Answer:
Using the discount cash flow model to value the company, we can say that the company is worth $85 million / 12% = $708.33 million
Each stock should be worth approximately $708.33 million / 100 million = $7.0833 per stock
If the company uses the cash to finance new projects, then future cash flows should be approximately $97.75 million, and the company's value = $97.75 million / 12% = $814.583 million. This represents a 15% increase in value. The stock price should also increase by 15% to $8.1458 per stock.
If the company instead decides to repurchase stocks using all the cash, then it could repurchase 35.29 million stocks. Since we are assuming that the company's future cash flows wouldn't be affected by this decision, then the company's total value will still be $708.33 million, but each stock would be worth much more = $708.33 / 64.71 million stocks = $10.95. This represents a 34.36% increase with respect to the other alternative of investing the cash.
The issue here, is that this situation is not very realistic. It is not normal for a company to use all of its cash to repurchase stocks since it would result in a huge increase in stock prices (stock prices are set by supply and demand). Also, this would also result in a sharp increase in the cost of equity due to higher risks.
Answer:
Ethics
Explanation:
Ethics also called moral philosophy involves how an individual systemises, defends and recommends the concept of right or wrong.
Summer is facing an ethical decision of either returning the bag or keeping it for herself. Her decision will be based on her definition of right or wrong.
If her moral philosophy is one that does not see theft as something that is wrong, she will decide to keep the bag. If on the other hand she sees keeping the bag that is not her own as wrong she will decide to return it.
Answer:
His company had been going through a lot of transition in the past year because they wanted to improve their public image.
George made sure that the restaurant served all the dishes that were popular in the locality.
Explanation:
An "ethical leader" is concerned about the beliefs and values of people in the society. In order to adapt to locality, George has to consider the company's virtues by improving their public image. This will make their restaurants desirable. This can also be done if the restaurants will make sure <u>to know what the popular dishes are in the local area.</u> For example, if the people prefer "halal" food, then they'll be preparing halal foods as well. This is an ethical way of respecting the people's preference in the area.
So, this explains the answers.
Answer:
December 31, 2018, bonds are issued
Dr Cash 461,795
Cr Bonds payable 450,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 11,795
amortization expense per coupon = $11,795 / 6 coupon payments = $1,965.83
June 30, 2019, first coupon payment
Dr interest expense 18,284.17
Dr Premium on bonds payable 1,965.83
