Answer:

The unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Explanation:

For computing the value of unlevered firm, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

Value of levered firm = Earning before interest and taxes × (1 - tax rate) ÷ cost of equity

where,

Earnings before income and taxes are $218,000

Cost of equity is 16.3%

And, the tax rate is 35%

Now put these values on the above formula

So, the value would be equals to

= $218,000 × (1 - 0.35) ÷ 16.3%

= $141,700 ÷ 16.3%

= $869325.15

The other terms like bonds and the annual coupon should not be considered in the computation part because we have to calculate for unlevered firm which only includes equity and the bond is a debt security. Thus, it is irrelevant.

Hence,  the unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
