Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A) Looney Landscaping will receive $187,500,000 (= $12.50 x 15,000,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be $11,250,000 (= ($13.25 - $12.50) x 15,000,000 shares)

B) Looney Landscaping will receive $166,260,000 (= ($12.50 - $0.275) x 13,600,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be $3,740,000 (= $0.275 x 13,600,000 shares)

If the stocks are sold at $11.95 per share, then Looney Landscaping will receive $158,780,000 (= ($11.95 - $0.275) x 13,600,000 shares)

The bank's profit will be the same, $3,740,000

Consider a $10,000 machine that will reduce pretax operating costs by $3,000 per year over a 5-year period. Assume no changes in

ki77a [65]

Answer:

A) $83

Explanation:

First, find aftertax OCF per year

aftertax OCF = (Operating benefit - depreciation)*(1-tax) +depreciation

Depreciation per year = 10,000/5 = 2,000

Tax = 34%

aftertax OCF per year = (3,000 - 2,000)*(1-0.34) + 2,000

= 660 +2,000

= 2,660

Next, find the PV of the aftertax OCF per year. It is an annuity;

PMT = 2,660

N = 5

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = 10,083.493

Subtract the initial cost of the machine to find the Net Present Value (NPV);

NPV = -$10,000 + $10,083.493

NPV = $83.493
