Firm A plans to buy Firm T in a LBO for $759,600. The target is projected to earn $270,000; $290,000, and $300,000 for the next three years respectively. If Firm A plans to sell Firm T after year 3 for $3,060,000, what is the IRR of the investment? (Assume a WACC of 12%)

Unit price: $50
Variable cost: $30
Fixed Cost: $430,000
Expected Sales: 42,000 units per year
However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10% high or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1.9 million, which will be depreciate straight line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm’s tax rate is 35% and the required rate of return is 10%.

1. What is project NPV in the best case scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value?
2. What is project NPV in the worst case scenario?

1. Carol's budget for the coming year estimates monthly sales in units for the first five months of the year as follows: April, 3K; May, 38K; June 40K; July, 39K; and August, 38K.

The ending inventory of finished units available for sale is to be maintained at 25% of the next month's estimated sales. On April 1, there were 12,000 units on hand. There is no work in process at the end of any month. Each unit of finished product requires the use of five units of materials. Materials are to be carried in inventory in an amount equal to one-third of the expected production of the coming month. Beginning inventory on April 1 of the current year was 54,167 units of material.

a.    Prepare a production budget (in units) for the first four months of the period.  

b.    Prepare a materials purchases budget (in units of materials) for the second quarter of the coming year.

Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.3 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight line over 6 years to a value of zero, but in fact it can be sold after 6 years for $672,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.70 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $7 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%, and the required rate of return on the project is 9%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule. Year: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thereafter Sales (millions of traps) 0 0.5 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.7 0.5 0

a. What is project NPV? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 4 decimal places.)

b. By how much would NPV increase if the firm depreciated its investment using the 5-year MACRS schedule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in whole dollars not in millions.)

What is the Macaulay duration of a bond with a coupon of 6.2 percent, five years to maturity, and a current price of $1,064.70? What is the modified duration? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Warrington LTD makes and sells one product. Unit costs for direct materials and direct labor are $24 and $36. In March, 20K units were produced, and total overhead was $214K. In April, 26K units were produced, and total overhead was $259K. The selling price of the unit is $100.

1. Compute the total fixed overhead of the company

2. Compute the contribution margin ratio

3. Compute the company's break-even point in sales dollars

4. Compute the number of units must be sold to have net income of $122K

1.)Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $270,000. The firm will raise the $270,000 in capital by issuing $100,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 10.2%, $30,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 11.4%, and $140,000 of equity at a cost of 14.3%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project?      (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to three decimal places.)

2.) Consider the case of Kuhn Co.

Kuhn Co. is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $20 million. It has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in five years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 10%, and a market price of $1,050.76. The yield on the company’s current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. The company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $8 at a price of $95.70 per share.

Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $22.35 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 8% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is projected to grow at a constant rate of 8.7%, and they face a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project?      (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

NOK Plastics is considering the acquisition of a new plastic injection-molding machine to make a line of plastic fittings. The cost of the machine and dies is $125,000. Shipping and installation is another $8,000. NOK estimates it will need a $10,000 investment in net working capital initially, which will be recovered at the end of the life of the equipment. Sales of the new plastic fittings are expected to be $350,000 annually. Cost of goods sold are expected to be 50% of sales. Additional operating expenses are projected to be $115,000 per year over the machine’s expected 5-year useful life. The machine will depreciated using a 5-year MACRS class life. The equipment will be sold at the end of its useful life (5 years) for $35,000. The tax rate is 25% and the relevant discount rate is 15%. Calculate the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period (PB), and profitability index (PI) and state whether the project should be accepted.

Cosmo, a Japanese exporter, wishes to hedge its $15 million in dollar receivables coming due in 60 days. In order to reduce its net cost of hedging to zero, however, Cosmo sells a 60-day dollar call option for $15 million with a strike price of ¥98/$ and uses the premium of $314,000 to buy a 60-day $15 million put option at a strike price of ¥90/$.a.Graph the payoff on Cosmo's hedged position over the range ¥80/$-¥110/$. What risk is Cosmo subjecting itself to with this option hedge?

You are considering making a movie. The movie is expected to cost $ 10.9 million up front and take a year to produce. After​ that, it is expected to make $ 4.5 million in the year it is released and $ 2.1 million for the following four years. What is the payback period of this​ investment? If you require a payback period of two​ years, will you make the​ movie? Does the movie have positive NPV if the cost of capital is 10.7%​?

B.F. Pierce & Company is considering changing its capital structure. The company currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows:

The company uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity. Currently the risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 6%, and the company’s tax rate is 35%. The company estimates that its beta now (which is unlevered because it currently has no debt) is 0.8. Based on this information, what is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital at its optimal capital structure?
