Madura Inc. wants to increase its free cash flow by $180 million during the coming year, which should result in a higher EVA and

stock price. The CFO has made these projections for the upcoming year: · EBIT is projected to equal $960 million. · Gross capital expenditures are expected to total to $360 million versus depreciation of $120 million, so its net capital expenditures should total $240 million. · The tax rate is 40%. · There will be no changes in cash or marketable securities, nor will there be any changes in notes payable or accruals. What increase in net operating working capital (in millions of dollars) would enable the firm to meet its target increase in FCF?

Answer:

$156 million

Explanation:

The computation of the change in net working capital  is shown below:

Free cash flow = EBIT × (1 -Tax Rate) + Depreciation & Amortization - Change in Net Working Capital - net capital Expenditure.

$180 million = $960 million × (1 - 40%) + $120 million - change in working capital - $360 million

$180 million = $576 million + $120 million - change in working capital - $360 million

$180 million = $336 million - change in working capital

So, the change in working capital would be

= $336 million - $180 million

= $156 million

Find the APR, or stated rate, in each of the following cases (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Stated Rate    No. of Times Compounded     Effective Rate (EAR) %            

   11.85%                    Semiannually                             12.2 %

   12.37%                    Monthly                                      13.1%

   110.27%                    Weekly                                       10.8%

   13.54%                    Infinite                                        14.5%

Explanation:

EAR = ( 1 + ( APR / m )^m)-1

Semiannually

m = 12 / 6 = 2

0.1220 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2) - 1

0.1220 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2

1.1220 = ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2

\sqrt{1.1220} = \sqrt{( 1 + ( APR / 2 ))^2}

1.059 = 1 + ( APR / 2 )

1.059 - 1 = APR / 2

0.059 x 2 = APR

APR = 0.1185 = 11.85%

Monthly

m = 12  / 1 = 12

0.1310 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1310 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1310 = ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

APR = 12.37%

Weekly

m = 52

0.1080 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52) - 1

0.1080 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

1.1080 = ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

APR = 10.27%

Infinite

m = 20,000

0.1450 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1450 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1450 = ( 1 + ( APR / 20,000 ) )^20,000

APR = 13.54%

A company estimates that the appropriate discount rate (i.e., the cost of capital) for Project A, Project B, Project C and Proje
aliina [53]

Answer:

a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.

Explanation:

a.

The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.

b.

When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.

c.

The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.

d.

Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year

Explanation:

<em>The expected number of orders would be the Annual demand divided by the economic order quantity(EOQ).</em>

<em>The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes the balance of holding cost and ordering cost. At the EOQ, the holding cost is exactly the same as the ordering cost.</em>

It is calculated as follows:

EOQ = (2× Co D)/Ch)^(1/2)

Co- ordering cost Ch - holding cost, D- annual demand

EOQ = (2× 10 × 100000/2)^(1/2)= 3162.27 units

Number of orders = Annual Demand/EOQ

                              = 100,000/3,162.27= 31.62 orders

Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year
