Answer:
To make it feasible it will need to operate 7 or more planes.
Explanation:
450,000 maintenance facility
useful life of 15 year
salvage value of 100,000
<u>saving cost per plane:</u>
third party cost - own facility cost = cost savings
35,000 - 25,000 = 10,000
present value of the salvage value: (present value of a lump sum)
salvage $ 100,000
time 15 years
Minimum accepter rate of return: 0.12000
PV 18,269.6261
present worth of the facility:
450,000- 18,268.63 = 431,731.37
Now we determinate the PMT over a 15 years period to know the cost savings per year to justify the facility:
PV 431,731
time 15
rate 0.12
C $ 63,388.630
As each plane cost savings are 10,000
63,388.62 / 10,000 = 6.39
the company will need to operate 7 or more planes.
Answer:
the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%
Explanation:
the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.
We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104
with excel or a financial calculator
PV of the coupon payment
C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)
time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV $99.4338
PV of the maturity
Maturity 100.00
time 60.00
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV 4.57
<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>
PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000
The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.
This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:
0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947
The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
