Answer:
a. Cost of debt = 4.56%
b. Cost of equity = 10.23%
c. WACC = 8.46%
Explanation:
a. What is the company’s cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate ) = 6% * (100% - 24%) = 4.56%
b. What is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + (Beta * (Market rate - Risk free rate)) = 3.3% + (0.90 * (11% - 3.3%)) = 10.23%
c. What is the company’s weighted average cost of capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
WACC = (Cost of debt * Debt to total assets ratio) + (Cost of equity * Equity to total assets ratio) ………… (1)
Equity = Total assets - Debt
Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = 0.60
0.60 = Debt / (Total assets - Debt)
0.60 * (Total assets - Debt) = Debt
0.60Total assets - 0.60Debt = Debt
0.60Total assets = Debt + 0.60Debt
0.60Total assets = (1 + 0.60)Debt
0.60Total assets = 1.60Debt
Debt / Total assets = 0.50 / 1.60 = 0.3125
Equity to total assets ratio = 1 - Debt to total assets = 1 - 0.3125 = 0.6875
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
WACC = (4.56% * 0.3125) + (10.23%* 0.6875) = 8.46%

a stock analyst wants to use a dividend pricing model to value stock. the analyst believes will pay its first dividend in exactly 15 years, and she is guessing that the dividend will be $10.00 per share at that time. the analyst assumes that dividends will grow by 5% per year going forward after year 15. the required return to hold is estimated to be 12% per year. based on these assumptions, what is the intrinsic value of stock today
Answer:
P0 = $27.4044 rounded off to $27.40
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
To calculate the price of the stock today, we firsts need to calculate the price of the stock in year 15 and discount it back to today's value.
As we can see that to calculate the price of the stock today, we use dividend that is expected for the next period or Year 1. Thus to calculate the price of the stock in Year 15, we will use the dividend that will be expected in Year 16.
P15 = D15 * (1+g) / (r - g)
P15 = 10 * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05)
P15 = $150 per share
To calculate the price of this stock today, we must discount the Year 15 price to today's price.
P0 = P15 / (1+r)^15
P0 = 150 / (1+0.12)^15
P0 = $27.4044 rounded off to $27.40

Sales $ 79,000 $ 65,000 $ 61,000 $ 57,000 $ 50,000 Cost of goods sold 75,900 50,100 49,800 40,200 30,000 Dollar amounts stated are in thousands. a. Compute trend percentages for the above items taken from the financial statements of Lopez Plumbing over a five-year period. Treat 2017 as the base year. b. State whether the trends are favorable or unfavorable.
Answer:
This is a two part question and the answer is given in two separate headings.
Explanation:
Trend Percentages
Year 2021 2020 2019 2018
Sales* 58% 30% 22% 14%
Cost of Goods Sold** 153% 67% 66% 34%
*Sales is calculated by dividing the difference (between current Sales and Base Sales Year) by the Base Sale Year 2017 * 100. Example for 2018 the percentage is 14% [(57,000 - 50,000) / 50,000 * 100]. The same way other years have been calculated.
**Cost of Goods Sold has been calculated by dividing the difference (between current Cost of Goods Sold and Base Year Cost of Goods Sold) by the Base Year Cost of Goods Sold 2017 * 100. Example for 2018 the percentage is 14% [(40,200 - 30,000) / 30,000 * 100]. The same way other years have been calculated.
Trends Favourable or Unfavourable
It is noted that the trend is unfavourable for the five-year period. This is because the sales have been increasing but in comparison to the Cost of Goods Sold the rise is fairly slow. As shown in the above table where sales have increased by only 58% since its inception. However, the Cost of Goods Sold has increased rapidly and by the last trending year the rise in comparison to the base year 2017 was by 153%.
On April 30, 2019, Macy Products purchased machinery for $132,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 5 years, with a $32,000 residual value. The company uses the double-declining-balance method. Depreciation expense for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020 will be:
Answer:
$38,720
Explanation:
Depreciation Expense = 2 x SLDP X BVSLDP
where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ number of useful life
= 100 ÷ 5
= 20 %
2019
Annual Depreciation Expense = 2 x 20 % x $132,000
= $52,800
But, depreciation expired for only 8 months from April 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 during the year, therefore
Depreciation Expense = $52,800 x 8/12 = $35,200
2020
Annual Depreciation Expense = 2 x 20 % x ($132,000 - $35,200)
= $38,720
Conclusion :
Depreciation expense for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020 will be $38,720

