Global Traders is offering 130,000 shares of stock to the public in a general cash offer. The offer price is $38 a share and the
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

correct option is b. $3,679,800

Explanation:

given data

offering = 130,000 shares

offer price = $38

underwriter spread = 8 percent

administrative costs = $865,000

solution

we get here Net proceeds from sale that is express as

Net proceeds = Gross proceeds - Underwriter's spread - Administrative costs ....................1

here Gross proceeds from sale is = offering share × offer price

Gross proceeds from sale is  = 130000 × $38

Gross proceeds from sale is  = $49,40,000

and Underwriter's spread will be offering share × offer price  × underwriter spread %

Underwriter's spread = $49,40,000 × 8%

Underwriter's spread = $3,95,200

so Net proceeds  will be

Net proceeds = $49,40,000 - $3,95,200 - $865,000

Net proceeds = $3,679,800

so correct option is b. $3,679,800

If an economy is producing at a point on its production possibilities frontier, it is: a.efficient in production and allocation.
irinina [24]

Answer:

d.efficient in production but not necessarily in allocation.

Explanation:

The production possibility curve portrays the cost of society's choice between two different goods. An economy that operates at the frontier has the highest standard of living it can achieve, as it is producing as much as it can using the same resources. If the amount produced is inside the curve, then all of the resources are not being used.

- all points on the curve are points of maximum productive efficiency

- However, an economy may achieve productive efficiency without necessarily being allocatively efficient. Market failure (such as imperfect competition or externalities) and some institutions of social decision-making (such as government and tradition) may lead to the wrong combination of goods being produced (hence the wrong mix of resources being allocated between producing the two goods) compared to what consumers would prefer, given what is feasible on the PPF.

The president of the company you work for has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Part A)

Year 0 net cash flow would comprise of basic price, modification cost and requirement for net working capital. The formula for cash flow in Year 0 would be:

Year 0 Net Cash Flow = -Basic Price - Modification Cost - NWC

______________

Using the values provided in the question, we get,

Year 0 Net Cash Flow = -190,000 - 47,500 - 9,500 = -$247,000

______________________

Part B:

Year 1, 2 and 3 would required adjustment for depreciation charges (under MACRS) against expected savings. The depreciation rates for 3 year class asset would be 33%, 45% and 15% for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 respectively.

Depreciation would be calculated on the equipment's basic price and modification cost.

The formula that can be used to calculate the net operating cash flow would be:

Net Operating Cash Flow = (Sales - Depreciation)*(1-Tax Rate) + Depreciation

______________

Using the values provided in the question, we get, the table in the attached file

Important Information:

Depreciation (Year 1) = (190,000 + 47,500)*33% = $78,375

Depreciation (Year 2) = (190,000 + 47,500)*45% = $106,875

Depreciation (Year 3) = (190,000 + 47,500)*15% = $35,625

______________________

Part C:

Additional non operating cash flow would consist of after-tax salvage value and return of net working capital. Relevant formulas are:

Additional Non Operating Cash Flow = After Tax Salvage Value + Return of Net Working Capital

After Tax Salvage Value = Sales Value +/- Tax on Loss/Gain from Sale of Asset

Loss/Gain from Sale of Asset = Sales Value - Book Value

Book Value = (Basic Price + Modification Cost)*(1-(33%+45%+15%))

______________

Using the above mentioned formulas, we get,

Book Value = (190000 + 47500)*(1-(33%+45%+15%)) = $16,625

Gain on Sale of Equipment = 66,500 - 16,625 = $49,875

Tax on Gain = $49,875*30% = $14,962.50

After Tax Salvage Value = 66,500 - 14,962.50 = $51,537.50

_____________________

Additional (Non Operating) Cash Flow = $51,537.50 + $9,500 = $61,037.50 or $61,038
