Luden [163]

Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars Firm HD Firm LD

Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt $100 $60

Interest $12 $6

($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)

Taxable income $28 $36

($40- $12) ($40 - $6)

Net income $18.2 $22.1

$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity $100 $140

($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)

ROE 18.2% 15.79%

($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

Bethesda Biosys issues an IPO on a best-efforts basis. The company's investment bank requires a spread of 18 percent of the sell

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Bethesda Biosys

Issue of an IPO:

Net proceeds for the issuer is $82 million, if all the 4 million shares are bought by investors.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

The spread is $4.5 (18% of $25) per share, since average selling price is $25.

Therefore, the net proceed per share is $20.50 ($25 - 4.50).

And the Total Net Proceeds = $82 million ($20.50 * 4 million), assuming that all four million shares were bought by the public.

Note that the question did not provide the necessary information to make the final decision.

b) During the issue of securities, especially an IPO, underwriters, such as investment banks, pay an issuing company for the securities and then sell the securities to the public. There is always a difference per share price that they are willing to pay the issuer and what they will collect from the investing public. That difference is called the underwriting spread or simply the spread.

c) Best-Efforts Basis: According to investopedia.com, underwriting on best-effort basis is "an agreement between an underwriter and an issuer in which the underwriter agrees to place as much of an offering with investors as possible, but is not responsible for any portion of the offering it fails to sell."

Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses

= 131,000 - 90,500

= $41,000

The company did in fact generate profit of $41,000 and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.

b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:

Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies

= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700

= $96,800

Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.

Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities.

This information comes from the Balance Sheet which is where assets and liabilities are shown.
