Answer:
a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not change, what is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
ii. If the risk of the debt increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part (i)?
- If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.
Explanation:
common stock $200 million
total debt $100 million
required rate of return 15%
cost of debt 6%
current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million
if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12
if instead new debt is issued at 6%:
equity 150 million, debt 150 million
cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million
remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million
ROI = 27/150 = 18%
Answer:
arithmetic average growth rate = (4% + 3.37% + 5.12% + 3.1%) / 4 = 3.9%
we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
- expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.039 = $2.42
- stock price = $55
- growth rate = 0.039
55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.039)
RRR - 0.039 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044
RRR = 0.083 = 8.3%
geometric average growth rate = [(1.04 x 1.0337 x 1.0512 x 1.031)¹/⁴] - 1 = 3.89%
again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
- expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.0389 = $2.42
- stock price = $55
- growth rate = 0.0389
55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.0389)
RRR - 0.0389 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044
RRR = 0.0829 = 8.29%
Answer:
The materials equivalent units is 37,700
Conversion costs equivalent units is 32,480
Explanation:
The equivalent units of production for materials can be computed thus:
Description quantity % of completion Equivalent units
Completed units 29000 100 29000
(37700-8700)
Ending inventory 8700 100 <u> 8700</u>
total equivalent units for materials 37700
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs can be computed thus:
Description quantity % of completion Equivalent units
Completed units 29000 100 29000
(37700-8700)
Ending inventory 8700 40 <u> 3480
</u>
total equivalent units for conversion costs 32480
I applied 100% percentage of completion to ending inventory when determining materials equivalent units and 40% percentage completion when determining equivalent units for conversion cots as it given in the question
Answer:
1. Total interest rate is $166,790
2. Refer to the attached file for the straight-line amortization table for the bonds' life.
3.
To record interest rate paid in 30th June 2018:
Dr Interest expenses 16,679
Dr Premium on bond payable 4,521
Cr Cash 21,200
To record interest rate paid in 31st Dec 2018:
Dr Interest expenses 16,679
Dr Premium on bond payable 4,521
Cr Cash 21,200
Explanation:
Total interest rate as followed : Interest payment - Premium on bond payable = 530,000 x 8% /2 x 10 - (575,210 - 530,000) =166,790.
Answer:
$5.89
Explanation:
The computation of current dividend per share is shown below:-
(Dividend in One Year) ÷ Current Price
= 14% ÷ 2
= 7%
Dividend = Dividend yield × Stock currently sold per share
= 0.07 × $90
= 6.3
Current dividend per share = Dividend ÷ (1 + Dividend yield)
= 6.3 ÷ (1 + 0.07)
= 6.3 ÷ 1.07
= $5.89
Therefore for computing the current dividend per share we simply applied the above formula.
