Answer:

a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?

stock price at ex-right = [(3 x $80) + $53] / 4 = $73.25

cost of ex-right = $80 - $73.25 = $6.75

the rights are underpriced since they are sold at $2, and they should sell at $6.75

b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.

You can purchase 3 rights at $6 and then pay subscription price ($53) and you would have an stock at $59. Your profit = $65 - $59 = $6 per stock.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

$11.59 million

Explanation:

The computation of earning before interest and tax is shown below:-

Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating cash flow

$8.17 million = Operating cash flow - $2.17 million

Operating cash flow = $10.34 million

For calculating the earning before interest

Operating cash flow = Earning before interest - Taxes + Depreciation

$10.34 million = Earning before interest - $2.17 million + $0.92 million

= $10.34 million = Earning before interest - $1.25 million

Earning before interest = $11.59 million

Katen [24]

Answer: Investment for Desmond and US foreign direct investment.

This is an investment for Desmond because he owns the store. He is therefore the equity shareholder and investor into the store.

It is also a U.S. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) because FDI is what describes a situation where an entity from a country goes to another country and sets up a business there that they will own and operate. Desmond being a U.S. citizen is operating a store in another country so this is U.S. FDI.

Explanation:

since these three transactions involved capital gains or losses (investments lasted more than 1 year), they will be taxed using the capital gains tax rate = 15%

total capital gains = $3,000 (painting) + $5,000 (stocks) - $1,000 (other stocks) = $7,000

total taxes due = $7,000 x 15% capital gains tax rate = $1,050
