Answer:

Firm A should accept the project beacause it has high required rate of return which means low risk involved.

Explanation:

Rate of return = risk free return + Beta ( market risk premium)

Firm A

rate of return = 0.045 + 1.2 (0.07)

= 0.045 + 0.084

= 12.9%

Firm B ;

 rate of return = 0.045 + 0.9(0.07)

= 0.045 + 0.063

= 10.8%

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Income for investee during the year ended December 31th 2019: $ 17,200

Explanation:

Purchase value                                       525,000

Equity proportion: 1,500,000  30% =    (450,000)

                           Goodwill                         75,000

Transactions during the year:

income 60,000 x 30% =  18,000

dividends 15,000 x 30% = (4,500)

unrealized profit 2018:

30,000 = cost (1.25)

30,000 / 1.25 = 24,000

gross profit 6,000

unrealized gain: 6,000 x 30% = (1,800)

unrealized profit 2019:

40,000 = cost (1.25)

40,000/1.25 = cost

cost = 32,000

gross profit: 40,000 - 32,000 = 8,000

proportion of unrealized gain:

                   8,000 x 30% =      (2,400)

profit for 2018 realized              1,800

                    net adjustment        600

<u></u>

<u>income from investee:</u>

18,000 - 600 (net unrealized gain) = 17,200

1. Answer the below question based upon the following information on Fitbit: Fitbit Year0 Year1 RRF 2% Initial Investment -$5,00
Volgvan

Answer:

$8.53

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Total sales

= 150,000 × $400

= $60,000,000

Variable = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = $1,000,000

Depreciation = $1,500,000

Tax rate = 35% = 0.35

Net Income = (Sales - Variable - Fixed cost - Depreciation) (1 -Tax rate)

= ( $60,000,000 - $37,500,000 - $1,000,000 - $1,500,000)(1 -0.35)

= $13,000,000

Price per share

= Net income ÷ Existing Fit-bit shares

= $13,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000

= $6.5

Total IPO value = Pre-IPO value + Post-IPO value

= [$91,100,000 + (6.5 × 36,500,000)] ÷ ( 2,000,000 + 36,500,000)

= $8.53

We simply applied the above formula
