Hankins, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $6.5 million at the end of the firs

t year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .64, a cost of equity of 13.4 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5.9 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
Required:
(a) Calculate the WACC. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
(b) What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

a) the WACC is 11.47%

b) The maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project is $76,741,440.38

Explanation:

D/A = D/(E+D)

D/A = 0.64/(1+0.64)

=0.3902

Weight of equity = 1-D/A

Weight of equity = 1-0.3902

W(E)=0.6098

Weight of debt = D/A

Weight of debt = 0.3902

W(D)=0.3902

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

After tax cost of debt = 5.9*(1-0)

= 5.9

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

WACC=5.9*0.3902+13.4*0.6098

WACC =10.47%

WACC for project = WACC+adj.

                             = 10.47+1

                              =11.47%

b) maximum cost= CF in 1 year/(WACC - growth rate)

                            = 6500000/ (0.1147 - 0.03)

                           = $76741440.38

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is
meriva

Answer:

depreciation expense = $25800 debit

accumulated depreciation = $25800 credit

Explanation:

given data

beginning of the year cost = $135,000

useful life = 5 years

product = 300,000 units

salvage value = $15,000

1st year machine produce =  64,500 units

to find out

machines first year depreciation

solution

we get here machines first year depreciation that is express as

machines depreciation = ( depreciation base ÷ estimate unit produce ) × no of unit produce in 1st year   ...................1

put here value we get

machines depreciation = \frac{135000-15000}{300000} × 64500

machines depreciation = $25800

so here

depreciation expense = $25800 debit

accumulated depreciation = $25800 credit

Suppose your expenses for this term are as follows: tuition: $10,000, room and board: $6,000, books and other educational suppli
Triss [41]
Opportunity cost is the loss due to forgoing one opportunity to select another one alternative.

In this case, the forgone alternative is the full-time employment and other expenses for the term when the alternative chosen is to be in school. In this case, room and board expenses remain the same whether in school or working full time and thus not considered. The part-time amount earned while at school is subtracted as it would be compensated be during full time employment.

Therefore;
Opportunity cost = $20,000+$10,000+$1,000-$8,000 = $23,000

An economy has full-employment output of 5000. Government purchases are 1000. Desired consumption and desired investment are giv
V125BC [204]

Answer:

a. real interest rate is 0.217 or 21.7%.

b. saving = 134 , investment is 332 ,  consumption is 3666.

Explanation:

a) Y = Cd + Id + Gd

Where Y= output

Cd= consumption

Id= Investment purchases

Gd=Government purchases

Y= (3600 - 2000r + 0.10Y) + (1200 - 4000r) + 1000

Y=5800-6000r+0.10Y

0.9Y=5800-6000r

At full employment Y=5000

Putting the value of Y in the above equation

0.9*5000=5800-6000r

5800-4500=6000r

r=0.217

Therefore real interest rate is 0.217 or 21.7%.

(b) Sd = Y - Cd - G

where Sd is national saving

Sd = Y - (3600 - 2000r + 0.1Y) - 1200

Sd = 5000-(3600 - 2000*0.217 + 0.1*5000) - 1200 =5000-3600+434-500-1200 = 134

Therefore, saving = 134

Id= 1200-4000*0.217 =332

Therefore, investment is 332

Cd= 3600-2000r+0.10Y=3600-434+500=3666

Therefore, consumption is 3666.
