Answer:

A. $21,200,000

B. $20,800,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Opportunity cost of funds)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.06)]÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.06)]÷0.02

Value of the firm= $424,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $21,200,000

Therefore The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends will be $21,200,000

B. Calculation to determine The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends

Using this formula

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Constant growth annual rate)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= $416,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $20,800,000

Therefore The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends will be $20,800,000

The payment made each period on an amortized loan is constant, and it consists of some interest and some principal. The closer w
qaws [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

The amortization operation consists of regularly distributing the repayment of the principal (C0), together with the interest accrued throughout the life of the loan. The periodic payments made by the borrower are therefore intended to reimburse, extinguish or amortize the initial capital. This justifies the name of the depreciation transaction and the depreciation terms that are usually assigned to these payments.

Which of the following represents a market failure?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a. Shopping for used cars when the seller has private information about the car unavailable to the buyer

Explanation:

When the market is not able to produce an efficient quantity, then it is said that market is failed. This might happens due to many reasons and asymmetric information is one of them. When there is an asymmetric information, then the sellers of the used car have information about it, but the buyer do not have the full information about the used car.

Hence this leads to inefficient outcome and therefore market fails.

Hence it can be said that a market failure example is Shopping for used cars when the seller has private information about the car unavailable to the buyer.

Hence option first is the correct answer.

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
