Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

Olegator [25]

Answer:

b). 72.458 %

a). 24, 213

Explanation:

1). The second option i.e. 72.458% correctly measures the variance percentage brought in the dependent variable(regressed the quantity demanded) by manipulating the independent variable(price elasticity). The first option is wrong as it shows R multiple which is rather the coefficient. The third and the last options are incorrect as they display the intercept employed to determine the quantity and the key error of calculating the standard deviation.

2). The predicted quantity demanded would be 24,213 if the price is fixed at $7.00.

It can be calculated using the formula;

Quantity demanded = Intercept + (Adjusted R squared * Price coefficient)

∵ Quantity Demanded = 56,400.50 + (7 X -4,598.2)

= 24,213

DSO and accounts receivable Ingraham Inc. currently has $205,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding is 71 da
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$49,084.51

Explanation:

days of sales outstanding (DSO) = accounts receivable / average daily sales

71 days = $205,000 / (total sales / 365 days)

total sales / 365 days = $205,000 / 71 days

total sales = ($205,000 / 71 days) x 365 days = $1,053,873.24

after the change, annual sales will decrease by 15%:

$1,053,873.24 x (1 - 15%) = $895,792.25

average sales per day = $895,792.25 / 365 = $2,454.23 per day

new DSO = accounts receivable / average sales per day

20 days = accounts receivable / $2,454.23 per day

accounts receivable = $2,454.23 per day x 20 days = $49,084.51

Earnings per share: Select one: a. Will always be lower than the dividend paid per share b. Will always be higher than the divid
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

b. Will always be higher than the dividend paid per share

Explanation:

A firm pays dividend to it's stockholders based upon it's earnings.

Earnings per share (EPS) is expressed as:

= \frac{Earnings\ available\ to\ stockholders}{No.\ of\ stocks\ outstanding}

Dividend payout ratio on the other hand is expressed as:

= EPS (1 - b)

wherein, b = retention ratio which denotes the percentage of earnings retained by a firm i.e not distributed as dividends.

Thus, a firm's earnings per share would always be higher than the dividend paid by it per share.
