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.

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%

- Hey there , ronisha!

Answer:

\large{ \tt{E \: X \: P \: L \: A \: N \: A \: T \: I \: O \: N}} :

  • Full settlement generally means DISCOUNT ALLOWED.

  • Firstly , Read out the question and try to understand. It says we purchased some stuffs of Rs 30000 from the sansee stores and we payed Rs 28000 in full settlement which implies that we received the discount of Rs 30000-28000 i.e Rs 2000.

  • You must have known the rules for debit and credit. As we know In case of personal account , Debit : The receiver , We have sansee stores as the receiver so we placed it in debit side.

  • Remember: When the question says that the cash is payed through cheque , you should always consider cheque as a bank. Now , In the case of personal account , Credit : The giver. Who's the giver? Of course , bank! So , we placed it in credit side.

  • Now , In case of nominal account , Credit : the incomes or gains . The question says we received the discount so obviously it's not expenses. So, We placed discount received in credit side. You must have studied that Every debit should have equal credit. And we're done!

- Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my answer and also don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need any other help! :)
