Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.052787474

$5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\$

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 100.00

time 60.00

rate 0.052787474

$\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV$

PV 4.57

Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

You are considering two ways of financing a spring break vacation. you could put it on your credit card, at 17 % apr, compound

shutvik [7]

Credit card has slightly lower interest rate. Let's take a look at both interest rates for 1 year and see what costs more. First, the credit card at 17% apr compounded monthly. Each month, 17%/12 interest will be taken. The total interest over the year will be (1 + 0.17/12)^12 = 1.183891728 times the original debt. Now let's look at the loan from the parents. Over 1 year, you'll be accumulating 2 interest payments. The formula for the year will be (1 + 0.09)^2 = 1.1881 Comparing the overall rate between the credit card and the parents, the credit card is slightly lower than the parents.

The Quick Buck Company is an all-equity firm that has been in existence for the past three years. Company management expects tha

Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the current price per share is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $800,000 ÷ 1.13 + $1,250,000 ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,686,897.96

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares

So, the current share price is

= $1,686,897.96 ÷ 35,000 shares

= $48.20

c. The computation of the shares of stock sold is shown below:

No of shares of stock must be sold is

= ($910,000 - $800,000) ÷ 48.20

= $2,282.16

c. The computation of the new price per share of stock is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $910,000 ÷ 1.13 + $1,250,000 ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,784,243.09

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares and $2,282.16

So, the current share price is

= $1,784,243.09 ÷ 35,000 shares + $2,282.16

= $47.86

Jefferson Co. uses the following standard to produce a single unit of its product: Variable overhead $6 (2 hrs. per unit @ $3/hr

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. 6,000U

Explanation:

The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

Variable overhead variance=(Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit* Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

Standard rate per hour=$3

Standard hours per unit=2

Actual units produced=24,000

Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

Variable overhead variance=(24,000*2*3-150,000)

=(144,000-150,000)

=$6,000U

So the answer is B. 6,000U
