Answer:
It is unethical for the CFO to record the additional $75,000 without receipts and supporting documents

Answer:
a) 5.45%
b) 6.98%
Explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 0.8%
Standard Deviation, σ = 2%
We are given that the distribution of profit is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:
a) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.99
P(X < x)
Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,
Thus, 5.45% of assets does the company need to be 99% sure that it will have a positive equity at the end of the year.
b) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.999
P(X < x)
Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,
Thus, 6.98% of assets does the company need to be 99% sure that it will have a positive equity at the end of the year.

Answer:
d
Explanation:
Answer:
$2 million or $2,000,000
Explanation:
The computation of the revenue and gross profit or loss will appear in the company’s income statement in the first year is shown below:
= revenue recognized - cost incurred
The Total cost is
= $6 + $9
= $15
And, the revenue recognized is
= $6 ÷ $15 × $20
= $8
So, the gross profit is
= $8 - $6
= $2
hence, the gross profit is $2 million
WACC Estimation
The table below gives the balance sheet for Travellers Inn Inc. (TII), a company that was formed by merging a number of regional motel chains.
Travellers Inn: December 31, 2012 (Millions of Dollars)
Cash $10 Accounts payable $10
Accounts receivable 20 Accruals 10
Inventories 20 Short-term debt 5
Current assets $50 Current liabilities $25
Net fixed assets 50 Long-term debt 30
Preferred stock 5
Common equity
Common stock $10
Retained earnings 30
Total common equity $40
Total assets $100 Total liabilities and equity $100
The following facts also apply to TII:
1. Short-term debt consists of bank loans that currently cost 8%, with interest payable quarterly. These loans are used to finance receivables and inventories on a seasonal basis, bank loans are zero in the off-season.
2. The long-term debt consists of 30-year, semiannual payment mortgage bonds with a coupon rate of 8%. Currently, these bonds provide a yield to investors of rd= 12%. If new bonds were sold, they would have a 12% yield to maturity.
3. TII's perpetual preferred stock has a $100 par value, pays a quarterly dividend of $2.50, and has a yield to investors of 11%. New perpetual preferred would have to provide the same yield to investors, and the company would incur a 3% flotation cost to sell it.
4. The company has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. P0 = $20, but the stock has recently traded in price the range from $17 to $23. D0 = $1 and EPS0 = $2. ROE based on average equity was 26% in 2008, but management expects to increase this return on equity to 31%; however, security analysts and investors generally are not aware of management's optimism in this regard.
5. Betas, as reported by security analysts, range from 1.3 to 1.7; the T-bond rate is 10%; and RPM is estimated by various brokerage houses to be in the range from 4.5% to 5.5%. Some brokerage house analysts reports forecast dividend growth rates in the range of 10% to 15% over the foreseeable future.
6. TII's financial vice president recently polled some pension fund investment managers who hold TII's securities regarding what minimum rate of return on TII's common would make them willing to buy the common rather than TII bonds, given that the bonds yielded 12%. The responses suggested a risk premium over TII bonds of 4 to 6 percentage points.
7. TII is in the 35% federal-plus-state tax bracket.
8. TII's principal investment banker predicts a decline in interest rates, with rd falling to 10% and the T-bond rate to 6%, although the bank acknowledges that an increase in the expected inflation rate could lead to an increase rather than a decrease in interest rates.
Assume that you were recently hired by TII as a financial analyst and that your boss, the treasurer, has asked you to estimate the company's WACC under the assumption that no new equity will be issued. Your cost of capital should be appropriate for use in evaluating projects that are in the same risk class as the assets TII now operates. Do not round intermediate steps. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:
Explanation:
(1) Cost of short-term debt after tax : 8% ( 1 – tax rate)
= 8% ( 1 – 35%)
= 8% (65%)
= 5.2%
Market value of Short term debt ( in million $) = 5
(2) Cost of long-term debt after tax: 8% ( 1 – tax rate)
= 8% ( 1 – 35%)
= 8% (65%)
= 5.2%
Market value of long term debt ( in $ million) = ( par value of Debt * coupon rate) / Yield
= (30 * 8%) / 12%
= 2.4 / 12%
= 20
(3) Market price of preferred stock = annual Dividend / Yield to investor
= ($2.50*4) / 0.11
= $ 10 / 0.11
= $ 90.909
Cost of new preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current market price – floatation cost
= ($2.50*4) / $ 90.909 – ( 3% * $ 90.909)
= $ 10 / $ 90.909 – $ 2.727
= $ 10 / $ 88.182
= 0.1134
= 11.34%
Market value of Preferred stock ($ millions) = Par value of Preferred * Annual Dividend rate / Yield
= 5 * ( $ 10 / $ 100) / 0.11
= 5 * 0.1 / 0.11
= 0.5 / 0.11
= 4.545454
(4) Market value of Common stock ($ millions) = No of common stock outstanding * Current market price
= 4 * 20
= 80
Retention ratio = (1 – dividend pay-out ratio)
= (1 – $1 / $ 2)
= (1 – 0.5)
= 0.5
= 50%
Growth rate = return on equity * retention ratio
= 26% * 0.5
= 13%
Cost of common stock (Alternative 1) = (Dividend for next year / Current market price) + growth rate
= [1 ( 1+ 0.13) / 20 ] + 13%
= [1 ( 1.13) / 20 ] + 13%
= [1.13 / 20 ] + 13%
= 5.65% + 13%
= 18.65%
Cost of common stock (alternative 2) = Risk free rate + Beta (Market risk premium)
= 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]
= 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]
= 10% + (1.5)( 5%)
=10% + 7.5%
= 17.5%
Cost of Common stock (Alternative 3) = Yield on TII Bond + Average Risk premium
= 12% + (4% + 6%) / 2
= 12% + (10%) / 2
= 12% + 5%
= 17%
Cost of common stock = Highest of Alternative 1, Alternative 2 & Alternative 3
= Highest of (18.65%, 17.5% and 17%)
= 18.65%
Answer : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC) of Company is 15.28% (take a look to the document attached)
Answer:
Answer is explained in the attachment.
Explanation:
Answer:
$2,000,000
Explanation:
Menesuah incorporation has a projected cash flow of $100,000
FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6%
The weighted average cost of capital is 11%
Therefore the value of its operation can be calculated as follows
= 100,000/(11/100-6/100)
= 100,000/0.11-0.06
= 100,000/0.05
= $2,000,000
Hence the value of its operation is $2,000,000
