Suppose the corporate tax rate is 35%. Consider a firm that earns $10,000 before interest and taxes each year with no risk. The

firm’s capital expenditures equal its depreciation expenses each year, and it will have no changes to its net working capital. The risk-free interest rate is 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?
b. Suppose instead the firm makes interest payments of $1,500 per year. What is the value of the equity? What is the value of the debt?
c. What is the difference between the total value of the firm with leverage and without leverage?
d. To what percentage of the value of the debt is the difference in part c) equal?

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

$= \frac{10500}{30000} * 100$

$0.35 * 100 = 35 percent$

Hill Co. can further process Product O to produce Product P. Product O is currently selling for $60 per pound and costs $42 per

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

(A) True

Explanation:

Differential cost is the difference between the cost to produce Product O and produce Product P; in this case it’s the additional cost of $13 per pound to produce

So the statement “The differential cost of producing Product P is $13 per pound” is true

What is the present value on January 1, 2016, of $30,000 due on January 1, 2021, and discounted at 12% compounded annually?What

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1. Future Value = 30,000

Rate = 0.12

Annual period, NPER = 5

Present value, PV = PV(0.12, 5,0,-30,000 ,0)

Present value, PV = $17,022.81

2. Future value = 8,000

Quarterly rate = 16%/4 = 4%

Number of quarters, Nper = 4.5*4 = 18

Present value, PV = PV (4% , 18, 0, -8,000 , 0)

Present value, PV = $3,949.02

3. Future value = 8,000

Annual rate = 0.1

Annual period, Nper = 5

Present value, PV = PV(0.1, 5, 0, -8000, 0)

Present value, PV = $4,967.37

Present value Discount = 8,000 - 4,967.37

Present value Discount = $3,032.63

The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 × 106 Btu/h. The comb

e-lub [12.9K]

Solution:

Given Information,

Heat input is ( $Q_{in}$ ) = 5.5 × $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Combustion efficiency of the boiler ( $n_{furnance}$ ) = 0.7

Combustion efficiency after turn up ( $n_{furnance,now}$ ) = 0.8

Operation Hour (t) = 5200h

Unit cost (c) = $\frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }$

Calculate heat output from the boiler $Q_{out}$ = $Q_{in}$ x $n_{furnance}$

= 5.5 x $10^{6}$ x 0.7

= 3.85 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the heat input to the boiler after the tune-up

$(Q_{in} ){new}$ = $Q_{out}$ / $(n_{furnance} ){new}$

= 3.85 x $10^{6}$ / 0.8

= 4.8125 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the saved energy after the tune-up

$(Q_{in} ){saved}$ = $Q_{in}$ - $(Q_{in} ){new}$

= 5.5 x $10^{6}$ - 4.8125 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

= 0.6875 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the annual energy saving ( $E_{Saving}$ )

$E_{Saving}$ = $(Q_{in} ){saved}$ x t

= ( 0.6875 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h ) ( 5200 hr/yr)

= 3575 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the annual cost saving

Annual cost saving = $E_{Annual saving}$ x Unit cost

= 3575 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h x $\frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }$

= 82225
