Answer:
1. What are eamings per share (EPS)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 32.16.)
Answer: $ 1.31 / share
2. What is the price-eamings ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: 35.11
Explanation:
Earning Per Share (EPS) = Net Income - Preferred dividends / Outstanding Number of Share
Earning Per Share (EPS) = $6,800,000 - 0 / 5,200,000 shares
Earning Per Share (EPS) = $6,800,000 / 5,200,000 shares
Earning Per Share (EPS) = $1.31 / share
Price earning ratio = Share price / Earning per share
Price earning ratio = $46 per share / $1.31 per share
Price earning ratio = $46 / $1.31
Price earning ratio = 35.11
Answer:
Given this change in the cost, the adequacy and quality of the estimated cost drivers and costs used by the system will determine the costing results for SR6 under the new system.
Explanation:
A cost driver can be described as the unit of an activity or any factor that makes the cost of an activity to fluctuate. An estimated cost driver is adequate and of the expected quality when quality or quantity is satisfactory or acceptable.
Therefore, given this change in the cost, the adequacy and quality of the estimated cost drivers and costs used by the system will determine the costing results for SR6 under the new system.
Cannady has transitioned from a traditional to an Activity-Based Costing system, which uses three cost drivers. As a result, the cost of manufacturing SR6 rose from $168 to $178 per unit due to the more accurately distributed costs.
In this context, Cannady's move from a traditional cost system using a single cost driver to an Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system that uses three cost drivers resulted in a change in the unit cost of their SR6 product. The new price reflects a more accurate calculation of the costs incurred in producing SR6.
In a traditional cost system, overhead costs are simply divided by the total number of units produced using one cost driver. With the ABC system, costs are allocated based on the actual activities that consume resources, making the costs more accurate. Therefore, the unit cost of SR6 increased from $168.00 to $178.00 under the new system as the costs were more accurately allocated under the ABC system.

Answer:
raw material inventory turnover = 4.42
number of days sale in raw materials inventory = 21.97
Explanation:
given data
beginning inventory = $930 million
ending inventory = $880 million
purchased raw materials = $3,956 million
used raw materials = $4,006 million
solution
we get here first raw material inventory for turnover that is
raw material inventory turnover = ..............1
here average raw material inventory =
average raw material inventory = $905 million
so from equation 1
raw material inventory turnover =
raw material inventory turnover = 4.42
and
now number of days' sales in raw materials inventory will be as
number of days sale in raw materials inventory = × 365 .............2
put here value
number of days sale in raw materials inventory = × 365
number of days sale in raw materials inventory = 21.97
Answer: Problem detection
Explanation: Problem detection is used in R&D, it is a techniques that asks consumers who are familiar with the product or service to ponder upon an exhaustive list of things that bothers them while using the product.
This is done to find the ideas to make creative strategies and improvements in product/service.
Problem Detection approach identifies and prioritizes the most pressing consumer concerns so that the brand they are associated with can address unmet needs that exist in the marketplace.
During the period, customer balances are written off in the amount of $10,000.
At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $8,000.
Answer: Please see the analysis below
Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects
Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense
Write-off of $10,000 - - Nil Nil Nil
Bad debt of $8,000 - + - - +
Answer:
Assets =Liabilities + Stockholders Equity
-8000= - 8000
Explanation:
Allowance for Doubtful Debts $10,000
Bad debt expense $8,000
Assets =Liabilities + Stockholders Equity
-8000= - 8000
The write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivable. Neither total assets nor net income is affected by the write off a specific account.Instead both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.
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%
