assume the total market value of Firm A consists of the following securities:

Common stock: Price=$48, div(t=0)=$2.25, g=3%.

100m shares outstanding

Preferred stock: Price=$80, perpetual annual dividend=$6.50.

2.5m shares outstanding

Bonds: Price=$1000, YTM=7% (semiannual coupons), Par=$1000, 13 years until maturity.

5m bonds outstanding

1. Use the DCF approach to calculate the cost of common equity. Ignore flotation costs.

2. Express your answer as a percentage. Enter "12.43" for 12.43%. Round to two decimal places if necessary.

3. Calculate the component cost of preferred stock. Ignore flotation costs.

Assuming a tax rate of 40%, calculate the after-tax component cost of debt.

4. Calculate Firm A’s WACC. Assume the firm is currently operating at its target capital structure (in this case, market weights = target weights).

5. Assume Firm B’s FCFs are as follows: Year 1: $120m, Year 2: $200m, and g=4% after Year 2. WACC=7%. Use the Corporate Valuation Model to calculate Firm B’s total market value. Ignore flotation costs.

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February: Beginning inventories for Molding; Assembly (first number for molding second number for assembly) Physical units 10,000;8,000 Costs: Transferred in ? ;$ 45,200 Direct materials $ 22,000; ? Conversion costs $ 13,800 ;$ 16,800 Current production: Units started 25,000 ; ? Units transferred out 30,000 ; 35,000 Costs: Transferred in ? ; ? Direct materials $ 56,250 ; $ 39,550 Conversion costs $103,500 $136,500 Percentage of completion: Beginning inventory 40% ; 50% Ending inventory 80 ; 50 Required: 1. Using the weighted average method, prepare the following for the Molding Department: a. A physical flow schedule b. An equivalent units calculation c. Calculation of unit costs. Round to four decimal places. d. Cost of ending work in process and cost of goods transferred out e. A cost reconciliation

On 1/1/2016, Choco acquired 70% of Cake. Choco paid $700,000 and acquisition date fair value of non-controlling interest (NCI) is $200,000. On 1/1/2016, Choco allocated the entire $80,000 excess fair value over book value to adjust “patented technology” account (estimated remaining life of 10 years). During 2016, Choco sold goods to Cake for $200,000 which cost Choco $170,000. Cake still owns 50% of the goods at the end of 2016. Sales revenue for Choco is $1,200,000, and for Cake is $800,000 in 2016. Cost of goods sold for Choco is $700,000 and for Cake is $500,000 in 2016.   Net income for Choco is $120,000 and for Cake is $70,000 in 2016. Cake declared $10,000 of dividends in 2016. Choco uses equity method to account for this investment

Calculate 1) gross profit in percentage and 2) gross profit for remaining year-end inventory.

What is the “equity in earnings of Cake” and “investment in Cake” in 12/31/16?

b. Given the monthly usages in the following table, classify the items in A, B, and C categories according to dollar usage.

c. Determine the percentage of items in each category and the annual dollar value for each category for part b.

Bridges and Lloyd, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planning services. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently $250,000) has been allocated to services on the basis of billable hours to clients. A recent analysis found that 65% of the firm's billable hours to clients resulted from tax planning services, while 35% resulted from consulting services.

The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identified three components of administrative cost, as follows:

A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation between the number of staff personnel and the number of clients served (consulting, 20; tax planning, 60). In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous office cost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours and had 20% of the total client transactions.

Assuming the use of activity-based costing, the proper percentage to use in allocating staff support costs to tax planning services is:

Multiple Choice

• 20%.

• 60%.

• 65%.

• 75%.

• 80%.

Harold McWilliams owns and manages a general merchandise store in a rural area of Virginia. Harold sells appliances, clothing, auto parts, and farming equipment, among a wide variety of other types of merchandise. Because of normal seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in the local economy, he knows that his business will also have these fluctuations, and he is planning to use CVP analysis to help him understand how he can expect his profits to change with these fluctuations. Harold has the following information for his most recent year. Cost of goods sold represents the cost paid for the merchandise he sells, while operating costs represent rent, insurance, and salaries, which are entirely fixed.

Required:

1-a. What is Harold’s margin of safety (MOS) in dollars? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

1-b. What is the margin of safety (MOS) ratio? (Input your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1567 = 15.67%).)

3. What is Harold’s margin of safety (in dollars) and operating profit if sales should fall to $645,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
