Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Marpor's value without leverage is
But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is
The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)
= 16%
Now without leverage is
= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return
= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%
= $100,000,000
b. And, with the new leverage is
= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)
= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)
= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000
= $107,750,000
Answer:
80000 unit of Alpha
Explanation:
This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.
Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.
Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.
<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>
Alpha:
Contribution per unit= SP-VC
Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.
CPU= 120-69
CPU=$51
Beta:
Contribution per unit= 80-40
CPU=$40
<em />
<em />
<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>
Alpha:
CLF: $51÷2
CLF: $25.5 1st Rank
Beta:
CLF: $40÷5
CLF: $8 2nd Rank
So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?
Profit maximizing output:
It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
Answer: (1) 700 pizzas
(2) Its revenue increases by $2600.
Explanation:
Given that,
price elasticity of demand for his pizza = -4
Percentage change in price = 10%
Initial Quantity,
= 500 Pizzas
Elasticity of demand = 
-4 = 
= -4 × 0.1
= 0.4
= 0.4
∴ 
= 700
Initial price, 
= $20
Changed price, 
= $18
Revenue at t = 0
= 500 × 20 =$10000
Revenue at t = 1
= 700 × 18 = $12600
Therefore, from the above calculations it was seen that his revenue increases by ($12600 - $10000)= $2600 and its sales increases to 700.
Answer:
1. Supply will decrease
Explanation:
Due to the basic economic principle that when supply superceeds the demand for goods and services, the prices of such goods and services fall. As a result of this, and an expected increase in future prices, the supply of coffee beans by coffee merchants to the markets will decrease.
This is because the merchants want to receive higher profits and to do so, they will withhold supply to sell in the next six months when the price is higher.
