Commonwealth Construction (CC) needs $1 million of assets to get started, and it expects to have a basic earning power ratio of

20%. CC will own no securities, so all of its income will be operating income. If it so chooses, CC can finance up to 30% of its assets with debt, which will have an 11% interest rate. If it chooses to use debt, the firm will finance using only debt and common equity, so no preferred stock will be used. Assuming a 35% tax rate on all taxable income, what is the difference between CC's expected ROE if it finances these assets with 30% debt versus its expected ROE if it finances these assets entirely with common stock?

<span>This is my thought and is contingent on interest expense being tax deductible to the corporation. </span>

<span>Under the equity scenario. Taxes are $80,000 or 40% of $200,000 which is 20% of the $1mm asset base. So the $120,000 earnings after tax divided by the $1mm base is 12% </span>

<span>With 50% leverage, you deduct $40,000 (8% of $500,000 financing) and taxes on remaining amount. The new equity base is smaller at $500,000 so the ROE is higher at 19.2%.</span>

aev [14]

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Answers are journal entries, in the explanation box

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3><u>Bonds:</u></h3>

Bonds is an interest bearing security or long term promissory note that a company represents while borrowing money with the interested investors.

<h2><u>Requirement 1:</u></h2><h2><u>Prepare the journal entries on August 1, 2021, to record:</u></h2><h3><u>Requirement 1(a):</u></h3>

The issuance of the bonds by Limbaugh (L)

<u>Solution:</u>

<u>Following is the journal entry for the issuance of bonds on August 1, 2021:</u>

<u>1st August 2021:</u>

Debit: Cash  $31,200,000 <u>(Working 1)</u>

Debit: Discount on bonds payable  $3,600,000 <u>(Working 3: Note 1)</u>

Credit: Bonds payable  $30,000,000

Credit: Equity - stock warrants $4,800,000 <u>(Working 2)</u>

<u>Working 1:</u>

Calculation of cash received:

Cash received = Face value × Issued rate

Cash received = $30,000,000 × 104%

Cash received = $31,200,000

<u></u>

<u>Working 2:</u>

<u>Calculation of amount of equity - stock warrants:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Market price per warrant × number of warrants × number of bonds

Equity - stock warrants = $8 × 20 warrants × (30,000,000÷ 1,000 bonds)

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000

<u>Working 3: </u>

<u>Calculate the discount on bonds payable:</u>

Discount on bonds payable = Bonds payable + Equity stock warrants - Cash received

Discount on bonds payable = $30,000,000 + $4,800,000 - $31,200,000

Discount on bonds payable = $3,600,000

<u>Note 1:</u> Since discount on bonds issues is an expense, therefore, it is debited.

<h3><u>Requirement: 1 (b)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries on August 1, 2021, to record the investment by Interstate (I).</u>

<u></u>

The following is the journal entry on August 1, 2021 to record the investment by Interstate (I) i.e. investor:

Debit: Investment in stock $960,000 (Working 4)

Debit: Investment in bonds $6,000,000 (Working 5)

Credit: Discount on bonds investment $720,000 (Working 7)

Credit: Cash $6,240,000 (Working 6)

<u>Working 4: </u>

<u>Calculate the investment in stock warrants:</u>

Investment in stock warrant = Equity - stock warrant × 20%

Investment in stock warrant = $4,800,000 × 20%

Investment in stock warrant  = $960,000

Working 5:

Calculate the amount of investment in bonds:

Investment in bonds = Face value × 20%

Investment in bonds = $30,000,000 × 20%

Investment in bonds = $6,000,000

<u>Working 6:</u>

Calculate the amount of cash paid:

Cash paid = Face value × issued rate × 20%

Cash paid = $30,000,000 × 104% × 20%

Cash paid = $6,240,000

<u>Working 7:</u>

<u>Calculate discount on bond investment:</u>

Discount on bond investment = Investment in stock warrants + Investment in bonds - Cash paid

Discount on bond investment = $960,000 + $6,000,000 - $6,240,000

Discount on bond investment = $720,000

<h2><u>Requirement 2:</u></h2><h2><u>Prepare the journal entries for both Limbaugh and Interstate in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u></h2>

<h3><u>Requirement 2(a)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries for Limbaugh in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u>

Solution:

Following is the journal entry for exercise of warrants by <u>Limbaugh</u>:

Debit: Cash: $7,200,000 (Working 8)

Debit: Equity - stock warrants $960,000 (Working 9)

Credit: Common stock - equity $8,160,000

<u>Working 8: </u>

<u>Amount of cash received from the exercise:</u>

Amount of cash received from the exercise = Exercise price per warrant × Number of warrants × Number of bonds × 20%

Amount of cash received from the exercise = $60 × 20 warrants × ($30,000,000/$1,000) × 20%

Amount of cash received from the exercise = $7,200,000

<u>Working 9:</u>

<u>Amount of equity - stock warrants from exercise:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Total equity stock-warrants × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000 × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $960,000

<u>Working 10:</u>

<u>Amount of common stock:</u>

Amount of common stock = Cash received + equity - stock warrants

Amount of common stock = $7,200,000 + $960,000

Amount of common stock = $8,160,000

<h3><u>Requirement 2(b)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries for Interstate in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u>

Solution:

The journal entry is as follows:

Debit: Investment in common stock: $8,160,000 (Working 13)

Credit: Investment in stock warrants: $960,000 (Working 11)

Credit: Cash: $7,200,000 (Working 12)

Working 11:

<u>Amount of equity - stock warrants from exercise:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Total equity stock-warrants × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000 × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $960,000

<u>Working 12:</u>

<u>Calculate the amount of cash paid for exercise:</u>

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = Exercise price per warrant × Number of warrants × Number of bonds × 20%

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = $60 × 20 warrants × ($30,000,000/$1,000) × 20%

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = $7,200,000

<u>Working 13:</u>

<u>Investment in common stock:</u>

<u>Amount of common stock:</u>

Investment in common stock = Cash paid + Investment in stock warrants

Investment in common stock = $7,200,000 + $960,000

Investment in common stock = $8,160,000
