Russell Container Corporation has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 30 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual inte

rest payment of $105 and is currently selling for $880 per bond. Russell Corp. is in a 25 percent tax bracket. The firm wishes to know what the aftertax cost of a new bond issue is likely to be. The yield to maturity on the new issue will be the same as the yield to maturity on the old issue because the risk and maturity date will be similar. a. Compute the yield to maturity on the old issue and use this as the yield for the new issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. Make the appropriate tax adjustment to determine the aftertax cost of debt. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Yield on new issue = 11.99%

After tax cost of debt = 8.99%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Future value (FV) = 1000

Period (n) = 30 years

Payment per period (PMT) = $105

Present value (PV) = $880

Tax rate = 25% = 0.25

a. Compute the yield to maturity on the old issue and use this as the yield for the new issue.

Coupon rate = (PMT ÷ par value)

Coupon rate = 105÷ 1000

Coupon rate = 10.50%

Using the financial calculator, bond yield ;

(FV, rate, period, No of payment per year, PV)

Yield on new issue = 11.99%

RATE(n,PMT, PV, FV, 0)

B.) after tax cost of debt, that is, after making necessary tax adjustments

Tax rate = 0.25

After tax cost of debt = yield × (1 - tax rate)

After tax cost = 0.1199 × (1 - 0.25)

After tax cost of debt = 0.1199 × 0.75

After tax cost of debt = 0.089925

After tax cost of debt = 8.99%

vitfil [10]

Answer:

10.53%

Explanation:

WACC = wE*rE + wP*rP + wD*rD(1-tax)

<u>Market values;</u>

Debt = 1.05 *5,000*1000 = 5,250,000

Preferred stock = 15,500 *107 = 1,658,500

Common equity = 105,000 *63 = 6,615,000

Total market value = 13,523,500

wE = 6,615,000/ 13,523,500 = 0.4891

wP= 1,658,500/13,523,500 = 0.1226

wD = 5,250,000/13,523,500 = 0.3882

<u>Cost of capital;</u>

Cost of common equity, rE using CAPM;

rE = 0.06 + (1.13*0.09) = 0.1617

rE = 16.17%

Cost of preferred stock = 6%

Cost of debt

using a financial calculator, input the following; N= 38, PV = -1050, PMT = 37.5,

FV =1000, then CPT I/Y = 3.51% . So annual rate = 3.51% *2 = 7.02%

WACC = (0.4891*0.1617) +(0.1226* 0.06) + [0.3882 *0.0702(1-0.31)]

WACC = 0.0791 + 0.007356 + 0.0188

WACC = 0.1053 or 10.53%

B. Product-Costing

i. Manufacturing Cost Per Machine Hour = Total Manufacturing overhead / Total Machine Hours

Manufacturing Cost Per Machine Hour = 359,520.00  / 21,400.00

Manufacturing Cost Per Machine Hour = 16.80

ii.  Particular                    Amount

Raw Material                     $6,240

Direct Labor Cost              <u>$9,165</u>

                                          $15,405

Manufacturing overhead  $13,104

(780 hours* $16.80)           <u>              </u>

Total Cost of 3900 Hats  <u>$28509</u>

Thus, the Cost of One hat = $28509 / 3900 hat = $7.31 per hat

iii. Total Hats made During the Month Of April    3,900

    Less: Closing Inventory                                     <u>1,050</u>  

    Sold During the month of April                       <u>2,850</u>

    Cost Of Hats Sold During the month of April  

    = 2,850 * $7.31

    = $20,833.5

Cost of Closing Stock (1,050 hat)  = 1,050 hat * $7.31 = 7675.5

Archy [21]

Answer:

Theory X Manager

Explanation:

Douglas McGregor presented this perspectives of human being named as Theory X (which is labeled as negative). McGregor after studying the manager's behavior and how they are dealing with their employees, came to the conclusion that the manager’s views of the nature of human beings are built on the particular assumptions taken from their behavior.

 

According to Theory X, managers tend to believe that not liking the work is present in employee nature and therefore it is necessary to direct or even force them to perform tasks and their required job.

 

To put it another way, theory X basically tries to put that all humans and particularly employees are lazy, and they don't want to work, they are required to pull and push for doing so.

Consider the economies of Hermes and Tralfamadore, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that,
MAXImum [283]

1. The productivity (in terms of output per worker) in 2016 and 2026 for the economies of Hermes (<u>60 and 72</u>) and Tralfamadore (<u>30 and 54</u>).

2. The 5-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in <u>Tralfamadore</u> to rise by <u>80%</u> than productivity in <u>Hermes</u> which rose by <u>20%</u>.

3. This illustrates the concept of the <u>catch-up effect</u>, which makes it <u>possible</u> for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

<h3>What is the concept of the catch-up effect?</h3>

The economic concept of the catch-up effect states that developing countries usually develop faster than developed countries, eventually reach the same level of per capita productivity as developed economies.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3><h3>Hermes</h3>

2026               16                            30                         2,160       72 (2,160/30)

<h3>Tralfamadore</h3>

2016                 8                            30                         900       30 (900/30)

2026               13                            30                      1,620       54 (1,620/30)

<h3>Rise in productivity:</h3>

Hermes = 20% (72 - 60/60 x 100)

Tralfamadore = 80% (54 - 30)/30 x 100)

Thus, the productivity (in terms of output per worker) in 2016 and 2026 for the economies of Hermes (<u>60 and 72</u>) and Tralfamadore (<u>30 and 54</u>).
