Proper Paints Company has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity with no preferred stock. Its before tax cost of debt is 8% and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The current stock price is P0 = $22. The last dividend was D0 = $2.25 and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of equity and it's WACC?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of equity = 15.74 %

WACC = 12.33 %

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost of Equity (WACC) is the return that is required by providers of Long Term source of finance. WACC assumes the Pooling of Funds Principle when it comes to financing projects.

WACC = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd

Where,

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = 0.65

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = D1 / P0 + g

    = ($2.25 × 1.05)/ $22 + 0.05

    = 15.74 %

D/V = Market Weight of Debt

       = 0.35

Kd = Cost of Debt

    =  8%  × (1 - 0.25)

    = 6 %

Therefore,

WACC = 0.65 × 15.74 % + 0.35 × 6 %

           = 12.33 %

Last year, Big W Company reported earnings per share of $2.70 when its stock was selling for $40.50. If its earnings this year increase by 10% and the P/E ratio remains constant, what will be the price of its stock?

Answers

Answer: $‭44.55‬

Explanation:

P/E ratio last year = Market price / Earnings per share

= 40.50/2.70

= 15

PE ratio remains constant.

Earnings increase by 10% = 2.70 * 1.10 = $‭2.97‬

15 = Market Price / 2.97

Market Price = 15 * 2.97

= $‭44.55‬

Paolo owns a pizza shop. The price of pizza recently increased from $3 to $5 a slice. Paolo responded by increasing the quantity of slices he supplied from 100 to 150 slices per day. By the midpoint method, Paolo's price elasticity of supply is:_______.

Answers

Answer:

Paolo's price elasticity of supply is 0.80.

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

New quantity supplied = 150

Old quantity supplied = 100

New price = $5

Old price = $3

Generally, the formula for calculating the price elasticity of supply is as follows:

Price elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price ................ (1)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity supplied = {(New quantity supplied - Old

quantity supplied) / [(New quantity supplied + Old quantity supplied) /

2]} * 100 = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} * 100 = 40%

Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old

price) / 2]} * 100 = {(5 - 3) / [(5 + 3) / 2]} * 100 = 50%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Price elasticity of supply = 40% / 50% = 0.80

Therefore, Paolo's price elasticity of supply is 0.80.

In an effort to create a healthcare safety net, the government requires employers to provide healthcare coverage to all employees. What impact will this increased coverage have on the supply of hospital beds in the short run?
a. It will decrease the supply
b. It will not affect the supply.
c. It will increase the supply.

Answers

Answer: It will decrease the supply

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that in order to create a healthcare safety net, the government requires employers to provide healthcare coverage to all employees. Due to this, there will a rise in the number of hospital beds that will be required to cover for more people.

a. 20,711.
b. 113,377.
c. 41,422.
d. 56,688.
e. 23,000.

Answers

Answer:

$19,810.54

Explanation:

Calculation for the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell to raise the $11 million it needs

First step is to calculate the price of each bond

Price of each bond =1,000 / (1+0.04)^15

Price of each bond =1,000 / (1.04)^15

Price of each bond =$555.26

Now let calculate the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell

Minimum number of bonds to sell=$11 million/$555.26

Minimum number of bonds to sell=$19,810.54

Therefore the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell to raise the $11 million it needs is

$19,810.54

A survey reveals that, on a small island, 175 people have jobs, 25 people are not working but are looking for jobs, and 90 people are neither working nor looking for work. The unemployment rate on the island is:____.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is = 12.5%

Explanation:

The 175 people that have jobs are in unemployment (employed).

The 25 people that are not working but are looking for jobs are called unemployed.

The 90 people are neither working nor looking for work for work are not counted in the employment.

Therefore, the labor force is employed people + unemployed people.

Labor force is 175 + 25= 200 people.

So, unemployment rate is:

(unemployed people ÷ labor force) x 100

(25÷200) x 100%

=12.5%

Flavor Enterprises has been approached about providing a new service to its clients.

a. $0.
b. $47.
c. $65.

= $140 - $75

= $65

The fixed cost would not be considered as it is a sunk cost

Therefore the  per hour opportunity cost is $65

Celeste transferred 100 percent of her stock in Supply Chain Company to Marketing Corporation in a Type A merger. In exchange, she received stock in Marketing with a fair market value of $562,000 + $562,000 in cash. Celeste's tax basis in the Supply Chain stock was $1,320,000. What amount of loss does Celeste recognize in the exchange and what is her basis in the Marketing stock she receives?

Answers

Answer: $196000

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to calculate the stock basis which will be the difference between the carryover Basis and the cash received. This will be:

= $1,320,000 - $562,000

= $758,000

If the sticks are being sold at $562,000, this will bring about a loss of:

= $758,000 - $562,000

= $196000

Answers

Answer: 720,100

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of building = 30600000

Avoidable interest = 604,000

Salvage value = 2400000

Useful life = 40 years

((Cost of building + Avoidable interest) - salvage value)) / 40

((30600000 + 604000) - 2400000)) / 40

= 28804000 / 40

= 720,100

What is the percentage return on a stock that was purchased for $48.40, paid a $1.67 dividend, and was then sold after one year for $46.20?
a) -1.10%
b) -2.50%
c) 0.23%
d) -0.33%

Answers

Answer:

a) -1.10%

Explanation:

To calculate the holding period return we will use the foloowinf formula

Holding Period return = ( Dividend Income + Price appreciation ) / Initial price

Where

Dividend Income = $1.67

Price appreciation = Selling Price - Initial price = $46.20 - $48.40 = -$2.20

Initial Price = $48.40

Placing the above values in the formula of Holding period return

Holding period return = ( $1.67 + ( -$2.2 ) ) / $48.40

Holding period return = ( $1.67 - $2.2 ) / $48.40

Holding period return = -$0.53 / $48.40

Holding period return = -0.01095

Holding period return = -1.095%

Holding period return = -1.10%

D) $3,000,000.
E) None of the answers is correct.

Answers

Answer:40,000,000

Explanation:

Sales margin: 7.5%

Capital turnover: 2

Invested capital: $20,000,000

The company sales revenue will be calculated thus:

Capital turnover = Sales / Invested capital

Therefore, 2 = Sales / 20,000,000

Sales = 2 × 20,000,000

Sales = 40,000,000

Therefore,the company sales revenue is 40,000,000
