2. Calculate the intrinsic value of common stock for XYZ at January 1, year 1 given the
following:

Book value $70

Predicted earnings per share Years 1through 5 respectively:

$15, $12, 18, $22 and $15

Cost of capital: 10%

No residual income is expected for years 6 and after. No dividends are paid.
Would you buy this stock if it were trading at $110 per share?

The value of the stock will be determined by calculating present value of the future cash flows as
under:

Year Cash Flow PVF @ 10% Present Value


1 $ 15 0.909 $ 13.64
2 $ 12 0.826 $ 9.92
3 $ 18 0.751 $ 13.52
4 $ 22 0.683 $ 15.03
5 $ 85 0.621 $ 52.78
Value of Stock $ 104.88

Since the intrinsic value of stock is $ 104.88 per share and is trading as $110 per share, being
overvalued, buying of the stock is not recommended.

3. Define what each of the following SEC reports refers to:

Form 10-K: All the publicly traded companies are required to file Form 10-K with SEC. The

4. A company issues $1,000 ten-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6% on January 1, 2014.
Interest is paid at the end of the calendar year. What is the market price of the bonds on
January 1, 2018 assuming a market rate of interest 10%. Are the bonds trading at a
discount or premium and why?

Statement showing market value of the bonds:

Year Cash Flow PVF @ 10% Present Value


1 60 0.909 54.55
2 60 0.826 49.59
3 60 0.751 45.08
4 60 0.683 40.98
5 60 0.621 37.26

7 60 0.513 30.79
8 60 0.467 27.99
9 60 0.424 25.45
10 1060 0.386 408.68
Value of Bond $ 754.22
The Bonds market value is $ 754.22 and face value is $ 1000. Assuming the bonds are trading at
market value, the bonds are trading at discount.

5. Explain what the name “the political cost hypothesis” relates to in the earnings
management literature.

The Political Cost Hypothesis provides that the firms that are subject to government
investigation may have incentives to manage earnings in order to reduce the probability and/or
the amount of government-imposed wealth transfers. As per the Political costs hypothesis, it is
assumed that if managers are under political scrutiny, they are likely to adopt accounting
methods that reduce reported income

6. Given the following information:

Net Income $1,200,000

Preferred Stock, $100 par, 6%, 50,000 shares outstanding

Common Stock Outstanding, 100,000 shares (all year)

Total Common Dividends $200,000

Total Assets $10,000,000

Total Liabilities $3,000,000

Market Price Per Share $120

Calculate: (a) EPS (b) Dividend Yield (c) Market-to- Book Ratio (d) P/E ratio

a) EPS:
Formula = (Net Income – Preferred Dividend ) / Number of Common Shares O/s

Particulars Amount
Net Income (A) 1,200,000
Less: Preferred Stock Dividend (300,000)
(50000 x 100 x 6%) (B)
Earnings Available for Common Shareholders (A 900,000
- B = C)
Number of Shares Outstanding (D) 100,000
EPS (C / D) $ 9.00

b) Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend / Stock’s Price per Share


Annual Dividend = $ 200,000
Dividend Per Share = $ 200,000 / 100000 Shares = $ 2.00
Market Price per Share = $ 120
Dividend Yield = $ 2 / 120 = 1.67%
c) Market-to-Book Ratio
Market Price = $ 120
Book value =
Total Equity = Total Assets – Total Liabilities
= 10,000,000 - $ 3,000,000
= $ 7,000,000
Total Equity = Preferred Stock + Common Stock
$ 7,000,000 = $ 5,000,000 + Common Stock
Hence, Common Stock = $ 2,000,000
Number of Shares = 100,000
Book Value = $ 2,000,000 / 100000 = $ 20

Market to Book Ratio = $ 120 / 20 = 6 Times

d) P/E Ratio
P/E Ratio = Market Price per Share / Earnings per Share
= $ 120 / $ 9
= 13.33

7. What are the components of Comprehensive Income? What is the current treatment of
Comprehensive Income and why?

The comprehensive income includes Net Income (or loss) and Other Comprehensive income.
Other Comprehensive income includes, adjustments as to Foreign Currency translations,
unrealized gains / losses for pension and retirement benefit plans, Gains or losses from derivative
instruments, debt securities, available for sale securities, etc.

The comprehensive income does not form part of the income statement. The figures relating to
other comprehensive income is reported under shareholder’s equity in the balance sheet of the
company.

8. What constitutes Extraordinary Items? What was the treatment of 9/11 losses regarding
extraordinary items? Do you agree or disagree with this? What is the current treatment of
extraordinary items?

Such events or transactions which are abnormal or are not in relation to the ordinary activities of
the company and are not likely to occur / recur in foreseeable future are considered as
extraordinary items. Some of the extraordinary items includes, strikes, abandonment of property,
discontinued operations, etc.
The 9/11 losses were not treated as extraordinary event as stated by the FASB Board and the
impact was included as continuing business operations.

I do not agree with the treatment done, as it was not a recurring event, it is not likely to
occur/recur in foreseeable future and is not an event that can be said as ordinary.

Current treatment: Such events are required to be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial
statements.

9. Given the following:

Straight-line depreciation $40,000

Income Tax Expense (Financials)

Income Tax Payable (IRS)

Deferred Tax Asset or Liability

Is the Deferred Tax Asset/Liability current or noncurrent and why?

Depreciation is used for Income tax purposes.

Income Tax Expense:

Particulars Amount
Net Income 200,000
Less: Depreciation 40,000
Net Income before Tax 160,000
Income Tax Expense @ 25% 40000

Income Tax Payable

Particulars Amount

Deferred Tax Liability will be generated = ($ 80000 - $ 40000 ) x 25%
