When facing a shortage, what can be expected?

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation: please refer to the explanation section

Initial fixed asset Investment = 2.33million = 2 330 000

Modified Accelerated Cost recovery System

The Fixed Asset Falls under the 3 year MACRS class the project the asset which states that Asset Depreciation range Midpoint is 4 years or less The period for this project is 3 years

Estimated annual sales = $1735000

costs = $640,000

Initial Net working Capital investment = $300,000

Residual Value (Value of the fixed asset at the end) = $255,000

a. Projected Cash flows

Year 0

Cash outflows = 2 330 000 - 300 000 - 255 000 = 2375000

year 1 year 2 year 3

Estimated sales 1735000 1735000 1735000

costs -640000 -640000 -640000

Depreciation -791666.67 -791666.67 -791666.67

Residual Value 255000

Net sales 303333.33 303333.33 558333.33

Tax 25% -75833.33 -75833.33 -139583.33

Net Cash flows 227500 227500 418750

Depreciation = (2330 00 + 300 000 -255000)/3= 791666.67

Tax = Net sales x 25%

b Net Present Value (Required rate Return = 9%)

PV = 227500/(1+0.09)^1 + 227500/(1 + 0.09)^2 + 418750/(1+0.09)^3

Present Value of cash flows = 723549.63

Net Present Value = 723549.63 - 2630 000 = -1906450.37

The net present Value is Negative indicating the project will not bring positive returns

Should Tangshan Mining company accept a new project if its maximum payback is 3.5 years and its initial after tax cost is $5,00

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Yes, Tangshan Mining company should accept the project.

Explanation:

Payback period is the number of years it takes for a project's expected cash inflows to recover the initial investment amount.

Tangshan company's required payback period = 3.5 years

Year CF Net CF

0 -5,000,000 -5,000,000

1 1,800,000 -3,200,000

2 1,900,000 -1,300,000

3 700,000 -600,000

4 1,800,000 1,200,000

Payback period = last year with -net CF +(absolute net CF that year /total CF the following year)

Payback period = 3 + (600,000 / 1,800,000)

=3 + 0.33

= 3.33 years

Since 3.33 years is lower than the required payback period of 3.5 years, Tangshan Mining company should ACCEPT the new project; it will take less years to fully recover the initial amount investment.

Andrew Industries is contemplating issuing a -year bond with a coupon rate of (annual coupon payments) and a face value of .

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:

Andrew Industries is contemplating issuing a 30-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.13% (annual coupon payments) and a face value of $1,000. Andrew believes it can get a rating of A from Standard& Poor's. However, due to recent financial difficulties at the company, Standard & Poor's is warning that it may downgrade Andrew Industries' bonds to BBB. Yields on A-rated, long-term bonds are currently 6.43%, and yields on BBB-rated bonds are 6.84%.

a. What is the price of the bond if Andrew Industries maintains the A rating for the bond issue?

if the YTM is 6.43%, then the market price will be:

0.0643 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0643 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0643 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

32.15 + 0.03215M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06548M = 72.48

M = 72.48 / 0.06548 = $1,106.90

b. What will be the price of the bond if it is downgraded?

if the YTM is 6.84%, then the market price will be:

0.0684 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0684 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0684 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

34.20 + 0.0342M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06753M = 70.43

M = 70.43 / 0.06753 = $1,042.94
