Answer:

A) 200 units

Explanation:

mean daily demand = 20 calculators

standard deviation = 4 calculators

lead time = 9 days

z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.96

normal consumption during lead-time:

= mean demand × lead time

= 20 × 9

= 180 calculators

safety stock = z × SD × √L

                    = 1.96 × 4 × √9

                    = 1.96 × 4 × 3

                    = 23.52 calculators

reorder point = normal consumption + safety stock

                       = 180 + 23.52

                       = 203.52 calculators

You are considering an investment in a startup that will cost $100,000 but you will receive a cash inflow of $25,000 every year
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Simple payback is 4 years

Total discounted Payback is more than the 5 years which is the payback cutoff period.

Explanation:

Payback period is the time period in which the project recovers the initial cost incurred. Lower the payback period the more beneficial will be the project.

Simple payback = $100,000 / $25,000 = 4 years

Discounted Payback

Discounted payback is calculated by using the present value of future cash flows.

Total discounted cash flows = 22935.78 + 21042.0 + 19304.59 + 17710.63 + 16248.28 = 97,241.28

As sum of all cash flows are less than the initial investment so, total discounted Payback is more than the 5 years which is the payback cutoff period.

g You will be receiving cash flows of: $2,000 today, $3,000 at end of year 1, $5,000 at end of year 3, and $7,000 at end of year
enot [183]

Answer:

The present value of the cashflows will be $12830.30

Explanation:

The present value of the cashflows can be calculated by dividing the cash flows by the appropriate discount rate and for the appropriate time period.

The present value of the given cash flows will be,

Present Value = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n

As the first payment is received today, it will already be in the present value so it will not be discounted.

Present value = 2000 + 3000 /  (1+0.1) + 5000 / (1+0.1)^3 + 7000 / (1+0.1)^5

Present value = $12830.295 rounded off to $12830.30

Whiteside Corporation issues $500,000 of 9% bonds, due in 10 years, with interest payable semiannually. At the time of issue, th
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$468,844 approx.

Explanation:

<u>Assumption</u>: <u>Since the question is incomplete, with the available information it has been construed that calculation of bond price is required and the question has been solved accordingl</u>y.

The price of a bond is the present value of future cash receipts it generates to the investor in the form of interest stream and principal stream.

B_{0} = \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} } \ + \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} }

wherein,

B_{0} = price of bond as on today

i = annual coupon payments

ytm= investor's expectation of interest or market rate of interest on similar bonds

RV = Redemption value of such bonds assumed to be the face value

n = term to maturity

B_{0} = \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} } \ + \frac{500000}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} }

B_{0}= 12.46221  × 22,500 + 0.376889 × 22,500 = 280,399.725 + 188444.5

B_{0} = $468,844 approx

This is the present value of the bond which is lower than it's face value because market rate of return of similar bonds is higher than the coupon rate of payment by Westside Corporation.

Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical companies except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

a-1.

Steinberg's debt:

Steinberg's equity:

a-2.

Dietrich's debt:

Dietrich's equity:

b. Disagree as the values of the two companies are the same ( please see below Explanation for further clarification)

Explanation:

It is clear to determine that the value of debt and equity of the two firms is the present value of cash flow received in 1 year, discounted at 12%.

a-1.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Steinberg will receive $910,000 regardless of its EBIT. -=> Thus, Steinberg's debt present value = 910,000 / 1.12 = $812,500

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Steinberg's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 910,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-910,000) = $2,270,000.

=> Thus, Steinberg's equity present value = $2,270,000/ 1.12 = $2,026,786

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E = 812,500 + 2,026,786 = $2,839,286 ( note: no tax applied)

a-2.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Dietrich will receive $1,200,000 when the business expands while only $1,100,000 when the business goes into recession (i.e business loss is 100,000):  0.8 x 1,200,000 + 0.2 x 1,100,000 = $1,180,000

=> Thus, Dietrich's debt present value = 1,180,000 / 1.12 = $1,053,571

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Dietrich's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 1,200,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-1,100,000) = $2,000,000.

=> Thus, Dietrich's equity present value = 2,000,000 / 1.12 = $1,785,714

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E =$1,053,571+$1,785,714  = $2,839,286( note: no tax applied)

a-3.

From the calculation, it is clear that the values of the two companies are the same.
