Major Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annu

al increase in cash flow of $130,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $665,000 and have an 8-year life. The equipment has no salvage value. The hurdle rate is 8%. Ignore income taxes. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.)
a. What is the net present value?
b. What would the net present value be with a 12% hurdle rate? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Based on the NPV calculations, in what range would the equipment’s internal rate of return fall? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a. $ 82, 063

b. - $ 19,206

c.  11.24%

Explanation:

Net Present Value is calculated by taking the Present Day (Discounted) value of all future Net Cash flows based on the company`s Cost of Capital and subtracting the Initial Cost of the Investment.

<em>Using a Financial Calculation</em>

a.

Cash flow Amount

Cf0 = ($665,000)

Cf1  = $130,000

Cf2 = $130,000

Cf3 = $130,000

Cf4 = $130,000

Cf5 = $130,000

Cf6 = $130,000

Cf7 = $130,000

Cf8 = $130,000

i = 8%

NPV = $ 82, 063

b.

Cash flow Amount

Cf0 = ($665,000)

Cf1  = $130,000

Cf2 = $130,000

Cf3 = $130,000

Cf4 = $130,000

Cf5 = $130,000

Cf6 = $130,000

Cf7 = $130,000

Cf8 = $130,000

i = 12%

NPV = - $ 19,206

c.

Internal Rate of Return = P  + ((N-P)×p/(p+n))

                                      = 8% + ((12%-8%)×$ 82, 063/($ 82, 063+ $ 19,206))

                                      = 11.24%

You are asked to recommend whether a firm should make or purchase product A. The following are data concerning the two options.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For the purchase​ option:

Buying price= ​$22 per unit.

For the make​ option:

Weekly rental payment of ​$30,800

The firm also has to hire five operators to help make product A. Each operator works eight hours per​ day, five days per week at the rate of ​$14 per hour.

The material cost for the make option is ​$15 per unit of product A.

A) We need to find the number of units that makes the unitary fixed costs= $7

Weekly rental= 30800

Direct labor= ($14*8 hours*5workes)*5 days= 2800

Total fixed costs= $33,600

Unitary fixed costs= total fixed costs/ Q

7=33600/Q

Q= 4800 units

B) Now Q= 6600

Buy= 6600*22= $145,200

Make= 6600*15 + 33600= $132,600

You work for a leveraged buyout firm and are evaluating a potential buyout of UnderWater Company.​ UnderWater's stock price is $
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a. The shareholders will want to tender their shares.

c.  The gain will be $25.31 million – $23.44 million = $1.87 million.

Explanation:

a. The value of the firm is 1.25 million shares* 15= $18.75 million.

Increase in value, 18.75*135% = $25.31 million, so now this is the value of the firm

If 50% of the shares are bought for $18.75 Million, you will buy 0.625 million shares, so the total amount that will be paid is $11.72 million.

Now, the money against shares will be borrowed as collateral. This means that the new value of the equity will be $25.31 million – $11.72 million = 13.59 million.

1.25 million shares are there so now the price of the share will be  =  $10.87 million ($13.59 million/$1.25 million = $ 10.87 million).

b.The price of the shares has decreased from $13.59 to $10.87 after the tender offer, everyone will want to tender their shares for $18.75.

c. Supposing everyone tenders the shares and you will buy at $18.75 per share, you will pay $23.44 (18.75 per share *1.25 million shares) to acquire the company and it will be worth $25.31 million.

The gain will be $25.31 million – $23.44 million = $1.87 million.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The semi annual rate is 4.88%

Explanation:

semi annual rate = [((1+r)^(1/n)) -1]

                            =  [((1+10%)^(1/2)) -1]

                            = 4.88%

Therefore, the semi-annual rate (i.e. periodic return per six months) do you require (i.e. need to earn such that this implies 10% earned per year when you get to compound semi-annually) is 4.88%.
