LPM’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 13 percent if the firm does not have to issue new common equity; if new common

equity is needed, its WACC is 16 percent. If LPM expects to generate $80,000 in retained earnings this year, which project(s) should be purchased? Assume that the projects are independent and indivisible.

Answer:

Projects D and E should be purchased.

Explanation:

since the firm's capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, it can pursue up to 2 projects. Only projects D, E and F have an internal rate of return higher than the company's WACC, so project G is discarded immediately.

Since projects D and E have a higher IRR, they should be selected.

  • project D: $70,000, IRR = 18%, debt = $42,000, equity = $28,000
  • project E: $85,000, IRR = 15%, debt = $51,000, equity = $34,000
  • total equity invested = $62,000

krok68 [10]

Answer:

A Bond's current market value represented by B_{0} is the present value of a bond as on today. Present value of a bond is it's future cash flows in the form of coupon payments and principal repayment discounted at investor's expectation in the market also referred to as Yield to maturity(YTM).

Present value of a bond is given by the following equation,

B_{0} = \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{1} }  +\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{2} } \ +\ ......+\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} } \  +\ \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} }

where C= Annual coupon payments

YTM = Yield to maturity/ cost of debt/ market rate of return on similarly priced bonds

RV = Redemption value of bond

n = number of years to maturity

<u>a. A bond's coupon rate is higher than it's yield to maturity, then the bond will sell for more than face value.</u>

Hence, if the company pays more interest than what is paid in the market on similarly priced bonds, such bonds shall sell at more than their face value.

<u>b. If a bond's coupon rate is lower than it's yield to maturity, then the bond's price will increase over it's remaining maturity.</u>

Similarly, if a bond pays lower rate of interest than the market rate of interest on similarly priced bonds, the bond shall sell at lower than it's face value and the price will increase over the remaining life of such bonds.

Dr repairs and maintenance   $2900

Dr Equipment account             $11850

Cr Cash account                                          $14750

2018 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense          $4800.83

Cr Accumulated depreciation                     $4800.83

Explanation:

There are two policies for depreciating non-current asset  especially when it is acquired part-way through the year like we have here, namely full year depreciation in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal or proportional depreciation throughout the useful life,I am adopting the former in this question.

Formula for depreciation=cost-residual value/useful life

Yearly depreciation is ($57200-$0)/10=$5720

However,after two years the book value is calculated thus:

Book value=$57200-($5720*2)=$45760

additional cost incurred in enhancing the capacity of the asset would be added :  $45760 +$11,850=$57610

Since the useful life has also been reviewed up to 12 years, the depreciation from now on is $57610/12=$4800.83

Family members may lend you money based on
Katarina [22]

Answer :a obligation.

The word obligation means “to be bound to act in a certain way either morally or legally.”

Hence when one is in need of money to start a business, family members may lend the money because they are bound to help you in times of need.  

Loans from family members are usually interest free.

However, if the loan is not repaid, relationships quickly turn sour.

Hence loans from family member must be treated with respect and care, in order to maintain relationships.
