Green Manufacturing, Inc., plans to announce that it will issue $2 million of perpetual debt and use the proceeds to repurchase common stock. The bonds will sell at par with a coupon rate of 6%. Green is currently an all-equity firm worth $6.3 million with 400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. After the sale of the bonds, Green will maintain the new capital structure indefinitely. Green currently generates annual pretax earnings of $1.5 million. This level of earnings is expected to remain constant in perpetuity. Green is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%.
A) What is the expected return on Green?s equity before the announcement of the debt issue?
B) Construct Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue. What is the price per share of the firm's equity?
C) Construct Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue. What is Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement?
D) How many shares will Green purchase as a result of the debt issue? How many shares of common stock will remain after the repurchase?
E) Construct a market value balance sheet after the restructuring. What is the required return on Green's equity after the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation and attachment
Explanation:
a. Return on equity:
= Pre tax earnings × (1 - Tax rate) / Total equity
= 1.5 million × (1 - 40%) / 6.3 million
= 1.5 million × (1 - 0.4) / 6.3 million
= (1.5 million × 0.6) / 6.3 million
= 0.9 million / 6.3 million
= 14.29%
b. Check attachment for Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue.
The price per share of the firm's equity will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= $6300000 / 400000
= $15.75 per share
c. Check Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue.
Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement will be calculated thus:
We need to know the value of tax shield which will be:
= 40% × $2,000,000
= $800,000
Value of firm = $6,300,000 + $800,000
= $7,100,000
Price per share will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= 7100000 / 400000
= $17.75 per share
d. The number of shares that Green will purchase as a result of the debt issue will be:
= Debt issue / Price per share
= 2,000,000 / 17.57
= 112,676
The number of shares of common stock that will remain after the repurchase will be:
= 400000 - 112676
= 287324
e. Check attachment for market value balance sheet after the restructuring.
The required return on Green's equity after the restructuring will be:
= 14.29% + (2000000/5100000) × (14.29% - 6%) × (1 - 40%)
= 14.29% + 0.3921 × 8.29% × 0.6
= 14.29% + 1.95%
= 16.24%

