- The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of 12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be 1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndts federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndts expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndts depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndts depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why?arrow_forwardLong-Term Financing Needed At year-end 2018, Wallace Landscapings total assets were 2.17 million, and its accounts payable were 560,000. Sales, which in 2018 were 3.5 million, are expected to increase by 35% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to 625,000 in 2018, and retained earnings were 395,000. Wallace has arranged to sell 195,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 5%, and 45% of earnings will be paid out as dividends. a. What were Wallaces total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?

- Watson Oil recently reported (in millions) $8,250 of sales, $5,750 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,400 of depreciation. The company had $3,200 of outstanding bonds that carry a 5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate future sales and cash flows, the firm was required to make $1,250 of capital expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $300 in net operating working capital. By how much did the firm's net income exceed its free cash flow? Do not round the intermediate calculations.arrow_forwardColter Steel has $5,300,000 in assets.

If Ohio Quarry finances 20 percent of its total assets with debt capital, the pretax cost of funds is 13 percent. If the company finances 40 percent of its total assets with debt capital, the pretax cost of funds is 18 percent. Round your answers to the questions below to two decimal places. Determine the percentage change in ROE under each of the three capital structures (that is, debt ratios) as the result of a 30 percent decline in EBIT.

Currently half of these assets are financed with long-term debt at 10.1 percent and half with common stock having a par value of $8. Ms. Smith, Vice President of Finance, wishes to analyze two refinancing plans, one with more debt (D) and one with more equity (E). The company earns a return on assets before interest and taxes of 10.1 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent. Tax loss carryover provisions apply, so negative tax amounts are permissable. Under Plan D, a $3,005,000 million long-term bond would be sold at an interest rate of 12.1 percent and 375,625 shares of stock would be purchased in the market at $8 per share and retired. Under Plan E, 375,625 shares of stock would be sold at $8 per share and the $3,005,000 in proceeds would be used to reduce long-term debt. a. How would each of these plans affect earnings per share?
