Answer:

a) $130,000

b)Equity = $110,500

Value of debt = $30,000

c) $10,500

d) 35%

Explanation:

Given:

Tax rate = 35%

Earnings before tax & interests = $10,000

Risk free interest rate = 5.0%

a) Suppose the firm has no debt and pays out its net income as a dividend each year. What is the value of the firm’s equity?

First find net income.

Net income = $10,000(1 - 0.35)

= $(10,000 - 0.65)

= $6,500

Since net income is $6,500 it means equity shareholders receive dividends of $6,500 annually without risk.

Therefore,

equity = Net income / risk free rate

= 6500/0.05

= $130,000

Equity = $130,000

b) First find net income:

($10,000 - $1,500)(1 - 0.35)

($8,500)(0.65) = $5,525

Net income = $5,525

Find equity:

Equity = Net income / risk free rate

= $5,525 / 0.05

= $110,500

Equity = $110,500

Value of debt:

Use the formula below to find value of debt:

Debt = Interest / risk free rate

= $1,500 / 0.05

= $30,000

Value of debt = $30,000

c) Find the total value of the firm with leverage:

$110,500 + $30,000

= $140,500

The total value of the firm without leverage: $130,000

Now, the difference between the total value of the firm with leverage and without leverage:

$140,500 - $130,000

= $10,500

Difference = $10,500

d) Find the percentage difference:

% difference = difference/debt * 100

= \frac{10500}{30000} * 100

0.35 * 100 = 35 percent

The year-end 2018 balance sheet of Brandex Inc. listed common stock and other paid-in capital at $1,400,000 and retained earning
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The firm paid $630000 dividends in 2019

Explanation:

Retained earnings is the amount of net income that is not distributed to stockholders and is ploughed back into the business. It is a capital reserve account and appears in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. To determine the amount of Dividends, we will trace the change in Retained earnings and deduct the increase in retained earnings amount from the Net Income to arrive at dividends for the year.

Increase in Retained earnings = 4000000 - 3700000  =  $300000

Thus, out of the Net Income of $930000 earned in 2019, $300000 was transferred to retained earnings. The remaining was paid as dividends.

The dividends in 2019 are = 930000 - 300000 = $630000
