$735,000 in flotation costs. In addition, the equity issued had a flotation cost of 7.1 percent of the amount raised, whereas the debt issued had a flotation cost of 3.1 percent of the amount raised. If the company issued new securities in the same proportion as its target capital structure, what is the company’s target debt-equity ratio?

Answer:

The company’s target debt-equity ratio is 1.16 : 1

Explanation:

Percentage flotation costs = 1 - (14100000/14100000 + 735000)

                                             = 1 - (14100000/14835000)

                                             = 4.95%

We know that:

(1 + Debt/Equity)*4.95%  = 0.071 + 0.031*(Debt/Equity)(Percentage flotation cost equation)

0.0495 + 0.0495*(Debt/Equity) = 0.071 + 0.031*(Debt / Equity)

0.049545*(Debt/Equity) - 0.031*(Debt/Equity) = 0.071 - 0.0495

0.018545*(Debt/Equity) = 0.021455

Debt/Equity = 0.021455/0.018545

Debt / Equity = 1.16 : 1

Therefore, The company’s target debt-equity ratio is 1.16 : 1

ABC Company insured its building on a replacement cost basis for $700,000 under a property insurance policy that included an 80%
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Given that

Insurance = $700,000

Sustained cost = $40,000

Replacement cost = $1,000,000

Policy = 80%

The computation of amount eligible for payment is as shown below:-

Insurance required = Cost of building × Co insurance

=$1,000,000 × 0.80

= $800,000

The amount eligible for payment = (Insurance Carried ÷ Insurance Required) × Loss

= $700,000 ÷ ($1,000,000 × 80%) × ($40,000)

= $700,000 ÷ $800,000 × $40,000

= 0.875 × $35,000

= $35,000
