Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,800,000 marks on March 15, 2016. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,800,000 marks on December 15, 2015. Leickner selects a strike price of $0.66 per mark, paying a premium of $0.003 per unit, when the spot rate is $0.66. The spot rate increases to $0.665 at December 31, 2015, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $14,000. By March 15, 2016, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.68, resulting in a fair value for the option of $36,000.


a.

Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials, assuming that December 31 is Leickner’s year-end and that the raw materials are included in the cost of goods sold in 2016. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)


      

b.

What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods? (In case of negative impact on net income, answer should be entered with a minus sign.)

      

c.

What is the net cash outflow to acquire the raw materials?

Brooks Sporting Inc. is prepared to report the following 2016 income statement (shown in thousands of dollars).

Sales $13000
Operating costs including depreciation 9620
EBIT $3380
Interest 330
EBT $3050
Taxes (40%) 1220
Net income $1830

Prior to reporting this income statement, the company wants to determine its annual dividend. The company has 530000 shares of stock outstanding, and its common stock trades at $47 per share. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below.

please help!thank you!:)

  1. The company had a 30% dividend payout ratio in 2015. If Brooks wants to maintain this payout ratio in 2016, what will be its per-share dividend in 2016? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    $  

  2. If the company maintains this 30% payout ratio, what will be the current dividend yield on the company's stock? Round your answer to two decimal places.

    %

  3. The company reported net income of $1.6 million in 2015. Assume that the number of shares outstanding has remained constant. What was the company's per-share dividend in 2015? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    $  

  4. As an alternative to maintaining the same dividend payout ratio, Brooks is considering maintaining the same per-share dividend in 2016 that it paid in 2015. If it chooses this policy, what will be the company's dividend payout ratio in 2016? Round your answer to two decimal places.

    %

  5. Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend?

    1. Since the company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity, it would be best for the firm to maintain the same per-share dividend.
    2. Since the company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity, it would be best for the firm to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio.
