1. Penguin Pucks, Inc., has current assets of $5,125, net fixed assets of $25,600, current liabilities of $4,500, and long-term debt of $9,900.

What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm?

Shareholders' equity $ 16,325 ± 0.1%

How much is net working capital?

Net working capital $ 625 ± 1%

Explanation:

To find owners' equity, we must construct a balance sheet as follows: Balance Sheet

CA $ 5,125 CL $ 4,500 NFA 25,600 LTD 9,900

OE ??

TA $ 30,725

TL & OE

$ 30,725

We know that total liabilities and owners' equity (TL & OE) must equal total assets of $30,725. We also know that TL & OE is equal to current liabilities plus long-term debt plus owners' equity, so owners' equity is: OE = $30,725 – 9,900 – 4,500 = $16,325 NWC = CA – CL = $5,125 – 4,500 = $625

2. Billy’s Exterminators, Inc., has sales of $740,000, costs of $288,000, depreciation expense of $40,000, interest expense of $30,000, and a tax rate of 35 percent.

What is the net income for this firm?

Net income $ 248,300 ± 0.1%

Explanation:

The income statement for the company is: Income Statement

Sales $ 740,000 Costs 288,000

Depreciation 40,000

EBIT $ 412,000 Interest 30,000

EBT $ 382,000 Taxes (35%) 133,700

Net income $ 248,300 3. You are given the following information for Calvani Pizza Co.: sales = $50,000; costs = $21,800; addition

to retained earnings = $10,700; dividends paid = $1,000; interest expense = $4,200; tax rate = 35 percent. Calculate the depreciation expense. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

Depreciation expense $ 6,000 ± 0.1%

Explanation:

The solution to this question works the income statement backwards. Starting at the bottom: Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings = $1,000 + 10,700 = $11,700 Now, looking at the income statement: EBT − EBT × Tax rate = Net income Recognize that EBT × Tax rate is simply the calculation for taxes. Solving this for EBT yields: EBT = NI / (1 − Tax rate) = $11,700 / (1 − 0.35) = $18,000 Now you can calculate: EBIT = EBT + Interest = $18,000 + 4,200 = $22,200 The last step is to use: EBIT = Sales − Costs − Depreciation $22,200 = $50,000 − 21,800 − Depreciation Solving for depreciation, we find that depreciation = $6,000 4. Prepare a 2011 balance sheet for Cornell Corp. based on the following information: cash = $146,000;

Common stock 447,000

Accumulated retained earnings 1,240,000

Total liabilities & owners' equity $ 2,908,500 ± 0.01%

Explanation:

Total liabilities and owners’ equity is: TL & OE = CL + LTD + Common stock + Retained earnings Solving for this equation for equity gives us: Common stock = $2,908,500 − 1,221,500 − 1,240,000 = $447,000 5. Penguin Pucks, Inc., has current assets of $4,300, net fixed assets of $25,500, current liabilities of $3,800,

and long-term debt of $7,300.

(a) What is the value of the shareholders' equity account for this firm? 18,700

(b) How much is net working capital? 500 rev: 09_17_2012 Explanation:

To find owner's equity, we must construct a balance sheet as follows:

Balance Sheet CA $4,300 CL $3,800 NFA 25,500 LTD 7,300

OE ?? TA $29,800 TL & OE $29,800

We know that total liabilities and owner's equity (TL & OE) must equal total assets of $29,800. We also know that TL & OE is equal to current liabilities plus long-term debt plus owner's equity, so owner's equity is: (a) OE = $29,800 − 7,300 − 3,800 = $18,700 (b) NWC = CA − CL = $4,300 − 3,800 = $500 6. , Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $355,000, depreciation expense of $37,000, interest expense of

7. Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery three years ago for $6.7 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $3.95 million. Klingon's current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $3.05 million, current liabilities of $1.8 million, and net working capital of $580,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.7 million cash.

Required: (a) What is the book value of Klingon's assets today? 5,430,000

(b) What is the market value? 5,650,000 rev: 09_17_2012 Explanation: (a)

To find the book value of current assets, we use: NWC = CA – CL. Rearranging to solve for current assets, we get:

CA = NWC + CL = $580,000 + 1,800,000 = $2,380,000

The market value of current assets and fixed assets is given, so:

Book value CA $2,380,000 Book value NFA $3,050,000 Book value assets $5,430,000

(b)

Market value CA $1,700,000 Market value NFA $3,950,000 Market value assets $5,650,000

$7,975,000

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid – Net new equity Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid – [(Commonend + APISend) – (Commonbeg + APISbeg)] Cash flow to stockholders = $640,000 – [($865,000 + 7,750,000) – ($950,000 + 6,100,000)] Cash flow to stockholders = $-925,000 Note, APIS is the additional paid-in surplus 9. Jetson Spacecraft Corp. shows the following information on its 2009 income statement: sales = $212,000;

costs = $92,000; other expenses = $5,300; depreciation expense = $8,900; interest expense = $14,700; taxes = $31,885; dividends = $10,200. In addition, you're told that the firm issued $7,900 in new equity during 2009 and redeemed $9,500 in outstanding long-term debt.

