Pendergast, Inc., has no debt outstanding, and has a total market value of $180,000. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) a

re projected to be $23,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is a strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20% higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30% lower. Pendergast is considering a $75,000 debt issue with a 7% interest rate. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 6,000 shares of stock outstanding, and the relevant tax rate is 35%.
Required:

(a) Calculate the return on equity (ROE) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)).

(b) Calculate the percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands or enters a recession. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:

return on equity (ROE) = net income / shareholders' equity

shareholders' equity = $180,000

economic scenarios:

  1. normal ⇒ EBIT = $23,000
  2. economic expansion ⇒ EBIT = $27,600
  3. economic recession ⇒ EBIT = $16,100

additionally, $75,000 in debt will be used to repurchase stocks, so shareholders' equity = $180,000 - $75,000 = $105,000

interest on the loan = $75,000 x 7% = $5,250

tax rate = 35%

net income in 3 economic scenarios:

  1. normal ⇒ ($23,000 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $11,537.50
  2. economic expansion ⇒ ($27,600 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $14,527.50
  3. economic recession ⇒ ($16,100 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $7,052.50

A) ROE under 3 different economic scenarios:

  1. normal = $11,537.50 / $105,000 = 10.99%
  2. economic expansion = $14,527.50 / $105,000 = 13.84%
  3. economic recession = $7,052.50 / $105,000 = 6.72%

B)

When the economy expands, the ROE will increase by 11.46% compared to the normal economic activity [= (13.84% - 10.99%) / 10.99%]

When the economy enters a recession, the ROE will decrease by -38.85% compared to the normal economic activity [= (6.72% - 10.99%) / 10.99%]

If you had a choice how much are you willing to pay per month to have access to and use the various social media platforms?​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: $10 per month

Explanation:

$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.

I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.

Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.

Zar company paid employee wages on and through friday,january,26 and the next playroll will be paid in february. Emploees work 5
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Debit to Salaries Expense $2,700; Credit to Salaries Payable $2,700

Explanation:

In accounting, we have to recognize all expenses even though we haven't paid it yet. This is one of those instances.

The employees have worked for 3 days at the end of January but will not receive their payment on that day. That equates to $2,700 of salaries accrued at the end of January.

Accrued Expenses are recorded as payables, in this problem it's "Salaries Payable".

So to complete the adjusting journal entry:

(Debit)        Salaries Expense        $2,700

(Credit)                Salaries Payable              $2,700
