You have been hired as a capital budgeting analyst by Advent Sports, a sporting goods firm that manufactures athletic shoes. The firm believes it can generate another $10 million per year over the next 10 years by investing $10 million in a new distribution system (which will be depreciated over the system's 10-year life to a salvage value of zero). The firm will also need an initial increase of $1 million in net working capital to take on this project. The company expects its variable costs associated with these sales to be 40% of revenues, and additional advertising costs are anticipated to be $1 million per year. The firm is in the 40% tax bracket and has a hurdle rate of 8%. What is the project's NPV expected to be?

Select one:

A. $12,277,470

B. $14,556,754

C. $15,876,943

Assume the total cost of a college education will be $375,000 when your infant child enters college in 17 years. How much you invest at the end of each month in order to accumulate the required $375,000 at the end of 17 years if your monthly investments earn an annual interest rate of 4 percent, compounded monthly?

Dyrdek Enterprises has equity with a market value of $10.7 million and the market value of debt is $3.50 million. The company is evaluating a new project that has more risk than the firm. As a result, the company will apply a risk adjustment factor of 1.5 percent. The new project will cost $2.18 million today and provide annual cash flows of $571,000 for the next 6 years. The company's cost of equity is 11.03 percent and the pretax cost of debt is 4.87 percent. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the project's NPV?

Strong Metals Inc. purchased a new stamping machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $1,330,000. The estimated residual value was $70,000. Assume that the estimated useful life was five years and the estimated productive life of the machine was 300,000 units. Actual annual production was as follows:

Required:

1. Complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods.

a. Straight-line.

b. Units-of-production.

c. Double-declining-balance.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

At the beginning of the year, Plummer's Sports Center bought three used fitness machines from Brunswick Corporation. The machines immediately were overhauled, installed, and started operating. The machines were different; therefore, each had to be recorded separately in the accounts.

By the end of the first year, each machine had been operating 6,500 hours.

2. Prepare the entry to record depreciation expense at the end of Year 1, assuming the following. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Pool Corporation, Inc., reported in its recent annual report that "In 2010, our industry experienced some price deflation. . . . In 2011, our industry experienced more normalized price inflation of approximately 3.5% overall despite price deflation for certain chemical products.'' This suggests that in some years Pool’s overall inventory costs rise, and in some years they fall. Furthermore, in many years, the costs of some inventory items rise while others fall. Assume that Pool has only two product items in its inventory this year.

Purchase and sales data are presented below.

Required:

1. Compute cost of goods sold for each of the two items separately using the FIFO and LIFO inventory costing methods.

2. Between FIFO and LIFO, which method is preferable in terms of (a) net income and (b) income taxes paid (cash flow)?

Prompt: Identify a situation or strategy to use Time Value of Money or Interest Rates to capitalize on an opportunity. This can be personal, professional, or ways a company can benefit. Describe the situation or strategy and demonstrate how it's beneficial.

You are a financial analyst for Loch Motor Company and have been asked to determine the impact of alternative depreciation methods. For your analysis, you have been asked to compare methods based on a machine that cost $206,000. The estimated useful life is 12 years, and the estimated residual value is $46,160. The machine has an estimated useful life in productive output of 222,000 units. Actual output was 31,000 in year 1 and 27,000 in year 2.

Required:

1. For years 1 and 2 only, prepare separate depreciation schedules assuming: (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

a. Straight-line method.

b. Units-of-production method.
