Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has

$1 million face value of bonds that have five years remaining to maturity and 8 percent coupon with semi-annual payments, and are priced to yield 13.65 percent. If Biden issues up to $2.5 million of new bonds, the bonds will be priced at par and have a yield of 13.65 percent; if it issues bonds beyond $2.5 million, the expected yield on the entire issuance will be 16 percent. Biden has learned that it can issue new common stock at $10 a share. The current
risk-free rate of interest is 3 percent and the expected market return is 10 percent. Biden's marginal tax rate is 30 percent. If Biden raises $7.5 million of new capital while maintaining the same debtto-equity ratio, its weighted average cost of capital is?

Answer:

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.

Explanation:

We have to find current weights,  

Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million  

Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million

Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million

Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10

Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%

Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n

= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10

= $0.8 million

Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million

Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%

Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%

Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital

= 0.2857 x 7.5

= $2.14 million

Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%  

Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)

= 18.4%

The weighted average cost of capital:-  

WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity

= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%

= 15.87%

Koffee Express operates a number of espresso coffee stands in busy suburban malls. The fixed weekly expense of a coffee stand is
sergey [27]

Answer:

1.

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,800:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.87 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,800 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,900:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.84 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,900 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 2,000:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.81 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/2,000 + 0.26)

2.

The average cost per cup of coffee served decreases as the number of cups of coffee served in a week increases.

This is because average cost per cup of coffee served is equal to the sum of allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee + variable cost of one cup of coffee. Although the variable cost of one cup of coffee remains the same given changes in the number of cups served, the allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee decreases as the cups served increases as Total fixed cost remained the same, yet it will be allocated to more cup served, so the amount allocated to one cup served will decreases.

A formula will make it easy to understand:

Average cost per cup of coffee served = Variable Cost + Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served. Variable cost and total fixed cost remains the same with the variation of number of cup served; thus as number of cups served increases, Average cost per cup of coffee served decreases.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$62,750

Explanation:

The computation of budgeted net income is shown below:-

Budgeted income = (Contribution Margin × Units produced and sold ÷ Units) - Manufacturing costs - Selling and administrative costs

= ($118,800 × 25,000 ÷ 27,000) - $29,700 - $17,550

= $110,000 - $29,700 - $17,550

= $62,750

Therefore for computing the Budgeted income we simply applied the above formula.
