The president and CFO of Spellman Transportation are having a disagreement about whether to use market value or book value weigh

ts in calculating the WACC. Spellman's balance sheet shows a total of noncallable $45 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 7.00% and a yield to maturity of 6.00%. This debt currently has a market value of $50 million. The company has 10 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $65 million. The current stock price is $22.50 per share; stockholders' required return, r s , is 14.00%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. The CFO thinks the WACC should be based on market value weights, but the president thinks book weights are more appropriate. What is the difference between these two WACCs?a. 1.55%b. 1.72%c. 1.91%d. 2.13%e. 2.36%

Answer:

Difference = 2.36% (Option e)

Explanation:

Formula:

WACC = Re*(E/V) + Rd*(D/V)*(1-t)

<u>Data (In Million)                  Book Value                 Market Value </u>

E = Equity                           $65.00                        $225.00 ($22.50 x 10)

D = Debt                             $45.00                        $50.00

V = Value = E + D               $110.00                      $275.00

Re = Equity Rate                14%                            14%

Rd = Debt Rate                   6%                              6%

T = Tax Rate                      40%                             40%

WACC Book Value:

WACC = 14%*(65/110) + 6%*(45/110)*(1-0.40)  

WACC = 8.27273% + 1.47273%

WACC = 9.75%

WACC Market Value:

WACC = 14%*(225/275) + 6%*(50/275)*(1-0.40)  

WACC = 11.45455% + 0.65455 %

WACC = 12.11%

Difference = 12.11% - 9.75 = 2.36% (Option e)

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

c. place----distribution  

Explanation:

Since it is stated in the example that Sidney's customers expressed a wish for the scanners to be sold through retail alongside the online shop, it is clear that Sidney's company faces an issue regarding the distribution channels.

Of course, there is room for improvement, as they have already noted the customer requests for such a distribution channel and they have a steady demand.

To secure (and increase) their existing customer base from the competitor, Sydney's company has to put <u>place and distribution</u> of its products in the marketing focus.

Answer:

Dr interest expense    $5,756.25

Cr cash                                                $5,250

Cr Discount on bonds payable           $506.25

Explanation:

Amortization of discount=$10,125/10 years*6/12=$506.25

The 6/12 implies that the amortization takes place every six months instead of annually.

The semiannual interest payment=$150,000*7%*6/12=$5,250

The interest payment would be credited to cash $5,250 and debited to interest expense for the year.

The amortization of discount would be credited discounts on bonds payable and credited to interest expense account as shown above in the answer section
