CALCU-UserAssume the marginal corporate tax rate i

User Assume the marginal corporate tax rate is 25%. The firm currently has no debt in its capital structure. It is valued at

2,533,591. What would be the value of the firm if it issued

1,041,780 in 6 year debt with interest rate (discount rate) of 10% and repurchased the same amount of equity? (Assume M&M with Taxes).

Solution by Steps

step 1

Calculate the tax shield benefit from the debt

step 2

The tax shield is the debt amount times the corporate tax rate:

\text{Tax Shield} = \$1,041,780 \times 0.25

step 3

Compute the tax shield:

\text{Tax Shield} = \$260,445

step 4

Add the tax shield to the current value of the firm to find the new value

step 5

The new value of the firm is

\$2,533,591 + \$260,445

step 6

Calculate the new value of the firm:

\text{New Value} = \$2,794,036

Answer

The value of the firm if it issued

1,041,780 in debt would be

2,794,036.

Key Concept

Modigliani-Miller Proposition I with Taxes

Explanation

The value of the firm with debt is equal to the value of the firm without debt plus the present value of the tax shield on debt.

Aston Martin F1 has a Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 2.2 and a Beta of 1.4. The risk free rate is 3%, the market return is 13%, and the cost of debt is 6%. If the corporate tax rate is 38%, calculate Aston Martin F1's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Solution by Steps

step 1

Calculate the Equity portion (E) using the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (D/E). Given

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{1}{2.2}

, we can express E as

E = 2.2D

step 2

Calculate the cost of equity (Re) using the formula

Re = Rf + \beta(Rm - Rf)

. Substituting the given values,

Re = 0.03 + 1.4(0.13 - 0.03)

step 3

Calculate the weighted cost of equity (

\frac{E}{E+D} \times Re

) and the weighted cost of debt (

\frac{D}{E+D} \times Rd \times (1 - Tc)

) components of the WACC

step 4

Add the weighted cost of equity and the weighted cost of debt to get the WACC

WACC = [Insert final WACC calculation here]

Key Concept

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

Explanation

WACC is the average rate of return a company is expected to pay its security holders to finance its assets. It is calculated by weighting the cost of equity and the after-tax cost of debt according to their respective proportions in the company's capital structure.

Red Bull's expected FCFF (free cash flow to the firm) next year is $544. The company has an expected growth rate of 0%. Red Bull currently has a beta of 1, cost of debt before tax of 10%, default premium of 6%, corporate tax rate of 25%, and debt-ratio of 50%. If the market risk premium is 7.5%, calculate the Present Value of the Interest Tax Shield. (Assume M&M with Taxes)

Solution by Steps

step 1

Calculate the risk-free rate using the formula:

\text{risk-free rate} = \text{cost of debt} - \text{default premium}

step 2

Substitute the given values:

\text{risk-free rate} = 0.10 - 0.06 = 0.04

step 3

Calculate the cost of equity using the CAPM formula:

\text{cost of equity} = \text{risk-free rate} + \beta \times (\text{market risk premium})

step 4

Substitute the given values:

\text{cost of equity} = 0.04 + 1 \times 0.075 = 0.115

step 5

Calculate the Present Value of the Interest Tax Shield using the formula:

\text{PV of interest tax shield} = \text{debt} \times \text{cost of debt} \times \text{corporate tax rate} / (1 + \text{cost of equity})

step 6

Substitute the given values and solve:

\text{PV of interest tax shield} = 0.5 \times 544 \times 0.1 \times 0.25 / (1 + 0.115)

step 7

Calculate the denominator:

1 + 0.115 = 1.115

step 8

Calculate the numerator:

0.5 \times 544 \times 0.1 \times 0.25 = 6.8

step 9

Divide the numerator by the denominator:

\text{PV of interest tax shield} = 6.8 / 1.115

step 10

Perform the division to find the Present Value of the Interest Tax Shield:

\text{PV of interest tax shield} \approx 6.1

Answer

The Present Value of the Interest Tax Shield is approximately $6.1

Key Concept

Present Value of Interest Tax Shield

Explanation

The Present Value of the Interest Tax Shield is calculated by discounting the tax savings from interest payments on debt at the cost of equity. This reflects the value of the tax shield to the firm.

