You have just turned twenty-six years of age and feel it is necessary to upgrade your qualifications. After some consideration, you feel that undertaking full-time study for an MPA degree at the Fletcher School is one alternative. For the two years of full-time study, tuition and living expenses will be $55,000 per year. In addition, you will have to give up your current job with a salary of $75,000 per year. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the year. Assume a real interest rate of 3% per year, ignoring taxes. Also assume that the salary increase is a fixed real amount that starts after you complete your degree (at the end of the year following graduation) and lasts until retirement at age sixty-five. In order to justify the investment, by how much does your salary have to increase as a result of getting the MPA degree?

Managers at Acme Doohickey Co. are considering two projects.

• Project A: purchase and operation of a new machine, called the Starpunch, for manufacturing Acme doohickeys. The life of this project is three years.
• Project B: purchase and operation of a new machine, called the Sunspot, for manufacturing Acme doohickeys. The life of this project is two years.

The machines have identical capacity and produce the same doohickey. The company only has floor space in its machinists’ shop for one machine.

Assume that the appropriate discount rate in 8%, compounded annually. Identify which project, if either, managers should accept, and explain why.

Table: Expected Cash Flows for Projects A and B

Note: the table lists net revenue and net cost for each project and each year. But the table is incomplete; you will need to calculate the Net Cash Flows.

Group of answer choices

Reject both projects. When both of the project lifetimes are correctly extended to 6 years, the NPV for each project is negative.

A) Accept Project A. Its NPV > 0. Also, when both of the project lifetimes are correctly extended to 6 years, the Project A NPV = $9,373 which is greater than the Project B NPV = $t,662.

B) Accept Project A. Its NPV > 0. Also, when both of the project lifetimes are correctly extended to 6 years, the Project A NPV = $6,559 which is greater than the Project B NPV = $3,218.

C) Accept Project B. Its NPV > 0. In addition, its cost in each year is less than the corresponding cost for Project A.

D) Accept Project A. Its NPV > 0. Also, when both of the project lifetimes are correctly extended to 6 years, the Project A NPV = $3,656 which is greater than the Project B NPV = $1,241.

Chilly Moose Fruit Producer has a total asset turnover ratio of 6.00x, net annual sales of $25 million, and operating expenses of $11 million (including depreciation and amortization). On its balance sheet and income statement, respectively, it reported total debt of $2.50 million on which it pays a 7% interest rate.

To analyze a company’s financial leverage situation, you need to measure the firm’s debt management ratios. Based on the preceding information, what are the values for Chilly Moose Fruit’s debt management ratios?

Influenced by a firm’s ability to make interest payments and pay back its debt, if all else is equal, creditors would prefer to give loans to companies with     times-interest-earned ratios (TIE).
