SIROM Scientific Solutions has $10 million of outstanding equity and $5 million of bank debt. The bank debt costs 5% per year. The estimated equity beta is 2. If the market risk premium is 9% and the risk-free rate is 3%, compute the weighted average cost of capital if the firm’s tax rate is 30%.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

15.167%

Explanation:

For computing the WACC we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium  

= 3% + 2 × 9%

= 21%  

After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt ×  (1-Tax Rate)

= 5% × (1 - 0.30)

= 3.50%

Now

WACC = Weight of debt ×  Cost of debt + Weight of equity × Cost of equity

= 5 ÷ 15 × 3.50 + 10 ÷ 15 × 21

= 1.167% + 14%

= 15.167%

Consider two products, X and Y, that have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season (the summer months from May through August). The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product X is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year and the leftover inventory will be salvaged at 75 percent of the cost. Product Y will be reoffered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each unit left over equal to 20 percent of the product's cost. The quantity of each product is selected to maximize expected profit. How do those quantities compare?

Answers

Answer: b. stocking quantity of product B is higher.

Explanation:

We are using the Newsvendor model and are told that the products have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season.

Using this model, it is important to understand 2 terminologies for this question, Overage cost and Underage costs.

Overage Costs is the cost of unused inventor and is calculated by subtracting Salvage Value from the cost price.

Underage costs are costs arising from unmet Demand. In this scenario they are the same because both products share the same demand.

The Overage costs for the products are,

Overage cost for Product X =100-75

=25%

Overage cost for Product Y = 20%

When deciding which product to stick more of we look at the one with the higher CRITICAL RATIO.

The formula of which is,

= Cu/(Cu+Co)

Where,

Cu is the Underage cost,

Co is the Overage cost

As earlier mentioned, both have the same Underage cost meaning that B will give a higher CRITICAL ratio as it's Co is smaller.

Product B should therefore be stocked more than Product A.

Answer:

Stocking quantity of product B is higher

Explanation:

Overage cost for Product A(Co)=100-75=25%

Overage cost for Product B (Co)=20%

The underage cost (Cu) for both the products is same hence critical ratio i.e, Cu/(Cu+Co) is lower for product A than Product B which means product B should will be stocked more compare to product A

So the correct answer will be stocking quantity of product B is higher

Young Pharmaceuticals is considering a drug project that costs $2.42 million today and is expected to generate end-of-year annual cash flows of $211,000 forever. At what discount rate would the company be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project?

Answers

Answer:

At 8.72% the company would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project

Explanation:

To be indifferent to accepting or rejecting the project, the initial cost of the project should equal the present value of all expected cash inflow to the project i.e. the Break-even point which is the point at which revenue = cost, thereby generating zero profit.

From the question, Young Pharmaceuticals is investing $2.42 million and expects an annual year end cash flow of $211,000 forever. We therefore apply the annuity to perpetuity formula

PV of perpetuity = Periodic cashflow/interest rate

cross multiply and make Interest the subject of the formular

= Interest = Periodic cashflow/PV of perpetuity

i = 211000/2420000

= 0.0872

= 8.72%
