Answer:
Monarch Resources Inc.
a. Earnings per share:
= $ 11.50
b. Price-earnings ratio:
= 8x
c. Dividends per share:
= $4.60 per share
d. Dividend yield:
= 5%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Common stock, $125 par value = $12,500,000
Number of common stock shares = 100,000 ($12,500,000/$125)
$6 Preferred stock, $90 par value = $2,250,000
Number of preferred stock shares = 25,000 ($2,250,000/$90)
Net income = $1,300,000
Dividends on the Preferred stock = $150,000 ($2,250,000/$90 * $6)
Net income after preferred dividend = $1,150,000 ($1,300,000-$150,000)
Dividends on the Common stock = $460,000
Common stock market price = $92 per share
a. Earnings per share
= Net income after preferred dividend/number of shares
= $1,150,000/100,000
= $ 11.50
b. Price-earnings ratio:
= Market price/EPS
= $92/$11.50
= 8x
c. Dividends per share:
= Common stock dividends/number of common stock shares
= $460,000/100,000
= $4.60 per share
d. Dividend yield:
= Market price/Dividend per share
= $4.60/$92 * 100
= 5%
Suppose Fiat recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Case for $4.3 billion. Prior to the merger, the market for four-wheel-drive tractors consisted of five firms. The market was highly concentrated, with a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 3,195. Case’s share of that market was 16 percent, while Fiat comprised just 8 percent of the market. If approved, by how much would the postmerger Herfindahl-Hirschman index increase?
Answer:
the increase resulting from this merger = 256
Explanation:
before the merger, both Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 16² + 8² = 320
after the merger, Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 24² = 576
the increase resulting from this merger = 576 - 320 = 256
The air pollution could be reduced if the company spent $10,000 on upgraded ventilators. The company agrees to install the ventilators if the affected families contribute the $10,000. However, because individuals will benefit from the reduction in air pollution whether they contribute or not, most people will not contribute and the firm will not install the ventilators. This outcome is an example of the
Answer:
free rider problem
Explanation:
The air pollution constitutes a negative externality
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Free rider is when some people benefit from the solution proffered but do not pay to enjoy these benefits
Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 5 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce either 1 radios or 5 televisions per year. Each nation has 100 workers. Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be
Answer:
450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.
Explanation:
In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.

Comcast (CMCSA) is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 2850 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 56. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: =-9.34%
Explanation:
Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:
= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed
= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850
= -267 / 2850
= -0.09368
=-9.34%
Note:
Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433
Dividend = 100
Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600
Iduna Company has adopted the dollar-value LIFO method in 2018. At December 31, 2018, the ending inventory at dollar-value LIFO is $103,000, with a price index of 1.00. At December 31, 2019, the ending inventory using year-end prices is $125,000. The price index is 1.3 in 2019. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest dollar. What is the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
Answer:
$96,154
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
First step is to calculate the Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory= $125,000/1.3
Ending Inventory =$96,154
Now let calculate the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO=$96,154* $1
December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO= $96,154
Therefore the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019 will be $96,154
An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at a) $60,000 and b) $80,000. Assume the applicable tax rate is 40 percent.
Answer:
(a) The cash flows is $59,040.
(b) The cash flows is $71,040.
Explanation:
From the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:
Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate = $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400
Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600
We can now proceed as follows:
(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.
(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.
The cash flows is $59,040 and $71,040 when asset are sold at $60,000 and $80,000.
What is MACRS depreciation?MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system is the depreciation system in the U.S. where the cost of the asset is recovered in a specific period through deduction.
Given:
Asset=$200,000
The depreciation rate for 5 year asset are:20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years=20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
=asset cost X depreciation rate for 3 years
=$200,000 X 71.20% = $142,400
Net Book value=Asset Cost - Accumulated depreciation
=$200,000 - $142,400
= $57,600
(a)Cash flows if assets sold at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
=$60,000 - $57,600
= $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
(b)Cash flows if assets sold at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
= $80,000 - $57,600
= $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore the above calculation aptly gives the solution.
