Consider a firm with a contract to sell an asset for $138,000 five years from now. the asset costs $74,000 to produce today. given a relevant discount rate on this asset of 12 percent per year, calculate the profit the firm will make on this asset.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The cost to produce today = 74000

At a discount of 12%, the future value of costs in 5 years = PV*(1+r)^n where PV = 74000, r= 12% = 0.12 and n = 5 years = 5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*(1+0.12)^5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*1.12^5

The value of costs in 5 years 130,413.28

Price in 5 years = 138,000

Profit = 138,000-130,413.28 =  7,586.72

The profit the firm will make on this asset (considering time value of money) = $7,586.72

Wentworth's Five and Dime Store has a cost of equity of 11.4 percent. The company has an aftertax cost of debt of 5 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. If the company's debt–equity ratio is .74, what is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 6.66%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  +  (We×Ke)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 5%

Ke-Cost of equity = 11.4%

Wd-Weight f debt -74%

We-Weight of equity = 26%

WACC = (0.74× 5%)  + (0.26 × 11.4%) = 6.66%

WACC = 6.66%

You buy one Home Depot June 60 call contract and one June 60 put contract. The call premium is $5 and the put premium is $3. Your maximum loss from this position could be a. $300. b. $800. c. None of the options are correct. d. $200. $500.

Answers

Answer:

b. $800

Explanation:

The calculation of maximum loss from this position is shown below:-

Maximum Loss from this position = (Assume figure × Call premium) + (Assume figure × Put premium)

= (100 × $5) + (100 × $3)

= $500 + $300

= $800

Therefore for computing the maximum loss from this position we simply applied the above formula.

Jack Corporation purchased a 20% interest in Jill Corporation for $1,780,000 on January 1, 2018. Jack can significantly influence Jill.

What amount of loss should Jack report in its income statement for 2018 relative to its investment in Jill?

Answers

Answer:

$1,560,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of loss related to the investment is shown below:

= Net loss × interest percentage + dividend paid ×  interest percentage

= $5,400,000 × 20% + $2,400,000 × 20%

= $1,080,000 + $480,000

= $1,560,000

Stevenson Company purchased equipment for $250,000 on January 1, 2010. The estimated salvage value is $50,000, and the estimated useful life is 5 years. The straight-line method is used for depreciation. On July 1, 2013 Stevenson sold the equipment for $100,000. The journal entry to record the sale of the equipment will include.

Answers

Answer: The following journal entries would be recorded upon disposal of the equipment:

                                                                              Debit                       Credit

Cash                                                                   $100,000

Accumulated depreciation                               $140,000

Equipment                                                                                        $250,000

Loss on disposal of asset                                   $10,000

Explanation: Using the straight-line method of depreciation, the following formula applies: (Historical cost - Salvage value) / No of years

Depreciation = ($250,000 - $50,000) / 5 years = $40,000 yearly

Accumulated depreciation (January 1, 2010 - July 1, 2013) for three and half years is $140,000 (3.5 years * $40,000). This means that the equipment had a net book value (NBV) of $110,000 as at the time of disposal. So, the above entries would eliminate the asset in the books and recognise the loss on disposal (sales proceed was less than the NBV).