how have people responded to the pandemic in terms of successful managing event at this time?
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
The pandemic of 2019 which spread so fast in 2020 and caused the shut down of many business activities has been effectively managed and adapted to by many people. Given that the pandemic requires social distancing, regular handwashing, wearing of nose masks and some other hygienic practices aimed at quelling its effects, people have endeavored to avoid unnecessary social gatherings.
Business meetings, wedding events, and even the education of students are held virtually through video calling applications. This way events are still held while keeping to the rules guiding the pandemic.
Chelsea, Inc. uses the job costing method and uses direct labor hours as the allocation base. In 2016, the company estimated that they would incur 250,000 direct labor hours and total overhead costs of $2,500,000. Actual overhead costs for Job 3489 were $275,000 and actual direct labor hours were 28,000. Which of the following represents the MOH allocated to Job 3489?
a. Predetermined MOH rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead costs/ total estimated amount of the allocation base
b. $250,000/ 25,000 DLH= $10
c. MOH allocated to job= predetermined MOH rate * actual amount of allocation base used by the job
d. $10 * 28,000 DLH= $280,000
Answer:
Allocated MOH= 10*28,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,500,000 / 250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 10*28,000
Allocated MOH= $280,000
Think about an organizational change that recently affected you. This could be a change at work in which jobs or procedures were changed, or it could be a change at school, such as a change in curriculum requirements or major revisions in registration procedures. How effectively did the organization manage the change? What could the organization have done differently to reduce resistance to the change? Your post should reflect the terms and concepts in Chapter 15.
Explanation:
One good example is the recent change in the way we learn at school (remote learning). For many students, it was the first time they had to receive instructions from a teacher via videoconferencing.
Many organizations tried to adjust to this new normal, however, most organizations were confused about what training to provide, how long to should they plan for, etc.
Reports say that many teachers found it difficult to adapt to this method of teaching, hence, some were resistant to this change. However, if proper enlightenment were carried out, as well as employing some motivational factors, such resistance to change would have been minimal.
The following information describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year
Actual direct materials used 33,000 lbs. at $5.90 per lb
Actual direct labor used 10,700 hours for a total of $221,490
Actual units produced 63,000
Budgeted standards for each unit produced e 0.50 pounds of direct material at $5.85 per pound and 10 minutes of direct labor at $21.70 per hour
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ Standard Quantity
AP Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
AH = Actual Hours
SH = Standard Hours AR Actual Rate
SR = Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1a. Direct material price variance
= (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity
= ( $5.85 - $5.90) × 33,000
= $1,650 unfavorable
1.b Direct materials quantity variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price
= (63,000 × 0.5 - 33,000) × $5.85
= $8,775 unfavourable
2.a Direct labor rate variance
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual quantity
= ($21.70 - $20.7) × 10,700
= $10,700 favorable
2.b Direct labor efficiency variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard rate)
= [(10/60 × 63,000) - 10,700] × $21.7
= (10,500 - 10,700) × $21.7
= $4,340 unfavorable
Describe how each of the following will affect the demand for personal computers: (a) A rise in incomes (assuming computers are a normal good); (b) A lower expected price for computers; (c) Cheaper software; (d) Simpler-to-operate computers.
Answer and Explanation:
The impact of the demand in the following situations are
1. Since there is a rise in the income and we assume it is a normal good. So in the case of the normal goods it shows a direct relationship between the income and the demand that means if the income is increased so the demand also increased & vice versa
2. For The lower expected computer price, the demand would decrease as the people predict that the price could decline in future
3. For cheaper software, the demand is increased as the price is very less
4. In the case when the computer are simple to operate so it would increase the demand
A rise in income would lead to an increase in the demand for personal computers.
A lower than expected price for personal computers would lead to a rise in the quantity demanded for personal computers.
A cheaper software would lead to an increase in the demand for personal computers.
Simpler-to-operate computers would lead to an increase in the demand for personal computers.
A normal good is a good whose demand increases when income increases and decreases when income declines.
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a change in the quantity demanded. Other factors lead to a change in demand.

Weighted-average accumulated expenditure = $1,031,667
Sources debt:
$750,000 construction loan, 10% annual interest = $75,000
$400,000 note payable, 9% annual interest = 36,000
$500,000 par value bonds, 7.5% annual interest = 37,500
Total debt = $1,650,000 Total interest = $148,500
Weighted-average interest rate = $148,500/$1,650,000 * 100 = 9%
Interest to be capitalized = Weighted-average accumulated expenditure * Weighted-average interest rate
= $1,031,667 * 9%

Bluegill Company sells 7,200 units at $260 per unit. Fixed costs are $93,600 and income from operations is $842,400. Determine the following: Round the contribution margin ratio to two decimal places. a. Variable cost per unit $fill in the blank 1 b. Unit contribution margin $fill in the blank 2 per unit c. Contribution margin ratio fill in the blank 3 %
Answer:
Variable cost per unit = $130
Contribution margin per unit = $130
Contribution margin ratio = 50%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Contribution margin per unit = (Fixed cost + Operations income) ÷ Total units
= ($93,600 + $842,400) ÷ 7,200
= $936,000 ÷ 7,200
= $130
Variable cost per unit = Sale price per unit - Contribution margin per unit
= $260 - $130
= $130
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= 130 ÷ 260
= 50%

