As a consultant to First Responder Inc., you have obtained the following data (dollars in millions). The company plans to pay ou

t all of its earnings as dividends, hence g = 0. Also, no net new investment in operating capital is needed because growth is zero. The CFO believes that a move from zero debt to 20.0% debt would cause the cost of equity to increase from 10.0% to 12.0%, and the interest rate on the new debt would be 8.0%. What would the firm's total market value be if it makes this change? Hints: Find the FCF, which is equal to NOPAT = EBIT(1 %u2013 T) because no new operating capital is needed, and then divide by
(WACC %u2013 g).

Oper. income (EBIT) $800 Tax rate 40.0%
New cost of equity (rs) 12.00% New debt ratio 20.0%
Interest rate (rd) 8.00%

Answer:

the firm's total market value be if it makes this change is up to 4545.45

Explanation:

  • Step 1. Find the WACC according to the following calculation.

  • Step 2. Set up the variables. WACC = 0.8*12 + 0.2*8*(1-0.4) = 9.6 + 0.96 = 10.56 % ;

  • Step 3. Solve.  FCF = EBIT/WACC = 800*(1-0.4)/0.1056 = $ 4545.45

Production workers for Chadwick Manufacturing Company provided 3,200 hours of labor in January and 2,800 hours in February. The
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The insurance cost should be allocated to the products made in January and to those made in February is $8,000 and $7,000 respectively.

Explanation:

For computing the allocated insurance cost, first, we have to compute the per labor rate which is shown below:

Per labor rate = (Annual premium) ÷ (Labor hours)

                       = ($120,000) ÷ (48,000 hours)

                       = $2.5

Now the insurance cost would be

For January = Labor rate per hour × number of labor hours\

                    = 3,200 hours × $2.5

                    = $8,000

For February = Labor rate per hour × number of labor hours

                      = 2,800 hours × $2.5

                      = $7,000

Daily Bread Bakeries, Inc., contracts to buy all of its ingredient requirements for bread making, at a certain minimum per year,
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

D) a repudiation of the contract.

Explanation:

In contract law, the repudiation of a contract refers to refusal to perform the duties required by the contract. Anticipatory repudiation refers to notifying in advance that one party will not perform. Repudiation is generally considered a contract breach, since one party is refusing to perform.  

In this case, Daily Bread Bakeries signed a contact with Enriched Flour, and even though Daily Bread was sold, the company that purchased it must continue with the contract. The repudiation made by Flat Bread's will most likely result in a lawsuit from Enriched Flour.

The Press has total assets of $848,000 and total debt of $402,000 on a market value basis. There are 25,000 shares of stock outs
Kaylis [27]

Answer: $17.84

Explanation:

The following can be reduced.fromcthe question:

Total Assets = $848,000

Total Debt = $402,000

Total equity = Total asset - total debt

= $848,000 - 402,000

= $446,000

Outstanding Shares = 25,000

Value per shares:

= $446,000/25,000

= $17.84

Value of shares repurchased =$40,000

Number of shares repurchased:

= $40,000/17.84

= 2,242.15

= 2242 approximately

Number of shares outstanding:

= 25,000 - 2,242

= 22,758

Value of shares outstanding:

= $446,000 - 40,000

= $406,000

Price of Shares = Value of shares/number of shares

= $406,000 / 22,758

= $17.84

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

b. The slope of the budget constraint is the same for each woman.

Explanation:

Budget Line is the combination of two goods that a consumer can buy, given prices & money income (all spent).

Equation : p1x1 + p2x2 = m ;

where p1 & p2 are price of good 1 & 2 , x1 & x2 are quantities of good 1 & good 2 , m = money income  

  • Abby's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 80
  • Bobbi's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 60
  • Deborah's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 40 [ I = Icecream, N = Novel ]  

Slope of Budget Line represents change (sacrifise) of a good needed to get change (gain) of other good, given same prices & income.

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = Px / Py

Since prices are same for each woman, price ratios & hence the slope of budget line will also be same for all of them.
