Answer:

Most of the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

<em>The Steel Mill is currently operating at 84 percent of capacity. Annual sales are $28,400 and net income is $2,250. The firm has current liabilities of $2,700, long-term debt of $9,800, net fixed assets of $16,900, net working capital of $5,000, and owners' equity of $12,100. All costs and net working capital vary directly with sales. The tax rate and profit margin will remain constant. The dividend payout ratio is constant at 40 percent. How much additional debt is required if no new equity is raised and sales are projected to increase by 12 percent?</em>

<em></em>

if the firm is operating at full capacity, then it will need to raise new debt:

EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S = $24,600 / $28,400 = 0.866

ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408

L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095

PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079

FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808

(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6

EFN = (0.866 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6)  = $2,951.33 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = $1,119.87

but if the firm is operating only at 84% (16% spare capacity), then it will not need to raise new debt:

EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S = $7,700 / $28,400 = 0.271

since there is 16% of spare capacity, no new fixed assets will be required

ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408

L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095

PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079

FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808

(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6

EFN = (0.271 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6)  = $923.57 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = -$907.89

Suppose three engineers come to you with a plan for a disruptive, yet-to-be developed software program that seems compelling. Th
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Proposed bargain or deal is supportive of the business visionaries instead of the financial backer(investor) since all the capital is coming from the financial backer and the investor will be receiving just only 25% for the bargain or deal while he faces all the challenges posed or loss of capital. The business visionaries are not placing in any of their own personal capital but only their idea. They likewise have a bigger say in the administration of the business and the financial backer has no power over the choice since he conveys just 25% votes. Consequently, it's not a good bargain or deal for the financial backer considering the risk-reward ratio.

The counter-offer will include raising a proposed equity percent rate to half  (i.e 50%). In addition to that, the financial backer needs to demand another seat on the board with the goal that they have equivalent authority over the administration and its choices. The most reduced the financial backer can go down is equity of 40% stake.

Bill has been adding funds to his investment account each year for the past 3 years. He started with an initial investment of $1
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2.96% will be effective rate of the investment

Explanation:

First year:

1,000 x 1 + 10%) = 1,100

<em><u>Second year: </u></em>

1,100 + 3,000 = 4,100 invesmtent balance

4,100 x (1  - 5%) = 3,895

<em><u>Third year:</u></em>

3,895 + 2,000 = 5,895

5,895 x (1 + 2%) = 6012.9

<em><u>Fourth year:</u></em>

6012.9 + 500 = 6512.9

6,512.9 x (1+ 8%)  =  7033.932

We calcualte rate that is equivalent with the following cash flow:

1,000 (1+r)^4 + 3,000  (1+r)^3 +  2,000(1+r)^2 +  500(1+r) = 7,033.93

We solve using excel goal seek
