Answer:

Explanation:

Under GAAP, every cost incurred should be classified into either  period cost or product cost, where:

Product Cost:

The cost business has incurred right now, but will benefit from it in future for e.g. raw materials used to manufacture something which will be sold in next period (by the way period means the time span for which business is reporting its performance like year or quarter). these generally include direct labor, materials and manufacturing over heads

these costs should be capitalized and expensed out in future as the inventory is used.

Period Cost:

all other costs from which business has benefited completely in current period, including admin sales and distribution related costs

these should be expensed out in current period.

for warehousing costs, if they pertain to raw materials and semi finished goods they will be capitalized but if they pertains to finished goods they will be expensed out (as there is no benefit expected from them in future now)

for research and development, every research cost should be expensed out for e.g. feasibility studies under GAAP, but if product found to be commercially viable then the development costs can be capitalized as intangible asset(with the same logic as these will be exactly like manufacturing costs for tangible products).

Problem 16-17 Firm Value [LO2] Change Corporation expects an EBIT of $25,000 every year forever. The company currently has no de
PolarNik [594]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current value of the company is

As it is mentioned that the company has no debt that means it is unlevered firm that is equivalent to unlevered value of the company  

Unlevered value of the firm =  Vu  

Vu = EBIT ×  (1 - tax rate ) ÷ unlevered Cost of Equity

= EBIT × (1 - tax rate ) ÷ R0  

= $25,000  ×  (1 -  0.22 ) ÷ 12%  

= $162,500  

b-1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of unlevered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

where,  

Debt = borrowing = 50% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 50% x Vu  

So,

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = $162,500 + ($162,500 × 50%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + $17,875  

= $180,375  

b-2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of unlevered value

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × Vu

So,    

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

= $162,500 + ($162,500 × 100%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + 35,750  

= $198,250  

C.1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of the levered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 50%) × tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 50%) × 22%  

VL = Vu + 0.11 VL  

VL - 0.11 VL = 162,500  

0.89 VL = 162,500  

VL= 182,584.27  

C.2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of the levered value  

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 100%) × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 100%) × 22%  

= Vu + 0.22 VL  

VL - 0.22 VL = 162,500  

0.78 VL = 162,500  

VL= $208,333.33
