A common bracket can be purchased in large quantities for $0.67. The company can make the bracket at a variable cost of $0.41 by

buying a machine for $33,000. Demand over the next two years (the anticipated life of the product and machine) is estimated to be normally distributed with mean 100,000 units and a standard deviation of 10,000 units. Would you recommend making or buying this bracket?

Answer:

we recommnend to buy this bracket

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given tyhat

Buying cost of the machine = $33,000 = x

x_1 = $0.67

And, x_2 = $0.41

Now the break even point is

X = x ÷ (x_1 - x_2)

= $33,000 ÷ ($0.67 - $0.41)

= 126,923 units

Therefore

Probability  (Demand > Break even point)

= 1 - \phi ($126,923 - 100,000) ÷ 10,000

= 1 - \phi (2.69)

= 0.36%

where

\phi = function of cumulative distribution of N (0,1)

Therefore the probability is that it makes economically the items would be lesser

Thus, we recommnend to buy this bracket

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Masterson, Inc.

1. The company's capital structure weights on a book value basis are:

Book Value Weights:

Equity = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = 0.73 0r 73%

2. The company's capital structure weights on market value basis are:

Market Value Weights:

Equity = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = 0.25 or 25%

3. The market value weights of Masterson's common stock and debts are more relevant because they represent a more current valuation of the equity and the debts.  It is easier to calculate the book value weights since the information is more readily available within the entity than the information on market weights.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:              

Equity                                     Units                     Total Value

Outstanding common stock  4.4 million shares

Current share price              $89.50                  $393.8 million

Book value per share           $11.25                    $49.5 million

Debt                                        Units                     Total Value

First bond:

 Face value                             81,000                   $81 million

 Market value                         81,000                    $78.165 million

Coupon rate =                         5.1%                       $4.131 million p.a.

Second bond:

 Face value                            53,000                   $53 million

 Market value                        53,000                   $54.445 million

Coupon rate =                        5.3%                      $2,809 million p.a.

Total book value of bonds    134,000                 $134 million

Total market value of bonds 134,000                 $132.61 million

Capital structure      Equity                    Bonds                 Total

Book value              $49.5 million          $134 million       $183.5 million

Market value           $393.8 million        $132.61 million  $526.41 million

Book Value Weights:

Equity = $49.5/$183.5 = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = $134/$183.5 = 0.73 0r 73%

Market Value Weights:

Equity = $393.8/$526.41 = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = $132.61/$526.41 = 0.25 or 25%