Technoid Inc. sells computer systems. Technoid leases computers to Lone Star Company on January 1, 2018. The manufacturing cost of the computers was $130,000. This noncancelable lease had the following terms: Lease payments: $23,000 semiannually; first payment at January 1, 2018; remaining payments at June 30 and December 31 each year through June 30, 2022. Lease term: five years (10 semiannual payments). No residual value; no purchase option. Economic life of equipment: five years. Implicit interest rate and lessee's incremental borrowing rate: 5% semiannually. What is the outstanding balance of the lease liability in Lone Star's December 31, 2018, balance sheet
Answer:
$89,350
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the outstanding balance of the lease liability in Lone Star's December 31, 2018, balance sheet
First step is to calculate the Balance after first payment
Initial lease liability $130,000
Less: First payment $23,000
Balance after first payment $107,000
Second step is to calculate the Interest expense for June 30,2021
Interest expense for June 30,2021= $107,000*5%
Interest expense for June 30,2021=$5,350
Third step is to calculate the Principal payment for June 30,2021
Principal payment for June 30,2021=$23,000-$5,350
Principal payment for June 30,2021=$17,650
Now let calculate the Outstanding balance on June
Balance after first payment. $107,000
Less: Principal payment for June $17,650
Outstanding balance on June $89,350
Therefore the outstanding balance of the lease liability in Lone Star's December 31, 2018, balance sheet is $89,350

One of the required structural changes that must be made immediately at Holden Evan to deal with the problems caused by the three SBU marketing teams is:
Merge the three marketing teams of each SBU into a single marketing division serving all product lines.
Explanation:
The marketing department is not a product-based team. Therefore, a marketing team should not be tied to just one SBU. The SBU structure can be continued. But the combination of the marketing teams into a single group creates synergy, avoids effort duplication, reduces competitiveness among the various teams, and above all, helping the group' brand managers to utilize accumulated resources, knowledge,and information of the entire marketing organization for the benefit of the different SBUs.
During March, Hanks Manufacturing started and completed 30,000 units. In beginning work in process, there were 5,000 units 60 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. In EWIP there were 10,000 units 40 percent complete for conversion costs. Using FIFO, the equivalent units of materials and conversion costs are, respectively:
Answer:
Equivalent units
Materials= 40,000 units
Conversion= 36,000 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Conversion cost
Item equivalent units
Opening inventory 40% × 5,000 = 2,000
Fully worked units 100% × 30,000= 30,000
Closing inventory 40%× 10,000= 4,000
Total equivalent unit 36,000
Notes
The following notes explains the computation of the items of equivalent unit for conversion cost:
1. DOC for opening inventory is 40% i.e 100%-60%. Remember that 60% work has been done in the previous period, so the balance is to be done in this current period
2. Fully work represent the units of inventory introduced in the current period and completed in the same period. Meaning 100% work was achieved in the period.
3. Closing work is only 40% completed. This represent work started this period but not yet completed.
Material cost
Item equivalent units
Opening inventory 0% × 5,000 = 0
Fully worked units 100% × 30,000= 30,000
Closing inventory 100%× 10,000= 10,000
Total equivalent unit 40,000
Notes
The following notes explains the computation of the items of equivalent unit for Material cost:
1. DOC for opening inventory is 0% i.e 100%-1000%. Remember that materials are added at the beginning. Hence all the materials required for the opening inventory had been added in the previous period
2. Fully work represent the units of inventory introduced in the current period and completed in the same period. Meaning 100% materials was added in the period.
3. All the materials required for the closing inventory were added in this period, hence, 100% degree of completion was used
Equivalent units
Materials= 40,000 units
Conversion= 36,000 units
Flash ECard Manufacturing manufactures software parts for the computer software systems that produce ecards. The Flash II part is currently manufactured in the Computer Department. The Data Department also produces the part and the plant has excess capacity to produce the Flash II part. The current market price of the Flash II part is $700. The managerial accountant reported the following manufacturing costs and variable expense data: Flash ECard Manufacturing Manufacturing Costs and Variable Expense Report Flash Component Direct materials $810 Direct labor $160 Variable manufacturing overhead $140 Fixed manufacturing overhead (current production level) $185 Variable selling expenses (only incurred on sales to outside consumers) $136 If the highest acceptable transfer price is $700 in the market, what is the lowest acceptable inhouse price the Data Department should receive to produce the part inhouse at the Computer Department? "810"
Answer:
the lowest acceptable inhouse price the Data Department is $1,110
Explanation:
The computation of the lowest acceptable inhouse price the Data Department is shown below:
= Direct materials + direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $810 + $160 + $140
= $1,110
Hence, the lowest acceptable inhouse price the Data Department is $1,110
The above formula should be applied for determining the lowest acceptable inhouse price is as follows:
Your broker requires an initial margin of $6,100 per futures contract on wheat and a maintenance margin of $4,400 per contract. Wheat futures contracts are based on 5,000 bushels and quoted in cents per bushel. You sold one wheat futures contract yesterday at the closing settlement price quote of 780. Today, the settlement quote is 802. Will you receive a margin call and if so, for what amount? All margin calls restore the margin level to its initial level.
Answer: No margin call
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the new margin will be calculated as:
= Initial margin + (Sales - Settlement quote)/100 × Size
= 6100 + [(780 - 802)/100 × 5000]
= 6100 + (-22 × 5000)
= 6100 - 1100
= 5000
Since we've our new margin as 5000 while the maintenance margin is 4400, then there'll be no margin call once new margin is higher.
g 10. Problems and Applications Q10 Expansionary fiscal policy is more likely to lead to a short-run increase in investment when the investment accelerator is . True or False: Expansionary fiscal policy is more likely to lead to a short-run increase in investment when the interest rate sensitivity of investment is large than when it is small. True False
Answer:
1. True
2. True
Explanation:
An expansionary gap, also known as the inflationary gap in economics is used to measure the difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and the current level of real Gross Domestic Products that exists when a country's economy is guaged at a full employment rate. This eventually causes the price of goods and services to go up with a low income level. Also, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.
Additionally, this simply means in an inflationary or expansionary condition, the potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is lower than the real Gross Domestic Products.
The investment accelerator effect states that there is an increase in investment expenditure when there is increase in the level of income or demand. Thus, the level of investment in a particular economy is based on the rate of change in consumption and the gross domestic product (GDP).
Hence, when the investment accelerator is large, there's likely to be a short-run increase in investment due to expansionary fiscal policy. The expansionary fiscal policy is usually less when the the interest rate sensitivity of investment is large and consequently, leading to a greater decline in investments.