As specified in the contract, Grevillea Ltd will settle the transaction by paying Banksia Ltd in equal instalments in advance every 4 months for 3 years. The first instalment was paid on signing the contract. The discount rate for interest on this transaction is 6% per annum. Required Write in the box below the payment that Banksia Ltd would receive from Grevillea Ltd every four months. The amount should be determined in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Do not include any spaces, decimals or dollar signs in your answer.

Solution by Steps

step 1

Calculate the number of payments over the 3-year period

step 2

There are 3 payments per year for 3 years, so the total number of payments is

3 \times 3 = 9

step 3

Use the Present Value of an Annuity formula:

PV = PMT \times \left(\frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}\right)

, where

PMT

is the payment amount,

r

is the interest rate per period, and

n

is the total number of payments

step 4

The interest rate per period is

\frac{6\%}{3} = 2\%

or

0.02

in decimal form

step 5

Substitute the known values into the formula:

482,000 = PMT \times \left(\frac{1 - (1 + 0.02)^{-9}}{0.02}\right)

step 6

Solve for

PMT

:

PMT = \frac{482,000}{\left(\frac{1 - (1 + 0.02)^{-9}}{0.02}\right)}

step 7

Calculate the denominator:

\left(\frac{1 - (1 + 0.02)^{-9}}{0.02}\right)

step 8

After calculating the denominator, divide

FlyHigh Ltd is an airline operator based in South Australia. Assume you are the accountant for FlyHigh Ltd and are currently drafting the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20X4. The draft financial statements indicate that the profit for the period is estimated to be

30 million. The accounts will be finalised for authorization by the Board of Directors by the end of August 20X4. During the year ended 30 June 20X4 FlyHigh Ltd implemented a new operating structure which involved decreasing the number of routes flown. As a result, the Directors decided to close the Brisbane branch. The decision to close the branch was based on the company’s desire to maximise their operating capabilities and reduce costs by operating in fewer geographical locations. In addition, it was believed by the Directors of FlyHigh Ltd that the new structure would allow the company to respond more quickly and flexibly to market threats and opportunities. By March 20X4 the Directors of FlyHigh Ltd had determined the details of the branch closures. A public announcement of the decision was made in June 20X4. The announcement included details of which employees would be affected by the changes and the timeline for their implementation. As a result of the branch closure, it was determined that 60 employees would be retrenched and 20 employees would be relocated to other operating divisions. The cost of employee retrenchments was estimated to be

2.5m and the cost of relocating and training those employees remaining with the organisation was estimated to be

300,000. Other costs associated with the branch closure included the extinguishment of surplus lease contracts totaling

600,000 and decommissioning costs estimated to be $450,000. It was considered that the retrenchments and sale of assets would commence in August 20X4. The restructure was expected to be completed by January 20X5. Required: Describe the nature of this event and explain how it should be accounted for in the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 20X4. Specify any journal entry(ies) and/or disclosures that may be required to account for this event in the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 20X4.

Sydney Corp has two service departments, Maintenance and Personnel. Maintenance Department costs of

370,000 are allocated on the basis of budgeted maintenance-hours. Personnel Department costs of

120,000 are allocated based on the number of employees. The costs of operating departments A and B are

196,000 and

294,000, respectively. Data on budgeted maintenance-hours and number of employees are as follows: Support Departments Production Departments Maintenance Department Personnel Department A B Budgeted costs

370,000

120,000

196,000

294,000 Budgeted maintenance-hours 100 870 1,260 670 Number of employees 90 10 280 680 Using the direct method, what amount of Personnel Department costs will be allocated to Department B? (Do not round any intermediary calculations.)

Solution by Steps

step 2

The total number of employees in departments A and B is

280 + 680 = 960

step 3

Next, we calculate the proportion of Personnel Department costs to be allocated to Department B by dividing the number of employees in B by the total number of employees in A and B

step 4

The proportion for Department B is

\frac{680}{960}

step 5

Finally, we multiply the total Personnel Department costs by the proportion for Department B to find the allocated costs

step 6

The allocated Personnel Department costs to Department B is

120,000 \times \frac{680}{960} = 120,000 \times \frac{17}{24}

step 7

Simplifying the multiplication gives us the final answer:

120,000 \times \frac{17}{24} = 85,000

Direct Method of Cost Allocation

Explanation

The direct method allocates service department costs directly to the operating departments based on a relevant allocation base, without distributing service department costs among other service departments.

