Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Civil law system.

Explanation:

A civil law system is the type of legal regime in which the laws set must be literally followed in front of Court and cannot be modified in any sense by the judges. The role of judges under this regime is to dictate the facts of the trial and to come to a decision found in the civil law system.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price $1,080,000,
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?

  • = $1,102,500 + $15,500 = $1,118,000

b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?

  • NCF Year 1 = $375,496.38
  • NCF Year 2 = $418,521.44
  • NCF Year 3 = $304,148.09

c. What is the additional Year 3-cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?

  • $355,433.10

d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

  • NPV = $20,384.22 since it is positive, then the project should be carried out and the machine should be purchased.

Explanation:

book value of the robotic sprayer = $1,080,000 + $22,500 = $1,102,500

useful life 3 years, salvage value $605,000

MACRS 3-year class:

0.333 x $1,102,500 = $367,132.50

0.4445 x $1,102,500 = $490,061.25

0.1481 x $1,102,500 = $163,280.25

requires an additional $15,500 investment in inventory

saves $380,000 per year

marginal tax rate 35%

net cash flow year 1 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($367,132.50 x 35%) = $247,000 + $128,496.38 = $375,496.38

net cash flow year 2 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($490,061.25 x 35%) = $247,000 + $171,521.44 = $418,521.44

net cash flow year 3 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($163,280.25 x 35%) = $247,000 + $57,148.09 = $304,148.09

terminal cash flow = [sales price - (purchase cost - accumulated depreciation)] x (1 - tax rate) + recovered net working capital = [$605,000 - ($1,102,500 - $1,020,474)] x 0.65 + $15,500 = $355,433.10  

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV:

Year 0 -$1,118,000

Year 1 $375,496.38

Year 2 $418,521.44

Year 3 $304,148.09 + $355,433.10 = $659,581.19

discount rate 12%

NPV = $20,384.22
