Answer: $690,044

Explanation:

First calculate WACC.

Total capital = 10 + 8 = $18 million

WACC = (Weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (8/18 * 3%) + (10/18 * 15%)

= 9.67%

Using the WACC, find the present value of the cashflows for the next 5 years. This will be an annuity.

= 180,500 * (1 - (1 + r) ^-n)/r

= 180,500 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9.67%) ^ -5)/9.67%

= $690,044.67

= $690,044

They should pay no more than this present value.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$1.71 per share

Explanation:

Earning per share is the per share rate of net earning for the period after deducting any preferred dividend. We use average common shares outstanding to calculate the Basic EPS. Formula for the Basic EPS is as follow:

Basic EPS = ( Net Income - Preferred Dividend ) / average common shares outstanding

As we do not have any preferred share, placing value in the formula

Basic EPS = ( $3,100,800 - $0 ) / 1,818,000

Basic EPS = $1.71 per share

The convertible bonds are incorporated in the calculation of diluted earning per share.

Swisher, Incorporated reports the following annual cost data for its single product: Normal production level 30,000 units Direct
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Profit decreases by $322,600

Explanation:

Normal production level = 30,000 units

Cost of direct material per unit =$6.40 , total cost = $6.40*30,000=$192,000

Cost of direct labor per unit =$3.93 , total cost =$3.93*30,000=$117,900

Variable over head cost per unit=$5.80, total cost =$5.80*30,000=$174000

Fixed overhead total cost = $150,000

Production cost with 30,000 units will be;

$192,000 + $117,900 + $174000 + $150,000 =$633900

Normal selling price of product  per unit = $48

Revenue after normal sell of 30,000 units $48 = 30,000*48=$1440000

Profit obtained : $806,100

Increasing the production to 50,000 units you can calculate the projected cost of production

New production level = 50,000 units

Cost of direct material per unit =$6.40 , total cost = $6.40*50,000=$320,000

Cost of direct labor per unit =$3.93 , total cost =$3.93*50,000=$196,500

Variable over head cost per unit=$5.80, total cost =$5.80*50,000=$290,000

Fixed overhead total cost = $150,000

Production cost with 30,000 units will be;

$320,000 + $196,500 + $290,000 + $150,000 =$956,500

Normal selling price of product  per unit = $48

Revenue after normal sell of 30,000 units $48 = 30,000*48=$1440000

Profit obtained =$483,500

Decreased in profit = $806100-$483500 =$322,600
