Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Alexander and Akiko equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. Alexander is responsible for ANB's back-office activities, and Akiko staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision- making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. Alexander, without Akiko's knowledge, used the company's bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. Alexander has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business. Is this a potential agency conflict between Alexander and Akiko? A. Yes; Alexander is misappropriating some of Akiko's wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB's funds. B. No; Alexander and Akiko are both authorized to spend ANB's money, so no conflict of interest can occur. C. No; Alexander and Akiko co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist. D. Yes; it should have been Akiko who purchased the car. Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Five years ago, Tae created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Houston. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Houston. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Tae's family members, and selected outsiders. Tae is TGZ's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder. At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Tae and TGZ's management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group's proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ's value and riskiness. Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ's management and the small group of opposing shareholders? A. Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm's managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict. B. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Tae as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred. C. Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants. D. No; Tae was the original owner of TGz, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm's current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict. For the past 40 years, companies have attempted to attract, retain, and encourage managers by developing attractive compensation packages. These compensation packages have also been intended to reduce potential agency conflicts between these managers and the firm's shareholders. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the______value of the company's common stock price. In addition to well-designed executive compensation packages, two other motivational forces can align the interests of managers with those of their shareholders. Which of the following actions could be used to reduce the potential for these agency conflicts and ensure that the firm's managers will pursue the long-term wealth interests of their shareholders? In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely______conflicts between managers and stockholders.

Stockholder equity = Assets - Liabilities

= $435,000 - $326,000

= $109,000

b. The calculation of assets is shown below:-

Assets = Liabilities + Common stock + Retained earnings

= $250,000 + $100,000 + $85,000

= $435,000

Accel's income statement is a summary of the temporary accounts, which are not carried forward in the next accounting period.  They are used to calculate the profit performance of the consulting firm.  They include the revenues and the expenses incurred for generating the revenue.

Accel's statement of retained earnings shows the difference between the net income generated over the years for a business that has been in operation for years and the payouts from the net income in form of dividends to stockholders.  For Maria Gomez's consulting business, the retained earnings statement shows what is remaining after paying dividend for the month of December to Gomez.

Accel's balance sheet is the final financial statement that is needed to be prepared to show the financial position of the firm.  It shows what the firm owns as assets and the value that the firm owes other creditors for services not paid for or not yet rendered and the equity value for the stockholder, Maria.

Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?

Answers

Answer:

If the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

Explanation:

alternative 1:

initial outlay = $125,000

useful life 8 years

depreciation per year = ($125,000 - $5,000) / 8 = $15,000

costs:

$40 per day

maintenance $2,000 per year

total annual costs = $40x + $2,000

alternative 2:

$125 x 45 sites = $5,625

$20x

total annual costs = $5,625 + $20x

how large does x need to be in order for alternative 1 to be better using a 12% discount rate

cash flows

year 0 = ($125,000)

year 1 = $40x + $2,000 - $5,625 - $20x = $20x - $3,625  

year 2 = $20x - $3,625

year 3 = $20x - $3,625

year 4 = $20x - $3,625

year 5 = $20x - $3,625

year 6 = $20x - $3,625

year 7 = $20x - $3,625

year 8 = $20x - $3,625 + $5,000 = $20x + $1,375

I used the present value of an annuity formula, to determine the value of cash flow:

the PV annuity factor for 12% and 7 periods is 4.5638, so:

24,756.20 x 4.5638 = $112,982

$29,756.20 / (1.12⁸) = $12,018

total = $125,000

$20x - $3,625 = 24,756.20

$20x = $28,381.20

x = $28,381.20 / $20 = 1,419.06 days (including all 45 sites)

That means that if the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

This policy enables supervisors to get the equipment quickly and keep

Answers

Answer:

1.  Samson Auto Parts has weak internal controls.  - c. not a good separation of duties.

Samson Auto has weak internal controls because the same person being the bookkeeper, receives cash, records it and deposits it. This gives the bookkeeper the opportunity to commit fraud.

2. Liberty Dermatology Clinic has strong internal controls. - There is a good separation of duties.

There are various people handling the cash so Liberty has stronger controls. The mail clerk receives the money, the cashier deposits it and the accounting department records it. There is therefore less chance of fraud.

3. Scott Construction has strong internal controls. - Good separation of duties.

Construction supervisors first request equipment they need, and the home office does the purchasing and shipping. This separation of duties will help reduce fraud as the supervisors will not make fraudulent claims that will be untraceable.

4. Remington Home Construction has weak internal controls. Poor separation of duties.

At Remington, the supervisors may be able to commit fraud due to the lack of separation of their duties. They can purchase equipment needed and then get reimbursed when they do. This opens the door for fraudulent claims on the part of the supervisors so Remington does indeed have weak controls.

Acme Storage has a market capitalization of $100 million and debt outstanding of $40 million. Acme plans to maintain this same debt-equity ratio in the future. The firm pays an interest rate of 7.5% on its debt and has a corporate tax rate of 35%. show calculations
a. If Acme's free cash flow is expected to be $7 million next year and is expected to grow at a rate of 3% per year, what is Acme's WACC?
b. What is the value of Acme's interest tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

1. The Value of a levered firm can be calculated using WACC which means that if you have the Value, you can compute WACC.

The formula is;

Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)

Value of leveraged firm = Value of Equity + Value of Debt

= 100 + 40

= $140 million

Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)

140 = 7 ( WACC - 3%)

140 * WACC - 4.2 = 7

WACC = 0.08

= 8%

2. Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm

Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate

WACC before tax = WACC + (Debt/(Debt + Equity))*Cost of Debt*(Tax Rate)

= 8% + (40/ 140) * 7.5%(35%)

= 8.75%

Value of unleveraged  Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate

= 7 /( 8.75% - 3%)

= $121.74 million

= $122 million

Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm

= 140 - 122

= $18 million

sales volume                25,000           100,000      50,000

selling price                   $20                  $25             $10

variable cost                   $10                  $20             $6

total fixed costs                                                                          $500,000

contribution margin       $10                   $5               $4

weighted contribution margin = [(25,000 x $10) + (100,000 x $5) + (50,000 x $4)] / 175,000 = ($250,000 + $500,000 + $200,000) / 175,000 = $5.428571

break even point in units = $500,000 / $5.428571 = 92,105.26 ≈ 92,106 units

flowers: (25/175) x 92,106 = 13,158 units

dogs: (100/175) x 92,106 = 52,632 units

sports: (50/175) x 92,106 = 26,316 units

total = 92,106 units

break even point in $

flowers: 13,158 units x $20 = $263,160

dogs: 52,632 units x $25 = $1,315,800

sports: 26,316 units x $10 = $263,160

total = $1,842,120

currently total contribution margin is:

flowers: 25,000 units x $10 = $250,000

dogs: 100,000 units x $5 = $500,000

sports: 50,000 units x $4 = $200,000

total = $950,000

operating profit = $950,000 - $500,000 = $450,000

if the change is successful, then total contribution margin would be:

flowers: 100,000 units x $10 = $1,000,000

dogs: 50,000 units x $5 = $250,000

sports: 25,000 units x $4 = $100,000

total = $1,350,000

new operating profit = $1,350,000 - $500,000 = $850,000

So yes, I would recommend promoting the change in product mix to increase the sales of flower mugs in order to increase operating profit.

The company could issue preferred stock. The stock sells for RM105, however if new stock is issued, the company would receive only RM88. The par value of the stock is RM100 and the dividend is RM10. What is the cost of capital for the preferred stock to the company?

Answers

Answer: 11.36%

Explanation:

The Cost of capital is calculated as;

= (Dividend rate / Net Stock price) * 100
