You are the financial manager of a firm manufacturing headphones. You just announced that this year’s profits are $2 million. Analysts predict your profits will grow at 5% each year for the next three years and then profit growth will slow to 3%per year and will continue growing at 3%in perpetuity. Assuming an opportunity cost of capital of 5%per year, what is the present value of your future (not counting this year) projected profits? what is the present of your future projected earning including this year’s profits?

A Restaurant is open only for 25 days in a month.

Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for each sandwich at $5.00 per slice, $1,209.00 as monthly rental and $210.00 monthly as insurance. They consider the cost of lost sales as $6.00 per item. They are able to sell any leftover sandwiches for $3. They prepares 200.00 sandwiches and sells them at a rate of $13.00/sandwich.
Today there was a party at nearby office so the demand for sandwiches rose to 227.00. How much profit did the restaurant earn today?

Please answer what you can. The data is too long for me to add the Income Statement, which is necessary for these questions. Since many of these questions cannot be answered without the IS, and they all pertain to the same data - this should be counted as one question.

c. Was the current ratio for year 2019 better or worse compared to 2018 (a one word answer please)

d. What was the company's inventory turnover for 2019?

e. What was the average collection period (2019) for their accounts receivable?

One of IBM's bond issues has an annual coupon rate of 3.6%, a face value of $1,000 and matures in 9 years

What is the value of the bond if the required return is 7%?

A project has an initial outlay of $4,975. It has a single payoff at the end of year 6 of $7,589. What is the net present value (NPV) of the project if the company’s cost of capital is 12.36 percent?

Round the answer to two decimal places.

WACC

Empire Electric Company (EEC) uses only debt and common equity. It can borrow unlimited amounts at an interest rate of r_d = 11% as long as it finances at its target capital structure, which calls for 35% debt and 65% common equity. Its last dividend (D₀) was $2.65, its expected constant growth rate is 6%, and its common stock sells for $30. EEC's tax rate is 40%. Two projects are available: Project A has a rate of return of 15%, and Project B's return is 11%. These two projects are equally risky and about as risky as the firm's existing assets.

You are a new financial analyst for Acme Bank and Funeral Directors. You are looking at the following for a company you are considering for a loan. Sales = $650,000, their operating profit was $400,000, their interest expense = $35,000, the par value of their common stock was $20,000, the paid-in-capital in excess of par was $210,000 and they have 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Assume a 21% tax rate.

Given this information: What was the price of a share of common stock when it was sold (assume no flotation costs and they only sold stock once) ?
AND
If they had no preferred stock, what must have been their earnings per share?

CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $9 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $51 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $17 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $18 million. The risk-adjusted WACC is 14%.

1. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
   NPV $ million
   IRR %

   Calculate the NPV and IRR without mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
   NPV $ million
   IRR %

2. How should the environmental effects be dealt with when this project is evaluated?

   1. The environmental effects if not mitigated could result in additional loss of cash flows and/or fines and penalties due to ill will among customers, community, etc. Therefore, even though the mine is legal without mitigation, the company needs to make sure that they have anticipated all costs in the "no mitigation" analysis from not doing the environmental mitigation.
   2. The environmental effects should be ignored since the mine is legal without mitigation.
   3. The environmental effects should be treated as a sunk cost and therefore ignored.
   4. The environmental effects if not mitigated would result in additional cash flows. Therefore, since the mine is legal without mitigation, there are no benefits to performing a "no mitigation" analysis.
   5. The environmental effects should be treated as a remote possibility and should only be considered at the time in which they actually occur.

3. Should this project be undertaken?
   -Select-Even when mitigation is considered the project has a positive IRR, so it should be undertaken.The project should not be undertaken under the "no mitigation" assumption.The project should be undertaken only under the "no mitigation" assumption.The project should not be undertaken under the "mitigation" assumption.Even when mitigation is considered the project has a positive NPV, so it should be undertaken.

   If so, should the firm do the mitigation?

   1. Under the assumption that all costs have been considered, the company would mitigate for the environmental impact of the project since its IRR with mitigation is greater than its IRR when mitigation costs are not included in the analysis.
   2. Under the assumption that all costs have been considered, the company would not mitigate for the environmental impact of the project since its NPV with mitigation is greater than its NPV when mitigation costs are not included in the analysis.
   3. Under the assumption that all costs have been considered, the company would not mitigate for the environmental impact of the project since its IRR without mitigation is greater than its IRR when mitigation costs are included in the analysis.
   4. Under the assumption that all costs have been considered, the company would mitigate for the environmental impact of the project since its NPV with mitigation is greater than its NPV when mitigation costs are not included in the analysis.
   5. Under the assumption that all costs have been considered, the company would not mitigate for the environmental impact of the project since its NPV without mitigation is greater than its NPV when mitigation costs are included in the analysis.
