Andrews [41]

Answer: SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Values depending on Success

$150M, $135M, $95M, $80M

Risk free rate = 5% = 0.05

Pervebtage to be lost in case of bankruptcy = 25% = 0.25

A.) 0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + 95 + 80) ÷ 1.05] = $109.52 million

Assume a zero-coupon debt with a $100million face value

B.) 0.25 × [( 100 + 100 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $78.87 million

C.) Yield to maturity (YTM)

(100M÷78.87M) - 1

1.2679 - 1 = 0.2679 = 26.79%

Expected return = 5%

D.) Equity value

0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $99.11 million

E.) share if no debt is issued

109.52 ÷ 10 = 10.95 per share

F.) Share price if debt of $100M is issued

99.11 ÷ 10 = 9.91 per share

The price differs because bankruptcy cost will Lower the share price.

JL.53 Bob's Bumpers has a repetitive manufacturing facility in Kentucky that makes automobile bumpers and other auto body parts.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Annual demand = 75000 = D

S = ordering cost/set up cost = $53

d = daily demand = 75000/250 = 300

h = holding cost per unit per year = $25

p = Daily production rate = 320

optimal size of the production run =EPQ = sqrt((2*D*S)/(h*(1-(d/p))))

= sqrt((2*75000*53)/(25*(1-(300/320))))

= 2255.659549 = 2255.66 (Rounded to 2 decimal places)

maximum inventory = EPQ*(1 - (d/p))

= 2255.66*(1 - (300/320))

= 140.97875

Avergae inventory = 140.97875/2 = 70.49

Number of production runs = Annual demand/EPQ = 75000/2255.66 = 33.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 2255.66 = 70.49*25 = 1762.25

With EPQ = 500, maximum inventory = 500*(1 - (300/320)) = 31.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 500, holding cost (31.25/2)*25 = 390.625

Savings = 1762.25 - 390.625 = 1371.625

True or False: If Hubert's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $100,000 were the market price for an engine, decrea

KatRina [158]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market the sales revenue is based on pricing also. As the pricing policy also plays an important role in the marketing technique to attract customers.

As the quality served is generally the same in the market, there is no issue in that but when the price is reduced expected sales will increase and accordingly the expected revenue also increases.

As the sales is expected to increase the revenue will also increase accordingly, even though the price is reduced, due to increase in sales quantity the expected change shall not be same as that of the change in price.

Thus, the statement is False.
