27) You are evaluating the balance sheet for Campus Corporation. From the balance sheet you find the following balances: cash and marketable securities = $400,000, accounts receivable = $200,000, inventory = $100,000, accrued wages and taxes = $10,000, accounts payable = $300,000, and notes payable = $600,000. What is Campus’s net working capital?

1. A) –$210,000
2. B) $700,000
3. C) $910,000
4. D) $1,610,000

 

Answer:  A

Explanation:  net working capital = current assets – current liabilities.

 

Cypress’s current assets	=
Cash and marketable securities	=	$	400,000
Accounts receivable	=	$	200,000
Inventory	=	$	100,000
Total current assets	=	$	700,000
Accrued wages and taxes	=	$	10,000
Accounts payable	=	$	300,000
Notes payable	=	$	600,000
Total current liabilities		$	910,000

 

 

So the firm’s net working capital is −$210,000 ($700,000 − $910,000).

28) Jack and Jill Corporation’s year-end 2018 balance sheet lists current assets of $250,000, fixed assets of $800,000, current liabilities of $195,000, and long-term debt of $300,000. What is Jack and Jill’s total stockholders’ equity?

1. A) $495,000
2. B) $555,000
3. C) $1,050,000
4. D) There is not enough information to calculate total stockholders’ equity.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  Recall the balance sheet identity in Equation 2-1: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Rearranging this equation: Equity = Assets − Liabilities. Thus, the balance sheets would appear as follows:

 

 

Book value					Book value
Assets						Liabilities and Equity
Current assets	$	250,000				Current liabilities	$	195,000
Fixed assets		800,000				Long—term debt		300,000
						Stockholder’s equity		555,000

30) Consider a firm with an EBIT of $500,000. The firm finances its assets with $2,000,000 debt (costing 6 percent) and 50,000 shares of stock selling at $20.00 per share. To reduce the firm’s risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $1,000,000 by selling an additional 50,000 shares of stock. The firm is in the 40 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain $500,000. What is the change in the firm’s EPS from this change in capital structure?

1. A) decrease EPS by $1.68
2. B) decrease EPS by $1.92
3. C) decrease EPS by $3.20
4. D) increase EPS by $0.72

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  Using the setup of an Income Statement in Example 2.2:

 

 

	Before Capital					After Capital
	Structure Change					Structure Change
Change
EBIT		$	500,000				$	500,000
−Interest ($2,000,000 × 0.06)			120,000
−Interest ($1,000,000 × 0.06)								60,000
EBT		$	380,000				$	440,000
−Taxes (40%)			152,000					176,000
Net Income		$	228,000				$	264,000
Divide # of Shares			50,000					100,000
EPS		$	4.56				$	2.64

 

 

The change in capital structure would dilute the stockholders’ EPS by $1.92.

To reduce the firm’s risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $5,000,000 by selling an additional 100,000 shares of stock.

33) Eccentricity, Inc. had $300,000 in 2018 taxable income. Using the tax schedule from Table 2.3, what are the company’s 2018 income taxes, average tax rate, and marginal tax rate, respectively?

 

 

	Pay this amount on				Plus this percentage on
Taxable income	Base income				anything over the base
$0 – $50,000		$	0			15	%
$50,001 – $75,000		$	7,500			25	%
$75,001 – $100,000		$	13,750			34	%
$100,001 – $335,000		$	22,250			39	%
$335,000 – $10,000,000		$	113,900			34	%

 

 

7. A) $22,250, 7.42%, 39%
8. B) $78,000, 26.00%, 39%
9. C) $100,250, 33.42%, 39%
10. D) $139,250, 46.42%, 39%

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  From Table 2.3, the $300,000 of taxable income puts Eccentricity in the 39 percent marginal tax bracket. Thus,

Tax liability = Tax on base amount + Tax rate (amount over base): = $22,250 + .39 ($300,000 − $100,000) = $100,250

 

Note that the base amount is the maximum dollar value listed in the previous tax bracket. The average tax rate for Eccentricity Inc. comes to:

 

 

Average tax rate	=	$100,250
		$300,000
	=	33.4167%

 

If Eccentricity earned $1 more of taxable income, it would pay 39 cents (its tax rate of 39 percent) more in taxes. Thus, the firm’s marginal tax rate is 39 percent.

34) Swimmy, Inc. had $400,000 in 2018 taxable income. Using the tax schedule from Table 2.3, what are the company’s 2018 income taxes, average tax rate, and marginal tax rate, respectively?

 

 

	Pay this amount on				Plus this percentage on
Taxable income	Base income				anything over the base
$0 – $50,000		$	0				15	%
$50,001 – $75,000		$	7,500				25	%
$75,001 – $100,000		$	13,750				34	%
$100,001 – $335,000		$	22,250				39	%

5. A) $22,100, 5.53%, 34%
6. B) $113,900, 28.48%, 34%
7. C) $136,000, 34.00%, 34%
8. D) $136,000, 39.00%, 34%

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  From Table 2.3, the $400,000 of taxable income puts Swimmy in the 34 percent marginal tax bracket. Thus, Tax liability = Tax on base amount + Tax rate (amount over base): = $113,900 + 0.34 ($400,000 − $335,000) = $136,000

Note that the base amount is the maximum dollar value listed in the previous tax bracket. The average tax rate for Swimmy Inc. comes to:

 

 

Average tax rate	=	$136,000
		$400,000
	=	34%

46) Consider a $200 deposit earning 8 percent interest per year for three years. How much total interest is earned on interest (excluding interest earned on the original deposit)?

3. A) $3.94
4. B) $24.00
5. C) $48.00
6. D) $51.94

 

Answer:  A

Explanation:  PV = 200, N = 3, I = 8, PMT = 0, FV = 251.94.

$200 × 8 percent × 3 = $48.

$251.94 − $200 − $48 = $3.94.
