Answer:

WACC 13.85600%

Explanation:

First we calculate Eastern Pizza CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.08

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.04

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 2

Ke= 0.08 + 2 (0.04)

Ke 0.16000

Then we solve for WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.16000

Equity weight 0.8

Kd 0.08

Debt Weight 0.2

t 0.34

WACC = 0.16(0.8) + 0.08(1-0.34)(0.2)

WACC 13.85600%

The company will use the data on eastern Pizza to evualuate project presented to it. Also, it will  consider the new tax rate to determinate the tax shield.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

An alternative is also known as Uncollectible accounts expense

frozen [14]

Answer:

Bosley Company

Calculation of Net Income or Net Loss during the year ended January 31, 2019, under three independent situations:

Situation 1. Bosley issued $5 million of stock and declared no dividends.  

Net Loss = stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 plus new issue of stock less stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019

= $51 + 5 - 31 = $25 million

Situation 2. Bosley issued no stock but declared dividends of $8 million.

Net loss = stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 less (dividends + stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019)

= $51 - (8 + 31) = $12 million

Situation 3. Bosley issued $10 million of stock and declared dividends of $50 million :

Net income = (stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019 plus dividends) minus (stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 plus Issuance of stock)

= ($31 + 50) - ($51 + 10) = $20 million

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                         2018    2019

Total assets                         74       48  

Total liabilities                     23       17  

Total stockholders' equity  51       31

Stockholders' equity according to the accounting equation = Assets minus Liabilities for each year.

b) Situation 1. Bosley issued $5 million of stock and declared no dividends.  

                                                                       ($' million)

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018   51

Add: Issuance of stock                                       5

Net income                                                           0

Less: Dividends declared                                   0

Net loss                                                            (25 )

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019   31

Net Loss = stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 plus new issue of stock less stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019

= $51 + 5 - 31 = $25 million

c) Situation 2. Bosley issued no stock but declared dividends of $8 million.  

                                                                       ($' million)

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018   51

Add: Issuance of stock                                       0

Net income                                                          0

Less: Dividends declared                                 (8 )

Net loss                                                             (12 )

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019  31

Net loss = stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 less (dividends + stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019)

= $51 - (8 + 31) = $12 million

d) Situation 3. Bosley issued $10 million of stock and declared dividends of $50 million

                                                                    ($' million)

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018  51

Add: Issuance of stock                                     10

Net income                                                       20

Less: Dividends declared                               (50 )

Net loss                                                              0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019 31

Net income = (stockholders' equity, January 31, 2019 plus dividends) minus (stockholders' equity, January 31, 2018 plus Issuance of stock)

= ($31 + 50) - ($51 + 10) = $20 million