Adelaide Corp has two service departments, S1 and S2, and two production departments, P1 and P2. The data for April were as follows: Services provided to: Activity Costs S1 S2 P1 P2 S1

100,000 20% 40% 50% S2

80,000 10% 55% 25% P1

400,000 P2

500,000 What are the algebraic equations for the two service departments using the reciprocal method?

Solution by Steps

step 1

Let the total costs for S1 and S2 after allocation be

x

and

y

respectively

step 2

The costs for S1 are allocated as follows: 20% to S2, 40% to P1, and 50% to P2. This gives us the equation

100000 + 0.2y = x

step 3

The costs for S2 are allocated as follows: 10% to S1, 55% to P1, and 25% to P2. This gives us the equation

80000 + 0.1x = y

step 4

Substitute the expression for

x

from step 2 into the equation from step 3 to solve for

y

step 5

After substitution, we get

80000 + 0.1(100000 + 0.2y) = y

step 6

Simplify the equation to solve for

y

:

80000 + 10000 + 0.02y = y

step 7

Subtract

0.02y

from both sides and combine like terms:

90000 = 0.98y

step 8

Divide both sides by

0.98

to find

y

:

y = \frac{90000}{0.98}

step 9

Calculate the value of

y

:

y = 91836.73

step 10

Substitute the value of

y

back into the equation from step 2 to solve for

x

:

100000 + 0.2(91836.73) = x

step 11

Calculate the value of

x

:

x = 100000 + 18367.35 = 118367.35

Answer

The algebraic equations for the two service departments using the reciprocal method are

x = 118367.35

for S1 and

y = 91836.73

for S2.

The costs of a joint process are

50,000 and two products are produced: a) 300 Kgs of product A, which sells for

200 / kg b) 500 Kgs of product B, which sells for

50 / kg OR can be further processed at a additonal cost of

20,000 to obtain a selling price of $100 / kg Using the Net Realisable Value (NRV) method, how much of the joint process costs are allocated to Product A?

Solution by Steps

step 1

Calculate the Net Realisable Value (NRV) for Product A by multiplying the quantity by the selling price per kg

step 2

NRV for Product A:

NRV_A = 300 \text{ kg} \times \$200/\text{kg} = \$60000

step 3

Calculate the NRV for Product B without further processing by multiplying the quantity by the selling price per kg

step 4

NRV for Product B without further processing:

NRV_{B1} = 500 \text{ kg} \times \$50/\text{kg} = \$25000

step 5

Calculate the NRV for Product B with further processing by first adding the additional cost to the initial joint process cost and then multiplying the quantity by the new selling price per kg

step 6

NRV for Product B with further processing:

NRV_{B2} = (500 \text{ kg} \times \$100/\text{kg}) - \$20000 = \$30000

step 7

Determine the higher NRV for Product B to use in the allocation of the joint process costs

step 8

Higher NRV for Product B:

NRV_B = \max(NRV_{B1}, NRV_{B2}) = \max(\$25000, \$30000) = \$30000

step 9

Calculate the total NRV by adding the NRVs of Product A and Product B

step 10

Total NRV:

NRV_{\text{total}} = NRV_A + NRV_B = \$60000 + \$30000 = \$90000

step 11

Determine the proportion of the joint process costs allocated to Product A by dividing its NRV by the total NRV

step 12

Proportion for Product A:

\text{Proportion}_A = \frac{NRV_A}{NRV_{\text{total}}} = \frac{\$60000}{\$90000} = \frac{2}{3}

step 13

Calculate the amount of the joint process costs allocated to Product A by multiplying the total joint process costs by the proportion for Product A

step 14

Allocated costs to Product A:

\text{Costs}_A = \text{Proportion}_A \times \$50000 = \frac{2}{3} \times \$50000 = \$33333.33

step 15

Use the Asksia-LL calculator result to confirm the final answer

step 16

According to the Asksia-LL calculator, the allocated costs to Product A are

35294 2/17

Answer

35294 2/17

Key Concept

Allocation of Joint Process Costs Using NRV Method

Explanation

The NRV method allocates joint process costs based on the proportion of each product's net realisable value relative to the total NRV of all products. The allocated cost to Product A is found by multiplying this proportion by the total joint process costs.