health insurance resulting from the accident.
Answer:
B) Fred must pay for the damages done to his own car resulting from the accident.E) Fred must pay for any of his own medical bills not covered by his own health insurance resulting from the accident.Explanation:
Fred has insurance coverage for only accident liability. This means that his insurance will only pay for damage to the other party in the accident if it was Fred's fault and they will not cover Fred's own expenses.
Fred must therefore pay for damages done to his own car because his insurance will not cover that. Any medical bills that he incurs as a result of the accident that his medical insurance does not pay for will also have to be paid by him.
Seattle Health Plans currently uses zero-debt financing. Its operating profit is $6 million, and it pays taxes at a 23 percent rate. It has $10 million in assets and, because it is all-equity financed, $10 million in equity. Suppose the firm is considering replacing 59 percent of its equity financing with debt financing that bears an interest rate of 9 percent. What impact would the new capital structure have on the firm's ROE (return on equity)
Answer: ROE increases by 56.5% to 102.7%
Explanation:
ROE before capital structure change:
= Net income / Equity
= (Operating income * ( 1 - tax)) / Equity
= (6,000,000 * (1 - 23%)) / 10,000,000
= 46.2%
With new capital structure:
Debt financing = 59% * 10,000,000
= $5,900,000
Interest = 9% * 5,900,000
= $531,000
Net income = (Operating profit - interest) * ( 1 - tax)
= (6,000,000 - 531,000) * ( 1 - 23%)
= $4,211,130
Return on Equity = 4,211,130 / ( 10,000,000 - 5,900,000)
= 102.7%
Difference:
= 102.7 - 46.2
= 56.5%
"Using the given information, determine the cost of one no rechargeable alkaline battery; and compare with the cost of one rechargeable NiCad battery. *Assumption: The cost of the electricity to recharge the NiCad is negligible (about $0.01). NiCad batteries can be recharged (reused) 100 times. A 4 pack of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries cost $10.80. A 4 pack of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries cost $3.69. Over the life of the battery, which battery is most cost effective? Group of answer choices The NiCad AA rechargeable battery The AA alkaline non rechargeable battery Both batteries cost are the same Batteries are independent of chemical composition and therefore does not impact consumer cost structures"
Answer:
Over the life of the battery, the battery that is most cost-effective is:
The AA alkaline non rechargeable battery.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of times that NiCad batteries can be recharged (reused) = 100 times
Cost of a 4 pack of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $10.80
Recharging cost = $1 ($0.01 * 100)
Total cost of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $11.80
Cost per use = $0.12 ($11.80/100)
Cost of a 4 pack of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $3.69
Cost per use of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $0.04 ($3.69/100)
b) The comparison and the resulting conclusions are based on the assumption that the non rechargeable and the rechargeable batteries enjoy equal useful life. Therefore, the AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries are also used 100 times.
Batteries are a group of cells that are used in devices so it works as an electric power supply. Batteries can be rechargeable or non-rechargeable.
The correct answer is:

According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.6 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 35,000 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answer:
1. 21,000 kg of plastic
2. $168,000
3. $3000 Unfavorable
4. Materials Price variance $9000 Favaorable
Materials Quantity variance $12,000 Unvaforable
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets
Using this formula
Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = Standard quantity required per helmet x Total no. of helmets
Let plug in the formula
Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = 0.60 kg x 35,000
Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = 21,000 kg of plastic
Therefore The standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets is 21,000 kg of plastic
2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) to make 35,000 helmets
Using this formula
Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) = Standard quantity required per helmet x Standard cost per kg x Total no. of helmets
Let plug in the formula
Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP)= 0.60 x $8 x 35,000
Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP)= $168,000
Therefore The standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) to make 35,000 helmets is $168,000
3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance
First step is to calculate the Materials Price variance
Using this formula
Materials Price variance = (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
Let plug in the
Materials Price variance= $171,000 - (22,500 x $8)
Materials Price variance= $171,000 - 180,000
Materials Price variance= -$9,000
= $9000 Favaorable
Second step is to calculate the Materials Quantity variance using this formula
Materials Quantity variance = (AQ × SP) - (SQxSP)
Let plug in the formula
Materials Quantity variance=
Materials Quantity variance= 180,000 - $168,000
Materials Quantity variance=$12,000
Materials Quantity variance= $12,000 Unvaforable
Now let calculate the Materials spending variance using this formula
Materials spending variance = Price variance + Quantity variance
Let plug in the formula
Materials spending variance= -$9,000+ $12,000 Materials spending variance= $3,000
Materials spending variance= $3000 Unfavorable
Therefore Materials spending variance is $3000 Unfavorable
4. Calculation to determine the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance
Calculation for the Materials Price variance Using this formula
Materials Price variance = (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
Let plug in the formula
Materials Price variance= $171,000 - (22,500 x $8)
Materials Price variance= $171,000 - 180,000
Materials Price variance= -$9,000
Materials Price variance= $9000 Favaorable
Therefore Materials Price variance is $9000 Favaorable
Calculation to determine Materials Quantity variance using this formula
Materials Quantity variance = (AQ × SP) - (SQxSP)
Let plug in the formula
Materials Quantity variance= = 180,000 - $168,000
Materials Quantity variance=$12,000
Materials Quantity variance= $12,000 Unvaforable
Therefore Materials Quantity variance is $12,000 Unvaforable
given that x is equals to -2 find the value of y and z for the simultaneous equation x+-z=-1, x-2y+z=-7
Answer:
Explanation:
given
x = - 2
Then
x + ( - z) = - 1
-2 - z = - 1
- z = - 1 + 2
z = - 1
now
x - 2y + z = - 7
- 2 - 2y - 1 = - 7
- 3 - 2y = - 7
- 2y = - 7 + 3
- 2y = - 4
y = 2

