At the end of 2019, Uma Corporation is considering a major long-term project in an effort competitive in its industry. The produ

ction and sales departments have determined the potential annual cash flow savings that could accrue to the firm if it acts soon. Specifically, they estimate that a mixed stream of future cash flow savings will occur at the end of the years 2021 through 2026. The years 2027 through 2031 will see consecutive and equal cash flow savings at the end of each year. The firm estimates that its discount rate over the first 6 years will be 7%. The expected discount rate over the years 2027 through 2031 will be 11%. The project managers will find the project acceptable if it results in present cash flow savings of at least $860,000. The following cash flow savings data are supplied to the finance department for analysis.
a. Determine the value (at the beginning of 2019) of the future cash flow savings expected to be generated by this project.
b. Based solely on the one criterion set by management, should the firm undertake this specific project? Explain.
c. What is the "interest rate risk," and how might it influence the recommendation made in part b? Explain.
Discount rate for years 2020 - 2025 7%
Discount rate for years 2026 - 2030 11%

Year Year (n) Flow Value
2020 1 $110,000
2021 2 120,000
2022 3 130,000
2023 4 150,000
2024 5 160,000
2025 6 150,000
2026 7 90,000
2027 8 90,000
2028 9 90,000
2029 10 90,000
2030 11 90,000
Could you please fill the present value for each year in excel and showing me the formula for each year?
The concept of interest-rate risk states that changes in the interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investor's securities portfolio. While this is not a securities problem, the relationship between the change in rates and the subsequent change in the value of an asset hold true. If the the interest rates were to rise just 1%, the present value of the expected savings would fall below the required $860,000 limit set by mangement.

Answer:

A. $820,036.47

B. No, the firm should not undertake this specific project

C. If the interest rate go higher by 1 percent the risk is that the present cash flow savings limits of the amount of $860,000 set by the management will fall.

Explanation:

a. Calculation to Determine the value of the future cash flow savings expected to be generated by this project.

PRESENT VALUE

2020 = $110,000/(1.07)^1

2020= $102,803.74

2021= $120,000/(1.07)^2

2021=$104,812.65

2022 =$130,000/(1.07)^3

2022=$106,118.72

2023 =$150,000/(1.07)^4

2023=$114,434.28

2024 =$160,000/(1.07)^5

2021=$114,077.79

2025 =$150,000/(1.07)^6

2025=$99,951.33

2026 =$90,000/(1.11)^7

2026=$433,49.26

2027 =$90,000/(1.11)^8

2027=$39,053.38

2028 =$90,000/(1.11)^9

2028=$351,83.23

2029 =$90,000/(1.11)^10

2029=$31,696.60

2030 =$90000/(1.11)^11

2030=$28,555.49

TOTAL VALUE $820,036.47

Therefore the value of the future cash flow savings expected to be generated by this project is $820,036.47 .

b. Based on the criterion that was set by the management, the firm should NOT undertake this specific project reason been that the total amount of the PRESENT VALUE (PV) cash inflow of the amount of $820,036.47 is LESSER than the present cash flow savings of the amount of $860,000 that was set by the management.

c. Based on the information given in a situation were the interest rate go higher by 1 percent the risk is that the present cash flow savings limits of the amount of $860,000 set by the management will fall.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The impacts of the fur trade on society in terms of economics, culture, technology, nature, and the government changed over the time.

Rockefeller never act unethically by the standards of his day or today´s.

There is nocontradiction between his personal and business ethics.

Explanation:

The fur trade was a vast commercial enterprise, which was at its peak for nearly 250 years, from the early 17th to the mid-19th centuries, sustained to satisfy the demand in an intensely competitive trade which opened exploration and settlement, financing missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between Europeans and Indigenous people.

Changing cultural in the fashion industry, has had a drastic evolution over the years, when a woman in the first half of the twentieth century , might be very proud to wear a fox stole with its head and feet intact but today, it would consider  that an ethical faux pas.

Ethics has become a major consideration for young people in their selection of work and career, who demand enshrined values in their business  model, a difference, contributing with their core values, conscience, and personality not just profit.By the standards of his day Rockefeller, a faithful, balanced and devout Christian, was not being unethical as he always followed his-time regulations and laws, although nowadays they are more severe.  He compensated all the things he did, if wrong, with his contributions to help people cope with any damage done. There is no contradiction behe did as he had been taught when he was younger that he should separate business from pleasure.

A company has two divisions and evaluates management using return on investment. Division 1 currently makes a part that it sells
Anton [14]

Answer:

c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.

Explanation:

Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1  sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.

The cost of getting the part from outside is $26.  This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.

Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature.  The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made.  They are therefore irrelevant.  The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit.  It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.
