c. The difference in the INCREASE of income from operations is due to the difference in the operating leverages. Beck Inc.'s HIGHER operating leverage means that its fixed costs are a HIGHER percentage of contribution margin than are Bryant Inc.'s.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                           Beck Inc.       Bryant Inc.

Sales                                $219,400         $585,000

Variable costs                     88,000            351,000

Contribution margin        $131,400         $234,000

Fixed costs                         58,400             39,000

Income from operations $73,000          $195,000

Total costs                     $146,400         $390,000

Operating leverage             1.8                     1.2

Operating leverage = Contribution Margin/Income from operations

Increase in Sales by 15%

                                           Beck Inc.       Bryant Inc.

Sales                                 $252,310         $672,750

Answer: The correct answer is "a. the dollar will depreciate and the peso will appreciate.".

Explanation:  If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that the dollar will depreciate and the peso will appreciate.

As inflation in the United States is higher, the dollar is affected by a loss of purchasing power, therefore it depreciates with respect to the Mexican peso.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 6.45%

Explanation:

In computing the after tax cost of debt, the starting point would be to ascertain the pre-tax cost of debt-yield to maturity-before applying the tax.

The yield to maturity can be calculated using the rate formula in excel ,given as :=rate( nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the nuer of coupon interest the bond would pay which is 20

pmt is the annual payment of the bond which is 13%*$1000=$130

pv is the current price of the bond $1,181.96

fv is the face value of the bond which is $1000

=rate(20,130,-1181.96,1000)

rate=10.75%

Pretax cost of debt is 10.75%

After tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

tax rate is 40%=0.4

                                  =10.75%*(1-0.4)

                                   =6.45%

Income Statement For the Year Ended on December 31 J&amp;H Corp. Industry Average Net sales $39,000,000 $48,750,000 Operating co
noname [10]

Answer:

1.J&H Corp’s NOPAT is $3,744,000, which is $936,000 lower than industry average of $4,680,000

2.Net operating working capital of $18,000 is been used by the company.

3.J&H Corp will be generating $5,019,600 in net cash flow from its operations and an accounting profit of $3,369,600

4.Therefore the firm uses $978,000 of total net operating capital to run the business.

Explanation:

J&H Corp

1. Calculation for NOPAT

NOPAT = 6,240,000 x (1- 40%)

= 6,240,000 x (1 – 0.4)

= 6,240,000 x 0.6

= $3,744,000

Calculation for Industry Average

Industry Average= 7,800,000 x (1- 40%)

7,800,000×(1-0.4)

7,800,000×0.6

=$4,680,000

Hence:

($4,680,000-$3,744,000)=$936,000

J&H Corp’s NOPAT is $3,744,000, which is $936,000 lower than industry average of $4,680,000

2:Calculation for Net Operating Working Capital

Net Operating Working Capital= Current Operating Assets − Current Operating Liabilities

Net Operating Working Capital= (Cash + Accounts Receivable + Inventories)− (Accounts Payable + Accrued Expenses)

Short term investments won't be included in Current Operating Assets

Given current assets = $600,000 ×12% in Short term investments = $72,000

Therefore Current Operating Assets will be: 600,000 – 72,000 = $528,000

Current Operating Liabilities = $510,000

Net Operating Working Capital

= $528,000 - $510,000 = $18,000

Net operating working capital of $18,000 is been used by the company.

3. Calculation for Net cash flow operations

Net cash flow from operations = Net income + Depreciation & Amortization + Changes in Working Capital

Changes in working capital = Working capital of the year

= $600,000 - $510,000

= $90,000

Net cash flow from operations will be:

$3,369,600 + $1,560,000 + $90,000 = $5,019,600

The Accounting profit will be the total revenue less the explicit costs

Explicit costs includes operating expenses, depreciation, interest and taxes.

Hence, the Accounting Profit will be :

Net income = $3,369,600

J&H Corp will be generating $5,019,600 in net cash flow from its operations and an accounting profit of $3,369,600

4. Calculation for the Total net operating capital

Total net operating capital = Net Operating Working Capital + Non-current Operating Assets

$528,000 - $510,000 = $18,000

Net Operating Working Capital = $18,000

Non-current Operating Assets = operating long term assets = $960,000

Total net operating capital

= $18,000 + $960,000

= $978,000

Therefore the firm uses $978,000 of total net operating capital to run the business. Thus the value is been computed as the sum of J&H Corp’s net operating working capital and its Non-current Operating Assets.
