Answer:

c. the entry of new firms

Explanation:

Flauer [41]

Answer:

The balance in the account = $851.8

The future value of a lump sum is the amount expected at a future date when a sum of money is invested today at a particular rate of interest for certain number of years

.

This implies compounding the initial amount invested ($300) at the given interest rate(11%) for 10 years.This will be done as follows:

<em />

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV-Future value

r- rate of return per period

n- Number of period

PV - 300

r-11%

DATA

FV- ?

PV - 300

n- 10

FV= 300 × 1.11^10 = 851.83

The balance in the account = $851.8

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. $1,132.50

b. $9,884.50

c. $10,586

d.1 $2,725

d.2 - $4,363.50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - interest expense - income tax expense

= $34,621 - $24,359 - $6,027 - $2,275 - 377.50

= $1,132.50

The income tax expense

= ($34,621 - $24,359 - $6,027 - $2,275) × 25%

= $377.50

b. The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,

EBIT =  Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense

       =  $34,621 - $24,359 - $6,027

       =  $4,235

And all other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $4,235 + $6,027- $377.50

= $9,884.50

c. Computation of the cash flow from assets for 2019 is shown below:

= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital

where, net capital capital = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation

= $24,529 -  $19,970 + $6,027

= $10,586

Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of  current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of  current liabilities)

= ($8,702 - $4,700) - ($7,075 - $4,010)

= $4,002 - $3,065

= $937

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $9,884.50 - $10,586 - $937

= - $1,638.50

d.1 The computation of the cash flow to creditors is shown below:

= Interest expense - ending balance of long term debt + beginning balance of long term debt

= $2,725 - 0 + 0

= $2,725

d.2 The computation of the cash flow to stockholder is shown below:

= Cash flow from asset - cash flow to creditors

=  - $1,638.50 -  $2,725

= - $4,363.50

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Cost of common equity is 15.7%  and WACC is 7.2%

Explanation:

D1 is  

D1= 2.25 (1+0.05)

The cost of common equity is  

Rs = 2.36/ 22.00 + 5% =0.157= 15.7%

The cost of common equity is weighted average cost of capital (WACC)  

WACC = (0.35) * (0.08) (1- 0.40) + 0 preferred stock+ (0.35) * (0.157)

WACC = 0.03 *0.6 + 0 + 0.054

WACC = 0.018 + 0.054

WACC = 7.2%

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$75 per case

Explanation:

Required: Selling Price per case

Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost = Target desired profit

Sales = 800000 case x Selling Price (SP)

Variable cost = (800000 case x $40) + (800000 x SP x 25%)

Putting into equation:

Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost = Target desired profit

(800000 x SP) – [(800000 x 40) + (800000 x SP x 25%)] - $8000000 = $ 5000000

>800000SP – (32000000 + 200000SP) – 8000000 = 5000000

>800000SP – 32000000 – 200000SP – 8000000 = 5000000

>800000SP – 200000SP = 5000000 + 8000000 + 32000000

>600000SP = 45000000

>SP = 45000000 / 600000

>SP = $ 75
