An individual investor has net Sec. 1256 losses of $400,000 in 2018. The individual also has $100,000 of other long-term capital gains. In 2014, the individual had $1,000,000 of Sec. 1256 gains and $300,000 of other long-term capital gains from selling physical gold. In 2015, the individual has no capital gains or losses.

For a particular reaction at 215.7 °C, ΔG = 404.91 kJ/mol, and ΔS = 748.20 J/(mol·K).

Calculate delta G for -74.3 celcius.

I've asked this question previously and the individual who answered got roughly 378 kj/mol which is incorrect.

STEPHENSON REAL ESTATE RECAPITALIZATION Stephenson Real Estate Company was founded 25 years ago by the current CEO, Robert Stephenson. The company purchases real estate, including land and buildings, and rents the property to tenants. The company has shown a profit every year for the past 18 years and the shareholders are satisfied with the company’s management. Prior to founding Stephenson Real Estate, Robert was the founder and CEO of a failed alpaca farming operation. The resulting bankruptcy made him extremely averse to debt financing. As a result, the company is entirely equity financed, with 12 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock currently trades at $53.80 per share. Stephenson is evaluating a plan to purchase a tract of land in the southeastern United States for $49 million. The land will subsequently be leased to tenant farmers. This purchase is expected to increase Stephenson’s annual pretax earnings by $11.5 million in perpetuity. Kim Weyand, the company’s new CFO, has been put in charge of the project. Kim has determined that the company’s current cost of capital is 10.5 percent. She feels that the company would be more valuable if it included debt in its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to entirely finance the project. Based on some conversations with investment banks, she thinks that the company can issue bonds at par value with a coupon rate of 7 percent. Based on her analysis, she also believes that a capital structure in the range of 70 percent equity/30 percent debt would be optimal. If the company goes beyond 30 percent debt, its bonds would carry a lower rating and a much higher coupon because the possibility of financial distress and the associated costs would rise sharply. Stephenson has a 21 percent corporate tax rate (state and federal).

1.If Stephenson wishes to maximize its total market value, would you recommend that it issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase? Explain.

2.Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet before it announces the purchase.

3.Suppose Stephenson decides to issue equity to finance the purchase.

a.What is the net present value of the project?

b.Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet after it announces that the firm will finance the purchase using equity. What would be the new price per share of the firm’s stock? How many shares will Stephenson need to issue to finance the purchase?

c.Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet after the equity issue but before the purchase has been made. How many shares of common stock does Stephenson have outstanding? What is the price per share of the firm’s stock?

d.Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet after the purchase has been made.

4.Suppose Stephenson decides to issue debt to finance the purchase.

a.What will the market value of Stephenson be if the purchase is financed with debt?

b.Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet after both the debt issue and the land purchase. What is the price per share of the firm’s stock?

5.Which method of financing maximizes the per-share stock price of Stephenson’s equity?

IWT is a 6-year-old company founded to exploit metamaterial plasmonic technology to develop

and manufacture miniature microwave frequency directional transmitters and receivers

for use in mobile Internet and communications applications. IWT’s technology, although

highly advanced, is relatively inexpensive to implement, and its patented manufacturing

techniques require little capital as compared to many electronics fabrication ventures.

Because of the low capital requirement, they have been able to avoid

issuing new stock and thus own all of the shares. Because of the explosion in demand for

its mobile Internet applications, IWT must now access outside equity capital to fund its

growth, and owners have decided to take the company public. Until now,

the owners have paid themselves reasonable salaries but routinely reinvested

all after-tax earnings in the firm, so dividend policy has not been an issue. However,

before talking with potential outside investors, they must decide on a dividend policy.

Your new boss at the consulting firm Flick and Associates, which has been retained to

help IWT prepare for its public offering, has asked you to make a presentation to the owners

in which you review the theory of dividend policy and discuss the following issues.

a. (1) What is meant by the term “distribution policy”? How has the mix of dividend

payouts and stock repurchases changed over time?

(2) The terms “irrelevance,” “dividend preference” (or “bird-in-the-hand”), and “tax

effect” have been used to describe three major theories regarding the way dividend

payouts affect a firm’s value. Explain these terms, and briefly describe each theory.

Donaghy Corporation was founded 20 years ago by its president, Jack Donaghy. The company originally began as a small order company, but has grown rapidly in recent years, in large part due to its website. Because of the wide geographical dispersion of the company’s customers, it current employs a lockbox system with collection centres in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

Liz lemon, the company’s treasurer, has been examining the current cash collection policies. On average, each lockbox centre handles $193,000 in payment each day. The company’s current policy is to invest these payments in short-term marketable securities daily at the collection centre banks. Every two weeks, the investment accounts are swept; the proceeds are wire-transferred to Donaghy’s headquarters in Winnipeg to meet the company’s payroll. The investment accounts each earn .012% per day, and the wire transfers cost .20% of the amount transferred.

Liz has been approached by the Royal Canadian Bank about the possibility of setting up a concentration baking system for Donaghy Corp. Royal Canadian will accept each of the lockbox centres daily payments via automated clearinghouse (ACH) transfers in lieu of wire transfers. The ACH-transferred funds will not be available for use for one day. Once cleared, the funds will be deposited in a short-term account, which also yield .012% per day. Each ACH transfer will cost $150. Jack Asked Liz to determine which cash management system will be the best for the company. Liz has asked you, her assistant, to answer the following questions:

1.     What is Donaghy Corporation’s total net cash flow available from the current lockbox system to meet payroll?

2.     Under the terms outlined by the bank, should the company proceed with the concentration baking system?

3.     What cost of ACH transfer would make the company indifferent between the two systems?
