Answer:
= $52.78 per share
Explanation:
<em>The value of a business can be determined using the free cash flow model. According to this model, the value of a firm is is the present value of its free cash flow discounted at the weigthed average cost of capital (WACC.)</em>
<em>The value of equity is the value of firm less value of other instruments (e.g debt and preferred stocks)</em>
<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt </em>
We can work out the the value per share using the steps below:
<em>Step 1</em>
<em>Calculate the total value of the firm</em>
Value of firm = 27.50/(0.1-0.07)
= $916.66 million
<em>Step 2</em>
<em>Calculate the value of equity</em>
<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt</em>
= $916.66 million - $125.0 million
=791.666 million
<em>Step 3</em>
<em>Calculate the value per share</em>
Value per share = Value of equity/ units of common stock
=$791.666 million/15 million units
= $52.78 per share
Answer:
The store manager must decide to buy 3
Explanation:
Given that:
- The first: $200 a year
- The second $150
- The third $75,
- The fourth $50
- Interest rate is 12 percent
- Investment: $500
As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment
So the rate of return of:
- The first: $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
- The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
- The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
- The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%
Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Jan 1
Cash $500,000
To Bond Payable $500,000
(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)
On Dec 31
Bond Payable $500,000
Loss on redemption $15,000 ($500,000 × 3%)
To Cash ($500,000 × 103%) $515,000
(Being the redemption of the bond is recorded and the remaining balance or we can say balancing figure is debited to loss on redemption)
Answer:
Risk free interest rate is 5%
Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5
X is 0.29 when Y is 7%
Explanation:
Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation
The average expected return is given by Y
Y=0.05+0.07X
Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus
Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)
Y=0.05+0.105
Y=0.155
Y=15.5%
The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:
7%=0.05+0.07X
where X is the unknown
0.07=0.05+0.07X
0.07-0.05=0.07X
0.02=0.07X
X=0.02/0.07
X=0.29
The scenario illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.
