You have a bike store. Your assets consist of $10,400 in inventory, $1,000 in equipment (phones, computers, etc.) and $600 cash. You are capitalized with $10,000 owners’ equity and $2,000 debt at 6%. Assume your only variable cost are the bikes you purchase from the manufacturer, $60/bike. Your fixed costs total $2500. During the year you purchased 250 bikes and sold them at $80/bike. But you only paid for half the bikes you bought; the rest were sold to you “on credit.” Your profits tax rate is 20%. What is your ROE for the year? You “took out” all the profits. Do the “money in – money out” to calculate the net change in cash for the year. What does your balance sheet look like at the end of the year?

Problem 4-03 (Algorithmic) The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenueproducing investments together with annual rates of return are as follows:
Type of Loan/Investment Annual Rate of Return (%)
-Automobile loans: 8%
-Furniture loans 10%
-Other secured loans 11%
-Signature loans 12 %
-Risk-free securities 9 %
The credit union will have $1.8 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments. Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment. Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans). Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans. Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities. How should the $1.8 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Automobile Loans $ 472,500 Furniture Loans $ 127,500 Other Secured Loans $ 0 Signature Loans $ 163,636 Risk Free Loans $ 540,000 What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ 170,673

The Howland Carpet Company has grown rapidly during the past 5 years. Recently, its commercial bank urged the company to consider increasing its permanent financing. Its bank loan under a line of credit has risen to $250,000, carrying an 8% interest rate. Howland has been 30 to 60 days late in paying trade creditors. Discussions with an investment banker have resulted in the decision to raise $500,000 at this time. Investment bankers have assured the firm that the following alternatives are feasible (flotation costs will be ignored).
● Alternative 1: Sell common stock at $8.
● Alternative 2: Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i.e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
● Alternative 3: Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
John L. Howland, the president, owns 80% of the common stock and wishes to maintain control of the company. There are 100,000 shares outstanding. The following are extracts of Howland’s latest financial statements:
