Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?

Equity value = Debt value / Debt to equity ratio

= 3,300,000/0.3

= 11,000,000

Market value = Debt value + Equity value

= $3,300,000 + $11,000,000

= $14,300,000

b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?

To solve this, we need to know the interest payment first which will be:

= $3,300,000 × 9%

= $3,300,000 × 0.09

= $297000

Return on equity will now be:

= (EBIT - interest) / Equity

= (1320000 - 297000) / 11000000

= 9.30%

c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?

This will be:

= Earnings before Interest / Unlevered firm value

= 1320000 / 14300000

= 9.23%

d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?

This will be:

= 9.23% + 50% × (9.23% - 9%)

= 9.35%

Lina20 [59]

Answer: $360,050

Explanation:

The total cost of a fixed asset refers to all the cash that was paid to acquire the asset, transport it and then install it.

Cost of the new machinery is therefore = Discounted cost price + Sales tax + Installation charges + Concrete slab

= (270,000 * (1 - 2%)) + 79,750 + 4,800 + 10,900

= 264,600 + 79,750 + 4,800 + 10,900

= $360,050

<em>Cost price was discounted by 2% as per the credit terms of 2/10 which means that there is a discount of 2% if the asset is paid for in 10 days. </em>
