A firm has three different production facilities, all of which produce the same product.. While reviewing the firm's cost data,

Jasmin, a manager, discovers that one of the plants has a higher average cost than the other plants and suggests closing that plant. Another manager, Joshua, notes that the high-cost plant has high fixed costs but that the marginal cost for that plant is lower than in the other plants. He says that the high-cost plant should not be shut down but should expand its operations. Who is right?

What is essential to successful communication?
V125BC [204]
The ability to listen is essential to successful communication.

Listening does not only mean that you hear what others have to say. When you listen, you also understand the message they are trying to impart. This is to avoid confusion. 

Once you've received and understood the message they are trying to express, then they were successful in communicating their thoughts with you.

Use the following information to answer questions 4a.1-4a.5 Gerrell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Gerrel Corp.

EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares

Plan I:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $85,250

Income Tax Exp.      34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $51,150

EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share

Plan II:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $80,500

Income Tax Exp.     32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $48,300

EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share

Plan III:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Pre-Tax Income = $90,000

Income Tax Exp.     36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)

After Tax Income $54,000

EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt

Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75

EBIT = $90,000

Interest Rate = 5%

Corporate Tax Rate = 40%

b) Capital Structure:

Plan I: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan II: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan III: (All-equity plan):

Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital

c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares.  It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders.  The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.