(a) What is the 2009 operating cash flow? 82,815

(b) What is the 2009 cash flow to creditors? 24,200

(c) What is the 2009 cash flow to stockholders? 2,300

(d) If net fixed assets increased by $22,000 during the year, what was the addition to NWC? 25,415 rev: 09_17_2012 Explanation:

(a) To find the OCF, we first calculate net income.

Income Statement Sales $212,000 Costs 92,000 Other expenses 5,300 Depreciation 8,900 EBIT $105,800 Interest 14,700 Taxable income $91,100 Taxes 31,885 Net income $59,215 Dividends $10,200 Additions to RE $49,015

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes = $105,800 + 8,900 – 31,885 = $82,815

(b) CFC = Interest – Net new LTD = $14,700 – (–9,500) = $24,200

(c) CFS = Dividends – Net new equity = $10,200 – 7,900 = $2,300

(d) We know that CFA = CFC + CFS, so: CFA = $24,200 + 2,300 = $26,500

CFA is also equal to OCF – Net capital spending – Change in NWC. We already know OCF. Net capital spending is equal to:

Net capital spending = Increase in NFA + Depreciation = $22,000 + 8,900 = $30,900 Now we can use: CFA = OCF – Net capital spending – Change in NWC

$26,500 = $82,815 – 30,900 – Change in NWC Solving for the change in NWC gives $25,415, meaning the company increased its NWC by $25,415. 10. Papa Roach Exterminators, Inc., has sales of $694,000, costs of $295,000, depreciation expense of

$56,000, interest expense of $24,000, and a tax rate of 35 percent. The firm paid out $109,000 in cash dividends, and has 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

(a) What is the earnings per share, or EPS, figure? 10.37 (b) What is the dividends per share figure? 5.45 rev: 09_17_2012 Explanation:



EPS = Net income / Shares = $207,350 / 20,000 = $10.37 per share DPS = Dividends / Shares = $109,000 / 20,000 = $5.45 per share 11. The Lakeside Inn had operating cash flow of $48,450. Depreciation was $6,700 and interest paid was $2,480. A net

26,026.46 ± 0.1%

Investment Y $ 26,482.03 ± 0.1%

Explanation: To find the PVA, we use the equation: PVA = C({1 − [1/(1 + r)t]} / r) At a 5 percent interest rate: X@5%: PVA = $5,800{[1 − (1/1.05)8 ] / 0.05 } = $37,486.63 Y@5%: PVA = $7,900{[1 − (1/1.05)5 ] / 0.05 } = $34,202.87 And at a 15 percent interest rate: X@15%: PVA = $5,800{[1 − (1/1.15)8 ] / 0.15 } = $26,026.46 Y@15%: PVA = $7,900{[1 − (1/1.15)5 ] / 0.15 } = $26,482.03 Notice that the PV of cash flow X has a greater PV at a 5 percent interest rate, but a lower PV at a 15 percent interest rate. The reason is that X has greater total cash flows. At a lower interest rate, the total cash flow is more important since the cost of waiting (the interest rate) is not as great. At a higher interest rate, Y is more valuable since it has larger cash flows. At the higher interest rate, these bigger cash flows early are more important since the cost of waiting (the interest rate) is so much greater.

Dinero Bank offers you a $53,000, four-year term loan an annual interest rate of 7 percent. What will your annual loan payment be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Annual loan payment $

15,647.09 ± 0.1%

Explanation: Here we have the PVA, the length of the annuity, and the interest rate. We want to calculate the annuity payment. Using the PVA equation: PVA = C({1 − [1/(1 + r)t]} / r) $53,000 = C{[1 − (1/1.07004)] / 0.0700} We can now solve this equation for the annuity payment. Doing so, we get: C = $53,000 / 3.38721 = $15,647.09 Calculator Solution: Note: Intermediate answers are shown below as rounded, but the full answer was used to complete the calculation.

At what interest rate would this be a fair deal? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Interest rate 7.29 ± 1%

% Explanation: Here we need to find the interest rate that equates the perpetuity cash flows with the PV of the cash flows. Using the PV of a perpetuity equation: PV = C / r $480,000 = $35,000 / r We can now solve for the interest rate as follows: r = $35,000 / $480,000 = 0.0729, or 7.29%

Which one of the following accurately defines a perpetuity?

a limited number of equal payments paid in even time increments

payments of equal amounts that are paid irregularly but indefinitely

varying amounts that are paid at even intervals forever

unending equal payments paid at equal time intervals

unending equal payments paid at either equal or unequal time intervals

Is the yield to maturity on a bond the same thing as the required return? Is YTM the same thing as the coupon rate? Suppose today a 10 percent coupon bond sells at par. Two years from now, the required return on the same bond is 8 percent. What is the coupon rate on the bond? Coupon rate 10

% What is the YTM on the bond? YTM 8

% Explanation: The yield to maturity is the required rate of return on a bond expressed as a nominal annual interest rate. For noncallable bonds, the yield to maturity and required rate of return are interchangeable terms. Unlike YTM and required return, the coupon rate is not a return used as the interest rate in bond cash flow valuation, but is a fixed percentage of par over the life of the bond used to set the coupon payment amount. For the example given, the coupon rate on the bond is still 10 percent, and the YTM is 8 percent.
