he director of capital budgeting for See-Saw Inc., manufacturers of playground equipment, is considering a plan to expand produc

tion facilities in order to meet an increase in demand. He estimates that this expansion will produce a rate of return of 11%. The firm's target capital structure calls for a debt/equity ratio of 0.8. See-Saw currently has a bond issue outstanding that will mature in 25 years and has a 7% annual coupon rate. The bonds are currently selling for $804. The firm has maintained a constant growth rate of 6%. See-Saw's next expected dividend is $2 (D1), its current stock price is $40, and its tax rate is 40%. Should it undertake the expansion? (Assume that there is no preferred stock outstanding and that any new debt will have a 25-year maturity.)

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Debt = D ÷ (E + D)

= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)

= 0.4444

Now

Weight of equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.4444

= 0.5556

As per Dividend discount model

Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)

Cost of equity = 11%

Cost of debt

K = N

Let us assume the par value be $1,000

Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N

k=1

K =25

$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25

k=1

YTM = 9

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

= 9 × (1 - 0.21)

= 7.11

WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)

= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556

= 9.27%

As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion

A company estimates that the appropriate discount rate (i.e., the cost of capital) for Project A, Project B, Project C and Proje
aliina [53]

Answer:

a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.

Explanation:

a.

The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.

b.

When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.

c.

The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.

d.

Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.

In addition to the three basic financial statements, which of the following is also a required financial statement? O Statement
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Statement of Cash Flows.

Explanation:

The financial statement comprises of income statement, balance sheet, statement of stockholder equity and the statement of cash flows. It is explained below

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income and the loss on sale of assets is added whereas the gain on sale of assets is deducted  

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.

Dr Computer                                       $3,300

Dr Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                                              $20,000
