F. Pierce Products Inc. is considering changing its capital structure. F. Pierce currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows:
| Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) |
Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) |
Market Debt- to-Equity Ratio (D/S) |
Before-Tax Cost of Debt (rd) | |
| 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.00 | 6.0% | |
| 0.2 | 0.8 | 0.25 | 7.0 | |
| 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.67* | 8.0 | |
| 0.6 | 0.4 | 1.50 | 9.0 | |
| 0.8 | 0.2 | 4.00 | 10.0 | |
* Use the exact value of 2/3 in your calculations.
F. Pierce uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity, rs and at the time of the analaysis the risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 4%, and the company's tax rate is 30%. F. Pierce estimates that its beta now (which is "unlevered" because it currently has no debt) is 0.85. Based on this information, what is the firm's optimal capital structure, and what would be the weighted average cost of capital at the optimal capital structure? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

A)Which of the following is NOT a valid boundary condition for a particle inside a 1D box of finite length L? For this problem, assume that the potential energy outside the box is infinite.
1-When x = 0, PHI = 0.
2-The particle can only be inside the box.
3-The wave function is complex.
4-If the wavefunction is normalized, the integral of the complex conjugate from 0 to L will be 1.
5-When x = L, PHI = 0.
B)Looking at the energy eigenvalues for a 1D particle in a box, which of the following can we conclude about the change in energy between levels?
1-Energy level spacing increases when the box becomes more confined.
2-Energy level spacing increases as Planck's constant increases.
3-Energy level spacing increases when particle mass decreases and when the box becomes more confined.
4-Energy level spacing increases when particle mass decreases.
5-Energy level spacing does not change with particle mass.
C)One argon molecule is confined in 1.0 m3 box at 298 K. The probability of the Ar molecule being in the ground state (n=1) is very small. Why?
1-The change in energy between levels is very small compared to kT.
2-The partition function for this molecule is very large.
3-The box is much larger than the de Broglie wavelength of argon.
4-All of these answers are correct.

Poma Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, R78S and N32Y, about which it has provided the following data:
| R78S | N32Y | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct materials per unit | $ 27.20 | $ 54.70 |
| Direct labor per unit | $ 8.80 | $ 22.00 |
| Direct labor-hours per unit | 0.4 | 1.0 |
| Annual production (units) | 35,000 | 10,000 |
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,427,040 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 24,000.
The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
| Activities and Activity Measures | Estimated Overhead Cost |
|---|---|
| Assembling products (direct labor-hours) | $ 672,000 |
| Preparing batches (batches) | 255,840 |
| Product support (product variations) | 499,200 |
| Total | $ 1,427,040 |
| Expected Activity | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| R78S | N32Y | Total | |
| Direct labor-hours | 14,000 | 10,000 | 24,000 |
| Batches | 816 | 1,152 | 1,968 |
| Product variations | 840 | 408 | 1,248 |
The unit product cost of product N32Y under the activity-based costing system is closest to:
A: $136.16
B: $136.00
C: $76.70
D: $59.30

Kaelea, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of
$90,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to
be $8,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong
expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If
there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. The
company is considering a $34,000 debt issue with an interest rate
of 6 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of
stock. There are currently 3,600 shares outstanding. Assume the
company has a market-to-book ratio of 1.0.
a. Calculate return on equity, ROE, under each of
the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued, assuming no
taxes.
b. Calculate the percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands or enters a recession, assuming no taxes.
Assume the firm goes through with the proposed recapitalization
and no taxes.
c. Calculate return on equity, ROE, under each of
the three economic scenarios after the recapitalization.
d. Calculate the percentage changes in ROE for economic expansion and recession.
Assume the firm has a tax rate of 35 percent.
e. Calculate return on equity, ROE, under each of
the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also,
calculate the percentage changes in ROE for economic expansion and
recession.
f. Calculate return on equity, ROE, under each of the three economic scenarios after the recapitalization. Also, calculate the percentage changes in ROE for economic expansion and recession, assuming the firm goes through with the proposed recapitalization.
