Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 20% weight in equity, 10% in preferred stock, and 70% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 14%, the cost of preferred stock is 10%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 30%?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 8.21%

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC) simply put, is the rate at which a company pays those who have invested in it and financed it be it debt holders or equity holders.

The rates in question are averaged according to the proportion by which the company uses the said capital. This results in the following formula,

WACC= [(Wd*Rd) * (1-Tax) + (We * Re) +(Wp * Rp )]

Where,

Wd is the Weight of debt

We is the weight of common Equity

Wp is the weight of preferred Equity

Rd is the Pre-tax cost of debt

Re is the cost of common Equity

Rp is the cost of Preferred equity.

Note: Sometimes you will be given the After - tax cost of debt. In which case you will not need to include the tax adjustment of (1 - tax).

Calculating,

= [( 70% * 9%) * ( 1 - 30%) + (20% * 14%) + (10% * 10%) ]

= 0.0441 + 0.028 + 0.01

= 0.0821

= 8.21%

Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Answers

Answer:

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

Explanation:

The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.

The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.

The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :

To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%)         =        0

Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% )     =  119,000

Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%)                       =   34,500

Total Equivalent Units of Production                               =   153,500

The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production

                                           = $349,625 / 153,500

                                           = $2.2776872

                                           = $2.28 (2 decimal places)

Conclusion :

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

Due to the adoption of a just in time assembly line system, NWC is expected to decrease. Inventory is expected to decrease from $254600 to $143072 while accounts payable will also decrease by $26648. What is the cash flow impact for the change in net working capital to be included in the initial investment

Answers

Answer:

$84,880

Explanation:

Since there is a decrease in inventory from $254,600 to $143,072 i.e $111,528 and the account payable is also decreased by $26,648

So, there is an increase in cash flow due to the change in net working capital of

= Decrease in inventory - decrease in account payable

=  $111,528 - $26,648

= $84,880

Hence, the cash flow impact is of $84,880 i.e to be included in the initial investment

A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm

Answers

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity

assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000

liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000

both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

Answer: WACC remains constant as leverage increases.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

a. WACC first increases, then decreases as leverage increases.

b. WACC remains constant as leverage increases.

c. WACC increases continuously as leverage increases.

d. WACC decreases continually as leverage increases.

In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, the capital structure is not relevant as the way a company finances it operations does not really matter.

For the capital markets, they will be perfectly competitive and there will be no taxes, bankruptcy costs or transactions cost and investors all have the same expectations. The weighted average cost if capital will be thesame even though leverage increases.

6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government The costs of air and water pollution The variety of goods available to consumers When a U.S. company purchases and imports automotive parts from Canada to use to build cars within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of automotive parts from Canada causes in US GDP.

Answers

Answer:

The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government

The costs of air and water pollution

The variety of goods available to consumers

It increases investment spending by businesses

Decreasing net export

No change

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of the goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

Gross domestic product calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + net export + government spending

Items not included in the calculation of GDP:

1. Intermediate goods

2. Externalities e.g. pollution

3. Measures of welfare available to individuals

4. Transactions not reported to the government.

Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings are included in GDP as part of investment spending.

Purchase of automative parts would be included in GDP as part of investment spending. So investment spending would rise. Also, it would be recorded as an import and import is a negative function of GDP and thus net export would decrease . As a result, the increase in investment spending would be offset by the decrease in net export and there would be no change in GDP

On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $4,620

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $37,000

Installation= $4,000

Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.

First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.

Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000

Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced

Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000

Annual depreciation= $4,620

A firm is deciding between two different sewing machines.

None-They would have to shut down

Answers

Answer:

A. 50 units

Explanation:

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / (Selling price - Variable cost)

= $ 500 / ($ 60 - $ 50)

= $ 500/$10

= 50 units

The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product

J-Chron's board of directors periodically meets with the CFO of the company. The CFO reports on the financial status of a company project. The board asks whether the project is compliant with legally-required accounting principles, but asks no other questions about the project, such as how the project supports the company's mission and strategy. Which of the following is true? 1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders. 2. The board is fully meeting its duty of care to shareholders. 3. The board is not legally required to meet any duty of care requirements. 4. The board is not meeting its duty of care to shareholders.

Answers

Answer:

1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders.

