14-2 Assume that it is now January 1, 2008. The rate of inflation is expected to be 2 percent throughout 2008. In 2009 and after, increased government deficits and renewed vigor in the economy are expected to push inflation rates higher. Investors expect the inflation rate to be 3 percent in 2009, 5 percent in 2010, and 6 percent in 2011. The real risk-free rate, r*, currently is 3 percent. Assume that no maturity risk premiums are required on bonds with five years or less to maturity. The current interest rate on five-year T-bonds is 8 percent. a. What is the average expected inflation rate over the next four years? b. What should be the prevailing interest rate on four-year T-bonds? c. What is the implied expected inflation rate in 2012, or Year 5?

–M Inc. issued 2,000 convertible bonds in 2009 at a coupon rate of 8% and a par value of £1,000. Each bond is convertible into M Inc.’s common stock at £25 per share.

M Inc. expected the stock price to rise rapidly after the convertible was issued and lead to a quick conversion of the bond debt into equity. However, a recessionary climate has prevented that from happening, and the bonds are still outstanding. In 2010 M Inc. had net income of £3 million. One million share of its stock were outstanding for the entire year, and its marginal tax rate is 40%.

Calculate M Inc.’s basic and diluted EPS. (Diluted EPS assumes all convertible bonds are converted at the beginning of the year)

The following information is for Crane Limited for 2020:

There were no changes during 2020 in the number of common shares, preferred shares, or convertible bonds outstanding. For simplicity, ignore the requirement to book the convertible bonds’ equity portion separately.

Calculate the income effect of the dividends on preferred shares.

Calculate basic earnings per share for 2020. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Determine an incremental per share effect for 6% preferred shares. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Calculate the proceeds from assumed exercise of 65,000 options.

Calculate the incremental shares oustanding upon the exercise of options.

Calculate the after-tax interest paid on the 8% bonds.

Determine an incremental per share effect for 8% bonds. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Rank the potentially dilutive securities from most dilutive to least dilutive.

Calculate diluted earnings per share for 2020. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

TKO Inc. is a screwdriver manufacturing firm that has been in the New Territories since Jan 1^st, 1960. TKO Inc. makes net income of 20% on each dollar of sales after cost of sales and other expenses are taken care of.

However, TKO Inc. delivered sales of HKD 900,000 between Jan 1^st, 2019 and Dec 29^th, 2019. On December 30^th, 2019, the sales manager of TKO gets a phone call from a new customer called Whampoa Inc. saying that they want to buy HKD 200,000 worth of screwdrivers from TKO Inc. and they want delivery on January 15^th, 2020.

What is the net income of TKO Inc. on December 31^st, 2019? (1 point)

TKO Inc. is under pressure by investors to report a high net income of HKD 200,000 on December 31^st, 2019 and an even higher net income of HKD 220,000 on December 31^st, 2020.

The accounting manager of TKO Inc. remembers that Hang Hau Inc. has always been a reliable customer and has always bought screwdrivers worth HKD 500,000 every year for the past 40 years (this 500,000 has always been included in the recorded 900,000). The accounting manager records a delivery of HKD 200,000 that was originally due on January 31^st, 2020 to Hang Hau Inc. on December 31^st, 2019 but does not actually deliver on December 31^st, 2019.

In this case, assuming that TKO Inc. consistently makes deliveries of sales worth 900,000 HKD every year including 2020, what would the net income of TKO Inc. be on December 31^st, 2019 and December 31^st, 2020. (2 points each à 4 points)

TKO Inc. recently “pushed” new customers like Po Lam Inc. and Tiu Keng Leung Inc. to buy its screwdrivers and offered them 10% discounts to hit its targets. TKO Inc. also sold to these customers without checking whether they would be able to re-sell it to others. TKO Inc. also said that Po Lam and Tiu Keng Leung can pay after 1 year as it was very desperate for sales. What problems do all these actions cause? (5 points)