Pankraz Corporation, a calendar year taxpayer, is formed on April 1, 2020. In connection with its formation, it incurs organizational expenditures of $54,000. Pankraz wants to claim as much of these expenses as soon as possible. Round per month amount to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. Therefore, its deduction for 2020 is $fill in the blank 1
Answer:
$3,650
Explanation:
Calculation to determine its deduction i
First step is to calculate the Expense
Expense=$5,000 - ($54,000 - $50,000)
Expense=$5,000-$4,000
Expense= $1,000
Second step is to calculate the Amortization
Amortization= ($54,000 - $1,000)/180 months
Amortization= $294.44 x 9 months
Amortization= $2,649.99
Amortization= $2,650 (Approximately)
Now let calculate the total deduction
Total deduction =$1,000 + $2,650
Total deduction= $3,650
Therefore, its deduction for 2020 is $3,650
A copy machine is available 18 hours a day. On a typical day, the machine needs to process 320 jobs. Each job takes about 1.5 minutes on the machine, 0.5 minute of which is processing time and 1 minute is setup time (logging in, defining the job). About 25% of the jobs need to be reworked, in which the set?up time and the processing time have to be repeated once. In the remaining time, the equipment is idle. You would need to show steps and use 2 decimals in calculations.
(a) Draw a tree diagram to show the breakdown of equipment time.
(b) Define and calculate total non value added time in minutes.
(c) Define and calculate total value added time in minutes.
(d) Calculate total waste time in minutes. Give a detailed breakdown of waste time.
(e) What is the OEE of the equipment? (percentage, 2 decimals, i.e. 23.67%)
Answer:
(b)
Total available time = 18x60 =1080 min.
Total processing time = 320x0.5 = 160 min
Total set up time = 320x1 -320 min.
Total rework time = ( 1+0.5) =120 min.
Total Non value added time = set up time + rework time 320+120 = 440 min.
(c) Total value added time = processing time = 160 min.
(d) Total waste time = set up time + rework time + Idle time 320+120+ 480 = 920 mn.
(e) OEE = processing time / time available = 160/1080 = 0.1481 = 14.81%

Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,745,300. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 56,300 hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate to apply factory overhead. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 1 per machine hour
Answer:
$31
Explanation:
Given the following information,
Total factory overhead costs = $1,745,300
Direct labor hours = 56,300
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we will make use of the formula below;
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base
= $1,745,300 / 56,300
= $31
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate to apply to factory overhead is $31
Assume that Canada imports more goods and services than it exports. Which of the following is true of the Canadian balance of payments accounts?
(A) The current account balance must be negative.
(B) The current account balance must be positive
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
(D) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be negative
(E) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be positive
Answer:
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
Explanation:
The Balance of trade refers to the net amount payable or receivable
In the case when the net amount is receivable so the balance of trade comes in positive and when the net amount payable is high than the balance of trade is negative.
Now
When the country exports greater than imports so it is a positive balance of Trade and on the other hand When the country imports greater than exports then the balance of trade is negative.

Which of the following is not a way of creating agency in California?
Answer:
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.
Explanation:
1. Written or expressed - An oral or written contract in which the parties state the contract's terms and express their intentions in words. We agree orally to the terms of our agency relationship, wherein you will hire me to market your property or represent you as a buyer's agent.
2. Implied - A contract under which the agreement of the parties is demonstrated by their acts and conduct. Example: "I'll help you buy a house; so don't work with anyone else because I will be your agent. Let's go look at some houses today."
3. Ostensible Agency - An actual agency relationship that arises by the actions of the parties rather than by express agreement. For example, the owner of a property knows a broker is showing the owner's vacant lot to prospective buyers without authority to do so. Unless the owner takes steps to stop such unauthorized showings, the law considers that third parties have a just cause to believe the broker to be the "owner's broker." This situation is called an ostensible agency because on the surface an agency appears to exist. Once this type of agency is created, the owner is prevented by estoppel* from denying its existence.
*Estoppel - A legal doctrine by which a person is prevented from asserting rights or facts that are inconsistent with a previous position or representation made by act, conduct, or silence.
4. Ratification - A method of creating an agency relationship in which the principal (seller or buyer) accepts the conduct of someone who acted without prior authorization as the principal's agent. Example: A licensee who shows a property without the owner's prior approval, and then the owner agrees to work with the agent to sell the property.