Explanation:

During a Board of Directors meeting with CFO all conversations will be about strengthening the company and the organization's shareholders. Shareholders are also considered the entity's owners, so it is very important to comply with all the legal provisions in addition to increasing shareholders.

In this given situation, the board meets with CFO and asks in compliance with accounting standards, but asks little more about how the project aims to achieve the company's mission and strategy. Mission and plan describe the company's vision alongside the company's owners(shareholders) vision and benefits.

hence, the correct option is 1.

You have $17,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 15 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.15 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y

Answers

Answer:

For X = $7,130

For Y = $9,690

Explanation:

The calculation of investment in stock X and stock Y is shown below:-

We assume the weight of investment in stock x = x

Expected return = Weight of x × Return of x + Weight of y × Return of y

12.15 = x × 15 + (1 - x) × 10

12.15 = 15x + 10 - 10x

x = (12.15 - 10) ÷ 5

x = 43%

Investment in stock Y = 100 - 43

= 57%

Now,

Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return

= $17,000 × 43%

= $7,130

Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return

= $17,000 × 57%

= $9,690

So, we have applied the above formula.

Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,200 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was closest to:________
a. 229586
b. 234600
c. 242006
d. 236854

Answers

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $173,137.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $243,000

Estimated direct-labor hours= 8,000

Actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $30.375 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated overhead= 30.375*5,700= $173,137.5

A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system

Answers

Answer:

The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50

Explanation:

Using LIFO,last-in-first-out  method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory

value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50

A young couple is planning for the education of their two children. They plan to invest the same amount of money at the end of each of the next 16 years. The first contribution will be made at the end of the year and the final contribution will be made at the end of the year the older child enters college. The money will be invested in securities that are certain to earn a return of 8% each year. The older child will begin college in 16 years and the second child will begin college in 18 years. The parents anticipate college costs of $25,000 a year (per child). These costs must be paid at the end of each year. If each child takes four years to complete their college degrees, then how much money must the couple save each year

Answers

Answer:

The couple must save $ 6,598 each year

Explanation:

Calculating the payment amount:

Cost per year = $25,000 per each child

Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000

For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 16

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $3,298

Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 18

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $2,670

Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.

Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598

If a perpetual inventory system is in use _____. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated for each purchase and sale. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated every time a transaction or event occurs. a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually. a physical inventory count is required because the Inventory account is not updated when inventory is purchased or sold.

Answers

Answer:  a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually

Explanation: That an inventory is perpetual does not discount the need for taking physical inventory at least once a year. This is important because it helps in the identification of shrinkage or shortages and to also test the accuracy of the perpetual records under use. Now, a perpetual inventory is a kind of inventory that tracks and records continuously, items as they are added to or subtracted from the inventory thus keeping it updated and aids in keeping the track of the cost of goods bought and sold.

Explanation:

Profit = Return on Investment (%) × assets\

Profit = 25% × 700,000 = 175,000

Total variable cost = (4.60+ 1.88+ 1.13+ 4.50 )× 60,000= 726600

Total cost = Total variable cost + total fixed cost

                  =  726600  + 38,700+ 7,500= 772800

Mark-up = profit/cost × 100

              = 175,000/726,600 × 100 = 22.64%

Mark-up =22.64%

The 6.3 percent, semi-annual coupon bonds of PE Engineers mature in 13 years and have a price quote of 99.2. These bonds have a current yield of ________ percent, a yield to maturity of ________ percent, and an effective annual yield of ________ percent.

Answers

Answer:

Current yield is 6.35%

YTM is 6.40%

Effective annual yield is 6.50%

Explanation:

Current yield =coupon amount/price=6.3%*$1000/$1000*99.2%=6.35%

Yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate formula as below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon payments of the bond which is 13*2

pmt is the annual coupon=6.3%*$1000=$63/2=$31.5

pv is the current price=99.2%*$1000=$992

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(13*2,31.5,-992,1000)=3.20%

Semiannual yield =3.20%

annual yield=3.20%*2=6.40%

effective annual yield=(1+YTM/2)^2-1

effective annual yield=(1+6.40%/2)^2-1=6.50%

Lipman Auto Parts, a family-owned auto parts store, began January with $10,300.00 in cash. Management forecasts that collections from credit customers will be $11,400.00 in January and $14,800.00 in February. The store is scheduled to receive $5,000.00 in cash on a business note receivable in January. Projected cash payments include inventory purchases ($13,000.00 in January and $13,600.00 in February) and operating expenses ($2,700.00 each month). Lipman Auto Parts’ bank requires a $10,000.00 minimum balance in the store’s checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance dips below $10,000.00, the bank automatically extends credit to the store in multiples of $1,000.00. Lipman Auto Parts borrows as little as possible and pays back loans in quarterly installments of $2,000.00, plus 4 percent interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs three months after the loan.

Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Activity-based overhead rates
Designing $ per designer hour
Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour
Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour
Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit

Answers

Answer:

Designing =  $32.50 per designer hour

Sizing and cutting =  $23.50 per machine hour

Stitching and trimming =  $18.85 per labor hour

Wrapping and packing = $11.10 per finished unit

Explanation:

The Activity Based Overhead Costing involves calculation of cost driver rate for each activity center.

Cost Driver Rate = Cost of Activity / Number of Times that Activity is Performed

Designing = $455,000 / 14,000

                 = $32.50

Sizing and cutting = $3,948,000 / 168,000

                              = $23.50

Stitching and trimming = $1,479,725 / 78,500

                                      = $18.85

Wrapping and packing = $333,000 / 30,000

                                      = $11.10

You own a farm, you hire labor and capital to produce apples. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 15 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 45. The market wage for labor is $8. If you are using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is

Answers

Answer:

$24

Explanation:

We can say the Optimal combination of inputs can be expressed as the ratio of marginal productivity of labor to the marginal productivity of capital is equal to the ratio of price of labor(wage) to the price of capital(RENT).

Lets denote:

marginal productivity of labor = MPL

marginal productivity of capital = MPC  

Wage= W

Rent= R

Then the formula will be

[tex]\frac{MPL}{MPC}=\frac{W}{R}[/tex]

Workings:

Lets put in the values in the formula

[tex]\frac{15}{45} = \frac{8}{R}[/tex]

We have to find out R(Rent)

R= 8x3

R= $24

An asset was acquired on September 30, 2021, for $104,000 with an estimated five-year life and $25,000 residual value. The company uses double-declining-balance depreciation. Calculate the gain or loss if the asset was sold on December 31, 2022, for $54,000. Partial-year depreciation is to be calculated.

Answers

Answer:

There is a loss on disposal of $80

Explanation:

The double declining rate method of depreciation is an accelerated form of charging depreciation on an asset. It charges higher depreciation in the earlier years and lower depreciation in the later years of the useful life of the asset. the formula for double declining balance depreciation per year is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [ (Cost - Accumulated depreciation) / estimated useful life of the asset ]

The depreciation expense per year on this asset is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [(104000 - 0) / 5]

Depreciation expense for the 1 year(2021) = $41600

As the asset was purchased in September, we will charge a depreciation expense of 4 months.

Depreciation expense for 2021 = 31600 * 4/12   = $13866.67

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021 = $13866.67

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = 2 * [(104000 - 13866.67) / 5]

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = $36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = 13866.67 + 36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = $49920

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we need to determine the Net Book value of the asset at the end of 2022 and compare it with the cash received from the sale. If the cash received is more than the Net Book Value, there is a gain on disposal and if the cash received is less than the Net Book Value, there is a loss on disposal.

Net Book value at the end of 2022 = 104000 - 49920   = $54080

Loss on disposal = 54000 - 54080  =  - $80 (loss on disposal)

The loss on the sale of the asset is $2,160.

There would be a loss on the sale of the asset is the book value of the asset is greater than the selling price of the asset.

Depreciation is a method used to reduce the carrying value of an asset.

Double declining depreciation = (2/ useful life) x cost of the asset

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (2/5) x $104,000 = $41,600

3/12 x  $41,600 = $10,400

Book value in 2021 = $104,000 - $10,400 = $93,600

Depreciation expense in 2022 = (2/5) x $93,600 = $37,440

Book value in 2022 =  $93,600 - $37,440 = $56,160

Loss = $56,160 - $54,000.= $2,160

Unrealized gain on AFS securities           $85,000

Comprehensive income                          $272,500

Explanation:

In order to prepare a statement of comprehensive income we first need to determine net income after taxes = $250,000 x (1 - 25%) = $187,500

Unrealized gains or losses are not taxed until they are actually realized (either make profit or lose money).
