Answer:

A pharmaceutical giant acquires a manufacturer of rare specialty drugs to improve its falling share prices and invests all its w
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

It is a winning strategy.

Explanation:

As a result of joint venture, after all the ups and downs, the company is in a strong financial position, as company is producing good profits. Also the company has great market position.

Once a great market position, the influence is spread in the market.

Further, in the given instance the company has failed to acquire the manufacturing company individually, but with joint venture, the company has now established connections not only in pharma sector but also in automobiles.

These things affect the company's position and then influence the market, attracting more customers for the product, and more investors for investment.

Therefore, it is a winning strategy.

Spade Agency separates its accounts receivable into three age groups for purposes of estimating the percentage of uncollectible
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

a. total estimated uncollectible accounts is $21,190

b. to entry the adjustment, we have to debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $14,690

Explanation:

a. to compute the estimated uncollectible accounts, we have to multiply the specific % to the accounts receivable plus the beginning balance;

•Accounts not due

$36,000 x 4% = $1,440

•Accounts 1 - 60 days past due

$21,000 x 25% = $5,250

•Accounts more than 60 days past due

$16,000 x 50% = $8,000

So the total uncollectible accounts would be; $6,500 + $1,440 + $5,250 + $8,000 = $21,190

b. to record the year-end adjustment of the uncollectible accounts, we have to debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $14,690. This figure is the uncollectible amount we computed earlier based on the aging.

Holland Auto Parts is considering a merger with Workman Car Parts. Workman's market-determined beta is 0.9, and the firm current
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

0.097 OR 9.7%

Explanation:

Cost of Equity using CAPM-

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

where,

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Therefore,

Re = .06 + .9 (.04)

    = 9.6%

Unlevered cost of equity:

ReU = Wd × rd + We × re

where,

ReU = Unlevered cost of equity,

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

re = cost of equity  = 9.6%

Therefore,

ReU = 0.20 × 8% + .80 × 9.6%

       = 9.28%

Levered cost of Equity:

New Debt = 60%,

New Equity = 40%,

New rd = 9%

ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)

= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)

= 0.097 OR 9.7%
