Answer:

a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 12%

b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not​ change, what is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 18%

ii. If the risk of the debt​ increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part ​(i​)?

  • If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.

Explanation:

common stock $200 million

total debt $100 million

required rate of return 15%

cost of debt 6%

current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million

if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12

if instead new debt is issued at 6%:

equity 150 million, debt 150 million

cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million

remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million

ROI = 27/150 = 18%

Which of the following is a reason advertising can be economically wasteful? Advertising provides consumers with price and quali
babymother [125]

Answer:

The most effective advertising is very expensive and, therefore, wasteful.

Explanation:

In order for something to be considered economically wasteful it must use and dispose money carelessly.

Therefore options:

  • Advertising provides consumers with price and quality information about products.
  • Advertising manipulates people's tastes and can reduce competition.

Do not apply since the options do not consider the costs of advertisement.

The only option that considers the cost of advertisement is: The most effective advertising is very expensive and, therefore, wasteful. It refers to the high costs of effective advertisement, and it implies that the money is not used carefully.

Bobby Company has fixed costs of $160,000. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for
V125BC [204]

Answer:

1,500 units; 1,000 units

Explanation:

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost = $160,000

Sales Mix = 60% of X + 40% of Y

                = 0.6X + 0.4Y

So,

Contribution Margin of the Mix:

= (60% × contribution margin of X) + (40% × contribution margin of Y )

Contribution Margin of the Mix per unit:

= (60% × 80) + (40% × 40)

= 48 + 16

= $64

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit  

                                            = 160,000 ÷ 64

                                            = 2,500 unit

At the Level of break even :

Unit of X at break-even:

= 60% of 2,500

= 1,500 units

Unit of Y at break-even:

= 40% of 2,500

= 1,000 units

A restaurant offers a catering service which costs $19.50 per person with a $91.75 service charge. For parties of 70 or more peo
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1. T=19.5n+91.75, where n<70

2. T=15n+45, where n≥70

Explanation:

1. The first linear function can be expressed as;

Total cost of catering services=(Cost per person×number of people, n)+Service charge

where;

Total cost of catering services=T

Cost per person=$19.50

Number of people=n

Service charge=$91.75

Replacing;

T=(19.5×n)+91.75

T=19.5n+91.75

The first equation: T=19.5n+91.75, where n<70

2. The second linear function can be expressed as;

Total cost of catering services=(Cost per person×number of people, n)+Service charge

where;

Total cost of catering services=T

Cost per person=$15

Number of people=n

Service charge=$45

Replacing;

T=(15×n)+45

T=15n+45

The second equation: T=15n+45, where n≥70
