Answer:

A. $450

B. $480

C. $540

D. The choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.

Explanation:

a) Calculation to determine her cash flow under the current capital structure

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

EPS = $29,000 / 6,500 shares

EPS = $4.5

Now let calculate the cash flow under the current capital structure

Cash flow = $4.5*(100 shares)

Cash flow = $450

Therefore her cash flow under the current capital structure will be $450

b) Calculation to determine What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm

First step is to calculate the earnings per share

First step is to calculate the MV of the firm

MV of the firm= $45(6,500)

MV of the firm= $292,500

Second step is to calculate the Debt

Debt = .30 x ($292,500)

Debt= $87,750

Third step is to calculate the Interest

Interest =8% x $87,750

Interest = $7,020

Fourth step is to calculate the repurchase shares

Repurchase shares =$87,750 / $45

Repurchase shares= 1,950

Fifth step is to calculate the Shrout new

Shrout new =6,500 - 1,950

Shrout new=4,550

Therefore, under the new capital structure,

EPS = (EBIT - Interest) / shares outstanding new

EPS = ($29,000 -$7,020) / 4,550shares

EPS =$21,980/4,550 shares

EPS =4.8

The shareholder will receive = $4.8*(100 shares) = $480

Therefore What will be the cash flow be under the proposed capital structure of the firm is $480

c) Calculation to Show how she could unlever her shares of stock to re-create the original structure.

Now she owns a total of 200 shares

Her payoff =[ (100 shares+100 shares) x $4.5 ]- [8% x $(100 shares x $45)]

Her payoff =(200shares×$4.5)-(8%×$4,500)

Her payoff =$900-$360

Her payoff= $540

Therefore Based on the above Calculation Allison did not successfully replicate the payoffs (b) under the proposed capital structure

d).Based on the above Calculation the choice of capitl structure is irrelevant because the amount of $480 is the payoff amount based on the proposed capital structure with 30% debt, which indicate that investors cannot make use of home leverage to help create the capital structure as well as the payoffs they like.

Ghella [55]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As a result of the Accrual principle in accounting, transactions need to be recorded in the period that they occur in and not in the period they are paid for in.

The interest in Year 1 was incurred in year 1 and so will need to be recorded in year 1 for the period from issuance of the note to the last day of the accounting period.

This means that if the last day of the accounting period is December 31st, the interest for year 1 would have to be accrued from September to December of year 1 and recorded as year 1 interest.

The publisher of an economics textbook finds that, when the book's price is lowered from $70 to $60, sales rise from 10,000 to 1
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand = 2.6

Explanation:

Given:

Old price (P0) = $70

New price (P1) = $60

Old sales (Q0) = 10,000 units

New sales (Q1) = 15,000 units

Computation of Price elasticity of demand(e):

Midpoint method

e=\frac{\frac{Q1-Q0}{\frac{Q1+Q0}{2} } }{\frac{P1-P0}{\frac{P1+P0}{2} } }

By putting the value:

e=\frac{\frac{10,000-15,000}{\frac{10,000+15,000}{2} } }{\frac{60-70}{\frac{60+70}{2} } }\\e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{\frac{25,000}{2} } }{\frac{-10}{\frac{130}{2} } }\\

e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{12,500} }{\frac{-10}{65} }

e =  2.6
