The firm has 8 percent, 12-year bonds outstanding with a total face value of $400,000. The bonds are currently quoted at 101.2 percent of face and pay interest semiannually. What is the capital structure weight of the firm's debt if the tax rate is 35 percent

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

E = 74.27%

Preferred = 8.10%

Debt = 17.63%

Explanation:

We are asked for the structure weight.

Equity 55,000 shares x  31 = 1,705,000

Preferred stock 3,000 x 62 =   186,000

Debt    400,000 x 101.2/100 = 404,800

                                                                 

Value of the Firm                  2,295,800‬  

Now we divide each component by the value of the firm.

Equity weight 1,705,000/2,295,800 = 0,742660 = 74.27%

Preferred stock 186,000 / 2,295,800 = 0,081017 = 8.10%

Debt 404,800/ 2,295,800 = 0,17632197 = 17.63%

c)

total interest expense year 2007:

($37,533.97/2) + $37,810.67 + ($38,101.20/2) = $18,776.99 + $37,810.67 + $19,050.60 = $75,638.26

Explanation:

the market price of the bonds:

$800,000 / 1.05¹⁰ = $491,130.60

$32,000 x 8.1109 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods) = $259,548.80

market price = $750,679.40

discount on bonds payable $49,320.60

discount amortization first payment = (750,679.40 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,533.97

discount amortization second payment = (756,213.37 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,810.67

discount amortization third payment = (762,024.04 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,101.20

discount amortization fourth payment = (768,125.24 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,406.26

Final answer:

The interest income and discount amortized are calculated based on the effective-interest method. The adjusting entry debits Bond Interest Expense and credits Discount on Bonds Payable. The income statement reports the interest expense as the sum of cash paid and discount amortized.

Explanation:

The interest on Logan Corporation's bonds is paid semi-annually, therefore the interest periods will be six months. The effective-interest method is used to amortize the premium or discount on these bonds, and it calculates interest expense based on the market rate and the outstanding balance of the bond.

  1. For October 1, 2006, Logan Corporation issued $800,000 of 8% bonds. However, they were sold to yield 10% effective interest, which is annual, for six months this is 5% (10%/2). So, the interest income for the first period will be $800,000×5%=$40,000.

  2. With actual cash received being $800,000×8%/2 = $32,000. The difference between the interest income and the cash received is the discount amortized.

  3. For April 1, 2007, the carrying value of the bond will be the face value subtract the discount amortized. The remaining steps are essentially a repetition of the first period until October 1, 2007.

  4. For adjusting entry on December 31, 2007, debit the Bond Interest Expense for the total discount amortized and credit Discount on Bonds Payable.

  5. The interest expense on the income statement is the Bond Interest Expense, which includes both the cash paid and the discount amortized.

The Foxmoor Company produces three products, X, Y, and Z, from a single raw material input. Product Y can be sold at the split-off point for total revenues of $63,000 or it can be processed further at a total cost of $36,000 and then sold for $108,000. Product Y: Multiple Choice
Should be sold at the split-off point, rather than processed further.
Would increase the company's overall net income by $45,000 if processed further and then sold.
Would increase the company's overall net income by $108,000 if processed further and then sold.
Would increase the company's overall net income by $9,000 if processed further and then sold.

Answers

Answer: Would increase the company's overall net income by $9,000 if processed further and then sold.

Explanation:

The Revenue if sold at the split-off point is $63,000.

But if processed further, we can realize revenue of,

= $108,000 - 36,000

= $72,000

To find out the revenue difference then we will subtract the alternatives.

= $72,000 - 63,000

= $9,000

$9,000 extra will be gained if we process further as opposed to selling at the Split-off point. This shows that Option D or the last option is correct.

No Fly Corporation sells three different models of a mosquito "zapper." Model A12 sells for $55 and has variable costs of $40. Model B22 sells for $107 and has variable costs of $79. Model C124 sells for $414 and has variable costs of $307. The sales mix of the three models is A12, 55%; B22, 29%; and C124, 16%. What is the weighted-average unit contribution margin

Answers

Answer:

The weighted-average unit contribution margin is $33.49 per unit

Explanation:

We know that,

Weighted average Contribution margin per unit = (Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit) × sales mix

For A12 = ($55 - $40) × 55% = $8.25

For B22 = ($107- $79) × 29% = $8.12

For C124 = ($414 - $307) × 16% = $17.12

So, the total would be equal to

= $8.25 + $8.12 + $17.12

= $33.49 per unit

On July 1, a company receives an invoice for $800 with the terms 1/10, net 30. On July 15, the payment should be $692 $790 $792 $800 $808

Answers

The payment to be received on July 15 should be equivalent to $800.

What are payments?

The amount received for the purpose served or promised to be served by a seller is known as a payment. Generally, discounts are offered for making early payments.

The discount offered for a period of 30 days cannot be redeemed for payment done within 15 days.

Thus, option D holds true that the payment of $800 shall be received on July 15.

brainly.com/question/15138283

#SPJ2

Final answer:

The terms 1/10, net 30, mean that the company is offered a 1% discount if they pay within 10 days. If they pay after this period, they have to pay the full amount. In this scenario, the payment on July 15 should be $800.

Explanation:

The invoice terms 1/10, net 30 mean that the company is offered a 1% discount if they pay the invoice within 10 days. After 10 days, the full invoice amount is due within 30 days. On July 1, the company receives an invoice for $800. If the company pays by July 10, they would only need to pay $792 ($800 - 1% of $800). If they wait until July 15, past the discount period, they will have to pay the full $800. Therefore the answer is $800.

$4 379 83
54 739 95
$5.076.55

Answers

Answer: $4,379.83

Explanation:

Given the following details:

Periodic payment = $550

Interest rate = 11%

Number of periods = 20 years

Present Value (PV) = P[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

P = periodic payment = $550

r = Interest rate = 11% = 0.11

n = number of periods = 20

PV = 550[(1 - (1 + 0.11)^-20) / 0.11]

PV = 550[(1 - (1.11)^-20) / 0.11]

PV = 550[(1 - 0.1240339) / 0.11]

PV = 550[0.8759660 / 0.11]

PV = 550(7.9633281)

PV = 4379.8304

PV = 4379.83
