Masterson, Inc., has 4.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89.50, and the book value per s

hare is $11.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $81 million, a coupon rate of 5.1%, and sells for 96.5% of par. The second issue has a face value of $53 million, a coupon rate of 5.8%, and sells for 106.5% of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 9 years. The most recent dividend was $4.28 and the dividend growth rate is 5.3%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semi-annual payments. The tax rate is 21%.

b. What are the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis?

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%

xeze [42]

Answer:

1.64 years

2.27 years

3.13 years

Explanation:

Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90

Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years

B

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76

Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years

C

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24

Present value in year 4 =  4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60

Amount recovered in year 4  = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36

Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years

When iTunes sells a song or movie, it must record the transaction in accounts. Which accounts might iTunes use when it sells a s
Kay [80]

Since the actual process of the transaction is instantaneous, and its takes the money directly out of your account, the account they're dealing with is most likely Revenue.

Accounts Receivable is also another option that may come to mind, but remember that in this account, the seller is waiting for payment. Once the responsible party pays the seller, A/R is credited (decreased) and Revenue is debited (increased).

With iTunes (as stated previously), the transaction happens right then and there. We pay cash and iTunes gives us the song/movie/album/etc. Therefore, the only logical answer would be <u>Revenue</u>. In this case, <em>Sales Revenue</em> since we're dealing with a type of retailer and not a service.

What is the difference between a bear market and a bull market​
leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

A bear market, refers to a stock market in which the stock and index prices are generally expected to fall, have been or are falling. In contrast, a bull market refers to a stock market where share or index prices are expected to rise, have been or are rising.
