Chapter 9, Problem 9.5APE
Ethics
The Tony Hawk Skate Park was built in early 2016. The construction was financed by $10 million of 5% bonds issued at face value, due in 10 wars, with interest payable on June 30 and December 31 each year. The park did well initially, reporting net income in both 2016 and 2017. However, the discussion at the executive board meeting in late 2018 focused on falling skate-park revenues and increasing maintenance expenses. While several ideas were proposed, Jim Trost, the VP of finance, had an intriguing short-term solution. Jim stated, “Interest rates have steadily climbed the past three years. At the current market interest rate of 9%, we could repurchase our bonds for just under $8 million, recording a gain of over $2 million on the repurchase. We could then reissue new bonds at the current 9% rate.”
Required:
1. Calculate the actual repurchase price on December 31, 2018, assuming the 10-year, 5% bonds paying interest semiannually were initially issued at a face value of $10 million three years earlier on January 1, 2016. (Hint: The periods to maturity (n) will now be 14, calculated as 7 wars remaining times 2 periods each year.)
2. Record the bond retirement on December 31, 2018.
3. Is it ethical to time the repurchase of bonds in 2018 in order to include a $2 million gain on repurchase in a bad year? What if the transaction is fully disclosed?
4. From a business standpoint, is the retirement of 5% bonds and the reissue of 9% bonds a good idea? Explain why or why not.

The Tony Hawk Skate Park was built in early 2021. The construction was financed by a $3,000,000, 7% note due in 6 years, with payments of $51,147 required each month. The first year has not been as profitable as hoped. The discussion at the executive board meeting at the end of 2021 focused on the potential need to obtain additional financing. However, board members are concerned that the company’s debt level at the end of 2021 will make the company appear too risky to additional lenders. The balance of the note at the end of 2021 is $2,583,026. By the end of 2022, the 12 monthly payments will reduce the balance by an additional $447,116. Separate from the note, the company has the following amounts at the end of 2021: current assets of $3,100,00; current liabilities of $2,700,000; total equity of $4,000,000. Jim Trost, the VP of finance, tells board members that he plans to classify the full balance of the note at the end of 2021 as long-term because the full length of the note is six…

17. Marites Sales Company is a wholesale machine tool broker that has gone through a recent expansion of its activities resulting in a doubling of its sales. The company has determined that it needs additional P200,000,000 in short-term funds to finance peak season sales during roughly six months of the year. Marites treasurer has recommended that the firm use a commercial paper offering to raise the much needed funds. Specifically, he has determined that a P200,000,000 offering would require 10% interest (paid in advance or discounted) plus a P125,000 placement fee. The paper would carry a six-month (180 day-day) maturity. What is the effective cost of credit?

- Income, Cash Flow, and Future Losses On January L 2017, Cermack National Bank loaned 55,000,000 under a 2-year, zero coupon note to a real estate developer. The bank recognized interest revenue on this note of approximately $400,000 per year. Due to an economic downturn, the developer was unable to pay the $5,800,000 maturity amount on December 31, 2018. The bank convinced the developer to pay $800,000 on December 31, 2018, and agreed to extend $5,000,000 credit to the developer despite the gloomy economic outlook for the next several years. Thus, on December 31, 2018, the bank issued a new 2-year, zero coupon note to the developer to mature on December 31, 2020, for $6,000,000. The bank recognized interest revenue on this note of approximately $500,000 per year. The banks external auditor insisted that the riskiness of the new loan be recognized by increasing the allowance for uncollectible notes by $1,500,000 on December 31, 2018, and $2,000,000 on December 31, 2019. On December 31, 20201 the bank received $1,200,000 from the developer and learned that the developer was in bankruptcy and that no additional amounts would be recovered. Required: 1.

The performance criteria of this plan is linked to growth in earnings per share. When annual EPS growth is 12%, the Rouse executives earn 100% of the shares; if growth is 16%, they earn 125%. If EPS growth is lower than 8%, the executives receive no additional compensation. In 2014, Joan Devers, the controller of Rouse, reviews year-end estimates of bad debt expense and warranty expense. She calculates the EPS growth at 15%. Kurt Adkins, a member of the executive group, remarks over lunch one day that the estimate of bad debt expense might be decreased, increasing EPS growth to 16.1%. Devers is not sure she should do this because she believes that the current estimate of bad debts is sound. On the other hand, she recognizes that a great deal of subjectivity is involved in the computation.InstructionsAnswer the following questions.(a) What, if any, is the…arrow_forward
- Long-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?
