Seth Fitch owns a small retail ice cream parlor. He is considering expanding the business and has identified two attractive alte

rnatives. One involves purchasing a machine that would enable Mr. Fitch to offer frozen yogurt to customers. The machine would cost $7,980 and has an expected useful life of three years with no salvage value. Additional annual cash revenues and cash operating expenses associated with selling yogurt are expected to be $6,080 and $800, respectively. Alternatively, Mr. Fitch could purchase for $9,720 the equipment necessary to serve cappuccino. That equipment has an expected useful life of four years and no salvage value. Additional annual cash revenues and cash operating expenses associated with selling cappuccino are expected to be $8,300 and $2,260, respectively. Income before taxes earned by the ice cream parlor is taxed at an effective rate of 20 percent.

Answer:

* For the machine investment decision:

  + Payback period: 1.68 years

  + Unadjusted rate of return: 26.27%

* For the equipment investment decision:

  + Payback period: 1.83 years

  + Unadjusted rate of return: 29.71%

Explanation:

<u>* For the machine investment decision:</u>

Payback calculation:

+ Incremental  in yearly cashflow = ( Increase in revenue - Increase in operating expenses ) x ( 1 - tax rate) + Tax shield from increase in depreciation (which is Depreciation in one year x Tax rate) = (6080 - 800 ) * 0.8 + (7980/3)*0.2 = $4756

+ Payback period = Increase in yearly cashflow / Initial investment = 7980 /4756 = 1.68 years

Unadjusted rate of return:

+ Increamental profit in one-year= ( Increase in revenue - Increase in operating expenses - Increase in depreciation) x ( 1 - tax rate) = (6080 - 800 - 7980/3) * 0.8 = $2096

+ Unadjusted rate of return = Increamental profit in one-year / Initial investment = 2096 / 7980 = 26.27%

<u>* For the equipment investment decision:</u>

Payback calculation:

+ Incremental  in yearly cashflow = ( Increase in revenue - Increase in operating expenses ) x ( 1 - tax rate) + Tax shield from increase in depreciation (which is Depreciation in one year x Tax rate) = (8300 - 2260 ) * 0.8 + (9720/4)*0.2 = $5318

+ Payback period = Increase in yearly cashflow / Initial investment = 9720 /5318 = 1.83 years

Unadjusted rate of return:

+ Increamental profit in one-year= ( Increase in revenue - Increase in operating expenses - Increase in depreciation) x ( 1 - tax rate) = (8300 - 2260 - 9720/4) * 0.8 = $2888

+ Unadjusted rate of return = Increamental profit in one-year / Initial investment = 2888 / 9720 = 29.71%

Paul [167]

Answer:

a.

Excess return for Zynga today will be -3.38%

b.

Excess return on P&G today will be -1.04%

Explanation:

The excess return is the return earned above/beyond the benchmark return. This benchmark can be set at either the risk free rate or any other stock or portfolio's return.

The return on a stock is usually calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM considers risk free rate, the return on market and the stock's beta to calculate the expected return on a stock.

The market always has a beta of 1. Beta is the measure of the volatility of stock returns. If the excess return on the market falls or rises, the effect of this on a stock's excess return will be based on its beta.

a.

The excess return of Zynga today will be =  -2.6% * 1.3   = -3.38%

b.

The excess return of P&G today will be =  -2.6% * 0.4   = -1.04%

-BARSIC- [3]

The cash proceeds the company will receive when the bonds mature equal $46866.

When bonds are redeemed at maturity, they are always redeemed at face value since by then any bond discount or the premium would have become zero, plus the last interest payment.

Cash proceeds = Maturity amount + interset

                        = $46,000 + ($46,000 x 7% x 1/2) assuming semi-annual interest payments

                        = $46,000 + $1,365 = $47,365

Cash proceeds = Maturity amount + interset

                        = $43,800 + ($43,800 x 7%) assuming annual interest payments

                        = $43800 + $3066 = $46866