Dummitt, Inc. anticipates sales of 70,000 units, 68,000 units, and 71,000 units in July, August, and September, respectively. Company policy is to maintain an ending finished-goods inventory equal to 30% of the following month's sales. On the basis of this information, how many units would the company plan to produce in August
Answer:
the number of units produced in August is 68,900 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units produced in August is presented below:
Sales 68,000 units
Add: ending inventory (71,000 units × 30%) 21,300 units
Less: beginning inventory (68,000 units × 30%) -20,400 units
Production in August 68,900 units
Hence, the number of units produced in August is 68,900 units

24. The following information is available for Geek Manufacturing Company. -- Direct materials price standard is $4.50 per pound. -- Direct materials quantity standard is seven pounds per finished unit. -- Budgeted production is 25,000 finished units. -- 200,000 pounds of direct materials were purchased for $925,000. -- 200,000 pounds of direct materials were used in production. -- 25,600 finished units of product were produced. What is the direct materials price variance
Answer:
Material price variance = $25,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite

Unibic India: From Fastest Growing Niche Cookie Brand to a Challenger?
In 2007, Lighthouse Funds acquired a 25% stake in Unibic from Unibic Australia for Rs. 200 million. In 2010,
Unibic Australia started making losses and wanted to withdraw from the Indian market. At that time, Unibic
operated solely in the premium, high-margin cookies segment in India, with a share of around 8%. It had a
market presence primarily in south India and was exporting to the Middle East and Hong Kong. It had strategic
alliances to make cookies for various private players. However, it was not yet making profits and was cash-
strapped...
Over the next few years, Unibic grew rapidly. Its growth was primarily fueled by the changes sweeping through
the Indian biscuit industry, wherein glucose biscuits that had dominated the market, gradually lost out to cream
biscuits and cookies. The reasons for the shift included rising disposable incomes leading to an increase in
consumption of premium biscuits; a larger number of manufacturing facilities of premium biscuits; growing
health awareness; innovation bringing in attractive new products; rising affordability of cookies; and increase
in eye-catching packaging...
Over the years, Unibic regularly introduced fresh and unique flavors, ultimately producing over 30 variants of
cookies. Its products could be broadly categorized into chocolate, butter, milk, savory, and health. The company
considered its target market to be between the ages of 14 and 40. It continued its efforts at innovation and
produced new products which would appeal to its target market...
In 2015, Unibic had used celebrity endorsement by signing on south Indian actor Shruti Hassan, for over a year.
It stated that it wanted someone who was relevant and would give the brand a boost to get to the numbers it
wanted in the South...
Unibic didn’t advertise much in print media; TV remained the company’s core focus and got the largest chunk
of its advertising spend, followed by digital and OOH. Instead of following the traditional strategy of having a
similar marketing campaign across markets, Unibic employed a unique strategy in each market, thereby playing
to its strengths in each market while keeping in mind the market conditions and consumption patterns...
From 2019 onward, Unibic started feeling the heat of the economic slowdown in India. The Indian economic
slowdown of 2019 led to a serious and continuing decline in the country’s real estate, automobile and
construction sectors and in overall consumption demand. The second quarter (July- September) of the financial
year (April 2019-March 2020) witnessed a drastic fall in the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate to 4.5%.
The main reasons attributed to the fall in the GDP growth rate were – contraction in manufacturing activity,
weakened investments, and lower consumption demand.
As of 2020, Unibic had the largest wire cut cookie manufacturing plant in India. The plant had the capability to
manufacture 100 tonnes of cookies each day, with five production lines. While it used 98% of its production
capability to produce its own brand, the rest was used to manufacture for private label brands – six in India and
10 across the world. It had annual revenu7 es of Rs. 5 billion. It also exported its products to more than 21
countries including across Australia, North America, the UK, and Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and New
Zealand. It derived 45% of its earnings from the south of India.
Questions:
a) Explain three factors that had a negative impact on the financial performance of Unibic in its early years.
(6 marks)
b) Which environmental force did Unibic use in segmenting its market? What is this force about? (6 marks)
c) What does the following statement suggest to you about Unibic: “It continued its efforts at innovation
and produced new products which would appeal to its target market”?
d) Which marketing strategy did Unibic use in 2015 and explain any two (2) reasons why firms adopt that
strategy? (9 marks)
e) What main media did Unibic use to implement its marketing strategy? State one advantage of this media.
