Bruce & Co. expects its EBIT to be $185,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 9 percent. Bruce currently has no deb

t, and its cost of equity is 16 percent. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the value of the firm? What will the value be if Bruce borrows $135,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares (based on the MM Proposition)? (Assume that the debt is perpetual in the 2nd question.)

Answer:

$751,562.50 and $837,203.125

Explanation:

The formula to compute the value of the firm under the MM proposition approach is shown below:

In first case

= {EBIT × ( 1 - tax rate)} ÷ WACC

= {$185,000 × ( 1 - 0.35)} ÷ 16%

= $120,250 ÷ 16%

= $751,562.50

Since no debt is there which means the firm is unlevered firm and computation is done accordingly.

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

In second case

= {EBT× ( 1 - tax rate)} ÷ WACC

= {$172,850 × ( 1 - 0.35)} ÷ 16%

= $112,352.50 ÷ 16%

= $702,203.125

EBT = $185,000 - $135,000 × 9%

= $185,000 - $12,150

= $172,850

So, the value of firm would be

= $702,203.125 + $135,000

= $837,203.125

Stockholders' Equity of Riverwild Corporation consists of 50,000 shares of $8 par value, 5% cumulative preferred stock and 400,0

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a. $20,000

b. $180,000

Explanation:

Par value per preferred share = $8

Dividend rate = 5%

Dividend per preferred share = $8 * 5% = $0.40

Number of preferred shares = 50,000

a. Total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year = 50,000 shares * $0.40 = $20,000

b. The total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000

Cr Wages accrued and payable $ 338,850.00

C.Dr wages accreud and payable$ 338,850.00

Cr Cash $ 338,850.00

Explanation:

In order for us to calculate the ommited in (1) we have to find out the (3) calculated as :

Social securities tax 6% of total earnings $32,400

Medicare tax 1.5% of total earnings $8,100

Therefore let x be the total earnings using 6%

x*6%= $32,400

x= $32,400/6%

= $ 540,000.00

Or let x be the total earnings using 1.5%

x*1.5%= $8,100

x= $8100/1.5%

$ 540,000.00

The total earnings for 3 will be = $540,000

Using this formula to calculate for earnings at normal rate

Earnings at normal rate=total earnings -overtime rate

Let plug in the formula

$540000-$80000= $ 460,000.00

Therefore earnings at normal rate for (1)= $460,000.00

In order to calculate for 8,we have to substract the total deductions form taxes and insurances

Using this formula

Total deductions=social security +medicare+income tax held+union dues+medical insurance

Hence,

$201150=$32400+$8100+$135000+$18900+union dues

Union dues(8)=$201150-32400-8100-135000-18900

Union dues(8)= $ 6,750.00

In order to calculate for 12 sales salaries,we have to deduct total earnings from factory wages and office salaries

Using this formula

Sales salaries=total earnings -factory wages and office salaries

Sales

salaries(12)=$540000-$285000-$120000

sales salaries(12)= $ 135,000.00

Therefore:

Earnings at normal rate(1)= $ 460,000.00

Total earnings(3) = $540,000

Union dues(8)= $ 6,750.00

Sales salaries(12)= $ 135,000.00

Tamarisk, Inc. has the following inventory data:

disa [49]

Answer:

COGS= $5,910

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 90 units at $19

Purchases 315 units at $20

Purchases 45 units at $22

Ending inventory= 150 units

First, we need to determine the number of units sold:

Units sold= 450 - 150= 300 units

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the first units incorporated:

COGS= 90*19 + 210*20= $5,910

Suppose that the market demand curve for bean sprouts is given by P = 1,660 - 4Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry o

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

where $q_{}$ being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4( $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ )

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{1}$

Let's suppose new equation is X

X = 1660 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{1} ^{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ - 60 $q_{1}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t to $q_{1}$ , we will get:

$X^{'}$ = 1660 - 8 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1660 - 60

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 400

Solving for $q_{1}$

2 $q_{1}$ = 400 - $q_{2}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{2}$

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Pugging in the value of $q_{1}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ (200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$ ) -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ +2 $q_{2} ^{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1600 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ -2 $q_{2} ^{2}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t $q_{2}$

$Y^{'}$ = 1600 - 800 - 4 $q_{2}$ = 0

Solving for $q_{2}$

4 $q_{2}$ = 800

$q_{2}$ = 200

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Plugging in the value of $q_{2}$ to get the value of $q_{1}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 (200)

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 100

$q_{1}$ = 100

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.
