Tumbling Haven, a gymnastic equipment manufacturer, provided the following information to its accountant. The company had net fixed assets of $356,190, and other assets of $4,176. The firm has current liabilities of $94,792, long-term debt of $76,445, common stock of $200,000, and retained earnings of $134,461. What amount of current assets did this firm have?

We have an annual coupon bond with a face value of$1000​. It has 14 years to maturity, and with a price of $79. Now the coupon rate on the bond is 7​%. If we can reinvest the coupon at a rate of 3.5​% per​ year, then how much money do would we have if we were to hold the bond to​ maturity?

I have another bond worth $1,247.23. The bond have a face value of $1,000​,a coupon rate of 5%, with coupon annually, and it will mature in

25 years. What will the yield to maturity of the​ bond be?

how do I figure out the following ratios based on the consolidated financial data:

1.) Gross Profit Margin 2.) Operating Profit Margin 3.) Return on Equity 4.) Earnings Per Share 5.) Current Ratio 6.) Total debt-to-assets ratio 7.) Debt-to-equity ratio 8.) CAGR % 9.) Bakery-café sales 10.) Total Revenues 11.) Total bakery-café expenses 12.) Net income to shareholders

The 1095 Corporation is considering purchasing equipment which will require an initial cash investment of $285,000. It expects to increase its cash flow from the equipment as follows: Year 1 - $125,000;   Year 2 - $155,000;   Year 3 - $115,000. (All yearly cash flows are positive #s). If the company’s required return is 13%, what is the approximate IRR for this investment?

1. Less than 0
2. Between 0 and 5%
3. Between 5% and 10%
4. Between 10% and 15%
5. Greater than 15%

Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $270,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. The new machine will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. Management thinks the machine would have a value of $23,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. Net operating working capital would increase by $25,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes's marginal tax rate is 25%, and an 11% WACC is appropriate for the project.

1. Calculate the project's NPV. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

4. Suppose the CFO wants you to do a scenario analysis with different values for the cost savings, the machine's salvage value, and the net operating working capital (NOWC) requirement. She asks you to use the following probabilities and values in the scenario analysis:

   Scenario	Probability	Cost Savings	Salvage Value	NOWC
   Worst case	0.35	$72,000	$18,000	$30,000
   Base case	0.35	$90,000	$23,000	$25,000
   Best case	0.30	$108,000	$28,000	$20,000

   
   Calculate the project's expected NPV, its standard deviation, and its coefficient of variation. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer for expected NPV and for standard deviation to the nearest cent and for coefficient of variation to two decimal places.

Part A: ABC Inc. is considering a proposal to manufacture a new product and add it to the existing lines of their products. The project requires the use of an existing warehouse, which the firm acquired three years ago for £1 million and which it currently rents out for £120,000 per year. Rental rates are not expected to change going forward. In addition to using the warehouse, the project requires an up-front investment into machines and other equipment of £1.4m. This investment can be fully depreciated straight-line over the next 10 years for tax purposes. However, ABC Inc. expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to sell the machines and equipment for £500,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment into net working capital equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. Subsequently, net working capital is 10% of the predicted sales over the following year and it is fully recovered at the end of the project. Sales of the new product are expected to be £4.8 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total manufacturing costs and operating expenses (excluding depreciation) are 80% of sales, and profits are taxed at 30%. [15 marks]

i. What are the free cash flows of the project? Show your calculations.

ii. If the cost of capital is 15%, what is the NPV of the project?

Part B: Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of £1.50. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by £0.12 per year over the next five years. After then, Colgate's earnings are expected to grow 6% per year, and its dividend payout rate will remain constant.

If Colgate's equity cost of capital is 8.5% per year, what price does the dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for today? [10 marks]

Mr. Wong has just turned 30 today. He approaches Nopay Assurance Limited to buy a $1,000,000 WHOLE life insurance protection. The mortality table appropriate for an average male of Mr. Wong's age and health conditions is given below.

The insurance premiums are paid at the beginning of each period and death benefit is paid at the end of the period of death. The current interest rate is so low that it can be assumed to be 4% per year. Ignore the cost loadings and the profit margin of Nopay Assurance.

(a) If Mr. Wong wants to make one and only one premium payment at Age 30, what is the single premium payment?

(b) Determine the level premiums for Mr. Wong's whole life policy. There are FOUR level premiums.

(c) Determine the cash value at each age of Mr. Wong.

The capital structure of a company with relevant market information are shown as below:

Common stock: There are 55 million shares outstanding of $10 par. The stock has a beta coefficient of 1.8. The management of the company just paid an annual dividend of $1.5 per share and the market expects that the dividend growth rate to be 20 percent for coming three years and grow by 5 percent per year thereafter in the foreseeable future. The required rate ofreturn on your company’s stock is 15 percent.

Preferred stock: 12 million shares currently selling at $96 per share, with dividend rate of 6 percent and face value of $100.

Debt: Three years ago, the company issued 9 million 15-years 8% semi-annual coupon bonds with par value of $1,000 that are still outstanding. The yield-to-maturity (in terms of an effective rate of return) on the bond is 16% per annum.

Market: The current Treasury bill yields 3 percent and the expected return on the market is 12 percent. The company is in the 40% corporate tax bracket.

Required:

(a) Estimate the current common stock value using the Dividend Growth Model.

(b) Calculate the bond price today. [answers in a whole dollar amount] (Additional Question: Noted the YTM is stated as effective rate of return. Should I change it to in terms of annual percentage rate ?)

(c) Based on answers in above (a) and (b), determine the company’s capital structure weights(WE, WP, WD) for equities and debt. [answers in %]

(d) Compute the cost of equity (RE) using CAPM, cost of preferred stock (RP), and pre-tax cost of debt (RD). [answers in %]

(e) Assuming that the company is going to maintain the current capital structure, calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the company. [answer in %]

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The purchase price of the spectrometer including modifications is $210,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $62,000. The equipment would require a $5,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%.

Use the cash flows of a portfolio of the following three bonds to calculate the yield to maturity of he porfolio. Each bond has a face value of $1,000. Use the cash flows and yield to maturity to calculate the duration of the portfolio:

Three-yeear zero coupon bond with 5% yield.

Five-year zero-coupon bond with 7% yield.

Seven-year zero-coupon bond with 6% yield.

Verify your portfolio duration calculation using the weighted average of the individual bond durations.
