Answer:

$635,000 and : 34%

Explanation:

Margins of safety is the difference between expected sales and the break-even point.

For Zhao, expected sales are 10,000 units

The break-even points in units = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

fixed costs = $429,000

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs per unit

=$187 -  $122

=$65

break-even point in units = $429,000/$65

break-even point = 6600 units

Margin of safety = 10,000 - 6600 units

=3400 units

In dollars is equal to margin of safety in units x selling price

=3400 x 187

<u>=$635,000</u>

as a percent of expected sales.

=3400/10000 x 100

=0.34 x 10,000

=34%

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 9%, and its tax rate is 40%. It can issue preferred stock that pa
klio [65]

Answer:

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p)  = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = 16.18%

b)

WACC = 14%

c)

project 1 and project 2

Explanation:

Given that:

Debt rate (r_d) = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4

Dividend per share (D_p) = $6

Price per share (P_p) = $57

Common stock price (P_0)= $39

Expected dividend (D_1) = $4.75

Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04

The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (w_e), 15% debt (w_d), and 10% preferred stock  (w_p)

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) =`r_d(1-T)= 0.09(1-0.4)=0.09*0.6=0.054

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p) = \frac{D_p}{P_P}=\frac{6}{57}=0.1053 = 10.53%

r_p = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = \frac{D_1}{P_0} +g=\frac{4.75}{39} +0.04=0.1618

r_e = 16.18%

b)

WACC=w_dr_d(1-T)+w_er_e+w_pr_p\\WACC=0.15*0.09(1-0.4)+0.75*0.1618+0.1*0.1053=0.14

WACC = 14%

c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$1 million

Explanation:

Section 179 deduction of the IRS code was enacted to help small business owners take depreciation deductions for certain assets ( capital expenditure I.e. the money spent on acquiring and maintaining fixed assets such as buildings and equipments ) in one year rather than continuous depreciation over a long period of time.

The new law increased the maximum deduction from $500,000 to $1 million.

For example: lets say you buy a computer for your office, under section 179 you can deduct the full cost of your computer in one year. This a very okay because the life span of your computer is short
