Your buddy comes to you with a sure-fire way to make some quick money and help pay off your student loans. His idea is to sell T-shirts with the words “I get” on them. “You get it?” He says, “You see all those bumper stickers and T-shirts that say ‘got milk’ or ‘got surf.’ So this says, ‘I get.’ It’s funny! All we have to do is buy a used silk screen press for $9,000 and we are in business!” Assume there are no fixed costs and you depreciate the $9,000 in the first period. The tax rate is 23 percent. |
| a. |
What is the accounting break-even point if each shirt costs $4.35 to make and you can sell them for $15.90 apiece? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| b. | Now assume one year has passed and you have sold 7,700 shirts! You find out that the Dairy Farmers of America have copyrighted the “got milk” slogan and are requiring you to pay $29,000 to continue operations. You expect this craze will last for another 3 years and that your discount rate is 15 percent. What is the financial break-even point for your enterprise now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

Mr. Aqeem is a new accounting officer of MMA Bhd. During his early tenure in the company, one of the Mr. Aqeem’s tasks is to analyse and provide opinion on an issue pertaining to the company’s litigation risk. Below is some of the relevant information to be scrutinised by him. In the year 2019, MMA Bhd has introduced a new sport bike called MX-31 through a press conference in Kuala Lumpur. However, one of its competitors, Vroom Bhd claimed that the sport bike was identical to Vroom Bhd’s product. Thus, Vroom Bhd has filed a lawsuit of RM25M against MAA Bhd for patent infringement. Based on the recent development and evidences provided by Vroom Bhd, it seems that the probable outcome of the proceeding would be 95% unfavorable to MMA Bhd. Thus, the MMA Bhd’s legal team advised that the most likely result of the court case is that the company will lose the case and has to pay RM25 million.
The company accounting period ends on 31 December.
You are required to:
1. Based on the above information, identify the probable issue faced by Mr.Aqeem (Problem identification).
2. Analyse the lawsuit case by referring to the MFRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Problem analysis).
3. Advice Mr. Aqeem on the right accounting treatment that should be taken regarding the lawsuit case for the year 2019 (provide justification(s)) (Generation of solution, evaluation and decision making).

Suggest a methodology to supplement the traditional methods for evaluating the capital investments of your selected company in the emerging markets to reduce risk. Provide a rationale for your suggested methodology.
Assess one (1) way in which inflation could potentially impact planned capital investments in emerging markets and examine one (1) approach to perform an accurate evaluation of the investments. Suggest how this knowledge may impact management’s decisions.

QUESTIONS 1 and 2 are based on the information below:
FLF Corporation is preparing to evaluate capital expenditure proposals for the coming year. Because the firm employs discounted cash flow methods, the cost of capital for the firm must be estimated. The following information is provided for your analyses—
1. The market price of common stock is $60/ share
2. The dividend next year is expected to be $3/share
3. The company has paid 10% dividends in the past; the company projected to keep that rate of dividend payments to keep their investors happy.
4. New bonds can be issued at face value with a 10% coupon rate in order to attract additional investors in bonds and not in stocks.
5. The total liabilities as of this date is $400M and total equity is $600M. The company considered this their optimal capital structure.
6. As of the latest investor relations press meeting, the CEO announced that the expected revenue will grow as projected and the intend to retain $3M of the earning for expansion plans.
7. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%.
Without prejudice, assume that the after-tax cost of debt financing is 10% , the cost of retained earnings is 14%, and the cost of new common stock is 16%.
Question 1: If the capital expansion needs to be $7M for the coming year, what is the after-tax weighted-average cost of capital?
Question 2: What is the marginal cost of capital for any projected capital expansion in excess of $7M?

4. Sky Metals, Inc. is a metal fabrication firm that manufactures prefabricated metal parts for customers in a variety of industries. The firm’s motto is “If you need it, we can make it.” The CEO of Sky Metals recently held a board meeting during which he extolled the virtues of the corporation. The company, he stated confidently, had the capability to build any product and could do so using a lean manufacturing model. The firm would soon be profitable, claimed the CEO, because the company used state-of-the-art technology to build a variety of products while keeping inventory levels low. As a business press reporter, you have calculated some ratios to analyze the financial health of the firm. Sky Metals' current ratios and quick ratios for the past 6 years are shown in the following table:

Prehistoric pottery vessels are usually found as sherds (broken pieces) and are carefully reconstructed if enough sherds can be found. Information taken from Mimbres Mogollon Archaeology by A. I. Woosley and A. J. McIntyre (University of New Mexico Press) provides data relating x = body diameter in centimeters and y = height in centimeters of prehistoric vessels reconstructed from sherds found at a prehistoric site. The following Minitab printout provides an analysis of the data.
| Predictor | Coef | SE Coef | T | P |
| Constant | -0.209 | 2.429 | -0.09 | 0.929 |
| Diameter | 0.7554 | 0.1416 | 5.33 | 0.021 |
| S = 4.05660 | R-Sq = 80.5% |
(a) The standard error Se of the linear
regression model is given in the printout as "S." What is the value
of Se?
(b) The standard error of the coefficient of the predictor variable
is found under "SE Coef." Recall that the standard error for
b is
Se/√Σx2 –
(1/n)(Σx)2. From the Minitab
display, what is the value of the standard error for the slope
b?
(c) The formula for the margin of error E for a
c% confidence interval for the slope β can be
written as E = tc(SE Coef). The Minitab display
is based on n = 16 data pairs. Find the critical value
tc for a 99% confidence interval in the
relevant table. Then find a 99% confidence interval for the
population slope β. (Use 3 decimal places.)
