We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

The equity beta refers to a beta that considers different levels of debt of a firm. The equity beta is also known as the levered beta or the project beta. The equity beta is therefore different from the asset beta.

Asset beta refers to a beta does not consider debt and assume that the firm uses only equity financing. Asset beta is known as unlevered beta.

The Firm’s equity can be calculated using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of average unlevered beta of the firm

Unlevered beta = Levered beta / (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) ……… (1)

<u>Where for UPS;</u>

Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 0.80

Tax rate = 0

Debt = Market value of debt = $5 billion

Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $65 * 0.7 billion = $45.50 billion

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

UPS unlevered beta = 0.80 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (5 / 45.50))) = 0.720792079207921 = 0.72

<u>Where for FedEx;</u>

Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 1.10

Tax rate = 0

Debt = Market value of debt = $3 billion

Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $55 * 250 million = $13.75 billion

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FedEx unlevered beta = 1.10 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (3 / 13.75))) = 0.902985074626866 = 0.90

Therefore, firm’s averaged unlevered beta can be calculated as follows:

Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = (UPS unlevered beta + FedEx unlevered beta) / 2 = (0.72 + 0.90) / 2 = 0.81

Step 2: Calculation of firm’s levered beta

Firms’ levered beta = Firm’s averaged unlevered beta * (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) …….. (2)

Where;

Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = 0.81

Tax rate = 0

Debt = Market value of risk-free debt = $20 million

Equity = Market value of equity = $450 million

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Firms’ levered beta = 0.81 * (1 + ((1 - 0) * (20 / 450))) = 0.846 = 0.85

Since from the definitions above, the equity beta is also known as the levered beta, the firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.

Given the following cost and activity observations for Smithson Company's utilities, use the high-low method to determine Smiths
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cost - Machine Hours

January: $26,300 - 10,000

February: $36,700 - 18,400

March: $28,400 - 12,400

April: $31,400 - 14,900

Using the high-low method, first, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit. We need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (36,700 - 26,300) / (18,400 - 10,000)

Variable cost per unit= $1.2381 per unit

Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 36,700 - (1.2381*18,400)= 13,918.96= $13,919

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 26,300 - (1.2381*10,000)= $13,919

Rise N' Shine Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 6,000 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required i
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Rise N' Shine Coffee Company

a. Differential Analysis dated October 6:

                              Alternative 1                      Alternative 2

Sales revenue     $55,320 (6,000 * $9.22)   $67,716 (5,700 * $11.88

Costs:

Cost of product     33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)    33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)

Batch cost                                                         10,230

Evaporation loss                                                 1,650

Total costs          $33,000                             $44,880

Profit                   $22,320                             $22,836

b. Rise N' Shine should process further before selling Decaf Columbian.

c. If the price of Decaf Columbian coffee were $11.79 ($11.88 - $516/5,700), it will cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing the Columbian coffee further.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total quantity of materials required = 6,000 pounds

Cost price of each pound = $5.50

Selling price of Columbian coffee without further processing = $9.22

Selling price of Decaf Columbian coffee with further processing = $11.88

Costs of additional processing:

Batch cost = $10,230

Evaporation loss = 5% of 6,000 (300) = $1,650

Differential Analysis dated October 6:

                              Alternative 1                      Alternative 2

Sales revenue     $55,320 (6,000 * $9.22)   $67,716 (5,700 * $11.88

Costs:

Cost of product     33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)    33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)

Batch cost                                                         10,230

Evaporation loss                                                 1,650

Total costs          $33,000                             $44,880

Profit                   $22,320                             $22,836

Difference = $516 ($22,836 - $22,320)

In 2012, XYZ Inc., a medical equipment distributor, sold 10,000 units of its hospital beds at an average price of $500 per unit.
ivann1987 [24]

a. The preparation of XYZ's Income Statement  for the year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Net sales revenue                             $4,800,000

Cost of goods sold                             3,450,000

Gross profit                                       $1,350,000

Operating expenses      400,000

Depreciation expense    100,000        500,000

Operating income                            $850,000

Interest Expense                                  200,000

Income before taxes                         $650,000

Taxes (40% x $650,000)                   260,000

Net income                                       $390,000

b. The ending inventory balance of XYZ's 2012 is as follows:

Units = (Beginning inventory + Purchases - Sales)

= 2,000 beds (1,000 + 11,000 - 10,000)

Dollars = $700,000 (2,000 x $350).

Data and Calculations:

Units of beds sold = 10,000

Average price per unit = $500

Sales revenue = $5,000,000

Estimated returns and allowances = $200,000

The Net sales revenue is $4,800,000 ($5,000,000 - $200,000).

The Cost of goods sold is $3,450,000 (9,000 x $350 + 1,000 x $300).

The Ending inventory is $700,000 (2,000 units x $350).

Operating expenses = $400,000

Depreciation expense = $100,000

Interest expense = $200,000 ($2,000,000 x 10%)

Tax rate = 40%

Thus, the ending inventory balance of XYZ's 2012 is 2,000 beds, worth $700,000.
