Answer:

the equity beta of the firm is 1.134

Explanation:

The computation of the equity beta is shown below:

Equity beta is

= Asset beta × [1 + (1 - tax rate) × Debt-equity ratio]

= 0.9 × [1 + (1 - 0.35) × 0.4]

= 0 9 × 1.26

= 1.134

Hence, the equity beta of the firm is 1.134

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

Answer:

NPV: $180,285.49

IRR: 21.336%

simple rate of return: 72.13%

Explanation:

6,100,000 investment

contribution margin 3,000,000

fixed expense: 900,000

EBITA 2,100,000

We will calculate the NPV without the depreciation, as the depreciation is the distribution of the investment cost over the project life.

If we include the depreciation we will be counting the investment amount twice. Entirely at Time 0 and then subtracting on each cash inflow.

We will calculate the NPV at 20% as is the company's discount rate. Even if the current division returns are in 24% as the company accepts project which yields 20%.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 2,100,000

time 5 years

rate 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$2100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\$

PV $6,280,285.49

NPV = PV of cash inflow - investment

6,280,285.49 - 6,100,000 = 180,285.49

the IRR:

The internal rate of return is the rate at which the NPV of a priject is zero.

We calculate this using excel formula IRR

or a financial calculator

it could also be done with trial and error using the PV tables.

I will explain you in Excel

FIrst, you write the inflow and outflow per year:

-6,100,000

2,100,000

then we write on another cell:

=IRR(

then, select the cells

and press enter

21.336%

the simple rate of return:

(total return - investment) / investment

(2,100,000 x 5 - 6,100,000) / 6,100,000 =

4,400,000 / 6,100,000 = 0.721311475 = 72.13%

$167,400 TOTAL EQUITY

$275,400 TOTAL EQUITY + LIABILITIES

Explanation:

To complete the Total Current Assets is necessary to find the Short Term Investments, which is possible to know because the current ratio must be 1,6.

With this information it's possible to know that the total current Asssets are $110,400, and the Short Term Investments are $6,500.

To complete the Balance Sheet we need to know the total Retained Earnings that equilibrate the Accounting equation, that is $22,400.
