Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

                                                                  = - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

Cost$120,000 Accumulated depreciation(24,000*)Book value96,000Sales proceeds(25,000) Loss on sale $ 71,000*$120,000 ÷ 5 years = $24,000 [$120,000 – ($120,000 ÷ 5) - $25,000 = $71,000][Cost – Accum. depr. – Sales proceeds = Loss on sale]

b. Prepare a 4-year summarized income statement for each of the following assumptions:

1.The old elevator is retained. Retain Old Elevator Revenues ($240,000 X 4 yrs.) $960,00012

Less costs:Variable costs ($35,000 X 4)$140,000Fixed costs ($23,000 X 4)92,000Selling & administrative116,000*Depreciation96,000444,000Net income$516,000*($29,000 X 4)

2.The old elevator is replaced.Replace Old Elevator Revenues $960,000 Less costs: Variable costs ($10,000 X 4)$ 40,000 Fixed costs ($8,500 X 4) 34,000 Selling and administrative 116,000 Depreciation 160,000350,000 Operating income 610,000 Less: Loss on old elevator 71,000 Net income $539,000[$960,000 – (($10,000 x 4) + ($8,500 x 4) + ($29,000 x 4) + ($40,000 x 4)) - $71,000 = $539,000][Rev. – ((VC x No. of yrs.) + (FC x No. of yrs.) + (S&A exp. x No. of yrs.) + (Ann. depr. x No. of yrs.) – Loss on old elevator = Net inc.]

c. Using incremental analysis, determine if the old elevator should be replaced. Retain Old Elevator Replace Old Elevator Net Income Increase (Decrease) Variable operating costs $140,000$ 40,000$ 100,000 Fixed operating costs 92,000 34,000 58,000 New elevator cost-160,000 (160,000) Salvage on old elevator-(25,000)25,000Totals$232,000$209,000$ 23,000d. Why any gain or loss should be ignored in the decision to replace the old elevator.

Suppose you must estimate the cost of equity for a firm, and you have the following data: rRF = 5.5%; rM – rRF = 6%; b = 0.8; D1
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

rd+premium = 10.5%

using CAPM = 10.3%

Explanation:

Under bond-yield+ risk-premium approach

This method simply propose to add the bond yield with the estmated risk premium:

0.065 + 0.04 risk premium = 0.105

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)\\\\Where:\\r_f =$ risk free rate\\r_m= $ market rate\\\beta =non-diversifiable \:risk

r_f = 0.055

β = 0.8

(r_m-r_f) = 0.06

0.055 + 0.8(0.06) = 0.103 cost of capital using CAPM
