Consider a hypothetical futures contract in which the current price is $82. The initial margin requirement is $5, and the maintenance margin requirement is $2. You go long 20 contracts and meet all margin calls, but do not withdraw any excess margin. The settlement price and spot price look like this:

1. Suppose you receive margin call at the beginning of the day, when your account is equal and less than maintenance margin. Which is the first day that you will receive margin call at the beginning of that day?

2. What is the total amount that you are going to put your account from day 0 to day 6?

3. What is the total loss and profit from day 0 to day 6, if the long holder always stays in the market?

Forecasted Statements and Ratios

Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is shown here (millions of dollars):

Cash $ 3.5 Accounts payable $ 9.0 Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0 Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0 Total current assets $ 87.5 Accruals 8.5 Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $ 35.5 Mortgage loan 6.0 Common stock 15.0 Retained earnings 66.0 Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5

Sales for 2016 were $300 million and net income for the year was $9 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $3.6 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2017. Do not round intermediate calculations.

If sales are projected to increase by $70 million, or 23.33%, during 2017, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.

%

Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2017. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt). Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2017 as they were in 2016. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2017 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2017 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.) Round your answers to the nearest cent.

How do I figure out on a ba ii plus calculator, how to figure how many years it would take ? to pay off a house by making an extra payment or changing the payment all else fixed?

for example if I had a $210,000 house with a 30 year mortgage at 2.25% and my payment is $802.72. if I change my payment to let's say $ 1600, how many years would that take to pay off my loan? and how would I figure that out with any payment change ? Thank you ?

Compute the discounted payback statistic for Project C if the appropriate cost of capital is 8 percent and the maximum allowable discounted payback period is three years. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Garlington Technologies Inc.'s 2016 financial statements are shown below:

Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016

Income Statement for December 31, 2016

Suppose that in 2017 sales increase by 5% over 2016 sales and that 2017 dividends will increase to $118,000. Forecast the financial statements using the forecasted financial statement method. Assume the firm operated at full capacity in 2016. Use an interest rate of 14%, and assume that any new debt will be added at the end of the year (so forecast the interest expense based on the debt balance at the beginning of the year). Cash does not earn any interest income. Assume that the all new-debt will be in the form of a line of credit. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Given the following data for a stock: beta = 1.2; risk-free rate = 3%; market rate of return = 13%; and expected rate of return on the stock = 17%. Then the stock is:

Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the purchase of a new water filtration system produced by Rube Goldberg Machines. This new equipment, the RGM-7000, will allow Caspian Sea Drinks to expand production. It will cost $12.00 million fully installed and will be fully depreciated over a 20 year life, then removed for no cost. The RGM-7000 will result in additional revenues of $3.21 million per year and increased operating costs of $581,786.00 per year. Caspian Sea Drinks' marginal tax rate is 26.00%. If Caspian Sea Drinks uses a 8.00% discount rate, then the net present value of the RGM-7000 is _____.

Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the purchase of a plum juicer – the PJX5. There is no planned increase in production.

a. The PJX5 will cost $2.37 million fully installed and has a 10 year life. It will be depreciated to a book value of $131,746.00 and sold for that amount in year 10.

b. The Engineering Department spent $34,779.00 researching the various juicers.

c. Portions of the plant floor have been redesigned to accommodate the juicer at a cost of $20,597.00.

d. The PJX5 will reduce operating costs by $345,554.00 per year.

AFN Equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.2 million in 2016 to $10.25 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 7%. Assume that the company pays no dividends. Under these assumptions, what would be the additional funds needed for the coming year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
