Answer:

a. $47.3 billion

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of the firm is as follows;

Value of Equity = FCFE × (1+ g ) ÷ (ke - g)

= $2 billion × (1 + 0.03) ÷ (0.12 - 0.03)

= $22.89 billion

Now  

Current Value of Firm = Market Value of equity + market Value of Debt

= $22.89 billion + $24.44 billion

= $47.3 billion

Hence, the current value of the firm is $47.3 billion

hence, the correct option is A.

Scrat [10]

Solution:

Manufacturing overhead expense volatility will be determined by subtracting the overhead cost of output from the total overhead cost of production according to the adjustable budget.

(Manufacturing overhead cost as per flexible budget) =

(Actual units x Variable manufacturing overhead per unit +Fixed manufacturing overhead  )

= (5,050 x $1.30)+ $41,500 = $48,065  

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $47,905

Therefore, Manufacturing overhead spending variance

= $48,065 - $47,905 = $160

The deviation is positive as the real expense is smaller than the adjustable cost of the program.

klasskru [66]

Answer: $1,200,000

Explanation:

The firm should include $1,200,000 as the cost of the Manufacturing facility for a new project in it's analysis.

This is because $1,200,000 is the opportunity cost of not selling the facility. The old costs that were incurred for the land and the facility are to be considered sunk costs as they have already been incurred and the only relevant cost now is what the market will pay for the facility which is $1,200,000.

Tom Adams has received a job offer from a large investment bank as a clerk to an associate banker. His base salary will be $59,0
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Present value of the offer = $739,018.03

Explanation:

The cash flows described in the question from end of year 1 to end of year 20 represent a growing annuity for  20 years. The present value of a growing annuity is calculated as follows:

PV= \frac{P}{i-g}*[1-[\frac{1+g}{1+i}]^n]

where P = the annuity payment in the first period

          i = interest rate per period that would be compounded for each period

         g = growth rate

         n = number of payment periods

P in the 1st year = the base salary of $59,000 + the 10% bonus of $5,900 = $64,900; g is 3.9% ;i=0.1 and n = 20

Present value of the offer = 15,000 received immediately + PV of the growing annuity

= 15,000+\frac{64,900}{0.1-0.039}*[1-[\frac{1+0.039}{1+0.1}]^2^0]=739,018.03

DanielleElmas [232]

capital structure weight is = 0.349

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of share 10,700

per share price is $41

number of share of stock is 240

per share price of preferred stock is $92

number of bonds 570

coupon rate is 6% paid semiannually

mutuarity life of bonds is 22 year

face value of bonds is $1000

selling price 104.5% per par

common stock = 10,700 \times $41 = 438,700

Preferred stock  = 240\times 92 = 222,080

Bonds = 570\times 1000\times 1.045  = 595,650

Total amount = 438,700 + 222,080+595,650 = 1,256,430

capital structure weight is = \frac{438,700}{1,256,430} = 0.349
