is calculated as follows,;

Number of share retired multiply by ( Price at retired - Par value - Excess of par value) = 1,100 * ( 8.1 -1-2.1) = $5,500

Treasury account is debited $8,910 to bring the balance of this account to zero as stocks repurchased are fully retired.

When a company expands by entering a new business area, it is called growth through diversification. 

Diversity is the means of being different, new, exciting.. something not like another. When a business enters something new, it's called diversification because it's not like what they've done before. With this comes risk but huge growth potential.
