Answer:

The amount of Bateman's gain is $402,850, in character of profits from the sale of property and equipment

Explanation:

The gain of selling an asset is determined by the formula: Sale price minus Book value. The book value of the building is Cost minus accumulated depreciation. So, the book value is 599,525 - 201,425 = 398,100

Then, the amount of Bateman's gain is equal to 800,950 - 398,100 = 402,850.

maria [59]

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.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a. the advertisements wasted money and time because they were not targeted properly

Explanation:

The advertisement is not well targeted, with the increased unemployment in this region and the fact that the major source of economic wealth ( the beer manufacturer) has been bought and relocated, means the economy is not well profiled for the luxury cars that are advertised.
